Chapter 2385: Tokyo Attack and Defense (Part 2)
[Soochow Double Wall: This skill is advanced from the 'Double Wall' and can only be activated when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are present at the same time, or when the successors of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are present;
(Note: When the relationship between two people is that of monarch and minister, the monarch entrusts full power to the minister. When the minister can represent the monarch, this skill can also be activated, but the effect is also reduced by half.)
Effect 1. After this effect is activated, the force of the two people is 3 at the same time, and the morale of the whole army is greatly increased, and the force of the whole army is 1.
Effect 2: When uniting the army in battle, the commander in chief will increase his command by 1 to 3 points.
Effect 3: When the intelligence attribute of your own commander exceeds the enemy's by 5 points, it can suppress the opponent's commander by 1 to 3 points;
Effect 4: When the enemy launches a skill that increases the effect of the entire army, the skill can be invalidated.】
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are worthy of being the founders of Soochow.
The combined skills of the two of them can not only increase the force, command, and the force of the entire army, but can also suppress the enemy general's command, and can even nullify the effect of increasing the entire army. It can be said to be quite comprehensive.
Through this skill, it is not difficult to imagine why Cao Cao was defeated so miserably in the Battle of Chibi.
At that time, there were only Cheng Yu and Jia Xu around Cao Cao. Cheng Yu obviously had no amplification skills, and Jia Xu was good at fishing in the water with caution, and was not trusted by Cao Cao.
In other words, the only increase that Cao Cao could get from external forces at that time was probably the "Five Sons of One Heart", but not all the five good generals gathered together.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu's side not only has the increase of "Double Wall of Soochow", but also the increase of Zhuge Liang's "Wolong", and even the increase of "Five Tigers Breaking the Ultimate".
The gap between the two sides, both in terms of command and strategic level, has been widened.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and all the people are on Sun and Liu's side. In addition, Cao Cao himself is also very swollen. It is incredible that Cao Wei can win this battle.
[Ding dong, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce’s combo skill ‘Double Wall of Soochow’ is activated with effect 2. When uniting the army in battle, the commander-in-chief of that person will increase by 1 to 3 points.
The current increase is 2 points for Commander Zhou Yu, and Commander Zhou Yu has increased to 104;]
Before getting the increase from the 'Double Wall of Soochow', Zhou Yu's commander-in-chief had already reached 102 points. The higher the commander-in-chief, the less the increase he would get.
However, the commander-in-chief at 104 points also showed Zhou Yu's highest level of army commanding ability so far.
"The whole army attacks." Zhou Yu waved his sword and shouted.
The military flag was waving, and all the troops obeyed the order, carrying their luck and rushing towards the city of Tokyo like a flood.
Before the siege team could reach the city walls, the catapult formations were the first to launch the attack. Thousands of stones were fired at once, roaring towards the city, which was devastating.
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless stone bullets were thrown down, the gravel exploded, the impact continued, and there was a continuous roar, and the entire city wall seemed to be shaking.
What followed was a rain of arrows all over the sky.
Tens of thousands of crossbows of various types fired arrows at the east gate at the same time. Tens of thousands of arrows were shot out in just one round, and the entire sky was covered in arrow rain.
Looking at the rain of arrows in the sky, Susano'o didn't know what to say for a moment. This is not a war, this is just taking money, food and resources to attack.
"Do all the Han people in the Central Plains attack cities like this?"
Susano'o murmured to himself, shocked by Nakahara's wealth.
As for Oda Nobunaga, he also had a solemn expression after seeing this scene. He had already received the news that the ninja army had been wiped out.
Oda Nobunaga knew the abilities of this group of ninjas, so he had high hopes for these 6,000 ninja troops. He originally expected the ninja troops to cause some trouble to Zhou Yu, but he did not expect that they would be wiped out by Zhou Yu so easily.
Oda Nobunaga also regretted this, but instead of organizing the ninja into an army, he handed over the command of the ninja army to Hattori Hanzo.
Oda Nobunaga didn't know that Hattori Hanzo was so stupid, so easily fell into Guo Jia's trick of luring the snake out of the cave, and ultimately destroyed his six thousand elite ninja army.
If Toyotomi Hideyoshi or Akechi Mitsuhide were to lead these six thousand ninja troops, they wouldn't have fallen into the trap so easily.
However, even without the six thousand ninja troops, Oda Nobunaga still had other arrangements. As long as the Four Great Walls were still there, the Han coalition would not be able to attack Tokyo with all its strength.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga was still unaware of his plan, which had been cracked by Guo Jia, and was preparing to concentrate his forces to attack Tokyo first.
