Chapter 585: The Battle of Nancheng (4)

The eight soldiers of the Qin army who were blocked at the gate of the city had extremely resolute faces, and they regarded death as if they were home!

The fuse of the explosive pack, which was ignited in an instant.

Rumble!

In an instant, the explosive packs piled up outside the city gate exploded violently, like an explosion of earth-shattering thunder, spreading throughout the entire city and beyond, and the huge fire and impact instantly submerged several Qin soldiers into it, and quickly spread out from the city gate.

The entire southern city trembled slightly under such a violent explosion.

The city gate, which had been hit several times with a siege vehicle and had not moved, was actually destroyed in an instant by an explosives package at this moment, and the aftermath of the explosion was like a shock wave, flying out of the city gate upside down into the city. The soldiers behind the city gate were terrified in their eyes, and they were all engulfed by the fire in an instant.

A little farther away, it was to let the flying city gate crash into the air, and some of the overflowing aftermath shook to the ground, all the internal organs were shattered, and a large mouthful of blood spit out straight to the mouth.

This kind of power made the Japanese soldiers behind the city gate dumbfounded. The power of the explosives was so powerful that even their hard city gates were blown to shreds, and behind the city gates, dozens of soldiers were all dead and wounded.

"General, the city gate blew open for the Qin army." Looking at the city gate that was blown open, the deputy general beside Fujiwara Yoshika immediately began to get nervous.

Without the city gate, the center of gravity of the Qin army's attack will be placed at the city gate, and they will have to face the preparation of being killed by the Qin army at any time.

"Panic what!" Fujiwara Yoshika scolded the latter.

Seeing this, the shield soldiers of the Japanese soldiers immediately organized a defensive formation at the gate of the city, and the rows of heavy shields made of iron were immediately tied at the gate of the city, and behind the heavy shield soldiers, there was a row of archers, and behind them were light shield soldiers holding round shields.

"Attack!"

The flames at the gate of the city were much smaller, and the figure of the Qin soldiers immediately appeared and came towards the Japanese soldiers.

The archers of the two armies fired at each other, each suffering casualties; and the suicidal attacks of the Qin soldiers, which made the Japanese soldiers suffer a lot, even if they fought in a foreign land, the Qin soldiers were still able to show the determination not to be afraid of death.

The whole day of fighting made the armies on both sides very tired! In particular, the Japanese soldiers, as the defenders, were under great pressure, and the Qin soldiers, although fierce, suffered heavy losses themselves.

It's just a day! The Japanese soldiers suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, and the Qin army's casualties, although not as high as the Japanese soldiers, also suffered two or three thousand casualties.

In the rear camp of the Qin army, the wounded soldiers had already filled the tents, and they did not bring enough medical personnel, so they could only send some soldiers to the rear camp to help.

Qi Lanyin and the generals came to inspect the wounded soldiers in the rear camp, some were slightly wounded, some were burned, some were missing arms and legs, and the entire rear camp was filled with the wailing of the soldiers of the Qin army. made Qi Lanyin's heart very uncomfortable, these soldiers were all soldiers who were born and died with him! He was very worried about it.

He finally understood now why Dongfang Yu was so enthusiastic about the invention of thermal weapons. On the battlefield, thermal weapons absolutely occupy, overwhelmingly.

"General, the battle of the Japanese soldiers to protect the country, the whole and the bottom are concentric, those Japanese soldiers have never been so strong again, and our losses today are so heavy! If this continues, even if we capture Nancheng, we don't know how many tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be left? Yang Wen frowned and couldn't help but say.

Looking at so many casualties, Yang Wen's heart was very uncomfortable.

Qi Lanyin's eyes were unblinking, looking at the soldiers, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Then, he looked at the gloomy sky, "It's going to rain!" ”

Yang Wen was stunned by this question, as a general of the water division, he would naturally know how to look at the weather.

"It's going to rain, and it's been gloomy for the past few days."

"That's good, let's go back and take a good look at the terrain!" Qi Lanyin immediately said.

"Huh?"

Yang Wen was a little stunned, he had inspected the wounded barracks so well, why did he suddenly have to see the terrain again!

Inside the South Castle!

Palace!

Today's defense has fully proved that their Japanese soldiers can resist the attack of the Qin army.

If this continues, within half a month, the Qin army will retreat in vain.

"Three generals, you have worked hard today, you have fought well!" Yoshida said.

It's just that in Yoshidawei's heart, as long as they can hold the city, it doesn't matter how many people they die.

However, the three of them were extremely worried.

"Your Majesty, today our army still relies on intact defense facilities to resist the Qin army, as time goes by, all the city defense weapons prepared by my southern city will be squandered, at that time, I don't know, can we still resist the attack of the Qin army?" As the head of the generals, Furuya Changichi naturally analyzed the situation on the entire battlefield clearly.

In addition, today's Nancheng gate has been breached, and it will be more difficult to defend it tomorrow, and the losses they have in this battle are all elite troops, and if they continue to fight like this, their army will be completely lost, and at that time, what will they do to fight with the Qin army.

Not only Furuya Changichi was worried, but the other two generals were also very worried.

As soon as the three of them said this, Yoshida Wei's face gradually became solemn, "Those three generals, what is the best way?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that in order to resist the army of Qin, our army can pull all the newly recruited soldiers and horses to the front line, and to the greatest extent, protect the elite of our army, besides, there are still many people in this southern city? Pull them all out and go to the front line to defend. To protect our own homes, these people should not just be locked in their homes and watch this big war. General Kasai suggested.

The lives and deaths of the people, in the eyes of some people, are worthless at all.

"No, resolutely not, the reason why we fought to the death with the Qin army to the end is to protect the people of the Wa Dynasty, if! Let our fathers and fellow villagers go to the city to defend against the enemy, which will inevitably make the soldiers defending the city dissatisfied, and even set off a mutiny! If it is necessary for General Kasa to do so, then please bring his wife and children to the city to defend the city! Furuya Changichi retorted directly.

At this time, there were some contradictions within the Japanese state, and those literati naturally hoped that this war would not be fought again.

After all, they are also afraid of death! This is the same as the Central Plains, all dynasties, there are always a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are traitors.
