In the mouths of the famous masters, Liu Shun interrogated a lot of useful information, because the soldiers of the expeditionary battalion were fast, and Gangshan Zhuang did not organize the corresponding forces to fight at all.

He thought that the invaders would enter the Kunicaka Plain from Aikawa and then fight north to the port of Ryotsu, so after fleeing from Aikawa, he immediately released the Wusu people and temporarily commanded them with his own retainers as officers, and ran all the way to Ryotsu.

He was about to extort some money from the townspeople of Ryotsu Port to capture the hearts of the Muyaku, but the townspeople's stinginess made him angry and ordered the Wuyaku to loot, which also shocked the peasants in the surrounding villages.

According to Okayama's plan, he would send the army of the Wusu people to Heyuan Tiancheng, and then repair the city, and let the surrounding villages provide manpower, livestock, and food, if the invaders took the initiative to attack, he would rely on the repaired city to defend, if not, he would build an army and collect food.

Sado has too many gold and silver mines, and there are populated cities like Aikawa, which are very dependent on Honshu for food.

However, the speed of the expeditionary battalion made him have no time to deal with it, and the heavy army that was attacked was the first batch of food gathered in Okayama Village.

Liu Shun ordered the expeditionary battalion to rest in the camp for a day, and after night fell and the weather cooled, they advanced along Lake Kamo and went straight to Heyuantian Castle, and he deployed his armor in the front line, hoping to lure the enemy into an ambush and then fight the enemy in the wilderness, but this idea did not happen.

In fact, Okayamaso was ignorant of the expeditionary battalion's disembarkation at Ryotsu Port and the ambush that took place on the shores of Lake Kamo, and it was not until the spears of the expeditionary battalion soldiers appeared on the horizon that Kawagentajo finally reacted.

A ruined city appeared in front of the expeditionary soldiers, and the Japanese-style castle tower had completely collapsed, leaving only a stone wall around it. Many of these stone walls have collapsed, and Okayamao's men are making fences out of felled trees to plug the gaps, but the work has been going on for less than two days, and all the efforts are not worth mentioning for this ruined city that has been eroded by wind, frost, snow and rain for hundreds of years.

According to Liu Shun's order, Haruki launched a surprise attack at the first time, holding a spear and wearing thick armor, the righteous cong line array hit a huge gap, but because there were no ladders and other equipment, so it could not be boarded, at the gap, and the defenders had some fighting, cut seven or eight heads, and retreated.

Haruki pulled out a stubby arrow from himself, but there was no blood on the arrow, Liu Shun walked over and asked, "You are injured." ”

"No, the arrow is stuck in the gap in the armor." Haruki smiled and shook his head: "I saw in the gap that they only have seven or eight archers, and they use a very large and long bow like Matsushita Tomiaki, which is not very powerful, it can't penetrate the two layers of armor of our armor, and the archery skills are not very good."

There may have been a few firearms, but I only heard the sound, not what it was. Obviously, there is nothing decent on this remote island. ”

Liu Shun nodded, he was watching the battle under the city, he had seen everything, and the most powerful weapon of the defenders was hot boiling water.

"We can make a few big signs, push those two bronze cannons to that position, and we can smash the broken city gate made of their fence, and the soldiers and I can rush directly into it." Dealing with such a group of people, Haruki is obviously very sure.

But Liu Shun shook his head: "Our soldiers have not rested since they set off from Wudao, and now they are very tired, the enemy has no food, and even the wood for repairing the city has to be taken outside the city, so there is no need to attack at all." Let the other person feel hungry first, and then clean them up. ”

Liu Shun didn't want to use the two copper cannons, because when he set off from Liangjin Port, all the materials had to be carried by people, and the two copper cannons each carried twenty shells, which were not necessary, and Liu Shun didn't want to consume them.

Haruki said, "Okay, I just saw fresh horse manure under the castle, and I think there should be a few horses in it." I immediately arranged for the auxiliaries to create some rejection horses, as long as they were placed at these two intersections, with the help of the lake behind and this muddy field, no one would be able to escape. ”

"Okay, that's it, everyone can take turns to rest."

Two nights later.

The crow let out an unusual scream, and the cry of a woman came and went, Okayamaso carried a bamboo tube filled with cold water, and when he looked up, he saw that the crow was hovering under the moon, and the shadow of the city wall shrouded too much sin and unbearableness under the black duck.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." There was a rush of footsteps, and by the moonlight, Okayama saw his little surname.

"Alain, what's wrong?" Okayamaso asked, "Is there a fight for food?" ”

In the afternoon, the hungry people killed the three remaining horses and mules for meat, because there was no firewood in the city, and many people ate the meat of the horses, and even then there was a fight, and the warriors of the warriors fought with each other and the filthy people in the mud for a piece of meat, like a herd of wild boars.

The little surname said in a low voice: "Your Highness, when I was inspecting, I found that there were no people in the gap. ”

"Are people starting to run away?" Okayama put down the bamboo tube and sat on the bluestone, which he had expected.

But the little surname shook his head and said, "No, I saw someone coming back from outside the city, he smelled of wine on his body, obviously, he came back from the enemy camp and was entertained. ”

Okayama Zhuang's eyes widened, and he let out a cry of panic, obviously, the Wusu was negotiating terms with the enemy, even if he thought about it with his ass, he could guess that the conditions must include his own head.

