Chapter 177: Response
Wind capital!
Palace!
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it!!! ”
A fat middle-aged man who was five feet tall and about five feet long, and was dressed in a luxurious costume, Toru Kazama, the daimyo of the Land of Wind, was furious and wantonly destroyed all kinds of things around him.
Tables, chairs, plates... It's all the target of his sabotage!
"Crackling!"
After the slamming, there was basically nothing in the room he was in in good condition.
"Whew~"
It was only at this moment that he gasped for breath, staring at the thin old man in front of him who was wearing luxurious clothes, bowing down, with a serious face, but there was a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes, and roared, "My dear old Tsukamoto family! Tell me, you tell me, why? Why? Yes! Tens of thousands of troops have been killed in Saemon Castle, I just know? ”
"Is it that in the future, if you want someone to kill in the wind capital, to the palace, I will only know that there is an enemy when I am captured!!"
"This...."
Tsukamoto trembled, but he couldn't answer.
The way the army of the Great Chu State appeared was too sudden and weird, and he didn't understand how the other party appeared until now.
So, he really didn't know how to answer Toru Kazama's question.
"Whew~"
And looking at him like this, Toru Kazama could only take a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger first, and said, "Now, the soldiers and samurai of various castles will gather at Saemon Castle for me to block them!" ”
"Your Excellency... I'm afraid it won't work! ”
Tsukamoto, who had been trembling all the time, couldn't help but speak, "Other cities are too far away from Saemon Castle, and if the army wants to support it, it will take at least five days, and now according to intelligence, there are at least 70,000 troops outside Saemon Castle, and if the other party attacks with this number of troops, it will definitely not be able to hold it for five days!" ”
"Moreover, now that the opponent's army is blocking in front of Saemon Castle, the armies of other cities can't enter at all, and if you insist on approaching Saemon Castle, the final result can only be wiped out outside the city!"
"In the end, in addition to the 4,000 samurai and 20,000 ordinary soldiers in Saemon Castle, as well as the 2,000 samurai and 10,000 ordinary soldiers in the wind capital, the other more than ten cities under our control have a total of 2,000 samurai and 10,000 ordinary soldiers!"
"And this number of troops, still divided into more than ten cities, if there are fewer comes, it will not be able to play a role in support at all, if there are too many, the defense of more than ten cities under our control will drop to the extreme, and I am afraid that there will be problems at that time, so it is better not to let them come!"
Toru Kazama listened to Tsukamoto's words, and was a little annoyed by being denied, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that what he said made sense.
In the end, Toru Kazama could only stare at Tsukamoto and said, "Then what do you say you want to do?" ”
"According to the news just came, the other party not only has an army of more than 70,000 people, but it is likely that there are ninjas, if we want to deal with them, we must also consider this aspect!"
"So I think that on the one hand, we can transfer all the other forces in the royal capital to Saemon Castle to support after leaving 500 samurai and 2,000 soldiers!"
"On the other hand, we should send someone to contact the major ninja families in the Wind Country and ask for their support, and if necessary, we can pay a small resource price in exchange!" Tsukamoto thought about it and came up with such an idea.
He couldn't say that it was a brilliant idea, but it was definitely the safest choice.
At the moment, they don't know which side of the army outside Saemon Castle is, and they don't know what hole cards the other party has, and even the strength of the other party's army is not clear, in this case, it is naturally better to be safe!
If something happens, there is room for change.
"Let's do it!" After thinking about it for a while, Toru Kazama also decisively adopted his method.
Like, in movies and TV series, there are few brainless emperors who like to operate after all, as a daimyō, Toru Kazama doesn't say how smart he is, but he can stand out among the many heirs of the previous daimyo and become the new daimyō, he still has a bit of brains!
He knew that although Tsukamoto's current approach was not very wonderful, it was undoubtedly the safest, so he decisively chose to adopt it.
"Now that the other party's army is blocked outside Saemon Castle, it is definitely not possible to contact those ninja families in a normal way, I think we should let Uehara go!" Tsukamoto said again.
Uehara was the leader of the ninjas under the command of the Daimyo.
Well, although the main military force under the daimyo's command is samurai, this does not mean that there are no ninjas under his command.
In fact, there are ninjas under the command of the daimyo, but there are not many, and the strength of the ninjas is not too strong, and it cannot be compared with the ninjas of those ninja families.
But in general, there is no problem in delivering a message.
"So be it!"
Toru Kazama nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll personally write a few letters and ask him to send them to the big families of the Wind Clan, the Puppet Clan, and the Cloth Clan!" ”
---
At Toru Kazama's command, the whole wind moved.
"Da Da Da!"
Accompanied by dense footsteps, one by one, one by one, a column of ordinary soldiers, drove out towards the wind.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
"Aim Saemon Castle, move forward!"
"Keep up with the behind, don't lag behind!"
...
Among them, the officers urged the samurai and soldiers.
At this time, not far from them, a young merchant who was selling things in the name of a merchant of the Great Chu Kingdom looked at this scene, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he glanced at the work to the side.
The fellow received the look, glanced at the samurai and the soldiers, nodded understandingly, and quietly left.
"It's time to prepare to hide, otherwise when the other party finds out that the enemy is our Great Chu State, they will definitely come to search for us!" And as the man left, the merchant looked at the samurai and the soldiers, and muttered a sentence.
That's when it happened!
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the direction of the palace, and several guys dressed as ninjas hurriedly ran out and headed in the direction of the outside of the city, as if there was something urgent!
"Ninja... Hurried footsteps...", the young businessman muttered, a glint in his eyes and a thoughtful expression on his face.

Soon!
Li Kuan, who was outside Saemon Castle, received the news.
"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence officer's report, just now, they saw the scene of the Fengdu army's dispatch, and they didn't see how many of the specific dispatches, but it is estimated that it is about half of the Fengdu army!" Xue Rengui reported.
"Good!"
Li Kuan listened and smiled with satisfaction.
The current situation is basically according to his conjecture.
At this time, Xue Rengui reported again, "In addition, the intelligence officers also saw several ninjas running out of the palace in a hurry, as if they were going to do something!" ”
"A ninja scurrying out of the palace?"
Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, thinking about what was going on, and at the same time asked casually, "Rengui, what do you think?" ”
"I want to... The other party should be going to contact those ninja families! ”
After thinking about it, Xue Rengui groaned and said his opinion, "Just a few ninjas, obviously can't affect the battle situation of tens of thousands of people, in this case, the other party is still sent, then it is definitely not to support Saemon Castle!" ”
"Based on this, and although we didn't show the strength of the thermal weapon, with the military power we are showing now, it will not be easy for the Wind Country to defeat us, so I guess the other party may want to contact the ninja family!"
Li Kuan listened and nodded.
The idea was similar to his.
"If the other party wants to contact, just contact it, I've already contacted Liedou before, he will handle it on the ninja family's side, even if the other party contacts, there will be no result!"
Li Kuan said in a deep voice, "Now, our goal is to wait for the other party's support to come over and get rid of them in one fell swoop!" ”
"Understood!"
Xue Rengui nodded solemnly.
