Chapter one hundred and seventy-one
Bang!
boom!
Watching the tall oil bombs fly up and fall into the opposite Muzhai, instantly burning a hellish flame, swallowing it up, the face of Gui Yiyijing was filled with a wooden look.
Not only him, but even Kanosuke Yamaakaya next to him, was like this.
"The evil ghost of fire! The evil ghost of fire!"
"God and Buddha, please punish the enemy on the other side!"
Even though some fire prevention measures were prepared, under the flames, the footsteps in the Mu Village shouted and kept collapsing. Occasionally, warriors and swordsmen launched the final charge.
"kill!"
"Haha... Our ghost family is invincible!"
In contrast to the generals who led the troops, the morale of the Gui family was extremely high when they saw this scene, especially after sending all the warriors to the West with their iron cannons, they reached a certain peak.
"This kind of fanaticism..."
When Gui Yiyijing saw the flames in Zu Qing's eyes, he was deeply afraid.
Knowing that these days, the thirteen Muzhai that had been resisting in a row had already established the invincible supreme confidence of the head coach in their hearts!
A army that is victorious in every battle, the quality is one aspect, and on the other hand, it is built from the continuous victory, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is built in the confidence that it is destroyed under the iron hoof!
The current Ghost Army undoubtedly has such a prototype!
Needless to say, the Gui family's 1,500 foot-light corps were infiltrated by this fanatical thought.
But the heads of each family have nothing to do.
If they can break more than a dozen cities without losing one person, they will naturally gain this awe.
"The thirteen cities and villages were burned in a row, and five wealthy families were destroyed..."
A hint of unbearableness appeared on Kanosuke Yamaakana: "Although the surrounding wealthy families and the people were afraid and dared not be enemies with our family anymore, they also deeply planted the seeds of fear and hatred... We must persuade the lord!"
He came to Wu Ming's mount, but saw that Wu Ming's expression remained unchanged, the flames reflected on his face, and he still had a smile.
"Haha...Yanaka Kanosuke, look at the heads of the family who tried to send troops to resist the joke, I'm afraid even their faces are green now, right?"
Wu Ming's eyes were calm and he was not moved by the tragedy that happened before: "After breaking this village, it will be Guangli Castle in Ohara County. This city is ruled by the Ikeda family, the Ikeda family, the genealogy of the Yiyu family. Hehe... The news came from the ninja that he had rejected my kindness and was ready to resist stubbornly!"
"The Lord, although the current Ohara County is awe of your strength and most of it is crawling at your feet, it is time for them to see your benevolent government..."
Kanosuke Yamaakaya gritted his teeth and said.
"oh?"
Wu Ming asked Gui Yiyijing next to him without comment: "What about your opinion?"
"Since the attack of the Huobu Ninja, thirteen wealthy families in Ohara County have expressed their surrender to our family. I think they can also mobilize them to join the war, so that they can be distributed to their trophy with just a legitimate reason. I believe that after getting the benefits, they will be tied to their chariots more closely, right?"
Gui Yiyijing thought about it and said slowly: "After all, Guangli Castle is a larger city than Numata Castle!"
"Haha... Although I didn't say it clearly, you are also advising me!"
Wu Ming laughed: "Don't worry! This family governor is not a person who only knows how to be cruel. Appropriate win-win and compromise are necessary, but it is definitely not now... Your suggestion to let other families mobilize military forces to participate in the war is very good. I have asked Kotaro Morizuki to do it!"
"This opportunity...is it after attacking Guangli City?"
Kanosuke Yamaakana couldn't help but say.
"Good...will you add knowledge to every company? I guess they will be very happy, right?"
"Each family leader must be unsuccessful and is loyal to our family!"
Yamaakashi Kanosuke and Gui Yiyi Sutra both said in unison.
After all, what else can compare to the reward of hereditary territory?
"Just this happens... the power of the wealthy family will expand even more..."
The Ghost Yiyijing has already begun to consider the post-war affairs.
"Yes... Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the seal! Expand their knowledge and practices, and then arrange them to other counties! The exchange between Iishi County and Ohara County is not enough! At least it must be conquered the entire Izumo Kingdom, or even other regions, so that you can take action in one move!"
A dark look appeared in Wu Ming's eyes.
Such local tyrants and Chinese people are like the powerful people in the Great Zhou world. They privately accumulate servants, hide bows, arrows, and armor, and build forts. They are all unstable factors in times of troubled times.
But half of the power of such a big family lies in the land resources they control, and half of it lies in the hearts of the people!
Once moved to other environments, even if the land is expanded, the strength will still be reduced by half!
After all, it is not a matter of one day or one night to hide its might in the hearts of the people, secretly gain the people's strength, and take root.
The same is true for the current transfer of the noble family and the people of the country. Just like in the Western Han Dynasty in Wu Ming's previous life, he moved the noble family to the imperial tombs several times, and cured the powerful people in the world to the celestial world and wanted to die. This is also a necessary way to strengthen centralization.
