Kotokuji Chengxian's poisonous plan did have an unexpected effect, but Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who defended the city, was not a good person. He knew whether Matsukura Castle would be attacked for a while, so he personally came to Suiweishan Castle to supervise the battle. In his organization The gold juice that had been buried for a long time in the lower city was unsealed, and the people were busy setting up large pots to boil the gold juice over fire. The boiling gold juice exuded an unconcealable stench.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki walked slowly to the cauldron of golden juice with a bamboo stick, blocked his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and frowned: "Uenosuke, please be careful, this is the city defense recorded in the "Martial Sutra Summary" You know why I want to build such a high stone city wall? Standing on the city wall and splashing an army with this thing will have a miraculous effect!"
Numata Yumitsu coughed twice and couldn't stand the stench anymore. He deliberately distanced himself a little bit and felt better before saying: "You can also insert the arrows and boil them, but this method is unnatural and is despised by the martial arts. Is it really okay for us to use it this way?”
"Allowing him to be unkind means not allowing me to be unjust?" Yamamoto Tokiyuki snorted coldly: "The insidious and vicious tactics of civilians attacking the city are not the work of samurai. There is a vicious monk with evil intentions in the army opposite. Since he dares If he doesn't have to use such vicious tactics, I don't mind teaching him a lesson! I also know that this method is harmful to Tianhe and cannot be abused, so I have transferred the Chinese army and Shiina army away, and I will leave it to you to execute it, just this time. It won’t happen again!”
Numata Yumitsu perked up and said solemnly, "Master, please rest assured!"
Seven or eight strong men covered their mouths and noses with cloths and carried cauldrons containing golden juice up the city wall. There were twenty cauldrons like this all over the city wall of Shuiweishan City, and they contained stinky golden juice and became a Holding the reminder talisman, Numata Yumitsu stood at the top of the city and looked at the crazy crowd of believers below with unbearable expressions. He hesitated for a long time and could not bear to give the order.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the top of the city. At one point, a believer stepped on his companion's body and climbed up the city wall. Fortunately, the Kira Army warriors with quick eyes and hands kicked him down again, and the ashigaru, who was slow to react, immediately rushed to the city wall. Come over here, pick up the spear and give it a jab, finally resolving this crisis.
"It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that these troubled times are so cruel. I'm sorry!" Yumitsu Numata waved his hand and shouted: "Spill the golden juice down! Aim at places with many people and don't waste it!"
The so-called golden juice is human feces and urine. It can be used as medicine to treat diseases and is also a weapon recorded in military books for defending the city. Boiling golden juice is an ancient version of biochemical weapons. Golden juice is different from boiling water or boiling oil. The former has poor heat preservation performance and the latter The cost is too high and the materials are difficult to collect. The gold juice has excellent thermal insulation properties when heated once. Not only if it is poured on the unarmored or lightly armored Yikui soldiers under the city, but even if the elite warriors in iron armor are poured on their heads and covered in face, the consequences will be the same. A word of death.
The Yikui army under the city had no idea that a catastrophe was about to happen. The boiling golden juice was poured on their bodies and immediately burned their flesh. The young Yikui believers were covered in stinking golden juice, and their bright red flesh was exposed and went crazy. He was wailing and rolling around. But the more he did this, the more wounds cracked all over his body. Gradually, the wailing was drowned by more screams. The figure also disappeared among the crazily surging Yikui army.
The stench of corpses, gold and juice overlapped together, blowing in the cool sea breeze of early autumn to the Xiangyikui camp on the south bank, making those domineering monks vomit so much that the eyes of the wise men of Guangde Temple were so smoked. He couldn't open his eyes, his nose was dripping with tears and snot, and he felt like he wanted to die. It took him a while to regain his composure. By this time, he had already vomited to the point where he no longer had the strength to speak.
Twenty pots of golden juice were poured down, and the stench that reached the sky completely extinguished the fanaticism of the Yikui believers. When they came back to their senses, they found themselves among a mountain of corpses. The huge mental stimulation drove many Yikui believers crazy, and the Yikui believers went crazy.
The morale of the soldiers collapsed, and tens of thousands of believers fled without their lives.
As a last resort, Guangde Temple Chengxian sent out the main force of the army to try to restore the morale of the defeat, but the mountain of corpses under the city was so unclear that no one could stand on it. After attacking for a few hours, his eyes were covered with smoke.
