Chapter 920 Fight Against Oda Nobunaga!

150,000 Han troops and 60,000 Tsarist Russian troops assembled under the city, a large number of trebuchets and bed crossbows roared, and stones and crossbow bolts were thrown, destroying the arrow towers and city walls!

Chutian can directly manufacture Xiangyang cannons, projecting hundreds of catties of boulders and fireballs. The cracked fireballs cause broken flames to spread on the city walls, and smoke is everywhere!

Siege weapons such as siege chariots, siege towers, and ladder carts were pushed up by ancient Indian soldiers to storm the city of Dongying!

During the replenishment of soldiers and horses, Chu Tian imagined that there might be a tragic siege battle, so he made a lot of siege equipment.

The Hongyi cannon has not been used yet, and the number of solid bullets is limited, so it must be used sparingly.

The Xiangyang Cannon was powerful enough to shake most city walls.

The first group sent to attack the city were 10,000 ancient Indian infantry and archers. This was one of the extra rewards Chutian got after defeating King Moon Guardian.

None of Chutian's generals was suitable to command the ancient Indian infantry, so Chutian simply used the ancient Indian infantry as cannon fodder to drain the defenders' strength.

The ancient Indian infantry, wrapped in turbans and almost without decent armor, carried crude ladders and braved the dense arrow rain to set up the ladders to open the passage to the city wall for the Han army behind.

At the same time, the ancient Indian infantry filled the trenches and moats, and pushed huge siege towers to approach the city walls!

boom!

A fireball fell on the city wall and exploded beside Tokugawa Ieyasu. Honda Tadakatsu held a dragonfly knife and blocked the flying debris for Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, the city is in danger and retreat!"

"The military power of the Han army is so strong."

Tokugawa Ieyasu saw dozens of Xiangyang guns and hundreds of bed crossbows concentrating on bombarding a city, and couldn't help being afraid.

After Chutian acquired the Xiangyang Cannon of the Mongol Empire, it was often used to attack the city, and it was more convenient to supply than the Hongyi Cannon.

As soon as the Han army came up, they used a large number of Xiangyang cannons and bed crossbows. Hundreds of Dongying warriors and ashigaru archers were killed, and the defenders on the city wall fell.

Even Tadakatsu Honda, who had a relatively high force in Japan, did not dare to catch the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon.

When the Dongying Army was on the defensive, ten thousand ancient Indian infantrymen had already approached the city wall with ladders. The iron artillery team and ashigaru archers shot at the ancient Indian infantry soldiers. Teams of ancient Indian soldiers who lacked armor were shot and killed, and the ladders fell to the ground. There is a lot of chaos, but there are still ladders hooked to the edge of the city wall. The ancient Indian infantry held wooden shields, climbed the city wall, and fought with the warriors on the city wall!

Stones and fire oil rolled down from the top of the city, and ancient Indian infantrymen were constantly being hit and rolled down from mid-air.

Chu Tian led a group of generals to watch the battle below the city. Chu Tian didn't care about consuming 10,000 ancient Indian soldiers.

The meaning of these arms is cannon fodder, which consumes the arrows and lead bullets of the Japanese army.

"Wei Wuzu is ready to attack the city."

Wu Qi sent 10,000 Wei soldiers and 20,000 low-level infantry as the second batch of siege troops, Jianyan Crossbowmen and Shenji Battalion to provide cover.

Oda Nobunaga and other daimyos and generals have experienced the most tragic battle since the Japanese Civil War. 210,000 Han troops and Tsarist Russian troops besieged 150,000 Japanese troops in a city. With all the arrows in hand, there is almost no place to stand on the city wall!

The samurai in Japan were fierce and aggressive, but they were not easily defeated. Groups of samurai came to the city wall, trying to suppress the siege troops, and shot at the attacking Han army with powerful crossbows.

The bed crossbow erected on the city wall made a sharp whistling sound, and shot and killed two Wei soldiers. The crossbow arrows sank into the ground and were stained with blood!

"Use the Iron Cannon Squad!"

Oda Nobunaga ordered the iron artillery team to go to the city. The iron artillery team formed three rows and took turns shooting at the enemy below!

Arrow rain covered the battlefield, white gunpowder smoke filled the air, sharp samurai swords chopped down the siege soldiers who climbed the city, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth!

The Japanese generals and samurai who served as the reserve team in the city were frightened.

Even if they have a strong city to hold on to, it will be an extremely tragic battle.

Oda Nobunaga arranged for the six legions to take turns to defend the main wall of the Han army, so as to have enough time to restore morale and physical strength.

The large trebuchets brought by the Han army had a great impact on the morale of the defenders. If the battle continued, the defenders of Japan might collapse due to the decline in morale.

The first one responsible for defending the city was Oda Nobunaga's own army. The iron artillery team used matchlock guns to forcefully suppress the opponent's momentum, but it also meant that Oda Nobunaga's iron artillery team was attacked by trebuchets, bed crossbows, Baptized by the rain of arrows, the loss continued.

Oda Nobunaga's eyes twitched.

Fortunately, the national war can be revived this time, otherwise Oda Nobunaga will be in pain if the precious Iron Cannon Team is lost.

"The iron cannon team of the Oda family is almost unique in the world."

Uesugi Kenshin is good at cavalry and infantry, but not good at iron cannons.

"It seems that Oda Nobunaga also knows that the Iron Cannon Team is mobilized so quickly, and the pressure this time is unprecedented."

Takeda Tadashi knew that Oda Nobunaga spared no expense to build a sizable iron cannon team, and he sent the Oda Iron Cannon team directly from the beginning of the defense battle.

