Chapter 733: It's hard to break the city
Pavaro and Zhuge Mo were already dumbfounded, the city gate that was originally the weakest in their eyes had become the most difficult place to breach, seeing those trap beasts scarred themselves, Zhuge Mo almost felt as if his heart was about to be shattered.
Zhuge Mo couldn't understand how the seemingly thick gate of Edo City could be so strong, and his own mechanism beast couldn't break it, but would scar it himself.
"Boom, boom, boom" Zhuge Mo was still not convinced, and continued to order the trap beast to hit the city gate, wanting to see how hard the city gate would be.
"Bang ......" finally smashed his head directly into a trap beast that hit the city gate, and Zhuge Mo stopped letting the trap beast continue to hit the city gate, because he finally understood that it was impossible to use the trap beast to break through the city gate.
Pavaro was also full of surprise, looked at Zhuge Mo, who had already stopped the impact of the trap beast, and asked very puzzledly, "Why? Why is this the result?"
Zhuge Mo roared angrily: "Are you asking me? Are you asking me? But how do I know? How do I know what's going on? Bastard, damn bastard, my hard work. ”
At this moment, Pavaro and Zhuge Mo were almost crazy, Edo Castle, which originally seemed to them to be easy to attack, turned into an insurmountable mountain, blocking in front of them, they were completely unable to cross this high mountain, and there was no way to attack Edo Castle.
You must know that for Pavaro, he has been planning for a long time to conquer Edo Castle, and he has almost calculated a qiē, and even counted Emperor Fuso, deliberately making Emperor Fuso suspicious of Lucius, so that the emperor does not send troops to support Lucius.
In Pavaro's mind, as long as Emperor Fuso did not send troops to support Lucius, then Edo Castle would inevitably be conquered by himself. Even if Lucius had the means to reach the sky, he would never be able to defend Edo Castle alone.
But the result backfired, and now he has led a large army to attack Edo Castle for a long time, but he has never been able to break through Fusang Castle, and even Zhuge Mo's trap beast has lost a large part of it.
The current situation is very unfavorable for Pavaro, and the trap beast is completely ineffective, unable to break through the gates of Edo Castle, and there is no way to gain a foothold on the castle tower, so it is necessary to think of a way to attack, otherwise Edo Castle will not be breached.
Come to think of it. Pavaro couldn't help but be a little annoyed, his hard work and planning ended up like this, Pavaro was really a little difficult to accept.
Zhuge Mo saw Pavaro sitting on the back of the horse and was silent, so he couldn't help but ask: "Pavaro, do you still have a way?
Pavaro turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Mo, but finally had to give in: "I really don't have a better way now, and I didn't expect that Edo City would be so strong, and that gate would be able to withstand the frontal impact of your Trap Beast." ”
Hear Pavaro say that. Zhuge Mo smiled helplessly and said, "Hehe, it seems that we have really planted it this time, and we can't even capture Edo City." ”
Both Pavaro and Zhuge Mo looked gloomy, and the morale of the army was difficult to break through because of the city gates. It seemed a little depressed, and it could be seen that most of the soldiers were listless and had lost the desire to attack. Even the blades in his hands were placed casually by his side.
It can be seen that the samurai in the south of Fuso have lost faith in this war. They felt that Edo Castle was not as easy to conquer as they thought.
At this moment, the daimyo who had been supported by Pavaro and Zhuge Mo finally came to Pavaro and Zhuge Mo's side, and asked the two in a low voice: "Two adults, the current situation is very critical, I wonder if the two adults can listen to the next sentence?" Maybe we should withdraw our troops first. ”
"Withdraw?" Pavaro was a little annoyed when he heard this, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked as calmly as he could, "Tell me, why are we withdrawing our troops? ”
The daimyo was also a little anxious when he heard this, and said in a hurried voice: "But we can't take this city, and the strong gate alone is beyond our reach." ”
Zhuge Mo didn't intervene when he heard this, and still asked Pavaro to answer, in fact, Zhuge Mo also wanted to withdraw his troops at this moment, after all, if he withdrew now, some of the trap beasts in his hands could still be left.
Seeing that Zhuge Mo didn't want to interject, Pavaro then said to the daimyo: "Do you think that if we retreat now, we will be able to truly retreat with our whole body? Do you think that if we withdraw now, we will still be able to overthrow the rule of the Tokugawa family? Your emperor will still be controlled by the Tokugawa family." ”
Without giving the other party a chance to refute, Pavaro continued, "You must know that we must uproot the Tokugawa family and conquer this Edo Castle in order to completely disintegrate the power of the Tokugawa family. ”
The daimyo said helplessly: "My lord, I understand what you said, but you have also seen it, we have no way to take Edo Castle, so there is no point in continuing to spend it here, if we wait for the army of the Tokugawa family, I am afraid that we will not be enough to stuff our teeth." ”
According to the time when Pavaro mobilized the daimyo to send troops, Pavaro did so on the grounds that they would overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate and reinstate the Fuso regime that they had loyal to the emperor.
