Chapter 44: Clearing the Block
The long-range soldiers of the Kuroda family, with the help of the strong bow and crossbow, should have been able to suppress the city walls with ease, and those ordinary bows with Maruki bows in their hands were ashigaru. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Although in the end, the soldiers of the Kuroda family managed to effectively suppress the long-range soldiers in Shengrui City. However, the walls of Katsurui Castle, at the very beginning, still caused a lot of trouble for the remote soldiers of the Kuroda family.
The wall of Shengrui Castle is a lacquered wall, which is made up of two wooden planks, and the hollow part is filled with earth to enhance the effect of fire prevention. At the same time, the exterior of the dwarf is painted with lacquer, and the durability and fire resistance of the dwarf are excellent.
In addition, because the bow and light in the castle above the stone wall are used to attack the Kuroda family's soldiers through the shooting holes on the lacquered walls, if the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers want to attack them, they must accurately shoot crossbow arrows or projectiles into the shooting holes, and also hit the Miyoshi family's soldiers there.
The soldiers of the Kuroda family had never encountered such a castle wall before, so it was really a little thunderous and rainy at first. In fact, the soldiers of the Kuroda family have not encountered it, such as Kuroda Castle and Matsuyama Castle, but the soldiers of the Kuroda family can't use their own home city to practice siege!
As for Matsuyama Castle, the dealer surrendered directly and did not fight, and as for the flooding of Matsuyama Castle after that, there was no actual battle. So in fact, the remote soldiers of the Kuroda family were not prepared for the lacquer of Katsurui City.
The Kuroda family should be the first time, and the long-range family was not able to suppress the enemy at the first time, even if the Kuroda family faced the Nizi family's fifty-iron artillery team back then, it was crushed in a while.
The Kuroda family's ranged team and the hundreds of ranged soldiers of the Miyoshi family in Katsurui City began to shoot at each other, while the Kuroda family's thousands of wealthy miscellaneous soldiers, under the cover of several rows of shield players, began their feat of filling the river.
At the same time, there are also two wooden cars of the Kuroda family, their targets are the two gates of Shengrui City, filling the ditch is the purpose of the Kuroda family, and knocking on the city gate is also, when the time comes, plus the Kuroda family's water army, several gaps will be opened, and how long Shengrui City can last is really a problem.
"Crunch...... Crunch...... Crunch"
Under the iron-clad wooden planks, the two crashing carts began to move slowly in the direction of the city gate, driven by the Kuroda family's soldiers.
The soldiers of the Miyoshi family have also never seen such siege equipment, but the big crash on the wooden car has already reminded the soldiers of the Miyoshi family on the city wall that I am here to hit the city gate.
However, the defenders of the Miyoshi family in the city have no way to continue to pay attention, and these wooden cars look terrifying. Because the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers of the Kuroda family who were carrying sandbags had quickly rushed to the trench under the city wall.
The archers of the Miyoshi family could only temporarily give up shooting at the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers, and all turned their targets to the Kuroda family's Hao clan cannon fodder soldiers who were running quickly not far below the city.
Several miscellaneous soldiers of the Hao clan were shot down by the bows and arrows of the Miyoshi family for the first time. However, because he had just entered the range of Miyoshi's bow and arrow, there was only one unlucky ghost, who lost his life because he was shot in the eye, and the others were just injured, and there was no major problem.
As long as these wounded people did not die, there would be well-equipped Kuroda family soldiers mixed in the crowd and quickly dragged them back to the Kuroda family camp. Once there, as long as they weren't dead, they would be treated and bandaged by the medical staff, which was already the practice of the Kuroda family.
After all, they were only slightly injured by arrows from the Maruki bow, and with the current level of medical care of the Kuroda family, as long as they pulled out the arrows and disinfected them, they would generally not be in any danger to their lives. As for the damned, unlucky soldiers, they usually die before they reach the camp, and that's not their business.
Thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, protected by several rows of shield bearers in front, soon approached the trench outside the city of Shengrui.
The first soldier threw the sack on his shoulder into the ditch, and a large bag of dirt splashed a huge splash when it entered the water, and they did not make a splash.
The Kuroda family's miscellaneous soldiers were in good order, and they had already followed the requirements by separating them from each other enough distance to retreat through the gap between their companions after someone dropped the dirt bag.
The Kuroda family's miscellaneous soldiers kept being shot down, but the price paid by the Kuroda family was rewarded, and the ditch was filled in before the Kuroda family's soldiers used up the dirt bags in their hands. After that, the dirt bags continued to pile up on top of the original position of the trench, and finally there were several lots, and the dirt was built up to half a man's height, and all the prepared dirt was used up.
At this time, the wooden car slowly climbed in front of the city gate, but without any hesitation, there was a loud "boom", and there was a huge iron crash in front of it, and it smashed on the city gate.
This time the power was so great that even the soldiers of the three good families on the walls on both sides of the city gate could hardly stand firmly. And this time, it also left a terrible mark on the thick city gate. If it were a human being, if it had been hit just now, it would have died.
"Rockets, fast-firing rockets." A Miyoshi family bowed his head and shouted loudly.
After several minutes of preparation, several rockets smashed heavily on the crashing car, but the crashing car was not only covered with iron plates, but also had a thin layer of soil coating between the iron plates and the wooden boards, as a secondary treatment for fire protection. So the rocket either hit the iron plate and then bounced to the side, or it burned a little and then went out on its own, much to the frustration of the Bowfoot Riders.
"Quick, smash it with a rock."
However, to disappoint them, under the thick planks of the crashing wooden cart, there were several spring-filled springs, and the stones either bounced to the side, or after a few bounces, they landed safely on the plank.
In fact, at this time, if the Miyoshi family threw fire oil below and burned it, the Kuroda family's car crash would really have to retreat, but none of the Miyoshi family soldiers who defended the city were Kuroda Vocational High School, Takenaka Shigeji, Sanada Masayuki, and not even talents like Kuriyama Riyasu, so they could only watch the crash knock on the city gate.
After a muffled sound of "bang", the main gate of Shengrui City was smashed open a huge opening. The soldiers of the Miyoshi family behind the door looked at the sharp and sharp tips of the wood, but no one stepped forward to stop them. It wasn't until the wooden cart crashed and opened a gap in the city gate for people to pass through that he escaped safely.
