Chapter 547: Defending Hiroshima

The defenders on the city wall knew very well that if they did not retreat in time at this time, they would inevitably die under the sword of the island nation that was constantly pouring up the city wall.

But they knew better that if they retreated, although they would temporarily save a life, many more would die because of their retreat.

At this time, there were no parents in the city walls, and there were no wives and children behind them. However, since they stepped aboard the transport ship to the island nation, the lives of all their soldiers have been tied together. They are not brothers, but they are closer than brothers.

How is it possible for them to give up their brother's life for the sake of survival at this time?

Knowing that they would die, those guards still rushed towards those island soldiers desperately, in order to delay the progress of the island soldiers for a second.

Thanks to the efforts of the guards of the city, Ye Mo and the others finally arrived before the soldiers of the island country were about to completely occupy the eastern wall of Hiroshima Castle.

If the army of the island country had completely occupied this wall at this time, then Ye Mo and the others would have fallen into an extremely passive state. But at this time, the remaining thirty or so defenders on the city wall were still holding the passage of a staircase, and the situation was much better.

Although Ye Mo really wanted to lead people to open up a situation in person, Ye Mo knew his strength very well, if he did it himself, although he could succeed, but the time would be much more consuming.

Under Ye Mo's arrangement, Wei Yan became the arrow of the counterattack team, followed by Ye Mo, Cao Ang, Cao Hong and others. Behind them are the soldiers summoned by the system, and these soldiers are not only more elite than ordinary Han soldiers. And the cooperation is also more tacit.

As for Ye San. It was to take cover under the city walls with archers.

At this time, there was only a small area on the head of the city that was still occupied by the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. The rest of the place is full of soldiers of the island nation. Therefore, even though it was not yet dark, as long as the arrow was not aimed at the area where the Great Han soldier was, it was done, so it did not require how superb the archery skills were.

While Ye San guided other archers to shoot at the target from time to time, he also took care of the place where Ye Mo and them attacked. With Ye San's archery skills, he naturally doesn't have to worry about injuring his own people by mistake.

On the contrary, it was those soldiers of the island country who had been quite smooth during the night attack. But now, not only did they not take the walls. On the contrary, there is a faint possibility of being pressed back.

Abe Yongxin was broken in his heart at this time, and everything was so smooth before he attacked the city wall. But after the siege of the wall, everything changed.

"Kill, kill me!" Abe Yongxin is about to collapse at this time. said that he succeeded in taking Hiroshima Castle, and then he paid off the credit, and even showed his face in front of Oda Nobunaga. But looking at the situation now, it seems that it is not quite the same as the script he thought.

After hearing Abe's order, the private soldiers of the Abe family attacked the defenders on the city wall even more fiercely. However, at this time, there is Wei Yan, a fierce general, as an arrow. Abe's private soldiers have been constantly retreating under the onslaught of the Han army, and they want to rush forward. But where can it be done?

The private soldiers of the Abe family in the back were indeed squeezing to the front, but the soldiers in front were constantly retreating under the pressure of the Han's soldiers. As a result, the soldiers of the island nation were huddled together, and then suffered a covering attack by the archers under the city, and they were immediately killed and wounded.

On the city wall, Abe Yongshin was in a hurry, but he was not well prepared, and as long as there were no reinforcements, it would be a matter of time before he failed.

Outside the city, the commander sent by Oda Nobunaga had already come out with the rest of the island nation's army, but although they could see that the private soldiers of the Abe family on the city wall had no way to move, but looking at the wolf rider in front of them, the fear in their hearts surged up again.

But there was no way, the commander could not have let Abe Esnobu go alone.

In fact, if Abe Yongshin was attacking the city with Abe's private soldiers at this time, the commander would not have paid attention to it. But the key issue is that if Abe Eishin gets reinforcements, it seems that he can take Hiroshima Castle.

Without artillery, the commander knew that this was the best chance to do so. If they didn't grasp this time, they wouldn't have had any way to take Hiroshima Castle.

