Chapter 1117: Breaking the Yuankou Defense!
"Enemy Rider...... No solution! ”
Tachibana Michiyuki was attacked by the wild boars of Shahbalez, and the army formation was destroyed by the Persian Savaran heavy cavalry.
Oda Nobunaga's admonition to the daimyo was to avoid fighting the Xia army on flat terrain.
When 5,000 Savaran heavy cavalry can launch a pig assault on land, the victory is divided.
The Tachibana family has a shadow stream long knife to cut into the team, which has a certain threat to the cavalry.
However, the Savaran Heavy Cavalry is blessed with the "Broken Cauldron and Shipwreck" and other perks, and its attack power is amazing, and it slashes through the Shadow Stream Knife and enters the team!
For the first time, Chu Wu used the "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat" trait, and quickly realized the terrifying ability that had allowed Chu Tian to avoid his edge in the Battle of the Giant Deer.
It is not for nothing that "breaking the kettle" and "fighting against the water" are known as the strongest adversity characteristics.
At this time, Chu Wu was born after death, defeated Takahashi Shaoyun and Takahashi Tonghu in World War I, and defeated Tachibana Daoxue in World War II!
The Savaran heavy cavalry scattered the Tachibana army.
Tachibana Michiyuki waved the famous sword "Rachel", and the thunder light wandered away, slashing more than a dozen Savaran heavy cavalry, and the iron armor of the Savaran heavy cavalry rebounded the impact, making Tachibana Michiyuki very uncomfortable.
The Savaran heavy cavalry that came from the impact stabbed out their cavalry spears and stabbed them from top to bottom, stabbing at Tachibana Michiyuki!
Tachibana Michiyuki did her best to resist under the cover of the Shadow Stream Long Knife Slashing into the team.
As soon as he rode over, the royal boar shrouded in iron armor was replaced with a mace and smashed down with a hammer, almost killing Tachibana Michiyuki in seconds!
Tachibana Michiyuki held down the knife with both hands and barely blocked the mace!
If it weren't for a special weapon, maybe this knife would have broken instantly because it couldn't withstand the huge force!
Tachibana Michiyuki could not withstand the attack of the mace and knocked down the samurai behind him.
"You are me, the captive of the boar Shah Balez!"
Judging from the weapons used by Tachibana Michiyuki, the wild boar Shah Balez decided that Tachibana Michiyuki was an important figure on Kyushu Island, so he decided to capture the big man.
The Savaran heavy cavalry roared in, and hundreds of Savaran heavy cavalry and the royal boar Shah Balez besieged dozens of Tachibana samurai, including Tachibana Michiyuki.
The samurai of the Tachibana clan looked up in despair at this group of heavy cavalry equipped with iron armor, once besieged by these iron armored cavalry, their group of infantry could not get out at all.
The royal wild boar with dozens of pounds of mace in his hand, the force is still above the snow of Tachibana Road.
"Poof!!"
The old man of the Tachibana family, Ono Zhenxing, was pulled away by Lu Lingqi with a Fang Tian painting halberd, and vomited blood.
Lu Lingqi's force is amazing, Fang Tian's halberd is a long weapon, and he waved it in Lu Lingqi's hands, Ono Zhenxing's katana was directly smashed by Fang Tian's halberd, and Ono Zhenxing was seriously injured, and was captured by Lu Lingqi's subordinates after landing!
"Drive!"
Chu Wu rode his horse and led the Black Cloud Long Sword Army to arrive.
When the Black Cloud Sword Army was robbing the beach, it was the main force, and when more than 10,000 elite soldiers came ashore, the Savaran heavy cavalry behind became the vanguard and drove straight in.
"No matter who you are, now you are defeated like a mountain, surrender and do not kill."
Chu Wu was condescending and arrogantly demanded that Tachibana Michiyuki surrender.
Killing and capturing enemy troops, as well as destroying the country, are all war feats for him as the crown prince.
"The soldiers are not weak, if not, it will be the responsibility of the general. I admit defeat, but I, like Takahashi Shaoyun, will never betray the main family no matter what. ”
Tachibana Michiyuki draws his sword and wants to kill himself.
