evening.
Inside the Han army's central tent.
Wu Nian sat on the main seat in casual clothes, followed by Wang Gui, Kitahara Sosuke, Cheng Yulian and other civil and military officials, as well as Kyogoku Yukiri, the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom who was allowed to attend as an exception.
Lu Liuliang, Zhang Cai, and Zhuge Xun needed to stay in their own camps and did not come to participate.
Wu Nian said a lot at this military meeting. But the kernel only does one thing.
Attack the city tomorrow.
After the military meeting ended, all the civil and military officials left together. Kyogoku Yuki stayed behind.
Wu Nian raised his eyes and looked at the gorgeous Princess, chuckled, and said, "If things go well, we can capture the Emperor alive within this month."
"How do you feel princess?"
"Twelve points of pleasure." A happy look appeared on Kyogoku Yuki's delicate and delicate face.
"Hahaha."
Wu Nian laughed and nodded and said, "I am the same."
The two had dinner together, and then Kyogoku Yuki said goodbye and left. Wu Nian took a bath and had a good sleep.
When Wu Nian woke up the next day, he felt refreshed.
After these days of nourishment by the "earth", his weak body became strong again. Riding the horse at full speed and fighting between the two formations, there is no problem at all.
Because the order has been issued in advance.
Lu Liuliang, Zhang Cai, and Zhuge Xun of the Han army buried pots and cooked rice before dawn. When the sky turned white, the soldiers rolled out brand-new siege vehicles and lined them up in front of the camp.
Immediately, the general led the troops and troops out of the camp in an orderly manner to set up formations.
North of Kyoto.
Under the banner of "Lu". Lu Liuliang looked excited, raised the Zhangba sword in his hand, and shouted: "We will attack Kyoto and capture the emperor alive today."
"Athletes. Kill!!!!!!!!"
"kill!!!!!!!!!!"
The Han soldiers were also very excited and yelled.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
In the deafening drums, in the melodious trumpets. The Han army pushed their siege equipment towards Kyoto City.
The Han army's formation was orderly, like a huge stone, advancing steadily.
It shows how thick and powerful the mountain is.
Although these Youyan Han troops are inferior to Liaodong Han troops, they are still strong armies.
Upstairs at the city gate. There is a large flag hanging on it. The flag is white with a yellow pattern embroidered on it.
chrysanthemum pattern.
The emperor of Fuso is known as a lineage for eternity. Also known as the Chrysanthemum Dynasty.
The chrysanthemum is the imperial symbol.
In front of the city gate tower. Okubo Tadamitsu stood with his head held high, but his face showed a solemn look. Then he took a breath, turned around and shouted to the left and right: "Don't shoot arrows blindly, wait for military orders."
"yes."
The soldiers of the Fuso Army shouted loudly. But the newly recruited militiamen were very nervous holding the weapons in their hands. Although the cold wind was biting, their palms were covered with sweat.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Han army pushed the well cart to the killing range of the Fuso Army's bows and arrows, and then stopped.
The archers of the Fuso Army opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the well cart.
But he didn't shoot the arrow immediately.
On the well truck opposite, the Han army archers were still hiding behind the bunker and did not show up. Shooting arrows now is just a waste of arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!"
suddenly. On the well truck. The Han archers wearing iron armor poked their heads out from behind the bunker, quickly fired the arrows in their hands, then hid behind the bunker, then nocked the arrows, bent their bows and fired, and so on.
There are not many well carts, and the number of archers on them is also limited.
But the arrows fired have the same lethality for individual soldiers.
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Pfft, pfft."
The infantry on the city, or the archers who stuck their heads out and were shot, were hit by arrows and fell down screaming. Some people were killed on the spot, while others were injured and bleeding, but no one cared about them and lay on the ground wailing.
Facing the oncoming arrows, the Han army's archers also suffered some casualties. But it's not a big problem, their armor is very defensive.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
Although the pit truck stopped, the wooden curtain truck and ladder truck moved forward slowly and firmly amidst the sound of the roaring cowhide drum.
A large number of infantry troops hid behind the wooden curtain trucks and ladder trucks and moved forward.
After reaching a certain position, the archers and shield bearers behind the wooden curtain car spread out from both sides of the wooden curtain cart.
The shield bearer stood the huge shield on the ground, and the man hid behind the shield. The archers each carried a large number of quivers and also hid behind shields.
At this distance, shooting arrows from the bottom of the city to the top of the city is also lethal.
The archers of the Han army skillfully pulled out the arrows from their quivers, then took a deep breath, stuck their heads out, and barely had time to aim. They only took a glance and shot the arrows out, and then the next time, Next time.
Countless arrows hit the city wall like a violent storm.
Such arrows shoot very quickly, but their accuracy is average. Many arrows hit the city wall and fell down.
But there are too many, and the damage range is very wide.
Many Fuso soldiers fell in a pool of blood. At the same time, the Han army's archers suffered considerable casualties.
With the archers on the huge well cart.
Archers on the ground.
Under the cover of two layers of archers, the ladder truck and the wooden curtain truck arrived at the bottom of the city. The soldiers of the Han army controlled the mechanism and put up the ladder on the city wall.
A ladder bridge of nearly 45 degrees is formed.
The huge ladder truck cannot be overturned by human power.
The only way to fight is head-on.
Okubo Tadamitsu had extremely rich combat experience and knew the Han army very well. Shouted: "Don't shoot with arrows. Arrows have limited damage to their armored soldiers."
"Use stones. If anyone climbs up the ladder, use stones or wood to hit them."
Okubo Tadamitsu's words have not yet finished. The Han soldiers behind the ladder carts and wooden curtain carts gritted their teeth and began to climb the ladders one after another.
They wore heavy armor and had steel knives hanging from their waists. With the knife in the sheath, he used his hands and feet to climb up quickly with his head lowered.
"Bang bang bang!!!" Countless Fuso warriors held rocks and wood and smashed them down. Most of the ronin, samurai, and serious soldiers have good accuracy.
But the militia's accuracy was extremely poor. Some militiamen even trembled, and the stones in their hands slipped and fell vertically to the ground.
But even so. The first wave of Han soldiers who climbed the ladder were completely wiped out.
But the Han army did not retreat.
"Kill!!!" The strong soldiers kept shouting and walked out from the back of the wooden curtain car, climbing the ladder, like moths rushing to the flame, one after another.
Fierce.
There is no more terrible person than one who is not afraid of death.
There is nothing more terrifying than an army that is not afraid of death.
The Han army's fearlessness made many soldiers of the Fusang army feel cold, and then their scalps became numb.
