Chapter 221: The War of the Japanese Army (I)

As the city gate opened, Wang Ying rode a war horse and carried a spear, surrounded by a group of cavalry, to the outside of the city.

"Those who come are famous, and they will not kill the unknown!" Wang Ying looked at the Japanese general who was as short as himself on the opposite side, and asked loudly after coming to the front of the battle.

"I'm Masao Takeda! Let the people of the Central Plains suffer death! After announcing his name, the warlord rode his horse and rushed towards Wang Ying, and the weapon in his hand was a katana with a significantly elongated hilt, which looked nondescript.

The long hilt of the sword allowed the Japanese warrior to hold the knife in both hands, and then the momentum of the war horse slashed at Wang Ying with a fierce sword.

Seeing this, Wang Ying hurriedly raised his spear to block, and after a loud bang, Wang Ying blocked the other party's knife, which made Wang Ying a little surprised, although this Japanese man was short in stature, but this strength was not small, if it weren't for the fact that he was now practicing the upper-level martial arts techniques issued to them above, he might not be able to block this knife! After all, his original strength was according to the evaluation standards of the Blue Dragon Empire, that is, the strength of the Dark Power Martial Artist.

However, after cultivating the exercises sent down from above, coupled with the fact that he followed Emperor Ye Tianlong to fight in the south and north during this time, he had ample opportunities for actual combat experience, and now his strength has already been improved to the level of chemical strength.

After holding up hard, and after holding the long knife of the Japanese general, Wang Ying stabbed the opponent in the chest with a shot.

In order to be able to show his ability in front of the brothers, Wang Ying's gun even mobilized a lot of internal force in his body to bless the spear, making a cyan spear faintly reveal on the tip of the spear that was pierced.

The Japanese general wanted to raise his knife to block, but he was directly stabbed by Wang Ying's gun, and then the spear was still undiminished and plunged into his heart.

"Give me death!" Wang Ying roared, and actually picked up the Japanese general from his horse with a spear, and then shook the spear in his hand hard, and the body of the Japanese general fell from the spear, fell a few meters away, and splashed a cloud of dust.

The soldiers on the opposite side were all surprised to see that the general sent by their own side was killed without even catching a single move of the Han general, after all, that general was already one of the best masters in their army!

Wang Ying looked at the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom who were obviously frightened, and felt very proud, laughing and shouting: "I am a bantam tiger Wang Ying is also!" Who else would dare to come to your death, you slaves! ”

Although Wang Ying behaved very arrogantly, because of his performance of killing his own general in one move just now, no one in those Japanese people dared to go out and fight Wang Ying alone for a while.

Wang Ying couldn't help but smile even more proudly when he saw that no one dared to fight for half a day, and then he said in a very loud tone: "Since one person doesn't dare to go up, then it's better for three or five of you to come up together, and the generals will all take it!" ”

Hearing Wang Ying say this, Song Jiang, who was watching the battle on the city wall, couldn't help frowning, thinking that Wang Ying, this kid, was floating again! Could it be that this kid has forgotten that among the generals in Liangshan, his strength can only be regarded as third-rate! How dare you pick more than one like Lu Fengxian in the past!

Contrary to Song Jiang, those Japanese people couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, after all, since the Han general dared to add a 'tiger' word to his nickname, it means that he is definitely the top fierce general among the Han people, if he can defeat the other party, it will definitely make the morale of the enemy plummet, so even if it is besieged by many people, it doesn't matter if the means are shameless.

So not long after Wang Ying's words fell, among the Japanese army, three generals rushed out on horseback and rushed towards Wang Ying.

Two of the three Japanese warriors wielded spears, and one used a long-handled battle axe.

When Wang Ying saw that the other party had three people coming at a time, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately danced his spear and fought with the three of them.

Although they were besieged by the three of them, Wang Ying fought with all his might, and he still managed to resist the offensive of the three, and as the battle continued, the strength of the three Japanese generals became weaker and weaker, and there was even a tendency to be suppressed by Wang Ying in turn.

Fortunately, at this time, there was another warrior with a katana at his waist and a bow and arrow in the great array of the Japanese Kingdom.

Taking advantage of Wang Ying's attention to be attracted by the three companions, this warlord quietly walked around behind Wang Ying, and then shot an arrow at Wang Ying's heart with a bow and arrow.

