The speed of the Japanese pirate army's siege was not very fast. On the contrary, every step they took seemed very calm.Of course, this was also Oda Nobunaga's idea.

If there is a quick attack, not only will the loss be great, but it may also cause the Qi army in the city to make sufficient psychological preparations.

Such a siege will inevitably lead to great losses.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga decided to let the soldiers advance slowly, that is, to continuously destroy the morale of the Qi army, and at the same time consume their city defense materials.

Seeing the Japanese pirate army getting closer and closer in front of him, Wang Meng slowly raised his hand.

"Thunderbolt is ready to attack!"

In the city of Xuzhou, the Qi army has countless military resources.

Especially the thunderbolt car, it is far better than other cities.

During Cao Anmin's Northern Expedition, most of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang fought in the field and did not need to attack fortified positions.A large number of equipment were all left in Xuzhou.

But now, it happened to be all used in the battle.

Slashing and killing in the field requires well-trained soldiers.But the use of this thunderbolt car is indeed much easier.

All the people in Xuzhou City can join the battle.

Dozens of Thunderbolt cars are all turned on, which can definitely greatly dampen the morale of the Japanese pirate army.

"Let go!" Wang Meng's voice was transmitted again, and the thunderbolt car launched an attack at the same time.And all the soldiers standing on the tower also began to bend their bows and prepare to shoot arrows.

The huge stone flew out and landed directly in the battle formation of the Japanese pirates' charge. Blood splashed immediately, causing countless casualties.

But the Japanese soldiers who were bewitched by Oda Nobunaga, even facing the extremely ferocious thunderbolt car at this time, except for the inexhaustible wealth in their hearts, they have completely forgotten life and death.

Even though the boulder roared past their bodies, they did not hesitate.

After the thunderbolt chariot was released three times in a row, the Japanese army also entered within a hundred paces.

"Archers get ready!" Seeing this, Guan Sheng ordered hastily.

All the archers on the top of the city released the bows and arrows in their hands one after another. These murderous weapons, the arrows with a cold light flew towards the phalanx of the Japanese pirate army quickly. The dense arrows were like rain, slamming It fell on these Japanese soldiers. Although they took precautions and put up their shields, even if the defenses were tight, there were still gaps between the shields, and the arrows followed those gaps and nailed them straight to the ground. on the person.

In ordinary sieges, arrows are only an important weapon used to destroy the morale of the enemy.

But the Japanese pirate army's equipment is really poor, even if it is a shield, several people share one.

Resist arrows with sackcloth, and flesh and blood cannot be as strong as iron after all.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the Japanese pirate army finally arrived at the city of Xuzhou at the cost of huge casualties.

One after another, ladders were erected on the city wall of Xuzhou, and then soldiers began to climb up the ladders and began to attack the city.Naturally, the Qi army on the city wall would not allow the enemy to board the city wall so easily, and threw the rolled logs and stones that had been prepared one after another, and threw them at the Japanese army below.

In addition, all the women in the city went to the city, burning hot oil from time to time, and pouring it down on the enemy troops below the city. The battle had already entered the most tragic stage from the very beginning.

Under the city, Oda Nobunaga was somewhat entangled in his heart as he watched the soldiers rushing towards the arrow rain.

Before coming, he thought that Xuzhou would be broken in one fell swoop soon.But now it seems that although Xuzhou's defense is full of loopholes, it is difficult for the soldiers under his command to break through this seemingly simple defense in a short time.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have stormed the capital of the Qi State, but would have replaced it with another city. After breaking through, I would wantonly loot and leave, which is much better than the current situation.

Time flew by Oda Nobunaga's thoughts and the struggle on the city wall.

The sun had gradually set towards the west, but the form above the city wall was still in a state of anxiety. Seeing that there was no progress, Oda Nobunaga shook his head helplessly, and then ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

After the troops were withdrawn, he hurriedly ordered someone to count the number of people, but the news that came over gave him a headache.In just two days of fierce fighting, his sect lost as many as a thousand people, and this was only on his side.It is estimated that the situation of Hideyoshi Toyoda and Ieyasu Tokugawa must be similar.

