Chapter 841: Weak Resistance
"Lord Xionger, the losses of the Second Corps are already very heavy, do you want to let them withdraw now? If they continue to attack like this, then they will probably be wiped out. ”
The Second Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army, which had just risen from the castle in front, was braving arrows to attack the gate of Okazaki Castle and launch a charge. They carried the battering wood and constantly slammed into the gates of Okazaki Castle, and paid a very heavy price for it.
More than seven hundred soldiers, after a short charge, have lost more than a hundred.
If Yuji Kawabe allowed to continue their attacks, the rest of them will soon be wiped out.
"Is the artillery ready? If you're ready, let them take it down for now. When the gates are smashed down, they will be needed for the charge. ”
Yuji Riverbe is a bad guy, in fact, he obviously has artillery to use, and he can wait until the artillery knocks down the gate of Okazaki Castle before letting the Second Corps start attacking, but he just let the Second Corps charge at this time, so the Second Corps also lost a lot of manpower.
It's just that for Yuji Kawabe, this question can't be thought of like this.
In fact, he also took this opportunity to let the Second Corps prove their loyalty.
Otherwise, God knows if they will betray themselves in the future.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
As the artillery in the rear was reloaded, a soldier raised a conch horn and blew it.
The soldiers of the 2nd Corps, who were crowded at the city gates, heard the sound of the trumpet and immediately withdrew as if they had been granted amnesty.
In fact, they had wanted to retreat for a long time, if they hadn't thought of the consequences of retreating, then they would have retreated long ago, and they would not have held out until now.
The second corps, which had been torn down, stopped again outside the range of Okazaki Castle's bow and arrows, and then formed a queue.
Yuji Kawabe asked the herald to convey his order.
Therefore, they all knew that the Second Corps would attack later.
For such an order. They did not dare to disobey.
As a captive and at the same time a person who wants to surrender, this is the fate.
Therefore, no one is resentful.
It is better for the Japanese to be better at this, they are willing to accept their fate, and once they accept their fate, they will be very honest.
The third shelling began, but half of the artillery shells were replaced with flowering shots.
This kind of flowering bomb covers a large area, and it has great lethality to the soldiers stationed at the head of Okazaki Castle.
When the Second Corps attacked just now, Yuji Kawabe had already observed very clearly in the rear.
At the head of Okazaki Castle. There are also quite a few archers.
If the gates of Okazaki Castle fall after a while, and when they attack, these archers will definitely inflict great losses on their side.
Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary losses and save the lives of the musketeers, it was necessary to kill the archers at the head of Okazaki Castle.
This is also the reason why Yuji Riverside sent out the Second Corps for the sake of Lu He's previous time.
In addition to being good cannon fodder, the Second Corps was also a pawn and tool to test the defensive strength of Okazaki Castle.
As a low-level being, they cannot escape such a fate.
Fortunately, it went through a round of charge. Yuji Kawabe has already tested the defensive strength of Okazaki Castle and has responded to it.
"Yuji-sama, we are now attacking this side of Okazaki Castle with all our might, but there are still three gates where we have not sent troops. Will this allow the defenders of Okazaki Castle to take advantage of it and cause us a lot of trouble? ”
At this time, Tokugawa Kayo came to Yuji Kawabe's side and asked worriedly.
Oh, yes. With the addition of the Second Corps converted by the Kyushu captives, they saw a strength of more than 3,000 men. With such a small number of troops, it is impossible to encircle Okazaki Castle on all sides.
Therefore, they can only gather all their forces. Onslaught in one direction towards Okazaki Castle.
If the forces are too dispersed, it will be very dangerous.
"Probably not, the enemy has no morale now, so I don't think they should have the courage to take the initiative to fight us in the field. Judging from the other party's reaction now, they should want to defend Okazaki Castle to the death and fight a delaying war with us. Because we are not from Kyushu, there is no way to get supplies in Kyushu. If we get caught up in a long campaign, it won't do us any good. ”
As for Fujita's thoughts on the second year of high school, the chubby Yuji Kawabe basically knows everything.
Although he listened to Yuji Kawabe's words, Tokugawa Kayo still had some worries in this regard, after all, everything is possible.
Yuji Kawabe looked at Tokugawa Kayo frowning with a very worried look, and continued: "Okay, since you are worried about this, Miss, then let's pay more attention." In fact, for myself, I still hope that the other party can go out of the city to fight, after all, with our strength, the field battle can completely eliminate more of the opponent's vitality, and if the loss is too great, then they will not be able to have enough troops to defend Okazaki City. ”
Yuji Kawabe was telling the truth, in fact, he really hoped that the people of Okazaki Castle would be able to come out and fight them in a field battle instead of defending the city.
