The sunset fell under the sea level not far away, and the night sky enveloped the earth. The silver-white and bright crescent moon rose into the night sky without realizing it, spreading its silver light on the earth.

After a day of battle, the morale of the crusade army was no longer there.

After a few minutes at night, the siege army lost almost 2,000 people.

Such losses are not small for the siege army.

However, this was the result of Zhao Hongyu's mercy, otherwise it would be impossible for the crusade army to double or even double the losses.

It is unlikely that a battle will take place at night. After all, the crusade army was led by Takahashi, so it consumed too much physical strength.

After three fierce battles during the day, they no longer had much physical strength and launched a decent attack again.

In addition, the loss during the day was quite large, so Feng Shi and Ishida decided to set up camp outside Zhao Hongyu's camp to rest at night, and let the soldiers rest for a while.

On Zhao Hongyu's side, it was obvious that he had no intention of continuing to launch an attack.

People like Zhao Hongyu were very puzzled by Mr. Wang, Liu Dasca, and Tokugawa Kade.

Logically speaking, the situation on the battlefield is now very beneficial to them.

And, after receiving reinforcements from two thousand Gurkha cavalry, the balance of the war had begun to tilt towards them.

If they took the initiative to launch an attack at this time of night, it would not be impossible to defeat the siege army.

But I don’t know what the young His Highness was thinking, but they didn’t want to continue the attack.

Isn’t this giving a chance to attack the army?

It's really hard for people to understand what he thinks.

Now that you have the advantage, you should defeat the enemy in one go and resolve the crisis.

But why did Your Highness do this?

I think there must be something in that row when he does this.

Anyway, everyone can't figure it out.

After retreating for about five miles, the crusade army stationed in a gentle place.

When the crusade army settled down, Zhao Hongyu also called his subordinates to retreat to the camp.

After everyone returned to the camp, Tokugawa Kayo couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, the situation on the battlefield is very beneficial to us now, but why don't you take advantage of the victory to defeat the enemy in one go? You must know that your current approach is to create an opportunity for the other party to restore their combat power, which is very unfavorable to us."

After all, Kayo Tokugawa is a girl from the Wu family. Although she doesn’t like war or something, this does not mean that she doesn’t understand some things in the war.

You know, even on the days of escape, she has to accept some learning.

When Tokugawa Kayo asked this, everyone's eyes were staring at him.

In fact, it was not just that she felt it was strange that she couldn't figure it out, but that no one could figure it out.

However, they are all Zhao Hongyu's subordinates, and they have not been in favour of him for too long.

So, there are some things they can't say.

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he looked around.

They noticed that everyone's eyes were staring at them, looking at them waiting for their answers, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

"Haha," he smiled first, and then said to Tokugawa Kayo: "Oh, it turns out that I'm confused about this, so I'll explain it to you. After all, I don't want you to worry too much about it, thinking I'm a lunatic."

However, before explaining your arrangements to everyone, Zhao Hongyu still needs to arrange some things.

First, the captive soldiers from Osaka will be escorted back to their base.

And, a team of genetic human guards were sent to guard.

The Gurkha cavalry who were reinforced must also find a place to rest for them.

After all this was arranged, Zhao Hongyu took a group of subordinates to the meeting tent to sit down.

Inuchizusa, Kawabian Yuji, Wang Masako and Liu Dasai, Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Chizuru, and Iga all followed him to the tent...

After sitting in the main position, Zhao Hongyu's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone, and then said: "Everyone has seen that the crusade army is definitely not our opponent. With muskets and artillery and two thousand Gurkha cavalry reinforcements, it is easy to destroy the crusade army."

Following Zhao Hongyu's words, everyone nodded constantly.

"And, we have the initiative in the current situation on the battlefield." Zhao Hongyu raised his right hand and clamped his five fingers together into fists. "At the same time, after the daytime, the attacking army suffered a lot. Even if they continue to attack us tomorrow, they will not seek any benefits in our hands."

Yuji Kawabian showed a deep thoughtful look. He seemed to understand what Zhao Hongyu wanted to make such an arrangement.

I have to say that Yuuji Kawabian is the smartest person among these people.

