Text Chapter 723 Is it a bit inconsistent?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji looked at the former Osaka prisoners of war who had finished changing their uniforms, and their eyes became very strange.

    To be honest, they have never seen such a 'suit' before.

    To both of them, this outfit always looks a little awkward.

    This is completely different from the mainstream aesthetics in the East in this era.

    However, they did not dare to express any opinions on this.

    ¡°After all, it was His Majesty who did it.

    ¡°If they express different opinions, God knows if His Highness will be angry.

    So, even though they felt it was awkward, they still endured it.

    What material is this thing made of?

    It¡¯s actually quite transparent.

    Although the soldiers¡¯ equipment was somewhat unacceptable, these equipment still aroused great curiosity in the two of them.

    That so-called ¡®helmet¡¯ thing is very comfortable to wear on your head. They tested it and its defense was very strong.

    At the same time, the knee pads and elbow pads are also very considerate.

    Especially the transparent shield made the two of them even more eye-catching.

    The defensive power of this kind of shield is much stronger than ordinary leather shields.

    After their testing, ordinary bows and arrows were unable to penetrate this shield, not even the arrows shot by some strong bows.

    Those arrows will basically bounce off the shield and slide aside.

    Could it be Liuli?

    Of course, it is impossible for Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji to know what the material of this shield is.

    After all, it is very normal for them not to understand that this is a product that is ahead of its time.

    If they can understand, then there is a ghost.

    In their opinion, this transparent shield may be made of colored glaze.

    You know, those Southern Barbarians sell such transparent products.

    "However, those glass products are very fragile and not so strong at all.

    So, this time, Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji, they don¡¯t know what this shield is about.

    But no matter what, the defensive power of this shield is unquestionable, which the two of them dare to guarantee with their heads.

    The Ashigaru were armed with long guns, carrying fire axes on their backs, and wore 10-proof explosion-proof suits, paired with camouflage uniforms and leather shoes. This look was a bit out of place.

    ¡°But Zhao Hongyu felt very satisfied.

    He already has a queuing party under his command, and now there is a demolition team, so what else can stop him in this world.

    The above is of course Zhao Hongyu¡¯s idea of ??joking and cannot be taken seriously at all.

    "Your Highness, this dress is very comfortable, especially these shoes, which is really surprising."

    After Iguchi Zozo put on his big black leather boots, he fawned over Zhao Hongyu.

    On his face, you can see the flattering look and expression on his face, which makes him want to lick Zhao Hongyu¡¯s anus.

    Kawabe Yuuji is not as shameless as Iguchi Zozo, but his expression is similar to Iguchi Zozo.

    However, it is more about curiosity about new things.

    "As long as you are comfortable in what you wear, these are what you will wear from now on."

    Zhao Hongyu looked at these transformed Japanese soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Kawabe Yuuji and Iguchi Zao Sandao.

    To be honest, Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to explain anything to them.

    This thing is too tiring to explain, and it is unnecessary.

    ¡°Besides, what should I explain to these Japanese people? They just need to obey orders, right?

    Seeing that Zhao Hongyu did not answer them, Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji were very wise and did not mention this issue.

    "Okay, you already have new weapons and shields. Now you don't have to worry about the enemy's arrows. Set up a sentry at the top of the city for me immediately. Those guys outside the city are really annoying."

    Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and asked Jingkou and Hebian to lead the Japanese soldiers away.

    Zhao Hongyu and the others have occupied Osaka Castle for some time.

    During this period, the crusade stationed outside the city, after mobilizing the archers who had been left behind in Tajima, came and harassed Osaka Castle from time to time every day.

    Although they did not launch a violent attack, there were many attacks every dayThese overwhelming arrows also brought a lot of trouble to Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Who told Zhao Hongyu and the others that they didn¡¯t have shields that could be used to defend against arrows.

    Now it¡¯s better, Zhao Hongyu has taken out the riot shield. Although this thing is not very good in later generations, it is still pretty good in this era to defend against those arrows.

    I don¡¯t know if Zhao Hongyu¡¯s bad taste was wrong. He actually dressed the Japanese soldiers under his command like a demolition team. I don¡¯t know what he was thinking.

    But what is certain is that with the riot shields, helmets and suits, the defense of these original Osaka captive soldiers has been greatly improved.

    At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also purchased a lot of food during this period and stored it in Osaka Castle.

