Chapter 170: Fire Ninja
In front of his subordinates, Wu Ming unabashedly expressed his ambition for Izumo Province. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The current Izumo Mamoru is the Iyu family, with a stone height of 100,000 stones, and a light ...... 10,000 stones."
Yamanaka Kanosuke said in a deep voice: "The family only has 20,000 stone now, and even a few days ago, the small wealthy family was only 5,000 stone, who would have thought that the lord would not only destroy the Yamada family in one fell swoop, but also defeat the interference of the Iyu family?" ā
"Not bad! And, after breaking Numata Castle and obtaining the savings of the Yamada family, our food stock is enough for 100,000 koku, which can completely set off a great war to unify Izumo Province, and in Iishi County, Tachibana Shigesuke and Oyu Sayoshi should have received my Zhu Yin order, transported the military grain, and prepared for military training, this time the family will recruit 1,000 standing ashigaru and send it to Yuroku, and usually live in the military camp! ā
Wu Ming's eyes flashed: "Next, first dispose of the 1,500 captives, and then kill the Yiyu family's Chuanliu City!" ā
This river-flowing castle is the base camp of the Iyu family, and it represents the hegemony of the Izumo country! Wu Ming is going to smash Huanglong directly!
Hiss......
Hearing this, the sound of gasping was heard in everyone.
"Lord...... The Ka along the way, as well as the sneak attacks of the wealthy and savage, are enough to collapse the family...... At least more than 10,000 troops must be mobilized, and thousands of standing logistics must be prepared to ensure the safety of the rear before they can act! ā
Yamanaka Kanosuke admonished.
He originally thought that the lord just wanted to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation to take down one or two more counties and defeat the general trend of the Yi Yu family, but he didn't expect that Wu Ming would actually destroy the hegemony of the Yi Yu family in one battle!
Naturally, this is something close to impossible.
First of all, there are many wealthy clans along the way, all of which rely on the defense of mountain cities and wooden bars, and bulldoze the past one by one, I am afraid that the army will be completely lost if there are not a few.
Moreover, there are many Chinese and savages on the road, and the troops need to be stable, otherwise the grain route will be unstable.
Unless more than 10,000 troops are mobilized, these small checkpoints will not dare to block and suppress the place.
Now Wu Ming only has two thousand five hundred people, and even the core army is only five hundred, so it's no wonder that Yamanaka Kanosuke is like this.
"I have my own decision, you just need to carry it out!"
Wu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and Kenichi Matsushita next to him held the handle of the knife, and this awe-inspiring aura immediately made Yamanaka Kanosuke's forehead ooze sweat: "Hey! ā
"Excellent! Now let's talk about the captives! ā
Wu Ming knocked on the military fan: "Since it has been decided to attack Yi Yu's family, these thousand and five hundred people naturally can't be put back......
"How about killing them together?"
Kenichi Matsushita licked his lips and felt the desire to kill in his heart.
"Killing prisoners is not good after all!"
Ghost Yiyi Jing frowned: "It's better to send them back and do the hard work for us every day!" ā
"Your suggestions are good, but I want to neutralize them, first of all, the captives will be screened, and all the samurai will be singled out, and if they are willing to submit to my family, they will write an oath, and after pressing the bloody handprint, let them be the leading party! Disobedience kills ...... Among the remaining ashigaru, select the docile ones to go to our rear, take on heavy physical work such as mining and opening roads, and promise to give them pardon after a few years as long as they work hard to contribute to their family, believing that Tachibana Shigersuke will use them well; If you are irritable, or unwilling, let it go on the spot! ā
Wu Ming waved his hand.
"Released?"
Kiyichi Yoshitsune and Kenichi Matsushita both widened their eyes, as if they were seeing their lord for the first time.
"But before you put it, cut off the thumbs of their hands!"
Wu Ming smiled coldly.
This disposal is quite cruel, the thumbs of both hands are where the strength lies, once lost, not only can you not open the bow, you can't wield the sword, you can't even do heavy physical work, you can only become a waste!
Putting it back is just a waste of the enemy's food, and it will also spread the reputation of the ghost family!
Even, you don't need to bear the bad reputation of killing prisoners, which can be called a lot of killings.
ā¦ā¦
A few days later, the Oni Army, which had been resting and recuperating, received assistance from 1,000 people from Iishi County, and suddenly formed a 3,000-strong army and slaughtered into Ohara County, which was adjacent to Iishi County.
The other family heads of the Ashigaru Legion naturally had some complaints, but under Wu Ming's high-pressure rule, they had to lie dormant one after another.
"After passing through Ohara-gun, you can reach Yiyu-gun, where Kawaru Castle is!"
Yamanaka Kanosuke rode a big horse, with a look of doubt on his face: "But there are many wealthy families in Ohara County, most of them are the genealogy of the Yi Yu family, and there are more than 30 wooden bars, which are built in key places, and it is extremely troublesome to lay down one of them......"
Sure enough, not long after the army advanced, a huge wooden barricade could be seen, like a checkpoint, lying in the middle of the road.
Although it is wooden, the basic defense is there, with flags erected in the middle of the barricade and figures on top, obviously guarded by hundreds of people.
"I am the head of the Kobayashi family, and Kobayashi is victorious! I advise you to leave quickly! ā
At the top of the wooden barricade, a military general dressed in golden red feet shouted.
"Won't you surrender?"
