In the expectant gaze of everyone, Long Tao's eyes opened, and the light of wisdom flashed in his clear and deep eyes, "After the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, let's go back and straighten out our subordinates, rest for the night, and tomorrow we will take the other two cities of Kaga in one go!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Murakami Takeshi frowned and said: "My lord, with all due respect, with our only more than 2,000 troops, the top priority should be to stabilize Tail Mountain Castle and keep the results of the battle!" ”

The implication is that 2,000 men and horses are simply not enough to occupy three cities.

Long Tao smiled lightly: "It's okay, a few days ago, I had already asked Wuchuan Changjian to bring six thousand Liukou from the mountains of Nagato, and we will arrive in Kaga in a few days, and then we will have enough manpower." Right now, we have to take advantage of Honganji's failure to react, and quickly take down their castle in one fell swoop and suppress the whole of Kaga! ”

Anzhai Dongkang persuaded: "My lord, there are still many captives and surrendered troops in Oyama City, if our army goes out of the city to fight, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city." ”

Long Tao's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and found that several ninja village leaders were expressionless, as if they had no objection to his order, while several naval leaders were all looking at him eagerly, hoping that he would change his mind.

This is the difference between ninjas and pirates, ninjas are strict in self-discipline and take obedience to the Lord's orders as their first priority, while pirates are mostly keen on fame and fortune, and for their own future status, they are more concerned about whether this newly created force can go further safely, so they have the courage to put forward their own suggestions.

"Hehe, the leader of the house doesn't have to worry." Long Tao smiled and said, "I have my own arrangements for this." ”

In the large square outside the temple, a large group of monks and soldiers stood densely, as well as dozens of young women, all of whom were Honganji disciples who were captured when the castle was broken.

There were nearly 1,000 monks and soldiers, and as Anzhai said, if there were not enough troops in the city to defend it, these people could take the city back.

"I know you're all staunch believers." Long Tao stood in front of the square and said loudly: "Our way of cherry blossoms is different from that of the Ichikozong, and we will not force the enemy to give up their faith. I've decided to let you go in peace, and you go! ”

The captives looked at each other and looked at Long Tao hesitantly.

Long Tao shouted again: "Leave quickly!" I'll give you two hours, and after two hours, I'll send an iron cannon team to patrol, and all the Honganji monks and soldiers within ten miles of Oyama Castle will be killed! ”

Seeing that his face suddenly turned cold, the captives no longer hesitated, and rushed to the city gate.

Murakami Takeshi was puzzled: "My lord, aren't you doing this to let the tiger return to the mountain?" And it will leak our set-up. ”

"I just want them to bring the news that I'm going to attack Komatsu Castle." Long Tao smiled slightly, "The order goes down, all the soldiers rest for two hours, and after two hours, leave five hundred iron artillery teams to defend the city, and the rest of the men and horses, all of them will go out to attack Xiaosong City!" ”

……

On a hillside five miles southeast of Komatsu City, Long Tao and his subordinates looked in the direction of Komatsu Castle, where torches were lined up and shouts could be faintly heard.

With Long Tao's eyesight, he could clearly see that the gate of Komatsu Castle was closed, and the defenders on the city wall were all nervous and dignified, looking at the enemy army under the city from afar, I don't know how many people there were, because it was in the dark night, I could only roughly judge from the number of torches, I am afraid that there were more than 3,000 people.

Of course, Long Tao didn't have such an army in his hands at all, these were all pretended by the more than 1,000 Cherry Blossom Dao believers, and the task given to them by Long Tao was to bluff as much as possible and cause the appearance of a large army overpowering.

His real troops, all lying quietly down the hillside, awaiting new orders.

"My lord, will the Great Sage Temple City definitely send reinforcements?" The young Kumano Navy leader Nine Ghost Yoshitaka asked.

Long Tao looked at this "pirate daimyo" in Japanese history, and said with a smile: "Komatsu Castle is the weakest castle of Honganji in Kaga, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the troops are insufficient, even if you add the group of captives I let go, at most there are more than 2,000 monks and soldiers, just looking at them now closed doors, looking like they are desperately defending to the end, obviously waiting for reinforcements outside the city, so I conclude that they have already asked for help from Daishoji Castle." ”

At this time, a agile figure suddenly appeared in front of Long Tao, and in the dark night, everyone didn't notice how he came, as if he came out of the shadows, only Long Tao already knew his whereabouts.

"Tibetans, what's the news?"

It was none other than the Sese Tibetans.

"Lord Hui, the reinforcements from the Great Sage Temple City are less than thirty miles away from here, and they will soon enter the ambush area you have set."

"How many are there?"

"There are a total of 5,000 garrisons in the Great Sage Temple City, and 4,000 reinforcements will be sent this time."

"Good." Long Tao said with a smile: "They almost poured out, it seems that they want to fight with the defenders of Xiaosong City inside and outside, and kill us by surprise." ”

When the leaders heard the news, they were all impressed when they saw that he was like a god.

Long Tao ordered: "The whole army is dispatched, go to the place we plan to ambush, and this time we must try to destroy the enemy as much as possible!" ”

Half an hour later, the battle took place in a narrow mountain pass, and after bombarding with iron cannons and rocks in turn, Long Tao rushed down with more than a thousand subordinates possessed by the "Wind Forest Volcano".

In order to completely annihilate the enemy, this time he also shot himself, "the art of clone", "the art of shadow" to create multiple doppelgangers to kill the Quartet, and his body used the "turn" move again and again, and the gorgeous sword light became a head harvester on the battlefield, and Kenzaburo was fascinated by it.

This devilish killing not only frightened the monks and soldiers of Honganji, but even the subordinates who fought side by side with him were all over the body, and a group of pirate leaders finally knew that the name of Long Tao's "ghost god" circulated among ninjas was not an exaggeration.

After the war, Long Tao ordered everyone to collect white scarves and linen white robes from the corpses of monks and soldiers, and changed them to themselves, and more than 1,000 people dressed as monks. Killed under Komatsu Castle.

The defenders in the city thought that the reinforcements had arrived, and went out of the city to attack the enemy as agreed, but they were slaughtered by Long Tao and his people, and took the opportunity to seize the city.

After a little repair in the city, Long Tao led people to continue to pretend to be monks and soldiers, rushed to the city of Dasheng Temple, and won the city gate with the appearance of a triumphant army, and easily took the last stronghold of Honganji Temple.

At this point, everyone admired his five-body battle method of using soldiers like a god.

Three cities in a day, although they were all small-scale battles, not enough to achieve Long Tao's name of "God of War", but in the hearts of these subordinates who followed him to fight for a day and a night, he already had the reality of the God of War.

Not only can he be in the battle array, like a ghost and god wielding a knife to slaughter, but also can strategize, clever plan to destroy the enemy, 2,000 troops in his hands, as if he has exerted the combat power of 10,000 people, such a person, how can he not dominate the world in the future?

Although everyone was physically exhausted, they were all high-spirited, and in their eyes, it seemed that Long Tao became a "man of the world".

After leaving 1,000 soldiers to defend the castle, Long Tao led everyone back to Oyama Castle, and although all the strongholds of Honganji Temple had been taken, there was still a long way to go to completely pacify the entire Kaga.