They retreated in confusion, and tried all kinds of methods for several days to no avail. The defenders in the city who wanted to clean up the corpses did not react violently, so they just rained down arrows to deal with it.
An arrow soaked in gold juice would rot in the wound within a few days of being hit, and then the injured would scratch furiously until the whole body festered and died. With this experience in mind, no one would dare to go to the city to collect the corpses, leaving them to rot and emit a stink.
There are flies flying all over the sky, making the siege even more elusive.
Fortunately, a severe storm swept through, and the heavy rain washed away the stench of the rotting corpses. The defenders in the city really couldn't stand the stench. The olfactory organs of the defenders in the city were damaged by the smoke. Yumitsu Numata
With an order, thousands of people wearing raincoats threw the bodies into the swollen Saoyuki River in the heavy rain. After many days of heavy rain, the smell was finally washed away.
When the clouds and rain stopped, and the autumn harvest was less than half a month away, Chengxian of Guangde Temple hurriedly sent out an army to continue attacking the city. This time, the army was quite behaved, and only let the main army surround a few city gates.
During the fierce attack, he was worried that he would not have enough energy, so he specially sent 500 iron artillery troops to Otemon as fire support.
The sound of pinging, pinging, banging iron cannons came one after another. Most of the troops in the army had never seen such a thing as iron cannons. When they heard the sound like spring thunder, they thought it was the God of Thunder from the sky cheering for them, and their morale was immediately boosted to attack.
The pace sped up a bit, and after several days of storming, the fortified city still stood. In half a month, more than 600 defenders were killed in the city. The so-called capture of the city in five or seven days became a complete joke.
Numata Yumitsu stood at the top of the city full of energy and looked very excited. The training in the past few months was a test of his studies over the past few years, and it was also a huge improvement in his own level. He was in charge of every detail in Shuiweishan City.
To be able to lead thousands of troops and thousands of townspeople to complete such a large-scale defense battle at a young age in his early twenties is such a valuable experience that not everyone can encounter.
"Master, I silently counted forty-five times before firing the second round of salvos. There is no doubt that they are equipped with old-style iron cannons. From a distance, I can see that the morale of the army is low and the formations are scattered. As long as there is a navy to cooperate and seize the opportunity to go out for a decisive battle,
I'm sure I'll catch them off guard!" Numata Yumitsu seemed particularly confident. In his eyes, this was nothing more than a trick.
To this, Yamamoto Tokiyuki did not comment, but changed the topic: "Uenosuke, you have done very well recently. But it is not perfect yet. I have an important task for you. Uozu City has always been under the influence of Echu.
The siege situation of Yikui Army is very urgent. It is up to you to lead the 4,000 Chinese troops to support the defenders of Yujin City. You will temporarily exercise military power on behalf of the city lord, but you must remember! You can only hold on and do not leave the city to seek a decisive battle. I understand.
?”
"With an army of four thousand people, we can only hold on and not seek a decisive battle? Why did Master put forward such harsh conditions?" Numata Yumitsu did not dare to refute, so he could only lead the troops to Uozu Castle with full of doubts.
When there was a heavy rain a few days ago, the news came that the 30,000 Yixiang Yijun Army was acting as a partial division to besiege Uojin Castle. Shiina Yasuyin found Tokiyuki Yamamoto, hoping that the Kira Army would assist the Shiina family in blocking the 30,000 Yixiang Yikui army. Shiina Yasuin himself did not have the guts to rescue the enemy who had an absolute superiority in numbers and had the long-standing position of the ancient enemy's divine protector.
He was also afraid that if he really brought all his family wealth to Uojin City, if the Kira navy came to destroy the bridge, he would only need to withdraw the firepower and material support from the sea, and let the 30,000 troops besiege Uojin City for up to a month. The city was about to fall into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, so he offered a very high price and was willing to reward the Kira family with land.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn't make it clear. He still has high expectations for Numata Yumitsu, but now he is not mature enough and lacks the experience to be independent. He can only fight with his own elite reserve team, which is not a qualified general. There are still many wars that the Kira family will fight in the not-too-distant future. If you want to become a commander-in-chief, you must be familiar with the methods of commanding the Chinese army. There is no shortcut to this.
Letting him only defend but not attack is also a kind of training and consideration. As long as his 4,000 Chinese soldiers cooperate well with the Kira navy, it is still possible to win one or two sneak attacks, but the enemy opposite is not Guangtokuji Temple. Chengxian is a big idiot. Shengxingji Yuncheng has more than 20 years of experience in leading troops. Shenbao Changzhi, a local snake, is very familiar with Yuezhong and is extremely difficult to deal with.
