"Stop the march!"
Marshal Bai Qi gave the order, the flag was waved, and hundreds of cavalrymen galloped between the squares to convey the military order!
Bai Qi commanded 300,000 Fubo troops and attacked Iwaya City from the center.
Once an order is issued, hundreds of messengers are needed to convey the order.
It is impossible to dispatch an army of more than 100,000 people by relying on the general's verbal orders.
As hundreds of messenger cavalry galloped, the phalanxes stopped marching one by one.
Soldiers in sharp black armor spread for dozens of miles, a dense mass of darkness.
A dense phalanx of thousands of people covered the plains in the northern part of the hills.
The 300,000 Fubo troops stopped marching and were in a state of solemn killing. At this moment, the soldiers were fierce and powerful, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
The samurai of Iwaya Castle couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw the enemy formation like a black cloud.
This time, the Xia army came with all their strength, and the number of troops they used was said to be three million!
Only Xia Jun himself knows how many.
Among Bai Qi's military formations, there were also large crossbows and military chariots.
The Kyushu War is more like a large-scale offensive.
Not only the main castle of Iwaya Castle, but also the earthen forts and arrow towers of the daimyo around Iwaya Castle were targeted.
"In front of us is Iwaya Castle where the Japanese army gathers. We only need to capture this castle to conquer Kyushu Island. According to their Japanese terminology, it should be...Kyushu dominance."
Bai Qi looked at Iwaya Castle, which was built on the mountain. It was obvious that, like Tachibana Castle, this was also a mountain castle.
In addition to the Main Maru where the castle tower is located, Iwaya Castle also has Ninomaru and Sannomaru.
The relationship between Honmaru and Ninomaru can be understood as the relationship between the Central Plains City, the inner city and the outer city. If Ninomaru is defeated, there is still Honmaru to defend.
Bai Qi's purpose was to capture Iwaya Castle and destroy the main force of the Japanese army.
Of the 860,000 Xia troops, Bai Qi only brought 300,000 as the main force. His confidence in himself was unparalleled.
But Bai Qi does have such confidence.
Bai Qi's high attack bonus turned the Fubo army ashore into a terrifying army.
After Bai stood up, there were three thousand Iron Eagle warriors.
The iron eagle warrior holds a halberd and a long sword hanging on his waist, filled with murderous intent.
This kind of elite, selected from the Qin army, is a ninth-level soldier with unparalleled combat power, which is better than ordinary Qin warriors.
The iron eagle warriors cooperated with Bai Qi and became the most terrifying combat power in Bai Qi's army.
Gan Ning took the Jinfan thieves into the battle, and naval generals such as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Zheng Zhilong also followed Bai Qi to make up for the lack of military generals on the east route.
The main force of the Daxia Dynasty marched westward, and the east route was only a partial division, so the naval generals also had to go ashore to fight.
Although they are naval generals, they have a fighting heart.
A navy who cannot fight in the field is not a good navy.
Bai Qi, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun attacked Iwaya City head-on, while Yue Fei and Chu Wu approached Iwaya City from the east and confronted the coalition forces composed of the Eastern Kingdom's daimyo.
This time, Chuwu needs to deal with Kenshin Uesugi, the Dragon of Echigo in the "Dragon and Tiger" of the Japanese Warring States Period.
Chu Wu could already see the outline of Iwaya Castle on the mountain.
Iwaya Castle is integrated with the entire mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are layers of castle walls. It has obviously been reinforced and strengthened, using countless drawings by Japanese daimyo.
The 210,000-strong army was deployed, and the Yuejia Army and the East Palace Guards formed a fan shape to besiege the eastern mountains of Iwaya City.
"Why do you insist on taking Kyushu Island?"
Among the tasks Chu Wu received, Chu Tian ordered him to capture Kyushu Island as soon as possible. As for whether he could quickly conquer Honshu Island, it was not the primary goal.
Chu Wu could see Chu Tian’s persistence in Kyushu Island.
Chu Wu didn't know that Chu Tian had a hidden general named Bei Mihu from the Japanese civilization under his command.
Himiko's special unit "Miko" can only be recruited after occupying Kyushu Island.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Kyushu Island was once the territory of Yamatai Kingdom, and the source of the shrine maidens’ soldiers were girls from Kyushu Island.
