"This method of siege... is really..." Yoshihiro Ikeda stood beside Yu Qiuhei, looking at the Red Leaf Army's siege with laughter and cry, trying to retrieve a word that can describe the scene in front of him from his poor vocabulary library, "simple and crude." Yoshihiro Ikeda thought for a moment and described it like this. But then shook his head dissatisfiedly, as if he felt that this word could not express all his inner feelings.
Yu Qiuping nodded, as if he had agreed to his statement. This move was actually achieved after he learned the truth with Qi Jiguang.
Sometimes, simple and clumsy methods may not be a good method.
As a famous general who can design a delicate formation like a mandarin duck formation and has extremely high attainments in command of the front line, Qi Jiguang's tactics when fighting against the nomadic cavalry seemed a bit monotonous - the chariot camp. He used chariots to form a circle around the infantry, surrounding the infantry, allowing the infantry to calmly shoot the nomadic cavalry.
Listing this formation means that you have given up all the possibility of battlefield maneuvers and keep the troops firmly dead in place, which is similar to blocking the city gate when defending the city. However, such a clumsy method has been used repeatedly by famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou - because this battle formation is simple and crude.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"If there is no trick to win unexpectedly, using stupid methods is not a bad thing, at least the enemy cannot make surprising plans." This is Qi Jiguang's teaching to Yu Qiuping that day.
So Yu Qiuping thought hard and came up with this set of methods of siege. When the siege party does not need to hurry and has an overwhelming advantage in firepower and troop strength, this kind of fighting cannons are used to specialize in a city wall, use iron cannons and artillery to suppress the long-range troops at the other side's city head, push the rusher to the city gate without any injuries, break the city gate open, and enter the street battle directly.

So, Sanhao Changyi met the most funny siege battle in his decades of joining the army. There were no arrows and projectiles in the siege battle, no dozens of ladders to the city, no rolling gravel wood, and no bloody battles at the city. Some were only the monotonous and dull collision sound between the city hammers and the city gate.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Send people to block the city gate quickly and hold on to it behind the city gate." Sanhao Changyi first issued a less difficult order. Then, he gritted his teeth and ordered sternly, "Everyone got up and fight back! The targets are the rushing car below and the iron gunners in the distance!"
He understood that if he did nothing and let the heavy and huge city hammer be installed, the city gate would sooner or later be broken. Even if the exchange ratio of the long-range soldier stood up and fought back would be very bad, he had to do so.
The moment the archers and iron gunners at the Sanhao family's city stood up, the iron gunners of the Red Leaf Army immediately fired. Because there were too many iron gunners of the Red Leaf Army, even if the Sanhao family had condescending terrain and battlements protected, the casualties were still very heavy, not to mention the whistling shells. In a blink of an eye, blood was covered with flowers on the city wall.
There is also a considerable amount of firepower at the top of the city, which is called toward the rushing cart below. However, neither torches nor bows nor arrows can cause damage to the layer of iron sheets. The projectiles only leave bullet marks on the thick layer of iron sheets and the thick wooden boards below. However, the rolling stones of the rushing cart thrown directly above the rushing cart are quite effective. Throwing once will cause a loud noise to make the eaves of the rushing cart, and a pit will appear on the eaves.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The Sanhao Army endured huge casualties and fought with the Red Leaf Army. The battle gradually became anxious. Cans of roasted jade were thrown from the city - this is a common method of attack by the navy. Fill the pot of gunpowder in the pottery jar, ignite the seal and throw it to the enemy. The shattered and splashed pottery pieces due to the explosion will cause cruel damage to the enemy soldiers and can also ignite the nearby wooden structures.
The iron sheets on the heavy rushing vehicle gradually shattered and fell off under continuous blows, and several wooden boards were ignited one after another. Seeing that the rushing vehicle was about to collapse, the auxiliary soldiers hurriedly pulled the rushing vehicle back from the city gate and pulled it to the open space beside them. Then, the iron artillery team and the artillery team fired a round of volleys, covering the dozens of auxiliary soldiers flocking to escape from the rushing vehicle - but many people were still knocked down by the Sanhao Army on the top of the city.
Before Sanhao Changyi could breathe a sigh of relief, another iron rusher was pushed up. It seemed that Yuqiu's family planned to use this clumsy method to chisel the city gate open. Anyway, Yuqiuping was not in a hurry. It was still a long time before the autumn harvest ended, so there was no need to worry about the reinforcements of Sanhao's family. Since that was the case, why did the ant support climb the city and cause major casualties to his troops?&1t;i>&1t;/i>
In this way, I didn't know how many rushing cars were damaged. In the afternoon, the east gate of Kishiwada Castle Minomaru was finally broken after a loud "boom". Miho Changyi had expected this, so he arranged a large number of troops in the city waiting for the Red Leaf Army to enter the city. The Red Leaf Army each held a long spear and could not exert power in the street fighting in narrow terrain, so he had the opportunity to block them outside the city.
However, to Mihao Changyi's surprise, as the vanguard, it was not the spearmen of the Red Leaf Army, but the elite Tachibana of the Ikeda Army. These Tachibana hold samurai swords, and each of them was a good player in the melee. They fought against the Mihao family who were not prepared for a while and retreated. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Tachibana followed the stairs inside the city wall to attack the Mihao family's long-range soldiers and auxiliary soldiers at the city head. Due to insufficient troops, the only war soldiers at the city head could not stop the Ikeda family's army, so Mihao Changyi had to withdraw them all back to Ninomaru.
