- "There seems to be something wrong with the Japanese who have been besieging the city these days. They haven't attacked for many days. There must be monsters who resort to abnormal methods. I don't know what these Japanese are planning to do."
Since their attack was thwarted a few days ago, the expeditionary army has suffered heavy losses and has not yet been able to replenish its troops, so they adopted the tactic of besieging Osaka Castle without attacking it.
The plan is very simple, it is to trap Zhao Hongyu and others in Osaka Castle.
With the arrival of Fuma Kotaro, Ishida Aido and Kazushi, they knew what happened in Edo and the difficulties that Ishida Aido himself was about to face, they had no intention of attacking Osaka Castle.
After all, both the shogun and the emperor were captured. If they still attack Osaka Castle, if something happens to the emperor and the general, this matter will definitely be blamed on them.
" Ishida Kaido and Feng Shi would not be stupid enough to carry such a scapegoat on themselves.
Furthermore, now that the emperor and the general have become prisoners due to the fall of Edo, Ishida Hiroshi and Kazushi have become much more relaxed now.
Originally, if the war went against their side, some blame would inevitably fall on them.
But now the situation is different.
Because something like this happened in Edo, they also have a good excuse, right?
Yes, as long as they say they are worried about the safety of the general and the emperor, they can silence many people.
In addition, they also control an army of tens of thousands of people, so they have to be feared by some people.
"This will offend the expeditionary army, which is really difficult for you to deal with.
Therefore, Ishida Kaido and Kazushi do not want to use the forces at hand in a war of attrition against the enemies of Osaka Castle.
This is their capital to deal with possible troubles in the future, so they cannot be spent easily.
¡°If they consume all the capital on hand, then the things they will face in the future will become very difficult.
" It is impossible for Ishida Hedao and Fengshi not to understand this truth.
Even if they don¡¯t expect this, Fuma Kotaro will remind them.
So, now the top commander of the Crusade Army is no longer thinking about Osaka Castle.
Instead, all attention should be placed on Edo Castle.
To them, people like Zhao Hongyu are just some people suffering from ringworm.
As long as the general's position can be secured in the end, he can still be cleared by launching an army later.
¡°Besides, it¡¯s impossible for these foreigners to always stay in Japan, right?
In the eyes of Ishida Aido and Feng Shi, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu and others to obtain supplies in the Japanese country, as well as the participation and support of the people.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to stay in Japan for too long.
Although they can gain some military advantages and victory in a short period of time, staying for a long time is very disadvantageous for them.
It was with this view that Ishida Aido and Feng Shi did not regard Zhao Hongyu and the others as their biggest opponents.
Nowadays, they have been paying attention to what is happening in Edo and what kind of development it is.
¡° But as a result, Zhao Hongyu in Osaka City was a little embarrassed.
A few days ago, the expeditionary army launched a desperate attack, attacking Osaka Castle frantically for seven days in a row.
But now that the attack suddenly stopped, Zhao Hongyu was really not used to it.
It even made Zhao Hongyu think that the crusade army had some conspiracy.
Because the changes in the crusade army were so strange, Zhao Hongyu had to have such an idea.
"My lord, why don't the enemies outside the city continue to attack? At least the soldiers can get some rest. You must know that although our losses in the attacks in the past few days were not great, the physical exertion of the soldiers was still very high."
On this day, following Zhao Hongyu to the top of the city, Tokugawa Kayo, who was observing the strength of the crusade, heard Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words and said to him.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, and he quite agreed with what Tokugawa Kayo said.
However, his mentality is still a little uneasy.
"You are right. It is advantageous for us if the enemy does not attack. In fact, if they continue to attack like they did a few days ago, although I am sure to resist them, the physical strength of the soldiers below will be very exhausted."
He echoed.
"If we didn't have enough food and provide the soldiers with five meals a day to replenish their physical strength, our Osaka Castle would have fallen long ago during the attack a few days ago."
Zhao Hongyu said with some exaggeration.
" Tokugawa Kayo just smiled at Zhao Hongyu's words.
During this time, Tokugawa Kayo already had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army in the city, which was dominated by Chinese soldiers.
Therefore, the fall of the city that Zhao Hongyu mentioned is completely impossible to happen.
You know, the walls of Osaka Castle are thick and very tall.
At the same time, a lot of artillery was placed on the top of Osaka Castle.
Most of the soldiers defending the city used powerful flintlock guns, so it was simply wishful thinking for the crusade to capture Osaka Castle.
