Chapter 176: The Wall of the Kingdom. Saemon Castle
The capital of the Land of the Wind is called the Wind Capital
Located northwest of the center of the Land of Winds, it is known as the "Jewel of the Desert" on the largest and most prosperous oasis in the Land of Winds.
It is the place where the daimyo is located, and it is also one of the cities directly controlled by the daimyo.
In addition to the fact that this wind can be controlled, the country of wind can also control the cities in the large and small oases around the "Desert Orb", a total of thirteen.
Among them, the closest to Kazaudon is the city called Saemon.
This city is the only city to go to the wind capital, and it is also right in front of the wind capital, so it is called the last line of defense of the wind capital.
A large stretch of quicksand behind the Japanese capital, known as the "Sea of Death", constitutes two major lines of defense in front of and behind the wind capital.
If a normal army wants to attack the wind capital, they must choose one of the attacks from the Sea of Death or from Saemon.
However, neither of these places is easy to mess with.
The Sea of Death is called the Sea of Death because of the danger it contains.
The entire area is filled with invisible quicksand, and even if a ninja enters, if they don't exit in time, the quicksand will swallow it.
As the last line of defense of the wind capital, the daimyo of the country of wind not only built the castle walls into the sky, but also deployed a large number of troops here for their own safety.
4,000 samurai, 20,000 ordinary soldiers!
It can be said that half of the military power of the Wind Country is here.
And under such an arrangement, the defense of Saemon Castle is naturally extremely strong.
Therefore, while being called the last line of defense, the city is also known as the wall of the country!
means that this is a bulwark for the entire Wind Country.

This day!
Sunny!
Outside Saemon Castle.
"Huhu~"
With the wind and sand flying, the 100,000 troops from the Great Chu State set up tents and temporary fortifications in an orderly manner in this wind and sand.
Among them, in the center of the 100,000-strong army, a huge tent was temporarily erected as a conference room.
"Your Majesty, the intelligence officers of Fengdu have just sent a telegram, saying that Fengdu is now in chaos!"
After Xue Rengui walked in from outside the tent, he respectfully reported to Li Kuanyu on the main seat.
"Good!" Li Kuan listened, his eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction.
The telegraph is now the most mainstream means of communication in the Great Chu State.
In the plane where there are no satellites and communication fiber optic cables, compared with unstable, easily affected by the weather, and slow communication methods such as post stations, carrier pigeons, beacon smoke, etc., telegraph is optimal in terms of efficiency and stability.
Therefore, Li Kuan purchased many telegraph machines a long time ago, and put them into the Tang plane, into the army, and into the intelligence organization.
"Next, we just have to wait until the Daimyo warriors of the Land of Wind gather together!" Li Kuan muttered, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Faced with how to attack the country of wind, Li Kuan had already made a plan in combination with intelligence a few months ago.
First, he gathered his army in the current place, that is, outside Saemon Castle, and threatened Saemon Castle, so that the people inside the castle felt the danger, and finally had to ask for help from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
After that, when the daimyo had to gather military forces at Saemon Castle, the Great Chu Kingdom could cover it with powerful long-range firepower and strangle the main military forces of the Wind Country at Saemon Castle.
Well, the reason why there is this idea is mainly based on the comparison of the strength of the two sides and what they are good at!
What is Da Chu good at now?
Ranged attack, firepower coverage!
And what is the Land of the Wind good at?
Close combat!
If you talk about long-range attacks, the country of wind is definitely not as good as Da Chu, but if you fight at close range.... To be honest, Da Chu is still so much worse.
If you insist on hand-to-hand combat, you will not only lose in the end, but you will win a miserable victory.
In this case, he naturally plays to his strengths and avoids his weaknesses, and through a little trick to concentrate the enemy, he then uses his advantages to destroy the opponent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even use Saemon Castle.
Fly directly into the air, or open the illusion spell to sneak in, and then after reaching the wind capital, as soon as the plane gate is opened, the army can directly descend on the wind capital and have a surprise attack!
It's just because of that the battle situation has become very unfavorable to the Da Chu side, which is mainly close quarters, supplemented by sneak attacks.
That's why he had the above plan.
"Your Majesty, I think we can use a few bazookas now, create some explosions, damage their walls, make them panic, feel the danger, so that we can speed up!" Xue Rengui proposed.
