Chapter 897: Decapitation Operation
"My lord, the enemy's attack is very strong, and the defenders of the third layer can no longer withstand it."
When Saburo Toyoya led the reinforcements to the fourth layer of the defensive circle, the general of the defenders stationed on the fourth layer hurriedly reported to him.
Faced with such a situation, Saburo Toyoya quickly made a decision, that is, to completely abandon the third layer of defense and not support it.
In this way, he will throw in all the troops at his disposal to block the attack on the fourth layer.
After all, the third layer is no longer able to see it, even if he waves his army to reinforce now, it is impossible to effectively block those attacking enemies.
At the same time, it will also put his subordinates in a bitter battle.
You must know that if he sends reinforcements to reinforce the defenders of the third layer, then there is no way for some of the attacks on the third layer here in the fourth layer to continue.
After all, this is a means to avoid accidental injury.
Therefore, the decision made by Saburo Toyoya is still very correct at such a time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"What's that sound?"
Just after listening to the report of his subordinates, he made up his mind to abandon the third layer of defenders, when a dense burst of gunfire came from below.
When the shots rang out, the defenders of the fourth floor were hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground, and some even rolled over and fell to the third floor.
Iron Cannon!
After a brief period of doubt, Saburo Toyoya immediately became alert to what kind of weapon this voice came from.
Sure enough, he quickly looked out of the field and saw the rows of enemies below holding the 'iron cannons' in their hands, aiming at the fourth layer in turn.
After a quick leaning over to take a look, Saburo Toyoya retracted his body.
"I really can't believe that there are iron cannons in the enemy's army." , Saburo Kazeya frowned and said to the subordinates around him. In Saburo Toyoya's opinion, the enemy holds such a weapon. It's still a bit more troublesome for them.
After all, a weapon like this that can kill from a distance can cause them a lot of damage during siege warfare.
At the same time, the enemy's 'iron cannon' was not at all the same as he had seen before.
This kind of 'iron cannon' does not have that kind of support frame, and at the same time, the body of the gun has a streamlined beauty, which is very rough unlike the kind of 'iron cannon' he has seen.
Moreover, the enemy's 'iron cannon' still looks very well-made, and it is not so heavy.
However, now is not the time to think about it. He had a lot more serious to think about now.
So, after a short period of time, Saburo Toyoya immediately entered the state.
"Push me all the hot oil and the rolling wood, we're going to give the enemy a taste!"
Now Zhao Hongyu's attack momentum is very strong, if Toyoya Saburo can't stop it, then Shiliang City will be in danger.
He's already seen such a trend.
"My lord, there aren't enough rolling logs, and there's not much hot oil. Are we transferring some from somewhere else? ”
When Saburo Toyoya gave the order, one of his subordinates whispered a reminder.
What the. Not enough?
"Tear down some of the dwellings for me, and let those timbers be used to defend the city, do you still use me to teach you?"
After receiving the order, his subordinates left in a hurry.
Saburo Kazeya made such a decision. Of course, the inhabitants of the city were not taken into account.
However, his current idea cannot be said to be incorrect.
You must know that the enemy is now present. If he still thinks about it and has so many scruples. When the enemy captures Shira Castle, that will be the biggest disaster.
As for the people who want to demolish their homes, there is no way to stop them, whether they agree or not. As a resident of Shira Castle. Now, when Shiliang City is facing such a crisis, aren't they going to do their part?
Moreover, after the demolition of those houses, large timber could be used to defend the city. Some small pieces of wood are not enough to inflict damage on the enemy, but they can be used as roadblocks to slow down the enemy's attack.
The reason why the first and second layers and the third layer of defense circles fell so quickly was not only because the enemy's weapons were really sophisticated, but also because they did not set up barricades on the circling path leading to the upper level.
If only they had set up some barricades to slow down the enemy's advance.
Then, it is impossible for the enemy to capture these three layers of defense in such a short period of time.
You must know that the nine passes in the inner city, coupled with the narrow winding mountain road, as long as some obstacles are set up, it will be a big trouble for the enemy army.
Saburo Toyoya is constantly reflecting on himself, but fortunately, he is not without the opportunity to correct and fill the loophole of this mistake.
It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that there are not many opportunities left for him.
