In the past, the siege of the city only relied on the bravery and patience of both sides, and the Maori army, known as the million-minded army, was often invincible, and the pioneer battalion led by Kumagai Nobunao was the first to climb the city in repeated siege battles. Obviously, today's sharp knife encountered the biggest predicament since its formation, and before it could touch the camp wall, a third of its members had been sacrificed, and their morale had plummeted, and if it hadn't been for the order to retreat, they might have collapsed long ago. There was no word for escape in the pioneer battalion, Kumagai Nobu saw that the morale was low, and if he didn't boost morale, he was afraid that it would collapse, once the pioneer battalion, which was known as brave and good at fighting, collapsed, the follow-up Maori soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they only knew how to flee for their lives. Kumagai shrugged and shouted, and drove his men to rush through the ditch and up the camp wall in flames.

Kumagai Nobu was so angry, he shouted, waved the sharp weapon in his hand and cut it towards the camp wall, only to hear a clanging sound, the knife cut into the camp wall, but did not see any sawdust flying scene, it turned out that Zhengheng in order to save wood for the sake of building a nearly two-meter-high earth barrier, although the labor has increased a lot, but who let him have more than 8,000 strong laborers, more than 20 days of confrontation is not all eating white rice, ruthlessly the two camps built can not be said to be solid, But if you want to slash and slash as lightly as before, it would be wishful thinking.

Noyama Yoshichao was calm, glanced at the enemy who rushed to the city sarcastically, and said with a smile to Qinghe Hengxiu, Kawasaki Yorihiro and others beside him: "Maori Lao'er is going to be deflated, and the thick earthen wall is waiting for him to cut it for ten days and eight days before it can be cut, not to mention that the earthen wall is full of stones." Even if you want to dig, it's all in vain. ”

Kawasaki Yorihiro responded. His face gradually relaxed. The earthen wall under his feet was built by his supervisor that day, and he clearly knew how strong it should be, and on the outermost part he deliberately camouflaged it with uncorrected wood, pretending to be simple, if he really thought it was simple, he was afraid that he would suffer a great loss, and shouted: "Shoot, shoot at will, and don't let them go back since they are here." As he spoke, he took the lead in raising the vine bow. An arrow was fired diagonally downward. The Maori army had obviously suffered a lot in the siege battle, and the Maori Yuan also prepared a small shield for them. In ancient times, the Japanese people had a shield, and the shield here generally refers to the straight shield, which is commonly known as the shield placed on the ground, and temporarily made a long wall, and you can shoot arrows behind the long wall, in fact, the hand shield was once prosperous, and later due to the limitations of the bow and arrow exhibition and vision, the bow and arrow need both hands, and the hand shield gradually disappeared in the long river of history. Maori Yuan obviously made ample preparations to break through the two camps of the Date Army, east and west. Some wooden shield equipment was prepared for the pioneer battalion, but most of the pioneer battalion was not used to it. Most of them are carried on the back as a protective gear to protect the back.

Kumagai Nobunao had just been attacked by bows and arrows and iron cannons, and he had already ordered his subordinates to hold small wooden shields, hold shields, guard their heads, and rush towards the city wall, the protection of wooden shields is not very good, and the iron cannons are enough to tear the wooden shields into the back body, not to mention that the small wooden shields can only protect the rest of the head and can be fatally wounded.

But the use of the wooden shield is only to protect the attack of the bow and arrow, don't look at the sword, gun, sword and halberd The lethality is huge, and the fight is like a river of blood and brains, and it seems to be very powerful, in fact, the most lethal in a battle is often the most inconspicuous Maruki bow.

The power of the Maruki bow has been belittled more than once before, but this is based on the samurai wearing armor, for the thin head and tail guard of the ashigaru and even the peasant soldiers, the lethality is still huge, otherwise it would not have become the protagonist of the era for a time, and most of the wars in the Kamakura shogunate era were the world of bows and arrows. With the development of armor forging technology, the Maruki bow became more and more difficult to deal with, which is why the more powerful iron cannons became popular later, but there were very few samurai who could afford a pair of armor, even the strongest regional overlord could not prepare a set of full-body armor for every samurai under his command, and the Maruki bow would also be exhibited with the times, and it was not until the end of the shogunate that the tactics of queuing up to be shot in history were pulled into the history of history, and modern times can only become toys in amusement parks and props in dramas.

The use of wooden shields reduces the lethality of bows and arrows, but it is obvious that the soldiers who raise the wooden shields can no longer climb up, and can only be passively beaten under the wall, and they will lose if they attack for a long time.

Mao Liyuan saw that the vanguard had attacked the wall, and according to common sense, it should be the time for a general attack, so he shouted with one finger in his hand: "Beat the drum, attack!" ”

Kagawa Katsuo, the brother of Kagawa Guangjing, shouted and led more than 100 strong men to carry a simple wooden ladder towards the earthen wall, originally Maori Yuan wanted to build a ladder, the ladder is not simply a ladder, there is a carriage under the folding ladder, and six wheels are placed. The carriage is completely enclosed and covered with raw cowhide. The soldiers who moved the ladder hid inside, not afraid of their bows. Moreover, the four sides of the ladder were wrapped in confiscated quilts and felt skins, and the smoke and rockets were impenetrable and could not be lit.