"If you want to exterminate the race, then kill yourself."
Chu Wu gradually grew up, always remembering the advice of the queen mother, using his mind is the best policy, and only the generals who rush to the forefront will solve the problem purely by force.
Chu Wu's threat put Tachibana Michiyuki in a dilemma, and all the samurai of the Tachibana family looked at Tachibana Michiyuki, and their lives were just a thought of Tachibana Michiyuki.
Tachibana Michiyuki thought of his snow-like daughter, and finally chose to put down the sword, looking depressed.
The Shikashima defense line was lost, and a group of Xia army elites came ashore, which was a fatal blow to the Motoko defense, and he Tachibana Michiyuki could not save the crisis.
"You tie it up, and this sword will be my trophy for the time being."
Chu Wu captured Tachibana Michiyuki's weapon as a commemoration of the first official conquest.
"Keep rushing!"
The Tachibana family and the Takahashi family both belonged to the retainers of the Otomo family, and Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shaoyun were known as the "Otomo Double Wall".
Tachibana Michiyuki was captured, Takahashi Shoyun was killed, and the Otomo family was severely damaged.
Also hoarding heavy troops at the Yuankou fort are the Maori family, the Shimazu family, and the Ryuzoji family.
The warriors of the Maori family were not weak, and the Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family were the most fierce, suppressing Li Sunggui of the Goryeo kingdom to the death.
Lee Sung-gye of Goryeo was pressed by the Shimazu brothers against the Wonko fortification, and was never able to break through the defense line of the Satsuma samurai.
As the fiercest samurai on Kyushu Island, and even in the whole of Toying, the Satsuma samurai suppressed Lee Sung-gye's Goryeo army, making Lee Sung-gye bitter.
"Brother, Hirado City has been occupied by the Xia army, and the other party is too numerous to take the city!"
The Shimazu family, who had returned from the defeat of Hirado Castle, was drenched in blood, but he still escaped from Xu Sheng's pursuit and gathered with the other three Shimazu brothers.
The four Shimazu brothers were famous heroes of the Toei Warring States, and at the end of the Toei Warring States period, they swept Kyushu Island and launched the "Kyushu Campaign" with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who dominated Honshu Island, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized 200,000 troops to crusade against Kyushu Island before forcing the Shimazu family to surrender.
The four Shimazu brothers were undoubtedly the most ferocious legion in the Yuankou defense base this time, which made Li Chenggui almost collapse.
Shimazu Iehisa defeated the Roman star Varus with a single hand of "Fishing Wild Fu", and then Xu Sheng cut off his retreat, which led to the defeat of Shimazu Iehisa.
However, the four Shimazu brothers and the Satsuma samurai were brave and aggressive, and with the disadvantage of troops, they could not change the overall situation.
Otomo Shuangbi was suppressed, Otomo Sorin's inability to restrain the samurai of the Otomo family, and the samurai group of the Mori family was also panicked.
Chuwu's elite soldiers came and fought against the Maori family's Daimyo such as Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei.
The Maori family suffered from the enemy on their backs, and Geng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, boarded the stone barrier and cooperated with Chu Wu.
The warriors of the Maori clan formed a formation to stop Chu Wu's assault and wanted to expel the Youzhou Tucha who had climbed the stone barrier.
The daimyo of Kyushu Island knew that they could not lose the Yuankou fortification, otherwise the Xia army's millions of soldiers would go ashore, and the entire Kyushu Island might be suppressed.
The daimyo of Kyushu did everything they could to fight back.
The fierce battle lasted for several hours, from day to night, and the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and tens of thousands of people were killed.
More and more Xia troops climbed the stone barriers, and one-third of the stone fortresses were already controlled by the Xia army.
"Brother, the Yuankou defense base is no longer defensible, it is better to retreat to Iwaya City, and there is still a chance to win!"
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Kobayakawa Takakei asked Yoshikawa Motoharu to retreat.
Chu Wu had already circled to the rear of the strong Yuankou fortifications, and the morale of the warriors who fought with Chu Wu had dropped, and they were basically crushed with a single blow.
