Warring States Eagle

Just when Cheng Xindong met with the in-laws of Wubu to discuss how to resist the Luo family's invading army, the Luo family's army had already arrived at the Kamio Castle of the Otsuyama family.

More than 300 Luo family troops lined up in the city.There seemed to be countless flags in the shape of eagles in the formation, scattered around Kamio City.

In addition to the members of the Luo family, some local wealthy clans belonging to the Dajinshan family and the flags and flags of Xiaoditou all appeared in the Luo family's camp at the same time.

This caused the morale of the defenders of the Otsuyama family on the head of Kamio City to drop sharply.Seeing that the opponent's army was several times stronger than his own, the Dajinshan family felt uncertain.

Under the watchful eyes of the Dajinshan guards in Kamio City, a team of nearly [-] people from the Luo family quickly approached the edge of Kamio City, and then began to line up again.

This army is composed of Arrow Ashgaru temporarily selected from various divisions, and their task is naturally to launch the first slope attack on Kamio City with bows and arrows.The Luo family's bow and arrow ashigaru are specially set up just like the spear ashigaru and iron cannon ashigaru. Usually their main training subject is archery.Every day, they have to use bamboo arrows to shoot at least [-] times at the target made of thatch in the training ground, and the hit rate is required to be no less than [-]%, otherwise they will be punished for extra training alone. Those who failed to meet the standards in March would be sent back to the peasants and soldiers with little treatment.Therefore, the archery skills of the Luo family's ashigaru are not bad at all.

At this time, the bow and arrow phalanx of the Luo family was 80 to [-] meters away from Kamio City. According to the range of bows and arrows such as ordinary bamboo bows and Marugi bows, the archers of the Otsuyama family in the city could not shoot into the bow and arrow phalanx of the Luo family. .Unless they have more powerful and expensive bows and arrows such as heavy rattan bows or even fetal bows.

When the bow and arrow phalanx stood again according to the shooting position.Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, who was the temporary commanding general, shouted loudly: "Hold the bow and arrow in your hand. Don't miss it. I'm aiming for you, everyone."

"Get ready, let go!"

Following the order of Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, more than two hundred soft and dull strings sounded, more than two hundred bows and arrows pierced the air and made a low whistle, and the sharp and sharp arrows rushed to the top of the city. On the head of the panic-stricken guards of Kamio City.

"Pfft..."

After a burst of "puff" sound of a hard object being shot, "puff, puff..." came another dull sound like a sack falling to the ground.

It turned out that the arrows of these bows killed more than a dozen guards in an instant, and the sound just now was the sound of these guards falling to the ground.

The standing staff of the Luo family are equipped with the most advanced fetal bows in the Warring States Period.Its shooting range is more than 200 meters, and the Luo family's archery team is 80 meters away from Kamio Seven.This is exactly within the difficult range of the bow tire bow.At such a close distance, the arrows fired by the bow tire bow are more powerful and penetrating.The howling arrows pierced through the fragile bodies of the guards on Kamio City, and the remaining kinetic energy made them continue to move forward without stopping, until they were blocked by hard blue bricks.

In an instant, dozens of guards were shot and killed by the Luo family, and the other guards in the city who had escaped the catastrophe immediately looked sideways. , They can be shot at seven or eighty meters away.Originally, I saw Luo's family set up an array seven or eighty meters away.With the city wall not afraid of shooting with bows and arrows, their courage is quite big.They all stood on the top of the city and pointed out the country, but how could they have thought that dozens of people were injured or injured in one blow from such a long distance, which made them feel so embarrassed, they were so frightened that they dared not raise their heads to expose them, for fear of falling into the same fate as a lesson learned.

"This... what kind of bow and arrow is this?" Dajin Shan Zidong also took out an arrow that just penetrated his sleeve with lingering fear, and then asked tremblingly.Just now, his right hand was almost pierced by a shooting arrow. If he hadn't reacted in time and moved the position of his arm in an instant, his right hand might have been destroyed at this time.

