Risky moves
"Although I know that the volunteers of our city are different from other places, but it depends on them is a bit too child's play, you must know that they are not a regular army after all, but just a group of fishermen with courage and skill, does His Royal Highness really think that they can achieve such success?" Unexpectedly, one of the people who raised an objection was actually Zhao Shoucheng, the Taishou of Tongbo City, although he was very proud that the courage he trained was praised by Mu Qingfeng, but he still had no bottom in his heart to take on such an important task.
"Don't be presumptuous, Lord Taishou, you must know that naval warfare is different from land warfare, the most important thing is boat skills and courage, everything else is secondary, and your righteousness and courage are best at this." Mu Qingfeng said the essence of the naval battle, which made Xue Lian'er on the side widen her eyes, but she was very clear that Mu Qingfeng had never fought a naval battle.
"I said nerd, where did you get your theory? Don't fool everyone? "In the public, the only one who can call Mu Qingfeng an idiot is that playful and cute snow lotus with amazing archery.
Seeing Xue Lian'er chattering like a curious baby, Mu Qingfeng's head was about to explode, so he had to say: "Auntie, where do you have so many problems, although I haven't fought a naval battle, it doesn't mean that I don't know the elements of naval warfare, when you were in Beiyan, you just thought about going out to eat, where do you know what I'm doing, to exaggerate, I have read all the information about the war in the Beiyang Palace, so I will understand such knowledge." ”
"Zhao Taishou, Prince Lu Wang, if we can inflict heavy losses on the enemy's troops, without the support of the Xuanjia Gate, how many days can you hold on?" Mu Qingfeng must ask this question clearly, otherwise Tongbo City will be busy in vain.
"If the current Japanese army is less than half, not to mention anything else, I can hold it for at least ten days and half a month!" Mrs. Zhao swore and patted his chest, judging from his past achievements, he was really not bragging.
"Well, in that case, I need you to give me about 800 volunteers. Don't let them participate in the defense of the city from this day on. I will let Commander Mu give them basic training to improve their overall quality, I wonder if there is a problem with Lord Taishou? Mu Qingfeng directly asked for someone, anyway, there was still a period of time before departure, and it was a good opportunity to sharpen his gun.
"No problem, I'll call someone to call the captain of the volunteers, and you can pick the personnel." Zhao Shoucheng was unequivocal, and directly called his own personal soldier captain over and asked him to go directly to the place where the volunteers were.
"Your Royal Highness, not to mention the results of the training of the righteous and brave, even the ships are not easy to get, most of the boats in Tongbo City are small boats, it is difficult to compete with some warships of the Japanese people, besides, now that there are so many Japanese people, can we really give them a huge blow?" Zhu Ceguo suddenly thought of the reinforcements that Gu Nian mentioned, and things were definitely not as simple as he thought.
"So the next step is the most crucial step, if we can't inflict heavy damage on the enemy's troops, all this is on paper, my plan below may be very risky, as for whether to adopt it or not, it depends on your decision."
After listening to Mu Qingfeng's idea, Zhao Shoucheng, who has always been known for his boldness, turned pale, not to mention Zhu Ceguo, who has never been in danger, but Mu Qingfeng's tactics are indeed bold, and at first glance it seems that he wants to give Tongbo City to others. As for the performance of the two of them, it had long been expected by Mu Qingfeng, he did not delay, and directly said the reason why he planned to do this, and finally, Mu Qingfeng said: "This is our only chance, besides, I really can't imagine that we still have a chance to win, if you want to give them a head-on blow, this is the only way to do it." ”
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Ceguo and Zhao Shoucheng glanced at each other, made up their minds, gritted their teeth, and said, "That's it!" ”
At this time, the camp of the Japanese people is extraordinarily quiet, although nothing can be seen on the outside, but the heavy figures indicate that there must be a bloody battle the next day, although it is a little late, but Takeda Hararo and Oda Mamura are still in the camp to discuss the matter of tomorrow's attack, in Takeda's eyes, get Oda Mamura's troops, Tongbo City must not be able to defend, he even secretly determined, tomorrow will not conquer this city will not withdraw troops.
"I said that it is not our forte to let my brothers fight on land, and tomorrow the city will be broken, remember your agreement, and I must let my soldiers relax, and I will take half of the treasure in the city." Oda Mamura swept away a pot of spirits, and said with a somewhat confused look in his eyes that his subordinates were actually a group of notorious pirates.
"Don't worry, I only need Tongbo City, as long as Tongbo City is in our hands, our army can get an unprecedented forward base, and when the time comes, maybe the entire Eastern Continent, no, the entire Great Xia will be ours!" Takeda Hararo didn't get drunk like Oda Mamura, he was more of a military man in comparison. However, it can also be seen that he has a very good relationship with Oda, otherwise he would have asked for half of the spoils before the battle was fought, and I am afraid that no one would be able to accept it.
After arranging the night duty and ensuring that nothing goes wrong, Takeda Hararo fell asleep shallowly, saying that the last time Mu Qingfeng led the team to raid the camp really left a huge shadow on him, and the city will be broken tomorrow, and there must be no accidents tonight.
