Chapter 42: The Bloody War

The summer sun is very hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Japanese army and the Moon Army have already met with the captive army, and looking at the situation, the Japanese army and the Moon Army have an absolute advantage, and the troops of the Edo Monarchy who participated in the war are all in high spirits and emotions.

In a quarter of an hour, the captives collapsed and retreated into the alleys of the city; However, due to the complicated terrain, the soldiers of the Edo monarchy could not smoothly put out a complete military formation, so they could only break up into pieces and attack the city separately.

"Kill, the soldiers of the monarchy, the untouchables have been defeated, it is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the country, if you want to make immortal feats with me, join me in the city and take the city lord's mansion!" Seeing the rout of the captive army, Susa Sakihara was overjoyed, and took the lead and entered the city, and behind him, 50,000 soldiers and horses, rolling and following, like gold and silver waves, swept into the city.

"The Japanese army has entered the city, and we can't lag behind, this merit of seizing the city, I read the family every month, and it is bound to win!" Tsukiyomi saw Susa Sakihara rush into the city, impatiently got on the war horse, waved his hand, beckoned the soldiers below, and shouted, "Erlang of the Moon Army, follow me, Amaterasu will bless us, this battle, we will win!" ”

"Kill!" Seeing that the Japanese army rushed into the city before them, the soldiers of the Moon Army also hurriedly spread the army away and launched a fierce attack.

In the face of the crowds of people like the sea, the iron armor is sonorous, the horses are neighing, the footsteps are heavy, and the captives are surging with irrepressible cold, can they really defeat such a terrifying army?

"Archery!" "Stone-throwing!" "Fuel!" ......

When the army of the Edo monarchy poured into the line of defense no more than 100 meters from the captive army from the streets, the generals of the captive army ordered a counterattack.

As a result, an endless rain of arrows fell like showers; Hundreds of pounds of throwing stones, like sparrows flying into the air, magnified rapidly in the field of vision of the soldiers of the Edo monarchy; Hot, slippery fuel falling from the sky.

For a time, the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy lost thousands of people, and it can be said that the losses were heavy, and the ranks were slightly stagnant, but under the strong orders of Susakihara and Tsukiyomi Zun, the remaining soldiers unwaveringly stepped on the bloody corpses of the martyrs in front of them.

On the tall building, the old man, his face was gloomy as water, and ordered: "Give up the fourth line of defense, conduct street battles, and attack freely!" ”

Although the strength of the Edo monarchy's team was far superior to that of the captive army, it really couldn't withstand the large number of opponents, and if they couldn't fight one-on-one, they would fight ten against one, and if they couldn't do it, they would fight one by one hundred people, and if they couldn't beat one by a thousand, they would still be beaten by a thousand people.

Due to the lack of the bonus of the battle formation, the strength of the Edo monarchy's army was weakened dozens of times compared to the beginning, and it was no longer the opponent of the captive army, but without a military order, they did not dare to take a step back.

After a fierce battle, the Japanese army and the Yue army suffered heavy losses, and the original 100,000 troops are now less than 30,000.

Faced with this scene, Susa Sazakaha and Tsukiyomi were very heartbroken, and if they continued to fight, they could only be wiped out, but they could not attack the castle lord's mansion, and they had to order their soldiers to retreat.

The soldiers of the Japanese army and the Moon Army have long been exhausted, and they don't want to fight anymore, but they don't dare to disobey the military order, so they can only resist hard, and now they hear the order to withdraw the army, and they happily retreat towards the outside of the city.

When I saw this scene, my eyes lit up, and it seemed that as long as the army of the Edo monarchy did not form a battle formation, Yayoi's army would not be able to fight against it. In this way, the woods, the mountains, and the alleys of the city are the best areas to fight them.

"Report to your lordship, it is difficult for the Japanese army and the Yue army to conquer Changchuan City, and now they are retreating!" The herald hurriedly announced.

"Gaga, it's really a waste of my expectations, as the elite of the pro-guard army, it is really a shame for the monarchy to be unable to capture a group of untouchables, okay, prepare to stand up and go for reinforcements!" The formation master looked annoyed, but in fact complained happily.

With the withdrawal of the Japanese army and the Moon army, the army of the Edo monarchy formed a complete formation - the Liangyi and the Four Elephants Array, and the entire army was transformed into the Sun Golden Crow, and the Taiyin Youying, the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu Dynasty were completely crushed towards Changchuan City.

In this terrible formation, the buildings in the city were as fragile as papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and then shattered, not to mention the flesh and blood of the captives.

The power of the great array is terrifying.

Of course, the power of the Great Array was terrifying, but the army of the Edo Monarchy could not be maintained forever. After a quarter of an hour, the two instruments and four elephants disintegrated, and the soldiers of the Edo monarchy withdrew from the city to recuperate in peace.

