Chapter 1274: The cold order, the slaughter of the five cities
Liu Shiba had a ferocious look on his face and gritted his teeth while explaining with a sinister smile. These threatening words made the Ashigaru people gathered under the stage both happy and frightened!
Behind Liu Shiba, a person asked:
"My lord? Isn't it safer for soldiers to carry three-day rations with them?"
Liu Shiba turned his head and saw that the person speaking was Takeda Katsuyori. He was indeed not stupid. He knew the military basis of moving troops and horses before food and grass were used!
Therefore, Liu Shiba took advantage of the situation and yelled at the confused soldiers and generals:
"Listen clearly! I have no intention of letting you take a grain of military rations privately into battle. Anyone who violates this rule will be beheaded and the whole family will be implicated and demoted as slaves!
It's safe to say! Just follow my way to attack the city and obey the generals' orders.
Don't the soldiers need to go into the city to rest after the city is captured?
Don’t you like to drink from a big bowl, eat a big piece of meat, and stare at the dancing of the city lord’s dancers? Isn’t it safe?”
"boom!"
"ha!"
"My lord is wise!"
In the square, tens of thousands of ashigaru responded in unison. The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and then they roared and praised the lord for his wisdom!
Seeing that they had not been able to make enough scallion pancakes and steamed buns for the past three months, the ashigaru's roars spread through the fields and shook the sky!
In the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, the primitive madness, plunder, aggression, and greed of animals gradually revealed!
Yes! This is the nature of primitive humans!
Only an army full of desire and plundering ambitions can sweep through the surrounding cities and lay the foundation for some of the weird methods Liu Shiba is about to do!
Liu Shiba needs blood!
Tens of thousands of military souls are enough to offer sacrifices to the Seven Ghosts Mourning Door Nail...
Noda Castle, what’s the secret behind you?
Seeing that morale was high, Liu Shiba took advantage of the situation and encouraged him:
"Everyone! You want the famous daimyo to see your ashigaru grace and bravery.
Let them know what it means to have impermanent water and impermanent forces...
Let them see how humble peasants and soldiers, with no armor or sharp swords around their waists, broke into their cities and stole their gold..."
"Ho ho ho!"
"Ho ho ho!"
The ashigaru people under the high platform are really excited. They can defeat the lord samurai castle lord, something they didn't dare to think about before. How exciting is it?
Strike while the iron is hot, Liu Shiba released another piece of good news:
"After wiping out a city, how about all the gold, silver and treasures, and the common military commanders ashigaru, share 50% of the dividends, leaving 50% of the Takeda clan's military resources for the next battle?"
This was tantamount to spreading rumors, but it made the Takeda veterans on the high platform, who tried to act calm and composed, no longer calm down...
Even Takeda Nobushige, the official accountant of the Takeda family, got down on the ground and begged:
"Ha! My lord is wise, and I solemnly request that I serve as the vanguard general in this battle..."
Ganli Hutai rushed behind Takeda Xinlian and added:
"Lord! I, Ganli Hutai, have great military exploits and superb equestrian skills. I am definitely more than twice as fast as Lord Xinlian..."
"Lord! I request..."
"I, Sanada Nobui, have surrendered to the lord, but I have not made any achievements, my lord..."
"I! Takeda Katsuyori feels that I am more confident in this battle, so I feel that I am still qualified to be the general!"
Takeda Katsuyori smiles, and when he cracks his mouth, he reveals three big gold teeth, which makes him look as ugly as possible!
The sight of all the generals and retainers on the high platform calling for battle at the same time made the ashigaru people in the audience even more excited!
What does this mean?
"This battle must be won..."
"Otherwise, those pen-headed folks! Will they be able to hold on after they've had enough to eat?"
All eyes finally focused on Liu Shiba!
At this time, House Supervisor Liu Shiba, facing tens of thousands of people, Feng Qingyun Dan, stretched out his hand to suppress the huge noise, put his hands behind his back and chuckled:
"For this five-city attack! I have only one request. The generals must work hard and complete it strictly!"
"ha!"
All the retainers and generals of the Takeda family knelt down at the same time and prepared to accept the order!
"After conquering the city and enjoying the wine, dancing, beauties, and ladies, the five cities were slaughtered without leaving a single living person!"
This is the head of the family who dares to lead ten thousand people to destroy five cities...
