The next day, outside Tsurumaru Castle
The battle between the Yi Dynasty coalition forces and the shogunate army began. During the process, both sides engaged in simple contact battles. Generally speaking, each side had its own victory.
The Allied Forces of Yi Dynasty had just arrived. They lacked various war materials and were unable to carry out large-scale wars. At this time, they could only be in a defensive state and accumulate combatable materials through constant transportation. Although the shogunate's army was at home, it had never found a way to defeat the Yijun coalition in one fell swoop. At this time, it could only passively follow the confrontation and consume it.
"My lords, do you have any good solutions to this deadlock?" From the main seat, Tokugawa Ieharu was asking for advice from his retainers and the daimyo from various places who had been called over. As the newly promoted general of the shogunate to conquer the barbarians, the invasion of the Yi Dynasty should not be taken lightly. It might lead to a war of annihilation of the country, so Tokugawa Ieharu had no choice but to decide to personally control the invasion.
At this moment, there was silence down there, and everyone was silent.
"Why. Is it so difficult to defeat the enemy?" Seeing this, Tokugawa Ieharu couldn't help but become a little angry.
Tens of thousands of allied troops from the shogunate have gathered here, and the daily cost of eating, drinking, and eating is huge. If it keeps dragging on, the shogunate's deficit this year will be ugly. Although Tokugawa Ieharu understood that what he inherited from his father was a mess, he did not want another war to break out in the first year due to the shogunate's fiscal deficit.
"Ueda, tell me what you think." Tokugawa Ieharu called.
Makino Ueda, a descendant of the feudal clan, and one of Tokugawa's counselors.
"Returning to the general, I believe that there must be experts in the Han army. The camp they have built is perfect to avoid the possibility of fire or flooding of their camp.
Judging from several tentative attacks, their gully construction is also very sophisticated. If we carry out a strong attack, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so even if we defeat them here, the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, I believe that the best way is to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements. By attacking their transport troops, we can draw out as many troops from their camps as possible, and then we can annihilate them one by one. In order to reduce our losses. "Seeing that his name was called, Makino Ueda could only get up from the futon where he was kneeling and walked out of the queue and said.
The method mentioned by Makino Ueda is not a good method, but it is currently the safest method unanimously recognized by many ministers and daimyo. Because those who don't believe in "evil" are either injured or have gone to see their Izanami, or are dejected because of heavy losses.
Tokugawa Ieharu also understood that this method might be good, but the problem was that the strength of the Yijun transport troops was extremely elite and brave. He sent the troops to surround them. If he sent too few, he would just send military honors to them. If he sent too many, it would become a scene where the big names were pushing each other back. No one wanted to go up and fight them.
But procrastinating is not an option.
If the daily losses and expenses of the Yi army are huge, then the daily losses and expenses of their shogunate's army are unimaginable.
But now, both sides are waiting for the other side to punch in order to find loopholes that can defeat the opponent with one blow. Therefore, neither side dares to act rashly, and can only silently endure the huge consumption of food and fodder, waiting for the other side to make a stupid move.
....
"Chigouzi, have you heard? The Han army is going to divide the fields for us." At this time, a short Japanese man wearing only underpants and bare arms was tilting his head towards another man who was slightly better dressed. "Yes," said his companion, who was also only about 1.5 meters tall.
"Stupid stick, are you telling the truth? Could it be that you have been deceived? You have been stupid since you were a child, so you must have been deceived." Hearing this, the man named Akainu looked doubtful. .
"There is still some lie in this matter. I also heard what the newly appointed village chief said." When Daimugun heard Chigou's question, he immediately raised his voice several times.
"Impossible. All the land in our village belongs to the owner. Where did the Han army come from to give us so much land? I guess this village chief just deceived you to have fun." I saw Chigou becoming disdainful.
"I don't know about this. You can ask the village chief. By the way, he also asked us to go to a meeting. He said that an adult from the Han army came to talk." Dai Mugun seemed to want something suddenly. He said quickly.
"...."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Akainu's unmoved look, Dumbstick couldn't help but ask.
"I heard from the servants of the Tanaka family that we are here to harm His Majesty the Emperor when the Han army invades. The Emperor is our descendant of the divine race. If we go to see the Han army, does it mean that we have betrayed Amaterasu? We will be punished. Amaterasu's punishment." Akainu said in annoyance.
"But, I saw that all the servants of the Tanaka family have gone." Dumbstick said.
"real?"
"As far as our relationship is concerned, can I still lie to you?"
"That's right, okay. I also met the people from the Han army. I heard that they are all very tall and rich." Chigou said.
"Speaking of money, there is actually money. When you go, remember to tell them that you were called by me, Dead Stick, and you can get one liter of grain. Those who go early can also get big white rice." Suddenly, Dead Stick He got excited.
"Dumuzun, you are just stupid, tell me, what benefits do you have." Chigou didn't understand that Duimugun must have gained some benefits, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited even if he was stupid.
"Haha, Chi Gouzi, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. In fact, it was the Han army uncle who gave me three big coins and ten coins. Then he told me that as long as before noon, every time I call the five adults who came to our village, Give me an extra five cents, and if you shout enough ten cents, give me eleven cents. The more, the better." The stupid stick became a little shy after being pointed out, and he no longer hid the fabrication.
"Really?"
"I'm lying to you." As he said this, Dumbun took out the "heavy" three copper plates from his only trousers.
Living in a village where most of the time people exchange things for things, and basically no copper coins are circulated. From the moment he saw the three copper coins, Chi Gouzi immediately believed what Du Mu Stick said.
"Is this a lot of money for ten coins?" Chigou couldn't help but his eyes lit up as he looked at it, full of envy that Du Mu Stick had found a good job.
"Well, I'll give you one!" As he said that, Dumbstick took one and gave it to Akainu.
"What are you doing for me? You can keep it. It's time to buy some clothes. You need to find a wife in the future." Chigou immediately refused, thinking of Daimugun.
"Thirty big coins can do a lot of things."
"By the way, you just said, will you get extra money for every five people you call?" Suddenly, Akainu seemed to want something.
"Yes! Master Hanjun told us personally."
"Us? There are others."