????????? People who don¡¯t know better may think so, but as Tokugawa Kayo who has been with Zhao Hongyu for a while, she will not be ¡®deceived¡¯ by Zhao Hongyu.
"We just want to patrol and observe the situation of the crusade, and make all preparations and precautions. As long as we are more careful, we can deal with them even if they have any tricks."
After thinking for a while, Tokugawa Kayo said to Zhao Hongyu.
Today, Tokugawa Kayo is growing up very quickly. She has grown from an innocent and innocent girl who doesn't know much about anything to a qualified head of the family.
In fact, there is no way around this.
Who put the burden of reviving the Tokugawa family on her small shoulders?
If possible, she really doesn¡¯t want to be like this, because this is not the life she likes.
"However, she carries the hopes of too many people and the expectations of the Tokugawa family ancestors.
So, at a time like this, her personal wishes basically don¡¯t need to be considered.
Especially after taking refuge in Zhao Hongyu, she found that if she wanted to revive the Tokugawa family, she already had an opportunity.
Hattori Chizuru stood beside Zhao Hongyu without saying a word. She felt satisfied watching the two of them talking to each other.
Compared to Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Chizuru is not under so much pressure.
Therefore, her life is much easier than that of Tokugawa Kayo.
"You are right. As long as we are careful, we are not afraid of any conspiracy by the crusade." Zhao Hongyu nodded and said. "You will tell Yuji Kawabe and Zozo Iguchi later and tell them to pay attention to the expeditionary army and not let them dig tunnels or anything like that."
Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought that in ancient times, there were many examples of people who were able to dig tunnels when attacking cities.
So, he gave a reminder.
Tokugawa Kayo nodded, saying that he had kept it in mind, and thought about reminding Yuji Kawabe and the others after a while to let them pay attention to this.
At this time, Japan has entered the late autumn season, and it is almost December.
??Looking at it now, autumn is coming to an end and winter is about to enter.
So, the temperature has dropped a lot.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu had made preparations in advance and distributed cold-proof clothing to his soldiers.
People of Chinese origin wear thick party coats.
There are also black leather boots and a big hat in winter.
These are all ordered in the virtual world at a huge price according to the queuing party costumes of the 18th century.
And for warmth, cashmere and other linings are added inside, and there is also thick warm velvet in the boots.
When you wear this outfit, you feel like a spirit.
??Kawabe Yuuji, Iguchi Zozo and the Japanese soldiers were all very jealous.
However, for these guys, Zhao Hongyu also gave them camouflage cotton-padded clothes.
Although the quality of this thing is not very good and it is made by some small and unscrupulous workshops, it is still no problem to keep warm in this era.
It means that if you wear it for a long time, you may have some skin diseases, or you may get some small acne or something.
But for these Japanese people, it seems that this is not a big deal at all.
Zhao Hongyu is of course willing to spend money to buy equipment for Chinese people.
" But for the Japanese under his command, Zhao Hongyu handled the matter with the attitude of saving the best he could.
In fact, there is no way around this.
After all, Zhao Hongyu really couldn¡¯t treat the Japanese equally.
A large flag was erected at the northern defense of Osaka Castle, which had become the position of the Japanese Allied Forces.
The flag is entirely white with gold lines sewn around it.
But on this white flag, there is a big word "demolished" written on it.
I don¡¯t know if Zhao Hongyu did it on purpose.
He had originally prepared riot gear for these Japanese people, and now he also had a "demilitarize" flag.
God knows what he is going to do.
But in any case, after having such a flag, these Japanese soldiers who had no way out and began to follow Zhao Hongyu wholeheartedly gained some energy.
Because for them, with a flag, they are truly accepted.
This is a serious legion under Zhao Hongyu.
If there is no flag, then they are just a miscellaneous army, and they play the role of cannon fodder in normal battles.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know what these people were thinking.
For him, he just thought it was a bit fun to do so.
Today, these Japanese soldiers wearing anti-explosion suits, holding anti-explosion shields and iron javelins as weapons, are sitting cross-legged on the ground to rest.
Because the expeditionary army stopped attacking, the fatigue from a few days ago was no longer visible on their faces.
??Even, because the food and drink here at Zhao Hongyu's place are very good, most of them are rosy-faced and even gained a lot of weight.
What do you do from time to time?
Zhao Hongyu glanced over the faces of these people and thought to himself. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
