Raphael overestimated the strength of his elite and underestimated the determination of the army and civilians of Surabaya City to fight to the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Raphael was the first to mobilize an elite legion of soldiers to begin the siege! The soldiers held their shields high and marched slowly with steady steps.

The trenches in front of Surabaya Castle were stacked on top of each other, and the ashigaru men were grouped in groups of ten and fired one after another in a semicircle.

As the so-called rope saws are broken, water drops are worn by stones! The attack power of the ashigaru's crossbow arrows is not very strong, but each blow is depleting the durability of the shield!

The war crossbow on the city wall is roaring, and when a giant crossbow arrow goes down, it is a gap, and every time a gap appears, countless ashigaru will aim the crossbow arrows in their hands at the gap. Although there was also damage, however, the damage was not significant, and the First Army reached the edge of the trench at the cost of dozens of casualties.

The trench is Li Youqian's unique fortification, and the cold weapon era is a contact war, and the trench has no meaning for melee weapons and bows and arrows, which is why Li Youqian forced everyone to learn crossbows.

Raphael's soldiers approached the trenches, and the foremost ashigaru retreated through the passage. Raphael's soldiers had never seen the trenches and did not know how to advance, whether to climb the trenches and continue their way, or to also advance to the rear through the passages?

The captain of the commander did not know how to choose, so he simply divided each into half, walked the two routes together, and then judged the way of advance according to the casualties.

The design of the passage is very impersonal, you have to take a long detour to walk the passage, and you are completely exposed to fire when you climb the trench.

According to the calculation, the captain finally decided that it was more feasible to climb directly into the trench, the passage was only enough for two people to travel, and even if they arrived safely, it would be difficult to pose a threat to Li Youqian's army.

Raphael's soldiers abandoned the protection of the trenches, climbed the trenches, and continued their advance.

The attacks of the ashigaru are getting denser and denser, and the war crossbows on the city walls are constantly harvesting lives. Raphael's soldiers continued to advance, climbing down and up, not noticing that the depth of the trenches was getting deeper and deeper! When the soldiers at the front were surprised to find that the trench had exceeded the height of a person, they noticed that there was no passage on either side of the trench, and this was the trap!

。 The trench was too high to climb, and the soldiers helped each other to climb up the trench with ladders, and they were greeted no longer by the crossbows of the Ashigaru, but by the rolling logs thrown from under the walls! With the potential energy of the height, the rolling log accelerated again, passing through the battlefield and slamming into the heads of the soldiers in the trenches. In an instant, countless soldiers broke their heads and bled out, and even if they took up their shields, they were deeply injured internally.

"When the time comes, it's now!" The ashigaru people wrap the tip of the giant crossbow in an oilcloth and set it on fire! The giant crossbow crossed the battlefield and fired into the middle and rear sections of the trench.

"Whew!" Wildfires blaze the plains, smoke rises everywhere, and countless Raphael's elite soldiers are cut off by the flames. Or burned to death, or smoked to death, or crawled out and shot to death by an endless stream of crossbow arrows.

Raphael's first offensive, after losing almost a legion of soldiers, came to an end.

.

After all, Raphael is the marshal of a country, and the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Dealing with the trenches, Raphael thought of an excellent note, build a bridge!

The next day, Raphael attacked the city again, and the shield warriors were still in the front row, but in the middle, there were archers, and every time they advanced, the archers would fire flaming rockets into the front trenches to ensure that they would not be caught in the fire trap again.

For the trenches, Raphael ordered the soldiers to cut down wood to make planks, and at each trench, the soldiers directly spread the planks on the trenches, jumped directly over them, and continued to advance.

Raphael's soldiers attacked much faster than yesterday. Wang Yingqiao's face was full of sadness, "Order the ashigaru people to abandon the trenches and retreat to the walls of Surabaya City!" ”

Raphael's soldiers jumped over trench after trench and finally came to the foot of Surabaya. At this time, a new problem arose, the planks could support the weight of the soldiers, but could not withstand the huge weight of the siege equipment! The soldiers in front were holding wooden planks, and at the moment they had to wait for the ladder to be delivered to the rear.

When the ladder arrived, the soldiers set up the ladder and began to climb the city wall, and the most primitive siege began.

The strongest siege force on the mainland, even if there are no war equipment, only cloud ladders, under the onslaught of casualties, the walls of Surabaya City are still crumbling! Eventually, Raphael took the walls and gates at the cost of nearly a legion, and the battle ended the next day.

According to common sense, as long as you guard against a night attack and capture the castle lord's mansion on the third day, the battle will be over......

It's a pity that Lee's rich army can never be judged by trying!

Early in the morning of the third day, Raphael led the remaining 4,000 people from the city gate and went straight to the city lord's mansion. However, everything was different from what he thought, not to mention strong resistance, not even a living person! The door of the city lord's mansion was wide open, and the valuables such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings inside were all placed there, and they did not move.

The whole city, there is everything, but there is no one and no food. Not a single person, not a grain of grain was seen......

If you can't see it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, when Raphael rushed to the City Lord's Mansion, seven top masters attacked Raphael's camp.

"Five Elders, thank you five for your great help, with your five elders here, we will be foolproof when we infiltrate the enemy camp." Arnold and John had planned to infiltrate the enemy camp to burn food, but they never expected to meet the five elders of Surabaya City on the way.

"The five of us are deeply favored by the emperor, and now that we are out of the customs, we are encountering the enemy army invading our city, how can we ignore it." Father Louis replied.

He said it lightly, but it was a different feeling in the ears of John and Arnold!

"Get out! Five old already? ”

"Exactly!" The five people looked at each other and smiled, the fragments of the gods that had been the guardians of the five families for generations, never thought that one day they would become gods. In particular, Father Louis, who used to be a disciple of the God of Light, has now become a god himself, although he is only the lowest god, but he can no longer continue to believe in the God of Light.

"The five of us have seen through everything in the world, comprehended the truth, and whether we have entered the world or been born, it is all a kind of practice. Since this is the case, the five of us plan to take refuge in the emperor and help him seize the world and achieve hegemony! "The old stubborn is the closest to Li Youqian, and now that he has figured it out, he wholeheartedly supports Li Youqian.

The five elders wanted to test their strength, so they simply broke into the camp directly, and the seven people regarded the army as nothing, and the thousands of elites couldn't stop it. Seven people went directly into the camp, set fire to the grain, and left in style. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.

Raphael searched the entire city of Surabaya and found nothing, he was really desperate, there was no need to fight, there was not enough food and grass for the next meal......

Now it's too late for the army to go anywhere, the grain convoy is completely blocked by the red reserves, and there is only one road left in front of Raphael's eyes, surrender!
