That's what life looks like, like an immeasurable murky river that flows smoothly and slowly, year after year.

- Gorky (proletarian writer of the former Soviet Union, founder of socialist realist literature)

In less than half an hour, the 10,000 allied troops sent by Ando Daiki were completely defeated by Valker's headquarters; two of the three Uesugi generals who commanded the battle were killed on the spot and one was seriously wounded, and the 4,000 Mogami soldiers who were charging in front were even more killed and wounded.

The joint attack of the 4,000 Mogami Army Ashigaru and the 6,000 Uesugi Army Ashigaru was declared a failure at the cost of 4,000 Ashigaru killed and more than 3,000 Ashigaru wounded.

The death of three generals and the casualties of more than 7,000 people directly caused Uesugi Keitor, whose army under his command did not exceed 80,000, to directly lose one-tenth of its troops; more importantly, the field strength of the Yan and Huang Army besieging Hasedo Castle shocked Uesugi Keitora.

When he led the army to attack Gaoshui Temple Castle and Bian Shi Imperial Palace, although Uesugi Jinghu also felt that the combat power of the Yan and Huang Army should not be underestimated, but after all, there was an essential difference between defending the city and going out of the city, and he did not expect that the field combat power of the Yan and Huang Army was stronger than the defensive combat power.

Uesugi Keitora did not know that the Yanhuang clan army that was defending Gaoshuiji Castle and Bian Seok Imperial Palace at that time was not actually the same army as the Yanhuang clan army that surrounded him at Hasedo Castle.

Uesugi Jinghu, who stood on the city wall and had a full view of this battle, knew that if it weren't for the bows and arrows on his own city wall to intimidate the Yanhuang army outside the city, the tens of thousands of ashigaru who attacked on his side probably didn't even have a chance to break and escape, and they would be completely annihilated outside the city by the other party.

After the first exploratory attack was frustrated, Uesugi Jinghu, who did not want to continue to make senseless sacrifices, directly ordered Ando Daiki outside the city to collect his troops and return to the city; according to Uesugi Jinghu's estimate, with the number and combat strength of the Yan and Huang troops outside the east gate, it is impossible for his own side to defeat the enemy without three times the enemy's strength in battle, but can the coalition forces still be able to get three times the enemy's strength?

For the possibility of defeating the other party, he used 50,000 of his remaining 70,000 ashigaru to fight with less than 20,000 soldiers of the Yanhuang Army outside the east gate;

No matter what kind of preparations Uesugi Jinghu was making inside the city, the main generals of the Yan and Huang armies outside the city were still reinforcing their defensive lines step by step, and by the time night came, the number of horses and fences in Valk's headquarters alone had tripled compared to early morning!

A large number of horses and fences blocked the east gate of Hasedo, even if there was no defense from Valker's soldiers, it would take a lot of effort for the coalition forces in the city to clear these horses and fences, not to mention the defense of Valker's soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that for every day that the coalition forces under the command of Uesugi Jinghu defend the city, the defense line of the Yanhuang army outside the city will be a little stronger, and it may not be long before the allied forces under the command of Uesugi Jinghu in the city will be trapped in Hasedo Castle.

At sunset, looking out at the sunset in the distant sky, Uesugi Keitora turned a blind eye to the increasing number of horses and fences outside the city, and whether he really turned a blind eye or pretended to be a blind gesture was something that only Uesugi Keitora himself knew.

After nightfall, Valk and Kunohe Yasuma respectively handed over their troops to their generals for temporary command, and they themselves took their guards to Andong Ietada's military camp to further discuss the next battle.

For the tentative attack launched by the defenders in the castle during the day today, Valker, who easily defeated the enemy army, was not very concerned, but Kunohe Yasuma felt that Uesugi Keitora would definitely not give up on this, and the Uesugi and Mogami coalition forces in the castle would soon take the initiative to attack again.

Anton Ietada, who would not take anyone lightly, first listened to the defensive advice of Valk and Kunohe Yasuma before revealing his own ideas and plans, and because his own tools were limited, Anton Ietada suggested that the two of them should choose live wood when cutting down wood to build horses and fences.

The so-called living wood is a large tree that is more than 10 years old and grows luxuriantly, and the trunk of such a large tree contains a lot of water that is not easy to dry, and it is difficult to burn even if it encounters an open flame.

Ten-year-old trees are naturally more complicated to cut down than those of several years-old trees, and the horses and fences made of them are not as flexible and easy to use as the horses and fences made of small trunks, but in Anton Jiazhong's eyes, these are not as special a function as fire prevention.

The fire prevention function of living wood is not always there, and after a long time, the moisture in the live wood will evaporate in the air, and the live wood will become air-dried dead wood, and a raging fire will ignite when it encounters an open flame.

Although Anton Ietada took the matter of cutting down live timber to make horse repulsion and fencing as a suggestion to Valk and Kunohe Yasuma, the two did not dare to ignore the words of the commander, and after agreeing on everything, as soon as they returned to their barracks, they laid down the order.

Valk, who had won a great victory in the morning during the day and sent troops to cut down timber in the afternoon to catch up with a large number of horses and fences, only gave the order and did not let his soldiers continue to stay up all night to cut wood; in his opinion, his army had already made a lot of horses and fences, and then he only needed to add some every day in a step-by-step manner, and there was no need to build horses and fences day and night.

Unlike Valk, who was restless, Kunohe Yasumin, who did not dare to let his guard down, left three wings of barbarian warriors to stay in the barracks, and he himself personally led the soldiers of the Standing Army of Kuhu under his command to cut down live wood in the nearby woods overnight to build horses and fences.

Valker may be the only one who can sleep peacefully this night, but it is definitely not only Kudo Yasuma who has not closed his eyes after a busy night, and Uesugi Keitor, who forced Ando Daiki to rest and recuperate, led people to be busy in the barracks all night.

The next morning, Uesugi Keito, who had spent the night preparing some special tools, ordered again to let Commander Daiki Ando leave the city with 20,000 ashigaru and continue to launch an attack on the Yanhuang army outside the East Gate; this time, Uesugi Keihu would no longer sit idly by and watch his soldiers die!

When Ando Daiki commanded 20,000 ashigaru to leave the city one after another, Uesugi Keihu was not idle; more than half of the special weapons that were made overnight last night were distributed to Ando Daiki's bow and arrows, and the rest were being carried to the city wall under his personal supervision.

Sixteen strangely shaped instruments were carried to the city wall of the East Gate, and along with these instruments were hundreds of sealed black clay pots, even if the soldiers who carried them did not know what the instruments and clay pots were used for, the thick smell of sulfur in the air still made them instinctively afraid.