On the battlefield of the meeting, the Qin and Wu allied forces had not yet rushed to the city. They killed and wounded more than a thousand soldiers of the Oda family just by operating catapults and crossbow formations.
Oda Nobunaga looked around and saw soldiers wailing everywhere on the city tower, so he decisively ordered: "Quickly, transport all the injured and dead soldiers back to the city. Those who are still alive squat under the city wall and use the city wall."
To avoid flying rocks and arrows."
[Ding dong, Oda Nobunaga’s skill ‘Demon Commander’ is activated with effect 1, commanding 2 when commanding infantry, and the overall quality of the entire army is partially improved.
The current commander-in-chief of Oda Nobunaga has risen to 104, and the overall quality of the entire army has been partially improved.】
With the increase of 'Devil Commander', Oda Nobunaga's commander once again equaled Zhou Yu, and also increased the strength of his army.
Under the command of Oda Nobunaga, the commander of 104, the Japanese soldiers all covered themselves up and hid under the city wall to avoid catapults and crossbow arrows. Sure enough, they avoided most attacks and minimized casualties.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers holding shields blocked the arrows while transporting injured soldiers who could no longer fight back to the city for treatment.
Outside the city, Uesugi Kenshin, Otomo Sorin, Mouri Yuanqing and other Japanese surrendered generals each commanded their own troops to launch a fierce attack on Tokyo City.
Qin Xiejun held a shield in one hand to defend himself from the arrows fired from the city tower, and carried a ladder in the other hand. After rushing to the bottom of the city tower, he immediately pushed the ladder down on the city wall.
Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers on the city tower quickly used tools to push down the ladder, but they found that there was a barb at the top of the ladder. After setting it up on the city wall, the barb infiltrated into the stone, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not push it away.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga immediately realized the problem and said quickly: "Stop pushing, quickly use the stone and rolling wood to knock down all the enemies on the ladder. In addition, quickly bring up the kerosene."
The ladders used by the enemy were specially made and equipped with undercuts. After people climbed up, the undercuts were put under pressure and embedded in the city wall, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to push them down.
Although fierce generals like Susanoo can push it down, their role cannot be used in this regard, so the best way is to burn the ladder with kerosene.
Qin Xiejun struggled to climb up, but when he climbed to the middle, a large number of rocks and rolling trees fell down. Whenever one person was hit, everyone below would suffer.
"ah……"
"No……"
"Yami falls..."
The screams could be described as coming and going.
Kenshin Uesugi, Sorin Otomo and others watched this scene helplessly. Although they were extremely intolerable, they were helpless and could only watch the soldiers die.
[Ding dong, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce’s combo skill ‘Double Wall of Soochow’ is activated with effect 3. When the intelligence attribute of your own commander exceeds the enemy’s by 5 points, it can suppress the opponent’s commander by 1~3 points;
Currently, Oda Nobunaga's intelligence is 82 (Heavenly Jealousy -3), and Zhou Yu's intelligence is 96. Zhou Yu's intelligence exceeds Oda Nobunaga's by 12 points, lowering his command by 2 points.
The current commander-in-chief of Oda Nobunaga has dropped to 102.】
Under the suppression of the "Double Wall of Soochow", the increases of Oda Nobunaga's "Demon Commander" were canceled out by each other, and the commander attribute dropped to 102, and was overtaken by Zhou Yu again.
The siege of the city was still going on, but not long after, the Soochow that was smashed down from the city tower was no longer stones and rolling wood, but burning kerosene.
The destructive power of this thing is much greater than that of a stone or a rolling log. If you hit it at any point, your flesh will be exposed. Let alone being hit head-on, it will definitely feel like life is worse than death.
Soon, all the ladders erected on the city wall were set on fire, and the smell of meat wafted over the entire battlefield.
Seeing this, Uesugi Kenshin couldn't stand it anymore, so he returned to the main formation and asked Zhou Yu to postpone the attack. He would first deal a big enough blow to the enemy troops on the tower, and then let the siege team carry out the assault on the city.
Uesugi Ken believed that although this method could reduce casualties, the time it would take to capture the city would definitely be greatly extended, so Zhou Yu ignored her at all and said with an indifferent expression: "Change a batch of ladders and continue to attack the city."
"promise."
A new batch of ladders was launched, numbering around 500, one hundred more than the first batch.
Uesugi Kenshin gritted his teeth angrily. These Han people really didn't regard the Japanese as human beings. In their eyes, the lives of the Japanese were just cannon fodder.
Zhou Yu saw Uesugi Kenshin's reaction. He was not prepared to pay attention to it at first, but for some reason he felt sorry for Uesugi Kenshin, so he said: "If the Japanese want to be treated well after the war, this is what they must go through."
sacrifice, otherwise the consequences will be even worse."
