Chapter 9 The Two Belligerents

A gloomy black cloud pressed down densely from the sky, and thunderous war drums and trumpets sounded outside Edo Castle, and the Toei army swarmed up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Thousands of Oda infantry, countless ladders, and improvised siege equipment rushed towards the opposite side in a haphazard manner, and the momentum seemed to want to go down in one fell swoop.

When they entered the distance of 100 meters, on the low walls of Edo, there was an instant of foreign soldiers armed with rifles, and under the orders of the officers, they fired round after round of volleys.

In the face of the rifle attack, these Dongying soldiers were indeed confused at first: the iron artillery of their own team was no match for the enemy at all, the highly mobile archers also had no problem with the city wall, and the heavy brigade of the Oda family was still a hundred miles away.

However, this did not bother Nobunaga, and after thinking about it, she simply ordered the soldiers to carry earth, rocks, and baffles when attacking.

Attack on one side to attract the enemy's attention, and on the other side build forward fortifications and slowly advance.

The Brittan soldiers wanted to sabotage the actions of the Dongying people, but their strength and ammunition limited their hands and feet.

Even Lorraine herself has no choice, does she have to single-handedly take on a group of spellcasters on the opposite side?

Even if he has the strength of an archmage (the strength of severe irrigation), two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, it is better to play the effect of the son of the kingdom of heaven.

Putting the vast majority of mana into the Children of the Heavens, the ability to set up a frontline base anytime, anywhere, is what the army needs most.

What's more, taking Edo Castle meant having a lot of supplies, at least not starving.

Without the pressure of food, Lorraine was able to free up a considerable amount of supply capacity, constantly producing ammunition and healing items, and summoning elemental warriors to guard against possible civil unrest.

Although the ammunition that the Son of Heaven is capable of making has some shortcomings, it is better than nothing.

Those soldiers who were resting in the back were also recovering and joining the defense as reinforcements.

Nobunaga's army, by contrast, was much more pathetic.

His hometown was stolen and he had to leave the battlefield urgently, and the land and people that had been embezzled by the Uesugi family were not mentioned for the time being.

But there is not enough food, grass and military supplies in the army!

Especially after three days of siege, this situation is getting more and more serious.

"Lord, the fourth attack...... Failed......"

"Hmm...... I see it, let's go and prepare for the next attack. ”

Nobunaga's indifferent voice made the Shogun feel uncomfortable, and he felt that he had to say something.

"Lord, our food, grass and morale are too lacking, please show mercy to the soldiers and let them rest!"

The generals on their knees shouted admonishment, and for a moment no one spoke in the tent, until Nobunaga stood up and calmly drew his katana.

"That's what you're trying to say?"

The voice of the lord and the unsheath of the katana made the commander feel the fear of death, but his loyalty must not be disappointed, and he must advise the lord, even if it is at the cost of death......

"Hey! For the sake of the Oda family, please think twice. ”

Then he was kicked into the air, "Do you think I'm going to kill you?" Damn bastards, save your lives and let the soldiers rest and wait for my orders. ”

Nobunaga turned around and ignored the general's words, although he had been prepared for a long time, but the combat power of the Xiyi people was really amazing.

The three-day offensive and defensive battle had already made Nobunaga famous, and the number of foreign troops on the opposite side was not large, but the firearms were really powerful.

Whether it is a new iron cannon or a light general cannon (Dongying has not imported artillery for the time being), it is fascinating...... I mean terrible.

"Such a militaristic weapon, if it can be used in border warfare, how can the Uesugi Tiger and the Tokugawa Tortoise be my opponents."

However, the priority is not to consider these, everything depends on the internal and external plans of tonight......

"General, the Dongying people have retreated again."

"Very good, just hold on, I think two more days, the noble leaders of the Dongying people will choose to negotiate, how is the situation of the soldiers?"

"It feels okay, only ten unlucky people were killed in three days, but we killed at least a hundred times the number of Dongying people."

"In other words, your ammunition is also running out quickly, so save some money, especially artillery ammunition!"

"Yes."

After learning about the soldiers, Lorraine thought about it and decided to take a look at the magic armor.

After so many days of sailing, and not knowing what the situation of these land elites really was, now they could not find Alexander, so they had to command them on their own.

While heading to the warehouse where the magic armor was hidden, Lorraine took a look at the situation in the city.

Although Edo Castle, the capital of Toei, has not faced a war for a long time, the people do not seem to have much fear.

Or that ordinary people don't care about this, and only those Oda samurai who were defeated and disarmed would want to write something else.

For example, spying on intelligence, assassinating officers, setting fire to supplies, etc.

In a state of war, such a situation was very common in enemy-occupied areas, and Lorraine encountered countless situations during the Northern Expedition.

Generally speaking, the criminals are arrested with their families, and they will be used as labor force without surprisingly.

Of course, this unsafe approach could easily lead to rebellion, so Lorraine commissioned Miura to find slave traders.

A sunny-looking young girl who calls herself Li Dian and is a businessman from Songguo.

The girl's background, Lorraine has no way or bothered to bother to investigate, as long as the other party can pay for the materials and money happily, everything is easy to say.

The thought of selling at least a thousand outlaws in just three days after the start of the war made Lorraine's heart - really, really happy.

The trouble is fundamentally eliminated, and I just need to look at the magic armor again, can I not be happy?

However, when he came to the warehouse and carefully studied and repaired, he found that there were many problems.

After all, it is a mechanized force that has just appeared, and there will always be problems with parts and magic runes during long-distance transportation.

It's just that there aren't enough magical talents on hand to repair these big iron shells, and everything can only be relied on by Lorraine himself.

Fortunately, with the presence of the Sons of Heaven, and the fact that the guards and little goblins were able to do small things, they were able to check all the armor.

By this time, it was already dark.

"General, now that the work here is complete, let's go back quickly."

"Well, that's fine...... But why does it feel a little cold? ”

The guards were a little confused, it stands to reason that Dongying, who was in the summer, didn't have much chill, but now he and the general felt a little cold.

Soon Lorraine knew why, although the magic operated in different forms, the rotten smell of death still let him know what was coming.

"Get ready, there's an undead coming."

"Well, it's up to you."

The demon-breaking bullet was loaded, and the enchanted weapon was placed in a position that was easy to take out, and the group watched cautiously with bated breath.

And thenβ€”

A group of female ghosts with long flowing hair and tattered white dresses appeared.

They didn't seem to notice the Bretanians on guard, and they flew towards the Wizard Armor, the fastest one already tapping his hand to the armor's shell.

Lorraine feels that he can't wait any longer, no one knows if these female ghosts will have an impact on the magic armor, once there is an accident, his hole cards will be directly reimbursed, so how to play!

So, he jumped out with his men.

"Demacia! Bah...... Hands up!
