- After watching Roddelny leave his side and return to his mercenary companions, as he told another reward offered by Zhao Hongyu, the Portuguese mercenaries who were enjoying the sumptuous food were immediately shocked. cheered.
One-tenth of the wealth of Shiliang City should be divided equally among the soldiers. Although I don¡¯t know how much it is, I think it won¡¯t be too little.
? ? Originally, being able to get twenty taels of silver in one battle was already very good.
But unexpectedly, the generous His Highness actually gave another reward. This is so exciting, thank you to this big sponsor.
Of course, while telling the reward, Rodelny also lost no time in telling the mercenaries that this battle was not an easy one, which also made everyone mentally prepared.
In response to Rodelny¡¯s reminder, all the mercenaries expressed that they understood.
In a war, no one will die.
If they were afraid of death, they wouldn't come here.
Since they have money to take and rewards that have been promised, why don¡¯t they give it a try.
¡°If Shiliang City is a castle with countless treasures, then one-tenth of the wealth can definitely make them rich.
As for the possibility of dying in this battle?
Hehe, that can only be said to be bad luck.
These Portuguese mercenaries do not think that they are the kind of unlucky people without luck.
Anyway, after a new reward was issued, the morale of the Portuguese was simply over the top.
It can be said that for those wealth, they can basically bear a lot of battle losses.
People, you always have to give them some hope and encouragement, so that they can go further.
This has to be said that Zhao Hongyu suffered a bit, because the salary and this reward he offered to the Portuguese were actually based on the conquest of Shiliang City.
It¡¯s just that the Portuguese haven¡¯t thought about that yet.

¡°Everything comes and goes, Zhao Hongyu is still the one who takes advantage, and he has no losses at all.
Hey, hey, a bunch of money-grubbing guys, I hope Shiliang City has enough treasures. Otherwise you will suffer a loss Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
After he looked at the Portuguese mercenaries, he turned back and placed it at Shiliang City.
Zhao Hongyu already has a very clear understanding of the environment here in Shiliang City and the situation of the entire city.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhao Hongyu becomes cautious.
Yes, the Imperial Army soldiers under his command are not afraid of death, but these genetic humans are also flesh and blood, not robots.
Although he still has one hundred and fifty artillery pieces under his command, due to the environment, these artillery pieces cannot be deployed to effectively exert their power against Shiliang City.
All these practical problems had to be restrained by Zhao Hongyu, and he could not move forward rashly.
Because if he does this, he will probably put himself in a very dangerous situation, and at the same time ruin everything that was originally good.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to be like this.
With the situation in the Japanese country now like this, he still spent a lot of energy and time.
"Your Highness, is there any way to solve the problem in Shiliang City?"
Chizuru Hattori, who was behind Zhao Hongyu, had long noticed the state of the young His Highness, so she asked worriedly.
"There is a way, there will be a way, but I haven't thought of it yet." Zhao Hongyu said this resolutely. In his opinion, there is no city in this world that cannot be conquered. It is absolutely impossible. "You know, there is no city in this world that will not fall. Even though Shiliang City is known as the city that never falls in Kyushu, it is just because those who have thought about it have never found any effective method. "
Although Chizuru Hattori didn¡¯t have much hope for this attack after seeing Shiliang Castle, she still regained some confidence after listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.
After all, since she followed Zhao Hongyu, the little girl has seen a lot of big scenes.
Not to mention the distance, just after they arrived in Kyushu, they immediately fought with the Kyushu Allied Forces in Maitreya Plains. At that time, the number of enemies they had to face was as many as 150,000.
How many troops did they have at that time?
There are more than 9,000 people and less than 10,000 troops.
If it were normal circumstances, then a party like our own that is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength would definitely retreat when facing such a powerful enemy.
Because there is no hope of victory at all, fighting the opponent is basically the same as seeking death.
But this is what His Highness did, and he fought with the Kyushu Allied Forces.
¡°If someone were to judge a battle like that, they would basically not think they would win.
Unless you are a lunatic.
But in the end, under the command of this young His Highness, the army defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces. Winning the result that everyone thought was impossible is victory.
Since that time, Hattori Chizuru¡¯s admiration and blind trust for Zhao Hongyu began to grow crazily in her heart.
You know, here in the Japanese country, strong men and women are very admired and even worshiped.
The little girl Chizuru Hattori is no exception.
Because the environment in which she grew up is like this, her thinking must also be like this.
Originally, after she saw Shiliang City, she thought that this military operation would definitely not be too good.
¡°But after what Zhao Hongyu said, the little girl felt that the young His Highness she was protecting now would definitely find a good way in the end.
What others cannot do, this young His Highness may not be able to do.
After all, His Highness has shown her many things that in her opinion are impossible.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know at this time that there was already a ¡®brainless fan¡¯ around him, but it was estimated that even if he knew about this, he wouldn¡¯t have any big reaction or expression.
"Instruct the artillerymen to pull out a few cannons, and then fire cannon shells at Shiliang City for trial firing. I need to know some more specific situations before I can make arrangements."
After Zhao Hongyu gave his instructions, the messengers around him began to work.
Soon, several artillery pieces were pushed up from the rear, and then lined up in front of the army. The artillerymen began to load gunpowder and shells, and at the same time adjusted the height of the artillery.
Shira Castle is an important city on the east side of Satsuma Domain. It can be said that it is a very important castle for Satsuma Domain.
As long as Shira Castle can remain under the control of the Yamaguchi family of the Satsuma Domain, there will be no threat to the entire Satsuma Domain territory.
Because the geographical location of Shira Castle is very special, and the surrounding environment of the entire Satsuma Domain is also different from other places in Kyushu.