    Because there is enough food and enough troops, the morale of his subordinates is pretty good now, and there is no depression or panic as others thought.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan to garrison Osaka Castle was successfully implemented.

    The expeditionary army outside the city also received news from the shogunate.

    The reinforcements have begun to set off and are heading here.

    This news was like a shot in the arm for the demoralized crusade, which immediately gave the crusade an immediate boost.

    In their view, as long as the reinforcements arrive here, none of the foreigners in Osaka Castle will be able to escape.

    Because the news from the Edo Shogunate said that the reinforcements this time exceeded 30,000 people, and more than 10,000 of them were the general's own elite troops.

    ??Here in the Japanese country, everyone has a strong superstition about the corps directly related to the shogun's family.

    They believe that since it is a legion directly under the general's family, its combat effectiveness must be very strong.

    What¡¯s more, more than 10,000 troops were dispatched at one time.

    As long as they join, it will not be difficult to deal with these foreigners.

    "It's just that no one has ever thought that the shogun's own army at this time is still not the same army as before.

    After all, more than ten years have passed since the end of the Warring States Period.

    This army of ours has already changed a group of people.

    In addition, General Ishida Hiroshi does not attach much importance to armaments and other matters, so can this corps still maintain the same combat effectiveness as before?

    You must know that in many cases the combat effectiveness of your own regiment has a great relationship with its master.

    Furthermore, depending on the character of the master, the mentality of the legionnaires will also change.

    This is a very mysterious thing.

    "For a guy like Hiroshi Ishida who has little interest in military affairs and is focused on women's bellies, what kind of thing can his own army be like now?"

    However, even so, the reputation of the General's own army is still quite intimidating.

    And because of the addition of this regiment, the morale of the crusade army suddenly rose to the top.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the rest of the expeditionary army are basically cavalry and cannot attack the city on foot.

    If you ca n¡¯t say, there are two wind servants, which will let them take advantage of this energy to start the siege battle against Osaka City.

    However, looking at the dark muzzle at the top of Osaka Castle, they had to give up this unrealistic idea.

    Yes, after Zhao Hongyu entered Osaka Castle, he immediately purchased dozens of artillery pieces from the Virtual Time and Space Trader and placed them at the top of Osaka Castle.

    Originally, his army had thirty-six artillery pieces.

    However, because he wanted to enter Osaka Castle before the crusade, those artillery pieces were abandoned and destroyed.

    After all, with these artillery pieces, Zhao Hongyu had no way to speed up.

    At the same time, you also have to worry about the enemy taking away the artillery on the road.

    If something like this happens, it will be worth the loss.

    Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu had extraordinary means, so he was still able to get the artillery out after entering Osaka Castle.

    If there is no way to obtain artillery, then Zhao Hongyu will not enter Osaka Castle.

    Although he rearranged the artillery, he did not fire it in these days.

    The main reason is that he is worried that the crusade will be scared away, so that his plan will not be implemented.

    And since this period of time, not only has he notCannons were fired, and even muskets were not fired.

    On the one hand, they are afraid of scaring away their opponents, but on the other hand, they want to continue harassing them without actually launching an attack at this time. At the same time, they do not have the strength to launch an attack, and are afraid that they will not have enough strength to launch an attack, and the enemy will give up.  Go to the city.

    If this is the case, their plan will not be realized.

    Therefore, the two parties were very strange and had their own agendas, and they started a confrontation outside Osaka Castle.

    "Your Highness, according to the intelligence from our ninjas, the Edo shogunate has dispatched a large army. It is estimated that they will arrive at Osaka Castle and join the enemies in two days."

    After Zhao Hongyu sent away Iguchi Zozo and the others, Hattori Kizo appeared behind Zhao Hongyu, kneeling on one knee and reporting to him the intelligence they had gathered over the past few days.

    "How many troops did the shogunate send?"

    Zhao Hongyu asked.

    "More than 30,000 people, of which 13,000 were originally the garrison stationed in Edo and the shogun's own regiment."

    Hattori Onizou told the truth, and a very worried look appeared on his face.

    Yes, Hattori Onizou actually completely disagrees with the plan to garrison Osaka Castle.

    However, due to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s insistence, they had absolutely no choice.

    Now, the Edo shogunate has dispatched a large army with more than 30,000 troops.

    ¡°Two days from now, Osaka Castle will be completely surrounded. It will be up to you what your Highness will do.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
