Yingtian has been a place of peace and prosperity for hundreds of years, with only warm winds, peach blossoms and rain, but has never seen such a brutal scene!
Three carts full of heads! Just like three carts full of heads in a Jingguan!
Many of the heads had traces of gunpowder burning, and there was no doubt that these heads were the ones that stopped the Ming army in front of the Cherry Orchard!
When the officials and civilians on the city wall saw the heads of those who had blocked the Ming army, they were so frightened that their foreheads shuddered, their teeth chattered desperately, their bodies trembled like sieves, their hearts were trembling with fear, their souls were flying away, the Japanese pirates outside were like the Black and White Impermanence who were urging them to die, and the end of the world seemed to be coming in an instant.
scream!
cry!
despair!
There was chaos on the city wall. If Zhang Jing had not issued a strict order that anyone who came down from the city wall would be killed, and the defenders had not killed a minor official who tried to escape from the wall, all the officials on the city wall would have fled long ago.
Naoshima Naoshima and other Japanese pirates looked at the panicked officials and civilians on the city wall, pointing and laughing arrogantly.
"Sanfanlang, I see that the Ming people are already frightened and in a panic. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to send a signal to Songxia and others who sneaked into the city the day before to contact them, and then join forces to seize the city gate!"
Nabeshima Masao's eyes glowed red as he looked greedily at the huge city in front of him. He turned his head and asked Matsuura Sanbanro who was standing beside him. His words did not conceal his envy and greed for the huge city.
If he could capture Yingtian City, then Naoko Nabeshima would be the most powerful general in the history of Japan!
Leave your name in Japanese history!
Of course, Nabeshima Masao knew that even if he could seize the city gate, he would not be able to hold it. However, he could take advantage of the opportunity to coerce and lure a group of desperate criminals in Yingtian, and hide them deep in Yingtian. When His Highness mobilized the army to plunder the south of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he could order the spies ambushed in the city to once again join forces inside and outside to capture this huge city. The countless wealth and glory would make him, Nabeshima Masao, famous in the history of Japan!
Such a majestic city, compared with my Japanese capital Luoyang, it is just like the difference between a baby and a sumo wrestler! I heard that this is only the secondary capital of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if the current imperial capital Shuntian of the Ming Dynasty should be so majestic! Of course, there is no need to think about Shuntian, Yingtian is just around the corner! If Yingtian becomes my stepping stone, how far will I, Guodao Nao, reach!
Maybe, I, Nagoya Kobe, will have the opportunity to become a powerful daimyo in the future.
Our Nabeshima family also has the opportunity to become a famous family!
It's very possible! With the wealth of Ming Jiangnan as a backing, it will be effortless for His Highness to dominate Hizen, and it is also very likely that he will lead the army to Luoyang and spread his military power throughout the world! By then, our Guodao family will most likely be rewarded with a great name by His Highness based on my military exploits this time and the military exploits that my elder brother and I will make in the future!
Naoko Kojima looked at the huge city of Yingtian with greed, his heart became hotter and hotter, and his eyes became redder and redder.
With such a great temptation in front of him, how could Naoko Kojima not salivate and get excited
Compared to the excited Naoto Nabeshima, Matsuura Sanbanrou was obviously much calmer. He shook his head slightly.
"General Nabeshima, now is not the time. Yingtian is the secondary capital of the Ming Dynasty. You have seen how big this city is and how many soldiers are guarding it. Although they are panicking at the moment, it is not something we can take down with our limited forces. Unless Matsushita and his traitors work together, we have no chance to capture such a huge city. Matsushita and his traitors only have one chance to work together. If they do, it will work. If not, there will be no chance again! Therefore, we must seize the best opportunity when the chance is the greatest and use Matsushita and his traitors, so that we can have a chance to get our hands on this second most magnificent city in the Ming Dynasty!"
Matsuura Sanbanrou explained to Nao Nabeshima patiently and calmly.
"Sanbanrou, the Akito are already scared, why isn't there a chance yet? If we wait any longer and give the Akito some buffer time, the Akito won't be so scared." Naoko Nabeshima said dissatisfiedly.
"There is only one chance for Nabeshima to gain control of the army, so we have to be cautious. Now is not the best time. When I was a child, my uncle once told me a story. He asked me when shuriken would be the most deterrent. I said that shuriken would be the most deterrent when it was shot at the enemy general. My uncle shook his head and said he was wrong. Shuriken would be the most deterrent before it was shot. Once it was shot, the deterrent would be gone. As long as the shuriken was not shot, the enemy would be frightened. They don't know when you will shoot, so they will have to worry about it all the time and be highly nervous. In the end, the enemy will collapse and reveal a fatal flaw. General Nabeshima, the situation at this time is just as my uncle said. As long as we are under the city, our deterrent power will increase day by day. As long as we don't take action, it's like planting a seed of fear. The fear on the city will grow wildly with the wind, growing and growing until we take action. Now there are Ming garrisons guarding the city gates. Songxia and his men are weak and it's hard for them to succeed. We have to scare the Ming people into conscripting civilians to defend the city. Before they sneaked into Yingtian, I had already given them orders to wait for this opportunity. Once the Ming people conscript civilians to help the Ming army defend the city, Songxia and his men will take the initiative to volunteer and blend in with the civilians to help the Ming people defend the city. They will look for opportunities to help defend the city gates. Haha, this is the best time for us to take action. So, I hope General Kobe will wait patiently for some time and wait for the best time to take action."
Matsuura Sanbanrou patiently explained to Nao Nabeshima the back-up plan he had planned.
Naoko Nabeshima's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he was not good at making plans, he was not stupid. He could analyze the pros and cons of plans, and he had a keener intuition about military affairs than ordinary people. According to Matsuura Sanbanro's plan, Matsushita and his men mixed in with the civilians who helped guard the city gate, and with their cooperation inside the city gate, they would suddenly launch an attack. The success rate of seizing the city gate would be quite high! Compared with launching a surprise attack from inside and outside now, the chances of winning would be at least 40% higher!
As Nabeshima Masao looked at the huge city of Yingtian, he even thought of the moment when he stood on the city of Yingtian holding a Japanese sword.
Excited, excited!
Naoko Nabeshima's breathing became heavier and his saliva was almost flowing out.
wait!
Worth the wait!
Must wait!
"Hey! Sanbanrou, your plan is great." Nabeshima Masao couldn't help but pat Matsuura Sanbanrou on the shoulder and praised him.
"It is because of General Nabeshima's trust that I have the opportunity to perform." Matsuura Sanbanrou said modestly.
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer." Naoko Nabeshima nodded.
"However, we can't wait forever. General, we will split our troops into two groups and march within a safe distance within two miles on both sides of the city gate to put pressure on the defenders on the city and force them to conscript civilians to defend the city."
Matsuura Sanbanrou suggested.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Then you and I will each lead half of the troops to create pressure on the Ming people on the city wall." Nabeshima Masao nodded, accepted Matsuura Sanbanro's suggestion, waved his hand and gave orders to the Japanese pirates in Moshita.
