Chapter 2385: Tokyo Attack and Defense (Part 2)
【Eastern Wu Double Wall: This skill is advanced from the 'Double Wall'. It 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 will be halved.)
Effect 1. After this effect is activated, the force of the two people will be +3 at the same time, and the morale of the whole army will be greatly increased, and the force of the whole army will be +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 1~3 points;
Effect 4: When the enemy activates 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, commander, and the force of the entire army, but can also suppress the enemy general's command, and can even negate 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 united", but not all the five good generals gathered together.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu 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, place, and people are all on Sun and Liu's side. In addition, Cao Cao himself is also very swollen. It's incredible that Cao Wei can win this battle.
【Ding dong, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's combo skill 'Double Wall of Soochow' activates effect 2. When uniting the army in battle, the commander who is the main general will increase his command by 1~3 points.
The current increase of Zhou Yu's commander-in-chief is 2 points, and the commander-in-chief of Zhou Yu is increased to 104;】
Before getting the increase from the ‘Double Wall of Soochow’, Zhou Yu’s commander-in-chief was already as high as 102 points. The higher the commander-in-chief, the less the increase he will get.
But the commander with 104 points is Zhou Yu's highest level of army commanding ability so far.
“The whole army attacks.” Zhou Yu shouted, waving his sword.
The military flag was waving, and all the troops obeyed the order, carrying the ladders one after another, and rushed towards the city of Tokyo like a flood.
Before the siege team could reach the city walls, the slingshot took the lead in launching an attack. Tens of thousands of stones came roaring in, which was a devastating attack.
Boom, boom, boom…
Countless stone bullets were thrown down, and the gravel exploded. The impact continued, making 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 shrouded 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.
“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 face 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 six thousand 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 and fell into Guo Jia's trick of luring the snake out of the hole so easily, eventually burying his six thousand elite ninja troops.
If it were Toyotomi Hideyoshi or Akechi Mitsuhide who was in charge of the six thousand ninja army, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap so easily.
However, even without the six thousand ninja army, Oda Nobunaga still had other arrangements. As long as the Four Davids remained, the Han coalition forces would not be able to attack Tokyo with all their strength.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga was still unaware of his strategy, which had been cracked by Guo Jia, and was preparing to concentrate his forces to attack Tokyo first.
Back to the battlefield, the Qin and Wu coalition 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 arrays.
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 ‘Magic Commander’ is activated with effect 1. When commanding infantry, the commander +2, and the overall quality of the entire army is partially improved.
The current commander-in-chief of Oda Nobunaga has increased to 104, and the overall quality of the entire army has been partially improved. 】
With the increase of ‘Demon Commander’, Oda Nobunaga’s commander once again equaled Zhou Yu, and also increased the strength of his army.
Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Oda Nobunaga, the Japanese soldiers all bowed 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 resisted 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 and launched 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 the ladder down, but found that there was a barb at the top of the ladder. After setting up the city wall, the barbs 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, use stone and rolling wood to knock down all the enemies on the ladder. Also, quickly bring up the kerosene."
The ladder used by the enemy was specially made and equipped with barbs. After people climbed up, the barbs were put under pressure and embedded in the city wall, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to push it down.
Although strong 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 halfway up, a large number of rocks and rolling trees fell down. If one person was hit, everyone below would suffer.
"ah…"
"No..." "Yamei fell..."
The screams could be described as one after another.
Uesugi Kenshin, Otomo Sorin and others watched this scene helplessly. Although they were extremely intolerable, they had no choice but to 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 one's own commander exceeds the enemy's by 5 points, it can suppress the opponent's commander by 1 to 3 points;
The current intelligence of Oda Nobunaga 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 in Oda Nobunaga's "Magic Commander" were offset by each other, and the commander's attributes dropped to 102, and he was overtaken by Zhou Yu again.
The siege continued, but after a while, the things smashed down from the towers were no longer stones and rolling wood, but burning kerosene.
The lethality of this thing is much greater than that of a rock or a rolling log. It will tear open the skin and flesh every time it hits it, let alone being hit head-on. It feels absolutely worse than death.
Soon, all the ladders on the city wall were set on fire, and the smell of meat wafted over the entire battlefield.
Uesugi Kenshin couldn't bear to see this 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 break the city would definitely be greatly extended, so Zhou Yu ignored her at all and said with an indifferent expression: "Change a group of ladders and continue to attack the city."
)
A new batch of ladders was launched, numbering around 500, which is 100 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 all of 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-in-Chief 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.
Shortly 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 city tower, and his head was hung on the city gate for public display.
After the death of Otomo Sorin, Otomo Sorin's son, Otomo Yoshitoshi, was also close to his younger brother, Otomo Sorin. In order to compete for the position of family governor, they began to fight against each other and fight for power.
However, both Otomo Yoshitoshi 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.
So the uncle and nephew 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.
Zhou Yu had no idea about this, so he asked Guo Jia: "Military advisor, who do you think can be the daimyo of the Dayou family after the death of Dayou Zonglin?"
“Father’s legacy should be inherited by his son, and it is natural for him to inherit the throne from his father. Let Otomo Yitong succeed to the throne, which can avoid a lot of trouble.” Guo Jiadao.
“In that case, let Otomo Yoshitsune become the new daimyo.”
Zhou Yu and Guo Jia decided on the position of the new daimyo of the Dayou family in just a few words. The position of the new daimyo that Dayou's uncle and nephew fought for was insignificant and dispensable in their eyes.
When he learned that Zhou Yu and Guo Jia had chosen him, Dayou Yitong was naturally overjoyed and swore a poisonous oath in front of them, saying that he would swear allegiance to Da Qin to the death and that he would be loyal to Da Qin.
When Otomo Okasada 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. Died tragically in the battle at the hands of the man who needs 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.
From this it can be seen that the defensive side still took advantage after all. Even if Zhou Yu, the commander of 104, personally commanded, he still could not eliminate these disadvantages in the short term against Oda Nobunaga, the commander of 102.
The next day, the siege of the east gate continued. At the same time, the moat of the west gate was also 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.
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 escapes, the entire team will be implicated, and his family will also be affected.
This also causes all surrendered troops to have only two endings:
1. Fight desperately with the Oda family. If you die in battle, your family will not be harmed;
2, conquer the city of Tokyo, and this is the only way to survive;
The ants are still alive. Since the surrendered army will surrender to the Han people, it means that they definitely do not want to die, so they can only fight with the Oda family and let 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 of 3,000 troops.
After the results of this battle 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.
