Yu Leyou turned to look at the braid on the city wall. He didn't know who the other person was, and he didn't want to ask...
"I'm afraid this guy thinks he can't defeat us, so he wants to stage an "empty city strategy" to scare us away!" Yu Leyou was a little dumbfounded at first, and then said in a tone of voice: "Could it be that Zhuge Liang has no army and is just pretending to be like this?
"
Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was saying, and he responded: "Liang has been cautious all his life and has never taken any risks. If we open the city gates now, there will be an ambush. If our army advances, we will fall into his trap. How do you know?"
Retreat quickly."
"Hahahaha..." The two looked at each other and laughed for a while.
"I really didn't expect that after attacking a city and destroying a country, I could see such an interesting scene. In response to the Lord's words, the world is so big that there are no wonders!"
"What should I do? Do you want to play with him?" Yu Leyou was a little eager to give it a try.
Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said solemnly: "No, although we have the belief that we will win this battle, war is war and should not be treated as a trivial matter. If this continues, it will breed a feeling of underestimating the enemy, which will be detrimental to the long term.
.”
Yu Leyou's mouth twitched, but he did not dare to refute. Wang Xuan's requirements for military discipline were too strict. Even though he had been with Wang Xuan for many years, he did not dare to test it.
The plan has been decided, Cao Wenzhao said no more, suddenly pulled out the long bow from behind, latched a three-edged bone-piercing arrow like lightning, bent the bow, nocking the arrow, and fired the bow, all the movements were completed smoothly, sharp arrows.
It flew across the sky, emitting a piercing scream, and shot towards Otomo Tianxiang who was performing an awkward performance on the tower.
"Sword!" The long sword was unsheathed, and a sound of gold and iron clashed. The long sword fired by Cao Wenzhao was struck by the girl holding the samurai sword. The huge force made the girl couldn't help but take three steps back.
He didn't stop until he hit the female wall. His wrist was numb and he could hardly hold the katana.
Dayou Tianxiang also trembled with fright, and ran and hid under the female wall. It was not until he confirmed that he was safe that he breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that his whole body was weak, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he was walking between life and death.
Once, all the strength in the body was drained!
Under the city wall, Cao Wenzhao waved his hands regretfully. He did not expect that the maid actually thought she was a master of swordsmanship. It was really unexpected.
"The army attacks the city!"
No longer holding the idea of decapitation tactics, even if it is a normal siege, Cao Wenzhao is absolutely sure!
The army rushed out in a mighty manner. At this moment, there was still chaos above the Higo Castle. It took a long time before anyone thought of closing the city gate. If the army hadn't been a little far away, there would have been no way for the Japanese to close the gate.
Chance.
However, even so, it doesn't matter. After training hundreds of times in this kind of siege and defense battle, I have become familiar with the set of procedures, especially when facing a city wall of less than ten meters.
The shield hand opened the way, followed by the ladder, and arrows fell sparsely. Even if they were not blocked by the shield, the armor on the opposite side had no lethality. After the development of long-range weapons in the Japanese country, they are still using the most primitive ones.
Wood bow.
The front end of the all-iron ladder was hooked tightly to the female wall, and the sword and shield wielder behind him quickly ran up the ladder.
Long-term training has made them no longer climb using both hands and feet, but directly run. They are only ten meters high. The passing standard is to rush to the city wall within five seconds.
Before these peasant soldiers could react, a large number of Wang Xuan's soldiers jumped onto the city wall, waving their swords and shields to protect the ladder behind them, so that more brothers could come up.'
As time went by, more and more people went up to the city wall, and soon the city was crowded.
"Quick, quick, quick, the samurai team attacks!" Seeing more and more Ming troops on the city wall, the soldiers were obviously unable to resist. Dayou Tianxiang, who had recovered from his feelings, immediately ordered anxiously: "Three hundred people on each side, be sure to go
Drive those Ming troops down!"
"Hai!" Honda Kamei agreed, and immediately led his men to kill him.
These guys are worthy of being the real elite of the Japanese country. They immediately played a decisive role when they entered the battlefield on the first day of the year. Although Wang Xuan looked down on the so-called 'one-sword style' and 'cutting with one sword against the wind', in the actual application of battle formations, these warriors'
Being ruthless and decisive, and having the belief that one strike will kill you, can really boost your morale and kill your opponents quickly and in large numbers.
A loud roar, accompanied by a katana slashing the air, made a piercing explosion, and the sword flashed. Ming soldiers were often smashed to pieces with their swords, and a section of the city wall dozens of meters long was cleared out in a short time.
Seeing this scene, Cao Wenzhao was furious and once again mobilized a group of people to rush forward. This group of people had been prepared by the army to deal with these Japanese warriors or martial arts masters. They were divided into groups of six.
Three people hold a tall shield, one has ferocious iron spikes on the shield, two hold spears and are responsible for killing, and one holds a crossbow and is responsible for long-range strikes.
