Shibata Takeroku and the remaining soldiers under his command looked at the Wei army surrounding him with a frightened expression, and they were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the Wei army on the front parted to both sides, and a general of the Wei army with a cold face appeared in front of them.
General Wei glanced at the soldiers of the Yamatai Army who were already in a desperate situation in front of him, and said coldly: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" ”
Shibata Takero, who originally intended to be loyal, couldn't help but feel that all the will in his heart collapsed instantly, hesitated for a moment, and knelt down towards General Wei with a complicated expression.
Seeing this, the surrounding Yamatai soldiers also quickly knelt down, and then the sound of begging for mercy sounded chaotically.
At the same time that Shibata Takeroku's army was smashed in front of the Modao army, Sanada Yukimura, who received Shibata Takeroku's signal, ordered the infantry army to attack from the front, and the cavalry, which was extremely precious to the Yamatai army, was also waiting at the foot of the mountain.
However, what Sanada Yukimura didn't expect was that after a strong attack for two quarters of an hour, there was no expected change in the opponent's camp.
Two quarters of an hour passed, three quarters of an hour, and Sanada Yukimura's head was already sweating, and the army under his command on the mountain road in front of him had suffered heavy casualties, but there was no movement in the camp opposite.
Sanada Yukimura muttered, "I'm just afraid that Shibata-kun has failed!" ”
Liu Sheng Xinyin on the side was taken aback, "What should I do then?" ”
Sanada Yukimura frowned, glanced at the hillside that made him feel pain, and then looked at the soldiers around him who were already very tired and demoralized, hesitated for a moment, and said categorically: "Attack!" Keep attacking! ”
The Yamatai army continued to storm the fort from the front. Until the sun goes down.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this battlefield, and the scene in front of him was really very miserable for the Yamatai army, the hillside was covered with the corpses of the Yamatai army, with different shapes, and the entire ground was stained with blood in a strange and mottled color. However, the internal response that the Yamatai army had been waiting for still did not appear.
Sanada Yukimura finally determined that the plan had failed, so he had to order a retreat.
All the officers and men of the Yamatai Army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The flames danced in the tent of the Yamatai army. Reflecting everyone's dark and changing faces.
"There's no news of Shibata Takeroku yet! It seems that they are finished! Zoichiro Himiya said in a deep voice.
There was a moment of silence in the tent.
Sanada Yukimura frowned and said, "King, I think we have one less thing to think about!" ”
Everyone glanced at Sanada Yukimura, and Shimizoichiro asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Sanada Yukimura hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "According to the performance of the Wei army defending the Qingchuan Fortress that day, they are different from us and the dog slave army, even in the face of sudden changes, they will never be in a mess, and they will inevitably fight to the death!" The strategy behind the side of the detour is wonderful. However, after all, General Shibata could only bring five or six thousand people, and this little force entered the Wei army camp, and he was only afraid of ・・・・・・" Speaking of this, Sanada Yukimura couldn't help but shake his head.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Shiba Saichiro nodded a little heavily: "Sanada-kun's words are good!" We really didn't think it through! ”
"So what now? Just attack from the front? An Evil Horse General couldn't help but ask.
Another Yamatai general suggested, "Why don't you bypass here and march directly to Yamatai City?" ”
"No! If this is the case, the logistics line of our army will be completely exposed in front of this Wei army! There is no need to fight this battle at all! "Sanada Yukimura Road.
"Sanada-kun is right! You can't do that! Ichiro nodded thoughtfully.
The tent was quiet again, and everyone had a very tricky feeling.
Until the time of the dissolution. Nor did they come up with a feasible strategy.
For the next few days, the main force of the Yamatai army was dragged here. There is no way to advance, no way to retreat, and the morale of the whole army is constantly declining.
On this day, Zuoichiro Himiya, who was discussing in the big tent, suddenly received a flying pigeon message from Changgang, and Changgang City was besieged by the main force of the Wei army!
Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, you must know that Changgang City is now the logistics center of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army. Almost 70 percent of their food, grass and cats were hoarded in Changgang, and many of them were seized from the dog slaves.
"King, Changgang City can't be lost! Otherwise, our army will only have to go north! One of the generals said with a tight face, and then all the generals in the tent echoed him.
Koya Saichiro thought for a moment. He decided to temporarily abandon the attack on Mt. Ontake, leaving a Wei army responsible for monitoring Mount Ontake, and he led the main force back to reinforce Changgang.
On the same day, Koya Saichiro led an army of 40,000 troops led by Honda Tadakatsu and other generals to the aid of Nagaoka: while Sanada Yukimura led tens of thousands of men to stay in place to monitor the Wei army on Mount Ontake.
At the same time, Naoe Qianxu, who was in charge of defending Changgang City, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the joint camp of the Wei army outside the city stretched for several miles, and the army of them was at least 100,000 people.
It was dark, but Naoe's nerves tightened even more, because the Wei army had not attacked during the day at all in the past two days, and they had attacked at night, and again, the North City Gate was almost breached.
As the night became thicker and thicker, the officers and men of the Yamatai Army defending Changgang couldn't help but become more and more nervous.
Suddenly, a signal rocket unique to the Wei army rose into the air from the east, and all the officers and men of the Yamatai army couldn't help but jump in their hearts.
The earth-shattering shouts and the roar of war drums resounded in the night sky, and then, the east gate of Changgang was violently attacked, and the soldiers of the Yamatai army defending the east gate only felt as if a fierce wind was constantly rushing over, and before the Yamatai army came back to its senses, the direction of the north city gate was also violently attacked, and the Yamatai army was overstretched and exhausted.
The sky was dark, and the officers and men of the Yamatai Army, who had finally heard it all night, only felt exhausted.
"General, if we continue like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold on for long! I don't know if the king has received our warning letter! The ministry general was worried.
Naoe Qian continued to frown, and said, "Immediately release the carrier pigeon and send the fast horse at the same time!" Send a few more fast horses! ”
"Hey!"
Naoe Qian continued to look at the continuous Wei army camp outside the city, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, but at the same time, he had a faint feeling that the Wei army's camp seemed to be too quiet.
Beya Saichiro led an army of 40,000 to Nagaoka, and two days later, the army crossed Nagano Castle and reached a gently undulating hilly area.
It's not yet noon, and it's about 20 miles from Nagano Castle, a hilly area that, although gentle, is wooded, and the Shinano River, the longest river in Yamadai Province, flows through it.
"Take a break, my lord! The soldiers are tired! Honda Tadakatsu came to Shichiro Himiya and asked.
Kiya Saichiro frowned, looked around, and saw that all the soldiers were full of fatigue, and he knew that it was no wonder that for more than a month, the soldiers under his command were in continuous battles and marches.
Kiya Saichiro nodded, "Make a fire to cook, and continue marching in an hour!" ”
However, the army was delayed for nearly two hours on the west bank of the Shinano River. (To be continued.) )
