Bang!

Rumble!

Watching the high oil bomb fly up and smash into the wooden bars on the opposite side, it instantly burned like a hellish flame, engulfing it entirely, and the face of the Oni Yiyi Sutra was full of wood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's not just him, but even the Yamanaka Kanosuke next to him is like this.

"Fire Demon! O demon of fire! ”

"Gods and Buddhas, please punish the enemy on the other side!"

Even though some fire prevention measures were prepared, it was still a drop in the bucket under the flames, and the ashigaru in the wooden wall screamed and crumbled, and occasionally samurai and swordsmen launched a final charge.

"Kill!"

"Haha...... Our ghost family is invincible! ”

Contrary to the general who led the troops, the ashigaru of the Oni family saw this scene, but the morale was extremely high, especially after the iron cannon team sent all the several samurai who charged to the western sky, and it reached a certain peak.

"This fanatical ......"

When the ghost Yiyi saw the flame in Ashigaru's eyes, he was deeply afraid.

Knowing that these days, the burning of thirteen resisting wooden bars in a row has erected the supreme confidence of the boss in their hearts!

The quality of an army that has won every battle is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is from this constant victory, no matter how powerful the enemy, is built up in the confidence that it is destroyed under the iron heel!

The current ghost army undoubtedly has such a little prototype!

Needless to say, the fifteen hundred ashigaru of the ghost family, even the ashigaru army of other wealthy families were also infiltrated by this fanatical thought.

But the heads of the families were helpless.

If they can break down more than a dozen cities in a row without losing a single person, they can naturally reap this awe.

"Thirteen cities were burned in a row, and five wealthy families were destroyed......"

A trace of unbearability appeared on Yamanaka's face: "Although the surrounding wealthy clans and people are afraid and dare not be enemies of their own family anymore, they have also deeply planted the seeds of fear and hatred...... You must counsel your lord! ”

He came to Wu Ming's mount, but saw that Wu Ming's face remained unchanged, the flames were reflected on his face, and he was still smiling.

"Haha...... Yamanaka Kanosuke, you see that those heads of the family who tried to send troops to resist me, or watched my jokes, I'm afraid that even their faces are green now, right? ”

Wu Ming's eyes were condensed, and he was not moved by the tragedy that happened in front of him: "After breaking this castle, it will be Guangli Castle in Ohara County, and this city is ruled by the Ikeda family, a lineage minister of the Yiyu family, hehe...... The ninja has sent a message that he has rejected my kindness and is ready to resist stubbornly! ”

"My lord, the current Ohara-gun, although most of them are prostrate at your feet in awe of your power, it is time for them to see your benevolence......"

Yamanaka Kanosuke gritted his teeth.

"Oh?"

Wu Ming was noncommittal, and asked the ghost Yiyi Sutra next to him: "What is your opinion?" ”

"Since the fire ninja attacked, there have been thirteen wealthy clans in Ohara County who have surrendered to their own family, and I think they can also mobilize Ashigaru to participate in the war, so that they can justifiably share the spoils of war, and presumably after getting the benefits, they will be more closely tied to their own chariot, right?"

Ghost Yiyi thought for a while, and said slowly: "After all...... Hirosato Castle is a bigger castle than Numata Castle! ”

"Haha...... I didn't say it explicitly, but you're admonishing me! ”

Wu Ming laughed: "Don't worry!" This family governor is not a person who only knows how to be tyrannical, and appropriate co-optation and compromise are necessary, but it is definitely not now...... It's your suggestion to have the other families mobilize their forces for the war is very good, and I've already asked Kotaro Mochizuki to do it! ”

"The timing is ...... Could it be after the attack on Gwangli Castle? ”

Yamanaka Kanosuke couldn't help but say.

"Not bad...... When the time comes, how about increasing the knowledge and action of each family? Surely they must be happy, right? ”

"The heads of each family must not ask for it, and they will be loyal to their own family!"

Yamanaka Shikanosuke and Oniichi Yoshitsu both spoke in unison.

After all, what could be more rewarding than a hereditary domain?

"That's it...... Under the command of this family, the power of the wealthy clan will also expand more and more......"

The Oniichi Yoshitsune has already begun to think about the aftermath of the war.

"yes...... That's why it's a must! Expand their knowledge and deeds, and then arrange them to other counties! It's not enough to swap Iishi-gun and Ohara-gun! At the very least, the entire Izumo country, or even other regions, must be conquered in order to do it in one fell swoop! ”

A dark color appeared in Wu Ming's eyes.

This kind of local wealthy clan and countrymen, just like the heroes and powers of the Great Zhou world, privately keep their families, hide bows and arrows and armor, and build dock forts, all of which are unstable factors in troubled times.

But half of the power of this big family lies in the land resources in its hands, and half in the hearts of the people!

Once you move to other environments, even if the land expands, your strength will still be cut in half!

After all, it is not an overnight thing to hide the prestige of the people, secretly gain the people's strength, and take root.

Now the same is true for the wealthy clan and the people, just like the Western Han Dynasty in Wu Ming's previous life, who moved the wealthy family to the emperor's mausoleum several times, and rectified the world's powerful and powerful to the point of wanting immortals and death, which is also the only way to strengthen centralized power.

