The emperor had not yet thought of the motives of the Dongjiang Army, and Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyue had already finished assembling the army and had already begun to send troops to attack the city amid the dull sound of war drums.

The sound of killing from outside the Imperial City immediately frightened the Emperor and his ministers. Later, under the report of the summons, the emperor and his ministers learned that the Dongjiang army had quickly begun to attack the city.

The siege of the city without warning was obviously not as usual, although the emperor had not yet guessed the intentions of the Dongjiang army. But this time, he felt that the Dongjiang Army would not leave after a few hits as usual.

In a panic, the emperor did not dare to stay in the imperial castle at all, and he ordered all the ministers to climb the city wall with him and live and die with the soldiers.

Although Heiankyo was defended, in more than a dozen battles, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. In the face of the invincible guns of the Dongjiang Army, the Japanese had only to be beaten.

Standing on the city wall, the emperor looked around, and the city was full of the figures of the Dongjiang army. In the past, the Dongjiang army would not send more than 5,000 soldiers and horses at most. But this time, from the dense figure, the emperor realized that the Dongjiang Army was very likely to be dispatched by the whole army this time.

If the emperor's guess is correct, it means that the Dongjiang Army is really ten times this time. Coming to such a conclusion, the emperor was immediately shocked, and he immediately called the lieutenant commander of the army, who was also his confidant Kuo, to come and obey the order.

Cao Xiong is more than 1.8 meters tall, and he definitely stands out in the Japanese army. Hearing that the emperor had told him to go and obey his orders, Kusao did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed forward.

"Emperor......" Kusao was about to salute, but was stopped by the emperor waving his hand.

"What is the situation of our army now, can we be sure that we will block the Dongjiang army from the city?" The Emperor opened his mouth and asked directly.

"The last general observed that the Dongjiang army was not good at coming this time, and it was entirely possible that the whole army was attacking. Emperor, at present there are only more than 6,000 people in our army, most of whom are guards temporarily transferred from the palace, and very few have experience in the battlefield. As he spoke, he began to spit out.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell the emperor the truth." A hint of anger flashed across the Emperor's face.

"If the Dongjiang Army still just fights and leaves, then the last general will be sure to stop them. But if the Dongjiang Army attacked regardless of its own casualties, Heiankyo would be in danger. Cao Xiong no longer hid anything, and said bluntly.

The emperor's face was very embarrassed when he heard this, and even Kusao said this, proving that this time was really dangerous. There was a possibility of breaking the city at any time, and it was obviously not what the emperor wanted to sit idly by, and after a moment of silence, he asked Kuao, "Is there a way to resolve the crisis in front of you?" ”

Cao Xiong frowned and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Emperor, there is no way, the last general can only do his best." ”

The Emperor fell silent, waved Kusuo to retreat, and stood on the wall in contemplation.

"Kill!"

Chen Jisheng still led his vanguard battalion to rush in front of the army, still with 3,000 soldiers and horses. With 2,000 shields in front and 1,000 swordsmen behind, they strode towards the west gate of Heiankyo.

The uniform sound of footsteps matched with the beat of the war drums, the sense of rhythm was very strong, and the momentum of the Dongjiang Army was completely released. Such a military appearance brought great pressure to the Japanese army on the city wall.

Cao Xiong admired the appearance of the Dongjiang Army very much, but at the same time felt afraid. Compared with the military appearance of the Dongjiang Army, the Japanese Army has no military appearance to talk about at all. The two armies don't have to fight at all, and this military appearance alone can already be divided into two ranks.

Although he knew that he was not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army, and he couldn't beat the Dongjiang Army at all, Caoxiong could only bite the bullet at the moment. Once Heiankyo is breached, the emperor and other ministers in the castle will become the fish and meat of the Dongjiang army, to be slaughtered!

"Artillery preparation, listen to the general's orders before you can fire, if anyone dares to mess around, there will be no mercy!" The eerie voice of the grass male wafted across the city walls.

Heiankyo was the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and the defense here was naturally tight, and there were many artillery pieces of all kinds. Cao Xiong is probably able to survive until now because of the role played by these artillery. Now, there are not many gunpowder and shells, and Cao Xiong is very worried, and there is no sharp weapon to deal with the Dongjiang army.

The Dongjiang army outside the city was already close to a mile away from the city wall, and a few hundred steps further forward would enter the best place for the Japanese artillery to strike. Chen Jisheng looked out from the gap in the shield, and after visually measuring the distance between the vanguard camp and the city wall, he suddenly ordered: "The shield array is on top, and the knife hand array is close behind, and when the enemy attack, Lao Tzu is stabilized, if anyone dares to panic, Lao Tzu will be the first to cut off his head." ”

Chen Jisheng's voice seemed to have a lot of magic, and the soldiers of the pioneer battalion were secretly vigilant in their hearts after hearing this. It's only a few hundred steps away, and it's just a few hundred steps away. Suddenly, there was a roar of artillery, and more than thirty black solid bullets fell from the air. The shield array of the Dongjiang Army was extremely experienced, and they didn't need Chen Jisheng to give an order, they were naturally ready to resist the arrival of the cannonballs.

"Touching ......"

More than thirty solid bullets smashed down almost simultaneously, and when they hit the shield of the shield array, there was a muffled sound. There were more than thirty direct casualties among the shieldmen. The shield array also briefly appeared in the loophole, but it was quickly restored.

And those shield bearers who are killed and wounded, the living will be rescued by the knife hands in the rear, and the dead can only lie on the battlefield.

The bombardment of solid shells brought only negligible casualties to the Dongjiang Army, although these grass males had already been prepared. But every time he sees such a result, he still hates itchy. The shield array of the Dongjiang Army can almost be said to be invulnerable, and if it is fighting with other enemy forces, such artillery bombardment alone will definitely cause great trouble to the enemy army.

It's just that the Dongjiang Army is like this, and Caoxiong has no way to take them at all. A good weapon of war was used on the body of the Dongjiang Army, but it did not exert its due power. What made Cao Xiong breathe the most was that when he bombarded the Dongjiang Army, only solid bullets still had some lethality, and if he used scattered bullets, it would be completely harmless to the Dongjiang Army.

"Damn it, get on the crossbow!" Seeing that the artillery was not working, Cao Xiong simply ordered him to use the crossbow arrows he had secretly learned from Da Ming.

With the order of Cao Xiong, twelve brand-new giant crossbows were pushed onto the city wall. The bolts were fired from a high altitude, powerful enough to pierce through the shields held by the Dongjiang army. If you are lucky, the dive of the crossbow bolts is enough to disrupt the tight formation of the Dongjiang army.

The vanguard battalion of the Dongjiang Army had reached 300 paces away from the city wall, which happened to be the best range for crossbow arrows. Cao Xiong didn't hesitate at all, and ordered viciously: "Shoot!" ”
