Chapter 1063

On June 19th of the fifth year of Gaia, the royal city of Edo.

After a short rest, Han Xin commanded the North Route Army to launch a tentative attack on Edo. This fight lasted for a whole day, and all the troops took turns to fight, one was to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and the other was to find the weak points of the city wall defense.

Therefore, although the fight was lively on this day, the two sides did not suffer too much loss, which can be regarded as a warm-up.

"Enemy musketeers are not easy."

This is Han Xin's first conclusion. Oda Nobunaga's use of the musketeers really refreshed Han Xin, and he felt a little teachable. Needless to say, this is the shortcoming of the Great Xia generals.

Ouyang Shuo said with a smile, "Then take Oda Nobunaga back to Daxia as the coach."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Han Xin laughed.

…………

From the second day onwards, Han Xin became serious.

Especially the north and the east launched the most ferocious attack on Edo at the same time. Various equipment such as artillery, trebuchets, mobile arrow towers, and mimic aircraft were all put on the battlefield by Han Xin one by one.

Edo's moat is not a natural moat in front of the expeditionary army.

The Gewu Academy led by Mozi recently developed a new type of siege tool—the trestle bridge, which can be folded and stored away when not in use, and can be pulled away with three carriages.

When attacking the city, as long as the trestle bridge is unfolded, the army can easily cross the moat.

With this siege weapon, the Great Xia Army no longer needed to resort to simple methods when attacking the city, and used sand and human lives to fill the river, and the efficiency was increased by more than four or five times.

This is the power of technology.

Influenced by the times, Mohism is also advancing with the times, bringing forth the new through the old.

The change of Mohism is just a microcosm of the transformation of the Great Xia philosophers and hundreds of schools. Each school is striving to innovate so that its theory can adapt to the development of the new era.

Otherwise, it can only be eliminated.

It is reported that some people in Daxia territory have already started to form a new school to challenge the old schools of thought. This is another new, interesting and pioneering change.

It means that Daxia's academic level has risen to a new level.

Another whole day.

Under the onslaught of the North Route Army, Edo Castle stood still, like a city of steel.

As the sun sets, the ground is red again.

For the soldiers who are used to the military life, they have long been accustomed to such a sea of ​​corpses and blood. Some soldiers directly hold two steamed buns, sit on the corpses and gobble them up without any scruples.

Veterans are an asset.

Today's siege of the city was not very smooth. Edo's city defenses were beyond imagination. After half a year of preparations, it was indeed not possible to break through in a day or two.

On the top of the city, Keisuke Honda stood side by side with Nobunaga Oda.

Two days later, Keisuke Honda couldn't understand the enemy army outside the city, "Are they really crazy?" With his style of acting, he couldn't understand why the opponent was so obsessed.

"Doing what you know you can't do, stupid!"

Oda Nobunaga thought differently. As a general, he only had to consider the situation of the battle, and said, "My lord, the enemy's attack center of gravity should be on the east."

Keisuke Honda was puzzled, "Looking at today's situation, the attack strength from the north and the east is about the same. Why did the general conclude that the enemy must focus on attacking the east?"

"Different."

Oda Nobunaga was very confident, "The enemy generals are very cunning. Although they have made various arrangements, they still cannot conceal their true motives. The fierce attack from the north is just an illusion."

Hearing this, Keisuke Honda didn't continue to entangle.

In this specific battle, Keisuke Honda couldn't stand side by side with Nobunaga Oda.

Oda Nobunaga asked: "Master, do you want to mobilize the army from the east to reinforce the east?"

Keisuke Honda thought for a while, and said: "Wait another day, make sure, be careful and make no big mistakes." He was still a little worried.

"clear!"

…………

The attack of the Northern Route Army on the 21st was as brave as pity.

Especially in the east, the Flame Army led by Guo Ziyi fought very resolutely. This heroic army, which had made outstanding achievements in the battlefield of Dongying, was once again the vanguard of the siege.

In just 20 days, the Flame Army killed more than 60,000 people, with an average of 3,000 people killed every day, which is equivalent to knocking out more than half of the legion. Although Feng Prisonhuang felt distressed, her attitude was still very firm.

Feng Prison Huang's determination is correct.

Although the Flame Army suffered heavy casualties, after this tough battle, the entire team has begun to transform. Unlike the Great Xia Army who often fight big battles, except on the battle map, the Flame Army rarely has a chance to fight.

This kind of tempering is exactly what the Flame Army needs.

Under the repeated onslaught of the Flame Army, the defense of the east side of Edo Castle was finally challenged. Beginning in the afternoon, soldiers of the Raging Flame Army continued to successfully attack the top of the city, tearing apart the Edo defense line.

Although they fought back one by one, Oda Nobunaga still felt tight.

If you don't adjust the army's defense, once the gap is torn open, Edo Castle may really be torn apart by the enemy. Seeing this, Keisuke Honda agreed with Oda Nobunaga's strategy of deploying troops without saying anything.

In Oda Nobunaga's view, the enemy is adopting the typical Chinese tactics of "encircling three and missing one". Except for the west, the other three sides may be the main direction of the enemy's attack.