When the next day dawned, Takeda Hararo rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent, and it seemed that the people of Tongbo City were frightened after a night of peace, and it was estimated that the news of the messenger would make many people lose confidence.
According to the past practice, after the formation was set up under the castle, Takeda Hararo still sent people to persuade him to surrender according to the previous rules, and it was just a walking process, but Takeda, who did not have any hope for this matter, actually found that after the people who persuaded him to surrender appeared, the people of Tongbo City actually did not release arrows to the outside world, did they plan to surrender?
Realizing that something was wrong, Takeda immediately focused his attention and stared at the people on the city wall, wanting to see how they answered, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a person wearing a civilian official uniform to appear on the city wall.
"Who is the commander of your widows, I am Zhao Shoucheng, the Taishou of this city, please come out and answer!" Zhao Shoucheng, who was dressed as a Confucian student, did not have the slightest appearance of killing enemies on the city wall, and anyone would think that this was a weak scholar.
Takeda Hararo flicked the reins of his horse and walked slowly to the city, of course, outside the range of bows and arrows, he was also afraid that the Xia people would capture the king first.
"Commander Takeda Hararo below, is there anything Your Excellency is looking for me?" Takeda Hararo shouted.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Shoucheng said: "What you just shouted is not a word!" If we do surrender, will you really spare our people? The expression on Zhao Taishou's face was very painful, and people who didn't know really thought that he was thinking about the safety of the residents.
Hearing Zhao Shoucheng's words, Takeda Hararo was simply ecstatic, he didn't expect that there would be such a turn for the better at this time, it would be better if he could take Tongbo City without blood, as for his promise, the most worthless thing in the Wa Kingdom is credibility, and those who pay attention to credibility are either in prison or on the Huangquan Road, especially those royal people in the Wa Kingdom. Besides, even if he can restrain his own troops, and those brutes in Oda Mamura, of course, this sentence must not be said.
"Lord Zhao, please rest assured, as long as you surrender, I promise in the name of our emperor that I will never hurt a person in your city, and according to your performance, we will also give you an extremely noble status as a widow!" Takeda Hararo is not a novice on the battlefield, so he simply believes in Zhao Shoucheng's words, after all, there is still such a thing as a fraudulent surrender.
"Since Lord Zhao has this intention, please put down your weapons and let us enter the city, as long as we enter the city, all my promises will be fulfilled." Takeda Hararo signaled his troops to prepare for an attack, and if something was wrong, they would launch an attack and forcibly attack the city. Anyway, I'm going to take Topbo City today anyway.
"Okay, since the general is a good word, then I won't be in the ink. I ordered to go down, open the gates, and surrender to the general, and ask the general to wait a moment. Zhao Shoucheng shouted at the city and disappeared into the city.
Takeda Hararo felt that his forces had an absolute advantage, so he was not afraid of any other problems, so he waited quietly under the city wall, and at this time, Oda Mamura, who had just woken up, came to his side.
"I said, Asura, how sure are you that their surrender will not be a delaying tactic?" Although Oda Mamura was physically and mentally cruel, it didn't mean that he didn't have brains, he first thought that this might be a fraudulent surrender, because Gu Nian this Flying Thunder Army refreshed his understanding of the Great Xia people.
"Don't worry, the news of King Lu's siege yesterday has been sent out, and it is normal for their hearts to fluctuate, if there is really fraud, we will attack it, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer, it's not a big deal." Takeda Hararo said calmly.
Just when the patience of Takeda Hararo and Oda Mamura had been exhausted, the gate of Tongbo City slowly opened, Takeda Hararo looked at it, there were about a thousand people kneeling in the city gate, they were all naked, some of them were wearing bandages, it seemed that they were the defenders of Tongbo City, the armor and military uniforms were thrown on the ground messily, more people couldn't lift their heads, they looked very humiliated, the only one wearing clothes Zhao Shoucheng looked at the city gate in a daze, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"I said Asura, it looks like they are playing for real, their clothes are taken off, the gate is open, now you have a lot of credit, by the way, after entering the city, I will kill all those who are wounded, because their hands must be stained with the blood of our Japanese warriors." Oda Mamura said with a smile, in his opinion, this is a matter of the end of the day.
"Okay, it's up to you to enter the city, but be restrained, don't kill all the inhabitants, we still have to count on them to work for us, I don't want to catch strong men everywhere." Seeing Natsuto's performance, Takeda Hararo also let down his vigilance.
"Everyone's idea, target Topbo City! Advance! With the order of Takeda Hararo, the Japanese army set off in a mighty way, at this time it was seen that the Japanese military aircraft was corrupted, obviously not yet to gain control of Tongbo City, the Japanese began to talk about how many Xia women they were going to play, how many old people and children they were going to kill, and even more people in the army actually sang the songs of the Japanese country, which caused the people around to laugh.
At this time, Zhao Shoucheng looked at the team of Japanese people, his palms were full of sweat, as long as he was not careful, what was waiting for Tongbo City was a hell from which he could never recover.
Originally, Takeda Hararo was supposed to enter the city, but due to the agreement with Oda Mamura, he said that he had the right of first choice for the spoils of war, so Oda took his troops to the front, and it was this exchange that saved Takeda Hararo's life.