Okayama Village was silent, and the little surname asked, "Is it the last moment, Your Highness?" ”

"Yes, Alain, it's the Sleepless who will kill us." Okayama said.

The night crows are quacking, and on this night full of dangers, the music of death is played.

"Alain, are you afraid of death?" Okayama asked.

"I ...... I obey Your Highness in everything. Alain bowed his head and knelt in front of Okayama.

"But who can I listen to, Alain." Okayama's voice was a little more miserable.

"Maybe you should listen to your heart." Alain whispered.

When Okayama heard this, he suddenly clenched his fists and said, "But I want to live." ”

"Then you should live and do your best for this goal." Alan seems to be very satisfied with this answer, if Okayama Zhuang can survive, then he has a surname, why can't he?

Okayama nodded slightly and said, "Alain, you take off your clothes." ”

Half an hour later, Okayama appeared in front of Liu Shun, and the sentry of Chezhi Dan said: "My lord, this person claims to be a retainer of Okayama Villa, and he has come to negotiate on behalf of Okayama Villa. ”

"Hehe, as soon as the representative of the no-lodging people left, the representative of Okayama Village came, which is really interesting." Liu Shun said to Gangshanzhuang: "You raise your head and tell me what your master is going to do." ”

Okayamaso said, "Your Highness wants to find a way to live for yourself and your subordinate samurai, can you save your life by sacrificing Heyuan Tiancheng?" ”

Liu Shun's hand knocked on the table boringly, and said unceremoniously: "Heyuan Tiancheng is not valuable, the people without accommodation are not soldiers, there is no loyalty at all, they sent people to ask me, how much is the head of Gangshan Villa worth, they want a thousand taels, as long as I loosen my mouth, Gangshan Villa and this city are mine." ”

"Yes, the general of the kingdom." Okayamaso half-knelt on the ground and said, "You are right, you can easily take Heyuan Tiancheng, but you can't easily take Sado, there are fifty-five gold mountains here, and there are more than one hundred and twenty villages and towns.

If Your Highness is willing to cooperate with the army of the Upper Kingdom, Sado is yours. ”

"Is Okayama Villa willing, if he is willing, let him open the city gate at dawn." Liu Shun said lightly.

Okayamaso said, "So, you agreed, didn't you?" I think the Okayama family will be very happy, and I hope that the general will give a promise that everyone can trust. ”

"What promise do you want, a letter, a token or a hostage or something?" Liu Shun laughed out loud: "I tell you, there are none, you can only hope for the credibility and mind of our sovereign."

At this moment, for the sake of profit, I spare your lives on behalf of him, it does not mean that you will survive in the future, if you can't serve sincerely in the future, you will definitely be punished. ”

Gangshanzhuang did not feel annoyed by Liu Shun's words, but felt that what Liu Shun said was truly sincere, and there was no half-falsehood.

Okayama suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, spread his hands and said, "General, I am Okayamao." ”

"Really?" Liu Shun nodded slightly, and looked at Gangshan Village carefully: "You are a bold person, and your ability is also good." ”

"So...... What's next? Seeing that Liu Shun only praised himself for a few words, Gangshanzhuang didn't have any follow-up and took the initiative to ask.

Liu Shun frowned: "I didn't know what I said just now, you go back, open the city gate before dawn, and lead the army into the city, it's as simple as that." ”

Okayama thought that it would make a difference if he showed his identity, or let the other party be exposed, or get more preferential treatment, but he didn't expect that all the treatment would be the same as always.

The next morning, the Sleepless looked at the open gates, feeling a little confused, and soon fell into infighting.

They thought that one of them had made a deal with the army outside the city and betrayed him, so when the expeditionary camp entered the city, it was difficult to kill them.

After a volley of muskets, all the living people were taken to the open space in the city, and in addition to the fugitives and infighting, nearly 300 people died. In addition, Liu Shun also rescued more than 700 captive women and strong men.

"Kill them all, cut off their heads." Liu Shun pointed to the unhoused people in the open space in the city and gave an order.

Immediately a dozen lit grenades were thrown down, and then the muskets rang out, and the homeless men were shot one by one like pigs trapped in a pigsty, and then the armoured soldiers entered, stabbing them one by one, and then cutting off their heads.

"I know that you are all the people of Ryotsu Port, who have been taken captive as slaves by this group of demonic no-lodges, and now, I have avenged you. You can go home, Okayama has surrendered, and no one will bully and slaughter you in the future.

Go back, go back and bury your family's corpses and start a new life. Liu Shun said to the trembling refugees.

After learning what Liu Shun meant from Chezhidan, everyone cried, and some people shouted hoarsely, wanting to kill Gangshan Villa.

Okayamaso and his men hid in a large courtyard in the city, uneasy. But in the end, no one actually rushed in to kill them, and the refugees supported each other and returned to their hometown of Liangjin Port.

"Okayama, let your men come out and hand over all the armor, bows and arrows, and firearms, and you can keep your sabers." Kiritan shouted to the courtyard, and Okayamaso quickly brought people out and handed over the ordnance that should not be in possession as instructed.

At this moment, he believed that Liu Shun would not kill himself and his subordinates, and if he could, he should have done it just now with the anger of the people.
