Just when Cheng Xindong met with the in-laws of the clan to discuss resisting the invasion of the Luo family, the army of the Luo family had already arrived at the Kamio Castle of the Otsu Mountain family.

More than 2,300 Luo family troops were arrayed under the city. In the array, there seemed to be countless eagle-shaped flags, scattered around Kamio Castle.

In addition to the people of the Luo family, some local small wealthy families belonging to the Otsu Mountain family and the banners of the small lands all appeared in the Luo family's camp at the same time.

This caused the morale of the defenders of the Otsuyama family at the head of Shenwei Castle to drop significantly. Seeing that the opponent's military strength was several times that of his own, the Otsuyama family was bottomless in their hearts.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards of Mount Otsu in Shenwei City, a team of nearly two hundred people from the Luo family quickly approached the edge of Shenwei City, and then began to re-line.

This team of troops is a group of bows and arrows that are temporarily selected from various teams, and their task is naturally to use bows and arrows to launch an attack on the first slope of Shenwei Castle. The Luo family's bow and arrow ashigaru are all specially set up, just like the spear ashigaru and the iron cannon ashigaru, and their main training subject is archery. Every day, they had to shoot at least 300 bamboo arrows at the thatched targets in the training grounds, and the hit rate was not less than 50 percent, otherwise they would be punished by training alone, and those who did not meet the standards for three consecutive months would be sent back to the peasant corps, which had little to offer. Therefore, the archery skills of these Luo family's bows and arrows are not bad at all.

At this time, the bow and arrow phalanx of the Luo family was seventy or eighty meters away from Shenwei City, and according to the range of bows and arrows such as the general earth bamboo bow and Maruki bow, the archers of the Otsu Mountain family in the city could not shoot into the bow and arrow phalanx of the Luo family. Unless they have in their hands a heavy rattan bow or even a bow with a tire bow, which is more powerful and valuable.

When the bow phalanx is back in position for firing. As the temporary commander of the general, the Yuancheng Temple Nobuyin shouted: "Hold the bow and arrow in your hand. Don't miss. All of them are aimed at me, everyone is aiming. ”

"Ready, put!"

With the order of the Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, more than two hundred subtle and dull string sounds sounded, more than two hundred bows and arrows pierced the air and let out a low whistling, and the sharp and sharp arrows pounced on the heads of the panicked guards of Shenwei City at the head of the city.

"Puff ......"

After a burst of "poof" sound of a hard object being shot, another dull sound like a sack hitting the ground came with a "poof, poof...... sound.

It turned out that the arrows of these bows and arrows killed more than a dozen guards in an instant, and the sound just now was the sound of these guards falling to the ground.

The Luo family is equipped with the most advanced bow tire bow in the Warring States period. Its range was above two hundred meters, and the phalanx of the Luo family's archers was seventy or eighty meters away from Shenwei. This is exactly within the range of the bow tire. At such a close distance, the arrows fired by the bow are even more powerful and penetrating. The whizzing arrows pierced through the fragile bodies of the defenders of Kamio, and the remaining kinetic energy propelled them to continue on their way without stopping, until they were stopped by the hard bricks.

In an instant, more than a dozen guards were shot and killed by the Luo family, which immediately made the other guards in the city who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe look sideways, their mouths opened wide, and they didn't seem to expect that the bowstring of the Luo family would be so powerful, and they could shoot them from a distance of seventy or eighty meters. Originally, I saw that the Luo family's array was seventy or eighty meters away. They are not afraid of bows and arrows through the city walls, and their courage is still quite large. They all stood on the head of the city and pointed out the country, but who would have thought that at such a long distance, more than a dozen people would be killed and injured in one blow, which made them so embarrassed that they were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads to expose themselves, for fear of falling into the same fate as a lesson from the past.

"This ...... What kind of bow and arrow is this? Otsuyama Shidon also took out an arrow that had pierced his sleeve with the same palpitations, and then asked tremblingly. Just now, his right hand was almost pierced by an arrow that came from him, if he hadn't reacted in time and moved the position of his arm instantly, I'm afraid his right hand would have been abolished at this time.