After two days of observation, Oda Nobunaga was convinced that the east was the real target of the enemy.

That night, the troops stationed on the west side of Edo Castle began to move eastward. At the same time, some troops from the north and the south also moved to the east.

Overnight, Oda Nobunaga quietly strengthened the east defense.

Oda Nobunaga was not worried about the enemy's tricks. They already knew exactly how many troops there were in the Huaxia North Route Army.

Moreover, Dongpu is surrounded by the sea, and it is impossible for Huaxia to send reinforcements in a short time.

Those who can come are already on the battlefield.

If the enemy army wants to attack east and west, they must mobilize troops on a large scale, and they must not escape the eyes of Oda Nobunaga. In that case, the mobilization of troops inside the city will definitely be faster than outside the city.

Oda Nobunaga would only be happy if the enemy really wanted to do that, it meant a chance to defeat the enemy.

…………

June twenty-second.

Early in the morning, the Huaxia North Route Army began to get busy. The soldiers were awakened from sleep by the captain, hurriedly finished three steamed buns and a bowl of hot porridge, began to check their weapons and equipment, and assembled for the school grounds.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the armies on all sides had left the barracks and had finished forming in front of the city wall.

Looking around, there are many swords and guns, the military is at its peak, its bearing is strict, and it is full of murderous intent. As the sea breeze blew, the military flags fluttered, and each flag represented a legion.

The phoenix of the Lieyan Army, the flying leopard of the Baotao Army, the fierce tiger of the Huben Army, the black eagle of the Yingyang Army, and the Tang sword and shield of the City Guard Army are all lifelike, telling legends one by one.

These are troops with a glorious history.

Among the military formations, there are also elite regiments. Although their equipment is varied, after more than 20 days of running-in, they are no different from the army, advancing and retreating at a certain pace.

Especially the elite group of the super guild has long been required by the regular army.

For the guild, such a battle is also a tempering. The elite group that survived on the battlefield will display even more astonishing combat effectiveness in future adventures in the underground world.

War destroys life, but also tempers people.

"Woo~~~~"

Trumpets sounded, followed by drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

For millions of soldiers, another day of fighting has begun.

The same charge, there is no difference; the only difference is that I don't know how many compatriots will never return after this charge retreats at night.

Back in the camp, I don't know how many beds will be vacant.

"See you tonight!"

The soldiers greeted each other like this, and under the leadership of Ying Zheng, they charged without hesitation.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The sound of killing and cutting came and went from all directions.

On the top of the city, Oda Nobunaga saw that the enemy army was still in the same arrangement as yesterday, and he felt relieved. With this arrangement, the enemy will never be able to attack Edo Castle.

"If you stick to it for another week, you will win." Oda Nobunaga cheered secretly in his heart.

As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Oda Nobunaga was under tremendous pressure. Once the city was broken, tens of millions of people in the city would suffer, and Oda Nobunaga could not sleep at night.

The strength of the enemy army is really frightening. Only a considerable number of troops can fight such a high-quality siege battle. Looking at ancient and modern times, few people can do it.

Bingxian Han Xin deserves his name.

Of course, the soldiers of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army are also very strong and their morale is high.

"Edo will definitely be able to defend!"

Oda Nobunaga's eyes were firm, and he turned to inspect the other city walls. Wherever Oda Nobunaga went, the soldiers around him would look at him with admiration. Obviously, in the Japanese army, Oda Nobunaga has unparalleled prestige.

This makes Oda Nobunaga tread on eggshells.

…………

At 9:00 a.m., Dongdaying.

Last night Ouyang Shuo had quietly moved here from the north, the purpose is self-evident.

Seeing that the siege battle has entered a rhythm, and the Dongpu defenders have been successfully restrained, Han Xin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can start!"

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Go, go outside!"

A group of people rode horses to the outside of the barracks, and further ahead was the battlefield for fighting.

Ouyang Shuo stood still, clicked on the National War page in the attribute panel, and chose to call the imperial army to help in the battle.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi. The Huaxia region meets the setting requirements for summoning forbidden troops in the national war. According to the total number of Chinese forbidden troops, 500,000 forbidden troops can be summoned to assist in the battle. Please choose the number of summons! Friendly reminder: Gold coins are required for each summoned person Ten, please choose carefully and make sure you have enough funds."

According to Gaia, because it is to aid in the battle, the summoned forbidden army will unconditionally obey the command of the leader of the national war. At the end of the war, the remaining forbidden troops will be automatically sent back to the royal city without repeated billing.

"Summon 500,000 people." Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

"System prompt: The number of summoners is confirmed. Please choose which royal city, or the forbidden army of which royal cities, to summon. Friendly reminder: There are no emperors in the two royal cities of Kyoto and Jianye, so they cannot be summoned."

Ouyang Shuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Summon 500,000 imperial guards from the Dali Imperial City." Since it was a reasonable setting, Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't mind cheating the Dali Kingdom, laying the groundwork for the future attack on Dali and removing obstacles.

"System prompt: The summoning request is reasonable, five million gold coins will be deducted automatically, and the summoning will begin!"