"Wang Ying be careful!" Song Jiang saw that the war of the Japanese Kingdom was about to release cold arrows to sneak attack, and hurriedly reminded Wang Ying.

After Wang Ying heard the reminder of his eldest brother Song Jiang, he immediately noticed the sound of the arrow breaking the wind behind him, so he wanted to turn around and shoot the arrow that was shooting at him.

However, at this time, the three generals of the Japanese Kingdom also burst out their last strength, constantly launching fierce attacks on Wang Ying, dragging Wang Ying to death, so that he didn't dare to turn around and shoot the arrow at all.

Seeing that Wang Ying was about to be hit by an arrow, Xiao Li Guanghuarong immediately opened his bow and shot an arrow, accurately hitting the arrow that was shot at Wang Ying's heart, shooting it into two parts.

"Wang Ying, come back quickly!" In order to prevent Wang Ying from being attacked by other Japanese generals, Song Jiang hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered him.

Wang Ying also reacted at this time that he was careless, these Japanese people can't beat themselves head-on, and they will play yin! In that case, then he won't play with these guys anymore.

So in the next second, the spear in Wang Ying's hand swept forward forcefully, forcing back the three Japanese generals, and then turned around and was about to flee back to the city.

The hundreds of cavalry that came out with him also rushed over one after another, wanting to take Wang Ying back to the city.

However, those Japanese generals took the opportunity to shout that the Han generals had defeated them, and then directly led the army to launch a full-scale attack.

When Wang Ying saw this scene, he couldn't help but run faster on horseback, after all, no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think that he could block the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops!

At this time, the four Japanese generals stepped forward to intercept Wang Ying.

Wang Ying kept waving the spear in his hand, and finally poked one to death and felt a little exhausted, but fortunately, at this time, Hua Rong shot again, a wave of three arrows, and the remaining three Japanese generals were shot in the throat one after another, and they fell off their horses and died without saying a word.

At the same time, Sun Sheng, the dragon prince of the clouds, also began to wield the magic sword in his hand, only to see that as the magic sword in his hand continued to dance, a tornado suddenly appeared between heaven and earth without warning, and this tornado also appeared right in front of the Japanese army, carrying the dirt and gravel in the sky and collided with the Japanese army.

"Not good! It's a tornado! Run! Seeing this, the generals of the Japanese kingdom who rushed to the front turned their horses and fled in fright, but they trampled to death many of their own soldiers who could not dodge.

But at this time, I can't care about some accidental injuries, after all, once I am swept into this terrible tornado, I am afraid that it will be nine deaths!

Many Japanese soldiers who did not have war horses to ride were soon caught up by the tornado, and then their short bodies were swept up by the wind without resistance, and then collided with each other in the tornado, and the armor and weapons on their bodies were also forcibly blown away, turning into murderous weapons, and many Japanese soldiers were accidentally hit by the spears and knives blown by the wind, and died in the tornado screaming.

As a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by the tornado, the originally gray-black tornado was gradually dyed with a hint of dazzling blood red.

"Whew! This use of spells against mortals is really too reluctant! At this time, the remaining mana in Gongsun Sheng's body could not continue to maintain the spell, so he could only stop casting the spell, allowing the tornado to quickly dissipate.

In the original work of the Water Margin, Gongsun Sheng, the archmage above Liangshan, generally only takes action after the enemy appears as a mage, and does not do much to mortals who can't spell.

Ye Tianlong also asked the reason, but Gongsun Sheng was vague, but it seemed that there were indeed some taboos that Ye Tianlong did not understand, so the archmage with monstrous mana like Gongsun Sheng couldn't support it in just a few minutes after he dealt with those mortals.

Fortunately, its purpose was also fulfilled, and the army of the Wa Kingdom was stopped by the tornado summoned by its spell, and Wang Ying also led the hundred cavalry to successfully return to the city.

Then the east gate of Dengzhou City was shut, and there were even a lot of sacks full of sand and soil piled up behind.

The generals of the Wa Kingdom, who had escaped by galloping on horseback, were not too annoyed when they saw that the raid was unsuccessful, and after reorganizing the formation that had been a little messy by the tornado, they began to attack Dengzhou City from three walls at the same time.

Seeing this, Song Jiang immediately arranged 3,000 regular soldiers and 5,000 militia on each of these three walls for defense.

Since those militiamen were newly recruited, they basically didn't learn much other skills, except for a few simple marksmanship, most of the time was spent training and learning how to learn the winch heavy crossbow.