For the question of Otsu Mountain Shidong, several Otsu Mountain samurai around him could not answer, although last year in the territory of the Odai family in Higo Tama County was ambushed by the Luo family, they all saw the strength of the Luo family's bow and arrow clan, but at that time, because the distance between the two sides was very long, so they couldn't feel the power of the Luo family's bow and arrow, but at this time they really saw the power of the Luo family's bow and arrow, but it was a little late, and even paid the price of two unlucky ghosts being injured by arrows.

For the situation in the city, the Yuancheng Temple under the city is naturally ignorant of the way. The only thing he saw was that after the first round of arrows was fired, all the defenders of the city turned into shrunken turtles, and they all shrank under the head of the city and did not dare to raise their heads. This time, even the Iron Cannon Team didn't have to go out.

"Stay in formation and be ready to attack." Seeing this scene, the Yuancheng Temple Xinyin Zhilu said that the bow and arrow phalanx he led could only rest for a while. The following is the siege time of the Luo family's siege force.

Sure enough, Enjoji Shinyin soon saw that Masara had given the order for a full-scale siege of the city. Hundreds of standing ladders quickly approached the walls of Kamio Castle. It was followed by a siege force of thousands of men. At the same time, the siege assault team composed of Masayo's banner also began to carry the giant tree towards the gate of Shenwei Castle.

The guards of the Otsu Mountain family at the head of the city were still hiding behind the battlements at this time, and at this time they were all pale, holding weapons in their hands, and their mouths were slightly open, and their hearts were beating violently. All of them looked nervous, gasping for air. The round of arrows from the Luo family almost scared them out.

It's just that no matter how fierce the attack is, there will be people who are brave and not afraid of death. At this time, a samurai of the Otsu Yama family, who was in charge of commanding several nearby peasant soldiers, secretly tilted his head, cautiously glanced outside from the gap in the battlements, his eyes suddenly widened, and he let out an earth-shattering roar: "The enemy is attacking, all ready for me, and when the enemy rushes to the city wall, give me a fierce shot." ”

Although he still has a bit of prestige, he can only order more than a dozen peasant soldiers under his command, and not many of the others obey his orders, which makes a few samurai who are on his equal level suddenly displeased, as if depriving them of their authority, they have issued all kinds of orders, some are guarding the gate, and some are directly sticking to Honmaru. Of course, although the orders are different, they all want to watch first.

As for Otsuyama Zidong himself, he had already been frightened by the arrow that Fang had just shot through his sleeve, and he had secretly returned to the council hall at this time. It's just that when the enemy is attacking on a large scale, the governor himself, who is the main general, has disappeared, how can this give the people below the courage to fight again? The soldier is the courage of the general, the soul of the soldier, and when the soldier is gone, where will the soldier still have the soul to continue fighting?

Of course, it is obviously impossible for such a concept to be realized by Otsuyama Shito, who has not studied the art of war. The only thing he knew was that he had just been frightened, and in order to prevent more of his subordinates from seeing his frightened appearance, he had to hide back in the council hall for a while.

It's just that as soon as he rests like this, the situation in the city becomes serious. Due to the lack of unified command, the defenders were unable to concentrate their superior firepower against the Luo family's troops, who had already begun to swarm along the ladders leaning against the city walls. Moreover, most of these defenders defending the city were temporarily recruited peasant soldiers, not only their combat effectiveness was average, but more seriously, it was the first time they saw someone using such a strange ladder to attack the city, and they were immediately frightened stupid, and their already low combat effectiveness dropped again and again.

When Otsuyama Shidong realized that he should not leave the city at this time, and immediately reappeared in the city, the army of the Luo family had already killed hundreds of people at the city head, and some people had even killed in the direction of the city gate to try to open the city gate.

"Lord, this city can no longer hold on, let's take advantage of the chaos and escape back to Nanguan City from the path behind the city." At this time, the retainers around him admonished.

"This is the home of my family for generations! And once we return to Nanguan City, we will become turtles in the urn, besieged by the Luo family. Otsuyama Zidong said without tears. (To be continued......)
