"I don't know why you all came to me?" the northern military commander looked at several islanders and said.
"General, we are here this time on the orders of General Tokugawa Ieyasu to discuss an alliance with the general!"
"Form an alliance, haha." The Northern Army General looked at the few islanders and couldn't help laughing.
"Our general has also heard about the general's affairs. General Tokugawa Ieyasu feels unworthy of the general. The general worked hard for the court, but in the end he was abandoned by the Central Plains court." Several people from the island country said this, seeing the faces of the Northern Army.
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable and quickly continued: "We also know that the general has rebelled out of the Central Plains. Although the general and his army are extraordinary, it is not an easy task to feed this one hundred thousand army. Tokugawa
Ieyasu went out of his way to ask for an appointment from His Majesty the Emperor!" As he said this, several islanders took out an imperial edict and handed it to the Northern Army general.
The Northern Army took the imperial edict, looked at it, and threw it to his subordinates. They looked at several islanders and sneered and said: "Haha, Nara is in our hands now. Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to use a Nara castle lord to form an alliance with us. Yes
Who gave him the confidence?"
"The general has misunderstood. The general currently only occupies Nara City. The area under Nara's jurisdiction is very large. If the general takes over this appointment, then the entire Nara area, several subordinate cities, and hundreds of thousands of people will all be assigned to the general!"
Hearing this, the Northern Army general fell silent. The Northern Army actually looked down upon the defeated generals like the islanders. However, everyone in the Northern Army also understood that they were now destitute dogs. Regardless of their 100,000 troops, they were almost the same in the island country.
An invincible army, but in a foreign country, if they don't get enough territory and population, they will eventually perish.
After pondering for a while, the Northern Army coach looked at the islanders with a sullen face and said, "Tell me about your conditions."
Several people from the island country were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately said: "The general also knows the situation in Osaka. Osaka is still controlled by the Central Plains forces. Osaka can be said to be a nail in the island country for the Central Plains. If it is not pulled out, it will be
This is a nail. The Central Plains can enter the island country at any time. Whether it is for our island country or for the safety of the general, this nail must be removed."
"You want us to help you remove this nail?"
Several islanders nodded immediately, and the Northern Army General said: "Do you know how many defenders there are in Osaka now? More than 100,000 people, and they are all martial arts forces, and there are naval forces in the outer sea to support them.
Do you think it makes sense to capture Osaka?" The leader of the Northern Army is a player who knows Osaka very well. After all, the two sides have fought side by side. He knows that as long as the island country has no way to gain control of the sea, it will still be impossible to hold Osaka.
"General! Even if Osaka is destroyed, it cannot remain in the hands of the Central Plains forces!"
Hearing this, the Northern Army General looked at several islanders in surprise. Unexpectedly, the Northern Army General, and even Zeng Yi on the beam, also looked surprised at this time, "Mad! The Islanders actually plan to destroy Osaka.
! Tokugawa Ieyasu is really amazing!"
For the current island country, in fact, the most important thing is to drive the Central Plains forces out of the island country. Taking Osaka but being unable to hold it, destroying Osaka is indeed a way to stop the Central Plains.
Everyone in the Northern Army was silent again. After a while, the Northern Army general said, "Tell me about the situation in Osaka."
"General, General Tokugawa Ieyasu organized a hundred thousand elite troops to attack Osaka. He gained a certain advantage in the front and even broke through the Osaka defenders' defense lines several times. However, just a few days ago, the Osaka defenders suddenly gained a
A very powerful ballista, the army can't move any further!"
"Ballista! What kind?"
After listening to the narrations of several islanders, the expressions of everyone in the Northern Army suddenly changed, "Three-bow bed crossbow!" The three-bow bed crossbow was once a weapon used by the Northern Army against the grassland people, so they naturally knew how powerful the three-bow bed crossbow was.
A deputy general next to the Northern Army general immediately said, "General, the three-bow crossbow is a weapon of the imperial court. It is very likely that the imperial court has already intervened! If there are many of them, I do not recommend attacking Osaka!"
When several people from the island nation heard this, they became anxious and quickly said: "Gentlemen, we can guarantee that there are no armies from the Central Plains in Osaka now, they are all Jianghu forces from the Central Plains!"
The commander of the Northern Army thought for a while and said: "You have already seen how powerful the three-bow bed crossbows are. Let's put it this way, as long as there are more than fifty three-bow bed crossbows in Osaka, unless the enemy is several times more powerful, they will pay extremely heavy losses.
Otherwise there is no way we can win Osaka!"
Several people from the island nation became even more anxious, "General, you should know the importance of Osaka and it cannot be left in the hands of the Central Plains forces!"
The Northern Army general waved his hand, "If you want to take Osaka, there is no chance, but you need experts."
"Master?" Several islanders looked at the Northern Army general in confusion.
"Yes, doesn't Hattori Hanzo, Tokugawa Ieyasu's subordinate, control this ninja army? Organize a team of experts and sneak into Osaka secretly. As long as Osaka's three-bow crossbow is destroyed, it is not difficult to capture Osaka!"
"It's not a problem at all. As long as the general agrees, we will immediately mobilize ninjas, but we also hope that the general can also send a team of elites to assist!"
...
Zeng Yi, who was on the beam, looked at the people below with gritted teeth, and suppressed the urge to rush down, "Mader, you traitor!"
Zeng Yi also knew the importance of the Three-Gong Crossbow to Osaka Castle. As the Northern Army Commander said, without the Three-Gong Crossbow, Osaka Castle would not have been able to withstand the joint attack of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Northern Army.
Seeing the Northern Army and the islanders leaving, Zeng Yi quickly jumped down and said, "We can't spend any more time here. We must find a way to get out and rush back to Osaka to arrange it in advance. Otherwise, Osaka will really fall into the hands of these guys."
It’s dangerous!”
Zeng Yi quickly sent a flying pigeon letter to the three bosses, asking them to find ways to cover him out. When the three heard that the Northern Army had colluded with Tokugawa Ieyasu, they also knew the seriousness of the situation and took action immediately.
.
That night, a fire suddenly broke out near the Osaka Castle Palace. The buildings in the island country are basically all wooden structures. The most feared thing is the fire. The fire spread very quickly and soon threatened the Castle Palace. The Castle Palace suddenly became chaotic. North
The officers of the army quickly summoned their men to put out the fire.
Hearing the noise outside, Zeng Yi knew that the opportunity had come. He looked outside and saw that the guards around him were all going to put out the fire. He quickly seized the opportunity and ran out of the room. Zeng Yi, who ran out of the room, took advantage of the chaos and changed his clothes.
The clothes of the Northern Army were mixed in the crowd, and no one noticed anything unusual.
