- Woo!
?????????????????????????
The sound of military bugles
The expeditionary army formed a formation, and the messengers constantly shuttled among the various military formations, conveying the general's orders.
At noon, the crusade finally arrived at a small slope outside Zhao Hongyu's temporary camp and outlined an attack formation.
Zhao Hongyu and the others had obtained information about the ninjas before the crusade arrived here.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu led his troops out of the camp in advance and came to Xiaotupo to occupy the favorable terrain.
Thirty-six cannons, behind 500 Guards infantry.
The European coated cavalry were standing ready behind Zhao Hongyu.
Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen led the former pirates who had registered as household registration in the Song Dynasty, wearing various armors and holding weapons, and stayed at the rear as a reserve force.
Some of these people were wearing Japanese armor, some were wearing Ming armor, and some were even wearing Goryeo armor.
??Kawabe Yuuji and Iguchi Zozo drove more than 400 former Osaka Castle captive soldiers to form an array at the front.
These guys were armed with long bamboo spears and were still wearing their original black leather half-length armor.
They are cannon fodder in Zhao Hongyu's eyes.
And they can only do this.
"You have no way out. Those leaflets have been distributed to Osaka Castle and Edo. Do you think you have any way out?"
Yuji by the river was riding on his horse, shouting loudly and arrogantly to the captured soldiers.
These captive soldiers, looking at the majestic crusade on the opposite side, were trembling all over like little quails.
Such a person has no fighting ability at all.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu didn't make any big demands on them, he just asked them to be good cannon fodder.
But the question is, how can we enable these people to fight for themselves without worrying about them defecting on the battlefield?
For this reason, Zhao Hongyu spent a lot of brain cells.
Fortunately, there is a guy like Yuji Kawabe, otherwise Zhao Hongyu really doesn¡¯t know what to do.
Leaflets are just one of the small means.
This is just to ensure that the captive soldiers have no way out.
But, if you really want them to sacrifice their lives, then it is nothing more than profit.
Hebeian Yuuji clapped his hands, and immediately two people came to the captive soldiers carrying a large box.
At the signal of Yuji Hebei, the lid of the box was opened.
Well!
The captured soldiers had different expressions.
The money in the box is all white.
¡°For a person¡¯s head of one tael of silver, he can still get a bushel of rice!¡±
Wow!
When Yuji Kawabe announced the reward, the captive soldiers all widened their eyes.
They really couldn¡¯t believe that an enemy¡¯s head could actually receive such a heavy reward.
In their career as soldiers, this was something they had never thought about.
"Keep your word, as long as you can chop off the enemy's head, then we can fulfill our promise. As for whether you can eat the white rice and get the white money, it depends on your own ability."
After riverside Yuuji rode his horse in a circle, after saying these words, he came behind the queue of captured soldiers.
Although the loyalty of the captive soldiers was not very high, driven by interests, these guys still increased their momentum to a certain extent.
"I hope they can withstand a charge. I don't have high expectations for them."
When Yuji Kawabe rode his horse to the rear of the queue, Iguchi Zozo whispered to Yuji Kawabe.
Kawabe Yuuji smiled when he heard this: "I still have high expectations for them. Although they have no loyalty, I think they will fight to the death under the heavy reward. Who doesn't want to eat the white rice? They Some people have never eaten it until now."
What Yuji Kawabe said is true. The living standard of the Japanese was actually not very high in the 16th century.
Most people do not eat rice with white flowers, but basically grains with fine bran.
But that¡¯s it, only wealthy people with status can enjoy it.
Ordinary people eat rice balls wrapped in sweet potato leaves and coarse bran, paired with a bowl of soup with two slices of white radish floating on them.
Rice, that¡¯s what the daimyo make of itFood to enjoy.
Especially Zhao Hongyu¡¯s rice, which was purchased from another time and space, is plumper and more beautiful than the rice of this era. Just looking at it makes people swallow their saliva unconsciously.
For the Japanese people who are like diaosi, rice is still very attractive.
For food, humans can often burst out with great strength.
Kawabe Yuuji felt that this was what happened to these captured soldiers.
What¡¯s more, there is still one tael of silver left to take.
You must know that the soldiers in the Japanese country do not actually receive a lot of monthly military pay.
¡°That¡¯s just two meals a day, and the military salary is a few copper coins every month.
One tael of silver?
Don¡¯t even think about it.
In Japan, gold is cheap but silver is precious, so the value of silver in Japan is very high.
