The battle had reached such a point, so Zhao Hongyu felt that he had to use all means to inflict damage on the defenders of Shiliang City as much as possible.
Since the artillery cannot exert its full power, it is very necessary to use ninjas to assassinate the officers of Shiliang Castle.
¡°Besides, this method has proven to be a very effective military strike method in the time and space before Zhao Hongyu came to this era.
It is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to be so stupid as not to use this method.
You know, in the time and space before Zhao Hongyu came to this era. In modern wars, the United States used the so-called "decapitation" operation against Iraq. Its main purpose was to specifically target the enemy's command system and military leaders.
And, in fact, it has been proven that the effect of this action is very significant.
The so-called ¡®decapitation operation¡¯ is actually of the same nature as Zhao Hongyu¡¯s upcoming ninja assassination.
"It's just that the strike methods used in another time and space rely on advanced military technology and precise guided missiles. What Zhao Hongyu wants to use is the personal power of being proficient in hiding, disguise, and possessing super fighting skills.
Although there is no comparison at the technical level, their properties and effects are exactly the same.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s view, as long as the command level of the Shiliang City defenders is attacked, the Shiliang City defenders will definitely fall into a situation where the leaderless command is completely paralyzed.
By that time, the entire Shiliang City will be completely in chaos because there is no command system.
As long as this happens, it will be easy for you to capture Shiliang City.
At the same time, I did not use this method at the beginning just to paralyze the enemy.
Now that the enemy has been completely led away by his own offensive rhythm, it is completely unexpected for the enemy to start such an action at this time.
Therefore, you can definitely achieve miraculous results.
Hattori Chizuru agreed to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, and then whistled to a group of Iga ninjas on standby not far away.
After receiving the mission order, the Iga ninjas mysteriously disappeared.
"Your Highness, the Iga people have already set off."
After the Iga attack, Hattori Chizuru whispered to Zhao Hongyu.
Sarah, who had already discovered the strange movement in Shiliang City and guessed the intentions of the guard of Shiliang City Saburo Toyotani, rode her horse close to Zhao Hongyu and said: "The enemies in the city have changed. If I guessed correctly, they are now We are gathering all our forces to prepare the fourth level of defense circle.¡±
Regarding the movements in Shiliang City, Sara and Emma have been observing the movements with telescopes since the beginning of the war.
Regarding this battle, it is impossible for Emma to put forward her opinions, because the little girl does not know much about war and military issues, so she knows very well that she cannot put forward her opinions randomly at this time.
But unlike Emma, ??as a European noble, Sarah not only had to learn lady knowledge when she was young, she also had to learn financial management and some military knowledge.
The reason why she needs to learn this knowledge is not to make her a general or anything, it is just so that she can have many topics to communicate with her husband in the future.
At the same time, the European continent is very chaotic. Sometimes it is normal for men to do other things except fighting.
But often, when men are not at home, their homes will be attacked by some horse thieves or bandit groups. Therefore, the hostess who stays behind at home must take on the necessary responsibilities at this time.
At such a time, a hostess who knows some military knowledge becomes very necessary.
It is for this reason that noble girls on the European continent have to learn some relevant knowledge since they were young.
"Well, I discovered the movements of the enemies in the city, so what do you think?"
Zhao Hongyu asked after hearing this.
He also wanted to know what Sara saw.
For Zhao Hongyu, in fact, he does not want his woman to be a vase.
Now with the development of the empire, the empire will definitely become larger and larger in the future.
When the time comes, there will be no way to completely handle those government affairs just relying on the words of him, Song Hu, Zhang Tie, Wang Shan, and Professor Liu.
Therefore, ifIf Sarah and Emma had some outstanding abilities, they would definitely be able to share a lot of things for him in the future.
Although there are many middle- and low-level civil servants of Chinese origin in the empire, after all, some important decisions still require high-level decisions.
Youdao means that one more person means one more idea and one more strength.
Sarah didn¡¯t know what her little man was thinking about now. She just felt that since she had followed this little man and married him.
So, now I have to be responsible for him and share some things with him.