So at this time, these militiamen raised their winches and heavy crossbows on the city wall, and shot waves of arrows at the rapidly approaching Japanese soldiers under the city.

The Japanese soldiers, who were only equipped with thin bamboo armor and leather armor, suffered heavy losses under the attack of these powerful crossbow arrows, and thousands of people fell with each round of arrow rain.

By the time the first batch of Japanese siege troops finally rushed to the city wall in the rain of arrows, they had already suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and this first batch of siege troops had about 10,000 people on each wall, adding up to a total of 30,000, which had more than 8,000 casualties, and the casualty rate was close to one-third.

But these Japanese soldiers did have a ruthless spirit, even if they suffered heavy losses, they still built the rudimentary ladders on the city wall one by one and began to attack the city.

Seeing this, Song Jiang was also unceremonious, and while ordering the militia to continue to fire arrows at the follow-up troops of the Wa Kingdom, he let the heavily armed soldiers lean out from the city wall with pieces of rolling wood and stones, and smashed them down at the most densely populated enemy forces below.

Every piece of rolling wood and stone that fell could kill at least five or six enemy soldiers, but at the same time, the enemy archers under the city were constantly firing arrows at the defenders who were emerging from the city walls.

Fortunately, these people who are responsible for smashing stones are regular soldiers, and the armor on their bodies is either bright light armor or steel plate armor, and those arrows shot by the bow with poor bow strength cannot break through the defense of the armor on their bodies at all, and many soldiers have dozens of arrows inserted in their bodies, and they are still free to continue to move rolling wood and stones on the city wall to smash those enemy troops who are constantly surging upward.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, the first batch of attacking Japanese soldiers were lost, and the few remaining soldiers, although they did not receive the order to retreat, all quickly retreated, after all, the defense of this Dengzhou City was too strong, and they felt that they had no chance of winning if they continued to fight, and they were just sent to death in vain.

After all, in this fierce battle for more than an hour, more than 30,000 troops on their side were almost dead, but not a single soldier successfully climbed the city wall, and all of them were smashed down by those rolling logs and stones while still climbing the wall.

Seeing that it was not too early, the generals of the Japanese state also took advantage of the situation to collect their troops, returned to the camp not far away with the army, and began to make a fire and cook.

Speaking of which, the treatment of these Japanese soldiers is really poor, when the defenders of the Qinglong Empire in the city are happily eating braised pork and rice, most of these Japanese soldiers can only eat some wowotou mixed with a lot of wild vegetables and wheat husks.

It is precisely because the food is so poor that the Japanese soldiers are so short.

And the food of those Japanese generals is not bad compared to the small soldiers below, there is fish and meat on the table, and the rice they eat is also rice.

However, although the food was good, the appetite of these Japanese generals was not high, because in today's battle, they lost 30,000 troops at once, but they did not even climb the wall of Nadenzhou City once, and the enemy soldiers killed and wounded were estimated to be few.

According to today's situation, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that even if the remaining more than 200,000 troops are wiped out, they may not be able to capture this Dengzhou City.

So after some discussion with a black face, these Japanese generals decided to give up attacking Dengzhou City, and instead focused on attacking and plundering those villages, after all, the defense in those villages is definitely not high, and it is impossible to have such a strong and tall wall as Dengzhou City, they can still gnaw on it.

Of course, in order to prevent the defenders in Nadengzhou City from going out of the city to pursue them, they must also leave the army in this camp at that time, and make the illusion that the army is still here, so that the Qinglong Empire army in Nadengzhou City will not dare to leave the city easily.

And when those Japanese generals were discussing the future strategy, Song Jiang ignored his physical exhaustion, and still personally visited the soldiers who were fighting today on the city wall, and comforted the wounded soldiers, so that the wounded soldiers felt that the wounds were not very painful.

I have to say that Song Jiang's ability to buy people's hearts is indeed very strong, and after following Ye Tianlong and broadening a lot of knowledge, he has now gradually become a qualified commander, and it may not be good to fight against a strong army like the Jin Army, but it is still easy to use it to deal with those Japanese people.

Just like now, because it defended the city of Dengzhou to the ground, the Japanese people didn't want to continue to fight here, and instead prepared to raid the villages that had little force to defend.

At the same time, the morale of the defenders in the city was also very high under their constant inspection and encouragement, and they did not have any panic because they were surrounded by enemy troops several times their size.
