"Chapter 114: The City Changes Hands"
Youth is a common name, it is happy and beautiful, but it is also full of hard tempering.
- Gorky (proletarian writer of the former Soviet Union, founder of socialist realist literature)
The fierce attack of the 10,000 Mogami army was met with the fierce resistance of the 4,000 Uesugi army, and the battle between the two armies was fierce from the beginning.
The 2,000 Mogami soldiers led by Inoue Shuzawa launched an attack on the hundreds of Uesugi spears guarding the castle gates, regardless of casualties, and the fearless Mogami soldiers fought for their families with their blood and lives in the face of the enemy spears in front of them.
The soldiers of the Uesugi Army, who were also not afraid of death, their life and death were also directly determined by this battle, and once this gate was opened, allowing tens of thousands of Yan and Huang troops outside the city to pour into the city, all the soldiers of the Uesugi Army knew what would happen next.
The combat effectiveness of the two armies that executed the soldiers on the verge of life and death was not only beyond the imagination of the generals of the Mogami Army, but also beyond the imagination of the generals of the Uesugi Army; no matter how hard Inoue Shuzawa struck and rushed, he was unable to defeat the soldiers of the Uesugi Army guarding the city gate.
Five minutes after the battle broke out on the southern wall, Uesugi Keitora in military uniform had already walked out of the castle lord's mansion with his personal guards, and no matter how many places in the city were blazing, Uesugi Keitor, who had all his attention on the south gate and the military camp, did not pay attention to it at all.
In addition to the 12,000 soldiers on the four walls, the Uesugi army still had nearly 20,000 soldiers in the barracks in the city, and in two days, the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Uesugi army who were not seriously injured were restored to combat strength, and became the force that Uesugi Jinghu could use at this moment.
Although the battle broke out only on the southern wall, no one dared to guarantee that the Yan and Huang troops outside the city would not attack the other three walls, so instead of using the troops on the other three walls, Uesugi Keitora sent people to pacify the frightened soldiers.
For the 20,000 soldiers in the barracks, Uesugi Keiga ordered Ando Daiki to lead 10,000 soldiers to immediately attack the camp of the Mogami army, and he personally led the remaining soldiers to reinforce the defenders of the south gate;
All the generals and generals at the level of generals and subordinates in the 50,000 Mogami Army, as well as the general who commanded the Mogami Army, these people who had nothing to do with tonight's events became unjust souls who died in vain under the order of Uesugi Keitor.
The Yanhuang ninja army ninjas lurking in the Uesugi army did not have a chance to rescue these generals, but rescuing these generals was not a favorable thing for the Yanhuang family;
The wanton plundering along the way since the southward march made every soldier of the Uesugi army go crazy as he wanted, and it is precisely because the previous madness is still vividly remembered that the soldiers of the Uesugi army have a very clear understanding of the fate of their own defeat once they are defeated.
For the sake of their own lives, the soldiers of the Uesugi army could only put life and death aside and use the swords in their hands to fight for themselves a chance to survive.
Within fifteen minutes of the battle, the four thousand Uesugi soldiers on the southern wall were less than 2,000, and the attacking Mogami army paid the price of nearly 4,000 casualties.
Fifteen minutes of anxious waiting, if it weren't for the fact that it was really impractical to rush to the cloud ladder overnight, Anton Jiazhong would have the idea of immediately rushing to the cloud ladder to attack the city; it was not that he did not have the calmness that a general should have, but that the battle in the city must be solved by his Yan and Huang army.
If Mogami could not open the gates before the Uesugi reinforcements arrived, the city's breach of the city would have failed nine times out of ten, and even if the Uesugi army had suffered heavy casualties, Anto's hopes for greater success would have been dashed.
More than 20,000 soldiers of the Mogami Army, Shimura Mitsuyasu, the lord of Hasedo Castle, and the Rokuda family, one of the Eight Shields family, are much more important to the Yanhuang family than a mere Hasedo Castle;
Inoue Shuzawa, who was advancing towards the gate step by step, was now at the forefront with his own katana, and one after another Ashigaru of the Uesugi army was killed by him, and his face was covered in the blood of the enemy, and his eyes only saw the gate that was within reach.
Finally arriving near the south gate, Uesugi Jinghu personally took the lead in killing the unsuspecting Mogami army without the slightest hesitation; nearly 10,000 Uesugi troops pounced on the Mogami army like a tiger descending from the mountain, and in an instant, the Mogami army officers and men, who had suffered hundreds of casualties, could only turn around and meet the battle.
Knowing that only by opening the gate could he save his army, Inoue Shuzawa ignored the battle not far behind him, and he had already killed all the enemy troops defending the gate, and together with dozens of his own ashigaru, he pushed the gate with all his strength.
No matter how brave and fearless Uesugi Jinghu and the officers and men of the Uesugi Army under his command were, it was impossible to kill all the soldiers of the Mogami Army who were desperately resisting one or two thousand in just a few minutes, but Inoue Shuzawa only needed a few minutes at most to open the closed south gate!
Seeing that the city gate in front of him was opening little by little, Anton Jiazhong, who no longer waited, ordered Valk to lead the soldiers of the four coalition armies under his command to attack immediately! Valker, who rushed out first, ran towards the city gate with the Lucy warriors who were screaming behind him; the slow city gate that was gently pushed by dozens of soldiers was easily opened under the hard push of dozens of Lucy soldiers.
As soon as the gates opened, the fanatical Lucy warriors rushed down the gates like a tidal wave, and all those who stood in their way were pushed open by the soldiers in the most advanced military clothes, and those in the clothes of the Uesugi army were slashed to the ground by their swords.
Where is the opponent of the 17,800,000 Lucy warriors of the Uesugi army, which has no more than 10,000 soldiers in the city and under the city? After Uesugi Jinghu, who wanted to turn the tide, was cut off by the three swords of Valk, who was fighting fiercely, one of his arms was cut off, and the battle was destined to be an incomparably tragic massacre.
The Lucy warriors who rushed to kill in Xingtou did not shout any slogans of surrender and death, anyway, as long as the enemy army did not surrender, they would have enough reason to continue the killing, and it was not until the subsequent Kunohe Yasuma led the army into the city that the soldiers of the Uesugi Army who were slaughtered had a chance to surrender to the Kunohe Standing Army.
The Uesugi army, who fought with the determination to die, was frightened by the violent killing of the Lucy warriors after the real bloody battle with the Lucy warriors, and then they realized that the slaughter was more terrible than death; first the Uesugi army at the gate of the city, and then the Uesugi army under the command of Ando Daiki, less than an hour and a half after the Valker division entered the city, the Uesugi army, which had less than 15,000 soldiers, surrendered!