After climbing onto the city wall, facing these guys wielding samurai swords, the big shield hand directly put the shield on his shoulder, easily protecting his whole body, and just collision without hesitation. The city wall is only so wide, and the thick iron-clad shield is whatever you want.
Cutting, a one centimeter thick steel plate, if you can cut it open, you are considered good!
"Dong dong dong..." The sound like beating drums resounded densely through the city. The swords burst out and could not cut open the large shields. These warriors immediately withered. They were squeezed by several large shields and did not give any damage at all.
There is room to dodge and perform, and if you use crossbows and spears at the same time, you will either jump off the city wall or die!
Just over twenty minutes later, the 600 warriors who boarded the city walls were basically killed. It has to be said that these guys were so crazy and so aloof. Not even a single one of them jumped off the city walls to escape.
, seeing Cao Wenzhao keep thinking, "It's a pity, it's such a pity. It would be great if such a good soldier could be under his command. With these messy names, it's like a secret enemy!"
Honda Joebei, as the first samurai of the Higo Kingdom, barely reached the second-rate level in terms of strength, but in terms of combat power, although it was not very durable, when it exploded, it would not be lower than the second-rate peak!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even facing a one-centimetre-thick steel shield, the knife can pierce it with all its strength. Under the disbelieving eyes of the shield hand, it can be stabbed to death with one knife.
After the shield formation was broken, the spearmen and crossbowmen behind were even more vulnerable, and were killed in just a few breaths.
He killed more than twenty people in a row and pierced eight large shields. Honda Kamei's arms were numb, and his hands were shaking and he could no longer hold the handle of the knife. Facing the big swordsmen who were still charging towards him silently from all directions.
Shield Hand, a hint of helplessness flashed across Honda's face. He had thought about various ways to die, including dying in a duel, getting old and frail and being picked on by his descendants, or living in peace for thousands of years, but he didn't think about it.
Otherwise, I will die in the hands of a group of soldiers!
"Dang!" There was a crisp sound, and the sword had pierced the big shield, but he was restless and could no longer push the katana to kill the shield hand behind him. The katana was stuck on the big shield and could not be pulled out. Behind him, left and right,
Six large shields hit him.
At this moment, he gave up the struggle, loosened his sword and looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the blue sky, and he didn't know where the kingdom of heaven was...
"Puff" "Puff" "Puff" "Puff"
The ferocious iron thorns on the big shield pierced his body, and blood spurted out along the blood groove. A look of pain flashed across Honda's face, and his lips moved but did not make any sound.
Higo Kingdom is over, this is the last thought in his mind. As a samurai, he doesn't know so much. All his life, he can only fight. To reach this point is all a warrior can do. He doesn't
regret.
Cao Wenzhao looked down and just shook his head. He didn't know how regrettable it was. From a general's point of view, he really liked these Japanese warriors.
"Master Cao, these guys have nothing to regret." Yu Leyou said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency, I am from Shanxi. I don't know the crimes committed by these Japanese pirate warriors in the sea. It is really too numerous to describe. My ancestors spent most of their lives fighting against Japanese pirates.
, According to the records of the time, these Japanese people have no humanity at all, and their killing is completely without reason and meaning, just for fun, so even if all these beasts are exterminated, it is not an exaggeration!"
Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something and sighed heavily. Yu Leyou's words reminded him of the Tatars. Shanxi is also a borderland. It has faced threats from grassland people in all dynasties. The sufferings suffered are more severe than those along the southern coast.
There are countless more people in the area. Over the past two thousand years, countless Shanxi people have died at the hands of the grassland people. It is hard to exaggerate to say that there is a blood feud. There is no family or household where no one has died at the hands of the grassland people.
!
He, Cao Wenzhao, would never sympathize or pity a prairie man. In his eyes, only dead prairie people are good prairie people.
"In the words of the Lord, there is no right or wrong in the war between races. There is only life and death. Only when a nation dies will this confrontation end. The demise here can be cultural or physical. Just look at
Isn’t it suitable?”
"Yes, I seem to be able to see that the demise of the Japanese is not far away. At that time, we can also sacrifice the spirits of our ancestors in heaven." Yu Leyou said this with a bit of indescribable sadness.
Cao Wenzhao reached out and patted Yu Leyou's shoulder to express comfort, but his eyes were unfocused, and his mind had already gone to the borderland. A thought uncontrollably arose in his mind, when will the Lord march to the north?
Can we completely put down the grassland chaos?
He didn't know this either. For more than two thousand years, maybe longer, no one had ever been able to completely pacify the grassland peoples. Even though Wang Xuan had done many incredible things, he still had no confidence. After all, the grassland people were like weeds.
Likewise, even if one wave is burned out, it will grow back within a few years. As time goes by, it will become stronger and stronger, and it will only happen sooner or later.
