Siege warfare in the ninja world is not interesting either.
For the ninjas who come and go, if there are not enough garrisoned ninja troops, no matter how high the city wall is, it is meaningless.
Even though there are still tens of thousands of daimyo directly under the army in the Daming Mansion, their generals have fled with the daimyo. Although the lower-class samurai who were regarded as abandoned sons mustered up the courage to urge their soldiers to go to the city and deploy defenses under the self-brainwashing of loyalty. , but they all know what the result of defending the city will be.
"At any rate, you have to shoot three arrows before surrendering before the battle. Only in this way can you be worthy of the daimyo's reward..."
The anxious warriors rushed their soldiers into the established positions on the city wall, and hurriedly set up the defensive equipment that they didn't know if they were of any use. They looked anxiously at the people below who were still fighting with the Kirigakure ninjas. Shogun ninja troops playing with detonating charms.
Even the stupidest samurai can see that these ninja troops below the city have no intention of attacking the city for the time being.
However, as a signal bomb rose into the sky not far away, the shogunate ninja army who was originally strolling around immediately increased their offensive intensity and began to use ninjutsu to bombard them.
Although the Kirigakure ninjas were not to be outdone, they immediately used water escape ninjutsu to fight back. However, with the assistance of the Akabi Uchiha ninja's fire escape and the grass ninja's wind escape, even the water escape with incompatible attributes was quickly suppressed.
Seeing this scene, the Damingfu troops stationed on the city wall understood that there was no longer any suspense about the outcome of the war.
But they did not dare to abandon their guard and flee.
The daimyo of the Land of Water are famous for their cruelty, and they have no mercy for deserters.
During the first shogunate attack, because Guan Bai was killed by the rain ninja mercenaries, thousands of his defeated troops were captured and beheaded by ninjas sent by the daimyo. It was the mountains of bloody heads that shocked him. All the government troops whose military morale is unstable.
At the same time, a large number of ninja troops appeared on the distant horizon, charging towards Daming Mansion in a crane wing formation.
"Heavy crossbow ready!"
Although the Hatamoto samurai standing on the castle tower looked pale, he still performed his duties and issued correct but useless instructions.
Since the establishment of the one-village-one-nation system, the samurai army in the hands of daimyo nobles has become a symbol of authority. Their role is more of a guard of honor and collection of taxes. In addition to oppressing the small country without ninjas, they have the opportunity to play. , the rest of the time is full of food and doing nothing all day long.
Even so, there are still some ambitious Hatamoto families who insist on tradition and teach their children the "secret skills" of war and tactics during the Warring States Period, hoping that one day they can help the daimyo and take over the country's military power from the hands of the Ninja Village Shadow. return.
However, when they really faced the fierce offensive of the Ninja Army, the samurai realized how much the accumulation of strength, strategy, and power, such as swordsmanship, art of war, and secular armies, which were originally regarded as heirloom skills, were in front of the Ninjas who mastered extraordinary power. Fragile.
But knowing that nothing could be done and the situation was unstoppable, Samurai Commander Hatamoto continued to issue the order.
"Archers prepare!"
Following the orders of the samurai commander and the beating and scolding of the lower-level samurai, the frightened government soldiers mechanically bent their arrows and bent their bows.
As for whether the arrows have any effect...
There is no need to say more about things that everyone knows very well.
"Fire Escape: The Art of Fierce Flames!"
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
The combined attack of fire and wind ninjutsu, which was still the most skilled among the shogunate ninja alliance, attacked the Kirigakure ninja army stationed outside the city.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
More than two hundred Kirigakure ninjas joined forces to perform magic, but they were easily defeated by the ninjutsu alliance, which had an absolute advantage in numbers.
The Kirigakure ninja army even began to have deserters.
"Heavy crossbow—release!"
The Hatamoto warriors on the city wall slashed with their swords in the air and issued command orders at the same time.
"Puff-puff-"
Heavy crossbow arrows as thick as javelins were fired at the ninja coalition that easily defeated the Kirigakure ninjas.
"Archer - let go!"
Captain Hatamoto didn't have time to observe whether the crossbow arrow could cause damage, and immediately issued a second order.
Then, came the third instruction——
"White flag ready!"
Wen Yan, the lower-level warriors who were supervising the operations in each department, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out the white sheets that had been prepared, and hurriedly hung them on their cross guns.
The other government soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they didn't have to die in vain.
Even the lower-level samurai behind Captain Hatamoto, who had secretly communicated with their eyes for a long time and had already grasped the hilt of their swords, breathed a sigh of relief with some regret.
At this time, Samurai Commander Hatamoto took the time to look outside the city.
The shogunate's ninja allied forces have defeated the Kirigakure garrison and are heading towards the towering walls of the Daming Palace.
"Ninja Tool Throw!"
Following an order from a jounin, the kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools that covered the sky were shot towards the city wall.
Many of them were wrapped in detonating charms.
"Raise the white flag——"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Hatamoto warrior commander immediately yelled.
Then he threw away the military fan in his hand, put his head in his hands and rolled to the bottom of the parapet.
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Continuous shooting with ninja tools and bombing with detonating symbols cleared the city wall.
Even if some clever government troops raised the white flag in time, they were still shot dead by the ninja tools and detonating talismans that had been thrown out.
A ninja from the ninja clan used the teleportation technique and was the first to jump onto the city wall. He ignored the overturned government troops and was the first to kill towards the castle tower.
"The first to arrive - Shiranui Choyasu!"
The first ninja who yelled his name jumped up to the castle tower, holding a ninja sword that condensed chakra sword energy, preparing to deal with the imaginary enemy counterattack.
But the scene of people kneeling in front of him made him stunned.
"Mr. Ninja, I am the highest-ranking samurai commander stationed in Daming Mansion, and I now officially surrender to you."
Samurai Commander Hatamoto, who was leaning against the wall with his head in his arms, shouted quickly.
"... Surrender? Surrender?"
Shiranui Choyasu, who originally wanted to show off his power so that he could gain a reputation for bravery in front of his master, Tokumitsu Uchiha, was completely stunned.
"Swish swish——"
Afterwards, many more ninjas jumped onto the castle tower, cut off the flagpole with their swords, took out the sealing scroll from the scroll cover, unsealed a flag with the Uchiha Uchiha fan logo printed on it, and planted it in the castle tower. the top of.
"...So there is such an operation!"
Shiranui Changyasu was stunned.
…
As the Uchiha flag was hoisted above the Damingfu Castle Tower, the shogunate ninja army cheered loudly.
This is the first time since Senju Hashirama established the one-village-one-nation system that ninjas have completely launched a war of their own will and captured the capital of a big country!
"Lord Tokumitsu!"
The attendant Ninja Uzumaki Koe rushed back from the front line, knelt on one knee in front of Uchiha Tokko and reported: "The Ninja Alliance has captured the Daming Mansion of the Land of Water!"
"Wan Sheng!"
All the jounin around him cheered loudly, celebrating the historic moment together!
Although the battle details of the Damingfu siege are generally lackluster, the significance is indeed extraordinary.
This means that the ninja group has the willingness and ability to independently launch a war against a big country and win the war! Although he chose to let the daimyo nobles go due to various scruples, it did not affect the significance of this war.
And this also means that ninjas began to get rid of the fetters of countries, ninja villages, etc., and began to fight for their own class interests.
"Gentlemen, this is our historic moment!"
Looking around, everyone was filled with excitement.
Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed his finger in the direction of Daming Mansion, and then ordered in a deep voice:
"Go to Luo!"
Asking for votes, asking for votes, asking for votes every day~
