A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

At this moment, in Nirasaki Castle, an ashigaru who came to fetch water wailed in horror. The well in the city, which had a shallow pool of water even in the year of drought, was actually empty.

Soon Kansuke Yamamoto came to the well. He stared at the deep and invisible well and threw a short wooden stick down. What came out was not the sound of "pop" hitting the water, but the dull sound of "dong" hitting the ground.

In fact, the people in the city are not blind. They have long discovered that the Yamauchi army outside the city is going to war. The ignorant Ashigaru at the bottom may not know what the Yamauchi army is doing because of their lack of knowledge. Yamamoto Kansuke is a capable man who is good at building cities.

Those who are good at building cities are certainly good at attacking them. The Yamauchi army was digging deep ditches outside the city, and he could tell at a glance that they were looking for water veins from the wells in the city. Originally, he thought that even if there were many soldiers in the mountain, it would take at least three to five days to dig three feet around the city. In addition, trying to find underground water veins will take several more days, and the time will not be too short.

This time comes and goes, at least ten days. It was enough for Takeda Harunobu to return to Kaiji Uzakikan to regroup and bring three to four thousand people back to face the enemy.

But in just one day, the Yamauchi army outside the city just set a fire, and thunderous cheers came. Kansuke Yamamoto knew something was wrong. The Yamauchi army must have discovered the underground vein and dug it out.

The current scene just confirmed what Yamamoto Kansuke was thinking. The sound of the stick falling was dull, without the agility of hitting the water. There was really not a drop of water left in the well, it was completely empty.

Yamamoto Kansuke's heart was shaken wildly, and a turbulent wave of thoughts arose. But he couldn't show it. As a city general, if he panicked, the city would be destroyed in three to five days. So he remained calm on the surface and pretended to be extremely calm.

"It's just that there is no water in the well. I have a way to deal with it. You can rest assured." After saying that, he turned and left without giving the soldiers a chance to ask questions.

How could the soldiers feel at ease, but Kansuke Yamamoto turned around and disappeared. The soldiers standing by the well looked at each other and couldn't help but panic.

Of course, Nirasaki Castle is not completely out of water. A large reservoir has been built in the city to collect accumulated water from rain and snow. Nowadays, there is a spring rain from time to time, which can save some water. In addition, there are still some water in the city. Some water tanks also have some water in their buckets. With this water alone, three hundred people can drink it for two or three days without any problem, but what about after two or three days?

Xiaopingtai did not have clairvoyance, nor did he have ears for the wind. He could neither see the despair of the city's water supply being cut off, nor hear the soldiers' wails because of no water. But you can imagine what this kind of thing looks like just thinking about it. Being thirsty for half a day can bring down a strong man, let alone two or three days.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiaoping couldn't help but feel happy. The famous generals in history were just like this! "You, Yamamoto Kansuke, are so cunning and cunning, but you still have to drink my own foot-washing water, hahahahaha."

"What's the use of being disgusted by Cheng Xiu? If you have the ability, you can make it rain every day and give you one more second." Xiao Pingtai now looks like he has succeeded in his evil plan. With that not-so-pretty look on his face, he looks really good. The image of a major villain in TV series and movies. That rascal! No makeup required at all.

The generals of the Yamauchi clan also enjoyed the rare leisure time during the continuous battle, horse racing. Yamauchi Yoshiharu saw that Nirasaki's water veins were cut off, and he was ready to listen to Koheita's wishes and leave him alone for three days. After three days, the drinking water in the city is completely exhausted, and then people will be sent into the city to persuade them to surrender.

After all, a person's desire to live is most intense before death. At that time, even if they were given a spoonful of poisonous wine, a very thirsty person would grab it and drink it. Being able to quench their hunger and thirst for a few seconds was something they could only hope for.

In the past three days, the Yamauchi army was able to wreak havoc in North Kafi like a master. First, they ordered the collection of danbei and suspension money from each village. Take a look at Nirasaki. These villages have taken control of themselves, so it is inconvenient for them to hunt randomly. But it is still necessary to extort some money and rice, noodles and pickled vegetables. Let them know that Kai Fei will soon change his master.

It’s not that we don’t care about people’s strength and cultivation, that’s just the current situation. No matter how cruel and rubbish the previous generation of lords was, the new lords just can't compare to the previous generation. No matter how benevolent you are, you can't compare to the scum of the previous generation. If the new leaders don't show off their muscles, maybe these people will go to work.

This did not make the soldiers excited. They were very active when doing these things. Yamauchi Yoshiharu just reiterated the two most important orders. After not trampling on the spring plowed fields and not killing anyone, the soldiers took turns going out in groups to "collect supplies" and "gather grain and grass"!

The soldiers of the Yamauchi clan first walked for several days in extremely cold weather with temperatures in the teens and 10s, and then fought a hard battle with tens of thousands of armored troops in Kamitawara. Finally, when they waited for this day, they were almost like locusts. Well, except for the two prohibitions of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, there is nothing they dare not do.

If you just take everything from someone's house, there's nothing they don't want, except for people who can't be robbed and houses that can't be moved. That's a very dark move.

But the soldiers were laughing and laughing. Yamauchi Yoshiharu could lead them to victory in battles and make them rich. This thing! That prestige! At this time, whoever dares to tell them that Yamauchi Yoshihiro is not good, they can just draw a knife and hack you to death.

Three days passed quickly, and most of the soldiers grabbed a lot of money. Everyone sat down again, preparing to discuss who should go to the city to persuade them to surrender. Now, trying to persuade them to surrender is just like playing. A man who has been thirsty for three days can't even lift a knife, so all the credit he gained was in vain.

At this time, everyone can no longer argue. The idea of ​​​​attacking the city was Xiaopingtai's idea. It was Xiaopingtai who found a way to dig out the water veins. The credit should be attributed to Xiaopingtai.

Everyone still has this quality of civility and courtesy. Xiao Pingtai also happened to want to go to the city to see this legendary military advisor, so he happily agreed.

As for the conditions, they are quite generous. All the city soldiers can be saved, and the city general Kansuke Yamamoto can also secure the blockade. Of course, he would take these two to three hundred people as the vanguard, and in turn help the Yamauchi army to attack Uzakikan.

Since Hokahata University was familiar with many situations of the Takeda family retainers, they also went to the city with Koheita to persuade them to surrender, so Nirasaki must be allowed to open the city without blood. Then everyone can hum and sing songs and happily go to Tsuzakikan.

Koheita and Kitahata University rode horses and swung to the bottom of the city. The soldiers carried him up in a basket (the city gate was blocked), but as soon as he entered the city, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the soldiers in the city.
