Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but be startled.
Saburo Inoue said worriedly: "Master, if we do this, we won't even have any room for maneuver in case of failure!"
"Yes!" Takumi Murakami also felt risky, "Master, why don't we stick to the original plan? Even if it doesn't work, we can just go back."
He analyzed: "It doesn't matter if we fail to defeat the Hosokawa clan. With our current strength, he can't defeat us even if he sends out five thousand. No matter how many more...he doesn't dare to take more;
Once the attack on the Yamaname family fails, all the previous efforts will be in vain! "
Li Qing said calmly: "I am not discussing with you, I am giving an order!"
The two of them were stunned and hurriedly responded with greetings.
Li Qing then softened his tone and explained: "It is difficult to defeat the Hosokawa clan because they only go to rob and can quickly return reinforcements, but it is easier to defeat the Yamana clan;
The seven thousand warriors of the Hosokawa clan are all our friendly troops. Once the looting begins, the Yamana clan will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. When the two sides are fighting fiercely, we will take advantage of the opportunity and move in. The overall situation will be decided! "
"Is that so?" Inoue Saburo scratched his not very smart head.
Takumi Murakami had a different view, but he did not dare to object. He just said: "Great God, both sides are giants, and it is not a life-and-death battle. Even if we fight in, the Yamana clan will quickly return reinforcements. The speed is so fast, compared to attacking the Hosokawa clan, the response speed is faster and more urgent!"
"It doesn't matter!" Li Qing asked with a smile: "Are we stronger, or is the Yamana clan stronger?"
Takumi Murakami said sarcastically: "We will definitely be stronger in the future."
Li Qing smiled and nodded: "It is undeniable that compared to the Yamana clan armed with thousands of people, we are still too weak, at least for now;
Let me ask you again, does Hosokawa regard us as a strong enemy, or does he regard the Yamana family as a strong enemy? "
"Yamana clan!" Inoue Saburo knew it all.
Li Qing smiled and said: "That's right, so after we attack the city, the Hosokawa clan will definitely refuse to let him return for reinforcements. As far as the Hosokawa clan is concerned, no matter whether we can take the city or not, as long as we If you go in, everything will be turned upside down;
From their point of view, no matter what the outcome, the only one who will suffer is the Yamana clan, so the Hosokawa clan will definitely hold on to it, and the Yamana clan will return to the samurai to further weaken this powerful enemy! "
Saburo Inoue asked in confusion: "Isn't he afraid that we will become the city lords?"
Li Qing: "..."
However, Takumi Murakami came back to his senses and explained: "In the eyes of the Hosokawa clan, even if we become the lords of the city, it will be beneficial and harmless, because it is much easier for them to deal with us than to deal with the Yamana clan;
And from the outside, the chance that we can win is not high, and there is a high probability that both sides will suffer. Therefore, the Hosokawa clan will definitely do what the master said, bite the Yamana clan and prevent him from returning reinforcements. "
"That's it!" Saburo Inoue finally understood, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The Great God is wise."
Murakami Takumi also agreed and was convinced.
Li Qing raised his hand and pressed down to stop the two of them from flattering him, and said seriously: "Sanlang, whether this can happen or not, you will play a big role!"
"Master, just tell me what to do." Saburo Inoue was fearless and inexplicably excited.
Li Qing said: "First of all, you have to fight as hard as possible, and secondly, try to enlarge the victory results to seduce the Hosokawa clan, delay the Hosokawa clan's retreat time, and make them reluctant to leave;
And..." Li Qing stared at the map and pondered for a moment, then said: "I will arrive at Shanming City probably fifteen days after you looted it. You can watch the time and gather with me when the time comes. "
Li Qing warned: "You can follow Hosokawa Toyohisa's orders, but you must ensure that the warriors listen to your orders. You must not let the command be handed over to him. This is the bottom line that must be adhered to, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Saburo Inoue nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Master, Saburo is not stupid!"
"...Remember!" Li Qing said to Murakami Craftsman again: "As soon as they leave tomorrow, you immediately search for the resources you can. We are no longer here, but the wealth must be taken away."
"Yes!" Murakami Takumi responded solemnly.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's all go and rest."
The two stood up, bowed, and left.
Li Qing stretched his body and said leisurely: "First take the name of the mountain, and then attack Hosokawa. If everything goes well, we will definitely launch a general attack on the Muromachi shogunate by the end of the year!"
He still has a lot to do and doesn't want to waste too much time in Japan.
After the shogunate was overthrown, the emperor's inheritance was cut off, and the war in Japan continued, he would be able to retire.
The world is so big, waiting for him to see it.
~gòйЪ.ōΓg
The next day, Inoue Saburo and 1,500 warriors set out with Hosokawa Toyohisa.
At the same time, Takumi Murakami also began to make money on a large scale...
Li Qing, on the other hand, was quite leisurely, with no sense of urgency about going to the bottom of the boat, and was very relaxed.
When he was the supervisor of the army, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were often sent out to fight. How could he be so tense due to the scale of the current war?
Besides, he's not one of his own.
But Jin made it.
He didn't feel bad at all.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
Li Qing gathered the remaining two thousand elite troops and embarked on the journey.
