Chapter 576: Attacking the Daimyo's Mansion
Seeing the samurai who shouted and rushed over, his ragged clothes seemed to have experienced a fire, and hearing the words of the samurai shouting in horror, Takeda Gengoro suddenly felt that his whole person seemed to collapse, knowing that what Lucius said before had become a compli.
Gengoro Takeda looked at Lucius in horror, and couldn't help but tremble in a low voice and said, "You, you, you're a devil, you're a devil." ”
Facing the other party's panicked curse, Lucius stretched out his hand disappreciatively, wiped the blood from Takeda Gengoro's face, and said with a smile: "I can blame them for their deaths, but you have to blame you, if you hadn't stopped them, they would have surrendered to me, and naturally they wouldn't have died." ”
Gengoro Takeda wanted to argue, but Lucius didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said: "Actually, most of the people in power, especially those who hold a lot of power like you, often don't really care about the life or death of their subordinates, all you care about is the number of subordinates and how much benefit the rest of them can continue to bring to you." ”
"Aren't you looking for profit? If you're not doing it for profit, why did you come all the way to Fuso?"
Faced with Takeda Gengoro's questioning, Lucius smiled calmly and said: "I, of course, am also for profit, but I am seeking more long-term interests, and I need the people around me to live." ”
"What's more, if you say that I am the devil, do you mean that if I don't beat you all to the bottom with strong force, if I am not strong enough today, will you let go of the people in the village lightly?"
Lucius's questioning immediately made Takeda Gengoro speechless, and he knew very well in his heart that if they succeeded in attacking the village today, whether they could get money from Lucius or not, then the village would be destroyed, and as for the villagers in the village, even if they did not die, they would be used as slaves of the Takeda family.
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, Lucius suddenly raised his hand and slapped Takeda Gengoro. He said angrily: "If you treat you who want to oppress even the people under your own rule, you should be killed completely." ”
Gengoro Takeda, who shrugged his head, didn't argue anymore, or he didn't have the face to argue about anything at all, especially in front of the samurai who had survived the aftermath with him.
Seeing that Takeda Gengoro pulled his head and didn't speak, Lucius continued: "Don't worry, I won't kill you now, I will let you see how the Takeda family in your mouth was finally subverted by me." ”
It was while Lucius was in the village that he was on a show of prowess after a few days of galloping. The army led by Caroline and others finally arrived at Chiba Castle, where the Takeda family daimyo mansion was located.
After arriving at Chiba Castle, when they entered the castle and saw the Takeda family's mansion, the people in charge of attacking the mansion all felt embarrassed.
The Takeda family's cooperative mansion is a sturdy stone town, and the distance between the inside and outside of the castle is very crowded due to the many houses inside and outside the castle.
Therefore, it is not easy for Caroline and them to enter Stone Town, especially Caroline and the others with red hair, their appearance is different from that of Fuso. I am afraid that they will soon be discovered when they enter the stone castle, and by that time, I am afraid that they have been besieged in the city by the elders of the Takeda family and their retainers before they enter the daimyo's mansion.
Stand outside Stone Town. Taiyuan Xuezhai looked at Caroline who was embarrassed and said, "Dear Miss, you also see that Chiba City is the reliance of the Takeda family, and we want to enter Chiba City. And it was very difficult to attack the Daimyo Mansion of the Takeda family. ”
Caroline said very unhappily, "Can you say something useful? We have already seen the situation here, and now what we have to do is to attack the Daning Mansion." So you hurry up and figure it out. ”
Oda Nobumitsu, on the other side, saw Taiyuan Xuezhai being reprimanded, and immediately hid to the side and snickered.
In fact, in Oda Nobumitsu's heart, he didn't think that they would be able to break through the stone castle in front of him, you must know that this stone castle was built by the Takeda family through several daimyos.
It can be said that the entire Chiba Castle has long been impregnable, and it has become a weapon used by the Takeda family to fight against the Tokugawa family during the war years.
The Tokugawa family tried to attack Chiba Castle more than once, but in the end almost all of them failed, and the Takeda family relied on Chiba Castle to successfully go through generations of shoguns, and always stood tall and dominated Chiba Prefecture near the sea.
It's just that Chiba City is not without flaws, and this flaw is used by Oda Nobumitsu, Taiyuan Yukisai, and Soga Inamo, so they will lead a large number of ronin samurai who follow them, lurking in Chiba Prefecture and waiting for an opportunity.
But now, when Caroline and the others face Chiba Castle, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai almost unanimously choose to hide that flaw.
In the eyes of the two of them, this time Lucius had already said that as long as they contributed the most, then when they took the Daimyo Mansion in Chiba City, they would hand over that Daimyo Mansion to whoever they wanted, which was equivalent to giving them the opportunity to become Daimyo.
