"There are still 42,000 people left." The subordinate samurai began to report the number of the army to Minamoto Yoritomo.
It is claimed to be an army of 100,000, but the actual number is less than half.
And Minamoto Yoritomo gently knocked on the wood at hand. In less than a week's march, the original army of more than 50,000 people lost nearly 10,000 people, although some of them were killed by the detonation trap set by the Kyoto ninja men.
.
But most of them died in the weather, with the average temperature reaching minus 10 degrees Celsius, and some died of illness.
The shogunate soldiers who are still alive now have unknown sores on their bodies for unknown reasons, and each one of them is beginning to feel weak, as if a great plague has begun to spread among the army.
There are even a small number of people whose pupils are filled with bloodshot eyes and saliva dripping from their mouths.
If future generations see such symptoms, they will understand that these people are the early manifestations of mad cow disease. This subacute prion can cause a person's mental symptoms to rapidly weaken in just a few days, and then lie dormant for months to years.
No wait.
And it’s not just mad cow disease, there are even more terrifying plagues that have yet to break out.
The nearly 10,000 dead bodies no longer came here on carts. Now there are only a few thousand corpses left on the carts behind the shogunate army. The remaining corpses were all thrown to the roadside along the way, becoming the best buffet for monsters.
.
Even though the weather is cold, many of these corpses are beginning to rot and appear giant.
At this time, Eva's interceptor is overlooking the ground at an altitude of hundreds of meters. The interceptor's camera and memory can bring these videos back to Eva, and then hand them over to Levi for analysis.
"Buzz!"
Continuous explosions sounded, and mushroom clouds rose into the sky, covering all onlookers in liquid rubber and sugar covered with white phosphorus in an instant.
The number of cannon fodder in this first batch of charges was five thousand.
Rather, it is a method that has been applied in warfare years ago. By making the divine blood in the divine fetus into a fine needle and inserting it into the body, an "Onimusha" can be created that is far stronger than ordinary samurai.
"Be ready to supply and fight at any time, our work is equally important." Koizumi exclaimed.
Yamata no Orochi...is afraid of that kind of flame...
At this time, on the east wall of Kyoto, interceptor planes parked behind the city wall gradually took off. At a glance, more than a dozen half-meter-long Silver Snake Birds all took off, and the wind pressure blew away the snow on the ground.
, it is particularly obvious that several kilograms of napalm are mounted below.
As long as the catapult enters the range, those fused corpses carrying the plague can be launched into the city of Kyoto.
"boom!"
The shogunate army stopped more than ten kilometers away from Kyoto and started to light a fire to cook. This time it was their last meal. Even the lowest level people knew that this might be their last full meal.
"Yes, according to the ninja's intelligence, the rats in Kyoto may be longer than humans." The subordinate responded.
"No, it's impossible. Yamata no Orochi's power is unmatched in the world, how could he be afraid of a mere flame!" Minamoto Yoritomo hammered on the tree, almost breaking the tree.
The range of the Shenwei Guobeng cannon is 1 kilometer, and the ultimate range can reach more than 2 kilometers. The interceptor's longest cruising range is 200 kilometers, and after carrying napalm bombs, the longest cruising range is only 80 kilometers.
At this time, around 11 o'clock at noon, the shogunate troops who had been traveling all night made slight adjustments and cooked for several hours.
"Siege the city!" the leading warrior ordered.
Everyone looked at the falling body of the egg, and when the napalm bomb was about twenty meters away from the ground.
Then the terrifying temperature made any shogunate within the range turn into corpses without any struggle, and then merged directly with the pool of burning liquid.
And as long as the commander of Kyoto is not a fool, he will not let the few soldiers in Kyoto go out of the city to meet the enemy. The number of soldiers, less than a thousand, goes out of the city to fight against 40,000 people?
Onimusha even have powerful vitality and resilience that are almost as strong as demons, and after Onimusha dies, they will turn into monsters.
After being implanted with blood thorns, they all scratched their heads and scratched their heads. Some even began to scratch their skin, tear open their mouths, and pierce their temples with their fingers, because this would make them more comfortable and make them more unable to extricate themselves.
At this time, Minamoto Yoritomo also sent people to pour hot water on the corpses on the carts.
