Chapter 314: Another Dimension
During Longtao's expedition to the west, a total of 18,000 troops were dispatched, and after conquering the Isshi, Shanming, and Nizi families, he collected and surrendered troops and recruited new troops, and the number of men and horses under his command had increased to 30,000. ~with~dream~small~say~ั~suimะตng~lฤ
An army of 30,000 gathered at Santoya Castle in Izumo Province, and Ryutao ordered Sanada Masayuki and Takenaka Hanbei to command 10,000 troops each to attack the Mori family's Yamabuki Castle, and as long as they took Yamabuki Castle, they would be able to completely control the entire Iwami Silver Mountain.
As soon as the Takenaka half-soldier came to command an army of 10,000, he was grateful and excited, and immediately strengthened his allegiance to Long Tao.
Half-guards in history,Most of the time is to stay by Hideyoshi's side,Advice,There are not many times when you can really lead the army alone,This person finally died of illness in the barracks,Lamenting that the samurai died on the battlefield is a well-deserved death,However,He also sighed during his serious illness,Said that he shouldn't have been born so smart,Because he's too smart,So he has been left by Hideyoshi's side as a military advisor.,No chance to lead the troops to gallop on the battlefield,It's the first regret in his life.ใ
It can be seen that the half-soldier is extremely eager to lead the army to fight and make meritorious contributions, and Long Tao met his wish as soon as he came up, which naturally made him grateful and swore to repay his kindness.
Yamabuki Castle is a heavy city of the Maori family, and the Maori family is relying on this city to suppress the Iwami Ginzan area, and the lord of the castle, Yoshikawa Motoharu, is the second son of the Maori Motosa, and is the first fierce general of the Maori family, and the battle is very brave, but this person's ability is under Masayuki and Hanbei, and the strength of 20,000 troops far exceeds the number of defenders, so as soon as the army arrives, Yamabuki Castle is immediately in a hurry.
Long Tao let the two of them surround and attack, and he quietly retreated from the front line and rushed to Hagi Castle.
Takekawa Nagaken has been secretly operating in Hagi Castle, and has already prepared 8,000 elites for Long Tao, Long Tao ordered Takekawa to go to Sandaoya Castle to take over the remaining 10,000 troops, and go to occupy Iwami Ginzan, while he himself took 8,000 elites to infiltrate the territory of the Maori family, crossed the mountains and mountains, and quietly approached the main city of the Maori family, Yoshida-gun.
As Long Tao expected, Yamabuki Castle asked for help from Yamashiro in Yoshida County, and Mori Moto personally led an army of 10,000 to the rescue, leaving only 2,000 defenders in the city.
Long Tao suddenly killed with an army of 8,000, and with the help of the ninja troops, the mountain castle of Yoshida County fell within an hour, and the remaining Maori Moto's third son, Kobayakawa Takakei, was captured alive and surrendered for Long Tao.
The main city fell, and the Maori family was greatly shaken, and the people were panicked and rumors spread.
Mori Motosashi's reinforcements had been fighting with Masayuki and Hanbei at this time, and they wanted to return to the division to recapture the mountain castle of Yoshida County, but they were afraid that the two would attack from behind, so in order to regain the disadvantage, they had to attack with Yoshikawa Motoharu inside and outside, eliminate the siege army, and then use Yamabuki Castle as the base to counterattack the mountain castle of Yoshida County.
Helplessly, Masayuki and Hanbei are both heroes of the Warring States, especially their military abilities are very good, and the two support each other, not only did they fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, but they repeatedly forced the Maori father and son into danger.
Long Tao sent Kobayakawa Takakei to persuade Mori Motosho to surrender, but Yuan did not obey, and ordered Yoshikawa Motoharu to abandon Yamabuki Castle, and the father and son retreated west to Masuda Castle.
Affected by the fall of the two large cities of the Mori family, Yamajo Castle and Yamabuki Castle in Yoshida Prefecture, the nearby Kozan Castle, Sato Ginzan Castle, and Mihara Castle surrendered one after another, and since then five of the nine main castles of the Mori family have been taken by Long Tao, and only four small castles of the Mori family are left in the west.
On the one hand, Long Tao sent additional defenders to the mountain castle of Yoshida County, and on the other hand, he ordered Masayuki and Hanbei to pursue Motoko, Motoharu and his son, and be sure to completely eliminate the Maori family as soon as possible.
At this time, Wuchuan Changjian had occupied Iwami Silver Mountain, and Long Tao personally went to inspect it, only to see that the mountain stretched very widely, but there were not many traces of mining, and the surrounding area was slightly desolate because it was often used as a battlefield.
"Arrange the garrison, set up the camp, and dig the mines, and when Lilu's craftsmen arrive, we can mine a lot of silver." Long Tao commanded.
"Yes!"
"Changjian, when I destroy the Maori family, I will give you all his territory, and then you will become the most powerful lord under me! Haha......"
