Chapter 604 The situation is not good!
After being hijacked, Yoshikawa Ichiro had to obey Qin Yi's instructions and summon his subordinates according to the latter's instructions, preparing to summon all Ashigaru to start a war with the Hojo family.
Not long after, a samurai arrived. After receiving permission, he took off his shoes and entered the Japanese room.
Just after entering, the warrior looked up and was stunned for a moment.
I saw five tall and powerful guards standing behind Yoshikawa Ichiro. They were not Numata samurai.
He could recognize that these people were all Qin Yi's subordinates!
He was extremely surprised, wondering why his lord would use Qin Yi's men as his personal bodyguards.
But seeing Qin Yizheng sitting cross-legged on the side, the warrior did not dare to ask any more questions, so he could only bow and salute and say a word of greeting.
Mizutani Jiayi, who was kneeling next to Qin Yi, quickly translated, "What he said was to pay homage to the lord."
Qin Yi nodded.
He knew that this samurai was Ichiro Yoshikawa's staff, and many tasks would be arranged through him.
Glancing at Qin Yi, the corners of Yoshikawa Ichiro's mouth twitched. He had an impulse to shout out and tell his subordinates that he was being held hostage.
But he knew that Qin Yi's flying knife skills were extremely terrifying!
It is very likely that he will die after he finishes speaking, or even before he finishes speaking!
And as a daimyo, who owns ten kingdoms and enjoys wealth and honor, how could he die like this?
After all, Qin Yi said that if he obeyed, he would let himself go later.
But Yoshikawa Ichiro has never been threatened like this, so even if he didn't dare to risk his life and couldn't expose it face to face, he still wanted to give a hint.
Thinking like this, Yoshikawa Ichiro said something.
Mizutani Kaiichi quickly translated, "He said that the Hojo family has repeatedly oppressed the Yoshikawa family, and now it's time to send troops to attack the Hojo family."
Mizutani Jiayi knew that he and Qin Yi were already like grasshoppers in the same boat, both prospering and losing.
If Qin Yi died at the hands of Ichiro Yoshikawa, he would not live long, so he had no intention of deceiving him at all. Whatever the other party said, he would translate it truthfully.
After hearing what Ichiro Yoshikawa said, the samurai was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly and looked at his lord.
He did remember that the Hojo family sent people to discuss with the lord, but the lord seemed to be moved.
Why did he suddenly change his mind at this moment and prepare to attack the Hojo family?
Before, several warriors who helped Yoshikawa Ichiro deal with Qin Yi were all dead.
The cause of their death has been excused with other reasons.
However, this warrior and many of his subordinates did not know this, so they were so surprised.
But he had secretly guessed that maybe the conversation had broken down, so he didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Yoshikawa Ichiro suddenly blinked repeatedly and winked wildly at his subordinates.
As it happened, the warrior lowered his head and didn't see it.
Qin Yi frowned when he saw this situation, and a flying knife suddenly appeared in his hand!
His gaze became extremely sharp!
He originally thought that Yoshikawa Ichiro had taken poison and had his right arm disabled, so he would have been taught a lesson and would have obeyed.
Unexpectedly, he still harbors evil intentions!
As if aware of the sudden surge of murderous aura next to Qin Yi, Yoshikawa Ichiro was frightened and quickly stopped winking.
The warrior raised his head and said something.
Mizutani Jiaichi quickly translated, "He said, the lord has any other instructions."
Yoshikawa Ichiro could feel that Qin Yi's sharp eyes were focused on him. How could he dare to think too carefully and quickly responded.
"He said, it's okay. Let the other side summon the Ashigaru as soon as possible and prepare to send troops." Mizutani Kaiichi translated.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the room had become a little strange, the samurai was suspicious, but without thinking much, he followed Yoshikawa Ichiro's instructions and turned around to leave.
Then, only Yoshikawa Ichiro, Qin Yi and others were left in the room, and the atmosphere became increasingly stagnant.
Yoshikawa Ichiro was filled with panic and did not dare to look at Qin Yi, but Qin Yi did not say anything.
After a long silence, Qin Yicai stood up, walked slowly to Yoshikawa Ichiro, and said coldly, "I came to discuss cooperation, and you agreed, but you went back on your word, not only violated the agreement, but also harmed me! Now, although I am holding you hostage,
, but I also promise that if you obey orders and act, I will definitely let you go after the incident is completed!"
Squinting his eyes, Qin Yitong's expression was full of coldness, "I didn't expect that you would still be evil!"
Yoshitomo Mizutani translated at the same time. When Ichiro Yoshikawa heard this, he was horrified and quickly fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
Mizutani Kaiichi translated, "He said that he realized his mistake, would not make such a mistake again, and begged for mercy."
Qin Yi's eyes were slightly cold and he remained silent.
Suddenly, Yoshikawa Ichiro, who was begging, was shocked and his whole body trembled!
Huge pain erupted from his abdomen, making him howl uncontrollably. His eyes widened and he broke out in cold sweat. His body curled up on the mat like a shrimp!
Qin Yi immediately understood that the poison he bought from the system mall was beginning to take effect.
According to the information, after taking this poison, it will occur once on the second day, the fifth day, and the tenth day.
Until the fifteenth day, which is half a month, if the antidote is not taken, the internal organs will be completely eroded by the poison, completely destroyed, causing tremendous pain, and even death.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the poison took effect.