"Okay!"
Li Kuan thought for a while and said, "You go and do it!" ”
Humans are born with a fear of explosions, and it is a good idea to use explosions to create panic, strengthen their sense of urgency, and force them to ask for help from the Daimyo!
In Li Kuan's agreement, Xue Rengui nodded and turned to leave.
Soon!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Li Kuan heard a deafening explosion outside the tent.
---
The other side!
Time goes back to three minutes ago.
The walls of Saemon Castle.
An old man wearing armor and holding a delicate katana pinned to his waist, looking fifty or sixty years old, looked at the 100,000 army just outside Saemon Castle with a serious face, and his brows furrowed.
He is the ruler of Saemon Castle and the commander of the Land of Wind.
It's called Ichiro Asada!
He was in charge of the Samurai Legion of the Land of the Wind, but because he was valued by the Daimyo, he was sent to Saemon Castle to garrison.
"Where did this army come from?" Ichiro Asada frowned tightly and couldn't help but think.
He didn't know the exact number of troops in front of him, but judging from his years of combat experience, it was at least seventy or eighty thousand or even more.
Seventy or eighty thousand troops!
It's not 70,000 ants.
Under normal circumstances, let alone an army of seventy or eighty thousand, even if it is the actions of a few thousand people, it is very easy to grasp, at least you can get the news of these thousands of people before they come.
But what about this army in front of you?
Not to mention the news that has come!
Even who they are, now Asada Ichiro doesn't know.
I only know that the other party suddenly appeared here in the morning.
It's like a ghost!
Let Ichiro Asada feel like he's seen a ghost.
Moreover, judging by the equipment of the other side, this is still an elite army.
Well, although there are some people on the other side who can't understand the equipment, the armor and weapons worn by most of them look better than the people in their samurai legions!
"Now I can only wait for the Daimyo's support!" After thinking about it for a long time, Ichiro Asada, who still hadn't come up with an answer, could only decide like this.
Just before, when he found out that this army had appeared, he had already sent people to report to the daimyo in the wind capital.
Well, although I don't know if the other party is a samurai or not, but depending on the other party's equipment, this number of troops, even if they are ordinary troops, is enough for them to drink a pot, so they can't do it without calling for support!
However!
Just when Ichiro Asada was thinking.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, he saw a group of people coming out of the other party's army, holding some long tubes in their hands.
"What are they doing here?"
Puzzled, in the next second, Ichiro Asada understood!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
A violent explosion came, bursts of fire burst out from all parts of the city wall, and at the same time, large and small gaps appeared in the towering city wall for the first time.
"It's not !! good"
Ichiro Asada's heart "chuckled" and felt bad.
The power of the attack was nothing to him.
But not with his men.
A violent explosion of this magnitude may make his subordinates panic, and if the other party takes advantage of this time to attack, then not to mention that they can capture it, but even if they resist, they will suffer heavy losses.
"Oh no, it's a ninja!"
"There are ninjas, everyone be careful!"
"Get out of the way, there's a ninjutsu attack, dodge it!!"
...
And just as Ichiro Asada expected, all the samurai and soldiers on the city wall panicked.
They didn't know that it was the damage caused by the bazooka just now, and they thought it was caused by the ninja, and because the power of the ninja penetrated into the hearts of the people in this world, they were so frightened.
"Isn't it a ninja? Calm me down! Ichiro Asada roared angrily, trying to forcibly calm everyone's nervous hearts.
In fact, at this time, Ichiro Asada felt that something was wrong.
It's not like he hasn't killed ninjas.
But he had never seen such a style of ninjutsu, and it didn't look like a ninjutsu unleashed by a ninja at all.
In addition, what made him feel even more strange was that after the other party released this so-called "ninjutsu" and made a gap in the city wall, he did not continue to attack, but went back.
Suddenly, Ichiro Asada was a little puzzled.
What kind of human delusion is this?
However!
After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't come up with an answer.
In the end, he decided that regardless of whether the other party was a ninja or not, in short, inform the daimyo first, and let the daimyo quickly transfer some more people, otherwise with the "ninjutsu" that the other party had just released plus their numbers, the wind would probably not be able to hold it!