There is a large plain in the territory of Satsuma Domain, but there are mostly hills and mountains in the periphery, and these peripheral areas are very rugged and rugged, which is not conducive to the passage of large armies at all.
There are usually two passages out of the Satsuma Domain, one of which is Isa near the Kumamoto territory in the north, and the other is the Shira Castle area.
In other words, if you want to enter Satsuma Domain, you must pass through these two passages. If you want to go anywhere else, it's basically impossible.
It is precisely because of this that this proves the importance of Shiliang City, the city that never falls.
If Zhao Hongyu cannot conquer Shira Castle, then if he wants to successfully conquer Satsuma Domain, he will have to go around a long way and enter Satsuma Domain from Isa.
But if you enter Satsuma Domain from there, not only the distance will be long, but also a lot of time will be wasted.
¡°And if you go along this way, you will encounter a lot of villages, towns and small fortresses, which will be very troublesome to solve. Although Zhao Hongyu can handle it, it will still waste a lot of time.
God knows whether the people of Kyushu will do something wrong again as time goes by.
"Don't look at it. The 150,000 troops organized by the Kyushu people have been defeated by themselves, causing their vitality to be severely damaged.
¡°But Zhao Hongyu is not sure whether these famous people will summon all the people of Kyushu again to fight with him.
If you fall into the vast ocean of people's war, you will really have a headache.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu must quickly kill as many people as possible before the great names of Kyushu incite all the people of Kyushu, and when their vitality is severely damaged and they are unlikely to pose much danger to him in a short period of time.
At the same time, let yourself occupy a piece of territory in Kyushu. As long as you have the territory, everything will become easier.
Just in Zhao ?While the artillery on the Yuyu side was still being adjusted, in the winding mountain road defense facility of Shiliang Castle opposite, Toyotani Saburo, the guard of Shiliang Castle, was standing behind the crenel with a frown on his face, looking at him with a worried expression. Take Zhao Hongyu's position under the city.
"Toyotani Castle Keeper, have you heard? The coalition of the thirteen famous families of Kyushu has been defeated in Mirokuhara." One of the several generals behind Toyotani Saburo whispered to him The news I heard. "The ones who defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces were these enemies under the city."
"I know it without you saying it. What do you mean by saying these words to me?"
Toyaya Saburo responded with a somewhat unkind tone, and at the same time glanced at him with a not very good look.
Seeing Toyotani Saburo like this, the general who just spoke suddenly fell silent. He could see that the castle guard was not in a good mood, so if he continued talking, he would probably get into trouble.
"Please show your samurai spirit and don't be frightened by the enemy. You must know that we are Shiliang City, the city that never falls in Kyushu. If the enemy wants to attack, then we will definitely make them look good."
Toyaya Saburo warned the generals following him with a serious face.
"oh!"
All the generals responded in unison.
However, how many people agree with Saburo Toyaya¡¯s words is another matter.
"Please take a closer look. There are not many enemies under the city. They are only five or six thousand people. There is nothing to worry about."
Saburo Toyaya saw that everyone's morale was a little low. Although he was a little resentful, he also knew that he could not be too harsh on his subordinates at this time.
After all, when the enemy starts to attack, you will have to rely on these people to resist the enemy.
"These people want to attack Shiliang City, but there are definitely too few of them. Others don't know, don't we, as the defenders of Shiliang City, not know this?"
Well!
¡°Yes, what the Lord Castle Guard said is not wrong at all.
Others don¡¯t know the defensive power of Shiliang City, but they know it very well.
As the defenders of Shiliang City, no one knows this better than them.
At this point, the morale of many people has slowly improved.
To be honest, many of them were frightened by the news that came here.
So, someone behaved like this just now.
A total of 150,000 people in the Kyushu Allied Forces in Maitreya were wiped out by the enemy.
That¡¯s 150,000 people!
And it is an elite force assembled by the thirteen famous families in Kyushu.
Was he actually defeated by the enemy like this?
This is simply an unimaginable thing.
how can that be possible?
Anyone who heard the news was unlikely the first time.
This must be a joke or a rumor.
However, when the lord of Satsuma Domain, Yamaguchi Shigenobu, was defeated and returned, it indicated that all this was true.
Therefore, many people will start to think about it.
What kind of enemies were those who fell to the ground? How could they possibly defeat the Kyushu Allied Forces with 150,000 troops?
??And the news said that the enemies who defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces had less than 10,000 troops.
This shocked everyone even more.
Even beyond everyone¡¯s cognitive thinking.
10,000 people defeated 150,000 people?
I went, can I really be sure?
"But it is an indisputable fact that my lord led more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Satsuma clan to Mirokuhara, and finally retreated with only 2,000 remaining soldiers.
It can be seen that some things in this news are really like this.
Therefore, it is normal for the defenders of Shiliang City to be afraid when the enemy they have always heard about appears.
You must know that the number of these enemies is not large, but they defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces with more than 150,000 troops at a disadvantage.
Fifteen thousand people were defeated, so how could Shiliang City, which was only defended by a thousand people, be the opponent?
However, when the city guard of Shiliang City mentioned it, everyone seemed to remember it.
The city they are stationed in is Shiliang City, which is known as the city that never falls in Kyushu.
Furthermore, looking down from the city, it seems that the enemies are not very different.It seems like there are only a few thousand people.
¡°If just this small number of people come to attack Shiliang City, it seems that it is not impossible to deal with it.
You must know that Shiliang City has the defensive power to withstand the siege of an army of 100,000 people.
??History, Shiliang City has experienced this kind of battle.
Therefore, when everyone heard what Toyotani Castle Shou said, they no longer felt so scared. (To be continued.
