Chapter 1115: Chu Wu, Break the Cauldron and Sink the Boat!
"The army of the Celestial Empire has attacked again!"
A Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family hurriedly climbed up the stone barrier and looked at the sea, and sure enough, the dense Xia army attacked the Yuankou fortification, as far as the eye could see, and it was more terrifying than the waves on the sea.
On the warship of the Xia army, the war drums were beating, the bull horn was echoing on the sea, and the dragon flag was hunting!
Thousands of small warships carried tens of thousands of soldiers, as the first legions to attack the Yuankou fortifications.
The king of Goryeo, Lee Sung-gye, threw off his cloak and led the Goryeo army to attack, and the warship rode the wind and waves!
Li Chenggui has been serving Emperor Xia for six or seven years, and it is precisely because of his service that Li Chenggui knows how terrifying the Great Xia Dynasty is.
The Xia army, which was used to attack the four islands of Dongying, was only a partial division.
The Great Xia Dynasty had at least a dozen large armies, and only three or four large armies were used to attack the four islands of Dongying.
Breaking through the Yuankou fortification, basically half of Kyushu Island was captured, which was a huge battle achievement, and Li Chenggui thought that it was necessary for him to win this battle achievement.
Small warships took advantage of the high tide and washed up on the beach, and groups of Goryeo soldiers armed with shields braved the rain of arrows and falling rocks from the Yuankou fort to storm the Yuanko fort!
Arrows rained down, and a Goryeo national warrior was shot with a bed crossbow, and the thick crossbow arrows directly tore half of his body apart!
"Heap up a mountain of corpses!"
Li Sung-gui used cruel means to pile up the corpses of the dead Goryeo soldiers since the Seven-Day War, and the Goryeo soldiers directly stepped on the corpses to attack the stone defense line!
The great battle, which has lasted for several days, has reached such a terrible point!
The fierce Satsuma samurai stood on the stone ramparts, and when the soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom climbed up, they were quickly beheaded by the Satsuma samurai!
The three brothers Shimazu Yoshihisa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Shimazu Toihisa joined forces.
They couldn't use "Fishing Wild Ambush" in positional warfare, so they could only use the most primitive hand-to-hand combat to kill the Goryeo soldiers who landed in the city and behead them!
Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihisa are good at strategy, while Shimazu Yoshihiro is a fierce general like the fourth brother, carrying a katana, and killing a Goryeo military general and sixty Goryeo soldiers on the stone barrier, so that the morale of the Goryeo soldiers will decline.
Despite this, the Goryeo soldiers, driven by the great king Li Chenggui, continued to attack the defense line of the Shimazu family, like a black wave, continuing to hit the stone barrier.
The samurai and ashigaru of Ryuzoji Temple were also attacked by Goryeo soldiers, and the famous Goryeo general Jiang Handzan led the archers to shoot under the stone barrier, and a rain of arrows fell, and the arrow towers and wooden fences of the Yuankou defense fortress were full of arrows, like hedgehogs.
The Goryeo legion had a large number of longbowmen in an attempt to suppress the defenders.
Le Yi boosted morale and once again attacked the defense lines of the Maori family, the Otomo family, and the Tachibana family.
Five thousand Yanjia held shields in front, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun led the fire arrow team to salvo the wooden fence and wooden arrow tower of the stone fortress, the fire rain came, the high amount of fire injuries ignited the wooden fence and the wooden arrow tower, and the black smoke billowed out!
"How could it be ......!"
The elders of the Mori family, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, the Tachibana Michiyuki of the Tachibana family, and the Otomo Sorin of the Otomo family, found that the fire arrow team personally commanded by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun had high fire injuries, which caused many wooden fortifications of the Yuankou fortifications to be burned down, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
If Tachibana Michiyuki is called the god of thunder, then Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are veritable gods of fire!
This time, Le Yi, Geng Yi, Bang Dun and other Liaodong Army generals attacked with all their might!