If Numata Yumitsu accidentally wins two games, he will inevitably feel lazy and contemptuous, and his judgment of attack will be more rash and subjective, which will definitely lead to big trouble. With the military strategy level of several generals, Numata will be able to figure it out quickly. You Guang's skill level is so good that with a little coordination, he can launch a backhand ambush and annihilate all the Uojin City defenders.
Let him defend the city because he is afraid that he will do something stupid when his head is hot. This is the same as practicing martial arts. If you want to learn to attack, you must first learn to defend. If you can't do well in defense, why talk about attack? Give him four thousand soldiers instead of The four thousand new troops are to hone his command skills in defending the city in adversity. Only when he can lead a good team to defend the city in the face of the unfamiliar Chinese army can he be considered successful. Every challenge is a test for him. If he can overcome this He has entered the house at the threshold.
The purpose of sending Numata Yumitsu was for training. He knew that his choice was gambling with his family and life. However, Yamamoto Tokiyuki still had great confidence in Numata Yumitsu. After years of contact and training, he knew that this apprentice was not a pedantic person like Ma Su. A splash of golden juice is such a test. There is no place for a pedant to stand in this troubled world. Facts have proved that his performance is still very good.
As for the stupid Shiina Yasuin who is just a young boy, his idea is very stupid and naive. He also thinks that the Kira army will defend the city for him for free. After that, he will randomly pick a piece of war-torn land and give it to the Kira family. It also recognized the guardianship of Shinkawa County obtained by Nagao Tarike in the first year of Daiei (1521), and Shiina was willing to serve as the "Shudai" to continue to control the actual control of Shinkawa County.
It has to be said that his ideals are very full, but the reality is so skinny. Yamamoto Tokiyuki dismissed his perfunctory words. The Kira family did not defend Yuezhong without any cost, investing so much money and food. It also requires money, how can it be solved by the Shiina family with just one move and the guardian generation.
It is not impossible to move the Kira family's reinforcements to assist Uozu City. The prerequisite is that a large area of territory near Uozu City must be exchanged. As long as Shiina Yasuin nods, the army will march to Uozu City the next day. This
The proposal was immediately rejected by Shiina Yasuyin. This gentleman had great ambitions and daydreamed about unifying Vietnam and China. It was strange that he was not in a hurry to cede his own land.
As soon as the heavy rain stopped, the army started to take action again. Uozu Castle pushed even harder. There were a thousand defenders in the city and there were no known generals guarding the city. The Kira navy was not willing to take risks for them. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, they couldn't help it.
Without hesitation, Shiina Yasuin was sure that Kira's army would probably have a way to persevere after Uozu Castle was broken.
He himself does not have this ability. Many of the more than 3,000 people who have his only family are from the country near Yujin City. Once Yujin City is attacked, they will lose the support of their land and soldiers. The peasants and soldiers will definitely not care what your countrymen think.
I want to run back to my hometown.
Because humans are social creatures and have a herd mentality. As long as the first deserter appears, there will soon be more and more deserters. It is almost like a snowball getting bigger and bigger. The morale that is originally good will collapse because of this. Without farmers and soldiers, there will be more and more deserters.
Without the support of the Chinese people, the Shiina family would be in danger.
In the end, Shiina Yasuin chose to relent and was willing to give half of the Shiina family's land as a reward to the Kira family. The premise was that the Kira family must promise to protect the Shiina family from the intrusion of Ichiki. He also hoped to go to Kasugayama Castle to visit the town hall after the war.
What he expressed was that he wanted to use half of the land in exchange for the qualification to hitch a ride with the Kira family. Yamamoto Tokiyuki accepted his proposal and invited Shiina Changshou to visit Kasugayama Castle at the appropriate time, bluffing Shiina Yasuin.
His face was pale, he said a few hasty words and then ran away in confusion.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how skilled Shiina Yasuyin is. The Shiina family has been able to barely withstand the attacks of the Jinbo family in the past few years because of the existence of Gending Poseidon in the family. Without Shiina Changchang's constant reminders, in less than five years,
Shiina Yasuyin can destroy half of the Shiina family's foundation, and within ten years it will be enough to remove the Shiina family from Ezhong.