According to the forging technology of the Japanese people, it may not be possible to build such a ladder in a short period of time, but a simple ladder can still be completed, and Mao Liyuan does not have much time to find a craftsman who makes this kind of siege equipment. Without drawings and skilled craftsmen, it is very difficult to build a ladder, just like Zhengheng makes a catapult, which is also rudimentary and unusual at first, but only after taking over a country, it is slightly decent.

The simple wooden ladder is an extended version of the ordinary ladder, which is actually the appearance of the ordinary ladder connected, as long as it reaches the head of the city. The light drum advances, and the heavy drum hits. The sound of the war drums of the rear team gradually intensified, and the front team began to move slowly towards the earthen wall. Yoshikawa Motoharu ran forward, half-knelt on the ground, and raised his head and shouted: "Father, the child is willing to lead the headquarters and Kagawa Katsuo to attack the castle together." "Kagawa Katsuo is a few brave generals in the Kagawa family in addition to Kagawa Koshiki, once left the legend of the Great Snake retreat, Kagawa Kagawa Katsui died in battle because his wife was the in-law relationship of Katsura Motosumi's niece was appeased by Mori Motosho and temporarily served as the general of the Kagawa Department.

Yoshikawa Motoharu was scarred by the black cauldron of defeat after the battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, and he was angry with his stomach, and he could only sulk in his stomach when he saw that the Date clan and the Mori clan began peace talks, but when he saw that Mori Moto, he gave the order for a night attack, and the opportunity to show the humiliation of the past came.

Mori Motoharu glanced at the anxious Yoshikawa Motoharu, and knew that refuting his request for war would cause dissatisfaction among his second son, so he reluctantly attacked him, and asked him to be careful before leaving. Seeing Yoshikawa Motoharu leaving, Mao Li Yuan didn't move half a step, in fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to move, but his ankle didn't know when it was injured, and it seemed that there was no big problem, but now it gradually became painful. The war was tense just now, and he originally wanted to order Yoshikawa Motoharu to protect him, hoping to protect his safety when the war was unfavorable. didn't expect Yoshikawa Motoharu to actively ask for war, so he had to reluctantly agree in order not to make people feel inappropriate.

The war was anxious, and the night was covered up but no one showed Mao Liyuan's face was not good at this moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a faint look of pain on his face, he endured the pain and walked three or four steps, wanting to see if he was seriously injured. As a result, every time the left heel hits the ground, a tingling pain will sweep through the whole body, and the tingling pain stimulates the heart, it seems that this time it is not a simple sprain, but the bone of the heel is afraid of breaking. Mao Liyuan gritted his teeth and stood and looked at the battlefield fought for the city, his face became pale and abnormal, the more the corners of his mouth twitched, and obviously the ankle injury became worse.

The first wooden ladder leaned against the earthen wall, the head of the wooden ladder was tied with an iron hook, and after leaning on the earthen wall, it could be firmly nailed to use huge force to be able to pull away, and it was already on the top of the city when it was opened, and there would be a second one with the first one. Faced with this ant-attached scene, Yeshan Yichao did not panic and ordered gently. At the battlement of the city wall, more than a dozen rows of wooden forks were poked out, aimed at the wooden ladder, and hit hard, Kagawa Katsuo, who fixed the wooden ladder under the city, shouted and struggled to hold on, so that the wooden ladder did not fall.

Hundreds of people climbed fast enough to reach the middle of the wooden ladder. Kawasaki Yorihiro grinned fiercely and shouted loudly: "Is the golden juice ready, pour it down for me!" "Golden juice, that is, the dung of a person or a domestic animal, is heated with water until it boils, and it is called golden juice because of its golden color. This kind of gold juice is extremely powerful when defending the city, and when the hot gold juice is poured, it can not only burn the enemy soldiers, but also is extremely viscous, and will attach to the body, causing more damage. And such a gold juice also contains great toxicity, this kind of scalding, but also has a poisoning effect. With the medical level of this era, it can be done who occupies the Cheng dù who will die, which makes people panic when they think about it.

Dozens of Date soldiers lightly held a big horse spoon and scooped up the hot gold juice and poured it towards the city, those Maori troops who were rushing up were suddenly hit, and they all screamed again and again, Yoshikawa Motoharu saw that there was liquid on his head and fell, and he reflexively measured his body, but the armor was drenched with some, or there was a squeaky sound, and then there was a foul smell, and a Maori man's dragon suit behind him was suddenly hit, his face was full of smoke, screaming and falling, and he crashed into the crowd under the dense wooden ladder with the one behind him. He fell to his death on the spot, his brain burst, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. This kind of death is much more terrible than dying in battle on flat ground, and I can't stand the visual impact, a few cowardly, take a few steps back.

The golden juice flew sideways, and the casualties suddenly increased, and Yoshikawa Motoharu understood that there was nothing to do, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Fast! Fall back! The soldiers around him were already trembling with fright, and they looked at him and then at the samurai beside him, all of them with confused and hesitant expressions on their faces. Kumagai Nobu saw that it was Yoshikawa Motoharu, and he didn't care whether he got the order of Mori Motoharu or not, and he also shouted loudly: "Retreat!" All back! (To be continued!)
