"Chapter 166: Reinforcements Have Arrived"
Devout believers in God say that people can achieve great things with faith, just as the Gospels say: faith can make mountains move. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe reason for this is that faith leads to steadfastness. Faith means simply and straightforwardly believing in those things that are irrational and taking them as if they were true, and believing in those things that are reasonable, and exceeding the limits of what reason can allow.

The morning without the siege of the Tsugaru family army gave Ivan time to organize the spontaneously organized young men into the garrison army, and after lunch, Ivan's brow, which was slightly stretched, furrowed his brow again.
An army of about 7,000 appeared again to the south of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, and needless to say, Ivan knew that it was the successor army of the Tsugaru family, and the information of the Tsugaru family detected by the ghosts of the battlefield was also sent to Ivan.
This is the benefit of the system forces, the battlefield ghost and the shadow killer are both special classes of the system in the city of Rome, and there will never be any entanglement of interests between them, nor will there be any contradictions that are not conducive to each other's development, which is crucial.
It is customary for the battlefield ghosts to provide a copy to nearby allies after receiving information, and the shadow killer will also provide some help to the battlefield ghosts within the scope of allowability, which is the existence of Bai Feng's acquiescence.
Therefore, Ivan knew very well about the Tsugaru family's counterinsurgency army, and he knew that the size of the opponent's army was not the 8,000 people who attacked the Nangang Imperial Palace yesterday, but the 15,000 army, which was nearly twice as many as the 8,000 people.
Of course, he didn't care much about the 8,000 troops that followed the Tsugaru family, because he knew that those 8,000 people were all peasant soldiers, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness at all, and if the other party really put the peasant soldiers into battle, it would be a good thing for the soldiers defending the city.
Although he thought so, when the follow-up army of the Tsugaru family arrived, Ivan's face still showed a solemn expression, after all, it was an army of 8,000 people, even if it was 8,000 pigs, it would be difficult to deal with it if he went crazy!
The 4,500 men defending the city were divided by Ivan into nine brigades of 500 men, and the defenders on each wall were a brigade, all of which were composed of the original standing army officers and soldiers and the newly supplemented young and strong men, and the combat effectiveness was barely reasonable.
In addition to the four brigades guarding the city walls, another brigade was left by Ivan to guard and capture the city, and the standing army of the 3,000 Tsugaru family was not a good stubble, and in order to avoid any accidents, Ivan had to divide his precious forces to guard them.
The last four brigades are the reserve forces in Ivan's hands, and no matter when the Tsugaru family's army begins to attack the Nangang Imperial Palace, there will be a main attack direction and a feint attack direction, and the reserve force is prepared to deal with the enemy's main attack.
On the afternoon of the arrival of his follow-up army, Kaneheita launched a second attack on the Nangang Imperial Palace, and this time, he used not only all of his elite soldiers, but also 4,000 of the 8,000 peasant soldiers who had just arrived.
The 5,000 relatively elite soldiers and the 4,000 newly arrived peasant soldiers were again divided into four armies by Kanheituna, and three of them feinted to attack the army, each consisting of 1,000 elite and 1,000 peasant soldiers, far surpassed the number and quality of the defenders of the Langgang Imperial Palace.
The Tsugaru clan army, which was tasked with attacking the eastern wall, consisted not only of 2,000 elite and 1,000 peasant soldiers, but also 4,000 peasant soldiers led by Kanehira Tsunade himself as a reserve force.
The fierce siege battle began without any prelude, and the army of the Tsugaru family rushed towards the Nangaoka Imperial Palace like a tidal wave, and Ivan, who was standing on the wall, did not hesitate in the slightest, but gave an order that shocked everyone.
The four brigades that were originally organized by Ivan to resist the main attack of the Tsugaru family were sent by Ivan to the four walls at the moment when the Tsugaru family launched a full-scale attack, and as a result, the pressure on the eastern city wall increased sharply.
The three walls of the Nangange Imperial Palace, to the west, south, and north, each faced the attack of 2,000 Tsugaru clan soldiers, and the defending soldiers were also 1,000 men.
The real difficulty was the eastern wall where Ivan himself sits, and the same 1,000 defenders had to face the most elite attack spearhead of the 3,000 Tsugaru family, and not only that, but Kanehira had 4,000 troops ready to fight.
In this way, the 1,000 soldiers on the eastern wall are actually facing the siege army of the 7,000 Tsugaru family; more importantly, the soldiers of the defenders are not all soldiers of the standing army, and the large number of young men and women also reduces the combat effectiveness of the defenders.
Since the killing of the first Tsugaru family to climb the castle wall, the battle this afternoon has entered a white-hot state, and Kanehei Tsunori, who wants to capture the Nangaoka Imperial Palace at all costs, has given his generals a death order to break through the castle.
These generals, who had accepted the death order, and the ashigaru generals, gave the death order to the head of the Ashigaru group under their command, and the high-pressure orders at each level made the soldiers of the Tsugaru family have to put life and death behind and launch an attack with all their strength.
The fierce battle led Ivan to dispatch his wounded Shadow Killer, the last of Ivan's power, and even he himself joined the battle against the enemy siege forces with the Soul Blade.
More and more soldiers of the Tsugaru family climbed to the top of the eastern city wall, and fought fiercely with the soldiers who swore to defend the city on the city wall, spraying blood, hoarse shouts, and piercing exchanges, this is the cruel war, but also the law of survival in the troubled times.
Seeing that the number of enemy troops on the city wall gradually increased, the soul blade in Ivan's hand was also wielding more and more fiercely, and the soldiers of the Tsugaru family continued to die in Ivan's hands, but the enemies around him were only a lot more, and there were more and more!
The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the defenders of the Langoka Imperial Palace, and Kanehei Tsunori, who feels that the time is almost up, finally dispatches the 4,000 unmovable peasant soldiers around him, ready to launch the final fatal blow against the defenders of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace!
Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......
Just after Kanehira Tsunade gave the order to attack with a complete army, everyone on the entire battlefield heard a loud noise from far and near, and with the loud noise, a layer of smoke and dust rose up to the sky in the northeast direction of the Langoka Imperial Palace!
"Brothers, we have been saved! The reinforcements of the Yanhuang family have arrived, and they have made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy!!" Before Kan Heigang could react from the shock, the defenders on the city wall cheered, and their originally precarious defense instantly became solid.
"Yanhuang family reinforcements?!" The shocked Kanpei Tsunade had no time to organize a defense, and the panicked peasants and soldiers showed a state of collapse before they could see the enemy; soon, a large number of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry troops appeared in front of Kanpei Gangze's eyes!