Four thousand Japanese soldiers rushed to Uozu Castle on the return ship of the Kira Navy on the evening of the second day. In response to the Kira Army's blatant dispatch of troops for rescue, the usual reaction of the army was to stare and curse. They had no navy and no power.
To obstruct, the Kira family took advantage of the opportunity in the evening when the troops were ordered to withdraw their troops and respond to the meal. If you blocked them, you didn't block them. In the end, they were in a dilemma and could only watch them take a boat and rush to Uozu City downstream.
The main force of the Kira Navy Rangers did not dare to go deep into the Saoyuki River because the river was not wide and the Rangers did not have enough ships. The fleet was mainly composed of return ships transporting supplies and guarding a port in Uozu Castle.
It's more difficult. Asking them to block it is simply asking them to die.
A few days later, the morale of the Yikui side had recovered somewhat. It seemed that their monks had instilled many things into them to encourage them to sacrifice themselves bravely. In short, the Yikui army of less than 70,000 men once again plucked up the courage to attack in a large scale. They learned their lesson and did not dare to use it.
After the tactic of attacking the city, the wise men always ordered the troops not to touch the city walls. Now they didn't even need the gold juice.
Their main attack direction was still on a few city gates. They used their manpower advantage to cut down a few large trees to make battering rams. Thousands of believers braved the rain of arrows and hammered the gates with all their strength. The heavy hammer knocks made the city tremble.
The defenders at the head could not do anything about it and could not pour gold juice on the arrows and oars. Yamamoto saw that the situation was not good and simply gave up the attempt. He only soaked the arrows in a small amount of gold juice and continued to use them as biological and chemical weapons, and removed all the rest.
It was still difficult to deal with the calm Xiang Yijun. Fighting around the city gate was a dead end. No matter how strong the gate was, there would always be a moment when it was breached. When the shaky Otemon survived the fifth day, Yamamoto Tokiyuki
Knowing that he must be prepared for a tough battle, he actively mobilized the warriors to boost morale, and arranged for the defenders in the city to have a good meal and a good rest.
At dawn the next day, the Ichiki Army launched a full-scale attack. The Otemon gate was finally smashed by a siege hammer before noon. The Ichiki Army swarmed into the city like hungry wolves. Kira's army fought and retreated.
Sannomaru held on, and a brutal siege was inevitable.
Three thousand Kira troops and two thousand Shiina troops in the city defended their positions, facing violent storms again and again. The iron artillery team, which had always been in control of the army, showed its might and took advantage of the fact that the defenders did not have iron cannons. They hid behind and kept firing.
Cold shots, if it weren't for the biological and chemical weapons in hand to damage their morale, the defenders in the city would not know how to deal with the crazy Yiyi Kui army.
The morale of both sides is not comparable. The first army has the initiative in terms of numbers, and the defenders have an absolute advantage in terms of equipment and training. It is mainly the geographical advantage that gives Yamamoto Tokiyuki the confidence to continue the stalemate. There are many tiger's mouths on the roundabout slopes.
When the horse comes out, Mikazuki Hori is like a huge maze, and the towering walls and arrows and oars become the main points of fire for harvesting life.
As always, if the army has no money, it will have to pay a huge price for further advancement. Even if it does not kill a defender, it will have to pay several times or even ten times the casualties. What is more important is that several cities and villages support each other to protect the defenders to the maximum extent. During the day
After finally breaking through the Otemon gate, after a night of repairs, it was blocked by debris the next day. If you want to attack, you have to remove the blocked debris and then continue the attack. It takes time and effort to go back and forth, which also brings trouble to the defenders.
benefit.
During the day, the defenders were injured, and at night, after Yiyikui retreated, he withdrew to Matsukura Castle to recuperate, filling in for the defenders in the rear and continuing to defend the city. This back and forth made Yiyikui miserable. Guangtokuji Temple Chengxian also tried to send out a group of soldiers.
A large army stayed in the outer city to at least preserve the gains made during the day. As soon as the sun went down and the main force retreated to Xiguang Temple, the defenders from other cities came from outside the city and attacked from inside and outside to eat up this team.
Thousands of elites were lost in vain without achieving any results. Chengxian of Guangtoku Temple seemed to realize that the situation was far more serious than he imagined. Seeing that the autumn harvest was imminent and he had not even taken down a single city, he began to get angry and immediately ordered all the troops.
The First Army must seize Shuiwei Mountain City at all costs within three days.
