Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The old village chief of Mikawahara agreed to all Yuji Kawabe's requests.

    ¡°Besides, it¡¯s okay if they don¡¯t agree.

    They have bright swords and guns in their hands. If they don't agree, they will definitely be killed.

    ¡°As long as a smart person has a brain, he will know what choice he should make when facing this situation.  Only those who are stubborn will foolishly contradict the other party. This old village chief is obviously not that kind of silly guy.

    "Sir, we are willing to surrender, willing to surrender."

    And as soon as Hebian Yuji finished explaining to the old village chief, the Kyushu captive soldiers knelt on the ground with cheers.

    They finally understood that what the other party did was to cut off their retreat and leave them with nowhere to go.

    Since this is done, the purpose must be to make them surrender.

    As for what they will be asked to do after surrender, it is obviously to be used as cannon fodder when attacking Okazaki Castle.

    However, if they don¡¯t surrender now, they will definitely not let them go.

    Some people have even begun to imagine that these fat guys have murderous intentions towards them.

    After all, they are not far from Okazaki Castle now. It is very troublesome for them to march with their captives, and there are still great hidden dangers.

    Therefore, the best solution is to get rid of them all, which is the most worry-free.

    Therefore, if they surrender, they may be used as cannon fodder.  But that's better than being killed immediately if you don't surrender.

    At least, they can live a little longer before becoming cannon fodder.

    People, who is willing to really die?

    Seeing such a scene, Kawabe Yuuji did not make any move. He just turned his head and looked at Tokugawa Kayo.

    After all, he is still the subordinate of Tokugawa Kayo, and if these Kyushu prisoners surrender, he will not be able to accept it. This needs to be seen what Tokugawa Kayo means.

    Tokugawa Kayo didn¡¯t quite understand what Kawabe Yuuji meant, but Hattori Kizo, the old man next to Tokugawa Kayo, also immediately woke up.

    He smiled at Yuji Kawabe, then leaned over and whispered a few words to Tokugawa Kayo in his ear.

    After that, Tokugawa Kayo finally understood.

    ¡°Then, the little girl took Hattori Onizou to the Kyushu prisoners who were begging and saying that they wanted to surrender, and began to tell them about the righteousness of joining the Tokugawa family and the benefits they could obtain in the future.

    In short, who can¡¯t draw a big pie?

    Seeing that Tokugawa Kayo finally understood and started to take action, Kawabe Yuuji retracted his gaze and focused again on the two unlucky guys who were caught.

    Because Yuji Kawabe has something very important to ask these two unlucky guys.

    From the short conversation with them just now, we can judge that these two guys know Okazaki Castle very well, so we can definitely get some military information about Okazaki Castle from their mouths.

    "You two guys listen carefully. If you don't want to die, just tell me honestly the distribution of military power in Okazaki Castle. If you can satisfy me, then instead of killing you, I will give you  I¡¯ll let you go with a sum of money.¡±

    Kawabe Yuuji said to the two unlucky guys seriously and solemnly, and at the same time, he also made a promise.

    It is impossible to not be excited about the fact that you can survive and there is still hope of getting a reward.

    The same goes for these two unlucky guys.

    At that moment, the two guys turned their heads and looked at each other, then lowered their heads and kowtowed on the ground.

    The thinner one among them said: "Excuse me, sir. As long as the villain knows everything, he will answer it."

    A soldier brought a maza, placed it behind Yuji Kawabe, and asked Yuji Kawabe to sit down.

    "Tell me, you must satisfy me."

    After sitting down, Yuji Kawabe gave serious instructions to the two unlucky guys again.

    "The two unlucky guys must be very clear about this.

    "There are still 600 troops stationed in Okazaki Castle. After Fujita High School was defeated by you in Mirokuhara, he only led less than 2,000 people to defeat Okazaki Castle. There were many deserters like us along the way.  , he has no way to control it at all, and the only ones following him are the elite Hatamoto troops"

    ?? Kawabe Yuuji listened carefully to the stories of the two unlucky men, and at the same time secretly weighed in his mind how much fighting power Okazaki Castle still has now, and whether it can fight against our own side, even if it canIf you resist, how long can you resist?

    From the stories of these two unlucky men, Yuji Kawabe slowly understood the general outline of Fujita's remaining troops.

    According to the analysis described by these two guys, Fujita High School currently has more than 400 elite Hatamoto Guards in his hands.  There are more than 1,300 ashigaru defenders at Okazaki Castle, and more than 12,000 militiamen composed of strong men drawn from the territory. Then this guy also has an army of 13,000 to 4,000 people.  Help him defend Okazaki Castle.

    At the same time, Fujita High School sophomore also collected food supplies from the villages and towns in the territory and piled them in Okazaki Castle. It can be said that they did not have to worry about the lack of supplies at all.