The few Otsuyama samurai around him couldn't answer Otsuyama Shitou's question, although they had all seen the Ashgaru of the Luo family's bow and arrow clan when they were ambushed by the Luo family last year in the territory of the Odai family in Higo Tamana County Powerful, but at that time, due to the long distance between the two sides, they couldn't feel the power of Luo's family's bows and arrows at all, but at this time they really saw the power of Luo's family's bows and arrows, but it was a bit late, and even because of this It paid the price of two unlucky ghosts being injured by arrows.

As for the situation above the city, Xinyin of Yuancheng Temple under the city naturally didn't know about it.The only thing he saw was that after the first round of arrows were shot, all the defenders on the city turned into shrunken turtles, and they all shrank under the city's head, not daring to raise their heads.This time, even the Iron Pao team didn't have to go out.

"Keep the formation and be ready to attack at any time." Seeing this scene, Yuancheng Temple Xinyin knew that the bow and arrow phalanx he led could only rest for a while.The following is the siege time for the Luo family's siege troops.

Sure enough, Xinyin of Yuancheng Temple soon saw that Zhengliang had issued an order to attack the city in an all-round way.Hundreds of standing guards carried the ladders and quickly approached the city wall of Kamio City.Behind him followed the siege troops of thousands of people.At the same time, the siege assault team composed of Masaragi's Banner also began to carry the giant tree towards the gate of Kamio City.

The guards of the Dajinshan family on the top of the city were still hiding behind the battlements. At this time, all of them were pale, holding weapons tightly in their hands, each of them opened their mouths slightly, and their hearts were beating violently.All of them looked tense, panting heavily.A round of bow and arrow shooting from Luo's family just now almost frightened them out of their wits.

It's just that no matter how violently attacked, there will still be people who are brave and not afraid of death.At this time, a samurai of the Otsuyama family who was in charge of commanding several farmers and soldiers nearby secretly tilted his head and carefully glanced outside from the gap in the battlements. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he let out a terrifying roar: "The enemy attacked Come up, get everything ready for me, when the enemy rushes under the city wall, shoot me hard."

Although he still has a bit of prestige, he can only command more than a dozen farmers and soldiers under his command, and not many other people obey his orders, and even a few warriors who are equal to him are suddenly displeased, as if depriving As if they had lost their authority, they issued various orders one after another, some were to guard the gate, and some were directly to stick to the main pill.Of course, although the orders are different, they all want to wait and see first.

As for Otsuyama Zidong himself, he had already been frightened by the arrow that shot through his sleeve just now, and he had already secretly returned to the meeting hall.It's just that when the enemy is attacking aggressively, the house governor himself, who is the main general, has disappeared. How can this make the people below have the courage to fight again?Soldiers are the courage of the general, the general is the soul of the soldier, if the general is gone, how can the soldier still have the soul to continue fighting?

Of course, it is obviously impossible for Otsuyama Zidong, who has never studied the art of war, to realize such a concept.The only thing he knew was that he had just been frightened. In order not to let more subordinates see his frightened appearance, he had no choice but to hide in the meeting hall first and take a rest.

It's just that after he took such a rest, the situation in the city became serious.Due to the lack of a unified command, the defenders were unable to concentrate their superior firepower against the Luo family's army that had begun to swarm up along the ladder leaning against the city wall.What's more, most of these defenders are farmers and soldiers recruited temporarily. Not only are their combat effectiveness mediocre, but what's more serious is that this is the first time they have seen someone attacking a city with such a strange ladder, and they were immediately frightened. Yes, the already low combat effectiveness dropped again and again.

When Dajin Shan Zidong realized that he should not leave the city at this time, and immediately appeared at the top of the city again, hundreds of people from the Luo family's army had already killed the top of the city, and some even rushed towards the city gate in an attempt to open the city. The door is closed.

"My lord, this city can no longer hold on, we'll take advantage of the chaos and flee back to Nanguan City through the small road behind the city." At this time, the retainers around him advised.

"This is the residence of several generations of our family! And once we return to Nanguan City, we will be trapped by the Luo family." Dajinshan Zidong said without tears. (To be continued..)