They have always been ruthless to capture Shuiwei Mountain Castle. They even gave up the attack on several other castles. They just want to capture Shuiwei Mountain Castle and annihilate all the defenders. According to the theory of Guangde Temple Chengxian, as long as the defenders of Shuiwei Mountain Castle are annihilated, several other castles will be destroyed.
The small town is nothing to be afraid of, and Matsukura Castle without protection can be captured in an instant.
I have to say that his view is correct. Shuiwei Mountain City gathers 60% of the main force of the defenders. When the 60,000-strong army focuses on attacking Shuiwei Mountain City, and the big hand gate of this mountain city has long been broken, defending the city becomes an extremely arduous task.
Task.
The army always attacks in a hurry. All the Echubo officials went into battle, and under the cover of the ashigaru holding rifles, they attacked Sannomaru. Sannomaru was still a stone wall with an earthen wall outside and built-in arrows and sculls, and several tiger's mouths.
It is easily blocked by the complex structure of Mikazuki Hori. To cross Mikazuki Hori requires not only filling but also excavation. This workload is almost impossible for the time-sufficient Kuijun.
The main force of the defenders was stationed in several tiger's mouths, creating an insurmountable gap. The long and narrow trail was only for two people to pass side by side. It was surrounded by towering arrows and oars that looked like sharp swords. The army always tried to send out several
The Ashigaru team rushed in and did not last for more than a quarter of an hour before the entire army was wiped out. They wisely gave up their plan to continue to storm the tiger's mouth and instead forcibly filled up Horikiri and climbed over the wall to break into Sannomaru.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki stood on the terrace of the castle tower and looked sideways at the castle battle below the castle. The sound of iron cannons that sounded from time to time made him frown tightly. Although the old iron cannons had problems of one kind or another, in windless and dry weather,
There is no problem in shooting unarmored enemy troops within twenty meters. The large number of casualties of the defenders in the city basically come from the volleys of iron cannons. It only takes twenty iron cannons to focus their fire together, which is enough to kill the enemies in the arrows and oars.
The bow and arrows cause damage to the ashigaru, and if this continues for more than ten rounds, it is basically impossible to stand on the arrows and sculls.
The defenders' response was very interesting. They simply put the bamboo bundles on the arrow sculls as a defensive grab. There were two or three narrow gaps between the six or seven thick bamboo bundles only for shooting. This response made the old iron
The cannon was completely useless. For the iron cannon ashigaru, the hit rate was as unpredictable as the floating clouds in the sky. Occasionally, by chance, the bow and arrow hit the ashigaru in the gap, and it was like winning a jackpot, once and for all.
The earth-filling team worked very quickly. It took only one day to fill in a passage over the stone wall after sacrificing hundreds of lives. The few samurai who had always been brave and broke into Sannomaru were immediately attacked by a large group of archers and ashigaru.
Fire was shot into a human-shaped hedgehog before he could even run a few steps.
More and more Ashigaru climbed over the city wall one after another. The defenders in the city once again used new tactics. They used clay pots to throw oil that they had prepared for a long time at the Ichiku troops who broke into Sannomaru. The broken oil cans splashed all over their bodies.
It was oil. The bows and arrows were replaced by rockets that had been prepared for a long time and they fired at the oil. Clusters of flames were ignited out of thin air. The people on fire struggled and rolled, tearing at the armor on their bodies in an attempt to free themselves. Soon they turned into
A puddle of rotten meat with no distinguishable features.
In three days, the Yiyiji Army experienced repeated failures and finally took full control of Sannomaru. However, all the troops, food and weapons in Sannomaru were transferred to Ninomaru. The defenders calmly withdrew after paying hundreds of lives.
Ninomaru continues to hold on, and the next thing they will meet is the earthen hill outside Ninomaru's stone fence with a built-in arrow scull.
Neither the earth-filling method nor the concentration of iron cannons brought victory to the Ichikui army. The autumn harvest was approaching. Not only did the Chinese strongly demand that they stop the unnecessary offensive, but there were also complaints within the Kaga Ichikui army. Originally, it was said that
Five, seven days to break the city, then it took half a month, then one month, and finally it was said that it must be broken before the autumn harvest, but now the autumn harvest is about to come and nothing has been harvested, even Mao and I have gone in for 10,000
With many lives lost, Chengxian of Guangde Temple is under tremendous pressure.
