Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

When Oda Nobunaga stayed in Kyoto and was gradually losing patience, he suddenly got a news that made him angry and surprised, because the White Cloud City fleet, which had not had any news, actually appeared in Izumo City in the early hours of the morning, and launched an attack on Izumo City at the first time, without giving the Cloud City Teleportation Array any chance to play.

He was furious that when the other party attacked Izumo City, they first destroyed the two ultimate docks of Izumo City, and not only that, but the thousands of ordinary sailing ships docked in the port of Izumo City were not spared. Due to the speed of the other party, the non-commissioned officers in the naval camp of Izumo City did not have time to board the ships at all, and watched as the ships were sunk one by one.

The reason why Oda Nobunaga was happy was that he finally had the opportunity to teach this bold and reckless lord of Baiyun City a lesson. I want him to give back the slap he gave him before.

The news obtained by Oda Nobunaga was naturally transmitted by the carrier pigeons of the Izumo Castle garrison. However, since Izumo Castle was only 500 kilometers away from Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga received the news in a timely manner.

According to the information obtained from the letter, the White Cloud City fleet is now launching a fierce attack on the city. Fortunately, Izumo City is not an ordinary heavy city, but a military town, and the city level has also reached level five, which is second only to the capital, and there are more than one million troops stationed in it, and it belongs to the elite force. The most important thing is that one of the legions, a main legion belonging to Oda Nobunaga's forces, is composed of seventh-order soldiers, with about 400,000 personnel, dedicated to defending Izumo Castle.

Oda Nobunaga is still relatively confident in this legion, as long as the army of Baiyun City still adopts the method of strong attack, then Izumo City should be able to withstand the opponent's attack for a day. Although ordinary infantry cannot reach Izumo Castle in a day, infantry or cavalry with the strength of the eighth rank can. However, since most of the areas under Oda Nobunaga's influence were in the northern part of Honshu Island, there were many mountainous areas, which were not very suitable for cavalry combat. Therefore, there were not many cavalry under Oda Nobunaga, so the method of galloping with cavalry did not work. The most important thing is that for the defense of the city, the role of cavalry is not very obvious.

After consulting with his advisors, Oda Nobunaga sent three legions of eighth-order soldiers stationed in Kyoto City, each with nearly 400,000 people, two of which were high-level special troops and one was an ordinary special class, which was very strong. And this is the only three eighth-order legions in Kyoto City. At the same time, he also ordered the other two small cities around Izumo Castle to send 100,000 troops each to rush to the aid of Izumo Castle, but the quality of these 100,000 troops was not as good as the two legions that came out of Kyoto Castle.

Oda Nobunaga also knew that there were many masters in the fleet of Baiyun City, and as for how powerful these masters were, Oda Nobunaga did not know. Although he got some news from the player's mouth. It is said that there is a fierce general under Yang Tian, who can be compared with the number one general under his command, Maeda Keiji. However, Oda Nobunaga did not believe it very much, in his opinion, Maeda Keiji's strength was unsurpassed in the entire Great Wa Empire, although it could not be said that there were no such strong people in the Han Kingdom. But to say that such a strong man will be subdued by a mere player force, Oda Nobunaga doesn't believe it very much.

However, this time, Oda Nobunaga sent a legion composed of three eighth-order soldiers, not just to defend Izumo Castle. Instead, he wanted to use the strong walls of the heavy city of Izumo Castle to consume the living power of the other party. He knew the previous battle of the Baiyun City army in the Waguo District, and knew that the other party also had several powerful legions under him, which were no worse than his three major legions. And the number of them was much more than his three major legions. Although he had other powerful legions under his command, those legions were not in Kyoto City, and it would take a lot of time to transfer them. It also requires a large sum of money. No one wants to use teleportation arrays to mobilize troops on a large scale unless necessary.

Oda Nobunaga also knew. He planned to rely on the city walls to consume the forces of Baiyun City, which was also a very passive thing, and once the other party found that he could not capture Izumo City, he would most likely turn around and leave. With the few ships left in his power now, it is basically impossible to stop the other party.

He really regretted it now, if he had known that this Baiyun City army would come to attack Cloud City, he would definitely not have transferred the Oda Naval Army of Nine Ghost Jialong. In that case, he could let the navy block the retreat of the White Cloud City fleet at sea and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop. But now it is obviously impossible to transfer the Oda Navy back, and he has no intention of transferring the other party back, such a long distance, even with the speed of the ships of the Oda Navy Army, it will not be possible to return in ten days and a half months.

Of course, although Oda Nobunaga is not sure that he will leave the other party all, there is still a chance to inflict heavy damage on the other party. As long as their strength is weakened, they can no longer wreak havoc in the waters of the Wa Kingdom, and when there is a lack of supplies, they will naturally find ways to return to the waters of the Han Kingdom. This is another reason why Oda Nobunaga did not transfer the Kuki Yoshitaka back.

