A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 725 8. Sanada sees through the torii strategy

Torii Goemon volunteered to go to the city to persuade him to surrender, and his sincerity was beyond words.

"Hahahahahahaha..." Kodaira couldn't help but laugh, and Torii Jon'emon looked puzzled as he laughed.

The entire room full of Yamauchi Bunmu also laughed along with Heita, and looked at Torii Jon'emon as a fool. How long has this been, and is there still any need to persuade him to surrender?

The bottom line is that Torii Goemon ran out of the city to contact Okazaki that night when he filled in the moat, and did not see the two cannons on the earth platform performing a final roll call on the city. If we go by normal circumstances, Nagashino Castle and the Honmaru at the top of the cliff are almost the same as an iron barrel and cannot be knocked down in three to five days.

However, once the city soldiers were killed by the Yamauchi army, three-quarters of them were killed, leaving Honmaru with almost no soldiers left to fight. Secondly, the Yamauchi Army had already launched a round-the-clock battle in the city. From Okuhira Samasa below, everyone in the city was extremely tired and sleepy. After more than four days of high-intensity fighting, those who had almost no rest could fall asleep standing up.

"Kōemon, I might as well tell you straight, by the time our troops finish their breakfast and start their drums, Nagashino will have broken the city. What's the point of trying to persuade them to surrender?"

Pointing at Nagashino, who was the only Honmaru still flying the flag, Koheita even asked someone to lift Torii Jon'emon up so that he could see more clearly, so as not to think that Koheita was deceiving him.

There are two deeper reasons. One is that Nagashinojo has already promised to Suganuma Masada. He is the first to be a second-fifth boy and can be regarded as a "role model" on the road to Luo in the future. Since he has promised him, he must really do it. Give.

The second is that Nagashino is a chicken and must be shot down so that the monkeys who are still watching behind can see clearly that the Yamauchi family is fully capable of killing you completely, it just depends on whether you understand the situation or not.

"The dismounted heavenly soldiers are precious. It's a pity to injure one of them. It's better to persuade him to surrender." Torii Qian'emon's mind turned quickly and he came up with a very appropriate reason.

The disciples of Yamauchi are all Ashikaga Yoshiaki is preparing to bring to Luoyang. The capital to rule the world is indeed a precious power that will make him feel distressed if any one of them dies.

"I'm afraid you want to enter the city so much to inform the city that reinforcements have arrived!" A loud shout suddenly came to mind.

Sanada Masayuki, who was serving rice for everyone, took a rice spoon and pointed it directly at Torii Jonemon. Although the image was a bit funny, the question was stern.

"Huh?" Hosokawa Saime immediately came over after hearing Sanada Masayuki's words.

After all, he was a fierce general who had been killing people for more than ten years. Even if he didn't use many tricks, he knew that Sanada Masayuki was saying that Torii Goemon was faking surrender and deceiving the Yamauchi generals.

Hosokawa Saime walked up to Torii Goemon and glared. The look in her eyes was a bit scary for Heita. After all, her uncle had hundreds of lives in his hands.

"You don't dare! You don't dare!" Torii Kon'emon immediately knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head.

At first, when he didn't say anything clearly, the generals in the tent just regarded him as a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. But now that he said it, the perception was a little different.

Koheita tilted his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Masayuki Sanada. Sanada Masayuki raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his eyes. The two of them had a clear understanding.

"Dan Zheng has noticed it a long time ago, right?"

"You're not slow either!"

"I'll give in, I'll give in, I'm still one step behind!"

"I admire you!"

"I also admire Tanzheng very much!"

Although they didn't say a word, the two old Yinbi had already completed the whole process of complimenting and pretending to each other in the electric light.

"Hmph, let me show you the Three Drums Falling into the City!" After leaving the man behind, Hosokawa Saime stopped talking nonsense with him.

I persuaded you to surrender before, but you said I would wait here for you to attack from three sides, and I would give you a head-on blow. Even if you want to surrender now, you can only apologize.

Go on your way with peace of mind!

After the army had breakfast, each team slowly began to move. Those who had played chariots with Chang Xiao yesterday had withdrawn. Hosokawa Saime just finished her words. Of course she wanted to supervise the selection of the armies for battle.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that since I had spoken so loudly, I had to do it three times. No matter how difficult it was, I couldn't lose face. Simply let Sanada Masayuki lead the Hosokawa team in person.

My son-in-law's ability goes without saying, it is obvious to all. In addition, as a member of Hatamoto, he also represents Ashikaga Yoshiaki who commander Hatakemoto to a certain extent. If he fails to defeat him, it will be his own fault. If the fight is successful, then the Shogunki Monogatari can be said to be Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself commanding the thunderous strike against Nagashino.

"Look!" Not afraid of Torii Goemon running away, Hosokawa Saime untied him and picked up Ishikawa Narumatsu, who had been captured before, along the way to have a good look at how the Yamauchi army destroyed the city.

The cannon on the outer Maru earth platform began to fire. Due to the shooting angle, the cannon could not hit the main Maru, but it was no problem to bombard the city foundation and intimidate the city soldiers.

The problem of the narrow reserved area for Nagashinomoto Maru Shita's attack was difficult to overcome with manpower. After all, we were on the edge of the cliff where two rivers met, and there was no way. Now we can only weaken the city soldiers in other ways to achieve the purpose of strengthening our own side.

If the historical Takeda Katsuyori were here, Okuhira Sadamasa would definitely not surrender, because he betrayed and betrayed the Takeda family after Takeda Katsuyori succeeded to the throne. He can be regarded as the first of the new king to succeed to the throne. Jump out and slap you in the face.

Takeda Katsuyori would be shameless if he didn’t kill him! When you go out in the future, you will be able to say that Takeda Katsuyori is really rubbish. Okuhira Sadamasa is a big-assed man. He can't clean up after his rebellion. He is just a waste, not as good as his father Takeda Shingen.

But there is no need for Yamauchi. There is no grudge between the three parties of the Yamauchi family and the Yamauchi family, nor is there any subordinate relationship. He has always been under the command of the Tokugawa clan.

In fact, the generals in the mountains used war to promote peace, forcing Okuhira Sadamasa in the city to give up the idea of ​​​​resistance and voluntarily withdraw from the city. After all, people die in wars. Torii Jon'emon said it right. Every death is a pity.

As long as the castle is handed over and Okuhira Sadamasa and the castle soldiers are spared, there is actually no big problem. Just drive them back to Okazaki. After all, they were Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law. How could Tokugawa Ieyasu not take them in?

But right now, regardless of whether the 115,000 troops Torii Goemon said was true, Oda Nobunaga must have sent reinforcements, so there was no time to hesitate. We must solve Nagashino's problem today, and then attack Okazaki tomorrow.

In front of the upcoming main force of Oda Nobunaga, there cannot be such a thorn stuck in the food road behind the Yamauchi army. Just like something stuck in your throat, you must get rid of it quickly!

When the gunfire stopped, Sanada Masayuki put on his helmet and prepared to charge into the city. Suddenly a warrior jumped out of the city and shouted "Peace! Peace!"