"Report!"
Just as Saburo Kazetani was about to put in the fourth layer of defense to meet the enemy who was about to rush up.
A herald with a small flag and a hat, and a few routs who looked a little embarrassed, were rushing from not far away.
After the herald carrying a small flag came to him, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Lord Qiyu, the defenders of the third layer have been completely wiped out, and the enemy is attacking the third layer pass, and at the same time, the defenders of the seventh layer have mutinied collectively, and the guards stationed on the seventh layer have been beheaded by the mutinous soldiers, please show me." ”
Nani!
Hearing the news suddenly, Saburo Toyoya immediately froze.
He really couldn't understand why the defenders of the seventh layer were mutiny.
This makes no sense.
Besides, when he led the army to the fourth floor, he passed through the seventh floor and saw that there was nothing unusual about the good people over there.
Why did the seventh layer mutinier in just a short period of time?
Moreover, even the guards were beheaded.
It's really hard to figure out.
Yes, Saburo Toyoya, who heard the news, really couldn't figure it out at all.
Moreover, the news that the herald said made him feel a little strange.
However, before Toyoya Saburo could think carefully about what this strange thing was, he saw that the herald suddenly burst out, and then raised his hand to shoot dozens of hidden weapons, and at the same time stabbed the spear in his hand and stabbed it fiercely at Toyoya Saburo.
At this time, the generals who surrounded Saburo Kazeya, including Saburo Toyoya, did not react to this.
Because they were still shocked by the news from the herald.
Therefore, when he attacked Saburo Kazetani in a violent attack, there was no one who could help at this time.
Burst!
The spear hit the target, piercing Saburo Kazeya's body fiercely, and then the hidden weapons were nailed to Saburo Toyoya's body, as well as his front door.
After doing all this, the generals around him haven't reacted yet. And this herald who suddenly assassinated Saburo Toyoya snatched the katana from the hand of a samurai next to him, and jumped into the crowd and began to kill.
With the action of this herald, the guys who seemed to be the routs who came with him also drew their weapons and participated.
For a time, the generals of Shiliang Castle who came with Saburo Kazetani were severely damaged, and almost many of them died on the spot, and some were seriously injured.
None of them thought that such an accident would occur.
So, this gives those Iga ninja people a chance.
And these Iga ninjas did not live up to Zhao Hongyu's expectations, and simply dealt a big blow to the defenders of Shiliang City.
The battle began very abruptly and ended quickly.
These Iga-ryu shinobi had no intention of fighting these people at all, and after they suddenly broke out and caused a large number of casualties, they immediately broke away from this side, and then disappeared after a few uprisings.
At this time, the survivors of Shiliang City, who were attacked, only then did they know what had happened to them.
Oh my God, the enemy is still the ninja.
Yes, only a ninja can do such a thing.
"My lord! How's it going, sir! ”
At this time, Saburo Kazeya was spitting blood foaming at his mouth and convulsing constantly, and he couldn't see that it was no longer good.
In the killing just now, the generals of Shiliang City were almost completely killed.
Even if there are so many fish that slip through the net, they are still some small roles that cannot be put on the stage.
Who told Saburo Toyoya that he didn't have time to arrange the task and give orders just now, so all the generals were around him.
Therefore, with such a gathering of personnel, a surprise attack by the Iga ninjas, coupled with those overwhelming hidden weapons, these guys will not be able to escape at all.
Saburo Toyoya slowly swallowed his breath under the call of the guards, and he didn't say a word until he died.
The assassin's spear pierced the lobe of his lung, and he couldn't say a word except for the blood in his mouth.
Moreover, the hidden weapons that shot him were also stained with a lot of poison.
Under the poisonous attack, he had no way to leave a word.
Although the battle ended quickly, it brought a great shock to the remaining people.
They couldn't have imagined that there were such powerful ninjas in the enemy army they were facing.
So, they felt a biting chill sweep over their bodies.
Even the castle guard Toyoya Saburo was killed, can they still be spared?
They know very well how powerful ninjas are.
These guys are elusive and kill people invisibly.
God knows when, if you are unprepared, you will die from their swords.
Therefore, is it a wise choice to continue the confrontation?
What's more, the city guards are dead, who should they listen to now...... (To be continued......)
