Chapter 199: Variables
The high priest did not know what was happening.
But in the other corner of Ise Castle, to be precise, it is a corner that is largely undefended. This is a remote location in Ise Castle, and there is no way for ordinary people to attack from here.
Therefore, it was also regarded as an absolutely safe place by the people, and the high priest did not even leave anyone to supervise it. After all, the situation in Ise City is not good now, and there are still many restrictions on the number of troops.
Since it is certain that it is relatively safe, it is natural to use the limited force in the key places. Otherwise, they may not be able to resist Zhuge Liang's attack, which is not a simple matter.
It's a pity that the high priest didn't think of itβ
Xiaowei Camp is no ordinary person!
In fact, a few days ago, Zhuge Liang had already begun to prepare, since it was determined that it was not easy to attack head-on, then he must find other suitable methods, and they found this place.
It was clearly a void in the city's defenses, and it was not noticed by the High Priest, or in other words, it was purposefully ignored by the High Priests, and no one could have imagined that anyone would actually come here.
After all, the surrounding terrain is complex, and the castle is smooth, so it is basically impossible to climb the castle tower directly. Even siege equipment such as ladders cannot be used, and there are many restrictions.
It is precisely for these reasons that the high priest did not arrange for the guards to guard it, and regarded it as a vacuum area.
If it was just an ordinary army, they would naturally not choose here, and it was indeed inconvenient to march here. And if you want to enter the tower, I am afraid that the price you have to pay will be even more.
But if it doesn't work for ordinary people, it doesn't mean that it can't do it for the Xiaowei battalion, they never need such a thing as a ladder to raid the city. There are so many tools at their disposal.
Just like at this moment, the Xiaowei battalion is obviously prepared.
This time, Zhuge Liang brought four hundred Xiao guard battalions to come, don't look at this number, but when they fight head-on, their combat effectiveness is enough to make the defenders in the city completely fall into despair.
However, for the time being, the high priest is holding Ise Castle and does not give them a chance to attack head-on. Since the opponent doesn't give a chance, then he can only create a chance by himself, Zhuge Liang thinks so.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also have a good understanding of the strength of the Xiaowei Battalion, and know the strengths and weaknesses of the Xiaowei Battalion. The strength of the Xiaowei battalion lies in the outstanding in all aspects, and the combat effectiveness is terrifying.
As for the shortcomings, there is only one in the strict sense, and that is the number of people.
If there is a 100,000 Xiaowei battalion, this number of Xiaowei battalions, I am afraid that if a fool of them can take it, they can unify the world, but this kind of thing is obviously impossible, they didn't think much about it.
The 400 Xiao Guard Battalion gathered here, and they were following Zhuge Liang's order to prepare for a direct raid on Ise Castle.
Before the high priest could react, he ascended the tower in one fell swoop.
At that time, the Xiaowei Battalion will naturally be able to exploit their advantages and crush the defenders of Ise Castle head-on.
It's just a few thousand people.
What a way.
The Xiaowei battalion took out a few hook claws, threw them up quickly, and then hung them firmly on the city wall.
After making sure that there was no danger, the Xiaowei battalion directly began to act, and the speed was really jaw-dropping. It's just a few breaths, and the Xiaowei battalion has already climbed the tower.
And the follow-up soldiers of the Xiaowei battalion one after another, looking orderly, before the enemy found out, as much as possible to form combat effectiveness, but what is extremely strange is that it ......
The enemy army did not react, it was not prepared at all here, and it can be said that the landing of the Xiaowei battalion was not hindered at all, which made everyone a little surprised.
But that's not a bad thing.
Especially for the Guardian Battalion, they are now in full state with only four hundred people. Now that you've climbed the tower, it's time to start the big battle.
For them, the big war is not difficult.
In fact, after several major battles, the Xiaowei Battalion is already full of self-confidence, even if there is no Chen Jue to lead the team this time, they still do not have the slightest doubt about the strength of the Xiaowei Battalion.
The soldiers followed closely and moved forward.
β¦β¦
The battle in front of Ise Castle has begun and is continuing.
At this moment, King Ise was staying in the palace, and in front of him, a middle-aged man was kneeling.
The man said:
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, do you want to do it now?"