The Satsuma samurai and iron artillery team of the Shimadzu Legion are preparing for battle in the city, preparing to take over from the Oda Legion to defend the city after the Oda Legion is exhausted.

Although the population of the Shimadzu family is small, the proportion of samurai born is very high.

Samurai belong to the elite arms of the Japanese civilization.

The boulders thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon kept bombarding the city wall, and the Satsuma warriors were wiping their katanas.

When the Oda Legion retreated, the Satsuma Samurai and Shimadzu Iron Cannons entered the battle.

This is still so difficult under the premise of defending the city. If you want to fight in the field, you can only rely on the iron artillery team of the Oda family and the Shimadzu family, the cavalry from the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, and the samurai from Satsuma.

The attacks of the Han army continued, and Ekaterina also sent soldiers to attack the city.

The two armies were caught in a meat-grinding battle, and five Hongyi cannons were ordered to bombard the city wall. With a loud noise, five solid bullets severely damaged a stone arrow tower, and a samurai was hit by a solid bullet, bloody and bloody!

The Hongyi cannon just bombarded the city symbolically, and hit the morale of the Japanese defenders.

"One of the characteristics of the Japanese civilization is the iron cannon team that was rampant during the Warring States period. If you can get the iron cannon team in Dongying and strengthen the Shenji Battalion, then..."

Chutian began to covet Japan's iron artillery units.

Chutian's forces can produce matchlock guns, but they lack arms. Currently, only the Shenji Battalion can equip matchlock guns.

Although the land of Dongying is not large, it happened to be in the Warring States period of Dongying, which was equivalent to the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Iron artillery teams were relatively common. What Chutian needed were firearms that could be equipped with matchlock guns.

In the future, I will try to plunder the Iron Artillery Team of Japan. It would be best if I could get a similar soldier talisman.

The iron cannon team is more powerful when defending the city. The disadvantage is that in "The Lord", the production speed of black powder is not fast. If it consumes too much, it may not be able to defend the city.

Chutian sent the Shenji Battalion, together with Jianyan crossbowmen and Wei soldiers equipped with Shenarm bows, to forcibly suppress the Iron Cannon Team, allowing the infantry to take advantage of it.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for three days and three nights, and the price paid was tens of thousands.

There were already conflicts between the Han Empire and Dongying, so when they fought, both sides became angry.

Oda Nobunaga's 3,000 iron cannons killed more than 1,500 people. As for the samurai and ashigaru, there were even more dead bodies.

Bodies, armor, shields and stones were piled up under the city, and black smoke filled the city.

In three days, the trebuchets of the Han army threw at least a thousand boulders into the city. More than 1,000 defenders were directly killed by the stones, and another 1,000 soldiers were injured by fireballs or gravel.

Dozens of arrow towers in the city were either destroyed or severely damaged, and the archers could not gain a foothold.

"The Oda family killed 15,400, the Shimadzu family 7,200, the Takeda family 6,500, the Mori family 7,000, the Uesugi family 7,100, and the Tokugawa family 6,700. In three days, a total of 50,000 people were killed. "

Military division Hanbei Takenaka counted the number of casualties, and the Han army's high-intensity siege continued for three days, causing heavy damage to the six daimyo corps.

The Dongying Army had 150,000 people, and lost one-third of its strength at once.

If it is not possible to be resurrected, perhaps the Japanese army is close to the brink of collapse.

"Haven't the Romans come yet?"

Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to use his own strength to defeat Chutian, but now it seems that the Dongying army has been extremely difficult just to defend the city. In the field battle, they may have been defeated by the Han army.

The Hongyi cannons of the Han army fired 30 solid bullets into the city one after another, knocking down a wooden house, and several unlucky warriors were hit by the solid bullets that crossed the city wall and died instantly, causing panic in the city.

Therefore, no matter Oda Nobunaga or Takeda Tadyoshi and others, they all hope that the Romans can come to rescue themselves.

Otherwise, if this continues, the city will fall sooner or later.

"Oda Nobunaga may have the characteristics of 'three-stage strike' and 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King', while the Shimadzu family may have the characteristic of 'Wild Fishing Volcano', and the Takeda family's 'Fenglin Volcano', and the Uesugi family's 'The Dragon of Echigo'..."

When Chutian was besieging the city, he could already guess the abilities of some famous people.

Some characteristics may be similar, such as Oda Nobunaga's characteristic "three-stage strike", Xia Liang actually has it...

As for the "Fenglin Volcano" of the Takeda family, Sun Wu, the soldier saint, may also have it.

Relying on the fortified city, the iron artillery team, and the samurai to defend, the Dongying army is more tenacious than Chutian imagined.

"My lord, the iron eagle scouts have spotted the Roman Empire's army!"

On the fourth day of the siege, as Chutian estimated, the two emperors of the Roman Empire finally chose to support Oda Nobunaga in order to contain the increasingly powerful Chutian.

Western emperors and kings have realized the threat posed by Chutian.

More far-sighted, Alexander regarded Chutian as his strongest enemy, while Hohenzollern was committed to forming the Western Continental Kingdom Army, and wanted to become the Lord of Europe like Charlemagne.

"It's been a long time since I fought against Rome. The two eagle flags of the Roman legion are still indebted. I heard that Rome exchanged more eagle flags in the last national war. There should be 31 Roman legions now?"

Chu Tian thought of the Roman eagle flag placed in the warehouse of Prince Xia's Mansion, but Chu Tian really didn't pay much attention to it.
