Chapter 813 News from the sea

There were shouts of killing nearby, firearms and bowstrings sounded, and the noise was loud, and countless shaking stars in the distance were large numbers of people!Although it was early morning, everyone was awake!

The soldiers on the top of the solid wall of the fortress were holding muskets and crossbows, and their eyes widened.

Ah!Suddenly, a Japanese samurai turned over with his hands and swords, and suddenly there was a crackling sound... With a scattering sound, the guy's whole body was like a slam, blood holes on his torso splashed, and arrows were inserted into his body. The guy didn't snort, leaned forward and fell to the ground.

After a while, two more Japanese warriors emerged. They immediately pulled the bow, but it was too late. The crossbow arrow flew over first, and the two of them fell down from the wall like hedgehogs.

There were two cannons on this corner wall loaded with gravel iron pieces in the evening, but they were useless for a while... The opportunity to use was just the last defense of a large number of enemy soldiers rushing to the city wall!

No other situation can be used, the shotgun range is only a few dozen steps, and the opposite corner wall cannot reach this side; the cannons on this side cannot bombard the wall because the negative elevation angle of the cannon is very small.

But it was really difficult for the Japanese army to rush up too many people, and the firearms on the corner wall across the corner kept shooting at the side and back of the person climbing the ladder.

It is very difficult to climb the wall with such a simple ladder when it is hit by fire on both sides. It is difficult for a few people to come up.

It is already very rare for the Japanese army to fail to collapse!

In the middle of the wall, there were even fewer Japanese soldiers who could rush up. Occasionally, an enemy soldier climbed up the battlement, but it was full of Xu's army. Reinforcements from the city came in!

Wow!The Japanese warrior was very brave and waved his sword with both hands. The Xu army soldier in front was wearing armor, but he was holding a short single knife in his hand, and he stabbed him nearby.

Unexpectedly, the warrior was very skillful in fighting. After a move, the warrior avoided the attack in the narrow space, and at the same time, he hit the shoulder armor of Xu Jun soldiers with one knife.

clang!The violent metal impact sounds, the sound of the blade pulling on the metal, squeaking, making people feel toothy.

In an instant, the warrior hissed and another cherry gun stabbed into his waist.

The warriors' life-successful rush gave the trunk a little space, and someone immediately climbed up again!

At this moment, I heard a deafening sound from the hole in the wall, and the moment the artillery fired was illuminated.

Xu Jun earthen castle is not good-looking, but the shape is very regular, and the overall shape is almost circular. However, the six solid walls are triangular and convex two sides.

Opposite the wall here is a six-color triangle solid wall, facing the side and back of the Japanese attack direction.

Three cannons fired on the opposite Liuhua wall. The distance was close, and the deviation was as good as the shells were in a parallel direction to the wall here!

Suddenly, several whistling iron balls almost flew over the wall, bouncing on the ground with brute force!

Ah... The soldier standing under a ladder opened his mouth wide, watching a howling black shadow bounce from the ground, almost rubbing his face over, and the ladder suddenly broke with a click, as if flying!

The soldier was so scared that he stood there like a wood, and he had not come to his senses for a long time.

Many ladders were knocked away under the artillery fire, and the enemy soldiers attached to the wall and under the wall were shouting in chaos.

Boom boom boom... Artillery everywhere began to roar one after another.

There is nothing in the night sky, but the howling iron ball is extending into the torches...

The scene of the Japanese defeat was almost impossible to see, but the backs of the remaining defeated generals could be seen in the flash of fire.

The huge cannon sound and dense musket blasts covered up many tragic shouts, and many lives disappeared silently in the night.

Zhang Jiankui and others felt the danger of being approached by the enemy tonight, so they made some changes to their night defense.

The defense changes of secret whistles are more frequent to prevent people on duty from falling asleep; prepare hot turbulence in the defenders; at the same time, after nightfall, they will launch light rockets into the air at any time... There are gunpowder cartridges tied to the arrows, which can illuminate the ground within a short period of explosion.

Xu Jun suffered heavy casualties overnight than before, mainly killed by bows and arrows, with fewer deaths and more injuries.

The few people who were shot to death were only unlucky and were shot in the face!

As long as the arrows are not shot into the front door, even if the arrows penetrate the armor, they will not be injured deeply, and will not cause death... The Japanese warriors' bows and arrows are not small, especially the lethality in the near area, and some plate armors are shot through!

...The next night, the Japanese army attacked again at night, but this time the results of the battle made Ono Yoguru unsatisfied and was knocked back by muskets before they even approached the fortress.

A general who participated in the night attack made a statement: Ono Jun, the general thought that under such circumstances, the enemy's firearms were too strong, and it was difficult to succeed in siege alone; the fort was small and difficult to carry out the number of people, and it was even more impossible to gather troops in the fort to fight together, so they could only be killed by the enemy!The last general suggested that there is no need to climb the wall when attacking at night. As long as you try to get close, use bows and arrows to kill and consume the enemy.

Yoko Ono also realized a problem. He suffered heavy casualties here, but his mentality was never adjusted: in fact, this inconspicuous fortress cannot be conquered overnight...

