Takeda Nobuyoshi thought that even if his strength was not as good as the current Murakami, he would still be able to resist the opponent's attack with the advantage of the city wall.

However, when the battle began, Takeda found himself misjudged.

The problem lies in the siege equipment that Murakami Ming got from the city, Takeda Nobuyoshi had never seen it before, but he could see that it was very powerful.

In peacetime, during siege warfare, it is common to directly put a wooden ladder on the city wall, and then risk death to climb up.

Not only does it cost a lot of money, but the ladder is also easy to be pushed out and wasted effort.

And Takeda Nobuyoshi found that the siege equipment used by Murakami was difficult to push as long as it was built on the city wall.

"With fire, burn it!" Nobuyoshi Takeda roared.

The soldiers on the city walls lit fires on the ladder, but, to their surprise, except for one that was destroyed by the detractor, the others only burned on the surface for a while before the fire was extinguished.

Murakami, who was standing in the distance, was still a little worried when he saw the other party lighting a fire, but after a while, he began to laugh.

Sakura Murakami looked at Ming Murakami, who was laughing, and asked, "Father, what are you laughing at?" ”

Murakami Ming did not answer Murakami Sakura's words, but asked Chen Zheng: "Chen Jun, what material do you use for this ladder?" They don't seem to be very effective by burning them with fire. ”

Chen Zheng sat on the convertible, smiled slightly, and said, "Back to the city lord, the ordinary wood used in the lower part is not enough, it may be that their fire oil has failed, don't you see that there is still one that has been ignited?" ”

Of course, Chen Zheng would not tell Murakami that these ladders he made would have attributes, and only one of them did not have fireproof attributes.

Now that one has been ignited, it has become an excuse for Chen Zheng's explanation.

After thinking about it, Murakami actually believed Chen Zheng's words, nodded, and said, "That Takeda Nobuyoshi Old Turtle actually went out to fight on weekdays, where did he want his city to be attacked?" The oil that was ready to defend the city has failed, can he be undefeated? It's not like our Pingxin City, where we will check the oil every day, but if it were us, it would definitely not be like this. Ha ha! ”

Chen Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Murakami's half-self-talking and half-boasting words.

Isn't it because you're afraid of Takeda Nobuyoshi attacking you that you can inspect fire oil every day? It's really shameless to say it so high-soundingly.

Although Chen Zheng looked down on Murakami Ming a little, for the sake of Murakami Sakura's face, he didn't expose him, and Nojiri and Kuroto also fought well over there.

Chen Zheng once heard a saying that the most powerful general is not a general who wins a hundred battles, but a general who is defeated in a hundred battles.

A general of Yum may be wiped out by a single defeat, while a general of a hundred defeats knows best how to protect himself, and will often turn defeat into victory at critical moments.

And Kuroji and Nojiri are the kind of generals who are defeated, and the previous battles between Murakami and Takeda Nobuyoshi basically ended with Murakami's defeat, so Nojiri and Kurojiri have accumulated a lot of defeat experience.

Now that Chen Zheng has joined their camp and provided new combat skills and siege equipment, Kurotto and Nojiri have finally performed at their due level.

Murakami's team rushed to the Jiafei city wall in waves, and Takeda Nobuyoshi personally supervised the battle on the city wall, wandering everywhere.

Chen Zheng and Murakami Sakura are very comfortable, sitting in an open-top car, which is more comfortable than Murakami Ming riding on horseback.

Looking at it from a distance, Chen Zheng can also see that the battle situation is extremely fierce, although Murakami Ming's side has an advantage, but to say that it is almost like a fool's dream to capture Jiafei City in one go.

After continuing to attack for several hours, the offensive slowly weakened, which Murakami had already seen.

"Chen Jun, should you withdraw first?" Murakami asked.

After such a prompt from Murakami, Chen Zheng also saw that he was already weak in attack at this time, thinking that Murakami had already decided to withdraw from the army, but he was just habitually asking for other people's opinions.

So, Chen Zheng followed Murakami's words and said: "Returning to the city lord, I will observe below, at this time, the offensive is not as good as before, and the soldiers are already quite tired; However, the enemy troops on the city wall are waiting for their work and are united, and if they continue to force the attack, it will only increase casualties. ”

Murakami nodded and said, "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, and the city lord and Chen Jun think exactly the same." Come on, Mingjin collects the troops! ”

While! While! While!

Mingjin's voice reached the battlefield, Kuroto and Nojiri naturally heard it, and the two glanced at each other, and then ordered to retreat.

In addition to one of the already burning ladders, the rest of the ladders and other siege equipment were brought back.

Seeing that Murakami's team was gradually retreating, the soldiers in the city were relieved.

The side defending the city seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact it was under more pressure, and at this time the enemy retreated, and many soldiers collapsed directly in place, panting for breath.

Only Takeda Nobuyoshi did not relax, he knew that the retreat at this time must be for a more fierce attack in the future, so he would not think that Murakami would kindly let himself go.

Because, if it were him, Takeda Nobuyoshi would also take the other party's city in one fell swoop.

Therefore, after Takeda Nobuyoshi ordered his soldiers to rest for a while, he began to prepare for defense, and replenished rolling stones, hot oil, fire oil, bows and arrows, etc.

Sure enough, as Takeda Nobuyoshi expected, Murakami's troops did not retreat, but stationed not far away, ready for a second attack.

Seeing that Kuroto and Nojiri were back, Murakami personally dismounted to greet him, saying, "The two generals worked hard!" ”

The two didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly turned over and dismounted, and said, "The failure to break the city has disappointed the city lord." ”

Chen Zheng saw that several people had dismounted, and if he was still sitting in an open-top car, holding Murakami Sakura, it didn't seem appropriate, so he also stepped down from the car and said with a smile: "This siege war itself is a protracted war and a war of attrition, don't rush for a while, and after the soldiers are full of wine and food, it's not too late to attack the city." ”

"Chen Jun is right, pass on the order of the lord of the city, prepare wine and food, and reward the sergeants!" Murakami said.

Kurotto and Nojiri gave a military salute of Fusang and said, "Thank you city lord, thank you Chen Jun!" ”

This scene was all seen by Takeda Nobuyoshi and others on the city wall not far away, and someone next to him suggested: "City Lord, they are eating and drinking now, we might as well go out of the city and kill them by surprise." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi's subordinates are all accustomed to victory, and it is the first time that they have been attacked with grievances like today, and they are all eager to fight out of the city.

After thinking for a while, Takeda Nobuyoshi shook his head and said: "We don't have many soldiers, if we go out of the city, we can only divide the troops. ”

A person next to him said unconvinced: "As far as the combat effectiveness of Murakami's soldiers, are you afraid of him?" Our soldiers can block two with one, right? ”

"Yes!" The soldiers behind him responded.

But Takeda Nobuyoshi still shook his head and said: "The lord of this city fully believes in your combat effectiveness, but that Murakami is shameless, if he just drags you and then orders the team to attack the city, then the number of soldiers on the city wall is not enough, and I am afraid that the defense of the city will not be successful." ”

Everyone has no choice, and since Takeda Nobuyoshi has decided to defend it, it can only be done like this.