Yoshikawa Motoharu is also a character, and after discovering that the situation was irreparable as Kobayakawa Takakei said, his eyes were fierce: "Reserve your strength and retreat to Iwaya Castle!" ”
The Mori Governor, Mori Terumoto, was already panicking, and under the command of the two elders, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei, the Mori Samurai Regiment was divided into two routes, one under the leadership of Kobayakawa Takakei, and the other under the leadership of Yoshikawa Motoharu to retreat.
"The whereabouts of the lord are unknown, and the Maori family has retreated. Chiyoden, let's return to Tachibanayama Castle! ”
The remnants of the Tachibana family, after the disappearance of Tachibana Michiyuki, the remaining family elders were appointed as the governor of Tachibana Chiyo and asked to return to Tachibana Mountain Castle.
"Retreat ......!"
Tachibana Chiyo had no choice, the elite of the Tachibana family had been depleted, and even her Tachibana early attack on the female iron artillery team had lost more than half of it in the continuous fierce battle.
The Mori family retreated to Iwaya Castle to the southeast, while the Tachibana family chose to retreat closer to Tachibanayayama Castle.
"The Mori, Tachibana, and Otomo families have been evacuated, and we can't fight alone."
Although the four Shimazu brothers and the Satsuma samurai were fierce, it was impossible for the people of Shimazu to save an entire Motoko defense with their own troops.
The current Yuankou defense base is full of flaws and holes.
"Withdraw to Iwaya City, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses there, as long as the enemy comes to chase after them, you can completely use the 'Fishing Wild Ambush'!"
Yoshihisa Shimazu is counting on using the Shimazu family's stunt "Fishing Nobush" to fight back.
"Fishing in the Wild" has a certain taunting effect, and in the face of a legion that does not have the characteristics of "governing the army", it has a miraculous effect and has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Of course, when encountering generals such as Zhou Yafu and Wu Qi with the characteristics of "governing the army", it is basically useless to "fish in the wild".
The Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family began to retreat.
Ryuzoji Clan's Governor Ryuzoji Takanobu, with the Four Heavenly Kings of Ryuzoji Temple, also retreated to Iwaya Castle.
Iwaya Castle and Tachibanayama Castle are the two closest castles to Hakata Bay, and the area around Iwaya Castle was once Dazaifu on the island of Kyushu, and Oda Nobunaga was gathering troops at Iwaya Castle.
The castle that only everyone in the Tachibana family considers is their own Tachibana Mountain Castle.
With the retreat of the five road daimyo one after another, the Xia army, which had been fighting for a day and a night, finally broke through the Yuankou fortification and firmly controlled the Yuankou fortification in their hands.
Although the Yuankou fortification can resist the Xia army, once it falls into the hands of the Xia army, the Xia army can completely hold the Yuankou fortification, and then arrange for a steady stream of follow-up soldiers and horses to go ashore.
"All the soldiers and horses participating in the battle immediately rested, and the soldiers and horses who did not participate in the battle were responsible for patrolling. Tomorrow, we will reorganize our troops and prepare to attack Iwaya Castle. ”
Le Yi seized the time to deploy.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a Tachibanayama Castle in the northern part of Hakata Bay, which is the home city of the Tachibana family, and it may threaten our back road at any time, and you are responsible for besieging Tachibanayama Castle."
Le Yi knew that the Japanese army in Iwaya Castle was gathering heavy troops, so he arranged for Chu Wu to go to attack Tachibana Mountain Castle, which had relatively weak troops.
"Command!"
Chu Wu happily took over Le Yi's task.
"Siege for the bottom, attack the heart for the top......"
Chu Wu thought that he seemed to have captured the governor of the Tachibana family, so he asked him to take the captured Tachibana Michiyuki and immediately go to Tachibana Mountain Castle.
Le Yi allocated another 40,000 soldiers and horses to Chu Wu, so that Chu Wu's troops reached 50,000.
Chu Wu arrived at the bottom of Lihua Mountain City overnight and camped to rest.