Such a huge loss is really hard for them to accept.There are a total of [-] troops, and only [-] are left in the city of Xuzhou.And in just two days, he lost one-sixth of his troops, how could he not feel heartbroken.

While thinking about it, Hideyoshi Toyoda and Ieyasu Tokugawa came quickly, with gloomy faces.

"How's the loss?"

Oda Nobunaga glanced at the two of them, seeing the face like the bottom of a pot, he already understood most of them.

"Alas..." Oda Nobunaga sighed softly, and then said, "The loss is extremely heavy. Nearly 2000 people have been killed on my side in two days."

Hearing these words, the eyes of the other two showed a hint of joy before returning to the topic.

As Oda Nobunaga thought, the casualties on both sides of them were also extremely high, and such an attack would not have any effect.

Although they knew that the Qi army in the city must not feel well.Their casualties may even exceed their own.

But in order to defend the city, Chen Yan and the others mobilized a lot of young and strong people. Although these untrained peasants went to the city to commit suicide, after a few days, it was because of their participation that Xuzhou City was able to maintain itself.

But this is Qi's home court, and they can hold on no matter how much they lose.But Oda Nobunaga and the others are different. They have come from a long distance without any reinforcements behind them. If the stalemate continues here, the next battle may become more dangerous. We must find a way now.

After thinking about it, Oda Nobunaga told the two companions in front of him his deepest thoughts.

At this critical juncture, even though Toyoda Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga.But for the glory and wealth, for countless gold, silver and jewels, they must stand together and fight against each other.

Chapter 759

On the third day, the Japanese pirate army continued to attack, but compared with the previous two days, their offensive was obviously weakened.For the Qi army in the city, this is obviously a good sign. The enemy's offensive has weakened, which proves that their strength is not enough to continue.

Such a big loss has already made Wa Guo feel like retreating.

In addition to the weakening of the offensive, the time for them to withdraw their troops is also constantly advancing.And this incident made the Qi army in the city very happy, presumably in a few days, the Japanese pirates' offensive will definitely weaken even more.

Everything is as they imagined.

In the next few days, the Japanese pirates' offensive was really getting weaker and weaker, which made the hearts of Qi people more and more stable. In their view, the Japanese army was already exhausted, and it might not be a few days. , they will leave voluntarily.

And at that time, when the reinforcements arrived, the immediate predicament would be resolved in an instant.

However, the thoughts of the whole country of Qi are just their own wishful thinking, and in the military camp of the country of Wa, Oda Nobunaga is smiling sinisterly.

A few days ago, after discussing with the three of Oda Nobunaga, they decided to perform a bitter trick to the Qi army in the city.

In fact, in the past few days, the Japanese army's offensive has become weaker and weaker, just to show off to the enemy troops in the city.Let the soldiers and horses of the Qi State realize that they have suffered heavy casualties and will no longer fight as fiercely as before, but all of this is a falsehood, and the purpose of Oda Nobunaga's doing all this is to fool the Qi army into thinking that he is powerless to fight again. Attack, and just when their consciousness underestimated them, they gave him a head-on blow. At that time, Xuzhou would have no reason to break through.

In order to perform, in the past few days, the Japanese pirate army still put on a posture of attacking the city.

Although the offensive has been reduced, how can there be no casualties in the siege.

In order to deceive those Qi troops, they have suffered a lot of casualties in the past few days.

If it is not successful this time, don't say what the Qi army in the city will do to them. I am afraid that Hideyoshi Toyoda and Ieyasu Tokugawa under his command will stand up against him first.

The feudal lords of Japan are in dispute, the reason why they can become leaders with one person under one man and over ten thousand people.Not because of how powerful they are, but because they have the most fiefdoms among all the princes.

This time they lost a lot. If they can't make up in time after returning, other princes will inevitably rise up.