After a fierce dispute that lasted all night, dozens of Bokandan unilaterally announced their retreat early the next morning. In one day, the 60,000-strong army left only the remaining 20,000 ryo from Kaga Province.
Thousands of people, the Yuezhongfang official who flattered the loudest a month ago is also the most determined to leave. Since you can't bring benefits to them, you should be abandoned, no matter who you are.
It's not that the Kaga Ichikui army didn't want to leave, it was because they followed the order of General Chaoshouji Miteru and came to help. If they followed the retreat at this time, they would have no way to deliver. The fact that they didn't leave doesn't mean they still have the intention to continue fighting and die.
The officials of He Yikui's army united to persuade Chengxian of Guangde Temple to stop his attack in time. If he couldn't break it this time, he would do the same thing next time.
What will happen if the Chengxian of Guangde Temple is not convinced? His arm cannot twist his thigh, and he only has a hundred or so monks and soldiers in his hands. Are they his cronies, so he should stay in Xiguang Temple to act arrogantly. It is the officials who are really fighting and dying. In the end, they deserve to be hated.
He glared at Shuiwei Mountain City with hatred and led his troops to retreat in disgrace.
At this time, Suiweishan Castle seemed to have experienced a catastrophe. Most of the houses were destroyed and torn to pieces, Sannomaru's stone wall was smashed with several deep gaps, the soil wall was filled into several mounds, and the bodies of the war dead were
Abandoned everywhere, many corpses were covered with flies, and the whole street was filled with an overwhelming stench.
The defenders in the city died in the battle at 2,800 people, and almost all of the remaining Ashigaru were wounded. Half of the soldiers who died in the battle were Shiina Army and Kira New Army. The Kira New Army died so many because they were in the first place.
The front line bore the greatest casualties. Two out of every three Ashigaru killed by iron cannons were members of the Kira New Army. The more they defended, the more they died.
The reason why the Shiina Army suffered more casualties was that they were not familiar with the Kira family's military orders, and there was no response to the signal to retreat, or they moved slowly when they started to retreat, causing unnecessary losses. This lack of ordering caused the Shiina Army to be in a hurry in the early stage.
The losses increased a lot.
At the same time, Uozu Castle's defensive battle also successfully persisted to the final victory. Not long after arriving at Uozu Castle, Numata Yumitsu understood the special meaning of those two orders. The Katsukoji Temple Yun Cheng, the chief minister of the gods is not a simple person.
The rhythm of the siege was just right, and he sometimes used the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. He was so exhausted every day that he couldn't even think about sneak attacks out of the city.
Fortunately, the 4,000 Chinese soldiers he brought had a deep hatred for Yi Yi, and the overall morale was maintained well. In addition, the original defenders in the city and the two cities of Kyrgyzstan were a deterrent to the Bay and the Saoyuki River. This difficult cage could be overcome.
The city battle persisted until the final victory.
After learning that Guangde Temple Chengxian led the army to retreat, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, who was holding his breath and insisted on seizing the city first, also breathed a sigh of relief. Thirty thousand troops surrounded a flat city and attacked for a month, losing three people.
It's a bit ugly that more than a thousand people were not captured in the end, but it's still much better than the big idiot Cheng Xian of Guangde Temple. He killed more than 16,000 people, and even if more than half of them were ordinary believers, he couldn't hide his death.
The straw bag nature of.
The victory in the two cage battles did not allow them to be careless. Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who returned to Matsukura Castle, strictly ordered the army not to go out to collect grain, let alone attack at will. The army had always been allowed to go and collect grain west of the Saoyuki River.
Harvest, don't risk your life to harvest that little bit of food.
Most of the land in central Vietnam was abandoned for several months because of this war. The owners of the fields either fled to Songcang City or were robbed without even their underpants. In the end, they were forced to choose to join the army or continue to flee, leaving unattended farmland.
How much food can be produced is still a question, and it would not be wise to take risks to grab that little food.
Fortunately, there is still some food to collect on the front line of Yujin City. The unwilling part has always been Kuifang Guan, who took his own soldiers and crossed the border and invaded the vicinity of Yujin City in an attempt to seize food. However, the local Chinese took advantage of the geographical advantage and ambushed them several times.
They suffered a lot of losses, wanted to take revenge but did not have the confidence to face the obstruction of high walls and deep fortresses. Without the great monks of Xiangzong to take charge of collecting grain, they did not dare to act haphazardly, so they yelled at Uojin City and retreated in a hurry.