Lu Meng and Chen Lan served as reserves, while Zhou Yu and Lu Xun rolled up their sleeves and went into battle in person.
"Kill!"
The daimyo of Kyushu Island have received news that Oda Nobunaga and other daimyos of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island have gathered troops at nearby Iwaya Castle.
The teleportation array has a daily cap, so Oda Nobunaga has been gathering forces these days.
The more important the reinforcements are coming, the more dangerous it is.
The Xia army has lost the patience to probe, and the eighth offensive is huge, and there is a great momentum that will not retreat if it does not take the Yuankou defensive base!
The two sides fought in the Yuankou fortification, and Le Yi's decision was as cruel as Li Chenggui's, using the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle as a mountain to storm the stone fortress!
One will be a success!
Because of the existence of the corpse mountain, the difficulty of attacking the stone fortress has decreased!
Tachibana Michiyuki pulled out the famous sword "Rachel", and with the thunder light, he killed a Wuhuan cavalryman!
King Wuhuan holds the ring head sword and slashes a samurai of the Tachibana family!
"Let's fight!"
Bundun belongs to the establishment of the Liaodong Army, and among the soldiers and horses attacking the Yuankou fortifications, there are also Wuhuan cavalry, especially the high-level Wuhuan cavalry of the three counties - "the world's famous cavalry".
Bunton climbed the stone barrier and found that the head of the Tachibana family, Tachibana Michiyuki.
Tachibana Michiyuki's famous knife "Rachel" has its own thunder light, so it is not difficult to find the location.
With a dozen Wuhuan cavalry, he attacked Tachibana Michiyuki.
The ring head sword was wielded, and all the Tachibana samurai along the way were slaughtered by the Bunton and Wuhuan cavalry!
The presence of Wuhuan King Bun Dun is not high, and as soon as he became famous in history, he was beheaded by Zhang Liao in the White Wolf Mountain, but Bun Dun still has more than 80 forces, and it is easy to kill ordinary Tachibana samurai!
Tachibana Michiyuki could see a somewhat rugged-looking general, and a dozen Wuhuan cavalry were killing him.
"Protect the lord!"
"Not necessarily!"
Tachibana Michiyuki dragged the famous knife "Rachel" with one hand and met the Ton!
The best of two meet!
The ring-headed knife hit the Taidao, the thunder of the Taidao flashed, and the tiger's mouth holding the ring-headed knife was paralyzed by the thunder, and the movement was slow!
Tachibana Michiyuki's second stab came, and Tonton barely avoided it.
Thunder left a scratch on Ton's breastplate!
"What kind of strange knife is this!"
Tonden thinks that Tachibana Michiyuki's strength will not be much higher than his own, however, Tachibana Michiyuki's sword is a divine weapon, with lightning damage.
"Kill him!"
More than a dozen Wuhuan cavalry joined forces to attack, and in a flash, several Wuhuan cavalry were killed, and two spears were cut off!
Bandun gritted his teeth, some generals have famous swords and horses, and they can even fight across the force.
"Brothers, give it to me!"
Bunton was no match for Tachibana Michiyuki, who had a famous sword, so he ordered the Wuhuan cavalry to come forward and besiege Tachibana Michiyuki.
The combat power of the Wuhuan cavalry is not low, and dozens of Wuhuan cavalry attack the enemy general.
Boom!
The powerful impact made his body stagger, and he looked in horror at the bloody hole in his chest, and the whole person fell from the stone barrier, and smashed on the corpse under the stone barrier.
"Father, expel the enemy troops who climbed the stone barrier as soon as possible and burn the corpse mountain, otherwise the stone barrier will be lost sooner or later!"
A young girl put away her arquebus, her hair tied behind her with a headband, revealing a smooth forehead.
Beside her, there was also a team of iron cannons made up of women.
"I didn't expect the sword to be as good as the iron cannon......"