……

Guangli City is in sight.

"This is the largest castle in Ohara-gun? Sure enough! ”

Wu Ming looked at a big city on the plain not far away, and bowed his head slightly.

This Hirosato Castle is larger than Numata Castle, and has four layers of defense, the outermost Shinomaru is made of stones, which is one foot high, and there are Sannomaru, Ninomaru, and Honmaru Castle Tower, which is an extremely strong fortress at first glance.

On the opposite side, Wu Ming's army of 5,000 had already set up a formation, with swords and guns out of their sheaths, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

"Lord! In Hirosato Castle, the Ikeda family mobilized 3,000 ashigaru, and the governor of the family, Ikeda Masa, I have vowed to defend it to the death! ”

Kotaro Mochizuki next to him said.

"Hmm...... Do you already have the consciousness of mortality? ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly: "This is to prepare to consume the family as much as possible, and buy time for the Yi Yu family to rectify the army behind......"

He waved his hand: "You show the information to the others!" ”

Oni Yiyijing and Yamanaka Kanosuke took the letter, and after looking at a few columns, their faces changed: "The Yi Yu family is rectifying the military situation, which is normal, but such a big thing happened in An Yi Guozhong?" The Daizoji family, which my family secretly supported, was defeated, and the Maori family has besieged the Five Dragons Castle......"

"yes...... If we don't capture Izumo Province before the Daizoji family is destroyed, we will lose the opportunity to compete with the Mori family...... Everybody's in the hunt for time......"

Wu Ming sighed, his gaze turned firm, and he slashed his military fan: "Attack!" Order the 2,000 legions formed by the thirteen powerful families who took refuge in Ohara County to take the lead in attacking the city, and you will take the iron artillery team and the big gun team to supervise the formation in the rear! ”

When Yamanaka Kanosuke heard this order, the expression on his face moved.

These two thousand troops were all formed by the newly surrendered wealthy clans of Ohara County, and the degree of loyalty and arming was the lowest, and they were not trustworthy, so it was a matter of course to weaken them at this time.

'Moreover, the Iron Artillery Brigade and the Great Gun Brigade are probably not only used to suppress the fortress, but also to kill deserters, right? ’

Iron cannons and big guns can not only suppress the bows and arrows at the head of the city, but also kill the supreme weapons of deserters!

Yamanaka Kanosuke closed his eyes and knew that these thirteen wealthy clan coalition forces had no other way to go than to fight to the death or die in battle.

"Let the family show you your loyalty!"

Hearing the order brought by the Ghost Yiyi Sutra, the alliance of the thirteen wealthy clans fluctuated for a while, but the iron artillery team with heavy guns behind them, as well as the three thousand troops that were eyeing them, still made them obey the order, and with fierce flames in their eyes, they rushed towards Guangli City.

"Kill!"

On the castle wall, the bow commander shouted, and many ashigaru shot the bows and arrows in their hands.

After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen of the besiegers fell, and the rest of the ashigaru panicked, some rushed straight to the city, and some quietly retreated, and their formations were scattered.

"Iron Artillery Team, shoot!"

Seeing this, Oniichi Yoshitsune waved his hand mercilessly, and after a burst of smoke and sparks, the fleeing Ashigaru was shot one after another, effectively deterring the rest of the people.

"The first team, advance a hundred meters, attack the tower, and suppress their bows and arrows!"

After punishing the deserters, Kiyichi Yoshitsune did his duty a little and ordered the Iron Artillery to suppress the archers of Guangli Castle.

"Oops...... Is this the power of the local tycoons? What a disappointment for me......"

Wu Ming smiled at the Yamanaka Shikanosuke on the side: "There is only the so-called 'pig rush' tactic, and I don't know how to cooperate at all, and I don't know how to make utensils...... The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools! ”

The tragic situation on the other side continues, but the lord can still talk and laugh like this, this kind of demeanor really makes Yamanaka Kanosuke feel ashamed, so he can only nod his head again and again.

"Although these local wealthy families are not trustworthy, they are also the strength of their own families, and they can't be lost in vain...... When this wave comes down, you can hand over the ladders, wooden carts, and some simple siege equipment prepared by your army to them! ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly, his eyes seemed to be the god king who ruled heaven and earth, this deep and unfathomable instrument immediately made the people around him fear and surrender.

……

The fierce siege lasted for two days.

The fight between blood and fire, under Guangli City, has not stopped for a moment.

"Big guns! Put! ”

"Stormtroopers, rush! Take the ladder! ”

With all kinds of new weapons in the battle, the besieging side suffered heavy losses, and the defending side also suffered heavy casualties, and several lines of defense were crumbling.

"Lord! After three days of siege, the Hao clan has lost almost half of its ......"

At this time, the Ghost Yiyi Sutra told Wu Ming with a worried face: "Even if my family has an army of 3,000, I can't suppress it anymore......"

"This is natural, I'm afraid that now in their camp, not only Ashigaru, but even the samurai and the family governor are regretting taking refuge in their own family, right?"

Wu Ming smiled coldly. (To be continued.) )