Seeing Yoshikawa Ichiro in such pain, Qin Yi knew that there was no need to teach him a lesson.
This pain is a heavy lesson, letting the other party know that if they don't obey, life will be worse than death!
…
As Yoshikawa Ichiro's orders continued to spread, the young men who usually worked as farmers in the ten countries and dozens of counties under his command took up their weapons, lined up in formation, and gathered towards Numata County.
According to preliminary estimates, these Ashigaru are about thirty thousand.
We have to wait until all the Ashigaru troops arrive before sending out troops, which takes a lot of time.
While waiting, Qin Yi also sent someone to pass on the order for the five thousand powerful soldiers stationed in Taga City to come to Numata City under the leadership of Mu Haorang.
From now on, the two parties will join forces and start from Numata Castle, heading east to attack the Hojo family's base camp, Shimono Country!
This is the straight path to attack the country, and it is also the best way to rescue the Prime Minister!
…
In order to return to Dingyue Army Town as soon as possible, formulate a plan to resist the Xiangrong, and understand the battle situation in Luocheng, Xuan Lingyao, Gan Zijin and other generals quickly returned to Dingyue Army Town with some troops.
The remaining soldiers and horses, under the command of several generals, continued to march slowly to escort the people to retreat south.
In a few days, Xuan Lingyao and others returned to Dingyue Military Town after speeding up their journey.
At this moment, in the military town, under the command of the garrison, the soldiers began to strengthen the city wall, stack up missing arrows, build armaments, strengthen defense... and made all-out preparations for the war.
After returning to the military town, the generals did not return to their residences, but immediately went to the commander-in-chief's mansion.
After spending a long time on the road, they didn't know the situation in Luocheng, so they were extremely concerned.
After rushing all the way, the generals arrived at the lobby of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
At this time, Han Lin and other generals were conducting deductions on a sand table in the hall.
After Xuan Lingyao and others entered, they saw that the geographical features of the Luocheng area had been shaped on the sand table.
"General Han, how is the situation in Luocheng now?" Gan Zijin asked immediately after walking in.
Han Lin looked over and saw everyone, nodded and said, "Generals, thank you for your hard work. Next, you must continue to work hard to resist the Xiang Rong!"
After a slight pause, he continued, "In the early morning, I received news that Jingxun had arrived in Luocheng and began to deploy the city's defenses. According to reports from the scouts, Xiangrong is still more than a hundred miles away from Luocheng."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately happy.
Fortunately, Jingxun arrived at Luocheng before Xiangrong and had enough time to set up defenses.
But the distance of more than a hundred miles also means that within a few days, Luocheng will usher in a bloody battle!
With a slight sigh, everyone suppressed their worries, looked at the sand table, and asked, "How did the deduction go?"
Han Lin shook his head, "The situation is not very good."
He looked at the model of Luocheng on the sand table and continued, "The height and thickness of the walls of Luocheng are both smaller than that of Yinglan, and there are no armaments or food in the city. This general has sent troops to send a batch as soon as possible."
"Dali began to build Yinglan City before the first line of defense fell. On the other hand, Luocheng deployed its defenses hastily and was slightly behind in preparation."
"The most important thing is that Luocheng is a mountain city with mountains on both sides. It is like a mountain pass. Only the north and south can pass. When the war begins, the Xiangrong will attack the north with all their strength, and only one side will be attacked, which reduces the pressure on defending the city. But The problem lies in this, being close to the mountains is its advantage and also its disadvantage!"
With that said, Han Lin pointed at the mountains on both sides of the Luocheng model on the sand table with a wooden pole, and said in a deep voice, "These two mountains can stop the Yuan army, but they cannot stop the Xiang Rong. Many battles have proved that. This ethnic group is very good at climbing, so climbing is not a big problem for them!"
"No matter how high the mountain is, Xiang Rong can climb it, but it will take some time. This means that during a battle, Xiang Rong will most likely send a group of soldiers and horses to jump from the mountain into the city for a surprise attack!"
When Gan Zijin heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Can't we deploy troops and horses on the mountain to stop Xiang Rong from climbing the mountain?"
Han Lin's face was quite solemn, "I think Jing Xun will set up defenses like this, but this method can protect against the Yuan clan, but it is difficult to protect against the Xiang Rong. Even if it is a remote forest, the Xiang Rong can board it. They will probably go around the mountain." Armed!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank.
Indeed, the Yuan army never climbs mountains. If they want to climb mountains, they must take easier mountain roads, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to climb up.
But this is not a problem for the Xiang Rong who live in the mountains and forests.
The atmosphere in the hall became extremely silent. The generals frowned and stared at the sand table.
At this time, Xuan Lingyao spoke up, and she said slowly, "Maybe we are worried in vain. If the peaks on both sides of Luocheng are too high and too dangerous, Xiang Rong may not be able to climb them."
The generals heard this and nodded, it was indeed the case.
If the mountain is too dangerous, even if a few Xiang Rong can climb it, they will not be able to send a large number of soldiers and horses. In this way, it will not pose a great threat to Luocheng's defense.
Therefore, the specific situation can only be known by further investigation.
The worries in Han Lin's heart were lessened. He decided to send a message to Luocheng and asked Jingxun to send people to closely monitor the mountains on both sides and set up soldiers and horses to prevent the Xiang Rong from raiding down from the mountains!
In addition, you must also instruct the other party that if this happens, you must withdraw from Luocheng immediately and do not hold on!
Chapter completed!
