Warring States Eagle

After stationing at the base of Xinmu Castle, Zhengliang did not rush to attack immediately, but first controlled the castle town first, and then put martial law in all nearby places.At noon, two groups of people from Tianyewei City and Wanheli City also arrived one after another.Nearly [-] Luo family soldiers surrounded Xinmu City, and the battle was imminent.

In the main tent under Xinmu City, everyone gathered together.

"How is the situation along the road on your side?" Masara asked Hirasa Masatada and Kosuke who were under the tent.

"Your Highness, as soon as our troops crossed the Wanheli River, the guards on the other side's border fled before there was a formal battle. The subject just chased after him for a while, and immediately continued to march here. There was no obstacle along the way. "Xingsuke was the first to report.

"The situation here is the same for the ministers. Presumably, the people who are responsible for guarding the border are mainly peasants and soldiers recruited forcibly. They were originally unwilling to do these coolies at the critical moment of the autumn harvest. Now our family's Raider Shangcang Family just gave them the opportunity to escape. Excuses," Hirasa Masatada said.

"Well, it seems that everything is going well so far. In addition, do you have a better way for this cage city?" Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"Your Highness, the opponent's city is built on the top of a hill, I'm afraid the only way is to forcibly cage the city." Xingsuke shook his head and said.According to past experience, the only way to attack the city is to use crowd tactics.

"Your Highness, why don't you follow the way you captured Tiano Castle last time and attack at night?" Hirazuo Masataka suggested after thinking about it.

"Master Zhengzhong, the last time His Royal Highness was able to climb the earthen wall and enter the city when the other party was unsuspecting. Now the Shangcang family is waiting in full force. This method seems unfeasible, and if it fails, it will also have a great blow to morale." Xingsuke immediately shook his head and objected, "It's better to imitate His Highness's method of capturing Sayama Castle last time. After dark, harass the opponent repeatedly, and finally take down with one fell swoop."

"This method seems to be feasible," Hirasa Masatada agreed.

"No, we want to take Xinmucheng down this afternoon," Zheng Liang waved his hands and vetoed it.

"Ah?" The two retainers below were stunned by the Patriarch's decision.They have never seen a heavily guarded mountain city forcibly captured within half a day.is it possible?

"Although the people in the Shangcang family's territory are full of grievances, there will always be some loyal citizens, and there are also those pirates. These people should be able to arrive one after another in the afternoon. By then, the family will not have enough energy to simultaneously We have to deal with these people, so we must rush to capture Xinmu City before these people arrive. Those measures just now can only be implemented at night, and the time is obviously not allowed," Zheng Liang made a brief analysis.

"Your Highness, it seems a little difficult to force the cage city with the current strength of our family," Hirazuo Masatada remonstrated tactfully.The Luo family's standing troops were not many in the first place, and if they suffered too much damage during the siege, it would be a bit of a waste.

"Hehe, I've figured out a way." Zheng Liang smiled slightly, and then shouted loudly, "Suddenly it works!"

"Your Highness" Hu Natong who was outside the tent immediately bowed and entered the tent.

"Is everything ready?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, the preparations have been made according to your instructions." Hu Natong replied.

"Your Highness, this..." Xingsuke and Hirasa Masatada were confused.

"Hahaha, you will know later." Zheng Liang didn't give a positive analysis, and continued to order, "You go down and arrange for the staff to have a full meal. After lunch, we will immediately attack the city."

"Yes, Your Highness." Since the Patriarch had no intention of explaining now, all the retainers had no choice but to follow the order.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Although September is about to enter, the temperature is still relatively high.Wearing a belly roll that had been wiped brightly, Zheng Liang was also sweating profusely.

"Archers, get ready," Zheng Liang ordered to the group of archers lined up, "Shoot!"

Following Zheng Liang's order, the long arrows shot towards the Xinmu City above like drizzle, and the guards on the earthen wall immediately hid under the earthen wall to avoid being shot.

"Huoyou, go up." Seeing that the guards on the other side's dirt wall were suppressed by bows and arrows, Zheng Liang immediately issued a second order.A few ashigaru holding wooden boards borrowed from a nearby house in Machimen immediately walked quickly to the gate of Shinki Castle.

"They're attacking the city, hurry up, stop them," Uemakura Yuno, who was standing in the castle tower, shouted immediately upon seeing this.A samurai behind him immediately turned around and ran downstairs.

"Whoo, whoosh, whoosh..." The guards who received the order immediately risked being shot by the arrows shot from below the city, and kept shooting arrows at the soldiers of the Luo family who were approaching the city gate.The arrows hit the wooden boards and made a sound of hitting.

"Archers, you don't need to worry about the wear and tear of your arrows, just shoot me hard," Zheng Liang ordered immediately.The attack on the city must be suppressed at all costs.After receiving the order, dozens of archers immediately shot arrows at the city without stopping, scaring the city guards who came out of their heads back to the earth wall again.

"No, the city gate is on fire, quickly use water to put it out," a warrior near the city gate exclaimed.It turned out that the ashigaru members of the Luo family finally arrived at the city gate, and according to Zheng Liang's instructions, poured half a barrel of kerosene, which had been closely guarded, onto the wooden and iron structure of the city gate, and finally ignited the kerosene.

With a sound of "wow", the entire lower part of the city gate was immediately surrounded by everyone, and the ashigaru of Luo's family who was in charge of lighting the fire even had his eyebrows burnt out by the strung fire.

"Quick, quick, extinguish it!" shouted the warrior on the other side of the city gate.Buckets of clean water were immediately poured onto the burning city gate.But the fire seemed to have only subsided a little bit, but there was no sign of it being extinguished at all.The warriors of the Shangcang family who were in charge of guarding the city gate panicked, and immediately took the lead to continue watering the city gate.

Zheng Liang, who was closely watching the movement in the direction of the city gate, smiled slightly when he saw this.This way of extinguishing the fire is futile. You must know that this is kerosene that can burn on the sea. How can it be so easy to extinguish?What's more, it is watering on the other side of the city gate now, how effective can it be?

"Siege team, set off." Seeing that the city gate had been burning for a while, Zheng Liang knew that the best time to attack the city had come, so he ordered immediately.

A few ashigaru dressed in full body immediately lifted a log and rushed towards the city gate.

"The archers keep shooting, don't let them poke their heads out," Zheng Liang continued to order.

"Ah, what is that?" At this time, the Kamakura family who was in charge of putting out the fire at the city gate was already panicking.Anyone who sees a fire that seems incapable of being completely extinguished no matter how much water is poured will panic.

"Boom, boom, boom..." At this time, the Luo family's siege team outside the city had already started hitting the city gate with logs.

"Quick, find something to block the city gate." Seeing that the fire at the city gate could not be extinguished, Uemakura Xiye had no choice but to come down from the castle tower to direct it himself.

"Kang Dang" Shangcang Xiye's voice just fell when the severely burned city gate finally withstood the heavy blow and fell down, revealing an empty exit leading directly to the outside of the city.

"Fire Extinguisher" had already prepared a few Roche family Ashgaru outside the city gate and immediately pushed some soil onto the burning ground. "Kill!" Ping Zuo Zhengzhong, who had been prepared for a long time under the city, shouted, and led the troops of the Luo family to kill at the gate of the city.
