Chapter 177: Take down the Yamana clan

Li Qing nodded: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and you must completely take this city before the Hosokawa clan comes to attack!" ”

Saburo Inoue hesitated: "Great God, since the ultimate goal of the Hosokawa clan is this big city, will they still help us drag those people outside the city?" ”

"Yes." Li Qing said with a smile: "For them, fighting outside the city is far easier than letting the Yamana clan enter the city and defend the city. ”

Saburo Inoue scratched his head: "What if Hosokawa Toyohisa doesn't realize the stakes?" ”

Rest assured, he's smarter than you...... Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "I said yes, and he will." ”

"Okay." Saburo Inoue was no longer entangled and asked, "After the wall is built, the city will be attacked?" ”

"Don't attack, let them come out and fight us!" Li Qingdao said, "You take people all the way to rob, remember, only rob the rich, and the civilians forget it." ”

"I'm good at this." Saburo Inoue grinned, "And then?" ”

Li Qing said: "No, the rich families in the city are also the wealth of the Yamana clan, they will not sit idly by and watch us loot them, after all, in their opinion, reinforcements are also coming." ”

"That's right." Saburo Inoue nodded slowly, "Then I'll grab it first?" ”

"Go ahead." Li Qing bowed his head and advised: "Be optimistic about the warriors, only grab money, don't see a woman and can't walk, take the main city and have anything, don't be greedy for a momentary enjoyment." ”

"Yes!"

Inoue Saburo bowed down and said yes, and hurriedly got off the city.

Li Qing stood at the head of the city, looked into the distance and whispered to himself: "The entire army of the Hosokawa clan is coming to the city, at least it will take half a month, it should be enough to arrange, but I don't know when those warriors of the Yamana clan will come back to help, and whether Hosokawa Toyohisa will follow......"

This decision was risky, but as long as you withstood the pressure, the gains were huge.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also in danger!

Although it is said that it is nine times out of ten, if it is lost, it will be lost, and it is a big deal to start again.

Li Qing made a preparatory plan, and the wealth scavenged by the craftsman Murakami was enough for him to make a comeback.

For the sake of safety, Li Qing chose a hidden mountain for him to settle on the way to come, which was to leave a way back for himself.

However, Li Qing still wanted to take the city, he didn't want to make a comeback, it would be too much of a waste of time and not in line with his benefits.

As Li Qing expected, on the third day of the sackage of Saburo Inoue, the Yamana clan couldn't sit still, these rich people were regarded as private property, how could they sit back and watch being robbed by outsiders?

The Hosokawa clan robbed outside the city, Li Qing robbed inside the city, Rao is Yamana clan's family has a big business, and he can't resist such a robbery!

There is no choice but to fight!

The Yamana clan is not very panicked, in their opinion, it has only been these two days since the samurai from outside the city have returned, there is no need to be afraid anymore, besides, they still have more than 4,000 samurai after all, they are really desperate, and they may not be invincible.

So they went out of the city.

When Li Qing heard the news of the spies, he asked Saburo Inoue to speed up the robbery, giving the Yamana clan a feeling that he felt invincible, wanted to grab a big wave, and then ran away.

On the surface, Li Qing's two or three thousand people can't eat the Shanming family no matter what, and this move is reasonable.

Seeing this, the Yamana clan suddenly became emboldened, and picked up the guy and poured out of the nest.

vowed to drive Li Qing out.

As everyone knows, it is exactly what Li Qing wants.

The battle between the two sides started again, the difference is that before 2000 against 5000, now 3000 against 4000+.

Less than two quarters of an hour after the battle began, the Yamana clan calmed down, and he couldn't fight, he really couldn't fight.

However, this time, Li Qing didn't give them time to retreat, and as soon as the battle began, he personally led the cavalry detachment to rush all the way behind him, and then rushed in reverse.

Don't give it a chance!

Unable to withdraw, unable to fight and defeat, the morale of the Yamana clan became lower and lower, and finally, after losing more than 1,000 people, it completely collapsed.

They didn't care about it, they scattered and fled, and Yamana Masatoyo, the son of Yamana Toyo, shouted in his throat, and he couldn't maintain the situation.

In the end, only hundreds of henchmen, dead soldiers, and other people fought to the death, and the result was naturally obvious, and they were easily wiped out.

However, Yamana Masatoyo was also tough, refused to surrender, and committed suicide by seppuku.

After this battle, Li Qing's fighting strength was less than two thousand and five, and he was also short of soldiers.

But Li Qing only took a short rest, and then marched to the inner city, in the process, he encountered another force, Yamana Toyoshi's second son, Yamana Toyohisa, with his family, dead soldiers, and hundreds of people came to fight for their lives.

It was another battle, Li Qing personally went into battle, but he inevitably lost hundreds of warriors.

At this time, Li Qing's fighting power was only 2300+.

Li Qing didn't dare to be careless, and immediately began to post notices to appease people's hearts, and asked Inoue Saburo to return all the money he had robbed before.

Otherwise, this big city would collectively resist, and he would have to move his nest without the Hosokawa clan's soldiers coming to the city.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and Li Qing can only lower his posture first.

