Chapter 41: The Chilling Captive Army

Inspired by a group of impassioned 'orators', millions of captives began to revolt with the status quo and rioted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the midst of this war, hundreds of millions of captives were herded together like ducks and lived in various slave camps in Changchuan City, some of them transported grain and grass, some of them made siege equipment, and some of them were sacrificed as sacrifices.

It can be said that their living conditions are extremely poor, and they are hovering on the death line every day. Every day, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of people die, although it is only a week, but the anger of the captives has reached its limit, just waiting for the moment of eruption, and the speech of the 'orator' is the spark that ignites this great powder keg.

The division of the formation discharged a large number of soldiers to attack the city in front, and the number of people who remained here to guard the prisoners was less than 20,000, and they were scattered, and most importantly, they absolutely did not take into account that the group of 'lowly' captives in the slave camp dared to start a riot.

A bright light flashed in the sky, a low thunder was heard in the distance, and the rain finally began to fall, and in the violent rain, the soldiers of the Edo monarchy did not care to protect themselves, and took refuge in the comfort camps, living a life of drunken dreams and death.

"Kill!" A thrilling scream of slaughter spread throughout a prisoner camp.

In this captive camp, the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy walked out of the comfort station only to find that the entire Nagagawa Castle was now full of captives, and they were chasing and killing the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy everywhere, and due to the huge disparity in numbers, even if the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy could be a hundred, they could not change this one-sided massacre.

At the same time, the same situation occurred in the other prisoner camps in the city, and countless prisoners began to riot, and in the sudden battle, except for a few clever soldiers who fled at the first sign of riots, the other more than 20,000 soldiers of the Edo Monarchy were easily annihilated.

After dawn, the entire castle of Nagagawa completely changed its masters, and there were few captives of the Edo monarchy, and all the others were torn apart by angry slaves.

When I heard the news of the recapture of Nagagawa Castle, I was very excited, after all, it was a great victory, and I felt a sense of accomplishment that the plan had been drawn up by myself, but after learning that a small number of soldiers from the Edo Monarchy had fled, I knew that something was wrong.

The soldiers who escaped will definitely report to their commander, and the rest of the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy will inevitably counterattack Nagagawa Castle, although there are more than 300 million captives in Nagagawa Castle today, but I am still not optimistic, no matter how many sheep, although they can cause some damage to the wolves, but if they want to destroy the entire wolf pack, it is unrealistic, and it is good not to be killed.

Of course, if someone can twist the miscellaneous soldiers of Nagagawa Castle into a rope, then even if they can't defeat the army of the Edo Monarchy, they can still take a bite of meat, and after thinking about it, I decided to take a few clever soldiers to the vicinity of Nagagawa Castle to see the situation, anyway, if there is danger, I will be warned in advance, and it is a big deal to run at that time.

Two hours later, the soldiers of the Edo monarchy, more than ten miles long, appeared outside the castle of Nagagawa, and they let out an earth-shattering and frenzied shout: "Long live the king!" ”

For a time, the furious cries of hundreds of thousands of people pierced through the thick walls like a tsunami and entered the city, giving a stern announcement to the captives in Nagagawa Castle: The army of the Edo monarchy has arrived, and those who dare to resist will die! ”

Since the return of the Edo Monarchy's army, the entire Nagagawa Castle has begun to be quiet, hiding in a hidden place in Nagagawa Castle, I carefully observe the situation, trying to better understand the strength of the Edo Monarchy's army through this war.

Although the large army of the Edo Monarchy had already arrived at Nagagawa Castle, they did not immediately start fighting, but quietly waited for the troops to fight in other regions to complete the largest military gathering except for the battle of Ojeon Castle, after all, the more than 300 million captives in Nagagawa Castle still put a lot of pressure on the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy, so that they did not dare to slack off at all.

The assembled soldiers of the Edo Monarchy did not charge with all their troops, but took advantage of the strong defense of the Xuanwu Legion and began to advance towards Nagagawa Castle, with the aim of resisting the rain of arrows from the city.

Looking at this scene, I thought about it, the army of the Edo Monarchy has always attacked the city with momentum, attacking the city in front of it in one breath, as it is now, let the Xuanwu Legion, holding high the shield, carefully advancing in formation, it is the first time I have seen it, obviously, the commander of the Edo Monarchy is not a brave and unscrupulous person.

The bows and arrows in the sky, lined up neatly, shot at the slowly advancing Xuanwu Legion, the condescending advantage, coupled with the bow and arrows shot by the strong bow, even the heavy armored troops can shoot and kill, but in the face of the Xuanwu Legion, the effect is not so good, when they attack the city of Changchuan, the soldiers eliminated are less than a thousand.

Looking at the terrifying defense of the Xuanwu Legion, I felt that my head was big, and if I faced such a strong legion, I would not be able to think of any good ideas for a while.