Chu Wu didn't know the reason. He only thought that his father wanted to conquer Kyushu Island.
as merit.
After the Xia army arrived at the outer defense line of Iwaya Castle, they immediately assembled siege equipment such as siege towers, ladders, ladders, carts, and trebuchets.
Xia Jun had experienced hundreds of battles and was already familiar with attacking difficult situations and driving with ease.
"According to the intelligence of the ninjas of the Hojo family's Fuma clan and my experience in fighting with them, the general flag should be the legion of the Crown Prince of the Daxia Dynasty. Lord Kenshin, if you can defeat the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty, The prince must be famous in the Central Plains."
Date Masamune encouraged Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo, to attack Chuwu's East Palace Guards in order to change the situation of the war.
Uesugi Kenshin's face was even paler than the last time he fought, as white as a piece of paper.
Date Masamune also knew that Uesugi Kenshin's time was running out, and wanted to use Uesugi Kenshin's last ability to reverse the situation.
"The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty..."
Uesugi Kenshin looked at the direction of Chuwu's East Palace Guards, summoned the retainers of the Uesugi family in Echigo Kingdom, and deployed the "Car Hanging Formation".
"Whether the Echigo Army becomes famous in one battle or turns into ashes in troubled times depends on you."
Uesugi Kenshin has made his final fight, exchanging his life for the final glory of the Echigo Legion.
The Uesugi family retainers were silent.
Once Uesugi Kenshin is killed in battle, the Uesugi family will decline.
But it doesn't matter. If they lose to Xia Jun, the consequences will be more serious, and all the daimyo's territory will be confiscated.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, Date Munemasa, and Takeda Tadayoshi looked at each other. This time Uesugi Kenshin will activate the SSS-level characteristic "Bishamonten" to make the last big gamble in his life.
"Bishamonten", like "Joan of Arc", is a top-level motivational trait.
The ancient Chinese civilization also had similar SSS-level incentive characteristics, but it has not yet appeared.
The Liaodong Army and the Korean Army led by Le Yi and Li Chenggui are in position on the west side of Iwaya City!
An army of 860,000 formed a pincer attack on Iwaya Castle from three directions!
War eagles soared in the sky, and scout cavalry ran back and forth. The three armies of Xia's army kept in contact at all times to ensure that the three armies cooperated with each other instead of fighting independently.
Finally, after the craftsmen made a large number of siege equipment, the Xia army began to storm Iwaya Castle!
The largest joint war in the history of the four Japanese islands broke out, with more than two million soldiers and auxiliaries participating in the war!
"attack!"
Chuwu personally held the general's flag and waved it forward vigorously. The dragon flag was fluttering. Five thousand Black Cloud Long Sword Army Commanders, ten thousand Tachibana Ie Ashigaru, ten thousand Natsu Army low-level infantrymen, and ten thousand Natsu Army archers attacked the Echigo Army. line of defense!
Last time Chu Wu was attacked, but this time the offensive and defensive positions changed, Chu Wu was on the full offensive side!
Zhuge Liang sent two thousand crossbowmen to coordinate the advance of the Black Cloud Long Sword Army.
Tachibana Ieashi lightly held the Japanese characteristic bamboo bundle - a kind of armor made of bamboo, which can reduce the damage caused by firecrackers, bows and arrows, and crossbows.
The low-ranking infantrymen of the Black Cloud Long Sword Army and the Xia Army were holding leather shields, wooden shields, or pushing carts as they advanced towards Uesugi Kenshin's army. From time to time, crossbow arrows fired from crossbows made a sound of breaking through the air and fell into the military formations of both sides. !
A carriage was shot through by a Japanese crossbow, and the archers hiding behind were instantly killed by the thick crossbows!
Hundreds of carts were still moving towards the Japanese defense line.
The Xia army's carriages, shields, and bamboo bundles formed a moving wall, confronting the Japanese army's earthen fortress!
Dozens of Xia army archers fired their bows and arrows to test the range, and landed on the edge of the earthen fortress.
When the Xia army took another ten steps forward, the archers who were behind the carriages and bamboo beams began to fire at the Japanese army's earthen fortress, suppressing the enemy!
