Chapter 540: Morale is high
Fa Zheng and Wei Yan in Hiroshima City did not make any other preparations except to lead people to widen the moat around the city. Anyway, they didn't plan to go out of the city to engage the enemy, and it was useless to prepare.
After Abe Yongshin rushed to the outside of Hiroshima with the 50,000 troops of the island nation, he also surrounded Hiroshima Castle with great success. In fact, this can't be blamed on the fact that the soldiers of the island country are not going well, and if there is no hindrance, if it is not smooth, it can only exist in a dream.
The siege of Hiroshima Castle was also expected by the Hosho Sho. Since he didn't have the ability to fight out, the result would naturally be surrounded.
"Hyozhi, how long do you think we can hold out?" Wei Yan stood on the wall of Hiroshima City, looking at the soldiers of the island country outside the city who could not be seen at a glance, but he asked Fa Zheng with a relaxed face.
Fa Zheng looked at the army of the island nation outside the city at this time, and he also had a pleasant smile on his face. "How long does it take for the army of the island nation to reach the head of Hiroshima Castle?"
The two of them are not really heartless, and they are not worried about the loss of Hiroshima Castle at all. It's that the two of them have done the best they can, and since that's the case, what's the use of worrying?
In the face of tens of thousands of island nation troops, even the soldiers in the city, no matter how elite they are, are inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts. Especially the people in the city who must help defend the city, at the beginning, they were able to stand up with their enthusiasm, but after seeing the boundless island army at this time, it was a little difficult for them to stand firm.
Wei Yan and Fa Zheng behaved extremely calmly at this time, which made the soldiers on the city wall and the strong men who helped feel a little more calm.
After Abe Yongxin surrounded the city, he naturally had great peace in his heart. According to his intelligence. There were only 3,000 defenders in the city. Why be afraid?
There was no shouting. Abe Yongshin directly ordered the army to attack from all sides, regardless of priority.
Attacking from all sides, regardless of priority, so that the soldiers defending the city had to disperse the soldiers, and at the same time, it also dispersed the siege army. If there are not enough defenders in the city, this is undoubtedly one of the best ways to do this.
The defenders of the city were only 3,000 people, and the army of the island country besieged them from all sides, regardless of their main and secondary priorities, and suddenly the soldiers in the city could not rest. Defending a city is a physical job. If you don't get enough information, it will only take a few days, and I'm afraid that the soldiers defending the city won't even be able to lift their swords.
It's just a pity that although Abe Yongxin thinks well, the situation in the city is not what he thinks after all.
It is true that there are only 3,000 defenders in the city, but there are still thousands of people willing to help. Although the people were not able to fight the enemy like real soldiers, they were still able to draw their bows and shoot arrows and throw rolling stones and sassalwood under the city before the soldiers of the island nation rushed to the city walls.
In this way, the soldiers in the city can also save a lot of physical strength. After repelling the soldiers of the island nation, you can also get a quick rest.
In particular, there are 3,000 soldiers in Hiroshima Castle, and hundreds of soldiers summoned by the system as the mainstay. The existence of these soldiers. It also plays a good role model. These soldiers are all hot-blooded young people, even if they are all robes, but who would think that they must be worse?
Especially their robes, they won't watch the robes fight alone, but they sit on the ground and watch.
After a day of fierce fighting, although the defenders in the city suffered a lot of losses, they were tired enough, but they also caused a lot of losses to the soldiers of the island country. In particular, Fa Zheng had studied the battle case of Ye Mo's defense of the city before, and he had learned a lot of things.
When it comes to war culture, the Han Dynasty doesn't know that it is hundreds of years ahead of the island nation. And Ye Mo's experience, among them, has thousands of years of accumulation in the development of China.
In this way, it was not until the evening that Abe Yongxin counted the points and found that in just one day's work, more than 5,000 soldiers of the island country had been killed and wounded, although more than 3,000 of them were temporarily conscripted people.
Originally, Abe Yongshin planned to continue the attack with torches at night. But looking at this number of casualties, Abe Yongxin still reluctantly gave up this plan.
If the attack continues at the current level of damage, Hiroshima Castle will definitely be captured in two days at most. But Abe did not dare to continue with this casualty figure, and although Oda Nobunaga said that he would only let him take Hiroshima Castle, he did not say anything else. But Abe Yongxin understands that if the soldiers lose too much, he Abe Yongxin will definitely not have a good time in the future.
The rare night's rest also made Fa Zheng and Wei Changchang in the city breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, at the end of this day, the losses of the soldiers in the city were relatively not large, only more than 300 people. However, after a day of fierce fighting, these soldiers almost exhausted their physical strength.
When night fell, after the soldiers of the island country retreated, these soldiers directly lay down on the city wall, and even their food was brought by the people in the city, and then they leaned on the city wall to eat.
"Xiaozhi, are you okay?" Wei Yan still had some strength left at this time, and he was patrolling the city wall. After seeing Fa Zheng lying on the city wall with the soldiers, he immediately touched Fa Zheng's feet with his feet casually.
After Fa Zheng heard Wei Yan's voice, he also raised his head from the ground with difficulty, glanced at Wei Yan, and then replied loudly: "No? Why don't you go and put your sister in front of Lao Tzu now, and see if Lao Tzu can do it! ”
Fa Zheng also often stays with ordinary soldiers, so he also understands how those people feel at this time. Therefore, in the face of Wei Yan's kind greetings, Fa Zheng's words were also a little meaty.
When Fa Zheng said this, the soldiers around him also laughed, and the fear of death in his heart instantly faded a little.
Wei Yan heard Fa Zheng say this, and heard the laughter of the soldiers around him, and instantly understood the meaning of Fa Zheng's words. "If I had a sister, I would really want to recognize you as a sister, but it's a pity! However, I don't know if you have an unmarried sister. ”
After saying this, Wei Yan laughed and left this section of the city wall. After the other soldiers heard Wei Yan's words, they burst into laughter.
The soldiers who didn't know about the other sections of the city wall saw those soldiers laughing happily, and after being curious, they also inquired one after another. Under this inquiry, I was also amused.
After those soldiers laughed, their fear of death also faded a little. Even, there are really many soldiers at this time who have expressed that they want to marry each other, and as long as they can go back alive by then, they must be true brothers.
After Wei Yan made a round of inspections, he had to go back to the City Lord's Mansion in the city to prepare for some matters for the second day. Since Fa Zheng is tired now, there are some things that Wei Yan has to do for him.
When he walked down the city wall, Wei Yan listened to the laughter of those soldiers coming from the city wall, and a slight smile appeared on his tense face.
At this time, the army of the island country outside the city had a bitter face. After a hard day, in the end, thousands of brothers were broken, which made those island soldiers feel better.
At this time, Abe Yongshin was just thinking that it would take a few days to recapture Hiroshima Castle without particularly big losses, so he didn't care too much about the morale of those soldiers. Besides, it wasn't his Abe family's private soldiers who were lost, so he wouldn't care.
Unconsciously, the mentality of the soldiers on both sides has also changed greatly. And the morale of the army is in stark contrast.
By the next day, when the island army was ready to continue the siege, the morale of the defenders in the city was also extremely high. Looking at the appearance of those soldiers, where it looks like they have been fighting fiercely for a day, and the blood stains on their bodies when they go out, it is completely the appearance of a new force.