In order to be able to fight this war well, Oda Nobunaga also appointed Keiji Maeda as the commander-in-chief, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the deputy marshal and military advisor, and went to Izumo Castle together.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi left, he also reminded Oda Nobunaga to be careful of the strange army of Sunshine attacking other cities. According to the previous law, this time the Baiyun City fleet chose to storm Izumo City, which means that Sunshine himself is not in the fleet, and no one knows whether the other party came to Honshu Island or continued to stay in Hokkaido. But no matter where he is, it's always right to be on the lookout.

Oda Nobunaga also trusted Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words and ordered a close watch on his castle, but he never imagined that the Baiyun Castle army would dare to attack Kyoto Castle. After all, even if the three strongest armies are transferred from Kyoto City now, there are still millions of troops left in the city. After all, Kyoto Castle is a dignified royal city, with hundreds of millions of residents in the city, and it is easy to support nearly 10 million troops. And among the remaining millions of troops, they are not local chickens and dogs, and the lowest strength is all fifth-order soldiers. With the strength of the other party, if you want to attack Kyoto City head-on, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Moreover, as Yang Tian and others had guessed before, Kyoto City, as the only royal city in the Wakoku District, was completely useless for skills such as stealth. Oda Nobunaga was not worried at all that the other party would infiltrate the castle lord's mansion through guò stealth techniques.

Excluding these, Oda Nobunaga is not worried that the other party will directly attack the City Lord's Mansion, even if the other party summons that pet from the sky, there will be special weapons against him, because they are densely packed around the City Lord's Mansion, a large number of high-quality ballista carts, even if the strength has reached the holy level, Maeda Keiji has to be careful under the attack of this ballista.

Oda Nobunaga's only concern is the other cities in the territory, until now, he has not thought of any way to break the sun's tactics, unless they can gather nearly a hundred emperor-level or above generals in any city, and then wait for the opponent to attack any city, they will teleport to the nearest city to the attacked city as quickly as possible, and then rely on flying pets to rush to the attacked city.

However, this method is easy to say, but it is difficult to implement. First of all, these emperor-level generals are the treasure bumps of various forces, and any force is eager to break one into two, how can they let the other party stay idle in the city! The most important thing is that the forces of the Wa Kingdom are not monolithic, and there is also intrigue between various forces, and it is even more difficult to gather a hundred emperor-level generals than to ascend to the sky. Moreover, even if the people are gathered, from the moment the other party attacks the city, they need to be notified, teleported, and then they have to hurry, even if they have flying pets, it will take nearly an hour. And once Yang Tian's strange army launched an attack on a city, it basically ended the battle within half an hour. Unless the entire Baiyun City fleet is attacking, but in such a siege battle, it is difficult for a hundred emperor-level generals to turn the tide of the battle.

Putting these aside, are there so many emperor-level generals in the Waguo District? You must know that for most of the current forces, the emperor-level military generals are almost equivalent to the first-class historical generals and above, how many can there be in the entire Wa Kingdom District? Last time, in order to ambush Yang Tian in Mousse City, he only gathered more than forty masters with the strength above the emperor level, but the slap was too loud, which also made these Japanese forces lose the confidence to completely kill Yang Tian.

……

Izumo Castle is a castle near the sea, but it's not really next to the sea. In addition to a few dockyards and harbors that sit on the sea, the edge of the city is 500 meters away from the coastline, separated by a tall wall. When the tide is high, the sea water will flood nearly half of the open space in front of the castle in front of you, and after the tide is low, a tidal flat more than 200 meters wide will be exposed here, and after this tidal flat, the depth of the sea water will soar to hundreds of meters, which can fully accommodate any ship to pass Guò, which is why Izumo Castle will be a naval base.

And now, when the tide of Izumo Castle is receding, the sea has already flowed away from the beach. The beach on the sea is very different from the silted rivers, and people walk on it without worrying about sinking, which is one of the reasons why Izumo Castle built the northern wall.

Izumo Castle is now in full swing, and the White Cloud City fleet is only attacking a wall near the sea of Izumo Castle, because only by attacking this wall can they play the role of those catapults on the ship, suppress the city defense equipment on the Izumo City wall, and reduce the loss of their own personnel.

Guo Jia didn't dare to let the ship get too close, because he found that a large part of the siege equipment on the city wall was medium-sized, although the Sea King giant ship was very strong, but if it was hit by the boulders thrown by these medium-sized catapults, it would also be damaged. However, in order to drop the army on the ground, the transports had to brave boulders to rush to the shore. (To be continued)
