Yise City is a mountain city.
There is only one main gate to enter and exit the city. But there are two ways to attack the city, one in the east and one in the east. The east side is the main road and the west side is the small road.
Lu Liuliang, surrounded by his own soldiers, came to stand on the east wall.
On the mountain road ahead, a group of Toyotomi soldiers were carrying ladders, heading towards Isshiki Castle with difficulty and slowly.
"Get ready for battle." Lu Liuliang's eyes were bright, he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted.
"Yes." The soldiers guarding the city roared in unison. Archers checking their arrows, warriors preparing to throw wood and stones.
There are also armored pikemen holding long spears, ready for battle.
As well as hundreds of supernumerary households led by Yamamoto Heihachiro.
These samurai and soldiers of the Yamamoto family have already boarded the ship and cannot get off.
............
The hilltop to the east. In the military formation of Toyotomi Army.
One of the sixteen divine generals of the Toyotomi Army, Matsudaira Gonobu sat on a small bench, holding a folding fan and looking at Isshiki Castle in front of him.
Currently, a large number of Toyotomi troops, including many daimyo and generals, have been assembled in Harima.
But they were all prepared to ambush the main force of the Han army. To attack a mountain city like Ise City, only a few thousand people are enough.
Too many troops cannot be deployed.
Matsudaira Nobuyuki sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Why do you sigh?" The person next to me could not help but ask.
"There was a problem with our plan. We originally planned to encircle the point for reinforcements, but Wu Nian sent troops to Tajima Kingdom. Masanori Terashima, who had high hopes, was defeated and the city was destroyed."
"Now we can only attack Yise City and kill the Han general Lu Liuliang."
"The defense of Yishi City is very strong. It will take a lot of effort to capture Yishi City. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have surrounded the area to call for reinforcements."
"After luring Lu Liuliang out, he set an ambush on the road. Killed Lu Liuliang and wiped out a thousand households of the Han army."
Matsudaira Nobu just sighed.
It's really a waste of money.
All the agencies have been exhausted, and everything is in vain.
The young man fell silent after hearing this and sighed.
Matsudaira Nobugo was in charge of the main camp and was responsible for attacking Isshiki Castle from the east and west sides. They are the banner retainers of the Toyotomi family.
Sanada Shinichi, Sakai Takaji.
Sanada Shinichi is responsible for the main attack on the east side.
Sanada Shinichi sat on a small bench, holding a katana in both hands, and ten armored samurai kneeling on one knee in front of him.
His eyes passed over the faces of the warriors from left to right, and he said loudly: "Warriors. Lu Liuliang is a general of the Han army who commands an army of ten thousand. The general has an order. Whoever cuts off Lu Liuliang's head will be sealed with ten thousand stones." , became a great name."
"Yes." The armored warriors immediately became excited and responded loudly.
"Very good." A smile appeared on Sanada Shinichi's face. For samurai, salary and family are everything.
A name worth ten thousand koku can drive 80% of samurai crazy.
Immediately, under Sanada Shinichi's arrangement, the team was divided into three teams, taking turns to attack Isshiki Castle.
"Kill!!!!" The three armored warriors who launched the attack first, commanded hundreds of soldiers, carried ladders, and launched an attack on Isshiki City.
Lu Liuliang stood at the top of the city, watching the Toyotomi soldiers below the city. Calmly said to the archers on the left and right: "We don't have many arrows, just aim and shoot."
The archers did not respond, their eyes fixed on the Toyotomi army for a moment.
After the Toyotomi soldiers reached a certain distance, they took out the arrows from their quivers and bent their bows to aim.
"Whoosh!!!!" The excellent Han army archers shot the arrows in their hands at the most suitable distance.
Facing the rain of falling arrows, the Toyotomi soldiers and those in the front row screamed and fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, keep charging." A samurai leading the team raised his samurai sword and ordered to continue charging.
After continuing to charge forward for a while, the archers of the Toyotomi Army found bunkers one after another, hid behind the bunkers, and fired arrows towards Isshiki Castle to cover the infantry charge.
Some Han soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
"Treat the wounded. Return fire."
"You don't need to aim accurately, just shoot arrows from a general range. The speed must be fast. Shoot fast and hide fast." Lu Liuliang shouted.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Arrows rained down from the front, and the two shield soldiers had to raise their shields and stop in front of Lu Liuliang.
"Ding ding ding." The powerful arrow hit the shield. The two shield bearers were as motionless as Mount Tai.
"The Han army is invincible." After a Han army archer shot the arrow in his hand, he sat down to avoid it, then took a deep breath, roared, and quickly appeared, planning to shoot the arrow.
"Pfft" sound. The archer was hit by an arrow in the forehead, struggled for a moment, and then fell down in despair. The arrow in his hand failed to shoot.
When his companion on the left saw this, he planned to save him, but when he saw that he was hit by an arrow in the forehead, he sighed with a sigh of relief and reached out to help him close his eyes.
Then the companion took a deep breath, bravely took the bow and arrow, popped up, shot the arrow, then quickly squatted down, drew out the arrow, and popped up again.
Repeatedly.
Although arrows from under the city can be shot up, occupying the city wall has a great advantage. The Han army's thick armor has strong defensive power.
As long as he is not shot in the neck, face and other vital parts, he will basically not die.
Moreover, the Han army had fish gut, alcohol and other items that could be used for on-the-spot surgery. After an injury and bleeding, the probability of recovery is high.
The confidence of Lu Liuliang and Wu Nian was not born out of thin air.
But there are really means.
"Kill!!!!!!" The soldiers of the Toyotomi Army certainly didn't know this. Under the command of armored warriors, they rushed towards Isshiki City in a frenzy for the sake of Ten Thousand Stone's daimyo identity.
After arriving at the city with difficulty, the Toyotomi soldiers carrying the ladder set up the ladder on the city wall. Then, under the urging of the samurai, the ordinary soldiers gritted their teeth and climbed the ladder.
"Use wood and stones." The Han army officer shouted when he saw this.
"Kill!!!" Rikishi roared, picked up stones, wood and other objects, and smashed them hard at the Toyotomi soldiers who were climbing the ladder.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!" Toyotomi soldiers screamed and fell from the sky. Some people were still screaming after landing, while others died on the spot.
"Don't underestimate the Han army. Bastards." After a warrior smashed a Toyotomi soldier to death, he spat at the opponent, then picked up the stone and continued to smash it.
The battle started very fiercely. From dawn to dusk.
dusk.
As Toyotomi's army retreated like a tide, the Han soldiers, both officers and soldiers, sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
"here you go."
Lu Liuliang shouted, with pride in his eyes. These are all my soldiers. Really outstanding.
This is the first day of battle. The Han army's defense was extremely stable. The number of casualties and kills was also several times that of the Toyotomi Army.
He is very confident.
Even if they died in battle here, they would still kill at least five thousand Toyotomi troops.
Immediately, while it was still dark, Lu Liuliang sent some soldiers out of the city to pick up arrows and clean the battlefield. Then, while arranging the night's defense, he comforted the wounded soldiers.
He also took out the little meat and provided it to the wounded soldiers.
Boost morale and patrol the city walls.
Industrious inside and outside, like an ox or a horse.
