That night, the Han army did not take any action, but quietly recuperated in the camp.
The Han soldiers who followed Wu Nian marched upside down day and night and accumulated a lot of fatigue. If you don't take a break, you won't have the strength to attack the city.
Early the next morning. Before dawn, the Huotou Army began to cook rice. By daybreak, the Han army soldiers had already left their camp and entered the territory of Tajima Kingdom.
The Han army had a large number of people, numerous banners, and a great momentum. In addition, entering Tajima Country means entering the territory of the Koizumi family and the Terashima family.
I can't hide it even if I want to.
The Koizumi family and the Terashima family suddenly exploded. Countless civilians who were unaware began to flee their villages and towns. The warriors either defended the castle or fled.
A large amount of news converged on the home town of the Terashima family. Foster City.
The home of the Koizumi family is Ishi Castle.
After all, the Terashima family is also a famous family with a fortune of 180,000 koku. They have many castles, a lot of troops, and tactical strategies to choose from.
The Koizumi family had no choice but to leave Ishiro.
morning. Out of Stone City.
This mountain city built on a mountain is strong and steep. There are a large number of warriors, soldiers, and families of warriors living in the city.
As long as we work together and refuse to defend the city, we will have the strength of Mount Tai.
However, the city has currently mobilized some of its troops to go to Harima Country and join the war surrounding Isshiki Castle.
The family governor, Koizumi Qingjun, recruited some militiamen and ronin, and managed to gather a force of 800 people.
"Hurry. Hurry. Get ready to fight. The Han army is not far away." In the open space of Sanwan, Koizumi Qingjun, wearing armor and holding a folding fan, loudly called for the warriors and soldiers to climb up the city wall.
The newly recruited militiamen and ronin did not cooperate well, and there was some confusion.
The women and children in the castle cried from time to time. The women are still calm, but the children are uncontrollable.
"Damn it. The Han army did not go to Harimo Country to rescue Lu Liuliang, but came to attack our Tajima Country." Koizumi Qingjun's face turned pale and he stamped his feet.
As a daimyo who came out of the Warring States Period, he was very shrewd and capable. He not only defended the city alone, but also led troops to participate in joint battles with the daimyo.
But at this moment, he really felt unsure.
He didn't expect that the Han army would attack at all, and he didn't make much preparation.
When a large number of warriors and soldiers stood on the city wall, Xiaoquan Qingjun, accompanied by Xiao Xing, also climbed on the city wall to watch the Han army.
At the foot of the mountain, there were countless soldiers of the Han army all over the mountain.
"Too many. At least 10,000 people. They really think highly of me." Koizumi Qingjun's face became even more ugly, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
The descendants of the Koizumi family were also a little flustered. Not to mention the ronin recruited, some ronin have already given up.
But it's too late.
Izushi Castle has been surrounded and there is no way to escape.
There are three ways to go up the mountain from Shicheng, namely east, west, north and west. There are not many footholds around the city. Although Zhang Cai had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, they were unable to use them.
On a hill to the north of Chushi City, the Han army opened a camp. Zhang Cai led thousands of soldiers to watch the battle here.
Zhang Cai stood on a big stone and looked out of the stone city. Shaking his head, he said: "Fusang is a ghost place with many mountains and cities."
"Call the thousands and hundreds of households." Zhang Cai turned around and said to the soldiers.
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down. Soon after, one thousand households and ten hundred households of this army gathered under the stone and lined up neatly.
Zhang Cai turned around and said condescendingly to everyone: "Brothers, some of you know this and some don't. I will say it again."
He told the officers exactly what happened.
Zhang Cai said loudly: "Brothers, General Lu is a man. He is responsible for everyone's work. He fell into a trap and planned to die for his country."
"But the king is benevolent and wants to save someone. That's why he led his troops and arrived at Tajima Country, a place where birds don't shit."
"In my opinion, even if General Lu dies, he has nothing to regret."
"This time, your Majesty will save General Lu. If we are besieged tomorrow, your Majesty will also rescue us."
"Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous. We cannot be embarrassed."
"In this battle, the troops are very fast. The sooner we capture Tajima Kingdom, the better. Izushi Castle is in the front. I don't know how many troops there are in the city and who the defender is. I'm not interested either."
"All I ask of you is to capture the city before dark today."
The human heart is made of flesh.
Abandoning subordinates will make other subordinates feel cold.
But on the contrary, in order to rescue his subordinates, he desperately mobilized troops and mobilized troops.
Zhang Cai doesn't know other people's moods, but Zhang Cai knows his own moods. My heart is feeling warm.
Working for the King of Han is a hundred times better than working for the King of Goguryeo.
Not only Zhang Cai thought so, but the eleven Qianhu and Baihu in front of him also thought so.
"Yes!!!!" Qianhu, taking the lead in leading hundreds of households, shouted loudly in response to Zhang Cai.
"Very good. Attack the city." Zhang Cai smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and gave the order.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
Amid the deafening sound of drums and horns, the Han army launched attacks from three directions: east, west, and north. To attack a mountain city, no heavy siege equipment can be used.
The only weapons available were crude ladders.
But the momentum of the Han army was like that of bears and tigers.
"Quickly release the arrows. Shoot them." Xiaoquan Qingjun watched the Han army attack and clearly felt the fierce murderous aura emanating from the Han army. He became even more uneasy and shouted.
“Whoosh whoosh!!!!”
The archers of the Koizumi family bent their bows and shot arrows. Countless arrows flew down. Many Han soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows.
But the armor of the Han army was very thick. Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot in vital parts, most people only had pain on their bodies.
Although he suffered some skin trauma, it did not affect his movement.
this moment. The morale of the Han soldiers reached its peak, the adrenaline in their bodies soared, and they were fearless.
"kill!!!!!!"
Countless soldiers carried arrows and ladders to the outer wall of the mountain city. After some Han soldiers set up the ladder, they were responsible for holding it down.
Some Han soldiers climbed onto the ladder without hesitation and climbed the city wall using their hands and feet.
Fuso's castle is different from the Han castle. But it is still a city wall, and all you have to do is climb it.
"kill!!!"
The Fuso warrior struggled with his spear to stab the Han soldiers climbing the ladder. Some militiamen leaned out and tried to knock down the ladder.
"snort."
"Ahhhh!!!"
Countless Han soldiers were stabbed by spears or had their ladders knocked down and lost their footing. Flying down from the sky.
Some people screamed, while others just grunted and accepted their fate calmly.
Either fell to death or seriously injured.
