June 19 of the fifth year of Gaia, the royal city of Edo.

After a short rest, Han Shin commanded the Northern Route Army to launch a tentative attack on Edo. This fight is a whole day, and all the troops take turns to fight, one is to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and the other is to look for the weak points in the defense of the city wall.

Therefore, although the day was lively, the two sides did not suffer much damage, which was a warm-up.

"The enemy musketeers are not simple."

This is Han Xin's first conclusion. Oda Nobunaga's use of musketeers really made Han Shin feel refreshed and somewhat taught. Needless to say, this is the shortcoming of the Great Xia generals.

Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "Then capture Oda Nobunaga back to Great Xia as the head of the sect." ”

"That's what I mean!" Han Shin laughed.

…………

The next day, Han Xin was really moving.

Especially in the north and east, the most ferocious attacks on Edo were launched at the same time, and all kinds of equipment such as artillery, trebuchets, mobile arrow towers, and mimic aircraft were put on the battlefield by Han Shin.

The moat of Edo was not a big moat in front of the expeditionary force.

Mozi's Gewuyuan has recently developed a new type of siege equipment, the trestle bridge, which can be folded and retracted when not in use and can be pulled away with three carriages.

By spreading this pier during the siege, the army can easily cross the moat.

With this siege weapon, the Great Xia army no longer had to resort to soil methods when attacking the city, and used sand and human lives to fill the river, and the efficiency was increased by more than four or five times.

That's the power of technology.

Influenced by the times, the Mohists are also advancing with the times and bringing forth the new.

The changes in the Mohist family are just a microcosm of the transformation of the hundred schools of thought of the Great Xia princes, and each school is determined to innovate to adapt its doctrine to the development of the new era.

Otherwise, they can only be eliminated.

It is reported that some people in Great Xia have begun to form a new school to challenge the old Zhuzi Hundred Schools, which is a new, interesting, and groundbreaking change.

It means that the academic level of Daxia has risen to a new level.

Another whole day.

Under the onslaught of the Northern Route Army, Edo Castle stood still like a city of steel.

When the sun sets, the ground is red again.

For the soldiers who are accustomed to their military careers, they have long been accustomed to such a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and some soldiers directly pinched two steamed buns and sat on the corpses to devour them, without any scruples.

A veteran is an asset.

Today's siege was not very smooth, and the fortification of Edo was somewhat stronger than imagined, and most of the half a year of preparation for the war was indeed not something that could be broken in a day or two.

At the head of the castle, Keisuke Honda and Oda Nobunaga stood side by side.

Two days passed, and Keisuke Honda couldn't understand the enemy army outside the city, "Are they really crazy?" With his style of acting, he couldn't understand why the other party was so obsessed.

"Stupid to do it when you know you can't do it!"

Oda Nobunaga thought differently, as a general, he only had to think about the battle situation, and said: "My lord, the enemy's attack center of gravity should be on the east side. ”

Keisuke Honda was puzzled, "Looking at today's situation, the intensity of the attack in the north is similar to that in the east, why is the general so decisive that the enemy must focus on attacking the east?" ”

"It's different."

Oda Nobunaga was very confident, "The enemy generals are very cunning, and despite all the arrangements, they still can't hide their true motives. The onslaught from the north was nothing but an illusion. ”

When Keisuke Honda heard this, he didn't dwell on it.

In this specific battle, Keisuke Honda can't stand side by side with Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga asked, "My lord, do you want to mobilize a large army from the east to reinforce the east?" ”

Keisuke Honda thought for a moment and said, "Wait another day, make sure, be careful." He was still a little uneasy.

"Understood!"

…………

The attack of the Northern Route Army on the 21st was as brave as a pity.

Especially in the east, the Flame Army led by Guo Ziyi fought very resolutely, and this meritorious unit that made miraculous achievements on the Dongying battlefield served as the vanguard of the siege this time.

In just twenty days, the Flame Army had lost more than 60,000 casualties, an average of 3,000 per day, which was equivalent to most of the legions being wiped out. Although the phoenix prisoner was distressed, his attitude was still very resolute.

The phoenix's determination was right.

Although the Flame Army suffered heavy casualties, after this tough battle, the entire team has begun to transform. Unlike the Great Xia Army, which often fought big battles, the Flame Army rarely had the opportunity to fight a big battle except on the campaign map.

This kind of tempering is exactly what the Flame Army needs.

Under the repeated onslaught of the Flame Army, the castle defense to the east of Edo Castle was finally challenged. From the beginning of the afternoon, the Flame Army soldiers continued to successfully attack the castle and tear through the Edo defense line.

Although they were repelled one by one, Oda Nobunaga's heart was still tight.

If we don't adjust the army's defenses, once the gap is torn open, there is a real possibility that Edo Castle will be torn apart by the enemy. Seeing this, Keisuke Honda didn't say anything more and agreed to Oda Nobunaga's plan to transfer troops.

In Oda Nobunaga's view, the enemy army adopted the typical Chinese tactic of "encircling three and missing one", and except for the west, the other three sides may be the main direction of attack of the enemy.