"Thank you, my lord!" Wuchuan Changjian knelt and kowtowed, excited, years of hard work, finally had a harvest.
"However, when the time comes, you have to choose to build the city in this area, after all, this silver mountain is our top priority!"
"Yes! Rest assured, I will definitely help you take care of this silver mountain! โ
"Hehe, you don't have to be too nervous, this mine is at least enough for us to mine for decades or hundreds of years...... Well? โ
Long Tao's smile suddenly retracted, and Wu Chuan asked, "Lord, what's the matter?" โ
"It's okay, I'm going back to the city, and you're going to be stationed here these days."
"Yes!"
In the city lord's mansion, Long Tao sat cross-legged in the room, his face solemn.
When he was just in Iwami Ginzan, he suddenly noticed that the alien energy around him had increased a lot compared to before, this kind of energy was very familiar to him, he had been haunted by this kind of energy when he obtained the "Ninja Mysteries", which was the original power of this "Taiko" world.
The blessings of the Source Power have increased for him.
Long Tao realized that this change should be brought about by taking Iwami Silver Mountain, that is, after occupying the largest silver mine in Japan, his strength at this time has a decisive influence on the situation of the entire Warring States Struggle for Hegemony.
Of course, Long Tao's focus is not on the plot, with his momentum, it is only a matter of time before the plot is rewritten, and the impact of the extra source power on his body is concerned.
Sou!
Long Tao's figure suddenly disappeared, and the quiet room became empty.
Time and space change, Long Tao appeared in an elegant and simple room, on the low table put his seventh-level tea pot Songdao, a thousand birds incense burner, sandalwood curling, quiet and lonely, looking out from the window of the room, there are pine and bamboo, the landscape is picturesque.
This scene is the tea room created by the tea ceremony skill "Elegant and Lonely Heart", however, Long Tao did not invite anyone to eat the tea banquet at this time, and the reason why he was able to enter the tea room spontaneously was because of the power of the origin on his body.
After obtaining the "Ninja Mysteries Legend of the Ninja" last time, Long Tao faintly found that all kinds of secret rooms in this world seemed to be protected by an enchantment composed of a layer of origin power, but because the origin power on his body was too little at that time, it was not enough to support his detailed investigation, so he had to stop in the end.
After having more origin power this time, he finally found out where the tea room was, and he could enter it by himself without opening the tea party, and because his will was strengthened and his perception became more keen, he finally saw that this so-called tea room was a different space created by the power of the origin, and this space had its own divine power imprint, and it was because of this connection that he could open this different space when he had the idea of "opening a tea party" before.
Everyone in this world has divine powers, and they are different, so everyone can correspond to such a different space as their own exclusive tea room.
"This space feels no different from the outside world, people don't feel any discomfort in it, it seems to be exactly the same as the outside world, made of the power of the source." Long Tao closed his eyes and meditated in the tea room, carefully examining it with his divine will, "The power of the origin is too complex and profound, and with my ability at this time, I still can't understand how it constructs space. โ
Long Tao opened his eyes, exited the secret room, and returned to the quiet room of the City Lord's Mansion, although there was no change in the surroundings, his body clearly told him that a day had passed.
"What a magical alien space! As long as you go in, no matter how long you stay, the outside world will definitely be past a day when you come out again. โ
Long Tao frowned and pondered, "This is the effect of the different spaces of the original power such as the tea room and the secret room, and there is also a kind of different space that is synchronized with the time of the outside world, you should go there to see it!" โ
"Konoha Hidden Technique!"
Long Tao appeared in the different space of the Konoha Hidden Technique, and the energy in his body quickly flowed to supply the body's needs.
You can't breathe in this space!
After entering this space, the body must be allowed to enter a state of internal breathing similar to an innate realm in order to maintain the normal functioning of the body, which is one of the reasons why this ninjutsu has a time limit, and this space is not suitable for living beings to stay.
Of course, because Long Tao has a super physique, he can stay in this different space for a long time.
This space is completely corresponding to the outside world, and the distance of displacement in it, when it goes out, it corresponds to the displacement of multiple distances from the outside world.
After carefully investigating with the will of the gods, Long Tao finally found that this space was like a shadow world in the outside world, only blocked by a layer of energy membranes of the power of the source, as if an enchantment, clearly separating the two, and the seal of the "Konoha Hidden Technique" was precisely to open up this enchantment.
Most importantly, Long Tao discovered that this space is made of energy, which is why only ninjas who are proficient in the use of energy can open up this space.
For Long Tao, since he obtained the "Ninja Mysteries" and has "unlimited energy", the most important thing he lacks is energy.
Therefore, Long Tao stayed in the different space of the "Konoha Hidden Technique", while using his will and divine thoughts to check the construction composition of this space, and at the same time using his own energy to simulate this construction process over and over again.
With more source blessings, he finally discovered the mystery of a different space, and of course he had to try to create a personal space of his own.