King Ise's eyes were slightly cold, and he remembered how the high priest had done to him, and that attitude was really irritating.
However, he was not in a hurry, although he was unhappy with King Ise, but the most important thing was his own interests. He definitely needs to think about it, not just do it aimlessly.
After a while, another scout came in and said:
"Your Majesty, the battle outside is still going on, it seems to be very anxious, and there is no way to observe the specific situation."
King Ise was silent for a moment, but this time he didn't hesitate for too long, but quickly made up his mind.
After a brief period of consideration, King Ise said:
"The enemy outside is definitely not so simple, it looks evenly matched at the moment, and there must be other conspiracies behind it. We can't wait any longer, you can do it right now, and raid those damned rebels and thieves. β
When the man heard this, he replied:
"Obedience!"
Naturally, King Ise was not willing to sit idly by, and now that the matter had come to this, he had to take the initiative to take the lead.
In fact, King Ise himself couldn't say why he was sure that the enemy would win, but this feeling made him make a right choice at the moment.
With the order of King Ise, the soldiers and horses in the city were quickly mobilized.
In fact, the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Ise must be inferior to the number of soldiers and horses under the command of the high priest. There are only about 3,000 people in total, all of whom are the original team of King Ise.
Now that it's time to get to this point, King Ise will definitely not keep his hand, after all, the final solution of keeping his hand will probably be cold by then, so what's the point of preserving the strength?
In this case, the only way to do this is to go all out.
At this moment, on the top of Ise Castle, the battle is still going on, and it looks very fierce, but the casualties seem to be strictly controlled.
After a stalemate for some time, the high priest also sensed that something was wrong, he was not a fool, except for that remote place, he left some soldiers to guard the rest of the place, and he did not dare to take it lightly.
But now it's calm, and it's not like an accident has happened at all.
But the high priest did sense that something was wrong, and at this moment he frowned slightly, although he didn't know what was happening, but he was subconsciously a little worried, and he seemed to be in trouble.
Turning again, the High Priest looked at the enemy forces that were still besieging the city.
The thought in my heart changed, and I thought:
"What the hell is going on, is there any accident, it can't be where the enemy army came in, but with the terrain over there, and there are no ladders and other equipment, how can it be possible?"
The high priest was a little worried after all, and after a moment's hesitation, he shouted:
"Go to the northwest corner immediately to check, and if there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
His subordinates took the order and left.
At this point, the high priest finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That shouldn't be a problem.
However, this silence did not last long, and soon someone reported it, and the footsteps seemed unusually hurried:
"High Priest, there is a rebellion in the city, and they are coming to kill the tower."
This is the castle where the king of Ise has already started, and their purpose is very clear, that is, the castle where the high priest is located.
Everyone understands the truth that the thief captures the king first.
As long as the high priest is solved, then the remaining people will naturally be his King Ise's.
King Ise has made a great calculation.
Hearing this news, the high priest couldn't help but be stunned, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he was stunned and said:
"Someone rebelled...... Could it be that kid! β
The high priest's face changed instantly, and he quickly understood the reason, I am afraid that this is the method of King Ise.
The high priest secretly sighed in his heart.
I really underestimated King Ise, and I didn't expect this guy to be low-key for many years, and there was still hiding it behind his back.
The most important thing is that there was no movement at all, at least the high priest did not notice it at all.
But now it broke out suddenly, and when the enemy army was attacking the city, did you want to attack both inside and outside?
If that's the case, you're in real trouble.
The High Priest was a little worried, he knew what his current situation meant, but how could he be willing to give in?
In fact, the high priest was also a little worried about whether King Ise's actions were due to contact with the enemy forces outside, or whether he really chose to do so unilaterally, and such a matter was obviously very important.
However, the current situation could not be stopped by the high priest, and he looked at the enemy army behind him, and the offensive seemed to have weakened a lot. Then at this moment, he has to get down to business.
Without delay, the High Priest directly ordered:
"Immediately lead the troops and horses, and follow me to suppress the rebellion."
It was the high priest who ran away with half of the men, and the remaining half continued to resist the enemy.
That's right, the High Priest's idea was simple, that is, to take advantage of the rebellion in the city before it was fully formed, annihilate it in one go, and then go all out against the foreign enemy.