After two days of observation, Oda Nobunaga was convinced that the east was the real target of the enemy forces.

That night, the troops stationed west of Edo Castle began to move eastward. At the same time, some troops from the north and south also moved to the east.

Overnight, Oda Nobunaga quietly strengthened his defenses to the east.

Oda Nobunaga was not worried about what tricks the enemy was playing, and they had already known exactly how many troops the North China Route Army had.

Moreover, Dongying is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is impossible for Huaxia to transfer reinforcements in a short time.

Those who can come are already on the battlefield.

If the enemy wants to attack the east and west, it will have to mobilize troops on a large scale, and it will definitely not escape the eyes of Oda Nobunaga. In that case, the mobilization of troops inside the city will definitely be faster than outside the city.

If the enemy really wanted to do that, Oda Nobunaga would only be happy, and that would mean an opportunity to crush the enemy army.

…………

June 22.

Early in the morning, the Huaxia North Route Army began to get busy. The soldiers were woken up from their sleep by the captain, hurriedly ate three steamed buns and a bowl of hot porridge, began to check their weapons and equipment, and assembled at the school grounds.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the army from all sides had already left the barracks and finished its formation in front of the city wall.

As far as the eye can see, there are many swords and guns, the military is prosperous, the bearing is strict, and the murderous spirit is soaring. The sea breeze blows, and the flags are hunting, each representing a legion.

The phoenix of the Flame Army, the flying leopard of the Leopard Tao Army, the fierce tiger of the Tiger Army, the black eagle of the Eagle Yang Army, and the Tang sword and shield of the City Guards, all of them are lifelike and tell a legend.

These are troops with a glorious history.

Mixed in with the military formation, there are also elite regiments. Although their equipment is varied, after more than 20 days of running-in, they are no different from the army, and they advance and retreat in a measured manner.

In particular, the elite regiment of the Super Guild has long been required by the regular army column.

For the guild, such a great battle is also a tempering. The elite regiments that survive on the battlefield will show even more amazing combat effectiveness in future adventures in the underworld.

War destroys lives, but it also trains people.

"Woo~~~~"

The trumpets sounded, followed by the drums of war.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

For the millions of soldiers, another day of fighting began.

The same charge is no different; The only difference is that I don't know how many compatriots will never come back when this charge is about to retreat at night.

When I returned to the tent, I didn't know how many more beds would be vacated.

"See you in the evening!"

The soldiers greeted each other like this, and anyone under the leadership of the battalion did not hesitate to charge.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sounds of killing in all directions came and went.

At the head of the castle, Oda Nobunaga saw that the enemy army was still in the same arrangement as yesterday, and his heart was relieved. With this arrangement, the enemy could not capture Edo Castle.

"One more week is victory." Oda Nobunaga secretly cheered in his heart.

As the commander of the Toei army, Oda Nobunaga was under tremendous pressure, and Oda Nobunaga couldn't sleep all night at the thought that once the city was broken, tens of millions of people in the city would suffer.

The strength of the enemy army is really terrifying. With only a considerable number of troops, it is possible to fight such a high-quality siege battle, and throughout the ages, few people have been able to do it.

Bingxian Han Xin is worthy of his name.

Of course, the officers and men of the various units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are also very effective and their morale is high.

"Edo will definitely be able to hold it!"

Oda Nobunaga's gaze was firm, and he turned to inspect the other castle walls. Wherever Oda Nobunaga went, the soldiers around him would look at him with admiration. Obviously, in the Toei army, Oda Nobunaga had unparalleled prestige.

This made Oda Nobunaga walk on thin ice.

…………

9 a.m., East Daying.

Ouyang Shuo had quietly moved here from the north last night, and the purpose was self-evident.

Seeing that the siege battle had entered the rhythm and the Dongying defenders had been successfully contained, Han Xin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can start!" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Let's go, go outside!" ”

The group rode to the outside of the barracks, and beyond that was the battlefield of the battle.

Ouyang Shuo stood still, clicked on the national war page in the attribute panel, and chose to summon the forbidden army to help in the battle.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player, Huaxia District meets the requirements of the national war to summon the forbidden army, according to the total number of Huaxia forbidden army, you can summon 500,000 forbidden troops to help the war, please select the number of summons! Friendly reminder: For each person summoned, you need to spend 10 gold coins, so choose carefully and make sure you have enough funds. ”

According to Gaia, because it is to help the war, the summoned forbidden army will unconditionally obey the command of the leader of the national war. At the end of the war, the remaining forbidden troops will be automatically teleported back to the royal city without double billing.

"Calling half a million people." Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

"System prompt: The number of summoners is confirmed, please select which royal city to summon, or which royal cities to call the forbidden army. Friendly reminder: The two royal cities of Kyoto and Jianye have not yet settled in the emperor and cannot be summoned. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Summoning 500,000 forbidden troops in Dali Wangcheng." Since it is a reasonable setting, Ouyang Shuo naturally doesn't mind pitting Dali to lay the groundwork for the future attack on Dali and remove obstacles.

"System prompt: The summoning request is reasonable, automatically deduct five million gold coins, and start summoning!"
