Chapter 13: Entering the City
With the last enemy falling from the sky, the battle of the air force came to an end.
Shi Qi Jingyan fell to the top of the city, panting incessantly, and there were bursts of sorrow in his heart. Of the 140 comrades-in-arms, less than 40 still have the strength to fight a battle, and they suffered heavy damage.
However, now is not the time to rest, because as time goes by, the enemy's forces in the city have increased rather than decreased, which has seriously affected the deployment in the city.
At this time, even he could see that whether it was the mechanical troops outside the city or the enemy's new air force, they were just feints to attract attention, and they were only to cover the enemy's infiltration into the city. It's just that he couldn't figure out how the enemy army could come in with so many people.
"Air Force, help kill the enemy forces in the city!"
Shi Qi Jingyan heard the order of the city lord, immediately straightened up, and beckoned his teammates who were still fighting to take off into the air.
Street fighting is always the most brutal battle, in order to prevent accidental injury to friendly soldiers, you can't use long-range weapons, you can only choose white-knuckle combat, and you can only fill it with human lives.
The air force, in coordination with the infantry, was able to slightly block the enemy's offensive for a while.
At this moment, another flare was quickly lifted into the air.
Finally waited for the second signal to be transmitted, Takeda Jifeng's tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he shouted: "Kill!" ”
In an instant, the entire large array outside the city began to move, and countless warriors rushed out with a roar.
Although the soldiers of Takeda Castle were countless times more agile than the mechanical golems and could easily dodge some of the bombardment, the damage was still not to be underestimated in the face of covering blows and their much weaker defense compared to the machines.
"Is it true that you're coming this time?"
Masahiro Ishikawa held the city wall with his hands, his face slightly pale. This kind of siege, regardless of casualties, has not been seen since the last time the two armies fought.
"It's not good for you and me to lose both!"
Masahiro Ishikawa finally saw which city the enemy was coming from, but unfortunately, it didn't help much in the battle. He couldn't understand why Takeda would attack so recklessly, didn't he know that even if he could capture Ishikawa Castle, he would still not be able to defend it despite heavy losses?
"Bow and arrow ready, put!"
Ishikawa Tsugi didn't have time to sigh, as the general of the Acropolis, he was still very sensitive to the battle situation.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had already bent their bows for a long time let go of the cowhide strings in their hands, and a rain of arrows with cold light covered the city, and when the warriors of the snowy land were still secretly glad that they had escaped the slingstones, cannons, and giant crossbows, they were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and the screams suddenly rang out.
There are also some people who are always vigilant and do their best to protect their vital points, so although they look miserable, they are actually alive. What's more, they took out the rope from their rucksack and threw it directly at the head of the city, intending to follow it.
"Kill!"
Takeda Kikaze couldn't hold back, and rushed to the siege soldiers with an arrow, he dodged left and right, dodged countless attacks, and successfully stopped under the city wall.
"Oh!"
Seeing the general's heroic performance, the morale of the charging soldiers was greatly boosted, and even the speed was three points faster.
"Break the rope and throw the log!"
Seeing that there were more and more ropes hanging on the wall, and even some of the enemies had already climbed half the height of the city wall, Ishikawa Quercus gave instructions again.
"Squeak, squeak, click!"
Although these ropes are made from extremely tough raw materials, they still can't withstand the hacksaws that Ishikawa Castle specializes in cutting ropes.
Countless wall-climbing soldiers fell like ants, and they fell to the ground in various strange postures, and then they rolled over again and patted the dust off their bodies. For a soldier who is also at the lowest level of a samurai, it is difficult to get even slightly injured when this height drops.
"Cobblestone, rolling wood!"
As Ishikawa finished speaking, countless soldiers with relatively weak combat strength shouted and pushed the round stone rolling logs weighing hundreds of kilograms to the edge of the city wall, and then they shouted vigorously with their bare arms, and finally lifted it over the city and pushed it out.
"Boom!"
Justice descended from heaven and smashed several guys who didn't react into pulp in an instant. Bright red blood mixed into the uplifted earth, gradually staining a small area red.
At this time, the others reacted, and they looked at the gloom above their heads, and they all screamed and dodged left and right.
"Hey, hey!"
Seeing this scene, Takeda Jifeng not only did not get angry, but laughed strangely. He took out three ropes from his backpack, threw them out quickly, and said, "Look at me, follow me!" ”
With Takeda Kikaze's strength, he could have easily rushed to the city wall, but he didn't. The reason is very simple, the enemy also has a top samurai, and he can not support it alone.
Takeda's subordinates looked up one after another, only to see Takeda Kikaze relying on three ropes separated by one meter each to climb continuously, and by the way, he also dodged the falling cobblestones and rolling logs. Even if the guard cuts one of the ropes, he can quickly switch to the other rope and pull the rope out of his rucksack again and throw it somewhere else. In the blink of an eye, Takeda Ki climbed most of the city wall.
However, at this time, the guards of Ishikawa Castle also reacted one after another, and several people worked together to finally cut almost all the ropes used by Takeda Kikaze, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Takeda Ji Anran fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a confident smile: "Let's start!" ”
"Yes!"
The subordinates agreed one after another, and then excitedly learned the skills that Takeda Kikaze had used just now. Before, because there was only one person in Takeda Kikaze, it was relatively easy to target. But this time, as soon as there were too many people on it, the guards were too busy.
From a distance, the besiegers were clinging to the walls like ants, and even though most of them had fallen from having their ropes cut or being hit by rolling stones, many of them still rushed to the top of the city to engage the defenders, and gradually stabilized their formation, occupying more and more areas.
"Takeda Kifu, aren't you really afraid?"
After Ishikawa Masahiro killed several enemy soldiers, he took the initiative to face Takeda Kikaze, who was killing him. It would be a great loss to let the other party kill the soldiers defending the city.
"Afraid? What am I afraid of? ”
Takeda Jifeng's eyes flashed with danger, "Why did you choose this time to attack?" You don't want to think about why other cities can ask you for help in the first place when they are attacked? ”
"Is that you? You've been ready for a long time? ”
Mashiro Ishikawa was shocked and angry, no wonder Takeda Kikaze picked the time just when the First Army left. But soon he reacted again, "Even if you take Ishikawa Castle, what good will you have?" Why should you hold on to the heavy losses? ”
"Hahaha, do you think other cities can help you regain lost territory? Do you really think I'm going to be alone this time? ”
Takeda Kikaze was in great power, and he felt that Ishikawa Masahiro's condition was not very good, so he was in the mood to explain: "Not only my city, but our snowy country has dispatched countless armies, just to take the border of your Seagod Kingdom in one fell swoop!" Don't expect anyone to regain lost ground, because your Poseidon Kingdom has lost the war with the Central Empire! ”
Masahiro Ishikawa's eyes were full of disbelief: "I haven't received any news about this, it's impossible!" ”
"You'll know when you run back to the rear like a lost dog."
Takeda Jifeng smiled in a low voice, "By the time you recuperate and prepare for a counterattack, this area of yours will have long been integrated into our Snow Country!" ”
