"My lord. The Han army sent envoys in. A young man walked in from outside, knelt down on one knee, and saluted respectfully.

Terashima Masanori glanced at the retainers, and they all sneered, knowing that they were here to persuade them to surrender.

After thinking for a moment, Terashima Masanori waved his hand and said, "Let people in." ”

"Yes." The little surname answered, stood up and turned to go down.

Soon after, a group of samurai escorted the Han envoy Yosuke Okita in from outside.

Yosuke Okita is twenty-three years old this year, born as a ronin, and his martial arts and knowledge are ordinary among the ronin. Therefore, after joining the Han army, he became a big soldier.

But he was very bold and wanted to climb up all the time. Knowing that he needed to persuade his ministers to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, he did not hesitate to accept this errand.

"The envoy of the King of Han, Yosuke Okita has seen Masanori-sama." After Yosuke Okita stood still, he bowed, and his attitude was very respectful.

"Hmm." Masanori Terashima snorted, and then went straight in, "I know the purpose of your visit. I refuse. ”

"Ugh." Yosuke Okita looked up and looked at Terashima Masanori in amazement. It's so refreshing? In that case, then why are you seeing me?

Wouldn't it be okay to just drive me away?

Yosuke Okita felt uneasy in his heart, but his duty was there. After calming down, he bowed to Terashima Masanori again and said, "Masanori-sama." This time, it was the King of Han himself who led the army, with a total of 30,000 troops. It's a surprise again. ”

"With the strength of the righteous adult, I'm afraid I can't resist it with all due respect."

"If the Han army enters the city, the Terashima family will be destroyed. Opposite. As long as the Lord Zhengzheng offers the city, the king of Han promises that he will be prosperous and rich, and he will enjoy it inexhaustibly. ”

As the party who persuaded to surrender, it is normal to intimidate first and then give a sweet date.

But Masanori Terashima is not a normal person. He didn't talk nonsense, he just said: "Whatever you say is useless." The reason why I saw you was only to cut off your head. ”

Let's talk about it. Masanoru Terashima raised his head and said sharply to the samurai who was escorting Yosuke Okita in, "Chop off his head and throw him out of the city." ”

Then tell all the retainers, ronins, and soldiers. I have thoroughly angered Wu Nian. We don't have any way back. ”

"Either the city is broken and killed. Either defend the city and get the reward of the general of Zhengyi. ”

"Leave to die and come back to life."

When the retainers heard this, their hearts were awe-struck, and then they all raised their heads, very excited.

Yes.

If you don't leave yourself a way out, you can be united. The adoptive father's city is also the strength of a rock.

It is worthy of being [the famous general of Danma], [the fox of Danma], our Mingjun.

Masanori Terashima.

"Yes." The samurai who entered the room responded neatly, and rushed up to control Yosuke Okita.

Yosuke Okita's face turned pale. Although he knew that the mission was risky, when it came to this moment, he still felt fear.

However, he did not resist or beg for mercy, but shouted, "Lord Justice." Think again. The Terashima family is a famous family in Tajima Province, can you bear to let the family ruin? ”

"Lady Masanori."

"Ah!!!!!h

A scream rang out, and then the sound of persuasion stopped abruptly.

Not to be outdone, the Terashima army on the adoptive father's castle shouted, led by the samurai.

"As a samurai, it is an honor to die on the battlefield. Come on!!!!! ”

The samurai who slashed Yosuke Okita, took the bloody human head, walked quickly to the Sanmaru city wall, and then threw his hands forward, throwing the human head far away.

He shouted in Fusang language, "Han Jun listen. This is Yosuke Okita's head. The Terashima family is a retainer of the Shogun-sama. Never surrender to the Han Chinese. ”

"If you want to seize the adoptive father's city, you first asked about the knife in our hands."

Someone from the Han army stayed under the city and answered Okita Yosuke, and when he heard this, his face changed greatly, but he didn't say a word, picked up Okita Yosuke's head, and turned around to report back to Wu Nian.

Under the banner of the word "Han". Surrounded by Ouchi's guards, Wu Nian rode on his horse, looking down at Yosuke Okita's head with an expressionless face.

Fuso Qianhu, Hatata Takuma, known as "Human Beheading", knelt on one knee on the ground and lowered his head.

"The King. The messenger was killed. It's a shame. Ask the king to give us the order to attack the city. ”

Wu Nian didn't answer him, turned his head to look at Yosuke Okita's head, and asked, "Does this person have any family members?" ”

There are quite a few ronins who are alone.

"Please forgive the king, and the minister will ask." There are more soldiers under Hata Takuma, and although Yosuke Okita is his subordinate and knows him, he is not very clear about Yosuke Okita's family situation.

"No need. If he has a family, he will be treated as a flag officer. Wu Nian shook his head and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Takuma Hata clenched his fists and thanked him.

Wu Nian nodded, then looked up at Adoptive Father City. This mountain city has a good foothold on all sides, that is, it can be attacked from four directions.

But a mountain castle is a mountain castle, and the defense is very strong.

And the strength of the Terashima family is also very strong, although I don't know how many troops there are in the city now, but at least three or four thousand people.

The Han army had only five Fusang thousand households and six thousand people.

With such strength, it is unlikely that it will succeed in attacking Adoptive Father City.

But.

Since Terashima Masanori's attitude is so resolute, even if it is to wait for all the Han troops to besiege the adoptive father city. When the time comes, there is only one way to attack.

Case.

It's better to attack now. It is best to be able to attack it, and if you can't attack it, it can also consume the troops in the city.

"Leave a thousand households as a guard. The remaining four thousand households attacked the adoptive father city from four directions. Takuma Hatata. It's up to you to command. The city was broken, and the Terashima clan was slaughtered. Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he ordered.

Since Terashima's attitude is so resolute. Then he can't show weakness either. Moreover, it can also have the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

It will be of great benefit to the future attack on the territories of the daimyo of the Western Kingdom.

In simple terms.

Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish.

"Yes." Hatato Zhen's eyes were full of excitement, his face showed excitement, and he said yes loudly, and then he couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

"The king has an order. Besiege. ”

After Takuma Hatata returned to his own camp, he immediately turned on his horse and sent people to inform the rest of the thousand households, while organizing soldiers and starting the siege.

Meanwhile. Wu Nian's words during the military parade kept ringing in Hatata's mind.

In the Han army, as long as you have the ability, you can rise to the top.

King Han is fair and just.

If you accumulate meritorious deeds, you can become a garrison or a general. Even a marquis.

As a ronin, a ronin with outstanding ability, but wandering for many years, no one appreciates him. This is the deadliest temptation.

"For the sake of King Han." Takuma Hatata raised the Fuso gun in his hand and shouted with all his might.

"Knock knock."

"Woohoo."

The sound of the drum horn sounded deafeningly.
