Chapter 1,299 The Power of Soga Ezo

Orihime told Soga Ezo and Emperor Kogoku about the current situation.

"Mom, Master Su, in two days, the Tang Army will launch a general attack on us. If we don't go head-to-head with them this time, no matter where we retreat, they will catch up, and we will have to

Face them.

So I decided to have a showdown with Li Feng in Akiye City.

Mom, Lord Suga, the reason why I asked Tsuruta to call you here is that I hope your arrival can improve the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and also just in case."

"Just in case?" Soga Ezo frowned slightly, "What do you mean, princess?"

Emperor Kogi said: "Orihime, have you left a way out?"

Orihime nodded and said: "Yes, I did leave a way out, but that will happen after we fail. It's too early to say this now.

I have sent Miyamoto to ambush Li Feng and the others halfway. As long as they are hidden enough and not discovered, we will definitely win this battle."

"Didn't you say that Li Fengfeng discovered them?"

"I just said that the possibility of discovery is very high, but it does not mean that it will definitely be discovered. Besides, I am talking about the best case scenario." Orihime said, "Suga-sama, thank you for your trust and entrusting Soga's army to me.

Responsible for commanding."

Soga Ezo waved his hand and said: "Everything means that Fuso is gone. Why don't you tell us your options?"

Orihime sighed and said: "There are two ways out, one is for us to surrender and accept the arrangements of the Tang Dynasty.

The other is that we go to sea and occupy the island as king. As long as we have money and people, and Datang's technology, it will not be difficult for us to make a comeback."

"Surrendering to the Tang Dynasty is simply impossible. As for becoming a pirate, I'm afraid this is your real escape route." Soga Ezo said, "Tell me, how long have you been preparing for this escape route?

"

Orihime's eyes shrank, and she secretly cursed Soga Ezo as an old fox, and this old ginger is still spicy.

She smiled and said: "Sir Suga is really amazing. He could guess that I had made preparations in advance. Don't you think I just thought of it just now?"

Soga Ezo smiled and said: "Everyone in the world can think of a way out, but you can't, princess. Princess has thought of everything before she does something. She has thought of both good and bad consequences. The only thing she has not thought of is

, will lose so miserably.

Half of the 200,000-strong army was lost just like that, including 50,000 recruits and 25,000 naval forces. Our main force was only left with 25,000. It is really ironic."

Orihime's face turned red. She had a heavy responsibility in this matter. At that time, she never thought that Li Feng would use such a vicious strategy. Military camps from both sides were sent there. Fortunately, the naval camp was far away from Sakata Castle, otherwise there would be three military camps.

You may encounter unexpected events.

Emperor Kogi said: "You cannot blame Orihime alone for this matter, Takatoshi was also there at the time."

"The emperor means that this is Takatoshi's fault? I remember that Orihime had received our letter at that time and could directly command my troops. I was curious why he didn't unite the two armies together instead of fighting them separately.

?

This is completely different from our purpose at that time." Soga Ezo said calmly.

His words did not give Emperor Kogi any face.

Emperor Kogi was used to it. She smiled and said: "I know Orihime was at fault, but I can't blame her entirely. Although Takajun performed very well, he was in the military camp of Soga's army at the time.

After the accident, should we take good countermeasures as soon as possible? He and Orihime both wanted to ask each other for help, but they missed the best opportunity, which led to the current result."

Orihime realized that they were not talking about business, but started to blame each other for Sakata Castle, so she said angrily: "You two, now is not the time to shirk responsibility. I am willing to take responsibility for what happened in Sakata Castle."

"Orihime, you?" Emperor Kogi looked at Orihime in surprise.

Orihime said: "Mom, now is really not the time to shirk responsibility. What we have to do now is to deal with Li Feng together."

Then she looked at Soga Ezo and said: "Suga-sama, this matter is all my fault, but if you want to hold me responsible, please wait until we two Li Feng are defeated, and then take back the lost city.

How is it?"

Soga Ezo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay. We already know your plan, but are you sure that the soldiers you ambushed can completely avoid the detection of the Tang Dynasty scouts? Don't forget, they have

For hot air balloons, one hot air balloon can intimidate an army of ten thousand people."

"Don't worry, Suga-sama, I have found a solution to the problem of hot air balloons."

Immediately, Orihime told how to destroy the hot air balloon by flying the sky lantern into the sky.

"This method is okay."

Soga Ezo nodded. This is the best way at the moment. He can't think of any other way, so he can only say this.