Tachibana Michiyuki couldn't help but sigh when she saw her daughter using an arquebus to win over one of the other party's generals.
The samurai poured oil and torches, burned the mountain of corpses, and tried to cut off the stairs of the Xia army to climb the city.
The fierceness of the battle of the Yuankou defense line reached its peak, and there were even Xia troops who braved the fire, climbed the stone barriers, and fought with the samurai and ashigaru!
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun combined with the god of fire to personally supervise the battle, and the fire not only spread under the stone barrier, but also above the stone barrier, and even in the rear, and the fire was more ferocious by the wind.
The battle lasted several hours, and the casualties on both sides were already in the tens of thousands.
The tide began to recede, however, Le Yi, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and others had no intention of retreating, but Chen Ling took the Lingnan Naval Division equipped with firearms ashore and joined the sequence of attacking the Yuankou defense line.
"When the tide recedes, the Xia army will storm land from the shallows of Shikashima."
Gaoqiao Shaoyun and Gaoqiao Tonghu father and son, led 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and blocked the narrow shallow exit.
In the seven-day battle, the Xia army would fight for the shoals every time the tide was low, and the eighth day was no exception.
Takahashi and his son and the old Ono Town of the Tachibana family were fortunate to hold this place, and constantly sent troops to confront the Xia army, making it difficult for the main force of the Xia army to cross the shoal.
Once the tide rises, the Xia army left in the shallows will be flooded by the sea, so the Xia army cannot stay for a long time, and the terrain is extremely favorable to the defender.
"With my Gaoqiao Tonghu here, this place will become an insurmountable moat for the Xia army."
Takahashi Tonghu immediately slashed into the team, and the Shadow Flow long knife slashed into the team standing behind him, and the sharp long knife pointed straight ahead.
The Xia army really proceeded and attacked the shoals.
Takahashi and his son were already confident, as long as they had the advantage of the terrain, then no matter how many Xia troops came, it would be impossible to break through their defense line before the high tide.
From low tide to high tide, only a few hours in between, Xia Jun had to break through the narrow defense line in a few hours, which was extremely difficult.
Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou led the cavalry to attack from Shika Island and attack along the shoals!
The two of them broke out into a big battle with the Ashigaru pikemen team led by Takahashi Shaoyun and Takahashi Tonghu, and the Shadow Stream Slash Team, and every time they took a step forward, a platoon of cavalry fell!
The Ashigaru pikemen blocked the cavalry advance with a dense phalanx of pikes, and the samurai archers behind fired a salvo to harvest the cavalry stuck in the shallows!
"Enemy general, dare to fight alone?!"
Takahashi Tonghu took the initiative to call Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou for battle.
However, Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou ignored Takahashi's call for battle, but attacked with all their might, consuming the enemy's physical strength and morale as much as possible.
The real hole card is the more than 10,000 elites of Commander Chu Wu.
Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou were also familiar with the terrain and attacked Takahashi's father and son, causing a lot of damage to the other party!
The battle for Shikashima was as fierce as the battle for the Motoko fortifications head-on, with an astonishing casualty ratio.
The battle lasted four or five hours, and thousands of soldiers fell on the shallows.
The sea began to rise, and Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou chose to withdraw their troops according to the prediction of Takahashi's father and son.
If the troops are not withdrawn in time, the troops left on the shoals will be completely annihilated.
At this time, it was also the time when Takahashi and his son were the most relaxed.
In the past seven days, whenever the tide was high, the Xia army had no surprise and chose to withdraw its troops, and this time was no exception.
Suddenly, after Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou retreated, the more than 10,000 elite soldiers gathered on Shiga Island began to rush towards the land in the last half hour when the waves were about to flood the shallows!
Chu Wu personally led the team, using the effect of the SSS-level characteristic "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat", and the morale of more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command was instantly full value, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the attack power was +40%, and the effect lasted for three days!
The premise of triggering "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat" is to be in a desperate situation!
