Warring States Eagle

In the letter written by Kamiya Shaoce to Qiuyue Wenzhong, he described the situation facing the Qiuyue family in more detail at this time, and emphasized again that the Luo family had many siege weapons in their hands. The troops are absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the Luo family's army, and the idea of ​​trying to fight in a caged city is even more unadvisable.In the end, he did not forget to persuade Qiuyue Wenzhong to find ways to negotiate peace with the Luo family.

"Negotiate peace? I also hope to negotiate peace! It's just that the conditions of the Luo family are too harsh!" After reading the letter, Qiuyue Wenzhong smiled wryly in his heart.In the end, Qiuyue Wenzhong still chose to fight in the cage city.It's not that simple to get him to surrender.

And Zhengliang is well aware of this.Especially at this time, the power of the Qiuyue family has spread all over the six counties of Ante, Kama, Suibo, Yesu, Shimoza, and Kamijo in the Chikuzen Kingdom, occupying most of the most famous Chikuho Plain and Chikushi Plain in Kyushu. Strength is already a small daimyo.

Even though the Luo family seized the opportunity to occupy the two counties of Xiazuo and Shangzuo, and were jointly attacking Yesu County, the Qiuyue family still occupied the entire counties of Jiama and Suibo, and even occupied a lot of territory in Ante County.What makes Zhengliang even more depressed is that Qiuyue Wenzhong's son-in-law is in Suibo County at this time, and the family's retainers are also quite supportive of Qiuyue's family.The implication is that even if Zhengliang killed Qiuyue Wenzhong this time and captured the Yexu County of the Qiuyue family, the Qiuyue family could quickly re-establish a new head and cause trouble for the Luo family.

So with these relying on, Qiuyue Wenzhong would not compromise with the Luo family so easily.So Zhengliang immediately launched an attack on Sugimoto Castle on the second day.

Although Kinoshita Masao had surrounded Sugimoto Castle before, he had not launched a siege battle. The main reason was that there were too many captive soldiers in the Luo family's army at that time.Because they were all forced to surrender temporarily.When people's hearts are not stable.No one can be sure whether these captive soldiers will defect when they attack the city.

But the situation at this time is different.With the addition of Zhengliang's new force, and in the past few days, several groups of local peasants and soldiers of the Luo family have been reinforced from behind the Luo family.So at this time, even if these captive soldiers turn against each other, they don't have to worry about their own camp being unable to deal with it.

What's more, Zhengliang adopted a new cage city tactic today.When three strangely shaped siege weapons were placed in front of Sugimoto Castle, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the city.

As the first time to participate in the Luo family's joint battle, the military forces of the three powerful clans of Wenzhusuo, Hoshino and Kusano naturally don't know what these strange weapons are. It is doubtful whether these weapons are the ones that can shoot huge iron pellets that have been rumored before.

At this time, in Sugimoto City, Qiuyue Wenzhong also had the same thoughts as the three people in the Wenzhu Institute. He was very afraid of this new weapon that appeared in the Luo family.But he also made preparations last night. As long as the city gate is unstable, he will have people immediately block the city gate with sandbags, so that even if the Luo family breaks the city gate, they cannot pass through the city gate in time.It's just that Akizuki Wenzhong's preparations were almost in vain, because Ohashi Bungo Mamoru said that this was not the kind of weapon he mentioned yesterday, and it was the first time he had seen the current siege weapon.

"What the hell are these things?"

Just when everyone was guessing, these weapons finally launched an attack.Following the order of Liu Ye, the weapon of the Luo family who had just arrived from Hizen recently.The catapults that were already ready were launched immediately.

After being ignited, the pebbles soaked in kerosene and packed in crude earthen jars roared towards the city like a cannonball.The burning earthen jars began to be cracked due to the high temperature in the sky, and the hot pebbles inside were shot directly at the people in Sugimoto City.

On the walls of Sugimoto Castle.The sound of the pebbles hitting the city wall was instantly drowned out by the wailing of the peasants and soldiers, and only the cruel scene of hundreds of people clutching their foreheads and bleeding was seen.

Pebbles fell from the sky.In addition to the power projected by the injured catapult, the force of the impact on the human body is very huge.If you are wearing heavy armor such as large armor, it is not a big deal to just feel chest tightness, but the feet of farmers and soldiers are quite thin, and most of them are made of bamboo slices in series. The harm under impact is quite huge, not to mention that many of them don't even have footwear.

If these pebbles fall on the head, it will be even more bloody.Although not fatal, injuries in the army are more serious than death.Wounded people need care and healing.As a result, hundreds of people were reduced instantly on the city wall.

Such a scene made everyone present stunned.For a long time, these generals only knew that when they attacked the city, they usually directly filled it with the sea of ​​people and let the soldiers climb the city wall with bare hands. They never thought that they could attack the city like this.After seeing the powerful siege weapon of the Luo family, even the three of them who had asked the relatives in the photo were still afraid. If they had chosen to fight to the end, how long would their fortress be able to defend under the attack of such a weapon? ?

And Qiuyue Wenzhong and others in the city were able to escape from the city wall from the sky full of meteors and fire under the desperate protection of the attendants.But this shocking moment has made them unforgettable.Originally, Akizuki Wenzhong was skeptical about Ohashi Bungo Mamoru and Kamiya Shaoce's description of the Luo family's siege weapons, but now that he has experienced it himself, he is convinced.

This kind of cobblestone earthen jar named "Meteor Flying Fire" by Zhengliang has average lethality, but its advantage is that it has a large strike area and is full of deterrent power to the enemy. For the current Warring States wealthy family, it can be regarded as a sharp attack weapon.Several rounds of "Meteor Flying Fire" were fired in succession, with bow and arrow attacks mixed in, and soon Sugimoto City became turbulent. Even with the supervision of the law enforcement team, the soldiers on the city wall hid under the city wall one after another. stand up.

What is strange is that after suffering several rounds of attacks, the attack outside the city suddenly stopped.Just when Qiuyue Wenzhong and others were about to go up to the city wall to inspect it in person, a relative samurai hurried over to report that it turned out that someone from the Luo family outside the city had sent a request to enter the city.After learning the identity of the visitor, Qiuyue Wenzhong ordered someone to bring in the envoy of the Luo family in a bamboo basket.

"Master Shenwu, I don't know why Mr. Zhengliang sent you here?" After the two parties saluted, Qiuyue Wenzhong asked straight to the point.To be honest, Qiuyue Wenzhong was quite surprised that the envoy sent by the Luo family this time turned out to be Kamiya Shaoce.

"Master Qiuyue's words are wrong. This time, my lord's lord did not send me here, but I came here on my own request after pleading with death." Shenwu Shaoce gave the answer that Qiuyue Wenzhong dared to surprise. .

"Oh?"

"To be honest, I think that Qiuyue's family is not far from the catastrophe of family extinction. I came here this time not only to meet Master Qiuyue for the last time, but also for the safety of my sister."

"Bold!"

All the retainers of the Qiuyue family in the meeting hall were furious when they heard Shenwu Shaoce bluntly said that the Qiuyue family was about to be exterminated, and accused Shenwu Shaoce one after another. (To be continued..)
