Chapter Twenty-Nine: Clearing the City

"Do you make up for the lack of power with quantity? But can this really work? Hirano asked with some uncertainty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I have carefully observed the situation in Xinzhuang City in the past few days, and if the following estimate is correct, the number of archers in the city will definitely not exceed thirty. And among the only thirty people, I didn't see a powerful wisteria bow, all of them used a maruki bow in their hands. If I don't expect, judging from the current situation of Xinzhuang City, it will actually be relatively simple to attack the city. But the premise is that we can organize a team of more than 100 archers or so, and at the same time gather all the samurai with strong bow and arrow ability, and with such a long-range team, we will be able to suppress the walls of Shinjo Castle, so that when we attack the castle again, it will be much easier. At that time, as long as the city walls can be suppressed, I and I-Imaeda will take the lead in attacking the castle. Yamanaka said confidently.

As for why Yamanaka Yusei chose this Imaeda Yoshishige to attack the city with him among all the people, it is because this Imaeda Yoshishige is a samurai with the strength of this sword hero, and he is also the first brave man in the Boqi Kingdom. If there is a sword hero under his command, he is a fool!

"In that case, then we might as well try it first, if this is really feasible, then the family can't let the Kuroda family take the limelight!" Ushio Yukiyo said with a smile.

"Hey," the crowd promised.

Soon, after a great selection of the entire army, a total of more than 160 miscellaneous soldiers who could use the Maruki bow were selected from among the people of the Boqi and Kita guns. In addition to this, more than 70 samurai (samurai and heads of families of various noble clans, but no more than 10 of them were famous samurai), all of whom were good at using bows and arrows. And most of them came here with their own wisteria bows.

After the selection of the archery team, the Nizi family was completely prepared, and after twenty days of preparation and wandering, the Nizi family was finally about to attack the city.

When the Nizi family lined up under the city of Xinzhuang City, the people in the city of Xinzhuang City immediately discovered their actions, although they didn't know what the army of the Nizi family was stimulated, and they had to attack the city today. But no matter what, what is certain is that the Nizi family is really going to attack this time, and not just making a show outside the city as before.

The defenders of Xinzhuang City immediately stood on the city wall nervously, because in fact, Xinzhuang City is only a small city, the scale of this area is not large, and the area of the corresponding city wall is not wide, so there are not so many defenders standing on the city wall. Although the enemy was about to attack, except for the elite soldiers on the city wall, most of the defenders could only be under the city wall, or directly behind the city gate, with their weapons in hand, waiting to support the defenders on the city wall at any time. Or after the city gate is breached, do a good job of defending the city gate.

This time, the Nizi family gathered all the soldiers together and lined up one by one under the castle, but the improvised bow and arrow team of 230 people was placed at the front of the entire team by Ushio Kokiyo. After Ushio Yukiyo gave the order to attack, the entire army slowly advanced towards Shinjo Castle.

"All the archers are ready, and when the Niko family comes into range, they are free to shoot." A bow-to-footed little head in Xinzhuang City shouted at this time, he felt that with the previous urine of the Nizi family, it was estimated that one or two rounds of salvos should retreat! Similar to Yamanaka Yukimori's estimate, there are more than thirty bowsagi on the castle of Shinjo, and it is indeed an absolute weakness in terms of numbers.

But what he didn't notice was that all the soldiers in the front row of the Nizi family were holding bows, although they couldn't see anything from the protection, but they were holding different hands, but he didn't even notice it, I have to say that this is a strange commander.

When the soldiers of the Nizi family walked into the range of fifty paces, the archers of Xinzhuang Castle did not hesitate to shoot the arrows in their hands according to the order. What surprised them very much was that they found that the soldier at the front of the Nizi family on the opposite side had done the same thing as themselves. This means that these soldiers of the Nizi family are also archers, and the number is more than several times that of their own side, which is a square team of more than 200 people!

The soldiers on the side of the Niko family were not as fully equipped as the crossbowshigaru of the Kuroda family, and these bows and shigaru of the Nizi family, because they lacked the necessary protection of the equipment, were shot by the thirty arrows of the first wave of Shinjo Castle to three or five people.

However, the rain of arrows of the Nizi family is not small, and it almost cleared the archers at the head of Xinzhuang City, of course, mainly due to the work of the dozens of rattan bow warriors. Including the bow-to-footed little head who looked down on the Nizi family before, he also fell into the pile of dead people at the head of the city at this time.

"What's going on? Why do the Nizi family have so many archers? How can we do this? Jinshan Hengzhi, the city lord of Xinzhuang City, said in surprise and anxiety when he saw that the defenders on his side, especially the archers, were almost wiped out.

"It seems that the Nizi family is not useless! In the military situation of the Nizi family this time, it seems that there are masters! The head of the middle family who came to help Xinzhuang City sighed.

"Now that we have no archers to fight back, why don't we let everyone hide behind the city wall and order one or two clever people to monitor the movements of the Nizi family, and only wait until the Nizi family ants are attached to defend it?" The head of the Otsuki family said at this time.

"Well, that's all there is to it now." Jin Shan Hengzhi shook his head and said.

Seeing that Xinzhuang City has been completely suppressed, and the Nizi family has cleaned up the archers in the city, what the Nizi family needs to do now is to attack the city with ants, attack head-on, and strive to take Xinzhuang City.

Soon Yamanaka Yukimori and Imaeda Yoshishige each rushed up with their own men and horses, but Yamanaka Yukimori took someone else's people with them, and Imaeda Yoshishige brought his own clansmen and disciples, so Yamanaka Yukimori rushed forward with people, and Imaeda Yoshishige deliberately delayed for a while and fell into a later position.

Yamanaka Yukimori took the lead and rushed to the first, he was also the first ant attached to the Nizi family, and when he rose to the top of the city wall, he immediately attracted the attention of the defenders of the three Shinsho Castles. After all, he was wearing bright armor, and he looked like a samurai at first glance, and he was also a relatively high-level one, how could he not attract attention? (To be continued.) )