While leading the troops to run, the high priest became more and more angry in his heart, and secretly hated:
"Damn it, it's clear that he will win right away, this guy has to come out and make a difference......"
The High Priest was still unaware of the entry of the Guards.
He was angry at King Ise's choice at the moment, but the most important thing was to solve this matter as soon as possible.
If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid the castle tower will really be difficult to hold onto.
In the city, the rebel army has begun to run in all directions, and they rush in the direction of the tower.
Now the people are basically hidden in the houses, but it is not too dangerous, and then the high priest brings people to kill, and the two sides are fighting together, which is really fierce.
There are half fewer people on the castle tower, and the difference is quite obvious.
Zhuge Liang They still found out, their eyes swept over the city tower, Zhuge Liang said with some surprise:
"Could it be that the Xiaowei battalion has been discovered, why are the enemy troops acting so well?"
After all, they didn't have direct contact with King Ise, and they didn't know that King Ise had chosen to do it directly.
On the contrary, it was the Xiaowei camp that sneaked into the city, and it seemed that it had been discovered, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other.
Pang Tong's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"Regardless of whether the Xiaowei battalion has been discovered or not, since the enemy has withdrawn so many troops, there is no need to hesitate, let's do it immediately."
Although it has not yet reached the agreed time at this moment, Zhuge Liang and the others have already made up their minds, this is a good opportunity, there is no need to hesitate.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang and the others had already made up their minds.
The matter has come to this point, if they hesitate any longer, I am afraid that the fighter plane will be delayed, and they know the key very well, so they will naturally not let it go.
Soon, the signal was released.
In fact, after careful consideration, Zhuge Liang and the others already understood what was happening at the moment, and it was obviously not the Xiaowei Battalion that was discovered.
If it was really the reason for the Guardian Battalion, then they would definitely send a signal, not as suddenly as it is now, without any warning, and the feeling of being unexpected.
Since it is not the Xiaowei Battalion, there is only one possibility, and it must be that the king of Ise in the city chose to do it.
Although it is not the Xiaowei Battalion that has the upper hand, it is still a good opportunity. In the case of half of the enemy's troops, the Xiaowei battalion and the external flank attack will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The signal was issued, and the war began in an instant.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses in front of the city wall continued to attack, and they were not as restrained as Fang Cai, they were almost desperate to go all out, their goal was clear, and they did not hesitate at all.
And at this moment, above the city tower, the Xiaowei battalion finally reacted.
They were indeed lurking, and they were not discovered by the defenders at all, after all, the surrounding high priests did not arrange people to supervise them, and they climbed the city tower quietly in the Xiaowei camp, so naturally they were not so easy to find.
Originally, Zhuge Liang had made an appointment to do it, but at this moment, the signal did not have to be delayed.
Soon the Xiaowei battalion charged forward, and their goal was the same as that of the outside soldiers, to seize the opportunity of the city tower as soon as possible.
Only by taking the gate will they be able to take Ise Castle step by step, and at that time, even if the high priest resists stubbornly, it is impossible to achieve anything, which is very realistic.
The Xiaowei battalion moved quickly and was mighty.
And the strong attack of the army in front of the city wall made the defenders feel a lot of pressure, and their eyes widened and they felt incredible.
It is simply incomprehensible why the enemy army, which is obviously not worth mentioning, suddenly became powerful.
But whether they understand it or not, Zhuge Liang has already given an order anyway, that is, to go all out to capture Ise City.
Now the soldiers and horses of Yamatai, they no longer have the previous resistance, and they are also very hard to fight.
They were insignificant against the Guards, but they were still able to make a difference.
Such a battle could not have lasted long.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the high priest led the people back to defense.
In his opinion, the most critical factor is to solve the internal contradictions, because he has not yet discovered the abnormality of the city tower at the moment.
The soldiers and horses rushed to suppress the command of King Ise, and the high priest clearly wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. But the power of the rebellion was somewhat unexpected, at least not really expected by the High Priest.
The power of King Ise is not weak.
Faced with this, the high priest opened his eyes in anger and gritted his teeth.
Either way, he's going to defeat the enemy today, and kill that unknown bastard here!
