Chapter 920: The Great Battle of Oda Nobunaga! (Addendum 10/100)
150,000 Han troops and 60,000 Tsarist Russian troops gathered under the city, a large number of trebuchets and bed crossbows roared, and stones and crossbow arrows were thrown, destroying arrow towers and city walls!
Chu Tian could directly make a Xiangyang cannon, projecting hundreds of catties of boulders and fireballs, and the cracking fireballs caused the broken flames to spread on the city wall, and wolf smoke was everywhere!
Siege weapons such as chariots, siege towers, and ladder carts were pushed up by ancient Indian soldiers to storm the city of Dongying!
During the replenishment of troops and horses, Chu Tian imagined that there might be a tragic siege battle, so he made a large number of siege equipment built.
The Hongyi cannon has not yet been used, and the number of solid bullets is limited, so it must be used sparingly.
The power of the Xiangyang cannon is enough to shake most city walls.
The first group to be sent to attack the city were 10,000 ancient Indian infantry and archers, which was one of the additional rewards that Chu Tian received after defeating the Moon Protector.
No one in Chu Tian's subordinates was suitable to command the ancient Indian infantry, so Chu Tian simply used this ancient Indian infantry as cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of the defenders.
Ancient Indian infantry, wrapped in turbans and barely in decent armor, carried rudimentary ladders and braved a dense rain of arrows to set up ladders to open the way to the city walls for the Han army behind.
At the same time, the ancient Indian infantry filled in the trenches and moats, pushing huge siege towers to close in on the city walls!
Rumble!
A fireball landed on the city wall and burst around Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the fierce general Honda Tadakatsu held a dragonfly and cut it for Tokugawa Ieyasu to block the flying rubble: "Lord, the city is in danger and retreat quickly!" ”
"The military strength of the Han army is so strong."
Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but be terrified when he saw dozens of Xiangyang cannons and hundreds of bed crossbows bombarding a city in a concentrated manner.
After Chutian obtained the Xiangyang cannon of the Mongol Empire, he often used it to siege cities, and the supply was more convenient than the Hongyi cannon.
As soon as the Han army came up, they used a large number of Xiangyang cannons and bed crossbows, and hundreds of Dongying samurai and ashigaru archers were killed, and the defenders on the city walls fell to pieces.
Even Honda Tadakatsu, who had a relatively high level of force in Dongying, did not dare to take the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang cannon.
When the Dongying army was on the defensive, 10,000 ancient Indian infantry had already carried a ladder to approach the city wall, the iron artillery team and ashigaru archers shot the ancient Indian infantry, and a team of ancient Indian soldiers lacking armor were shot, and the ladder fell to the ground, horizontal and vertical, but there was still a cloud ladder hooked to the edge of the city wall, and the ancient Indian infantry held wooden shields, climbed the city wall, and fought with the warriors on the city wall!
Stones and oil rolled down from the city, and ancient Indian infantry were constantly smashed and rolled down from mid-air.
Chu Tian took a group of generals to watch the battle under the city, and Chu Tian didn't care about the consumption of 10,000 ancient Indian soldiers.
The meaning of the existence of these troops is cannon fodder, consuming the arrows and lead bullets of the Dongying Army.
"Wei Wushu is preparing to attack the city."
Wu Qi sent 10,000 Wei soldiers and 20,000 low-level infantry as the second batch of siege troops, and built Yan crossbowmen and Shenji battalions to cover.
Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo and military generals experienced the most tragic battle since the Dongying Civil War, 210,000 Han troops, Tsarist Russian army, 150,000 Dongying troops besieged in a city, dense siege equipment bombarded the city wall, Jianyan crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows, and there was almost no foothold on the city wall!
The warriors of Dongying were fierce and aggressive, but they were not so easily breached, and groups of samurai came to the city wall to try to counter-suppress the besieging troops, using strong crossbows to shoot at the besieging Han army.
The bed crossbow erected on the city wall made a sharp whistling sound, shooting two Wei Wu pawns, and the crossbow arrows sank into the ground and were stained with blood!
"Use the Iron Artillery Team!"
Oda Nobunaga ordered the iron artillery team to enter the city, and the iron artillery team formed three platoons and took turns shooting at the enemy troops below!
The rain of arrows covered the battlefield, the white smoke filled the air, and the sharp katana slashed the siege soldiers who landed on the city, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth!
The generals and samurai of Toei, who were in reserve in the castle, were terrified.
Even if they had a strong city to hold onto, it would be a terrible battle.
Oda Nobunaga arranged for six legions to take turns defending the walls of the Han army's main attack in order to have enough time to recover morale and physical strength.
The large trebuchets brought by the Han army had a great impact on the morale of the defenders, and if the battle continued, the defenders of Dongying might collapse due to the decline in morale.
The first to defend the city was Oda Nobunaga's own legion, and the iron artillery team used arquebuses to forcibly suppress the opponent's momentum, but it also meant that Oda Nobunaga's iron artillery team was baptized by trebuchets, bed crossbows, and arrow rain, and continued to lose.
The corners of Oda Nobunaga's eyes twitched.
Fortunately, this time the national war can be resurrected, otherwise the loss of the precious iron artillery team will be painful for Oda Nobunaga.
"The Oda family's iron artillery team is almost alone in the world."
Uesugi Kenshin is good at cavalry and infantry, but not good at iron artillery.
"With the Iron Artillery Team mobilized so quickly, it seems that Oda Nobunaga also knows that the pressure he is facing this time is unprecedented."
Takeda Tadayoshi knew that Oda Nobunaga had spared no expense to build a sizable iron artillery team, and he directly sent Oda iron artillery team to the beginning of the defense of the city.