"Kill!"

Looking at the wolf rider in front of him, the commander was entangled for a long time, and when he saw the private soldiers of the Abe family on the city wall being forced to retreat step by step, the commander finally gave the order to attack.

With the actions of the sergeants of the island country, Zhang Liao gave an order, and with a wave of the herald command flag behind him, the three thousand wolf riders turned into two parts, thinking that they would scatter on both sides.

After seeing the wolf rider's operation, the commander of the island nation suddenly changed his face. Originally, when the foot soldiers encountered cavalry in the field, they should have lined up and waited. Taking the initiative will inevitably lead to unexpected changes in the camp.

But even so, the commander of the island nation had no choice, so he could only put the spearmen and the samurai he brought with him at the front to deal with the onslaught of the cavalry from the opposite side.

However, what he didn't expect was that his mind seemed to be seen through by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's move was obviously to attack from the two armies of the island country.

At this time, the commander had seen it for hundreds of years, but there was no way to do it. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and let the soldiers continue to attack. At the same time, let the soldiers on both wings rush out to slow down the advance of the wolf horseman.

After Zhang Liao set up an ambush in the grassland, it was as if he had opened his mind. Whether it is in the training of soldiers or in the deployment of troops, there has been a significant improvement. At this time, he saw that in order to slow down their advance, the army of the island country did not hesitate to give up the lives of thousands of people in exchange for time.

If this move is for ordinary light cavalry, it may be a more troublesome thing. However, they were not ordinary light cavalry, they were one of the most elite light cavalry of the Han Dynasty - the Wolf Cavalry of the Prefecture.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary general who commanded them, but Zhang Liao, who was called a god general by Ye Mo.

Zhang Liao didn't change much at the beginning, just like that, he led one of the light cavalry to kill the soldiers of the island country who were separated. Those soldiers were originally ranked behind, and they were originally slightly inferior in terms of combat effectiveness. This time, he faced the elite light cavalry of the big man and the wolf cavalry of the state, and suddenly those wolf riders cut off the heads of the soldiers of the island country one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.

After the commander of the island nation finally approached the walls of Hiroshima Castle, Zhang Liao's order was given again.

With the waving of the herald's flag, the wolf horsemen, which had been divided into two parts, once again divided five hundred each, took off the bow and arrows on their backs, and rushed towards the city wall.

This time, instead of rushing directly to the camp of the island nation's army, they kept guerrilla around them.

It was not easy for those island soldiers to climb the city wall. After all, at this time, the defenders of the city had already taken back a considerable part of the city walls. The private soldiers of the Abe family are retreating faster and faster at this time.

The city walls are crowded with people, how can the soldiers of the island country under the city climb up? Even if you climb up, you can only go with the flow at this point.

Seeing the family private soldiers on the city wall continue to fall, and the army below the city wall has no way to climb the city wall, Abe Yong is in a hurry with confidence. But it was useless to rush, and as time went by, their defeat was already doomed.

"Poof!"

Thinking of Oda Nobunaga's methods after this failure, Abe Yongxin finally couldn't stand it, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person suddenly fainted on the city wall. If it weren't for the support of the soldiers around him, he might have been trampled into meat at this time.

Just when the overall situation was about to be decided, Ye Mo also wiped the sweat on his head with his hands. Fortunately, because the defenders on the city wall desperately defended the city, they could not let the island soldiers occupy the city wall at the beginning.

However, when Ye Mo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, shouts of killing sounded in the city. After Ye Mo heard the sound, he was immediately shocked, and when he looked towards the city, he found that there were panicked people everywhere.

"Could it be that the island army still has the means?" At this time, Ye Mo thought in his heart.

"Even if you still have the means, as long as I'm still here, you don't want to take Hiroshima Castle back!" Although Ye Mo didn't know what was happening in the city, Ye Mo's eyes were extremely firm at this time. No matter what happens, he will defend Hiroshima Castle to the death! (To be continued.) )
