Takeda Katsuyori's thinking is a little messy. You are a general who defends the city and is stationed at the castle tower. How come you were shot instantly?
After capturing an extremely important city, how could there not be a surrender ceremony?
This is unscientific...
"There are no soldiers in the city! All the retainers and generals of the Tokugawa family in Noda Castle, including the ashigaru, have escaped."
The ordering soldier looked at Katsuyori blankly, at a loss.
"Baga? No, no one is allowed to escape... Capture them all and continue to defend the city. Take up arms and fight. No surrender is allowed without the permission of the Takeda family..."
Katsuyori was furious and a little incoherent!
The beard on Baba Nobuka's chin trembled and he smiled bitterly:
"Katsuyori, wake up?"
After saying that, Machang Xinfang looked at Liu Shiba and said respectfully:
"House Governor, do you see?"
Liu Shiba's eyes turned cold and he said coldly:
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
Baba Nobufusa trembled all over and said tremblingly:
"Not considered a soldier? But what about those people in the city?"
Liu Shiba slowly turned his head and sneered, looking at the racecourse Xinfang with expressionless eyes...
In an instant, all the ministers of the Takeda family felt a chill rising from their spines...
"Commander!"
Baba Nobuka is indeed an old and cunning minister. After a few breaths, he regained his composure, waved his hand and said to the messenger:
"Order! The Chibei Cavalry, Yamamoto Tianfang and Nizi Jiujiu, led the Chibei Cavalry to pursue the soldiers who abandoned the city and killed them all.
The rest, the remaining retainers and generals, led the ashigaru, archers, and artillery troops to attack Noda Castle——"
Having said this, Baba Nobuka glanced at Liu Shiba, turned back, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and exhaled:
"Massacre the city!"
"Ah? Nani?"
The order was sent with his mouth wide open in disbelief.
Even he, a warrior, had never heard such an outrageous and ridiculous military order.
These days, population is the greatest wealth. Have you ever seen a madman who wants to kill all the people in the city?
"hehe!"
Liu Shiba chuckled, looked up at the smoke-filled castle tower, and added:
"Leave no chickens or dogs behind! Finally, pour kerosene on the body and Noda Castle and burn them clean."
"ha!"
The generals standing behind Liu Shiba agreed at the same time.
There was trembling in their voices...
In the Mikawa region, Noda Castle, the hub of the Tokugawa territory, finally fell completely...
……………………
Outside Noda Castle, there is also a vast wilderness with a wide field of vision. In the narrowest place, there is a blank area of five or six miles.
The Tokugawa family's defenders, who took advantage of the chaos to escape from Noda Castle, numbered less than two hundred.
The trick is that this group of defeated soldiers are reluctant to part with frivolous wealth. They bring a huge number of family members and luggage. The total number of people exceeds five hundred, and their speed is as slow as a snail...
"boom!"
"Tap tap - tap tap!"
A huge roar on the ground and the very regular sound of horse hooves came from behind the defeated troops.
"Akabeki?"
"Nani? Are you really going to die now?"
"Sir, it's the Takeda family's Chibeki, are they chasing me?"
An ashigaru said to a military commander in fear.
The general turned his head in horror and looked at Chi Bei's whirlwind sprint. He couldn't help but howl loudly:
"We even gave up the city, why are we still pursuing you? We just took away some silk and grain..."
The accompanying women, children and ashigaru began to collapse and fled in all directions...
……………………
"Yamamoto-sama? How about it?"
Ni Zi followed Meng Tianfang for a long time and asked in a low voice.
The short period of high-intensity combat made Ni Zi admire the fighting bravery of Meng Tianfang and his group of forty-seven personal guards for a long time!
"Kill! Leave no chickens or dogs behind."
When Meng Tian looked around, there were only two words flashing in his eyes: cold!
"ha!"
Nizi's face trembled for a long time, and she respectfully agreed.
The formation of the Chibei cavalry attack remains unchanged, it is still the cone attack formation.
But this time, the opponent no longer has a city wall for defense!
Hundreds of people began to flee crazily!
Escape desperately...
Infantry against the Takeda family's Akabi Cavalry? Looking for death?
…………………………
A few hours later, a fire suddenly broke out in the direction of Noda Castle in Mikawa, and thick black smoke instantly filled the entire sky...
The Tokugawa family's Noda Castle was completely burned down!
The flames soaring into the sky can be clearly seen fifty miles away, which is shocking...
