Chapter 1376: The Battle of the City, the Life of Resistance
"Nani?"
This sudden news from the racecourse letter house will
Liu Shiba, who was sitting upright with his back straight and showing off his posture, jumped three feet high in shock.
This news came too suddenly. According to Liu Shiba's prediction, Mouri Katsunaga was definitely a general worthy of being entrusted.
This point has been clearly verified from the historical records of later generations——
The Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family decisively defeated Osaka Castle, but it was the already weak Toyotomi family that was ultimately defeated.
Among the five members of the Osaka Castle who represented the Toyotomi family, the only general who led his own army and retreated to Osaka Castle was Mori Katsunaga.
In the end, after helping Toyotomi Hideyori behead and correct his mistake, Katsunaga Mori also committed suicide by caesarean section, fulfilling the promise he made at the beginning.
To a certain extent, it is speculated that Liu Shiba's understanding of Mouri Katsunaga and the Sanada family's understanding of Sanada Yukimura's life path made him boldly make the decision to appoint Mouri Katsunaga as his commander.
Therefore, what Baba Nobuka said just now was that Maori Katsunaga and the Five Route Army disappeared without a trace, which shocked Liu Shiba so much.
He didn't believe it and didn't dare to think about it!
If the Five Route Army, including some auxiliary troops accompanying the army, was close to 20,000 people, it was just gone?
How is this possible?
"No wonder——"
Liu Shiba walked back and forth, looking anxious and confused.
Now, he finally understood why Deura was seriously injured. Why Noda Castle suddenly had strong enemies approaching, even approaching within a thousand meters of the city wall.
All because the five cities surrounding Noda Castle fell simultaneously and lost their buffers and barriers after the sudden disappearance of Mouri Katsunaga's army.
But! What Liu Shiba faced was not only the survival of Noda City, but also the life and death of Lao Hei who had grown up with him.
That stupid dog actually rushed into the underground palace where black and white were unknown, and his life or death was uncertain. This stupid dog was also the last thought that Grandpa left for him. Can he just ignore it?
Also, can Li Ergou, the old driver and the others, who followed him through the timeline and came to the Warring States Period, ignore them?
Not to mention...
But now, what should we do?
Katsunaga Mori, where have you been? More importantly, the five troops carrying new rifles have disappeared...
In an instant, Liu Shiba couldn't help but feel confused...
………………
Liu Shiba was anxious, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from behind him:
"Lord! I believe that people who are suspicious should not be used, but those who are employed should not be suspected..."
"Um?"
Liu Shiba turned his head, and the person who spoke was Ni Zijiujiu.
"What do you think?"
Liu Shiba squinted his eyes, but his heart felt a little rippled. When did he become so panicked?
Could it be because this time during the Warring States Period, he was able to occupy a high position and become famous?
The feeling of one person being worshiped by tens of thousands of people and having the power of life and death is really intoxicating...
The more relaxed you become, the more you fear losing. This is the crux of the matter, right?
Thinking of the transparent place, Liu Shiba's mood suddenly brightened, a smile appeared on his face, and he secretly blamed himself!
That's right, since I have blocked Mouri Katsunaga and Sanada Yukimura, what else do I have to worry about?
"It's okay! Just say whatever comes to your mind, I won't blame you."
Liu Shiba looked at Ni Zi for a long time with a smile.
"My subordinates think! Lord Mouri Katsunaga might be leading the five-pronged army, hiding in a secret place, watching Noda Castle with eager eyes..."
As Ni Zijiujiu spoke, he raised his hand to make a beheading motion and added:
"The Takeda family is currently engaged in a battle around the city, so all the auxiliaries and civilians in the city will automatically become soldiers.
Based on the budget of the three thousand elite ashigaru and auxiliary troops of the Takeda family and the weapons they are equipped with, the enemy's siege is not that easy to fight.
In particular, the urn fortress built by Mr. Sanada Yukimura at the south gate is the key to entering the inner city.
The remaining three city gates are all narrow and cannot be used by the army to attack the city. Hundreds of iron artillery can defend it...
As long as I resist desperately, I dare say that Noda Castle will be difficult to fall in a short time. The key is..."
Liu Shiba's eyes flashed and he hesitated:
"There are two key points. One is whether the city's water sources, food, weapons and ammunition are sufficient to be consumed?
Another point should be - Mouri Katsunaga, can he lead his army to deliver a fatal blow to the besieging army from behind when the enemy army is tired?"
"Ha! The head of the family is right, that's exactly what it is!"
Nizi has been flattering me for a long time and quietly flattered me.