The captive soldiers had different reactions. Some felt that they should defect on the battlefield, but more felt that they had no way out anyway, so they might as well just follow these foreigners.
Of course, everyone was watching the majestic crusade army, and their hearts were beating.
Because they don¡¯t know whether they can survive the attack of the crusade.
After all, their numbers are too few.
Zhao Hongyu is the only one who is confident about winning this battle.
"This time the other party didn't create any formation for me."
Thinking of the confrontation with Osaka Castle¡¯s army a few days ago, Osaka Castle¡¯s army came up with a crane wing formation, which made Zhao Hongyu panic.
But today he looked at the lineup of the crusade, and it seemed like there were two very ordinary fronts, nothing surprising.
¡°Actually, he doesn¡¯t know that the arrogant Takahashi is completely uneducated, so what kind of formation does he know?
" Moreover, he had a large number of people, so he did not take Zhao Hongyu and the others seriously. In his opinion, as long as he charged, he could kill Zhao Hongyu and the others.
So, what to do with the formation?
trouble.
Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru, as subordinates of Zhao Hongyu, also joined the battle.
After all, this battle is also related to their future.
If Zhao Hongyu loses this battle, they will run away with him.
Therefore, at this time, they must follow Zhao Hongyu closely.
And Chizuru Hattori has another task, which is to protect Zhao Hongyu from being attacked by the Koga ninjas.
At this time, Gota had already taken the remaining seven Koga ninjas and hid in the team of the crusade.
Therefore, this must be guarded against.
Tokugawa Kayo's face looked a little unhappy at this time. This was her first time on the battlefield and facing so many enemies.
Especially, the number of enemies is several times greater than our own.
The little girl was considered very strong for being able to follow Zhao Hongyu without crying.
Zhao Hongyu looked at the pale-faced Tokugawa Kayo, comforted her and said: "You have to have confidence in me, even if we are small in number, I guarantee that victory will be ours."
Tokugawa Kayo glanced at Zhao Hongyu pitifully. She really didn't know why the prince had such strong self-confidence and believed that he would be able to defeat the enemy.
There are a lot of enemies on the opposite side, but how many of us are there?
It is obviously not very realistic to defeat so many enemies with such a small number of people.
Tokugawa Kayo¡¯s thoughts actually represent the thoughts of many people.
However, none of them knew that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s self-confidence was not for nothing.
"Don't believe it? It doesn't matter, you will see how I win!"
Sensing Tokugawa Kayo's disbelief, Zhao Hongyu smiled without mind at all.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu also knows that many of Tokugawa Kayo and others do not believe this, which actually makes sense.
After all, their thinking and cognition are different from mine.
Therefore, if you make them believe, shock, and truly feel your power, then you must make the other party truly feel it in this battle.
"Your Highness, I believe you!"
Hattori Chizuru, who had been silent all this time, finally said something that surprised Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu and Tokugawa Kayo both turned their heads and looked at Hattori Chizuru, a tomboy.
"Qianhe, why do you believe me?" Zhao Hongyu asked very strangely, "You know, even Jiayo doesn't believe it."
Zhao Hongyu blinked at Qianhe.
Well Chizuru Hattori pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Actually, I don't know why, but seeing that you are so confident, Your Highness, I think you must have a reason for being confident. Unless you are a fool or an idiot, otherwise you How can you face so many enemies and still have such strong confidence to defeat them?"
Well!
After Zhao Hongyu heard Hattori Chizuru¡¯s words, he felt dumbfounded.
Hattori Chizuru didn't stop talking because of Zhao Hongyu's silly look. She continued: "Is Your Highness an idiot? Obviously not, because I have been with you for some days, and I can conclude that Your Highness, you He is not such a person. So judging from this conclusion, you must be on target."
¡°I never expected that tomboy Chizuru would actually have such knowledge.
Zhao Hongyu finally felt a little better.
When he first listened to Hattori Chizuru¡¯s words, he thought Hattori Chizuru said that he was an ignorant, arrogant idiot.
It turns out that Hattori Chizuru thought she had some support, so she was so confident.
¡°Well, actually what Hattori Chizuru said is right, and she does have something to rely on.
What he relied on were the thirty-six artillery pieces at the rear of the team.
"Since you are so confident, let me show you how I defeated these crusade troops!" Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded to Chizuru Hattori, then turned around and shouted: "Load the ground grenade and fire a volley Three rounds!" (To be continued.
