A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 73 32. We are very professional in robbery

The long-tailed Kagetora charged back and forth for a long time, and the horse was replaced by the third horse. The man was certainly not invulnerable. Although Nagao Kagetora is quite tired now, his energy is even better than before, and he has an urge to bow down.

Koheita secretly thought that this was probably the legendary aura of overlord. Anyway, even the protagonist Yamauchi Yoshiharu and the strong-hearted Lord Ashikaga Yoshito were not as strong in this aura.

Many people don't believe that when someone is born, the room is filled with a fragrant fragrance or a red light is possessed. Xiaoping Taishou also doesn't believe in any natural phenomena. The idea that Xuanyuan Huangdi and Xiang Yu both have double pupils and will inevitably reach the top of the world does not sound reliable. However, many people must have experienced the aura and infectious power exuded by people.

To use a newer term, this thing is called charisma. He is naturally able to attract people, make people bow to him and become his younger brother willingly.

Nagao Kagetora, who was in a good mood, took the hand of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who was extremely excited, and walked to the top of the base together. He shook his head and pointed at Odawara Castle several miles away. The two of them stood at a high place to give instructions and distribute orders.

Soon, five thousand of the Nagatail Army and three thousand of the Ou Army entered Odawara Town, and then took control of various city gates and passes. They eliminated the remaining defeated soldiers along the streets, cleaned up the corpses, and collected usable weapons and flags.

As for why other troops were stopped and temporarily parked outside the city. It's very simple. The population of Odawara Town exceeds 40,000, and countless craftsmen and businessmen have accumulated huge wealth and supplies. No matter who sees these things, they will be moved.

After thoroughly controlling all the joints in the town and guarding various places at the Odawara Castle Gate, Nagao Kagetora summoned the Kanto generals and said bluntly that they would not be allowed to enter the town to plunder, and all the Nagao troops would do it (after all, we are the most professional). At this time, the faces of all the Kanto generals were extremely ugly, but soon he allowed each family to send trusted samurai as witnesses to check the specific gains of the Long Tail Army. Then distribute them according to the amount of force used during the siege.

At this time, all the daimyo who had been forced by Nagao Kagetora to rush into the city were very happy. I have tried my best to rush through the city before. They all said: "But I will listen to Mr. Zheng's instructions." Then in a harmonious atmosphere, the most cheerful military meeting so far ended.

On the second day, an observation group of several hundred people from the Kwantung Allied Forces entered the town. In front of Hojo Ujiyasu and his son in the city, a long-tailed army of nearly 10,000 people marched from the streets to the alleys and broke open the doors of the town, which had been in panic all night. He was very skillful in lifting the floor, ripping out the beams, and knocking on the walls. His methods were indeed very professional and skillful.

The level is more familiar to everyone who lives here. You can find bamboo baskets hanging from the beams, not to mention the warehouse kitchen, bedroom and living room. As long as they go looking for something, they will definitely gain something, and their robbery skill points must be at the full level.

He could even dig out the few copper coins that were pressed under the pillars when the house was built, and there was almost no omission. They didn't want to use any method of torture at all. They didn't even ask the owner of the house and did everything themselves. Some people even dug directly based on the different growth and development of weeds in the yard, and sure enough, there was a jar of copper coins underground.

This made the observation group of the Kanto generals marvel. It was true that they did not come to grab it themselves. They should learn these techniques carefully and take out a small notebook to record them one by one for future reference.

In just two days, the entire town of Odawara was wiped out by three feet. Everything from livestock, carts and horses to rice bowls and straw sandals was pulled out as long as the long-tailed soldiers thought it was useful. Everyone from the samurai to the ashigaru were bloated, and their bodies were stuffed with all kinds of loot.

As for Nagao Kagetora himself, he directly controls the rice warehouses and rice houses everywhere. After all, money is an external thing, and rice is true love. He also let the soldiers hide some small things privately, and most of the remaining records were placed in the camp outside the city. The adjective "mountainful" is very accurate.

After a thorough search, Nagao Kagetora recruited all the men aged between fifteen and sixty and the women aged between fifteen and forty in the town, together with the people who had been arrested randomly before, and began to completely exhume the four generations (why? What about the fourth generation? Because Ujimasa has taken over in name, and although Ujiyasu is in power, he is a retired person), the magnificent earth fort was built with great pains, and all the soil was filled in on the wide Mizuhori.

No matter how far this battle ends, the vast and wide five-mile-long outer base of Odawara Castle will definitely not be left. Unless this earthen wall is destroyed, Odawara will still be the most difficult to attack and fortified city in Kanto, as long as things are a little repetitive.

So under the watchful eyes of the gangsters in Kanto, they drove countless people, shovel by shovel, ten meters high, with the thickest point reaching twenty-two meters. The Odawara earth fortress was built bit by bit with countless manpower and material resources. Disappeared in everyone's eyes.

At the same time, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was invited by Nagao Kagetora, came belatedly with two thousand people under the banner of Eryinryo and Red Bird Horse. No one will believe you if you say he didn't do it at random. Since the withdrawal of Hojo Ujiki and Matsuda Yasugo, there were not many people holding on to Nirayama Castle and Yamanaka Castle. With his ability, Imagawa Yoshimoto would have to fight for half a month?

He is indeed a cunning and cunning talent! I was afraid that I would be thrown into the meat grinder of Odawara if I came early, and use my name as a samurai ashigaru to attack the city.

Kodaira estimated that this person must have already deployed people to observe and report the movements of Nagao Kagetora at any time, and he would come back to pick peaches when the matter was about to settle down. This technique is cheesy, but effective.

Nagao Kagetora is not a fool, and he will not expose the fact that Imagawa Yoshimoto reserved his strength and did not participate in the siege. On the surface, he still pretended to be flattered. Imagawa Yoshimoto also received a grand welcome from the superficial brothers of Nagao Kagetora, and gathered the Kanto generals to hold a grand banquet.

During the dinner, glasses were exchanged, and the already cheerful atmosphere became even more lively. Kanto Salted Fish, who didn't produce much power in one vote, boasted to Imagawa Yoshimoto about how powerful he was and how he commanded soldiers to fight the Hojo Army for three hundred rounds, competing for it repeatedly. Anyway, Imagawa Yoshimoto is very well-educated and will not expose them at all.

And Nagao Kagetora must have realized something was wrong since he got angry last time, and he has restrained himself a lot now. Don't say much when you hear them bragging, just listen to them quietly.

Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that the once mighty Odawara outer fortress was now demolished to pieces and the flags in the city were crooked. Imagawa Yoshimoto volunteered and was willing to send people into the city to negotiate.

Nagao Kagetora was worried that there was no heavyweight intermediary, so he happily agreed.