A very strange fort!It can only accommodate a few hundred people; but after trying every means, it is still difficult to break the troops with an absolute advantage.This has been separated from Ono's long-term insight.

A few days later, Yoko Ono got a news from the war on the sea.

He now valued Yang Gun, a Khitan, and then told Yang Gun the news: The Goryeo fleet was close to Tsushima Island, and in addition to the Goryeo navy, it was also filled with grain, which must have come to reinforce the Ishimi Fort.But there were not many ships, and they were discovered and encircled and annihilated by the Japanese army, and most of the food and grass were seized.

After hearing this, Yang Gun pondered for a long time and said: The Goryeo must be talking about something with Xu Guo.What they were all focused on was to obtain the old land of the Bohai Kingdom and restore the territory of Goguryeo; the Koryo Kingdom had prepared and operated Pingjing (Pyongyang) for many years, and continued to migrate populations to the north, attracting and inciting people of all ethnic groups in the old land of the Bohai Kingdom to join, but never gave up ambitions.

The old land of the Bohai Kingdom had a population of various ethnic groups, but there were not many Khitans. The Daliao's troops in the Bohai Kingdom were sparse, but it still made Goryeo very afraid. Therefore, the Goryeo people wanted to use the power of Xu to deal with the Daliao.This time, it was mostly to please Xu Guo, and to use this as a reason for negotiating conditions.

Ono Yoko listened carefully and nodded slightly.

Yang Gun said again: The Goryeo only wants the old land of the Bohai Kingdom and has no interest in the land of Japan across the sea.On the one hand, they wanted to please Xu Guo and acted like this; on the other hand, they were never willing to mobilize the whole country to conspire with Xu Army to advance eastward, otherwise they would not have the strength to compete with the Bohai Kingdom and the Liao Army, and they would not be able to occupy such a vast land.

After hearing this ono Haogu, he thought to himself that this Khitan was not only a military general, but at least he was quite knowledgeable about the overall situation.

Although some of the usual subtitles made Ono Haogu unhappy, the longer they spent time together, the more they became more impressed on him.

Yoko Ono believed that Xu's army was weak at sea, otherwise there would be no need to ask the Goryeo Navy to help.

The Goryeo people were unwilling to do their best. For a long time, the Japanese navy was able to blockade the sea reinforcements of Ishimi Fort.

He reexamined the battle situation and believed that the previous strategy was wrong: first of all, he underestimated the enemy, and he suffered losses more than once... But there were only a few hundred people in the enemy's army, and this idea was like a demonic obstacle in his heart.

Secondly, in the mentality of underestimating the enemy, he felt that he had been under a mistake strategy, which was to be persistent in rushing to break through the fortress in an instant.

Ono Yoko thought for a long time and re-formed his combat strategy: first he sieges the Ishimi Fort for a long time, dig a ditch to get close to the fortress, and then attacked them with small elite troops at night, and used the night to shoot with bows and arrows to consume Xu's soldiers and ammunition.

When the ammunition and food are exhausted and the troops are exhausted, then attack the city again!

There are some details in this strategy.

The Shijian Fort is different from ordinary square shapes. Even if the trench is dug, it cannot guarantee that the soldiers hidden inside will not be attacked, because no matter how the trench is digging, as long as it is too close, the flanks and backs will always be exposed to enemy firepower in a certain direction.

However, it is safer to move to the outer periphery of the protruding groove... It is better than being bombarded by artillery a mile away.

In addition, this slightly prevents Yogu Ono from increasing his troops, but requires more elite samurai.

So he had no choice but to write a letter to Heian Kyo and ask the court to send more elite samurai soldiers to come for reinforcements.

……

When Ono Yoko's memorial to seek soldiers arrived at the Heianjing court, the ministers' mood can be imagined!Fifty times the troops have been besieged for more than a month, but have not captured the Xujun Fortress, and now we need reinforcements?

The ministers accused Ono Yoko, and some people could no longer bear it. They directly submitted a memorial request to recall Ono Yoko back to the court to question the crime, and sent another good general to Ishimi!

Even the Minister of Care of Fujiwara Mirai, who was forced to support Ono at the beginning, was also dissatisfied at this time.

However, on the pavilion, a very silent middle-aged man said softly: Minister Left first reads the secret report. The lower official believes that sending anyone to Ishimiguo can not do better than Onojun.

When Fujiwara Mirai heard this, her heart suddenly felt chill and her body seemed to shivering.

In his heart, he would rather believe that this was the evil result of Ono Yogu's incompetence... If it weren't for this, how unimaginable would Xu Jun's combat power be?

Fujiwara Mirai couldn't help but say in a deep voice: There are only hundreds of people in Xu!That small Tuzhai is not a big city that has been operated for many years, but a temporary earthen wall...

The middle-aged man slowly walked up and bowed his hand to Fujiwara Mirai.Fujiwara Mirai calmed down and reached out to take it.

Before he could see it, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, because he still believed that the people around him would not talk nonsense.

The whole situation seemed to feel out of control in an instant!Everything is vulnerable to the face of rough force...
