Chapter 519: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
The difference in the quality of the soldiers is simply a world of difference.
One side, about one meter five tall, thin and small, holding a wooden stick, and the other side, with an average height of more than one meter and sixty, is fat and strong, holding a steel shield and a steel knife!
At the beginning, at the peak of physical strength, it was basically blocking, stepping, waving a knife, a set of standard tactical actions that had been practiced tens of thousands of times, just like the instinct of the body, easily harvesting a human life.
Otomo Tianxiang looked at the appearance of his army below that was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the whole person was not good, which was different from what he expected!
Shouldn't the Ming army have been ambushed by him, smashed by rolling wood and stones, with heavy casualties, and then charged by the army under his command, cut into two sections from the middle, and then couldn't care about each other, and was defeated by himself, and fled in embarrassment?
That military book, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is introduced like this!
How could something go wrong!!
Can anyone tell me!!
"Head of the house, head of the house!" Seeing that Otomo Tianxiang was in a daze, the samurai leader who was guarding beside him, Honda Kamibei hurriedly pulled Otomo Tianxiang's arm, pointed to the bottom of the hill and said, "Family master, you can't hesitate any longer, give an order!" ”
"Oh, yes, yes, get out, get out." After speaking, he immediately turned around and ran, it was surrounded by 20,000 people, looking at the murderous appearance, Otomo Tianxiang had no doubt that the hundreds of samurai around him were also destined to deliver food.
It's definitely a meat bun and a dog that has no return!
Just ran out not far away, ran down the hill, and saw the fat figure who was still beside him just now, at this moment, the fat businessman was running at a speed that did not fit his body type, that dexterous movement, the corners of the mouth of Otomo Tianxiang twitched.
Baga, I didn't know how to call me when I ran away, and my conscience was greatly broken.
Panting and running down the mountain, he saw the men who stayed here to guard the horses, and quickly asked the samurai around him to help him get on the horse, and ran desperately towards Higo Castle.
The fat businessman has also been prepared, and has been following Otomo Tianxiang's side, no way, those hundreds of samurai can still play a role at the critical moment, although Otomo Tianxiang looks at him very unkindly, he can't care so much.
Cao Wenzhao did not order people to chase down those warriors and the escaped Dayou Tianxiang, Wang Xuan had mentioned the strength of these warriors before, in the absence of a special combat team by his side, try to use the army to besiege and shoot with bows and crossbows, otherwise, by these desperate guys rushed to the side, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
You can't do things like exchanging human lives for dog lives.
According to Wang Xuan's order, even if Cao Wenzhao felt that these so-called soldiers were simply a group of peasants who had just put down their hoes, they could not accept surrender, and they must be cut off with knives and swords, and all of them must be killed.
As for Yu Leyou, he won't care about these Japanese soldiers, his ancestor Yu Daxuan is a famous general who resisted the Japanese, and when it is passed on to his generation, he can have the opportunity to attack the Japanese country, and he feels that it is too late for glory, he needs the heads of these Japanese soldiers, cast a monument to the achievements of their Yu family, and let future generations know that he Yu Leyou is better than his ancestor Yu Daxuan, cross-sea expedition, slaughtering the city and destroying the country, great achievements, and surpassing the ancestors!
A small part of the 20,000 peasant soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom were scattered, and more than 15,000 people were killed!
"The corpses are buried on the spot, and the heads are cut off!" Cao Wenzhao gave an order, and in the evening, a head tower was erected in front of the gate of Feihou City, commonly known as 'Jingguan'!
Looking at the huge Jingguan, the seventy or eighty thousand people in the entire Higo City were all silent, even if there were dead people in the family, they suppressed their cries, for fear of reaching the ears of those murderous demon kings.
Although Higo City is the main city of the entire Higo country, the scale is not large, there are only two gates in front and back, 20,000 people are blocked, Higo City directly becomes a dead city, Otomo Tianxiang, who is kneeling in the city lord's mansion, looks constipated, looks at the people kneeling below, and asks in a low voice: "What should I do now, you are talking!" ”
"Swear to serve the master of the family!" Honda Kamibei smacked his head on the ground and made a thud.
"Yes, swear to serve the master of the family!"
"Live and die with your family!"
"......" Otomo Tianxiang's eyes closed fiercely, a rough breath erupted from his nostrils, and he scolded fiercely in his heart, "Death, death, you know that if you say death, you won't say anything else, what's the use of Lao Tzu asking for your life?" Can you save my Otomo? What a bunch of rubbish, rubbish! ”
Although he wanted to kick these wastes in his heart, but now that he was facing a life and death crisis, his brain was not broken, and he naturally knew that it was not the time to get angry with his subordinates, at this time, unity and morale were the most important, and he couldn't destroy them himself.
gritted his teeth and held back, and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and looked around at everyone, "It's so good, my Otomo clan has six hundred samurai, there is no loss, this is the foundation is still there, as for those soldiers, just go back and recruit again, in this way, I have a plan!" ”
Naturally, he can't count on others, so he can only turn to the military book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he has read, and after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he has been thinking about it, in the face of this absolute disadvantage, the slightest carelessness is the death of the whole family, so, how can we defeat the strong with the weak and fight a beautiful turnaround!