"Xuanwu Legion, stop the attack and cover the White Tiger Legion to hit the city gate; Suzaku Legion, burning barricades; Blue Dragon Legion, in charge of supporting ......" A series of orders came from the large tent of the Chinese army in the Edo Monarchy and reached the ears of the commanders of the various legions.

The country is in the autumn of danger, and people should have the heart of death!

Kill one to get back to your capital, kill two to earn!

Live or die!

Death is as heavy as Mount Tai, and life is lighter than a feather!

……

Huge banners hung in the city of Changchuan, and the captives had never felt so deeply that their fate was so closely linked to the fate of this city, whether it was a noble nobleman, or a merchant running around the city, or a peasant living at the bottom of society, or something else, in the face of the fierce army of the Edo monarchy, they were grasshoppers on a rope, one glory and one loss.

"Sons of the kingdom, we have nowhere to retreat! Now that the enemy is outside the city, we can only take up arms and defend the last of our pure land! Whether it's a man or a woman, whether it's an old man or a child, as long as you can pick up a weapon, all stand up! If you don't resist to the death now, and wait for the enemy to enter the city, it will be too late! Are we going to live standing or die on our knees! On the city wall, an old man in his seventies shouted majestically.

The scene was silent, and at this moment, a thunderous sound resounded through Nagagawa Castle, "We're going to fight with the Edo devils!" ”

This is the roar of the captives who have been cornered, with the first sound, will the second sound be far away?

More and more captives began to raise their voices, as loud as they were.

There were too many people in the city who were willing to go to war, and there were few swords and other weapons, and many could only hold a piece of wood, some with bricks, some with iron pots, and many more, without any weapons.

When someone asked why they didn't have weapons, the old man viciously pointed at the soldiers of the Edo monarchy under the city, and responded: "Weapons, how can there be no weapons, you see, those demons under the city, what they hold in their hands are not our weapons?" ”

Looking at the brave and warlike Edo army under the castle, some people showed a look of fear on their faces, but many more people showed a resolute look on their faces, and by now, they had no way to retreat but to fight to the death.

"Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ......" With the continuous bombardment of the White Tiger Legion under the city, the Changchuan City Wall is crumbling.

"Retreat to the fortress, the streets, the houses!" The old man walked down the tower, and at the same time ordered the captives defending the city to withdraw from the city walls and defend the second and third lines of defense.

"Boom~", shortly after the captives withdrew from the city wall, the walls of Nagagawa Castle collapsed, and the troops of the Edo Monarchy swarmed into Nagagawa Castle.

At first, the troops of the Edo Monarchy wanted to ignore the crudely built fortresses and attack the center of the castle with the most dense crowds, but what made them miscalculate was that the captive army in the fortress frequently attacked the flanks of the Edo Monarchy, putting a lot of pressure on the Edo army, making it impossible for them to successfully attack the center of the castle.

In desperation, the formation division could only put aside the attack on the center of the city, and instead deal with the small minions in the fortress first, wanting to deal with them first, and then concentrate their forces to break through the defense line in the center of the city in one fell swoop.

However, will the captive army in the center of the castle sit idly by and watch the Edo Monarchy's army attack the fortress? The answer was no, and they frequently attacked the army of the Edo monarchy, galloping to the aid of their companions outside Nagawa Castle, and forming a horn with them.

As a result, without capturing a single fortress, the Edo Monarchy had to pay the price of hundreds of soldiers. However, the fortresses were numerous and scattered, and when the Edo army captured the forts, they sent a small number of soldiers to defend them, and then attacked the other fortresses. At this time, the captive army would send a large number of death squads to sneak attack, and if the Edo army was negligent, the fortress could be captured. There was even a fortress that was repeatedly fought by two armies seven times, until the entire fortress was heaped with the corpses of soldiers, and they found the next position as a target and continued to fight.

In this way, after two days of attack, all the fortresses on the outskirts were attacked by the army of the Edo Monarchy, and the number of casualties was counted, and the number of soldiers of the Edo Monarchy was 130,000, and the number of prisoners killed reached a staggering 65 million, a ratio of 500. Of course, after a brutal battle, the combat effectiveness of the captive army has been greatly improved, from the number of casualties in the original and Edo Monarchy, from one thousand to one to three hundred.

The soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal ones are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of dying! For this sentence, the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy can be said to have the deepest feelings: the people of the Muromachi Kingdom before were soft and allowed the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy to ravage; Some of the hard-line ones were also suppressed by the forces of the Edo monarchy; What made them feel depressed were some stunned fools, but a few people actually dared to attack the army, and even if they didn't pay attention for a while, there would be some soldiers who were successfully attacked by them and died; But now it seems that these are not a big deal, and those prisoners today are simply deadly, one pounces up, and without saying anything, they are immediately split in half, and two come up, and they can be cut into four sections, but what about three, four, or even ten or twenty or even hundreds? What's more, some people, even if they die, will hug you fiercely and restrain your movements, so that in the end, they will see their heads cut off by a kitchen knife that is not fast and rotten, and at this moment, the soldiers of the Edo monarchy are really a little frightened.
