Tokugawa Keikatsu's heart was completely cold. Look at 1 Mao 2 lines 3 Chinese network Yesterday this swordsman came and went freely in the ten thousand armies, and even Tennoji Suzhen was difficult to defeat his thunderous blow, not to mention his own well-cultivated person.

He sighed and said, "Warrior, for my sake, allow me to commit suicide by disembowelment!"

Before Li Yan could reply, he suddenly heard someone in the forest drinking: "Think beautiful! Kojima, Kusaka, Irie, and Terashima were also seppuku deathseppuku?"

But seeing the three samurai side by side, it was Kojiro, Takasugi and Hayashi Shunsuke, who had just fought each other. Lin Junfu's eyes were cracked, and he shouted: "Dog thief, I should expose your body for three days to avenge Ikedaya's great revenge!"

He is the youngest, and his personality is the most excited, and his eyes are red as he talks.

Kojiro's face sank like water, and he suddenly asked Li Yandao: "Li Jun, what do you say should I do with this person?"

Li Yan said: "Let it go." ”

Lin Junfu and Takasugi said in unison: "Let it go?"

Only Kojiro said in a deep voice: "I agree with Li Jun and let this person go." ”

Takasugi said: "Kido-kun, although I don't approve of killing him, I also don't approve of letting this guy go. The main force of the shogunate has not yet arrived, and we should take him hostage!"

The muscles on Kojiro's face twitched a few times, and he said loudly, "I said let him go." Didn't you hear?"

Kojiro has a very high prestige in Choshu and has always been a good one. Seeing that he no longer refuted, Takasugi hated Tokugawa Keikatsu and said, "Get out!"

Qingsheng looked at the four of them, and only said to Li Yan: "This warrior, I won't thank them, but I only want to thank you." Even though you are an enemy, I will tell you one thing even if you risk the infamy of being a collaborator. My sixteenth brother Tokugawa Keitora personally led an army of 50,000 by land and water, and you have no chance of winning in Choshu. Listen to my advice and surrender. ”

Li Yan shook his head and made a gesture of please. Qingsheng shook his head and walked away.

When he was far away, Lin Junfu cried bitterly: "Kido-kun, aren't you revenge on your brothers?"

Kojiro firmly grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "Shunsuke, you are the youngest among us and the most hopeful, you must firmly remember my words: first, as a politician, you must not be emotional, all decisions should be repeatedly weighed against the pros and cons, and you must not be willful!"

Let me ask you, what will be the result of killing Keikatsu? Will the shogunate withdraw its troops? No, they will fight to the death with us even if they lose both sides in order to save face. If that's the case, does Choshu have a future? Besides, if Keikatsu dies in battle, who will the Tokugawa family send to be the vanguard?"

Lin Junfu said: "Most likely...... It's Qingyang, right?"

"That's right. Look at 1 wool 3 Chinese network Qingyang and his people are quite familiar with the art of war, and they don't know how much higher than Qingsheng in terms of soldiers. Do you want to face him on the battlefield, or face the honest man just now?"

Lin Junfu was already oozing sweat on his forehead: "Naturally, I want to fight Qingsheng more." ”

So I let him go. With his position in the Tokugawa family, it was not difficult to regain military power. When the time comes, won't our brothers be happy to see him beat him once?"

Lin Junfu nodded and said, "Kido-kun, I was wrong, I will definitely stop being rash next time!"

Kojiro turned to Li Yan and said, "Li Jun, I don't know if you are thinking the same as you are thinking about it?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No, I didn't think about it that much. There are no enemies in my eyes, only a crying white-haired old man, and that's it. I'm not going to do anything to that kind of person. ”

Kojiro was in awe: "Really benevolent!"

The Gao Shan, who was on the side, was silent, and Lin Junfu was unimpressed.

Kojiro didn't pay attention to their expressions, and said to himself: "I don't know if Keikatsu said that the main force of the shogunate is 50,000 people, I don't know if it's true or not......"

At this time, the spies came to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, the main force of the shogunate army is near, please go up to the castle tower and watch!"

Several people immediately returned to the city, stood in the white building and looked down, and immediately felt half cold. I saw smoke and dust billowing at the end of the sky, and the shogunate army lined up in hundreds of phalanxes, coming from the sky to the sky. The Tokugawa family's three-leaf aoi flag flutters in the wind, covering the sky and the sun. Looking at the posture, I can't wait to crush the little Ogijo.

Kojiro looked back at the tired master behind him, disheartened, and sighed, "The destiny of heaven is so inviolable. Forget it, you're all scattered, there's no need to die!"

Li Yan asked: "Brother Kojiro, don't you have to save Fusang Country, don't you need to save the world?"

Kojiro said: "You told me: do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." I've done my best, what else is there to say?"

Li Yan said: "No, you didn't do your best. Do you know the Battle of Chibi? Zhou Lang defeated the 830,000 Cao army with 50,000 sailors, what did he rely on?"

Kojiro said: "That's because Kong Ming borrowed the east wind ...... for him."

"What about the battle of Weishui, with 80,000 old and weak, sick and disabled to defeat 800,000 tiger and wolf army, how did Xie An do?"

"This ......" Although Kojiro is good at sinology, he can't help but be speechless when asked like this.

Li Yan said: "In my opinion, there is only one secret to their victory over the enemy. That's fighting. If you don't fight, if you don't take up arms, the tomorrow you look forward to will never come. Only by fighting can there be hope.