Naturally, this was supported by most of the southern daimyos, who still recognized the emperor's position even though they had long since rejected the Tokugawa family's control.
Therefore, giving them a reason to overthrow the shogunate and support the emperor to regain power will at least make them feel at ease to send troops north, so that they will not dare to wave their troops to the north because their emperor is in the north, and can only passively wait for the emperor to canonize them.
It's just that the current result is different from the original result when Pavaro sued them, and now the result is that Edo Castle cannot be breached, which makes the daimyo begin to question the reason why Pavaro sued them.
According to the original Pavaro, as long as they conquered Edo Castle, they would uproot the foundation of the Tokugawa family, and then the Tokugawa family would inevitably compromise with His Majesty the Emperor, and later they would all be rewarded by the Emperor, and their daimyo would be able to secure their position and become the powerful ministers of Fuso in one fell swoop.
However, even Pavaro never imagined in advance that Fuso Castle would be so difficult to conquer, and that Lucius would really be able to defend Edo Castle alone.
Now Pavaro is already difficult to ride a tiger, and he doesn't want to go down, the purpose of his trip is to conquer Edo City, if he retreats now, his plan will all fail, and he will lose to Lucius again, and he will lose his identity as Pei Yan.
Because under the attack, he has exposed his identity and completely offended Li Wuchen, as the favorite grandson of the two saints of the Tang Empire, Li Wuchen's right to speak in the Tang Dynasty can be described as pivotal, and it is definitely enough to change Pavaro's treatment in the Tang Dynasty.
For Pavaro, if he wants to keep his identity as Pei Yan and be able to defeat Lucius in this game, he must take Edo Castle in front of him.
Seeing that Pavaro was still unwilling to let go, the daimyo in the south of Fusang finally couldn't help but say: "My lord, if you insist on insisting, then I have to lead the army under my command to withdraw, I can't lose too many troops here, otherwise I will lose the right to speak in Fusang in the future." ”
Pavaro's face changed suddenly, and he stared at the daimyo with a gloomy face, and his eyes suddenly revealed strange lines in circles.
The daimyo glanced at Pavaro's eyes and immediately tried to avoid them in horror, but Pavaro's eyes seemed to have hooks on him, and his soul was hooked, so that the daimyo had no way to avoid his gaze, but could only look at him there.
For a moment, the daimyo's mind went blank, and many memories of the past were withdrawn, and then those memories were forcibly poured into his head.
In this way, the head of the daimyo almost cracked, and the pain made the daimyo want to scream, but he found that his body was no longer under his control.
After a long time, the daimyo gradually came to his senses, and when he looked at Pavaro again, his eyes were full of the most Pavaro reverence, and he bowed to Pavaro: "My lord, please forgive me for being disrespectful to you before, please rest assured, we will resolutely carry out your orders and vow to take Edo Castle." ”
Zhuge Mo next to him, watching the changes in the Fusang Daimyo, his eyes revealed a deep fear of Pavaro, he knew very well that it was a secret technique that originated from the lost empire under the sand sea.
This kind of secret art can manipulate a person's mind and make a person change his original thoughts, but it will not destroy all his memories, and even the person who has fallen for the secret art will not know it at all.
Zhuge Mo knew very well that once this secret technique was cast, he was afraid that he would become a puppet of Pavaro in the future, and he would obey Pavaro, just like a marionette, and would never have even the slightest resistance to Pavaro.
Seeing the daimyo leave, Zhuge Mo said cautiously: "Pavaro, this secret technique of yours is really powerful, so easy to make that guy obedient." ”
Pavaro stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and shook his head a little tiredly: "Hey, this is also a way that there is no way, but if there is a way, I don't want to use this method, because this method is too hurtful, and even I may be seriously injured if it is not good." ”
Hearing that Pavaro himself was also very jealous and unwilling to use this ability, Zhuge Mo's hanging heart couldn't help but relax, and he breathed a sigh of relief, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, can you use it or not, after all, this kind of secret technique still hurts the heavens and peace." ”
Pavaro knew very well in his heart that Zhuge Mo was afraid of his secret technique, and he did not break it, but turned his head to look at Edo Castle, which looked like a turtle shell, changed the topic and sighed: "Hey, it seems that it is really difficult to break such a turtle shell.
