Chapter 921: The Siege
"That's very good."
After hearing Yan Baihu's decision, Gou Guzhi immediately nodded and agreed.
Subsequently, each side led their men and horses in the direction of Fukuoka Castle.
The armies of Yan Baihu and Dog Guzhi set off separately, and of course while they were attacking Fukuoka Castle, Himimaru had already organized men and horses to counterattack.
The two of them, Nansheng Mi and Du Niu Li, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to divide into left and right roads to block the attack of Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi.
Don't look at Himimaru, he only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet these people, but he had 2,000 ghost soldiers in his 10,000 soldiers.
Although it is weak in terms of quantity, it can definitely defeat the soldiers and horses of Yan Baihu and Dog Guzhi in terms of quality.
It's just that the main purpose of Yan Baihu and Dog Guzhi joining forces is because Dog Guzhi has lived on this Kyushu Island for many years, and he is a local native, and he has long heard that there are some ghost soldiers under Himimaru.
His purpose is precisely to unite with Dog Guzhi and let Dog Guzhi deal with these ghost soldiers under Himimaru.
Despite the existence of these ghost soldiers, Gou Guzhi also has the ability to deal with these ghost soldiers.
Because there is a group of swordsmen under the command of the dog Guzhi.
These swordsmen. It was formed by the Gou Guzhi recruiting the ronins from the entire Kyushu Island.
Each of them has good strength, and if you deal with those ghost soldiers alone, even if you can't suppress them steadily, you will definitely not fall too far.
Just let these swordsmen deal with those ghost soldiers with all their might.
It is estimated that there is a certain certainty that those ghost soldiers can be defeated, as long as there are no ghost soldiers, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yamatai. It is not the opponent of Yan Baihu and Dog Gu Zhi at all.
Two days later, after the battle, it turned out to be after the battle. Yamatai's side really can't defeat the coalition forces of Yan Baihu and the Dog Slave Country.
Although there are thousands of ghost soldiers on the side of Yamatai to help, the ghost soldiers on the battlefield are invincible, and no one can fight.
But this time, Gou Guzhi targeted the ghost soldiers of Yamatai, and he could be regarded as taking out his own hole cards, after thousands of swordsmen learned about the weaknesses of the ghost soldiers through spies.
All of them attacked the fatal points of the ghost soldiers, and with the method of exchanging injuries for injuries, they killed most of the ghost soldiers under Himimaru in just one day.
Originally, relying on the ghost soldiers, Himimaru was able to temporarily support Yan Baihu and others, but after the ghost soldiers were killed by most of the men and horses of Gou Guzhi, they had no support, and the men and horses of the Evil Horse Platform could not stop the enemy's attack at all.
In addition, although Himimaru is the acting king of Yamadai, the acting king is not the real king, and many tribes do not obey the command of Himimaru at all.
Himimaru wants to recruit soldiers and horses, but he can't recruit many people for a while.
There are even some people who have already secretly taken refuge in Gou Guzhi, and when Gou Guzhi attacked Yamatai, he directly took refuge in Gou Guzhi, and for a while, on the side of Himimaru, was at a great disadvantage.
In a hurry, Himimaru, who had no choice, could only pin his hopes on Liu Zheng.
At this time, Liu Zheng had already left Fukuoka City with his own people.
Liu Zheng's departure made Himimaru very annoyed for a while, and he only thought that Liu Zheng had abandoned him and betrayed his promise.
In fact, Liu Zheng at this time did not run away at all, but went to join his own people.
Liu Zheng's spies had already found out about the battle between Yan Baihu and Bei Mi Maru, and had already learned that Bei Mi Ma was at an absolute disadvantage, and if there was no Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses to help, I was afraid that these men would not last long in Fukuoka City.
And Liu Zheng's side, it is useless to continue to stay in Fukuoka City.
Only by returning to his own soldiers and horses at this time can he better command the soldiers and horses, so as to use these armies to sneak attack Yan Baihu from behind and defeat Yan Baihu and others in one fell swoop.
Liu Zheng thought very well, so he didn't notify Himimaru, the reason why he didn't notify Himimaru is that there is another reason, that is, in Liu Zheng's military camp, there is also Himiko, and there is Himiko, Liu Zheng doesn't want to get too close to Himimaru, otherwise he will be discovered by Himimaru, but it won't be so easy for Liu Zheng to get away.
Just when Yan Baihu defeated the soldiers and horses led by Nansheng Mi and was about to continue the march towards Fukuoka Castle, Liu Zheng and Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses converged.
Zhou Tai led Zu Lang and Jiang Qin's naval army, a total of more than 20,000 people, had come to the boundary of Fukuoka, although they were detoured from the side of the ocean.
It should not have been discovered by Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi's people, but the actions of more than 20,000 people were too big, and Liu Zheng couldn't hide them intact, so Yan Baihu and they didn't know that they could not reach directly, and Liu Zheng was not sure.
Regardless of whether Yan Baihu knew it or not, Liu Zheng planned to launch an attack on Yan Baihu's men and horses today, taking advantage of Yan Baihu and Dog Guzhi's attack on Fukuoka City.
As long as Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi's men and horses attack Fukuoka City with all their might, they don't have too much thought, and if they pay attention to other places, Liu Zheng's men and horses will definitely be able to make Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi's people panic and their morale will collapse.
The island of Kyushu is not large, at best it is the location of a county, so the time of the new army will not be much.
Liu Zheng's side, with his men and horses, gradually approached the place of Fukuoka City.
Just in time for Yan Baihu and the dog Gu Zhi's men and horses, they were outside Fukuoka City.
It's just that Yan Baihu and Dog Guzhi didn't rush to attack Fukuoka Castle, and they defeated Himimaru's men and horses in the previous battle with Himimaru's men and horses.
But the losses are also huge.
A total of 60,000 soldiers and horses lost more than 10,000 people in order to defeat Himimaru, Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi.
So by the time they laid siege to Fukuoka Castle, there were less than 40,000 of the 60,000 troops left.
If they continue to attack with all their strength at this time, then Yan Baihu and Gou Guzhi's soldiers and horses will continue to lose, which is not something these two want to see, so in order to solve this matter peacefully.
At this time, they could only adopt a more peaceful approach, that is, to besiege but not attack, and wanted to use the momentum of the army to deter Himimaru.
Let Himimaru know the fun and open the city and surrender by himself.
This is the wise move of Yan Baihu and Dog Gu Zhi.
However, Himimaru is not a person who will choose to surrender easily, and he will definitely surrender to the small country of dog slaves.
Despite the siege, Himimaru still had 20,000 troops in the city.
Yan Baihu and Dog Gu Zhi attacked strongly, and it was not so easy, so in the past two days, they have been spreading rumors and wanting to attack.
When Liu Zheng learned the news, Liu Zheng smiled.
Such a situation is exactly what Liu Zheng is most willing to see, and only in this way can Liu Zheng take the opportunity to attack.