After all, if you fight in the field, you have a great advantage.
This is something that the army inside Okazaki Castle does not have.
Not to mention that they only have a mere strength of more than 13,000 people, even 20,000 people are not much of a threat.
The two thousand imperial army sent by Zhao Hongyu can definitely deal with it, and Yuji Kawabe has great confidence in this.
"Miss, don't forget, with less than 10,000 troops, we defeated the Kyushu Coalition Army with 150,000 troops at Maitreya. Therefore, our 3,000 men and horses are more than enough for more than 10,000 enemies in Okazaki Castle. ”
Yuji Kawabe mentions the Battle of Maitreyahara, which makes Tokugawa Kayo wake up all at once.
Yes, Yuji Riverside, the fat man, is right.
Maitreya has so many enemies that we can defeat. There are more than 10,000 people in Okazaki City, so what do I have to worry about, it's completely unnecessary.
So, after listening to Yuji Kawabe's analysis, the Tokugawa family nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that I really don't have to worry about the enemies in Okazaki Castle." It's like you said, if they can go out of the city to fight. On the contrary, it will be of great benefit to us. ”
Yuji Kawabe smiled slightly, then turned his head and continued to stare in the direction of Okazaki Castle.
After the third round of shelling, the head of Okazaki Castle was in mourning.
Under the power of the flowering shells, the defenders defending the head of Okazaki Castle suffered heavy losses.
This time, they really understood what it means to be fleshy and bloody.
It's all beyond their imagination.
Under the power of a hot weapon, the flesh seems so fragile, no matter how brave you once were, but under the attack of this weapon, there is no room to play at all.
When the shelling stopped, the defenders at the head of the city were wiped out by two-thirds of their numbers. And there are very few people who can stand. The remaining third were also injured to varying degrees, or they stood there stupidly and looked like they had collapsed.
And the gates of Okazaki Castle, in the third shelling, have collapsed.
After only three shellings, the gate on this side had already been knocked down.
In fact, this is also normal, artillery is still very powerful in this era.
"Ready, the Second Corps will attack!"
What Yoshiyo Tokugawa had feared did not materialize, and at the same time, the gates of Okazaki Castle were gone.
The current Okazaki Castle is waiting for its owner to enter.
After the 2nd Corps received the order. He began to roar and rushed in the direction of the gate of Okazaki Castle.
"Storm Okazaki Castle and plunder the army for a day! The order given by the crown prince, everyone rushed! ”
What made the soldiers even more excited was the voice shouted behind Yuji Riverside, which immediately lifted everyone's spirits.
Woohoo!
Take Okazaki Castle. Loot for a day!
Okazaki Castle, as the capital of the Miyazaki Domain, was relatively wealthy.
It's not as good as a city like Nagasaki, but it's not that bad.
If you can grab a day in Okazaki City, God knows how much wealth you can get.
Serving as a soldier outside. Isn't that what he has abandoned for now?
Now that the crown prince has an order, what is there to hesitate about.
Kill into Okazaki Castle and grab money, food, and girls.
Under the onslaught of such thoughts. The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army were all excited.
There are many retainers' mansions of the Fujita family in Okazaki Castle, and their families have a lot of wealth and treasures.
And the families of these retainers are also in Okazaki Castle, and if you are lucky, you can even grab the lady of the high-ranking wealthy family, then it will be beautiful.
You have to know that in normal times, women like this just think about it when they dream. But now there is such an opportunity in front of them, so how can these dicks not be excited.
Of course, if they want to loot wealth and women, they first need to deal with the defenders of Okazaki Castle.
Otherwise, it's all empty talk.
After all, people don't just stand there stupidly and let you grab it.
In that case, what else is there to consider, kill! Kill! Kill! That's it.
Kill all the enemies who stand in your way, and then rob their women and money.
The soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, whose brains were filled with women and money, doubled their combat effectiveness out of thin air.
Tokugawa Kayo, who felt the morale was high, was really speechless about this.
"Is this good? Will it have a great influence on our future rule of Miyazaki? Kayo Tokugawa frowned and whispered to Hattori Hidezo.
Hattori Kizo shook his head: "No, miss, Yuji Kawabe's approach is very right." What we want now is to conquer Okazaki Castle and then take control of the Miyazaki territory, and everything else is secondary. As long as we can defeat the eleven and thirteen daimyo of Kyushu with the help of the crown prince, then these commoners can only accept their fate. What we need to do now is to show everyone the posture of a strong man, so that they can realize that it is not wise to offend us, and at the same time set up a fierce sign of the Tokugawa family.
