Chapter 155 Six-marked money under the heavy snow
Miyoshi Masayasu is a fierce general under Sanada Yukimura. He is 1.77 meters tall and is considered a "big man" in Japan. In addition, because of his extraordinary bravery, he has become the number one general of the Sanada family.
The last sentry soldier in Shuitiao City had just gotten into the house. Before he could drink the hot soup handed over by his companion, someone roughly opened the door of the room where they relied on to escape the wind and snow.
"Asshole, are you tired of living? The Lord of the City has an order. Anyone who goes out on the street for no reason under the heavy snow will be used as a stick for twenty..."
The person who opened the door saw that there were no more than seven soldiers inside, so he withdrew, but did not close the door. The squad leader immediately became furious, grabbed the katana beside him and rushed out.
"You bastard, how dare you..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, but he was stunned in the heavy snow. When all the people in the house ran out of the house, they were all like team captains, frozen in place.
In the heavy snow, there were teams of at least five hundred people standing in the forest. Although their hats were covered with snow, their attire could easily tell that they were soldiers of the Satsuma Domain on the other side of the border defense line.
"Enemy...enemy attack..."
"Fire arrows..."
There was no need for muskets at this time. Under the service of dozens of feathered arrows, the entire sentry team was wiped out. Miyoshi Masayasu turned his head and looked at the towering Suijiao Castle Castle not far away, and slowly shook his head. Shaking his head: "Tokugawa, I'm back again..."
Nagasawa Yasukina was also holding a family banquet at this moment. Everyone at the party was seriously enjoying the performance of the singer, until one person arrived and was hastily interrupted.
"Report...to the Lord of the City..."
A flag soldier ran into the house with snowflakes on his body and rolled around. This situation made Nagasawa Yasukina frown, and he couldn't help but get angry: "You are so presumptuous, don't you understand the importance of dignity?"
The flag army immediately knelt down and said, "To inform you, Lord of the City, a large number of soldiers from the Satsuma Domain have appeared outside the city. There are many of them, just outside the city."
"What?"
Nagasawa Yasuchika stood up. This news caught him off guard. After so many years, although the shogunate sent his lord to guard against the Satsuma clan, and he also had troops to guard the Mizujo Castle closest to the Satsuma clan, the two were actually There has never been any friction in the country, and a large number of Satsuma clan soldiers have entered his territory. What does this mean?
"Have the Shimadzu family finally lost their control?"
Nagasawa Yasukuni had just finished speaking. Before he could react, Miyoshi Masayasu, who had launched a surprise attack, had already led his troops into Shuijo Castle. The soldiers who reported the news were covered in blood: "Please inform the Lord of the city that the enemy has invaded." In the city.”
It was okay this time. The originally lively family dinner was now filled with panic. Nagasawa Yasukika immediately arranged for his family members, and then quickly put on his clothes with his confidants, preparing to go out to meet the enemy.
But the entrance to the inner city was completely blocked.
"Lord City Lord, the enemy troops have entered the city and we are surrounded."
Nagasawa Yasukuni wanted to die. Although the heavy snow blocked his sight, he could still clearly see the Satsuma soldiers pouring into the city from outside the city gate, and the number of people seemed to have not stopped completely.
"Where's my army?"
There are five thousand troops in Suijiao Castle. This is also prepared to guard against the Satsuma Domain. There has been no friction between the two countries for so many years, so whenever heavy snow closes the mountains and roads, it is the time for both countries to relax their vigilance at the same time. This It was like the 'Maginot Line' in later generations. Everyone was busy doing their own thing. Who would mess with you?
It was this thought that allowed Shuitiao City to maintain such a relaxed atmosphere. The number of garrison guards in the outer city was no more than 300, and the rest were all left in the two military camps in the north and south of the outer city.
Everyone was cooking soup and drinking wine to keep out the cold. Who would have nothing to do to fight in such a cold situation?
"That is?"
Nagasawa Yasukika thought he was blind, and couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously with his hands, and then looked over with wide eyes. Among the soldiers dressed in Satsuma Domain, there were dozens of flags. The flags standing in the wind were clearly embroidered on them. With six copper coins.
"Could it be..."
Nagasawa Yasuchi said in a trembling voice. None of his retainers had seen that kind of family emblem and could not identify it. One of the generals said, "Sir, which family emblem of the Satsuma clan is that?"
"Will not..."
Nagasawa Yasukina shook his head repeatedly: "No, I must have made a mistake. Absolutely not, look at what that looks like."
"The general will see that it is six copper coins..."
"Yes, it's six copper coins..."
The six-patterned Qian family emblem flag was fluttering under the wind and snow, and Sanada Yukimura stood outside the city, just waiting for Masayasu Miyoshi to come out and invite him in.
"The crest of the Sanada family, they have..."
Nagasawa Yasukina had never seen the six-striped Qian family emblem flag. Back then, the 'last hero at the end of the Warring States Period' was carrying this flag and almost entered the unsuspecting Ieyasu camp. Ieyasu was so frightened that he almost abandoned the camp. People who leave.
"Sanada Yukimura..."
As soon as Nagasawa Anjin spoke, the retainers around him were stunned.
