Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 896

[Chapter 896 Suppression]

White River City.

The Watanabe case observed the camp five miles away through a telescope.

This is the camp of the combined forces of the Oda family and the Maori family.

After arriving outside Baihe City, the two coalition forces did not launch an attack except to send cavalry to scout around Baihe City.

It seems to be waiting for something.

This made him immediately uneasy, and at the same time, various conjectures appeared in his mind.

One of the guesses is that they are waiting for support.

But Hojo’s family and Ono were three hundred miles away on the western coast, and Yamano Haruno was in charge of resisting.

It must not be them.

Then the only possibility left is the worst he expected.

They are waiting for King Yan’s army.

“Have you found the Yanwang fleet along the coast of Edo?” Putting down the binoculars, he asked the cavalry general beside him.

Before going to Baihe City, he left a cavalry in charge of scouting in the Edo area.

“No.” The cavalry general said, “but if the general’s guess is correct, they must be hiding somewhere.”

Watanabe nodded, and the general said, “Ambush your 20,000 cavalry on both sides of the valley In the mountains and forests, the King of Yan must not have many soldiers, if they attack from the direction of Edo, they will surprise them.” After

a pause, he continued, “I will give you another 80,000 infantry to fight the King of Yan head-on, so that Due to the surprise attack of your cavalry.”

Before heading to Baihe City, he had predicted the worst situation.

But he knew that it was not wise to stay in Edo and let the four northern vassals go south calmly to control the valley.

Because on the Edo Plain, they were no match for the Oda family, the Mori family, and King Yan.

It’s better to take a risky move by soldiers to resist the coalition forces on the surface, but in fact they want to wipe out King Yan’s army in one fell swoop.

The remaining 20,000 cavalry are treasures he is willing to use, and the 80,000 infantry he sent are also elites under his command.

If King Yan’s army can be wiped out, the Oda family and the Maoli family will definitely be terrified, and when the time comes, it will be easy to defeat him again.

Once Oda and Mori’s army fled, he could join Haruno Yamada’s army, kill Hojo Kawakei and Ono Town, and then revive the army and once again dominate Dongying.

After that, wait for the Western natives to destroy the King Yan fleet, and the entire Dongpu will be revived.

Thinking of this, his hands trembled slightly.

It’s a gamble.

If he loses, he loses everything.

If he wins, he wins everything.

…

At the same time, the Oda family and the Mori family camped out.

Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu were also observing Shirakawa Castle with binoculars.

In their field of vision, the figure of the Watanabe case was very clear.

“This telescope is really powerful. It’s a masterpiece of His Highness Yan Wang.” Putting away the telescope, Oda Yamasawa gently stroked the black metal shell of the telescope, just like he used to stroke his own sword.

This telescope was a gift from Dong An, the special envoy of the King of Yan.

They had never seen this thing before.

Although, they knew that the Watanabe case had gained some from the Western natives.

But because of the Watanabe case’s defense against the northern domain, it was impossible for them to obtain it.

In contrast, King Yan was very generous to them.

Moreover, they were supplied with such powerful muskets as muzzle-loading rifles.

If it is the Watanabe case, even if they pay, the other party will not sell it.

“Of course, this is our latest monocular. It has a painted metal casing, and the glass lens has been precisely ground by a grinder. The glass used for the lens is also the purest, which is much clearer than the broken ones given to Watanabe by the natives of the West. It’s gone.” Dong An said lightly.

“I see, it’s amazing.” Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu exchanged glances.

Although they couldn’t understand what Dong An was saying, they thought it must be very powerful.

This made them even more in awe of King Yan.

Dong An smiled.

The monocular is not a novelty in Dasong.

Even the captains in the army are equipped with binoculars, and only one is needed.

Among the folks, binoculars with slightly inferior quality are just ordinary goods.

As long as you have money, you can buy it.

These two were just bought at a shop in Yancheng before he left.

It’s just an ordinary telescope, which is still somewhat different from what the army uses.

But even so, it is much better than the old-fashioned telescopes given to Japan by the natives of the West.

And after he gave the telescope to the four feudal lords.

The four telescopes bought with only 8 taels of silver were exchanged for 4,000 taels of silver donated by the four people.

Thinking of this, he still can’t help but laugh.

However, this just confirms Dasong’s overwhelming advantage over Japan in terms of military and industry.

Industrial products that are commonplace in Dasong are rare in Japan.

To eliminate the Watanabe case, control the more populous and wealthier Dongying South.

This will become a qualified market for Dasong.

“Dong Anjun, do we have to wait any longer? We are confident of defeating the Watanabe case.” After sighing for a while, Mao Li Yousheng pointed to Baihe City and said.

In addition to front-loading rifles this time, Da Song sold them some smoothbore field guns.

The power of these field guns also amazed them.

“When the bastard in the Watanabe case looked at us just now, he showed a contemptuous smile. He thought we were his prodigal sons. I couldn’t wait to defeat him.” Oda Yamazawa said angrily.

“Don’t worry, when we receive a reply from the Marine Corps, we will launch an attack on Baihe City to ensure that the Watanabe case will not escape this time.” Dong An narrowed his eyes.

After waiting for more than a day, Dong An received Gong Ying’s letter.

In the letter, Gong Ying said that the marines had already landed in Edo and surrounded Baihe City.

After getting the news, Dong An gave Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yukatsu the order to attack.

“Yes, Mr. Dong An, please watch the battle in the camp. This battle will be a gift from us to His Royal Highness King Yan.” Oda Shanze licked his lips, with a hint of madness in his eyes.

Maori Yousheng said, “Dong Anjun, we know your intentions for this arrangement, but our Oda family and the Maori family are definitely not cowards, this time, we will not let you down, we can defeat the Watanabe case on our own. Patting his chest ,

Yukatsu Mori said to the generals, “It’s time to show your courage, push the field artillery forward, launch an attack, and take Shirakawa Castle for me.”

Oda Yamazawa also waved to the generals under his command.

At this time, the whole camp seemed to come alive.

One hundred thousand soldiers came out of the camp one after another, and came to Baihe City located at the pass of the valley.

“Boom boom boom…” The

artillery was in place and immediately launched an artillery attack on Baihe City.

Solid bullets hit Baihe City one after another, and debris flew all over the sky.

Although the field artillery sold by Yang Feng to the northern four feudal clans has been eliminated.

But the range and power of these artillery are still not a bit stronger than the old artillery of the Watanabe case.

The artillery on Baihe City faced the coalition artillery that was out of range and could only be beaten passively.