"you……"
Uesugi Kenshin glared at Zhou Yu angrily and wanted to refute, but was speechless and went back to direct the battle honestly.
Uesugi Kenshin's performance was obviously a bit ungrateful in the eyes of Yue Yun and other Qin generals.
Yue Yun suppressed his lips and said dissatisfied: "This Uesugi Kenshin, a mere king of subjugation, really regards himself as a person, and dares to contradict the governor."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by Zhou Yu's indifferent gaze.
Yue Yun was startled when he saw this, and closed his mouth with a sneer on his face, not daring to say any more.
The day's siege ended quickly.
Under the command of Commander 104 Zhou Yu, the Qin Xie Army suffered more than 5,000 casualties and lost nearly 1,000 ladders, but they still successfully captured the city tower.
However, not long after Qin Xiejun climbed onto the tower, Oda Nobunaga organized his forces and forcibly pushed him down from the tower.
Otomo Sorin, the governor of the Otomo family, was beheaded by Oda Nobunaga himself after he climbed onto the castle tower, and his head was hung on the city gate for public display.
After Otomo Zonglin died, Otomo Zonglin's son, Otomo Yoshito, and his younger brother Otomo Zongzhen, began to fight for power and gain in order to compete for the position of family governor.
However, both Otomo Yoshito and Otomo Qinzhen know that it is no longer their turn to make the decision in the Otomo family. There is only one person who can decide the family governor, and that is Zhou Yu.
Therefore, the uncle and nephew both came to see Zhou Yu in a tacit understanding, gave gifts and showed their loyalty, hoping that Zhou Yu could make them the governor of the family.
In this regard, Zhou Yu had no idea, so he asked Guo Jia: "Military advisor, who do you think can serve as the daimyo of the Dayou family after the death of Dayou Zonglin?"
"It is natural that father's legacy should be inherited by son. Letting Otomo Yoshitong succeed to the throne can avoid a lot of troubles," Guo Jiadao said.
"In that case, let Otomo Yoshitsune become the new daimyo."
In just a few words, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia decided on the position of the new daimyo of the Dayou family. In their eyes, Dayou's uncle and nephew fought for the position of daimyo in a bloody battle, which was insignificant and insignificant.
After learning that Zhou Yu and Guo Jia had chosen him, Dayou Yitong was naturally very hopeful. He swore a poisonous oath in front of them, saying that he would swear allegiance to the Great Qin to the death and that he would be loyal to the Great Qin.
When Otomo Chisada learned that he had lost the election, his face turned pale. He also knew that his nephew would never let him go, so he took the initiative to apply to participate in the siege. He decided to die bravely, and finally won the siege the next day.
He died tragically in the battle at the hands of the man who had to know.
On the first day of the siege, the Qin Xie Army suffered 5,000 casualties, but only caused less than 2,500 casualties to the Oda Army, most of which were caused by catapults and powerful crossbows.
This is enough to show that the defensive side still took advantage after all. Even if Zhou Yu, commander of 104, personally commanded, Oda Nobunaga, commander of 102 of the other side, still could not eliminate these disadvantages in the short term.
The next day, the siege of the east gate continued. At the same time, the moat of the west gate was filled in, and the Wei and Wu coalition forces also began to launch a fierce attack on the west gate.
The person guarding the west gate is Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Under the increase of the "Three Heroes of the Warring States Period", he did not activate his own commanding skills, and the commanding attribute was already as high as 100 points.
Among the allied forces of Wei and Song, Le Yi had the highest level of siege, so Xia Houyuan and Zhao Guangyi also gave this task to Le Yi. As generals, they came to help Le Yi instead.
Le Yi treated the Japanese surrender much more harshly than Zhou Yu. He ordered ten people to be organized into a small team. If one person escaped, the whole team would be implicated, and his family would not be harmed.
This also resulted in the fact that all the surrendered troops had only two endings. They could either fight tooth and nail with the Oda family so that the Kaja people would not be harmed if they died in battle, or they could conquer Tokyo City with Japan. Only in this way could they survive.
The ants are still alive, and since the surrendered army will surrender to the Han people, it means that they definitely don't want to die, so they can only fight with the Oda family and let everyone in the Oda family die.
Le Yi's aggressive behavior naturally made the surrendering army complain, but they only dared to be angry but dared not speak out. However, the intensity of the siege did increase a lot.
During the siege on the second day, the Wei and Song coalition forces suffered more than 7,000 casualties, but inflicted damage to the Oda family's 3,000 troops.
After the results came out, the generals of Qin and Wu in the east gate were also very excited. They suggested to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to imitate Le Yi's method and attack the city. After all, they, like Le Yi, did not care about the lives of the Japanese.
