At this time, Tokawa Shunci suddenly felt that the surroundings became quiet, and the sounds of fighting and screams that originally echoed through the sky suddenly seemed to disappear.
He raised his head with dull eyes and saw Du Fei's army in dark blue military uniforms all around him. Each of them was holding a bright long stick and was quietly approaching the last resister.
Toga Shunji smiled sadly, grabbed a short knife from the ground, and untied his abdominal armor.
Du Fei saw this scene with a telescope and couldn't help but sigh: The Sanhao family is indeed full of good generals!
I don’t know if I’ve gotten into big trouble this time.
Although the city was broken, Du Fei was not in a relaxed mood. In this battle, more than a thousand people from the Sanhao Army defending the city were killed, and they survived. He also suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
This was not the victory he was looking for. In his opinion, he actually lost this battle. Just one city cost nearly a thousand troops. Within the four kingdoms, the Mihaoshi family's territory was so vast, with six large cities alone.
There are countless small towns! If they all fight like this, even if Du Fei gets all the territory of the Miyoshi family in Shikoku, he will be the only commander left.
After the war, Du Fei suspended his offensive. He began to send a ninja team headed by Obata to conduct a careful investigation of the remaining Miyoshi Castle. He also sent spies to continuously spy on the Miyoshi family's battle with the Oda army near Nijo Castle.
After careful investigation, Du Fei learned that Oda Nobunaga had successfully won the battle with the Miyoshi family, and took advantage of the situation to capture Nijo Castle, which symbolizes the power of the world.
But Oda Nobunaga certainly would not be satisfied with the status quo. On the one hand, he ordered Shibata Katsuie and others to continue the attack on the Miyoshi family, and on the other hand, he personally contacted the public to discuss Ashikaga Yoshiaki's succession to the throne.
At this time, although the Mihaoshi family was very angry with Du Fei for taking advantage of the situation, they had no time to look elsewhere.
Because Oda Nobunaga's offensive is getting stronger and stronger! It is likely to annihilate the Miyoshi family in one fell swoop! If it weren't for the smoky atmosphere that Du Fei was tossing in Shikoku, they would very likely have once again mobilized the already weak garrison.
Du Fei has roughly figured out the defense situation of several important strongholds:
Amagiri Castle has the most abundant defenders. Its defender is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who is the nephew of Miyoshi Chokei, the lord of the Miyoshi family. He has two thousand soldiers and horses, and the city is strong and well-defended.
Shihe Castle is even more miserable. The number of defenders in the city is even smaller than that of Baiji Castle. It is said that there are only more than 800 people pretending to occupy the city here. The only defender is Ikeda Sanbei, and
The city wall is in disrepair, and most of it is made of wood. If a fire is thrown on it, it will be completely burned.
The situation of the remaining places such as Ruisheng City and River Valley City is similar to that of Shihe City, and they all look vulnerable.
Du Fei understood that once the news of his attack on Baidi City spread, the defenders in those cities would most likely have strengthened their defenses. If he forced his way into the city again, he would probably lose more troops.
He began to think hard about how to lure the enemy deeper. However, after thinking hard for several days in Baidi City, he still had no clue.
At this moment, a person's visit made his originally irritable mood suddenly become cheerful.
"Jiugui! Why are you here!" Du Fei tightly held Jiugui Jialong, who was coming from the dusty world, and said excitedly: "You came just in time! I was worried about that!"
"It must be a big deal that there is something that can make you worried!" When he heard Du Fei talk about the troubles of siege, he suddenly laughed: "How difficult is it! Just concentrate on attacking another place.
city, then their military morale will definitely be unstable!"
"I know this, but although the number of defenders in these cities is small, their morale is very high, and the soldiers are also very tenacious. I am afraid that repeated hard attacks will make it impossible for me to expand my territory and will seriously damage my vitality. You know,
I don’t have much capital!” Du Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: “The army I spent a huge amount of money to build cannot withstand the torment!”
Jiugui Jialong looked around at the people around him and whispered a few words to him quietly. Du Fei's eyes widened after hearing this: "Is it really okay? Nothing will happen?"
"I guarantee the credibility of our Kumono Navy! The ultimate team is feasible! Just wait until the city is broken!" Kuki Yoshiro suddenly showed a weird smile: "Brother, after the Four Kingdoms War, will you also become a prince? Then I will have to
I rely on you to support me.”
"Of course it goes without saying!" Du Fei's eyes exuded a fiery light: "If I can win a place in the Four Kingdoms with the help of my brothers, I will definitely dedicate a city to you! Don't give up when the time comes!"
"This is true!" Kuki Yoshitaka was really moved. You must know that obtaining a city as a base has been the long-cherished wish of several generations of the Kumano Navy!
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
The hearty laughter of the two people rang out in the castle tower of Baidi City, causing the guards in front of the gate to stop and watch curiously.
dividing line
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi of Amagiri Castle has not slept well for many days. He always has nightmares, dreaming of enemy soldiers who look like ghosts tearing apart his city wall like paper and eating his soldiers alive.
!Every time those evil spirits grabbed him tightly and put them in his mouth, he would wake up with fright.
On this day, he woke up from a nightmare again, covered in cold sweat! He tried to fall asleep again, but he couldn't fall asleep.
So he put on his clothes and began to patrol the city casually. He saw that all the soldiers guarding the city were in full formation, waiting for the enemy.
No wonder, who is about to face an enemy force that is ten times as big as oneself, who can't help but feel scared? Even the commander-in-chief himself is so scared that he can't even sleep?
He finished inspecting the city and was ready to go back to his house to sleep.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise! A flaming object fell on the city wall not far from Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. As soon as it landed, it exploded!
The soldier next to him was blown away by this huge force! Immediately, his broken body, arms and legs fell to the ground in a bloody mess!
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's ears were buzzing from the shelling for a long time before he recovered. He touched his bleeding ears and shouted loudly: "There are enemy troops! Fire arrows quickly!"
The top of the city was immediately filled with panicked soldiers. Some of these soldiers had just crawled out of their bedding, and their clothes were all disheveled. Following the general's order, they blindly fired a shower of arrows into the night sky, only to realize that there was nothing outside the city wall.
one person!
"What's going on?" Miyoshi Yoshitsugi felt a deep chill that penetrated his bones from head to toe: "Is there really a ghost?"
"Boom!" While he was thinking wildly, another fireball fell from the sky! Several defenders were immediately blown off the city and turned into a pulp!
"Sir! The enemy is coming from the sea!" A sharp-eyed soldier said, pointing to a big ship that was shining brightly on the sea not far away.