"Hai!"
"Start charging, target Kyoto!"
Blazing flames flew in all directions, directly igniting the trees around the explosion. The iron sheet wrapped on the napalm bomb instantly turned into billions of molten jets after the explosion, carrying the burning liquid rubber of the napalm bomb and turning the entire battlefield into a sea of fire.
.
"The first team of 5,000 people began to attack, spending Kyoto's bows and engineering equipment on me, waiting for the catapult to enter the shooting range." Minamoto Yoritomo smiled grimly.
Even the porridge this time was extra sticky, and although there was a lot of bad meat in it, there was a lot of it.
In such cold weather, dozens of corpses on the cart will melt under the influence of hot water and briefly merge together. The bodies, heads, and limbs will twist into one in the cold snow.
A mass of fused ice in the form of lumps or spheres.
Their current mission has completely changed, and now they have become waiting to resupply the interceptor and load explosives for the Shenwei Kingdom.
So they were all extremely relaxed, and many of them were even catching up on their sleep.
"No, this time instead of napalm bombs, white phosphorus bombs will be used." came Levi's voice.
These are exactly the "ammunitions" Minamoto Yoritomo prepared for the catapult.
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and everyone in Kyoto was waiting for the attack, and anxiety and panic continued to spread.
Violent fire and explosions shot into the sky, forming a star-shaped mushroom cloud.
And these diseased corpses become the last rations.
"Attention on the east wall, the first round of bombing has begun." Li Wei said coldly.
Therefore, for round-trip bombing, the interceptor has enough power for four trips.
Although the group of ghost warriors from twenty years ago turned into monsters and occupied the outside of the city, causing heavy losses to the entire Genji shogunate.
Some people who were frightened and wanted to escape were stabbed into skewers from bottom to top by the samurai, and they were still struggling even before they died. This horrific behavior made all those who wanted to escape immediately give up their plans to escape.
He could even sit back and wait for the plague to naturally destroy the entire Kyoto.
Interceptors do indeed lay eggs, but they lay napalm bombs.
For some reason, these people began to feel a violent and twisted feeling coming from their bodies, and they just wanted to destroy.
"Listen to my orders again, and all the warriors will start piercing the bodies of the Mudlegs with divine blood, and the real war will begin." Minamoto no Yoritomo smiled.
More than 40,000 people were dispersed and connected for more than ten kilometers, forming a semicircle and tightly surrounding Kyoto.
Even when the ball fell in mid-air, they waited near where it would fall.
Then he discovered that it was not him who was afraid, but his spine, the Yamata no Orochi spine that had now been fused with the Amancongyun sword spine, and he began to feel fear and fear again.
And Levi really felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. His perception told him that Yoritomo Minamoto would definitely have extremely vicious tricks.
More than five thousand people started running towards Kyoto like mad dogs.
Although more than a dozen napalm explosions ignited a part of the forest, the scope of the impact was too small. In addition, there was heavy snow on the trees and the ground, so it was not possible to set the mountain on fire for the time being.
"Look, there's that big silver bird in the sky again." Someone on the ground pointed to the sky.
A dozen interceptor planes returned successfully, and the warriors who had been waiting for a long time began to load the prepared napalm bombs on the hooks under the interceptor planes, waiting for them to take off again.
Li Wei saw Minamoto Yoritomo's layout, and even headed straight into the distance to see all Minamoto Yoritomo's catapults, a total of 23. He didn't know how much energy Minamoto Yoritomo spent on building so many catapults.
For some reason, he began to feel a deep sense of fear, and his hands began to tremble. Especially when he looked in the direction where the flames were scattered, he felt a sense of fear coming from the bone marrow that hit his whole body. He couldn't help but
Trembling.
"What did the big bird drop?" someone shouted, looking at the sky curiously, and even started running towards a spherical object dropped by the interceptor.
But it can't get any worse. Now that Pandora's Box has been opened, all that needs to be done is to make better use of its power.
"Big birds! Big birds are actually flying in flocks!" someone from the shogunate army exclaimed.
At this time, Levi had already arrived at the Kyoto city wall. It was necessary to go to the front line, but the disadvantage was that he could not receive real-time information from Eva. At this time, he understood the importance of communication.