"The hot air balloon has been solved, but Li Feng still has muskets and grenades. I heard that there are also artillery. Although we also have muskets, the ones we bought are leftover muskets from others. There is no way to shoot at them."

Yi said again.

Orihime nodded and said, "Yes, the opponent has muskets, artillery, and even grenades, but we have more people."

"You plan to use your life to consume the opponent's ammunition?" Soga Ezo was very shocked.

At his status and age, he was well-informed, but when faced with Orihime's ruthlessness, he was really shocked.

"Princess Orihime, do you know what I'm talking about?" Soga Ezo asked.

Orihime nodded and said: "There is no other way. Facing artillery, muskets and grenades, we can only use our numbers to consume all their ammunition, otherwise we have no chance."

Emperor Huangji nodded and said: "Since everything has been arranged, just go ahead and do it boldly. As long as I can get Li Feng, I am willing to bet the whole Fuso."

"The Emperor is so courageous, isn't he afraid of losing the bet?" Soga Ezo said in a deep voice.

Emperor Kogi sneered: "What are you afraid of? Don't we have a way out? As long as someone has money and the technology of the Tang Dynasty, we will dominate the world sooner or later."

Soga Ezo nodded: "Since the Emperor has such courage, it would be unreasonable for me, the Soga clan, not to follow.

Princess, just as you said, facing the artillery fire of the Tang army, we will use human lives to fill it. Since we have to fill it, the more the better.

There are only two days left before you start recruiting troops. I will recruit troops in Qiuye City. As long as they are over ten years old, whether they are men or women, they will bring me weapons to kill the enemy."

"No." Orihime refused directly.

"Why? Don't you want to use human lives to fill it? Wouldn't it be better to use these useless people to consume the Tang army's ammunition first?

When they run out of ammunition, our entire army of soldiers will be available.

Princess, you have to remember that we have lost more than 70,000 main troops and we can no longer afford the loss. If you use real soldiers to consume the other side, I will never agree." Soga Ezo said solemnly.

Emperor Kogi also said: "Orihime, I don't agree to use the regular army to consume the ammunition of the Tang Army. So far, you have not officially fought. None of us know how many guns and ammunition the Tang Army has."

Orihime said: "Definitely not a lot. Li Feng and I came to Fuso together. His ship is indeed very big, but it can't hide a lot of ammunition. The most important thing is that they used a lot of ammunition to deal with the navy.

"

"Even so, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Emperor." Soga Ezo looked at Emperor Kogoku.

Emperor Huangji nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Soga Ezo said: "There are still two days left. Tomorrow, the emperor will personally recruit troops in the name of the emperor and recruit all the young people in Akiba City, regardless of gender, into the army."

"No." Orihime quickly stopped.

But Soga Ezo stretched out a hand and said: "This matter has been decided, Princess Orihime will not participate.

Since the princess thought up the ambush, she must have executed it herself.

According to the princess, they can reach Akiye Castle the day after tomorrow, the first ambush point tomorrow, and the second ambush point tomorrow night. The princess should ambush them immediately after dark."

Orihime frowned slightly, Soga Ezo was planning to seize the power of Akiba Castle and let her go to an ambush point. This was not to let her fight with Li Feng and the others.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy.

But if you lose, you will be captured, and you will have nothing to do next.

Emperor Huangji said: "Don't worry, Takajun will go with you."

"He's going with me?" Orihime became even more confused and couldn't help but look at Soga Ezo.

However, Soga Ezo didn't answer his words. He simply closed his eyes and stopped talking to Orihime.

Orihime had no choice but to turn to Emperor Kogi for help.

Emperor Kogi shook his head and motioned for Orihime to leave first.

Orihime finally had no choice but to leave. She knew that the Soga clan had some power in Heian Kyo that was not weaker than that of the Emperor.

She really didn't expect that after arriving at Akiba Castle, Soga Ezo would have absolute power and even order herself, the future emperor, which was really hateful.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so Orihime came to the military camp.

"See you, Your Highness, Princess." The soldier saluted immediately when he saw Orihime.

Orihime ignored them and walked straight to the military camp and her handsome tent.

"See Princess."

Two rows of guards outside the handsome tent saluted Orihime.

Orihime stood in front of them and said slowly: "Go and invite General Miyamoto."

"Yes." The soldier on the outside immediately went to call Miyamoto.

After a while, Miyamoto came to Orihime's handsome tent.

"See you, princess." Miyamoto saluted.

Orihime nodded and said: "General Miyamoto, there is no need to be polite. I came to you so late because I have something important for you to do."

Miyamoto said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I am ready and can set off to the ambush point to ambush the Tang army at any time."