Although he looks like a big fat man, he looks stupid.

However, he has an intelligent heart.

Many times, he can analyze many problems with some clues.

In fact, today he was also a little puzzled about Zhao Hongyu’s arrangements.

However, when he heard Zhao Hongyu say such words, he seemed to have thought of something.

Wow, if this highness is what I guess, then his ambition is really great.

It seems that a small siege army cannot satisfy his appetite.

Yuuji, Kawabian lowered his head and thought to himself.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know that with just a few words from his own, Yuji Kawabian seemed to have understood his thoughts.

After pausing for a moment, he continued to say to everyone: "But even if we defeat the crusade army, there will definitely be other people coming to attack us. After all, we are no longer in harmony with the shogunate now. They must kill us before ending this war."

Zhao Hongyu twisted his butt, making himself feel more comfortable.

"So, I don't want to defeat this crusade army at once. I want to hang them. And consume their troops little by little, let them constantly ask for help from the shogunate, and let the shogunate increase their troops." Zhao Hongyu grinned and said, "I want them to slowly consume the tactics of fighting the city to fight the city and fill the oil in the war."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongyu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Everyone must know that before the crusade army came, I had already sent out all my fleets." In the face of Zhao Hongyu's inquiry, everyone nodded repeatedly.

However, except for Yuji Kawabian, it seems that everyone doesn't understand why His Highness mentioned this matter all at once.

"The more fierce the battle we fight, the more reinforcements the shogunate will send, which will lead to a serious shortage of troops in other places. And my fleet can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Edo directly." Zhao Hongyu's face was full of fierce expressions, and his expression seemed a bit ferocious. "Think about it, I conquer my subordinates, and Edo was beaten down by me, so what would happen?"

Hmm!

At this moment, everyone was not calm.

They had never imagined that this young His Highness had such a big plan.

If what he said is true, this plan seems to be impossible.

If they can really conquer the shogunate, then their initiative will be great.

Perhaps, it is not impossible to sign the city alliance and control Jiuzhou in your own hands.

Hattori Ghost's pupils shrank, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Yuji Kawabian's expression was very calm, and he had already thought of this.

But those speculations that were just his own are now just confirmed.

However, Yuji Kawabian analyzed it and felt that this matter could still be operated.

Besides, this highness has already started to make this plan, and it is impossible to stop it.

"Your Highness, how many troops are there on the warships that attack the shogunate?"

Hattori Ghizo asked.

His idea is different from Yuuji Kawabata.

What Hattori Kyozo saw was the benefits to Miss Tokugawa Kayo after success.

Because this highness is a foreigner, after the plan is successful, Kyushu thinks he must need a confidant to manage it.

Moreover, as a foreigner, it is obviously unrealistic to manage Kyushu in Japan.

All, this requires supporting a force.

So, if this force can't be used, why can't Miss Tokugawa Kayo?

By then, it will be impossible to revive the Tokugawa family.

This is a chance.

Hattori Ghizo was quite excited.

However, compared to Hattori's excitement, Tokugawa Kayo looked indifferent.

It is obvious that the little girl hasn't considered that much at all.

She just felt that this young His Highness would have his plan.

As long as he doesn't arrange war randomly, that's fine.

As for other things, it's not her headache.

As a young and fresh girl who was tired of war in the 16th century, her wish was to live a pastoral life without competing with the world, and it would be better to raise a few cute local dogs or something.

Zhao Hongyu asked and looked at Hattori Ghost, Zhao Hongyu saw some of his meaning from his face, and knew what he was worried about.

There are not many warships under my command, so there are not many sailors on the ship.

Fifty-two warships headed to Edo, and they thought they had extremely limited combat power.

However, Zhao Hongyu was not very worried about this.

He smiled and said to Hattori Genzo, "The fleet I sent out can probably divide up about 6,000 marine troops. I think these troops are enough to conquer Edo."

"Your Highness, although you have two thousand reinforcements today, it is impossible to deal with the endless siege army with the strength we have now, right?"

Hattori Keizo said loudly again.

Of course, his question and reminder are also for the sake of Zhao Hongyu's good.

Zhao Hongyu is still clear about this point. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