However, after expelling the Miyoshi Army on the Minomaru wall, Ikeda's army also stopped and waited patiently for something. Soon, dozens of cloud ladders were mounted on the Minomaru wall. The iron gunners of the Red Leaf Army climbed the Minomaru city heading down the cloud ladder, which had been occupied by the Ikeda army, and then launched a shooting at the Minomaru wall on the Minomaru wall. This time, the Minomaru army had no condescending terrain advantage and was beaten so hard that they could not raise their heads. After a while, another iron rusher was pushed up and began to hit Ninomaru's city gate. The Red Leaf Army seemed to plan to use such a slow and clumsy way to defeat the entire Kishi Wada Castle. However, in the face of the absolute firepower advantage of the Red Leaf Army, Miho Changyi had no choice but to deal with him.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
That night, the rushing car failed to break open Ninomaru's city gate. However, Yu Qiupi was not in a hurry. After dark, even night blindness could complete such a simple task. Finally, in the middle of the night, Ninomaru's city gate was broken. However, Yu Qiupi did not mean a night battle, but patiently waited until the eastern sky turned white the next day before the attack was restored again.

"It's really too much!" Ogasawara Narusuke watched the Red Leaf Army slowly advance in this way, but his side had no choice but to do anything, and was furious, "Your Highness, let's fight! Rush over the city walls on both sides of Minomaru and clean up the iron gunners!"
"That's not a desperate effort, but a death." Sanyo Changyi glanced at the heavily guarded Red Leaf Army-Manomaru East Gate wall, where there were many pike soldiers waiting for him. They were enough to keep the city wall airtight.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Although I stayed here, I wanted to die." Sanhao Changyi added silently in his heart.
"What should I do? Should I just wait like this? Wait for the Red Leaf Army to come slowly and push down the Tianshou Pavilion?" Ogasawara Narusuke shook his head.
"No, of course not. But at least you have to die worthwhile." Sanhao Changyi narrowed his eyes, frowned, and looked at the battle situation in front of him. After a moment, he realized the omission of the Red Leaf Army's formation - a large number of troops poured into the vicinity of Sannomaru. Yu Qiuping was far away in the camp outside the city, and it seemed that only Xi Liu Bei's 75o spearmen and some cavalry were left.
"Battle his own formation!" A fierce light flashed in Sanhao Changyi's eyes, "If this serious problem can be eliminated, any price is worth it."
In general siege battles, the siege side of Yifu Dengcheng will have a full battle with the troops defending the city. However, Yu Qiuping's siege method, except for the long-range soldiers, had almost no contact between the melee soldiers on both sides - which also led to a huge hidden danger: Yu Qiuping didn't know where the melee soldiers of the Sanhao Army were.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
So, when Miyoshi Nagai led 14oo soldiers to suddenly break out from the north gate of Kishiwada Castle and headed straight for Yu Qiuhei's camp outside the east gate, it was really beyond his expectations. So he immediately ordered the artillery and the iron gunners at Minomaru Castle to launch a strike against Miyoshi Nagai's troops, and at the same time transferred all the long spearmen sent to the city to support Hirohiro Ikeda and the spearmen who were scattered back.
The condescending iron cannon shooting and the volley of artillery brought considerable casualties to the Sanhao Army, and the Red Leaf Army's maneuverability was far from Sanhao Changyi's imagination. He had to separate five people to hinder the maneuver of Chang Panbei and Mingdibei. When he suffered huge casualties and rushed outside the Yuqiuping camp, the remaining soldiers around him were not as many as those from Xiliu Bei.
As expected, the attack of the Sanhao Army failed to break through the defense line of Xi Liubei. Sanhao Changyi was already red in his eyes. He rode out with the 2oo flag knights beside him and rushed straight to Yu Qiuping's horse seal, intending to fight to the death to replace Yu Qiuping's life. However, Yu Qiuping was prepared, and the 4oo cavalry led by Xiaoba Jiesheng swept across the wall again with a formation like a wall.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The cavalry of the Sanhao family obviously did not have the courage and discipline of red-leaf cavalry. After seeing the desperate formation of the Red Leaf Cavalry, their morale had already collapsed. Half of them pulled out their horses and left, and most of the remaining people were hesitant. In the hedging, they only caused more than fifty casualties to the Red Leaf Cavalry, and almost the entire army collapsed.
Not long after, Maeda Keiji came to Yu Qiuping with a samurai covered in blood. The man's left arm had been cut off, and blood was lying on the wound that had not been bandaged. His body was covered with scratches and holes, and his face was covered with blood clots and bruises. His helmet was knocked off at some point, and his bun was scattered, his head was covered with mud and blood, drooping in a mess.
"This is Mihao Changyi, this guy, such a mad dog." Maeda Keiji snorted coldly, "After being chopped down the horse, he cut off his legs like a madman, and he was dead."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Yu Qiuping looked down at San Hao Changyi. The famous general was lifeless at the moment. I wonder if he was already in shock due to excessive blood loss.
Just as Yu Qiuping was thinking about how to use Sanhao Changyi, who was captured, to negotiate with the Sanhao family, the man in front of him suddenly broke free from the suppression of Maeda Kyoji and another soldier, and rushed towards Yu Qiuping. He was searched and had no weapons anymore, so he had to open his bloody mouth and bit Yu Qiuping's neck. His fierce and evil look was like a life-seeking evil ghost, which scared Yu Qiuping and hurriedly pulled out his hounds from his waist to block it.
