Chapter five hundred and ninth cunning
Kawahara Castle is the base camp of Maori Motoji. Although Maori Motoji was also a famous daimyo in the Warring States Period, he was not very brave and was just good at making conspiracies. Therefore, when Ishimi Castle was besieged, he did not send out one soldiers and one soldiers, and would not personally go to the front line to command. He hurried all his troops in Kawahara County and acted as his protective umbrella.
In a person's life, in addition to strength, there are two things that are very important, that is luck and personality. There is a famous philosophical saying that people talk about in modern society - personality is fate, which means this. Maori Yuan is this person, who is vulgar by nature, fucked, has no knowledge, and is average in martial arts, but he can succeed. And no one in Kyushu is more successful than him.
In the Chinese terms, Maori Yuan is actually a despicable villain who likes to play tricks and is interested in being in trouble. Although he is already very old, his quality has not improved at all. He is not bad, and he is still a virtue until his death.
When Qi Bingzhong's team passed through Ishimi Castle after the burning fire, they massacred the surviving young and old, and captured local women, and buried them alive. In addition, the Ming army also captured many ordinary people along the way, pressing the city of Kawabara Castle where Maori Yuan was, and forced Maori Yuan to surrender. Because Yi Tusheng wanted speed, Qi Bingzhong had to come up with this series of bad strategies.
In Qi Bingzhong's heart, even if this move cannot force Maori Yuan to surrender, it can at least shock the soldiers under Maori Yuan, making them frightened and out of their minds. Back then, when the first decisive battle between King Helu of Wu and King Goujian of Yue, Goujian ordered the suicide squad that passed to commit suicide collectively in front of the people of Wu, which scared Wu army all their faces, their legs trembled, and they were defeated in one battle. Even King Helu lost his life, and he used this trick.
"Maori Yuan, listen to me. Today you have no other chance. You deceived the prince and tried to surrender. The prince was very angry. If you don't surrender obediently today, you will definitely die without a place to die. Not only will you die, but your whole family die, but the people in the city will all be buried with you!" Qi Bingzhong first shouted at the top of the city, and then Huang Ming translated it.
Maori Moto was standing at the top of the city at this moment. This man had sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, mung bean eyes, garlic nose, big head, thin nose, five short figure, and sparse hair. When he looked away, he looked like a large mouse, especially when he bared his teeth and smiled, he felt even more touching, no difference.
"This general, who are you? I am Maori Moto. Have you not received the letter I wrote to the prince? I really want to surrender to the prince. Do you have any misunderstandings, this general?" Maori Moto stood on the top of the city with his hands behind his back, hunched his waist, and said with a smile on his face.
"Tell you, I am Qi Bingzhong, the vanguard of the regent of the Ming Dynasty. Today I am hereby the order of the prince to attack you. Your trick has been discovered by my prince. You should not pretend to be there, and come out to surrender honestly, or you can save your life!" Qi Bingzhong pulled the reins hard, raised the front hooves of the war horse, and screamed wildly.
"General Qi Bingzhong, you really wrongly accuse me of this general. I sent Mr. Sanjiang to see the prince a few days ago. Since the prince had agreed to my surrender, why did he suddenly send troops to attack my Ishimi Castle? And now he is attacking Kawahara again? Is there a villain provoking the disagreement?" Maorimoto still denounced.
"Maori Yuan, don't pretend to be confused. Let me tell you that I have no time to talk nonsense to you. Now the cannon has been set up. If I count to ten, you still don't open the city gate. I will immediately let the cannon attack the city. At that time, all the soldiers and civilians in your city will be buried under the cannon fire."
"General Qi, I, Maori Yuan, really want to surrender to Prince Yi Tusheng. If the prince was instigated by a villain to deal with me, I would not die so worthless. I must wait for the prince to come to the city in person before explaining to him. Therefore, I cannot open the city gate to surrender now." Maori Yuan smiled indifferently and shook his head.
"The cunning guy is so cunning. He actually wants to delay time with these tricks of cheating children. He really treats me like a fool. Well, if you don't give you a little color, you don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes. People come and bring all the common people to me." After closing his eyes, Qi Bingzhong snorted heavily.
More than a thousand ordinary people were pulled and dragged by the Ming army to the bottom of the city. Qi Bingzhong fell to the ground, with his head facing the ground.
"Maori Yuan, these ordinary people are captured from your territory, they are all your people. They pay taxes for you and are your people. Logically, you should protect them, but now I want to kill them. If you want to justify them, open the city gate and surrender!" Qi Bingzhong said Mao Yuan a little bit like a tiny trump card. He frowned and looked forward with an inexplicable expression.
"Kill!" The voice jumped out from Qi Bingzhong's tight teeth.
"Crack!" More than fifty heads left the owner's body and fell on the land beside the moat. They were filled with blood and rushed out with a loud bang, with a fishy smell.
"How about Maori Yuan? I have a thousand Japanese people here. I will start killing them now. In about dozens of numbers, fifty heads will be cut off. It only takes three incense sticks, and all the heads here will fall off. If they were soldiers and died on the battlefield, they would die without regrets. But they are all ordinary people. Because of your sins, they will die. Don't you want to be the only one?!"
Maori Yuan stood there, with a look of watching the show, his lips twitched slightly, and he smiled and said, "General Qi, it's not that I don't want to save them. As the city lord, Maori Yuan should consider all the people. You only have a thousand people in your hands, but there are at least tens of thousands of ordinary people in the city behind me, and outside the city. I can't give up the lives of more than tens of thousands of people in order to save a thousand people. Are you right?!"
Seeing that Maori Yuan was so calm, Qi Bingzhong knew that this old thing was not a good person. He probably wouldn't care about the lives and deaths of these ordinary people. However, Qi Bingzhong also noticed that the Japanese civil servants and generals and soldiers who stood beside Maori Yuan had a little discolored face. That's good, it means that his method worked.
"Okay, Maori Yuan, you have to remember that all the people in front of you were killed by you. They will not let you go even if they become ghosts... Keep killing me..."
As Qi Bingzhong said, rows of heads fell one after another, and the rolling moat was everywhere, and some were blown directly into the river by the wind. When they arrived in the river, they were not sinking to the bottom, and they were floating on the water. Of course, the scene was very terrifying. The veterans were a little better, but the new recruits could be scared directly.
With a crackling sound, Qi Bingzhong laughed and said to the city, "General Maori, now more than half of the people have been killed, have you still not figured it out? I tell you that as long as the people have been killed, I have no choice but to shoot the city, no matter how strong your city is or how brave your army is, under the intimidation of the Emperor's father Regent, before the power of the Shenwu cannon, it will turn into ashes and disappear!"
"General Qi Bingzhong, I, Maori, said the same thing. The prince misunderstood me. One day, the prince will know my loyalty, so the prince will definitely forgive me. I will not open the city gate before the prince comes. If you want to fire a cannon, then come!" Maori Yuan put his arms in his sleeves and bowed to Qi Bingzhong under the city.
"Okay, since General Maori insists on this, then there is no good idea for me." Qi Bingzhong turned around and found that there was only the last row of people left.
When the last row of fifty heads fell on the ground, 80% of the Japanese soldiers on the city had changed their faces. Such cruel behavior, even veterans who fought for life were trembling with fear. After all, stabbing a person to death and cutting off a thousand heads alive is not a terrifying level.
Qi Bingzhong felt that the time was very ripe, so he chuckled, raised his arm, "Fire!" @ws
