Yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and the hot sunshine made everyone present sweat. However, the scene in front of them made everyone feel chilly.
In the general's camp of the Crane Kingdom, all the generals of the Crane Kingdom sat together and discussed the plan for the siege.
Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu sat in the deputy position of Honda Tadakatsu, and the others sat opposite him, sitting neatly like elementary school students at school.
"Masashige Hattori, how are you doing at the tunnel? Can you open it tonight..."
When asked, Hattori Masashige leaned forward slightly, "I'm sorry, sir, we can only get through to the edge of the castle. The land inside the castle is like rocks. We really can't move. If we want to continue moving forward, we will need a huge amount of water."
Explosives will do."
"Is that so..." Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu frowned and thought, and the camp was very quiet for a while.
"The tunnel can't be opened. If we are surrounded, I don't know how long the opponent can hold on. I have a headache..." Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu tapped his head with a white feather fan. A lot of thinking gave his head a headache.
"If that's the case, please trouble Lord Tadakatsu Honda and ask you to take action. Once you take action, you will definitely be able to capture Ningtian Castle." In the end, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu was helpless and could only ask Honda Tadakatsu.
Sheng asks for help.
"Aha..." Honda Tadakatsu ate each bite of meat. After hearing what the other party said, he put down the food in his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.
"No problem, I will definitely capture the opponent's general and take down Ningtian Fort."
Although Honda Tadakatsu had agreed, many generals below were furious, which was a shame for them.
They are also generals, generals who attack cities and plunder territories. But now, they are like children being protected by a nanny. They know nothing and are not allowed to do anything.
What is the difference between this and waste to them?
Someone immediately stood up and said, "Give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I will definitely capture Ningtian Fort, otherwise you will behead me."
Not only him, but more people soon stood up and strongly demanded to lead the charge, otherwise they would be killed.
"Give me a thousand elite soldiers, and I can capture Ningtian Fort."
Seeing that the crowd was furious and many generals began to plead, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu helplessly looked at Honda Tadakatsu.
The latter still laughed, "There will definitely be death in war, but only the brave will survive, and only the last person alive will become the winner."
"Go forward, face the cruel battlefield. The dead will stay on the battlefield, and only those who survive will have the right to survive."
"Okay..." Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu shook his head helplessly and stood up suddenly, "Everyone, since Lord Honda Tadakatsu has spoken, then you can move forward and attack with the whole army..."
"Roar..." All the generals stood up and vowed to capture this small Ningtian Fort.
In the blink of an eye, all the generals in the camp walked out angrily.
A large number of troops outside began to move, and countless ashigaru and samurai rushed out of the camp. Under the encouragement of the generals, they ran with all their strength into the distance.
"Take Ningtian Fort and kill everyone inside...charge..."
Huge armies began to rush towards Ningtian Fort from all directions, and anyone who stood in their way would be their victims.
There were still a lot of slaves left under the city wall, but not long after, a large number of Crane Country soldiers rushed in behind them, and they stabbed the spears and samurai swords in their hands into the backs of the slaves.
Caught off guard, more slaves fell one after another, but they were not unharmed.
Bullets kept flying from the city wall, almost like a heavy rain, falling on them.
Bloody flowers exploded one after another on their bodies.
On the city wall, a row of more powerful men stood up. They placed the two-meter-long Gatling on the crenellation. In an instant, a howling sound like a strong wind sounded.
Then came the barrage covering the sky and the roar of huge artillery, creating scenes of brutal scenes.
The metal storm tore the bodies of the Crane Country soldiers into pieces, and violent explosions blew countless Crane Country soldiers to pieces.
There were bloody limbs in the sky and on the ground, but even with such heavy injuries, the soldiers of the Crane Kingdom still advanced quickly like a wave.
"Move forward...no retreat, for the country of the crane..." A leader was infected by the cruel battlefield, and roared hysterically, not only because of his own fear, but also to boost his morale through the roar.
Bang...a cannonball landed at his feet, and the shock wave of the strong explosion tore him apart instantly.
Qin Liangyu leaned against the crenellations on the city wall, thinking twice, reading the book in his hand while listening to the screams outside, looking very leisurely.
Suddenly, she listened carefully, and the screams and shouts of death were getting closer and closer, "Oh, did you rush over so quickly?"
He turned slightly to face the ordering soldier in front of him, "Go and ask the border army's swordsmen to come up and let them practice their skills."
"Yes." The messenger rushed down the city wall. After a while, a group of mighty warriors wearing scale armor climbed up the city wall.
Each of them holds a three-meter-long sharp sword, half of which is the blade and half of the handle. You can imagine what a tragic scene it will be when they wield such a long sword.
Just waiting for those Crane Kingdom soldiers to climb up...
The soldiers of the Crane Kingdom quickly pushed aside the slaves below the city, and climbed up to the city wall by grabbing the ropes.
Bang bang bang...
The Ningtian Fort soldiers on the city wall immediately showed their heads and shot at the wall, killing most of the Crane Kingdom soldiers.
Then the soldiers of the Country of Crane also started to fight back. They came to the city wall and raised their bows and arrows and iron cannons to fight back. Many Ningtian Fort soldiers on the city wall were also hit by bullets.
Projectiles and arrows were fired from both sides. Some people were shot and fell down, and some fell from the top of the city.
The number of casualties increased sharply, and the battle entered its most brutal stage.
As time passed, the soldiers of the Crane Kingdom finally scaled the city wall relying on their numbers.
"Let them taste our power..."
The first person to climb the city wall was Hiraiwa Oikayoshi, another fierce general under Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He jumped into the city wall, the katana in his hand slashed across the city in the direction of the wind, his speed was more than twice as fast as usual.
The sharp sword blade scratched through more than one piece of red armor. Beside him, four Ningtian Fort soldiers were suddenly separated from their lower bodies.
As he opened the gap, soldiers jumped up one after another from outside the city wall.
As more soldiers appeared at the crenellations of the city walls, the Ningtian Fort soldiers on the city walls soon became unable to withstand them.
In the military camp of the Crane Kingdom, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu shook his white feather fan, turned his head with a relaxed expression and said: "Sir, it seems that Ningtian Fort will be captured by us soon, but the loss is really heavy, but
The number of people killed in this wave of assault must have exceeded 20,000."
Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu had a faint smile on his face, and seemed not to care at all about the huge number of casualties.
For him, as long as he can win, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it is worth it.