Ask yourself, did you do your best? No. You've been hand-picking your opponents, but you don't even dare to fight them when the real ones come. Is this the Kojiro who said to me in the middle of the boat, 'Taisei is still in the court'?

Look at your subordinates, they believe in you and give your life to you, not to see you as a coward, they want you to change the country, change the fate of the oppressed, are you worthy of them?

And I, Kojiro, I crossed the sea, left my master and the girl I loved, and risked my life to help you. Don't let me down!"

Kojiro burst into tears and shouted: "The righteousness is in our army, prepare for war! This battle must make the shogunate dare not face us squarely!"

The subordinates shouted violently: "Fight! Fight!"

The shogunate army slowly drove to the foot of Ogijo, and they were surprised to find that the Choshu warriors not only had no intention of surrendering, but even put on an offensive formation. Could it be that these people are blind and can't see the huge disparity in strength, or are they just a bunch of crazy people living in Ogijo?

No one knows the answer, but everyone understands that this battle will definitely not be as easy as it seems.

Coach Tokugawa Keitora sat under the umbrella of Jin Xuan Huangluo, and the dense human wall around him protected him in the center. He ordered Qi Yao to point: "Pass my general order to celebrate in the castle tower before this evening!"

The soldiers roared like a tsunami and began to attack the city.

I saw countless soldiers carrying the ladder and running wildly, but thousands of arrows were fired on the city tower, and there were countless arrows. Originally, the name of these soldiers was "Ashigaru Samurai", which means "insignificant" in Chinese, and most of them were peasants who were forced to make a living. They had almost no armor on their bodies, and only a shabby spear in their hands, and their treatment was far from that of a real samurai.

But even so, many people are still eager to become an "ashigaru samurai". Because it's one of the few ways you can change your identity. Of course, there is no one who succeeds in becoming a nobleman, and the vast majority of people die in brutal fighting.

The ashigaru samurai did not seek to hurt the enemy this time, but only to be able to build a ladder to the side of the castle wall. With an astonishing number of them, and the commander's tactics of ignoring casualties, dozens of ladders were simply erected.

By this time the first wave of the vanguard was almost dead, and the second wave of attacks came immediately. The tide of soldiers poured in, and the Choshu warriors didn't need to aim at all, as long as they fired arrows, they would definitely hit the enemy.

Due to the large number of people, the ladders were creaked and stepped on. On the city wall, some rolling wood, stones, poisonous water and tar were thrown down in pieces. The shogunate army went forward one after another, not giving the Choshu army a chance to breathe.

The battle entered the white heat, and Tokugawa Qinghu waved the pheasant tail feather fan in his hand lightly, and said, "It's almost time for the big guy to appear." ”

I saw that the shogunate army gave way one after another, the earthquake trembled, and the rear army drove over more than ten heavy siege vehicles. This weapon is called Jinglan, and its shape is similar to that of a castle tower, and it is more than three zhang high. The platform at the top can stand 100 people, and the belly of the car can also hide more than 100 people. Soldiers could shoot at the walls with their bows and arrows, or reach the edge of the walls under the cover of their vehicles and engage the enemy directly in hand-to-hand combat.

As soon as the well fence came out, the morale of the shogunate army was really boosted. They move slowly, but they are unstoppable. The body of the car was instantly filled with feathered arrows, like a huge hedgehog, but it was not painful.

The well fence was opened to the near of the city wall, but suddenly the Changzhou army suddenly showed a huge crossbow machine from the battlements. It was a bed crossbow that fired arrows the size of spears. The crossbowman on the corner tower aimed at the next well railing and fired an arrow at it. Only a "bang" sound, the arrow penetrated the body of the car, but it pierced the air, and the soldiers in the car were still unscathed.

But the crossbowman shouted as if he had picked up a treasure, "Hit!"

A closer look saw that the crossbow was tied to a hemp rope at the end, and the other end was held in the hands of three hundred Changzhou troops, who shouted like thunder: "Pull!"

Everyone slammed their efforts, and the center of gravity of the well bar was unstable, and it fell crookedly to the left.

To the left of it is another well bar.

The chain effect was triggered, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen well fences collided one after another, and all of them were destroyed. The soldiers in the car either fell to their deaths or were crushed under the car and were seriously injured.

Tokugawa Keitora in the distance saw this scene, and his nose was crooked. He threw the feather fan on the ground and shouted: "Give me the whole army to charge, even if you rely on the pile of dead people, you will also take Ogi City!"

Tokugawa Keitora's status in the shogunate was second only to Tokugawa Yoshiki, the shogun of Seiyi, and he was a veteran politician. He knew very well that the people of Changzhou were powerful, and if he didn't wipe them out this time, it would be difficult to fight again in the future. The shogunate stood firm because of its iron fist and authority, both of which could not be shaken in the slightest.

So the number of casualties is just a number for him, and the capture of Ogijo is a victory.

But before the shogunate's order could be passed down, the gates of Ogijo suddenly opened, and the Choshu army shouted in unison, "The righteousness is in our army!"

Tokugawa Qinghu was stunned, and the retainer next to him reminded: "My lord, the enemy army is coming, how to deal with it?"

Tokugawa Keitora didn't answer, just muttered to himself, "They...... You don't really want to win, do you?"