As for long-range bombing, Levi had used it once before when fighting ten people. That time it was because the enemies were all concentrated in the Hojo mansion, and the Thousand Paper Cranes of the Tsuchimikado family were equivalent to a one-time suicide bombing.
Dozens of interceptor planes took off one after another, flying at low altitude and preparing to drop napalm bombs more than ten kilometers away.
"Change to white cannonballs."
The first batch was purely cannon fodder, and even the tens of thousands of forcibly recruited militiamen were all cannon fodder.
As for those farmers who are still alive, they no longer have much use value. Their greatest value is coming to Kyoto, and what is left is enough.
All the warriors were stunned. They really didn't know what white phosphorus bombs were and napalm bombs.
And that's not all the vicious tactics, he also prepared even more insidious tactics.
Even for a middle- and lower-level samurai, this battle is as simple as searching for something. No matter how you put it, there are more than 40,000 people against a thousand people in Kyoto. The advantage is mine.
…
"General...this is..." the warriors exclaimed in shock.
Minamoto Yoritomo, who was taking a nap, was instantly awakened by the explosion. He quickly walked out of the camp and saw mushroom clouds and black smoke rising from other places in the distance. The thick smoke was particularly obvious in the pure white snow.
The flames were filled with howls and cries of pain.
For a time fires swept through the winter-dry forest.
But Koizumi just saluted to the interceptor fleet: "Say, I wish you all great success."
Otherwise, Eva's own LAN covering several kilometers can only cover from Arashiyama to Flower Street at best.
With the flags waving, these people began to attack in the direction of Kyoto.
The interceptor planes that had completed the bombing plan passed overhead one after another. Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks and sighed after seeing the big bird go away.
"General Minamoto, the situation is urgent. People in Kyoto don't respect martial ethics. They don't know where they tamed the big bird, and then the big bird started setting fire..." A samurai explained hesitantly. From his perspective, he could only think so.
.
"Come on!"
Their role is to consume Kyoto and serve as a shield for the catapult to be able to successfully push it into range.
Everyone looked to the sky and saw a line of interceptor planes flying past in neat rows.
"Why, I would be particularly afraid of such flames..." Minamoto Yoritomo couldn't believe it.
"Kill!"
They feel that as long as these mud-legged people are a little braver, Kyoto can be easily broken like an egg.
The interceptor took off again, stirring up large snowflakes.
If this war can end successfully, the first thing Levi will do is to generate electricity and build a power grid, followed by building communication towers.
The warriors took off the cloth strips on their foreheads and waved them towards the squadron of interceptors flying out.
"The plague is inevitable. Besides, I heard that there are a lot of rats in Kyoto." Yuanyori raised the corner of his mouth. Even these dead guys can provide him with enough effect.
"Hai."
But now, while they are actually eating after they light the fire and cook.
There are even some cases where obvious lesions can be seen.
"Give me the order. The first team will start to charge. The others will spread out in small groups and wait for the order. They will attack from above at the same time. Anyone who dares to retreat and disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!" Minamoto no Yori showed a cold look in his pupils. He suddenly felt that this
I'm afraid there will be huge variables in this war.
"Boom boom boom!"
Everyone of them was very relaxed at this time. No one believed that Kyoto could launch an attack from a distance of more than ten kilometers. After all, in this era, even the longest-range catapult only had a range of five to six hundred meters.
The warriors then understood and immediately replaced the napalm bombs under the interceptor with white phosphorus bombs.
"Oh, the birds in Kyoto are different from those in Shendu. They can also lay eggs in the air." A samurai from Shendu felt that this was really strange.
He was not prepared at all for how powerful these tens of thousands of farmers who had been forcibly signaled would be. His purpose had always been this.
"This is the life force obtained by General Yuan. With it, you can defeat any enemy!" The warriors shouted at the people who were stabbed with blood needles.
But today's interceptors are devices for cruising and bombing in turns.
The shogunate army was integrated again, and this time, each of the forcibly recruited militiamen had a tiny blood needle forcibly inserted into their hands.
"What kind of trump card can Minamoto Yoritomo use? The Onimusha injected with divine blood?" Li Wei thought like this and looked to the east.
At this time, his powerful vision saw the situation in the distance.