Fortunately, the wealth of the Yamana family is amazing enough, and it only cost less than thirty percent after the heavy reward and heavy pension, so there is no need to worry about money and food at all.

After the heavy reward, Li Qing promoted all the warriors, the worst were promoted to the seventh-level warrior, and the most primitive backbone had come to the third-level warrior.

Although this will raise military spending, Li Qing can't take care of it, and at the moment of the great enemy, where can he take care of the distressed money.

Besides, he didn't come for money.

After doing this, Li Qing began to recruit samurai again, and when he came up, he offered the treatment of a ninth-level samurai, he posted notices everywhere, and made the benefits of samurai promotion public.

In just a few days, nearly 1,000 people came to take refuge, most of them were the defeated Yamana old tribe.

For these people, Li Qing behaved quite tolerantly, did not care about the previous hostilities, and gave them additional support, and directly included them in the samurai formation, and promoted one step faster.

However, in order to maintain the superiority and self-motivation of the descendants, Li Qing did not separate them from the descendants, so as to prevent these people from taking advantage of the descendants of the samurai.

After another three days, the total number of recruits reached as high as 2,000.

At this point, Li Qing finally had a spectrum in his heart.

4000+vs10000+

The disparity is not very large, and he is the one who guards the city, Li Qingyi is not afraid.

Another day later, Saburo Inoue galloped to report that thousands of the Yamana clan were armed to the castle, and Hosokawa Toyohisa also brought thousands of samurai to kill.

The total number of people is nearly 10,000!

This does not include the follow-up armament of the Hosokawa clan, if you really want to calculate it, the armed forces faced by Li Qing are not less than fifteen thousand.

The difference in strength is nearly four times, which is still very different, and the city here is far from being comparable with the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Ming Border Pass.

If you attack a city, you can do it more than twice.

It's really ...... The city here is small and weak, and there are not many people standing in the city.

Moreover, a top force like the Hosokawa clan has artillery, although the power is almost and the range is shorter, but it is also artillery, and it can also play a miraculous effect in siege warfare.

Li Qing came to the city, looked at the black pressure of the samurai, and couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.

Of the 4000+ in his hand, only more than 2,000 can really be trusted, and the rest cannot be trusted.

"Your Excellency Toyohisa Hosokawa." Li Qing's breath was melodious, and his clear voice fell on everyone's ears, "We should work together inside and outside, and we have won the Yamana clan, why don't we catch it all and never suffer in the future?" ”

Hosokawa Toyohisa sneered and shouted: "Although the Hosokawa clan and the Yamana clan have a holiday, they both belong to the same clan, and they are both shoguns, you?" But an outsider, don't think we can kill each other. ”

The two sides that were still fighting before, but now they have united the front, which fully confirms the sentence: there are no eternal friends and no enemies, only eternal interests.

He was shocked, he never expected Li Qing to really succeed, and at the same time, his fear of Li Qing was even deeper.

This kind of character, if it is really allowed to gain a foothold, it will be a nightmare for the Hosokawa clan.

Must be strangled!

Li Qing was helpless: "Isn't it your idea to attack the Yamana clan?" ”

"I just wanted to borrow some money from a friend of the Yamana clan to spend it, who let you attack the city?" Hosokawa Toyohisa was quite shameless and snorted, "Now, I want to get justice for the brother of the Yamana clan." ”

Li Qing: "......"

He looked at the chief general of the Yamana clan and sneered: "Do you believe what he says?" ”

Do I have a choice...... The lord shouted in an urn: "Less nonsense, where is the head of our family, Yamanama Masato? ”

Li Qing touched his nose, seeing that this situation made him infighting, he simply said: "The other person is dead, if you want to fight, let's fight!" ”

With that, he suddenly opened his bow and shot at Hosokawa Toyohisa.

"Damn, the shot missed."

Li Qing's set of actions was too fast, and with his terrifying strength, the arrows were as fast as lightning, and it stands to reason that he should have shot Hosokawa Toyohisa with one arrow.

However, the material of this arrow is too poor, not standard at all, and as soon as the arrow leaves the string, the trajectory has shifted slightly.

When I got closer, it was already half a meter away.

But it was not without gains, Hosokawa Toyohisa was unharmed, but his deputy was pierced through the head by an arrow, and he died without humming.

Hosokawa Toyohisa's pupils couldn't help shrinking, he never expected that Li Qing could shoot and kill people from more than twenty zhang away, and his strength was so great.

He hurriedly lowered his body and shouted at the same time: "Siege! ”

"Damn ......" Li Qing scolded dirty: "Shoot arrows, throw stones!" ”

'Woo......oo

With such a dense position of the enemy, there is no need to aim at all, and it is over without brains, and efficient firing is the last word.

After seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, more than 200 people were killed and wounded, but the arrows were also exhausted, and then they had to hit people with stones.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Feeling the vibration of the city wall, Inoue Saburo swallowed his saliva and said, "Great God, can you fire the cannon?" ”

After attacking the Yamana family's mansion, two artillery pieces and dozens of shells were captured, which were pulled up to the city by Li Qing.

"Don't panic, wait." Li Qing said calmly: "They can't attack for a while, and we'll talk about it when the stones run out." ”

Looking back at the two cannons, Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly: Damn, this battle is really shabby......