Nowadays, Li Qing's armed lineup is not an ordinary luxury. Among the two thousand warriors, there are one thousand and two armed with samurai swords, of which there are fully six hundred in armor, and there is even a cavalry of two hundred.
Even though there are only 200 people, considering the scale of Japan's war, they are already a powerful force that can do a lot of things.
Seven days later, Li Qing bypassed the fierce fighting area and came to the city occupied by the Yamana family.
It has to be said that when one reaches the level of the four shogunate generals, one's power has indeed reached the level of elegance. It's quite like that. It is no longer like a magistrate and can barely be called a separate state.
"Yes, the scope of management is barely comparable to that of the prefect." Li Qing muttered to himself and said loudly: "Make a cone formation and listen to my orders!"
Having said that, take the lead!
If they are not armed enough, they must use force to attack the city. Li Qing is the only one who can attack the city.
There is no other way, there are only 2,000 troops, and it is still unknown how many defenders there are in the city. Li Qing can only reduce losses as much as possible, and save as much as possible!
Li Qing had so many armed troops approaching the city, and the people on the city were not blind, so they naturally saw it and took a defensive posture.
However, they did not attack Lee Sin.
In their opinion, Li Qing just came to call for formation and made harsh words, and he didn't think about attacking the city at all.
If one man attacks the city, what's going on?
Their attention was focused on the two thousand warriors behind Li Qing.
It's cavalry, armor, and samurai swords... All signs indicate that this is a powerful enemy, and they don't dare to be careless.
The leader of the city guard immediately went to ask for help. While he was busy organizing his subordinates, unexpectedly, he heard a shaking in the city.
"Bang——!"
There was a dull loud noise, and the city head seemed to tremble three times, drawing his eyes back to the city gate.
It didn't matter when I saw it, my jaw almost dropped in shock.
A wooden board that was as big as a chopping board was thrown aside by Li Qing, and then he slapped it with another palm.
The seemingly soft and white palms, with a slight movement, were like a stormy sea, making the leader's mind wildly shaken.
Not only him, but also the samurai in the city were stunned.
The solid city gate was actually smashed with a slap?
This, how is this possible?
However, the reality is like this. The city gate was really damaged by someone, and it was very easy, as if it could be photographed on the extremely corroded rotten wood.
"Arrow, shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly...!"
The leader screamed with fear and fear, his tone even changed.
Once such a large army enters the city, the destructive power it will cause is mind-numbing to think about.
A total of two thousand people!
Although it cannot rise to the height of changing owners, it can still make the Yamana clan suffer from pain.
'Whoosh whoosh...! '
'Ding ding ding...'
The arrows were all separated, and then there was a dull slap sound again. Each palm seemed to be slapped on the heart. The heart of the warriors on the city seemed to be clenched tightly by this big white hand, and it became faster and faster.
"Fire the arrow again, fire again..."
"boom!"
The city gate collapsed, drowning his next words.
"rush!"
A melodious voice sounded, and the two thousand warriors arrayed in the distance immediately took action and quickly approached the city gate.
"Block them, block them...!" The leader's eyes were splitting, "Go to the city, go to the city and stop them!"
However, it's too late!
The door is wide open, there is no time to stop it.
There were more than a hundred people who had just ran down, but two thousand warriors had already arrived, like a flood bursting its embankments, marching forward bravely.
The hundreds of people who blocked the attack were instantly wiped out. The remaining ones were all so frightened that they did not dare to go to the city to stop them.
Li Qing didn't stop and went straight to the center of the city.
Two thousand people condensed into sharp awls and roared all the way. No one dared to stop them, and no one could stop them. Li Qing took the lead, as if he was in a deserted place.
Wherever he goes, everyone retreats.
However, the good times did not last long. In less than two quarters of an hour, they encountered an armed force of more than a thousand people.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
Two thousand warriors followed Li Qing's footsteps and collided with more than a thousand people on the opposite side.
When the battle started, Li Qing, armed with a big sword, went on a rampage, causing people to flip over in his path. He was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred people died at his hands.
The warriors behind him were also extremely brave. They were all like bloodthirsty beasts with red eyes.
Such a ferocious army was really frightening. One-third of the force of more than a thousand people was quickly lost, and then they began to flee.
Li Qing did not pursue, but rested where he was, waiting for work.
He didn't know how many armed forces there were, but according to his estimate, it shouldn't exceed five thousand.
There were a total of 8,500 warriors on the battlefield on the Hosokawa clan's side. Not to mention that the Yamana clan would mobilize the same number of warriors, and there wouldn't be much difference.
With the intimidating power of the Yamana clan, five thousand warriors were left for defense, which can be said to be impregnable.
Two thousand versus five thousand, I have the advantage!
Even if there are more, it won't hurt. Li Qing is very confident in this armed force.
Unexpectedly, Saburo Inoue was about to come to help, and he didn't panic at all.
In this battlefield of all cold weapons, his weapon is invincible!
Li Qing is full of fighting spirit. If he takes down the Yamana clan, he will truly have the capital to overthrow the Muromachi shogunate.
Soon, the structure of Japan will soon be completely overturned!