The Satsuma samurai and iron artillery of the Shimazu Legion prepared for battle in the castle, preparing to take over the Oda Legion to defend the castle after the Oda Legion was exhausted. Night Night Chinese
Although the population of the Shimazu family is small, the proportion of samurai born is high.
The samurai belong to the elite class of the Toei civilization.
The boulders thrown by the Xiangyang cannon continued to bombard the city walls, the Satsuma samurai were wiping the katana, and the palm of Shimazu Iehisa, the commander of the Shimazu Army, was sweating from the palm of the katana.
When the Oda army retreated, it was the Satsuma samurai and the Shimazu iron artillery team that went into battle.
This is still under the premise of defending the city, and it is so difficult. If you fight in the field, you can only rely on the iron artillery of the Oda family and the Shimazu family, the cavalry of the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, and the samurai of Satsuma.
The attacks of the Han army continued, and Catherine also sent soldiers to attack the city.
The two armies were caught in a battle of flesh, in which five Hongyi cannons were ordered to bombard the city wall, accompanied by a loud bang, five solid bullets hit a stone arrow tower, and a samurai was hit by solid bullets, and the flesh and blood were blurred!
The Hongyi cannon only symbolically bombarded the city and undermined the morale of the defenders of Dongying.
"One of the characteristics of the Dongying civilization is the iron artillery team that was rampant during the Warring States Period, if you can get the iron artillery team of Dongying and expand the Shenji Battalion, then ......"
Chu Tian began to covet Dongying's iron artillery troops.
Chutian's forces can produce arquebuses, but they lack troops, and only the Shenji Battalion can be equipped with arquebuses at present.
Although the land of Dongying is not large, it is exactly in the Warring States period of Dongying, which is equivalent to the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the iron artillery team is more common, and what Chutian needs is a firearm that can be equipped with arquebuses.
In the future, if you want to try to plunder Dongying's iron artillery team, it will be best if you get a similar talisman.
The iron artillery team is more powerful when defending the city, but the disadvantage is that in "Lord", the production speed of black powder is not fast, and if it consumes too much, it may not be able to defend the city.
Chutian sent the Divine Machine Battalion, coupled with the Wei Wushu who built Yan crossbowmen and was equipped with the Divine Arm Bow, to forcibly suppress the Iron Artillery Team, so that the foot soldiers could take advantage of it.
The fierce fighting between the two sides lasted for three days and three nights, and the price paid was tens of thousands.
There was already a contradiction between the Han Empire and Dongying, so when there was a big fight, both sides lost their tempers.
Oda Nobunaga's 3,000 iron artillery team lost more than 1,500 people, and as for the samurai and ashigaru, they were all over the field.
Corpses, armor, shields, and stones were piled up beneath the city, and black smoke filled the city.
In three days, the Han trebuchets threw at least 1,000 boulders at the city, killing more than 1,000 defenders and 1,000 wounded by fireballs or rubble.
Dozens of arrow towers in the city were either destroyed or severely damaged, and the archers could not gain a foothold.
"The Oda family lost 15,400 people, the Shimazu family 7,200, the Takeda family 6,500, the Mori family 7,000, the Uesugi family 7,100, and the Tokugawa family 6,700. In three days, a total of 50,000 people were killed. ”
The military division Takenaka Hanbei counted the casualties, and the Han army continued to attack the city with a high intensity for three days, inflicting heavy losses on the six daimyo legions.
The Dongying army had 150,000 men, and lost one-third of its strength at once.
If it weren't for the resurrection, perhaps the Dongying Army was on the verge of collapse.
"Haven't the Romans come yet?"
Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to defeat Chutian with his own strength, but now it seems that just the defense of the city, the Dongying army has been extremely difficult, and in the field battle, it may have been defeated by the Han army.
The Han army's Hongyi artillery fired thirty solid bullets into the city, destroying a wooden house, and several unlucky warriors were hit by solid bullets that crossed the city wall, and died instantly, causing panic in the city.
Therefore, whether it is Oda Nobunaga, or Takeda Tadayoshi and others, they all hope that the Romans can come to relieve the siege for themselves.
Otherwise, sooner or later, the city will fall.
"Oda Nobunaga may have the traits 'Sandanska' and 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King', while the Shimazu family may have the trait 'Noyuambush', as well as the Takeda family's 'Wind Forest Volcano', and the Uesugi family's 'Echigo no Dragon'......"
When Chu Tian was attacking the city, he could already roughly guess the abilities of some famous characters.
There are some characteristics that may be similar, such as Oda Nobunaga's characteristic "Sandanzu", which is actually cool in summer......
As for the Takeda family's "Wind Forest Volcano", the soldier saint Sun Wu may also have it.
With its strong city, iron artillery team, and samurai defenders, the Dongying army was more tenacious than Chu Tian imagined.
"My lord, the Iron Eagle Scouts have discovered the army of the Roman Empire!"
On the fourth day of the siege, as Chutian estimated, the two emperors of the Roman Empire finally chose to support Oda Nobunaga in order to contain the increasingly powerful Chutian.
The emperors and kings of the West had realized the threat posed by Chutian.
More far-sighted, Alexander regarded Chutian as his strongest enemy, while Hohenzollern devoted himself to forming an army of kingdoms on the Western Continent, wanting to become the lord of Europe like Charlemagne.
"It's been a long time since I've fought Rome, and the two eagle flags of the Roman legions are still being honored, I heard that Rome exchanged for more eagle flags in the last national war, and now there should be 31 Roman legions?"
Chu Tian thought of the Roman Eagle Banner placed in the warehouse of the Xia Wang's Mansion, and Chu Tian really didn't care much.