Wu Ming was wearing black feet, his face was full of heroism, and he asked lightly, "Xiaolin family?" ā
Kotaro Mochizuki immediately said: "This is a wealthy family in Ohara County, and Shigao has two thousand stone ......."
Such a small family, although it can only mobilize about 200 troops, but relying on the wooden barn, if the army wants to capture it, it needs to lose at least dozens of people!
And there are dozens of such wooden bars in the key places of the entire Ohara County! Not to mention that there are even higher-level cities!
This is like a huge beast with a huge mouth, if there is no leading party or 'righteousness' in the body, oppressing the Hao clan to surrender, then you have to fight one by one along the way, and if you can't get out of Dayuan County, you will lose half of your foot, and the defeat and death will only be in the moment!
"Ghost One Righteous Sutra! If you are allowed to lead the army, what price will it take to take down the wooden scorpion in front of you? ā
Wu Ming asked casually.
"I'm afraid it will take five hundred people, two days!"
The Oni Yiyi Sutra was also wearing black full-legged armor, and there was also the family crest of the head of the green ghost of the ghost family on it, and he replied with a calm face.
"Hmm...... These local wealthy clans and people rely on the geographical advantages and these wooden bars to divide the entire Ohara County, which makes it a little difficult for the Yi Yu family to order, let alone my family......"
Wu Ming looked at the defense in front of him and said coldly.
In addition to the contradiction between the three noble gods, this broken terrain is also the main reason for the formation of such a pattern in the Fuso world!
"What about the losses?"
As soon as he asked this, the cold sweat of the Ghost Yiyi Sutra fell: "Unless a group of ghosts is used, there will be no less than ten people!" ā
Such a fortress, even if he is at the peak of the second level, he will not dare to break through, otherwise eighty percent will not be able to escape the fate of being torn apart by a random knife!
And even if it is the most powerful ghost group under Wu Ming's command, there is no guarantee that no one will die, maybe the enemy will hide a master, even if there is no master, they are not really immortal, they are trapped in a heavy siege, or their heads are cut off, and they will still die!
Even if it is a great sword hero, or even a sword master, it is quite stupid to attack the military strength of thousands of people.
"No one in my family can be injured, and the same is true for the other infantry teams! Kotaro Mochizuki! Bring your family's secret weapon! ā
"Hey!"
Kotaro Mochizuki respectfully accepted the order, and soon after, a strange group of ninjas appeared on the battlefield pushing wooden carts.
Although these ninjas are dressed in simple attire, they all wear forehead guards on their foreheads, and they have a strange whirlpool and bird beak carvings on them.
"It's ...... Trebuchet? ā
Ghost Yiyi Jing barely recognized these wooden cart-like things, and he originally thought that Wu Ming was going to use the big gun.
"Not bad...... It's just a small trebuchet that is easy to disassemble because it's wooden, and it can be transported by car......"
Wu Ming glanced at the wooden bullet on the opposite side: "Although at this distance, throwing stone bullets is still a bit reluctant, but there is no problem with lighter ones!" ā
"Lighter?!"
The ghost was still a little puzzled, and then he saw the ninjas take out black cannonballs, put them on the trebuchet, and throw them violently.
Rumble!
A bright red flame pierced the sky and slammed into the wood.
Whoa!
When this cannonball hits the ground, it explodes, splashing countless flames, and the ashigaru that is hit by it is even more a ghost crying wolf, and after a while, the aroma of roasted meat is emitted.
"Fire ...... Fire oil bombs? ā
After watching a few shots, the enemy's wooden barricade burst into flames, and when the fire destroyed everything unstoppably, the Oni Yiyi Sutra finally reacted.
"Yes, it's a fire oil bomb!"
Wu Ming smiled and said, "The family has accumulated oil for five years, and there is no problem in burning the entire Izumo Kingdom!" ā
To be honest, since I came to this Fuso world and saw such a large number of wooden fortifications, I am really sorry for myself not to be an arsonist.
Since the enemy has been foolish enough to run into the pile of wood, why should he be afraid to add another fire?
In fact, the Dao method can also do this, but the spells of other low-level onmyoji are not very useful, and if Wu Ming wants to do it himself, he will burn them one by one, and he will be tired to death, so he secretly formed this ninja army.
"This ninja army was formed by me and named 'Fire Ninja', what do you think?"
This scene was quite inhumane, and even his own people in the ghost army were frightened, so Wu Ming asked the ghost Yiyi Sutra next to him.
"Very ......"
Watching the flames devour the wood, Oni Yiyijing's lips moved, but he was still silent.
"Kill!"
The gate opened, and it was evident that the general, having realized that all salvage measures were useless, launched a desperate charge.
"Iron Artillery Team! Put! ā
The iron artillery team, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward, firing in three consecutive stages, and many remnants of the defeated generals fell to the ground one after another, but that Kobayashi Chongsheng seemed to have good martial arts, and after the horse fell to the ground, he still charged twenty meters, but in the end he was caught fire by dozens of iron cannons, and it became a sieve on the spot.
"Yoshijing! After the flames are extinguished, you will lead Ashigaru to wipe out the Kobayashi family, presumably the materials stored by his family are enough for our army for a period of time, and let the people around you know the fate of resisting my ghost family! ā
Wu Ming flicked his nails, and his face was calm, as if a heavenly demon had descended into the world. (To be continued.) )