Making a vase?
Sarah felt that she could not make a vase.
¡°And Sara also knows very well that the war here in Kyushu is very important to her side.
Once their military operation in Kyushu fails, there will be some troubles for their future development in the east.
Sarah doesn¡¯t want any accidents to happen, so when she needs to remind herself, she should remind her.
In addition to being responsible for the little man, doing this is also responsible for yourself.
"It seems that the enemy is preparing to hold on to the end of the fourth layer of defense circle and prepare to fight us head-on." Sarah expressed her judgment, "Our troops entering the city are still too weak now. Through I looked through the telescope and found that the enemy's garrison strength is still very considerable, which is a bit too good for us. If our attack is frustrated, I think it will have a huge blow to morale."
Basically, Sara guessed Saburo Toyaya¡¯s intentions correctly.
And after Zhao Hongyu heard what Sara said, a trace of smile appeared on his face.
In fact, it was not just Sarah who saw through Toyotani Saburo's intentions, Zhao Hongyu himself also saw through Toyotani Saburo's next plan.
¡°No one is a fool, especially Zhao Hongyu.
"You are right, the garrison commander in the city did have this idea." Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly and agreed with Sarah's statement. When Sara saw that Zhao Hongyu agreed with her guess, she said anxiously: "Then what we need to do now is to increase our troops. Otherwise, with the current strength of the troops in the city, they cannot be the opponent of the defenders."
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu holds a different opinion.
As the person who knows the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards best, he would not believe that the defenders of Shiliang City were his opponents.
After all, the defenders of Shiliang City were still using cold weapons, while their own troops were already using flintlock weapons that were beyond this era.
With this alone, the defenders of Shiliang City cannot be the opponent of the two thousand-man Imperial Guards in the city.
Of course, the enemy may cause some minor troubles to us with unique defensive facilities, but it is impossible to stop the army's attack.
Zhao Hongyu still firmly believes in this.
It¡¯s just that there are some things that can¡¯t be said clearly to Sara. After all, some things are already secrets.
Seeing Sara's anxious look, Zhao Hongyu comforted her and said, "Don't worry so much. The fall of Shiliang City has been going on for some time. I can't tell you the details, but what I can tell you is victory." It will definitely belong to us.¡±
??In fact, Sarah is convinced that her side will eventually win.
However, Sara felt that if more troops were not sent into the city immediately, even if the eastern castle was captured by then, her side would suffer great losses.
??For our own side, this is a very costly thing.
You must know that the enemy we are facing now is not just the defender of Shiliang City.
In the future, they will have to face other lords and daimyo from all over Kyushu.
Now, they are just attacking a castle in the eastern part of Satsuma Domain. After taking this castle, God knows how many such fortresses there are in Satsuma Domain, and how many enemies they will encounter on the way to attack.
Therefore, now they must preserve the integrity of their forces to face future problems.
If they consume too much of their troops under Shiliang City, it will become troublesome if they encounter most of the enemies in the future, or another Eastern castle that is difficult to conquer.
Sarah¡¯s considerations and worries are not unreasonable.
However, what Sara didn¡¯t understand was that the reason why Zhao Hongyu did this was because he relied on him.
Zhao Hongyu is not a fool, there is no way he could not have thought of what Sarah said.All these issues of concern.
"Dear, I also firmly believe that victory will definitely belong to us. But I am worried that the enemy will cause heavy casualties to our soldiers in the fourth layer of defense circle with complete defense facilities and defensive equipment." Sarah said seriously. She looked at Zhao Hongyu and directly stated the issue she was worried about so that Zhao Hongyu could have a clear understanding.
When Zhao Hongyu saw Sara¡¯s face turned serious and serious, he also put away his playful smile.
"Under such a castle, if we lose too many troops, it will cause great inconvenience to our future military operations." Sara continued. "Therefore, I suggest that it is best to put the troops into action as soon as possible while the enemy has not yet completed their deployment and we still have the advantage, so as to expand the results in a short time."
After saying that, Sara looked at Zhao Hongyu steadily, waiting for his next response. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