Therefore, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai do not plan to say it in advance, and plan to say it at a critical moment as a symbol of their contribution.
wants to exchange this for the opportunity to become the new daimyo of Chiba Prefecture, which is also the highlight of the open and secret battle between Taiyuan Yukisai and Oda Nobumitsu.
In fact, Caroline and they don't need the so-called flaws, because Stone Town is not taken to their hearts at all, you must know that the mechanical army composed of mechanical soldiers is dispatched, and the seemingly solid stone in front of them is like paper paste.
Caroline originally planned to give Taiyuan Xuesai and Oda Nobumitsu a chance, but seeing that the two didn't seem to appreciate it, she no longer counted on the two of them, leaving aside the two of them and Du Liniang and others to get together to discuss countermeasures.
Oda Nobumitsu secretly found Taiyuan Xuezhai and sneered: "I really can't imagine that the guy who swore allegiance to the Lord before, but now he hides the flaws in Chiba Castle and doesn't say anything?"
In the face of Oda Nobumitsu's ridicule, Taiyuan Xuezhai smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Hehe, Oda-kun, didn't you say the flaw either?"
Oda Nobumitsu also responded with a smile on his face: "Since you and I both know each other, and we haven't said it, then it's up to us to see which of us can seize the opportunity." ”
Taiyuan Xuezhai did not show weakness: "Okay, since Oda Jun has this Yaxing, then Taiyuan Xuezhai should be accompanied to the end." ”
In the eyes of Taiyuan Xuezhai and Oda Nobumitsu, everything is under the control of the two of them, and the two of them have almost completely mastered the situation, and they must be able to finally achieve their goals, the only obstacle is the other party, and both of them have ways to defeat each other in their hearts.
It's just that the two of them don't know that the information they really think is secret has actually been heard and seen by Caroline and others all the time.
Caroline said to Du Liniang with some annoyance: "Auntie, these two guys are obviously two bastards, no, I'm going to teach them some lessons." ”
Du Liniang stopped Caroline and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, people are always selfish, as if we still spy on them? Besides, knowing their plans, we will also think of ways to crack them." ”
Caroline didn't continue to be angry, but Modes, who had been silent before, asked, "So what should we do next?"
Without waiting for Caroline to answer, Christine pushed her glasses and replied first: "Next, we must send out the army led by those two guys, we can't let them attack the city with us, we must let them stop those elders and retainers outside the city." ”
Caroline took over and continued: "According to the previous plan of Lucius, let those ronin warriors consume some in the war. ”
Qi Li'er asked timidly: "Speaking of which, don't we care about the life or death of those Fusang ronin?"
Du Liniang then explained: "Yes, there are too many ronin samurai at the moment, don't you see that there are too many troops under the command of Taiyuan Xuezhai and Oda Nobumitsu, and Lucius doesn't want to become the second emperor, and in the end even he will be controlled by others." ”
Caroline was obviously still a little unhappy with Qilier, so she didn't continue to say more, but said to everyone indifferently: "Okay, then everyone go and prepare, and Beludi will also mobilize the mech." ”
Hearing this, Belletti stood up and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you can rest assured, when needed, the mechanical warriors will set off immediately." ”
After waiting outside Chiba Castle for a few more days, gradually Taiyuan Yukisai and Oda Nobumitsu began to get a little anxious.
The two vaguely felt that the opportunity they had prepared for a long time was passing through their fingers little by little with time.
Finally, Taiyuan Xuezhai couldn't bear it anymore, and planned to take the initiative to find Caroline, confess to Caroline what he knew about Chiba City's broken moves, and ask the other party for credit.
But before Taiyuan Yukisai took the initiative to propose a flaw, Caroline's task had been issued, ordering Taiyuan Yukisai and Oda Nobumitsu not to participate in the siege battle, but to immediately arrive at the designated place, preparing to block the elders and retainers of the Takeda family who rushed to the aid of Chiba Castle.
After receiving a sudden order, Taiyuan Xuezhai was definitely a little inexplicable, and I didn't know what to do?
The mechanical warrior who asked the herald was a little puzzled, but the latter responded very directly: "Please carry out the order, you have no right to ask any questions." ”
After that, the mechanical warrior turned around and left, Taiyuan Xuezhai looked at the back of the mechanical warrior leaving, and instantly felt a little confused, not knowing what to do?
As soon as Tahara Yukisai and Oda Nobumitsu had led their samurai to the designated location, Caroline immediately ordered a full-scale siege of the city, and the mechanical warriors rushed towards the stone-filled city like a tidal wave.
Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was standing on the high slope in the distance, looked at the past from afar, and was dumbfounded by the way, and couldn't believe that Caroline actually gave the order to attack directly, without even talking superfluous nonsense, let alone notifying anyone in that stone city.
