A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 38 43. One person takes one city with one effort

Xiaopingtai was smiling, with the presence of the old god, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands, and the world was within my grasp.

"As I know, Futama Castle has pools and wooden barrels to collect rainwater, but these are of little use. The castle still relies on long drainage trucks set up on the top of the hillside to draw water from the Tenryu River through hanging bottles."

First of all, I stated a fact that everyone knows. No one objects. It is clear from the beginning. The status quo is here and cannot fool anyone.

"I have observed the situation of the Tenryu River in the past few days. According to the water flow of the Tenryu River, Futama Castle will definitely not be in danger of water shortage. Okabe-sama, I wonder if what I said is wrong?" Koheita faced Okabe. Yuan Xin.

Okabe Moto nobu nodded from time to time while listening to Xiaoheita's words. "Of course it is. You can indeed use water bottles to fetch water from the Tianlong River. As long as the water flows continuously, there will never be a shortage of water in the city." Others also agreed that Xiaopingtai was right.

Okabe Motonobu then looked at Xiaoheita with a rather amused expression, and asked Xiaoheita slightly: "I wonder how you, your Excellency, can defeat the city alone?"

Xiaoping Tai was not in a hurry and continued to take his time. "Everyone here must know that defending a city involves many aspects, but military strength and water are the most important among them."

"Futamata Castle has nearly 300 soldiers. The city is small but strong. The soldiers have just been harvested in the summer and have enough food. So his only loophole is the water source. This is also the only way to break the city." Koheita grasped the central point.

"Then it can be said that the success and failure of Futama Castle depends on the waterwheel. It can hold on for more than a year with the help of the waterwheel, but without the waterwheel, the city will be destroyed within three days. So as long as the waterwheel is destroyed, Futama Castle will inevitably fail. The attack breaks itself." Xiao Pingtai hit the ground with his hand, making a dull sound.

At this point, almost everyone has completely fallen into Xiao Pingtai's rhythm. Xiao Pingtai continued calmly: "Only by myself, I only need to build dozens of wooden rafts upstream, cover the river surface, and continuously release them from the upper reaches. Then the wooden rafts will continue to impact the fragile waterwheel. As long as there is one The wooden raft successfully hit the waterwheel, and with the force of the water, the waterwheel would be destroyed immediately. Once the waterwheel was destroyed, I would only have three days left to conquer the city. "(Historically, Takeda Shingen relied on 29,000 men to attack the Futama Castle defended by 1,200 people. The attack failed for many days, and finally relied on destroying the waterwheel to persuade Futama Castle to surrender)

After hearing this, Okabe Moto nobu knelt down quietly for a moment. Then he suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Pingtai, bowed down and worshiped Xiao Pingtai. He solemnly said: "Your talent is a hundred times that of mine. You are truly a wise general without distinction in the whole country!" (The whole country of Japan does not mean the whole of Japan, but a certain country. The world of Japan does not mean the whole of Japan, it still means The kingdom is divided. Some Tokugawa's saying that if Lord Kiyoyasu does not die, he will conquer the world at the age of thirty, it means that if Songping Kiyoyasu does not die at the age of thirty, he will be able to unify the Mikawa Kingdom, that's all.

Kodaira quickly turned sideways to avoid Okabe Motobu's gift and said, "Don't you dare, Okabe-sama is really too polite." He quickly stood up and helped Okabe Motonobu up.

The generals in the mountain were also full of joy. As long as the problem was solved, it would not be difficult at all.

Typically when doing advanced mathematics, you can't write anything except understanding the questions, but it's different when you write to the answers. It must be full of literary thoughts and a hundred times more witty. It's just this explanation. I can know it. It's so simple. Advanced mathematics is really easy. Then I went to the examination room and found out that I was mentally retarded.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu then smiled and asked Okabe Motonobu how he was doing. Okabe Motonobu asked Xiaoping Tai what his surname was and where his family was. Koheta is not shy either. He is directly a Fujiwara Kita family Kainou style, Sanjo public announcement branch, after the regent left minister Tadahira, the last descendant of the prime minister Zikoji, the grandson of Zikoji Nakano, and the son of Major General Zikoji Kingo, put himself in that Dad's name was bought cheaply for twenty dollars.

When Okabe Motonobu heard that she was from a well-known family, there was no one who was not worthy of her reputation. He repeatedly praised Xiaoping Tai for his intelligence, and then turned to face Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

"Your Highness Shinano Mamoru, please don't worry. There is no need to destroy Futamata's waterwheel anymore. Your Majesty will personally come forward to persuade Futamata to surrender. Please Shinano Mamoru wait a moment." Okabe Motobu showed no reluctance at all.

The peace talks were concluded, and Okabe Gennobu immediately rode into the city with a flag. In less than half an hour, more than 300 people, including Sadji Aoki and below, retreated from the city with bare hands. Except for personal belongings and necessary rations, everything was left in the city. Including precious iron cannons and large amounts of food accumulated.

The two hundred people sent by the Yamauchi family soon entered the city. Yamauchi Yoshiharu wrote the monogram of the document and gave it to Okabe Motonobu. And promised not to build more Futama Castle within two years (I believe you). On behalf of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Okabe Motobu thanked Yamauchi Yoshiharu for ensuring the safety of more than 300 people in Futama Castle.

At this point, all official matters were over, and Okabe Motonobu proposed to Yamauchi Yoshiharu to return all Imagawa's heads. Since the peace agreement was concluded, this is what it should be. Yamauchi Yoshiharu must understand this rule. Besides, they are all dead and completely dead, so returning their heads to their families can be considered a good deed.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu immediately ordered several horsemen to rush to the previous temple to pick up the head placed there, and be sure not to keep Okabe Motonobu waiting for too long. You are happy, I am embarrassed to procrastinate.

Seeing that Yamauchi Yoshiharu quickly ordered the matter of the head to be dealt with, Okabe Motonobu was quite satisfied. Only then did he mention that his younger brother Okabebu Tsuna should also be among them, hoping to find him too.

Hearing this, everyone was moved for a moment. Put public affairs before private affairs, be loyal to your master, and never forget your master's mission even if you are close to him and your life is at risk.

Xiaopingtai was even more embarrassed and apologized to him quickly. This world is too small, and what happened is really a coincidence. The head of Okabe Motonobu and his younger brother was named on Koheta Tai's head.

When Okabe Motoshin heard that it was Koheta Tai who killed his younger brother, a feeling of sadness but also a sense of relief came to his heart. It turns out that my younger brother was killed by such a talented and talented samurai, which was indeed not unjust.

After feeling a little sad for a while, Okabe Motobu sighed and said that the best destination for a samurai child to die on the battlefield is. He did not blame or vent his anger on Xiao Ping Tai. Instead, he praised Xiao Ping Tai for his bravery in killing the enemy and his service to the Lord. It was really a good job.

Okabe Motonobu held Koheita's hand with great care and said that if the Imagawa clan and the Yamauchi clan are hostile next time and they meet on the battlefield, he hopes that both parties can do their best. Even if he fails and dies, he has no regrets.

Then Okabe Motoshin carried his younger brother's head away without looking back. Mrs. Kodaira couldn't help but exclaimed: "A true samurai!"