"It's impossible. People from the Satsuma Domain must be causing trouble. Sanada Yukimura died in Osaka that year. It's absolutely impossible..." Nagasawa Yasukika comforted himself hard, and then immediately drew out his sword: "Send the order, assemble everyone immediately We have enough troops to fight the Satsuma Army in a decisive battle, and we must not let them occupy our city."
"yes..."
The inner city was wide open, and his retainers and warriors under the leadership of Nagasawa Yasukina wielded their swords to kill them. It was a pity that Chen Cao was still marching slowly behind, otherwise he could also watch to his heart's content what the Japanese people were doing. How to fight.
As Yukimura Sanada said, the reason why Chen Cao issued such an order was to ask them to submit a certificate of surrender. If they were not worth using, he did not need to spend too much time on them.
By the time Chen Cao slowly and leisurely led his troops to Shuitiao City, the battle there was almost over.
"I didn't expect that I really didn't die. I only thought it was a legendary joke in the past, but I didn't expect it to be true today. It seems that the shogunate underestimated the power of the Sanada family and also miscalculated Toyotomi Hideyori's courage at the time. Hahaha..."
'Puff'...
With a slightly crisp sound, Nagasawa Yasukina's seppuku knife had been pulled into his abdomen, and blood flowed from his abdomen and mouth.
Naturally, the person who made the mistake was not his retainer, but Masayasu Miyoshi, and opposite him stood Yukimura Sanada.
Yukimura had a look of indifference on his face, as if he was used to this kind of scene. When Nagasawa Yasukina's head was cut off by Miyoshi Masayasu, Yukimura let out a long breath.
Twenty years later, it seems that Miyoshi Masayasu and his force value have not completely degraded to the point where they cannot be used.
"Sir, Lord Mingguo is here."
Sanada Yukimura turned sideways: "Take it up, it's time to hand over."
Chen Cao stood in the outer city of Shuijiao City and looked around, and he also admired Sanada Yukimura a little in his heart. After all, in the era of completely cold weapons, it was simply a fantasy to break into a city with five thousand people defending it. Although The Japanese city is quite childish, but it requires a real fight to determine the outcome.
"General Sanada is really getting stronger with age, and his men are even more brave and refined. I admire him very much."
After boasting for a while, Sanada Yukimura was not bypassed by Chen Cao. He saluted Chen Cao very wisely and said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty and fulfilled Lord Dingwuhou's instructions. Now I have cleared the way to enter Higo Kingdom." The road has been completed, please let Wuhou arrange the next step."
Chen Cao added another three points to Sanada Yukimura in his heart. This guy is very good at being a good person: "Well, it is reported that there are three cities and one village behind Shuijo Castle, followed by Kumamoto Castle, the center of Higo Kingdom. Now you attack We landed at Mizujo Castle and captured more than 3,000 people, which is already a great victory. We took advantage of the heavy snowfall to conquer Higo Country and quickly reached the Kumamoto Castle with a blitzkrieg, catching Takagi Seiji off guard."
"Blitzkrieg?"
Sanada Yukimura had never heard of these new terms.
"When there is thunder in the sky, there is often lightning. The lightning is far away, but it can reach the feet of mortals in an instant. This is a metaphor, do you understand?"
This explanation can only give Sanada Yukimura a partial understanding, but since it was said by the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, it must be an allusion to the Ming Dynasty.
"When I know this, I will immediately gather the soldiers and head to Guo City."
Chen Cao nodded with satisfaction: "If we travel faster, I believe we can arrive at Guocheng in less than two days. You go first, and I will handle the aftermath here."
"yes..."
..
"The people of Japan are extremely extravagant. Look, they are all covered with floors. If this was the case in our Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to buy a house with less than twenty taels."
Chen Cao walked around the castle tower, and then went to the backyard of Nagasawa Yasukina's mansion, where all the female relatives of the Nagasawa family are currently being held.
"According to the order of the Marquis, all the men will be dealt with without leaving any one behind."
Xin Zhao walked in from outside and whispered in Chen Cao's ear.
Chen Cao nodded in agreement. He had done his best by not avenging the massacre of later generations. Otherwise, according to the angry youth's personality in the past, there would have been a massacre after the invasion of Shuitiao City this time.
"Master Marquis, this is Nagasawa Yasukika's daughter, what is her name Junko..."
Chen Cao stared at Xin Zhao and smiled: "Go ahead, I'll reward you."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis..." Zhao Xin immediately handed over his hand, but then thought of something: "I understand, let's make arrangements now."
Chen Cao doesn't like girls too much. He likes slightly more mature women, at least those over twenty years old.
When Chen Cao walked into a house under the careful arrangement of Zhao Xin, the woman inside made Chen Cao want to curse. The woman in front of him was at least forty years old. If it weren't for the fact that the women of the Japanese country were as pampered as the women of the wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty. , at this moment he will definitely rush out of the door and kick Xin Zhao in the back as punishment.
The woman was probably Nagasawa Yasukika's first wife, but seeing her kneeling on the tatami with her calves slightly exposed, Chen Cao became bold and pounced on her. The wandering dragon hand seemed to be familiar with the road. It's where it should be.
Xin Zhao heard the breathing coming from the corridor, so he smiled and murmured: "The Marquis really likes older people..."