Although he saw that the army of the Edo monarchy was extremely weak, the captive army in the city did not have any courage to dare to go out of the city to fight. When the army of the Edo monarchy recovered, a new wave of demolition began to surge.

In this way, four times in a row, the army of the Edo monarchy was about to storm the castle lord's palace in the center of the city. Faced with this scene, I felt very surprised, from the previous battle, it can be seen that the old man who commanded the captive army to fight is very good at leading the troops to fight, he can't sit still and wait for death, how can he watch the army of the Edo monarchy advance step by step, cautiously advance without counterattacking, just send people to shoot arrows and throw stones? If this continues, the captive army will inevitably be boiled in warm water by the army of the Edo monarchy.

"Your Excellency, I think the current attack is too smooth, the other side has hundreds of millions of people, there is no reason for us to conquer Changchuan City in a few hours!" Qinglong Xingjun said with a solemn face.

"Che, are you suspicious of the strength of the monarch's army? In front of such a powerful battle formation, they can hold up for a few hours, which is enough to surprise us! Susa Sakihara said viciously, in this war, his team suffered heavy losses, and if he couldn't win a big enough victory, his future would almost be ruined.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the previous battle, our army, under their attack, lost nearly 200,000! We must not underestimate them! Qinglong Xingjun said anxiously.

"What are you afraid of, aren't they just taking advantage of the large number of people and using some despicable means to sneak attack us, so they will cause us such a big loss? Now that we are moving forward step by step and carefully, what can they do? Could it be that they still dare to resist us? "Tsukiyomi Mizun agrees with Susa Sazakahara's point of view.

At this moment, a scout came to report: "Report to the commander, the two generals, the commanders, the group of prisoners, are retreating towards the north of the city, and at the same time set up a wooden checkpoint on the road, trying to block the pace of our army's march so that they can escape smoothly." ”

"Running away?" Hearing the scout's report, everyone present couldn't help laughing, no wonder they didn't resist, it turned out to be the idea of escaping, it was really stupid, under the military formation of the monarchy, a group of prisoners, even if there were a bunch of obstacles, in front of the monarch's army, that could not stop the monarch's army, easily catch up with the fleeing captive army, and then behead them.

"Quack, those stupid untouchables, if they occupy a favorable terrain and fight with us, it may cause great losses to our army, but this group of fools, if they want to escape, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead, even if they walk on one leg, we are faster than them!" The formation master said with disdain.

"Haha, that's what Your Excellency the Formation Master said!" The generals echoed and smiled, "If they relied on the advantage of geography and numbers, we wouldn't dare to fight with them, and now they actually escaped, it wasn't the old birthday star eating arsenic - looking for death!" ”

Although the army of the Edo Monarchy was very tired from the demolition and relocation along the way, the dawn of victory in sight made their spirits high, and the army began to quickly pursue in the direction of the captive army's escape, and pursued at full speed.

In the building above the alley, the archers of the captive army hid on the roof, constantly designing against the attacking Edo monarchy army, and from time to time the soldiers of the Edo monarchy fell to the ground with arrows, but the Edo monarchy's army only divided a small number of people to clean up the captive soldiers on the roof, and the others chased and beat the fleeing captive army.

One after another, the alleys were taken by the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy, but the alleys of Nagagawa Castle were densely packed, one after another, and every time the Edo Monarchy troops took down a lane, new lanes appeared in front of them, as if they were endless, which made people feel quite a headache.

Faced with this situation, the formation division had no other choice but to deploy troops and send generals, urging people to pursue in the direction of the captive army's escape.

On a clearing surrounded on all sides by towering walls of wood, thatch, and other flammable materials, the army of the Edo monarchy finally caught up with the main force of the fleeing captive army, and the two armies began to fight head-on.

Among the captives, there were not many people in the prime of life, as young as three or four years old, as large as gray-haired old people, as long as they had a good breath, all of them took up the weapons in their hands, some were iron, some were wood, and some were bricks, although they had not experienced much battle, and their combat effectiveness was limited, but their high fighting spirit was not inferior to that of the Edo monarchy.

There were a lot of them, and the army of the Edo monarchy was also a big headache for them, and when the soldiers of the Edo monarchy stabbed their swords into the corpse of a captive soldier, and before they could draw their swords, someone pounced on them, hugged him and made him unable to move, and then someone struck him on the head with a wooden stick and a brick, which was completely a posture of killing you with human life.

In this battle, either life or death, the captive army showed the courage not to fear death and the spirit of self-sacrifice, one after another, for the sake of victory, heroic sacrifice, even if the combat effectiveness is weak, hundreds of thousands of people can fight to die (after all, most of them are old people and children, and the combat effectiveness is even worse), they are not afraid.

For a while, the battlefield was full of corpses, full of corpses, and blood soaked the entire land, of course, there was a strange smell mixed with it, but the people who were fighting fiercely didn't care about it.
