Chapter 169 Changes in the overall situation
Speaking of a distraction, when we were dealing with the Rakshasa soldiers who died in battle with us, as well as the families of the generals who were forcibly killed, we paid the subsidies completely according to the death standards of our three**s.
This really shocked everyone inside and outside. I have never heard of giving away death pensions to my enemies!
But the effect was also equally good. Not only was a group of panic-defying orphans and widows crying and kneeling to thank them, but the other Ichinai army was shocked. Whether they were working or going out to undergo the test of two people, their morale increased tenfold and they directly reached the full value.
Naturally, some old villagers in the village don’t understand much and even say some words in secret.
But my father and I don’t care about this at all. We must do everything that promotes the integration of Sanguo Village and Shirouchi City as soon as possible. If we calm down earlier, we will have great benefits for us earlier.
Finally, I calculated that the population of Shibunei City is actually quite large, and even when they managed it themselves, it was very chaotic. Now that the calculation is completed, their population is not 20,000, but more than 25,000 people.
Whether or not these five thousand people is not a big problem for us, but we will be happy and have increased our strength a lot.
The same old saying goes, when you can afford it, there will be more people and more power.
The news that all the staff of Shibunei City moved to Liuyin Harbour and the two companies combined into one soon spread through our deliberate dissemination and spread to every corner of Xiayi Island.
In addition, the tempting slogan "Join Sanguo Village and stay in Yinhai Harbour for the cold winter. When you come, you will have a house to live in and have something to eat." Many villages in the central and even eastern areas have also brought their families to come over, and everyone knows the reason why it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big trees.
One after another, starting from the end of August, dozens or hundreds of people come to join us every day. I believe that by the end of September, the number will still increase even more.
When Takezaki Yupeng knew about our fusion, he was angry and fearful. Not only did he have no choice but to get into greater trouble.
At the beginning of September, it happened to be the cold season in the north, but in the south of Essay Island, it was still bright and cool in autumn and the climate was very comfortable.
At this time, the Hatan army would certainly not let such a good army go, and directly raised 8,000 troops, and under the escort of two thousand navy troops, from Nobube, heading ashore and heading straight to Sapporo Castle.
What made Takezaki Tomoto the most outrageous was that Hatan Junmao actually colluded with the Tsukaya army. The Eight Thousand Tsukaya army rushed to Otaru Castle and Chitose Castle respectively, and cut off the connection between the three cities. Not only did they even come to besiege the city, striving to defeat each of them.
Otaru Castle is the most miserable. There are no naval troops, and there are still ports to enter and exit. The Tsuguku Naval Army and Hatan Naval Army directly rushed into Otaru Port from the East Sea and attacked the infantrymen on the land. Nomura Takahei cried and begged His Highness Takezaki to save me quickly, otherwise the city of Otaru will be destroyed within ten days.
Takezaki Tomoto himself was unable to protect himself, so he could not care about Otaru Castle. So on the tenth day of September, Otaru Castle was broken, and Nomura Takahei led 300 soldiers to fight to the end in Tianshou Pavilion, without any left.
The remaining soldiers from Otaru Castle, led by Shinzhu Nomura, fled outside the city while the Hatan army and the Tsugu-Ku army occupied the city and escaped smoothly.
On the same day, on September 10th, Qiansui City fell.
The pressure on Qiansui City was not that great, but because their soldiers were so bad, they were directly broken through a city wall by the twelve consecutive charges of casualties by the Jin Qing army. Then the Qiansui Army completely collapsed and fled, giving the entire city defense to the Jin Qing army.
After the city was broken, Mitsunori Maeyama led all the soldiers and civilians to surrender to the Hatan army.
At this point, only Sapporo Castle is still in the hands of the Wuqi family in all South Essay Island.
Even though the Wuqi family was well-managed by Sapporo City, with sufficient food and supplies and many soldiers and widespread generals, a feeling of being isolated and helpless gradually spread among the Wuqi army.
With the capture of Chitose Castle and Otaru Castle, the Hatan army and the Tsugusuka army also gathered at Sapporo Castle and gradually began to attack Sapporo Castle, which had been encircled but did not attack in the past.
We have always been closely watching the war in the south, and scouts are constantly flooding them. During this period, we also had contact with the Hatan army and the Tsugu-Ku army, but they didn't care much about our little scouts. They drove us away and stopped caring about it.
...
At this moment, we suddenly had a surprise.
On September 12, Saburo Kamura, who had been commanding the scouts, suddenly ran to the conference room and reported an important news.
"What?"
We were discussing the situation, and we were overjoyed: "Are you saying true?"
"It's true!" Saburo Kamura was also very excited: "Now they are more than a hundred miles away, and have crossed Longchuan from the path and were answered by our scouts. Now His Highness Yamazaki asked, are we going to accept them?"
"Yes! Of course!"
Master Ba slapped the table, "***, I didn't expect that Nomura Shinzhu is really a sensible person. He knows what a person who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
I was smiling so hard that my face was about to bloom. Nomura Shinzhu led a thousand soldiers to break through the blockade. He did not go to Sapporo City, but to come to join us. Isn’t it prove that the strength of our Sanguo Village has made people feel that we can join us?
If Shinju Nomura brought out a thousand people, most of them were Otaru Castle's naval army. This cannot be said to be a timely help to Sanguo Village, which lacks orthodox naval soldiers, but it is definitely a great help.
"You tell me to help them along the way, bring them all food and clothing... Oh, and ask Dr. Xu for more hemostatic medicine, and be sure to save them as much as possible!" The master quickly told Uncle Sanlang.
"yes!"
Saburo Kamura quickly bowed and prepared.
When he left, Lauren's father sighed slightly: "It seems that the Wuqi family really can't stand it this time. Even the loyal Nomura family members have lost confidence in them."
"Can you not lose your confidence?" Ba Ye snorted: "Except for the three thousand naval forces, the Hatan army and the Tsuga army have at least 15,000 people. After losing Otaru and Chitose Castle, the Takesaki army has at most 8,000. And Sapporo Castle has become a real lonely city. Without help or morale, it is their luck to be able to survive for a month!"
The weather in the southwest of Essay Island is better than that in our place. It will basically start to be cold in late October. Even in November, December and January, it will be cold due to the biting cold wind blowing from the Jinqing Strait, but these two months are the best combat opportunities.
It has to be said that Hatan Junmaki is very powerful. After he looted the southwest in the Xiachu last time, it greatly damaged the morale of the Wuqi army.
Now that the comeback is coming, it is just the time to oppress Otaru, Sapporo and Chitose Sancheng's nerves again, making their already relaxed nerves no longer as tense as last time, and thus they were rushing to break through the two cities in one go. Now that morale is soaring, how can they not be able to get it?