Picked up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again and quickly flipped through it, and suddenly, his eyes lit up!
This plan is very good, it is in line with the current situation, and it will definitely make those Ming troops at a loss!
Otomo Tianxiang told his plan again, which immediately caused the audience to applaud.
"The Lord's talent must have been given by Amaterasu, and he was able to come up with such a clever plan, which will definitely make those Ming soldiers unable to figure their heads!"
The tide of sycophants slapped towards Otomo Tianxiang, making him quite complacent, and even the shadow of today's defeat and loss has dissipated a lot, sure enough, it is still useful to read more, Otomo Tianxiang is very confirmed!
It's just that the fat man who escaped back sat in the corner, staring at Otomo Tianxiang dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind, this is definitely a big fool, you must get away from him quickly, tomorrow this fool is dead, you have to find a way back quickly, you can't let this guy be a pit!
Looking at the warm atmosphere of the scene, the fat man could also echo it, after all, he couldn't make any good suggestions, thinking about his behavior of running away first during the day, thinking about the face of Otomo Tianxiang later, if he didn't think about keeping himself as a Ming person, if it was useful, he would be hacked to death directly during the day, so, although he knew that this was an idea to send him to death, he didn't dare to put it forward, and he was afraid that he would die if he couldn't get over tonight!
The exaggerated flattery for a while, coupled with the physical strength and spirit consumed by escaping during the day, Otomo couldn't bear it, and besides, there was still a scene to be performed tomorrow, so he rested early.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, the fat man hurriedly returned to his home here, directly dismissed the servants of the Japanese state at home, and took a few henchmen to replace the service of the Japanese people and hid in other houses.
In his opinion, his identity is too sensitive, once discovered, he will definitely die, but it is not as good as an ordinary Japanese people, then Wang Xuan will not slaughter the city!
I'm not a flower girl, a fat man, and no one will keep an eye on him.
This calculation is not wrong, indeed, there is only a dead end for the identity to be exposed, but to be a common man of the Japanese country...... There is a good saying, blessing and misfortune are not a single line, but I am afraid that the end will not be as good as he imagined.
On the second day, the warm morning sun sprinkled on this land again, and the air was still full of fresh grass and trees, but today's freshness was somewhat mixed with a smell of rust, which smell came from the high 'Jingguan' in the open space outside the city, and the bloody atmosphere was still strong after a night.
After breakfast and resting for an hour, Cao Wenzhao gathered with the army, there was no decent defense in the city, if it wasn't for the fact that it was late yesterday, the army was not suitable for night battles, to prevent unnecessary losses, last night, you can kill into the city.
The army moved towards the city gate, until it came to a short distance from the city wall, and Cao Wenzhao saw the scene that made him stand on the spot.
At this moment, the gates of Higo Castle were wide open, and some fellows who did not know whether they were soldiers or farmers waved their brooms at the door to clear the road, but if you looked closely, you would find that these people's legs were a little trembling, and the broom had been scratching and pulling in one place, and had never moved anywhere, perhaps because they were afraid that their legs could no longer move.
Looking in from afar, the streets were deserted, only the leaves blown by the wind swirled in the streets, and they seemed to have a murderous atmosphere.
Above the city, a man in black with pigtails and shaved all around was kneeling at the head of the city, and in front of him was a low table, on which a stick of sandalwood was lit, and a lyre was horizontally crossed, and the man seemed to be playing on it intently.
On the left there is a young girl standing still with a katana in her hand, and on the right there is a young girl holding a wooden fish.
If you look closely, you will find that the man's fingers are far away from the strings, and at this moment there are large beads of sweat seeping out of his head, Otomo Tianxiang calculated everything, but forgot that he can't play the piano because he can't play the piano!!
A pot of fragrant tea that has already been cooled can best express his mood at the moment!
I silently prayed to the eight million gods in my heart, praying that the people below would quickly retreat thirty miles in fright, otherwise, if I got closer, I was afraid that the problem would be discovered.
"......" Cao Wenzhao.
"......" Yu Leyou.
"How do I feel familiar?" It took a long time for Cao Wenzhao to react, and he looked at Yu Leyou blankly and asked.
"It feels familiar, too!" Yu Leyou nodded in agreement.
"Empty City Plan!" The two said in unison, and then couldn't help but laugh weirdly.
After a long while, Cao Wenzhao suppressed his smile, rubbed his face and said, "Who can tell me what the situation is!" ”