Two thousand Zhuge company crossbowmen fired 20,000 individual crossbow arrows in a very short period of time. The dense and fast crossbow arrows killed hundreds of samurai and ashigaru of the Echigo regiment, and also injured many enemy soldiers!
The company's crossbowmen are slow to reload and difficult to supply, but when they explode, they are extremely powerful. Two thousand Zhuge company crossbowmen are equivalent to 20,000 ordinary crossbowmen!
The Echigo regiment never thought that the two thousand crossbowmen covering behind the carriage could have such combat power. Many samurai and ashigaru who took the lead were shot dead by Zhuge's crossbows, and they were a little shocked for a while.
Ten thousand archers of the Natsu Army held trestle bows, five thousand bows of the Tachibana family and ashigaru held bamboo bows. Fifteen thousand arrows poured down near the earthen forts of the Echigo Army. The dense rain of arrows shot many of the earthen forts into hedgehogs. !
At this time, Yang Xingmi led 5,000 black cloud sword troops, 5,000 Tachibana long gun ashigaru, and 10,000 low-level sword and shield infantry, a total of 20,000 people. Under the cover of long-range troops, they braved the rain of arrows from the Echigo Legion. , launch an attack!
The sword energy of the Black Cloud Long Sword Army is in full swing!
The twin swords of the Tachibana family, Yubu Yunobu and Ono Zhenyuki, holding naginata, led the Tachibana family's "Shadow Style Long Sword Cutting Team" to deal with the former allies.
When the East Palace Guards launched an attack, Yue Fei ordered his deputy Zhang Xian to attack the enemy's position tentatively, and then sent Tian Ji's Qi Martial Arts to cover.
It is currently known that the east side of Iwaya Castle is defended by a coalition of Togoku daimyo. Their specific deployment needs to be tested with troops.
After dismounting, the Beiwei army wearing heavy armor and holding a long ax can be used as heavy armored infantry!
As long as Zhang Xian tests the truth, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing can lead the Wei army and forcefully break through the opponent's defense line.
"Are these big names afraid of our heavy cavalry, so they choose to rely on mountain cities for defense? But it is not a cause for concern. After the heavy armored cavalry dismounts, their combat power will not be much weaker..."
Yue Fei was confident in the combat power of Beiwei Army.
Just like the attributes of naval soldiers will decrease after they go ashore, some skills and characteristics will become invalid after heavy cavalry dismounts. However, the heavy cavalry equipped with iron armor still has quite exaggerated attack power and defense power.
Since the Japanese daimyo dare not face the cavalry of the Cowardly Beiwei Army head-on, let them experience the terror of the Cowardly Beiwei Army's cavalry on foot after dismounting.
The Yue Family Army, the Togiya Guards and the Togoku Daimyos fought in the eastern hills. Yang Xingmi led the Black Cloud Long Sword Army to fight against the Echigo Army!
The Black Cloud Long Sword Army used their sword energy to cut off the long spears of the Ashigaru Army. Many Black Cloud Long Sword Army soldiers even crossed the earthen barrier, and their long swords harvested the lives of the Echigo Legion samurai and Ashigaru!
Yang Xingmi's 5,000 Black Cloud Long Sword Army is also a terrifying fighting force once the number is complete!
Yubu Yasinobu and Ono Zhenyuki led the samurai of the Tachibana family to attack with all their strength.
The Tachibana family has become an outlier among the daimyo. If the daimyo wins, the Tachibana family will also suffer a serious fate.
Therefore, the Tachibana family's Kage-ryu Nagato slashed into the team and had no choice but to go all out.
The generals of the Echigo Legion led their troops and tried their best to suppress the Black Cloud Long Sword Army and the Shadow Stream Long Sword Army that had invaded the interior of the earthen fortress.
Zhuge's crossbowmen, low-level archers, and ashigaru bows and arrows were still throwing rain of arrows to cover more Xia troops attacking the earthen base.
Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo, stood on the arrow tower of the stone wall on the higher floor, commanding the entire Echigo Army: "If the number of troops becomes smaller and smaller, then the effect of 'Bishamonten' will be reduced, and we can only I used my last resort to ask Bishamonten for help..."
