Chapter 209: Matsuura Okinobu's Peace Negotiations Fail



"Surround them! Shout!"

At the command of Naruto Matsushita, a million-strong army immediately surrounded Hizen Castle.

At this time, the people in Hizen Castle were in panic.

"Lord Matsuura Okinobu, Naruto Matsushita's army has surrounded us."

"I know. It's all Otomo Sorin's fault. If it weren't for him, how could Matsushita Meijin seize this opportunity? Notify the Hizen Daimyo and have them come to the rescue as soon as possible."

"Sir, we have no way to contact them now. They are still fighting with Otomo Sorin."

"Baga! Is there any way to make them withdraw?"

"Do you want to try to negotiate with them?"

"How do we talk?"

"As long as they retreat, they can set the conditions."

When he thought about the fact that there were only about 200,000 people in the city, Matsuura Okinobu gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay then! Go ahead and try it."

"yes."

Naruto Matsushita outside the city was thinking about how to break the deadlock when the messenger came in from outside the tent.

When the other party came in, he said without any nonsense:

"Naruto-sama, the head of the family asked me to speak with you."

Naruto Matsushita said calmly:

"Your family head? Matsuura Okinobu?"

At this time, the other party immediately said respectfully: "Yes, he wants you to withdraw from Hizen."

"Haha, why? Hizen is already firmly in my hands. You want me to retreat? Then beat me out."

Naruto Matsushita's attitude of keeping people at a distance made the envoy dare not speak out.

The other party could only smile and say:

"No, no, you are too powerful. We will not be your enemy. As long as you withdraw, my family head is willing to offer you 10,000 gold coins, a thousand beauties, and countless jewels."

"You're being very generous. It's really tempting. But as long as I capture Hizen, everything will be mine. Why should I even talk to you?"

The envoy couldn't keep giving in at this moment, but he didn't dare to say anything final either, so he just threatened:

"Sir Naruto, we still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hizen Castle. If you insist on attacking by force, you will only suffer heavy losses. In the end, who knows who will benefit. If you retreat now, we can immediately offer these things."

"Hahaha, you're right. But you don't have the strength. It's easy for us to take down Hizen."

Seeing Panasonic Naruto's determination, the messenger made up his mind and said:

"Naruto-sama, is there really no room for maneuver? If so, then we can only fight."

Naruto Matsushita just made a gesture of invitation, meaning that he could leave.

The envoy had no choice but to return empty-handed. Just as he was leaving the tent, Naruto Matsushita spoke, but he was not trying to keep him, but said:

"Tell Matsuura Okinobu that retreat is impossible. If he surrenders to me, I can take him in. As long as he is willing to surrender, I will give him a good treatment. As long as he wants to continue to be the lord of Hizen Castle, it is not impossible."

The messenger did not dare to agree to this, so he could only go back and convey it.

After the messenger left, Matsushita Naruto did not wait for the other party to come again to negotiate terms.

He knew that if he didn't come up with some tricks, they would definitely continue to waste time.

He came to Guan Hai and raised his hands to clasp his fists and said:

"Brother Guan, do you think we should teach them a lesson?"

Although Fengyun promised him the West Sea Road in private, after staying on Happy Island for a while, he knew deeply that Guan Hai was one of the top generals under his lord, and he dared not show any disrespect to him.

Guan Hai did not act arrogant towards him, nor did he give him a cold shoulder. After all, the other party was the leader of a million soldiers.

"Do you want me to lead the charge?"

Seeing Guan Hai being so understanding, Matsushita Naruto became even more attentive.

"Yes, yes, Brother Guan, you are really a master of calculation. You guessed my thoughts right away."

"Okay, but we must have suppressive firepower. If my Yellow Turban warriors suffer heavy losses, I'm afraid the lord will be angry."

Naruto Matsushita certainly understood the importance of the Yellow Turban Warrior to his lord.

This army cannot be replenished at will. Even if soldiers are added, it will take a long time to train them.

He nodded immediately and said:

"Don't worry, I'll have all the archers suppress the city walls. I'll make sure you can climb to the top safely and smoothly."

With Panasonic Naruto's assurance, Guan Hai didn't say anything more.

He really didn't mean to make things difficult for the other party. His Yellow Turban Warriors were A-level soldiers, and it was not easy to replenish their manpower.

Too many people died, and if he wanted to recruit enough people, he would suffer.

If the training is not completed before the next expedition, it will delay the lord's important affairs.

When Guan Hai gathered his Yellow Turban warriors to fight, Matsushita Naruto immediately ordered the archers to follow closely behind.

As the Yellow Turban warriors raised their shields to resist the arrows shot from the city, the archers below the city quickly began to fight back.

Naruto Matsushita was not very afraid of archers.

What he was most worried about was the presence of musketeers in the city, but for the time being, he had not found any signs of musketeers.

This is not surprising.

Naruto Matsushita knew the reason.

The 20,000 musketeers last time were all the muskets that Saikaido could produce.

However, Yingzhou did not know how to manufacture muskets, and these muskets were obviously made by foreigners.

These foreigners would bring their muskets through the port and then trade them for silver.

But he was a little puzzled as to why these foreign ships were not damaged when passing through the border.

Fengyun actually guessed the reason behind this matter.

They definitely did not transport by sea, but through a cross-border teleportation array.

Because every country has the same teleportation array as other countries.

However, these teleportation arrays are either buried or controlled by some NPC forces.

Normally, after the NPC has the ownership of the teleportation array, he would not dare to make it public easily.

Because once it is made public, it means that he has to be on guard against everyone at all times.

Just like Fengyun obtained a cross-border teleportation array, this means this is a huge opportunity.

An opportunity that could bring him endless wealth.

But it may also bring him the beginning of an endless abyss.

It can be said that this was a fight between archers from both sides.

But the other side has fewer people than their own, so they can only be defeated.

Naruto Matsushita saw that the archers on the city wall had been suppressed by his absolute numerical advantage, so he watched the Yellow Turban warriors climb the ladders with peace of mind.

Without anyone attacking them, the ten-meter-long city wall was too easy for them to deal with.

Just a few seconds later, someone climbed to the top of the city wall.

At this time, the archers under the city still did not stop attacking. They raised the shooting angle a little and continued shooting.