...
Guangli City is in sight.
"This is the largest city in Ohara County? It's really good!"
Wu Ming looked at a big city on the plain not far away, with a slight head.
This Guangli Castle is a larger circle than the Numata Castle, with four layers of defense. The outermost Sinomatsu is piled with stones, and is one meter high. There are also Sannomatsu, Ninomatsu, and Honmatsu Tenshou Pavilion inside, which is obviously an extremely strong fortress.
On the opposite side, Wu Ming's army of five thousand had already set off his troops, and his swords and guns were unsheathed, with murderous aura.
"Master! In Guangli City, the Ikeda family mobilized three thousand feet. The family governor Ikeda Masahiro Ikeda has already vowed to defend the death!"
Kotaro Morizuki next to him reported.
"Well... have you already realized that you must die?"
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "This is to try to consume our family's best efforts and buy time for the Yi Yu family to rectify the army later..."
He waved his hand: "You show the information to others!"
Gui Yijing and Yamaakana Kanosuke took the letter paper, and after looking at a few lines, his expression changed: "It is normal for the Yiyu family to rectify the military situation, but such a big thing happened in Anyi's junior high school? The Dazaoji family, which I secretly supported, was defeated and had been surrounded by the Maori family..."
"Yes... If we can't capture Izumo Kingdom before the demise of the Osakaji family, we will lose the opportunity to compete for power with the Maori family... Everyone is fighting for time..."
Wu Ming murmured and sighed, his eyes turned firm, and he slashed with a military fan: "Attack! Order the two thousand armies formed by the thirteen powerful families who surrendered to the city first. Gui Yijing, you will lead the iron cannon team and the big gun team to supervise the formation in the rear!"
When Kanosuke Yamaaka heard this order, his expression moved.
These two thousand military forces were formed by the newly defected Ohara County tyrants. Their loyalty and armedness were the lowest, and they were not trustworthy. It was natural to use them to weaken them at this time.
‘And, the iron cannon team and the large gun team are probably not only used to suppress the city, but also used to kill deserters?’
Iron cannons and large guns can not only suppress bows and arrows on the city, but also the supreme weapon to kill deserters!
Kanosuke Yamaaka closed his eyes and knew that the thirteen powerful coalition forces had to fight to the death or die in battle, and there was no other way to go.
"Let me see your loyalty!"
Hearing the order brought by the Gui Yijing, the thirteen powerful coalition forces fluctuated, but the iron cannons behind them, and the three thousand troops staring at them, still made them obey the orders, and rushed towards Guangli City with fierce flames in their eyes.
"kill!"
On the city wall, General Gong shouted, and many feet shot out the bows and arrows in his hands.
After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen people siege the city fell down, and the others were panicked. Some rushed straight to the city, while others quietly retreated, and their teams were scattered.
"Iron Cannon Team, shoot!"
Seeing this, Gui Yiyijing waved his hand mercilessly. After a burst of smoke and sparks, the fleeing foot was shot and killed, effectively shocking the rest of the people.
"The first team, advance one hundred meters, attack the city tower, and suppress their bows and arrows!"
After punishing the deserter, Gui Yiyijing still performed his duties slightly and ordered the iron artillery team to suppress the archers in Guangli City.
"Oh...Is this the power of the local tyrants? It really disappoints me..."
Wu Ming smiled at Kanosuke Yamaakana and said, "Only the so-called 'pig burst' tactics are the ones who don't know how to cooperate at all, and they can't make utensils... The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools!"
The opposite side was full of miserable phenomena, but the Lord could still talk and laugh like this. This kind of demeanor really made Kanosuke Yamaaka feel inferior, so he could only nod and say yes.
"Although these local tyrants are not trustworthy, they are still the strength of their family, and they cannot be lost in vain... After this wave comes, you will hand over the ladders, wooden cars, and some simple siege equipment prepared by our army to them!"
Wu Ming smiled faintly, and his eyes looked like the God King who ruled the heaven and earth. This deep and unpredictable weapon immediately made everyone around him frightened and surrendered.
...
The tragic siege lasted for two days.
The battle between blood and fire never stopped under Guangli City.
"Big gun! Let it go!"
"Stormtrooper, rush! Take the ladder!"
With all kinds of new weapons, the siege side suffered heavy losses, and the defending side suffered heavy casualties, and several lines of defense were shaky.
"Master! After three days of siege, the wealthy army has lost almost half of it..."
At this time, Gui Yiyijing reported to Wu Ming with a worried look on his face: "Even if our family has three thousand troops, it can't be suppressed..."
"This is natural. I'm afraid that in their camp now, not only the samurai and the governor regretted joining the family, right?"
Wu Ming smiled coldly. (To be continued.)
