Chapter 1095: Loyal Soul (2)
Isshiki Castle is a mountain town.
There is only one main gate in and out of the city. But there are two ways to attack the city, one in the east and the other. To the east is the avenue, and to the west is the trail.
Surrounded by his own soldiers, Lu Liuliang came to the east city wall and stood up.
On the mountain road ahead, a group of Toyotomi troops were carrying ladders, and they were coming towards Isshiki Castle with difficulty and slowness.
"Prepare for battle." Lu Liuliang's eyes were bright, he pulled out the steel knife at his waist and shouted.
"Yes." The soldiers defending the city roared in unison. Archers who check their arrows, wrestlers who are ready to throw wood and stones.
There are also spearmen in armour, ready for battle.
and led by Heihachiro Yamamoto, a supernumerary hundred.
These warriors and soldiers of the Yamamoto family have already boarded the ship and cannot get off.
............
The eastern hills. In the formation of the Toyotomi army.
One of the sixteen generals of the Toyotomi Army, Matsudaira Tsunobu sat on a small bench, holding a folding fan, and looked at Isshiki Castle in front of him.
At present, Harima has gathered a large number of Toyotomi military forces, many daimyo and military generals.
But they were all prepared for the ambush of the main force of the Han army. To attack a mountain castle like Isshiki Castle, only a few thousand people are enough.
If there are too many troops, they will not be able to spread.
Matsudaira Nobutsuo sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Why do you sigh?" The little surname next to him couldn't help but ask.
"There was a problem with our plans. Originally, it was to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but Wu Nian sent troops to Equestria. Terashima Masanori, who had high hopes, was defeated and the city was broken. ”
"Now I can only storm Yishi City and kill the Han general Lu Liuliang."
"Isshiki Castle has a very strong defense, and it takes a lot of effort to capture Ishikaki Castle. I knew that such a thing would have been known. I won't surround the point to send reinforcements. ”
Directly after luring out Lu Liuliang, he ambushed on the road. beheaded Lu Liuliang and wiped out the Han army's strength of a thousand households. ”
Nobuyo Matsudaira sighed.
It's really a recipe for stealing chickens.
The mechanism is exhausted, and it is empty.
The little surname fell silent when he heard this, and he also sighed.
Matsudaira Nobuyo was in charge of the main camp and was responsible for attacking Isshiki Castle from both the east and the west. They are the flag retainers of the Toyotomi family.
Sanada Shinichi, Sakai Takaji.
Sanada Shinichi was in charge of the main attack in the east.
Sanada Shinichi sat on a small bench with a katana in both hands, and ten armored samurai knelt on one knee in front of him.
His gaze swept over the faces of the samurai from left to right, and he said loudly, "Samurai." Lu Liuliang was a general of the Han army who commanded an army of 10,000. The general has an order, whoever cuts off Lu Liuliang's head, seals 10,000 stones, and becomes a great name. ”
"Yes." The armored warriors immediately became agitated and shouted loudly.
"Good." A smile appeared on Sanada Shinichi's face. For the samurai, the house is everything.
The daimyo of 10,000 koku can make eighty percent of the samurai crazy.
Immediately, under the arrangement of Sanada Shinichi, the team was divided into three teams and took turns to attack Isshiki Castle.
"Kill !!!" The three armored samurai who attacked first, commanding hundreds of soldiers and carrying ladders, launched an attack on Isshiki Castle.
Lu Liuliang stood at the head of the city, looking at the soldiers of the Toyotomi army under the city. He calmly said to the archers on the left and right: "We don't have many arrows, so we aim and shoot again." ”
The archers did not answer, and their eyes were fixed on the Toyotomi army for a moment.
After the Toyotomi soldiers reached a certain distance, they drew the arrows from their quivers and took aim with their bows.
"Whoosh !!!!" Excellent Han archers shot the arrows in their hands at the most suitable distance.
In the face of the rain of arrows falling, the soldiers of the Toyotomi Army, the people in the front row screamed one after another and fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, keep charging." A samurai who led the team, raised his katana in his hand and gave the order to continue the charge.
After continuing to rush forward for some distance, the archers of the Toyotomi army found cover, hid behind it, and fired arrows at Isshiki Castle to cover the infantry charge.
Some Han soldiers let out screams and fell in pools of blood.
"Treat the wounded. Fight back. ”
"You don't need to aim precisely, you can just shoot arrows in a wide range. Be fast. Shoot fast, hide fast. Lu Liuliang shouted.
"Whoosh." Arrows rained down in front of them, and the two shield soldiers had to raise their shields and stop in front of Lu Liuliang.
"Ding, ding, ding." A powerful arrow struck the shield. The two shield bearers, like Tarzan, did not move.
"The Han army is invincible." After a Han archer shot the arrow in his hand, he sat down to dodge, then took a deep breath, and after roaring, he quickly raised his head, intending to shoot the arrow.
"Poof". The archer was shot in the forehead, struggled for a moment, and then fell in despair. The arrow in his hand failed to shoot.
Seeing this, his companion on the left was about to save him, but when he saw that he was hit by an arrow in the forehead, he sighed and reached out to help him close his eyes.
Then the companion took a deep breath, bravely took the bow and arrow, came out of his head, shot the arrow, and then quickly crouched, drew the arrow, and then came up again.
And so on and so forth.
Although the arrows under the castle can be shot, it has a great advantage by occupying the city walls. The Han army had heavy armor and strong defense.
As long as you don't get shot in the neck, face, or other vital points, you basically can't die.
Moreover, the Han army has items such as fish intestines and alcohol, which can be operated on the spot. After bleeding from an injury, there is a high probability of recovery.
Lu Liuliang and Wu Nian's confidence was not born out of thin air.
But there are really means.
"Kill !!!!!" The soldiers of the Toyotomi Army, of course, did not know this. Under the command of the armored samurai, they frantically rushed to Isshiki Castle for the sake of the status of the daimyo of 10,000 koku.
After coming to the castle with difficulty, the Toyotomi soldiers who carried the ladder set up the ladder on the city wall, and then at the urging of the samurai, the ordinary soldiers gritted their teeth and climbed the ladder.
"Wood and stones." Seeing this, the Han army officer shouted.
"Kill !!" Lux roared, picked up stones, wood and other items, and smashed them into the Toyotomi soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
"Ahh!!!!!hh The soldiers of the Toyotomi army screamed and fell from the sky. Some people were still screaming after they landed, and some people were killed on the spot.
"Don't underestimate the Han Army. Bastard. After a wrestler stoned a Toyotomi soldier to death, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the other party, and then picked up the stone and continued to smash it.
The battle was fierce from the very beginning. From sunrise to sunset.
Twilight.
As the Toyotomi army retreated like a tide, the soldiers of the Han army, both officers and soldiers, sat on the ground, panting.
"Well done."
Lu Liuliang shouted, his eyes full of pride. These are all my soldiers. It's outstanding.
This first day of fighting. The garrison of the Han army was extremely stable. Killing, wounding, and killing are also several times that of the Toyotomi army.
He's confident.
Even if he dies here, he can kill at least 5,000 Toyotomi troops.
Immediately, Lu Liuliang took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark and sent some soldiers out of the city, picked up arrows, and cleaned up the battlefield. Then, while arranging the defense of the night, he comforted the wounded soldiers.
The few pieces of meat were also taken out and fed to the wounded soldiers.
Boost morale and patrol the city walls.
Industrious inside and outside, like a cow like a horse.