    If you want to launch a long siege, Okazaki Castle can still be conquered.

    However, according to the empire's plan, a long-term siege is very unrealistic.

    Therefore, they must capture Okazaki Castle in a short period of time, and then begin to sweep the surrounding territories to control the entire Miyazaki in their own hands.

    Therefore, a long-term siege is impossible.

    "So we now have 2,000 infantry sent by the Crown Prince, and our own Imperial Alliance Army, which totals only more than 2,600 people.  Even with the addition of these Kyushu prisoners whose loyalty could not be guaranteed, the number was only over 3,300.

    In terms of military strength, they are still at an absolute disadvantage.

    What's more, this is not a battle in the wild, but a siege.

    Therefore, the disadvantage in military strength will make our own side a little troublesome.

    Fortunately, we have fifty artillery pieces. This sharp weapon can be used to attack the city.

    Otherwise, I really don¡¯t know what to do.

    Soon, Yuji Kawabe had a basic judgment and assessment of the situation.

    "You have said something about Okazaki Castle, and I am quite satisfied. Then I would like you to tell me how many garrisons Fujita has in other villages and towns in the Miyazaki territory."

    ??Kawabe Yuuji continued to ask.

    Yes, this matter is also relatively important to Kawabe Yuuji.

    Because if they start to encircle Okazaki Castle, then it is necessary to take into account some of the surrounding situations.

    ¡°If, in addition to the troops in Okazaki Castle, Fujita Takaoji has other garrison troops in his territory, then these garrison troops will definitely come to the rescue.

    By then, I will not only have to face enemies within Okazaki Castle, but also enemies from outside the city.

    This is a very troublesome and dangerous matter.

    Therefore, we have to ask carefully and make sure we have a good idea before we can arrange the battle plan as much as possible¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    At this moment, Fujita High School has led the defeated troops and returned to Okazaki Castle.

    When he returned with the remaining flags, he immediately ordered the gates of Okazaki Castle to be closed, then ordered to strengthen patrols and sent soldiers to the top of the city.

    He was in a state of shock at this time, and was on tenterhooks along the way.

    At the same time, the soldiers kept escaping along the way, which also made him feel resentful and miserable.

    The battle of Maitreya had failed like this. This was something he could never imagine or understand.

    "An army of 150,000 people, that's not 150,000 sheep."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? were defeated by the enemy in less than two hours.

    What shocked him even more was that the enemy's strength was less than 10,000.

    It¡¯s like hell.

    Returning to his residence in Okazaki Castle, Fujita High School student immediately summoned all the members of the first sect and family elders, and held an emergency meeting.

    At the meeting, when he said that the Battle of Maitreya had failed, everyone in the meeting had a look of disbelief on their faces.

    Like Fujita, a sophomore in high school, they all feel puzzled and confused about this, as well as deeply fearful.

    "What I don't understand and wonder about is how the enemy is so powerful, and can actually defeat the Kyushu Allied Forces with a force of less than 10,000 people, which has 150,000 people.

    This completely exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations and their judgment and opinions on the war.

    What is frightening is that they know what they will face after the failure of the Battle of Maitreya.

    ??The 150,000-strong army was unable to destroy the enemy, but was defeated by the opponent. From this point, it can be seen that these enemies are definitely not ordinary enemies.

    Moreover, after the Kyushu Allied Forces were severely weakened, they were unable to effectively organize and fight against the enemy for a long time.?The cost of confrontation is gone.

    So, the enemy will definitely start to attack the daimyo from all over Kyushu now.

    The first to bear the brunt must be the Miyazaki territory.

    The more troublesome thing is that the enemy's attack power is very powerful and fierce, and their morale is high. However, our own army's failure to pass through Maitreya Plains suffered too much loss of troops, and morale was also extremely low.

    If the enemy really comes to attack Miyazaki territory, what will they do?

    ??Another one, in order to organize the battle of Mirokuhara, Fujita High School has mobilized all the elite troops in the entire Miyazaki territory, and now they have no elite soldiers on hand.

    Although there are still 12,000 elite militiamen in Okazaki Castle, these militiamen cannot compare with the elite soldiers at all.

    ¡°Oh my God, the Fujita family is really in trouble now.

    This is the first thought that arises in the minds of everyone present and a judgment about the future.

    "Everyone, tell me, what are we going to do now? Should Okazaki Castle continue to be garrisoned, or can we leave Okazaki Castle?"

    By this time in his sophomore year of high school, Fujita had already begun to retreat.

    He is no longer as high-spirited as he was before Mirokuhara fought.

    When he heard the scene of the Maitreya battle, the sharpness of the enemy's weapons, and the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and at the same time, layers of cold sweat oozed from his back.

    Continue to fight?

    He doesn¡¯t know why he should fight against the enemy.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
