- "Gentlemen, you must remember. What we are stepping on is the eternal city of Jiuzhou. It has withstood the siege of a hundred thousand troops without ever falling, so it is impossible for these enemies with only a few thousand people to surrender. This city fell. You must have a strong belief in this. You must not be frightened by the enemy and lose your courage."
Toyaya Saburo said to the generals around him very seriously.
There is no doubt about the strength of the enemy. After all, these enemies defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces of 150,000 people on the Maitreya Plain with less than 10,000 troops.
With fighting power like this, it is absolutely powerful if you look at the Japanese country.
?????????????????????????? Because in a battle like the Mirokuhara, there will never be any famous names or generals in the Japanese country. I dare to say that they can achieve such a result with so many troops.
But even so, they cannot be scared to death by the enemy.
If they don¡¯t fight the enemy, they will lose their courage first, and in the end there will be no need to fight at all.
How can a group of defenders without courage defend a city?
Toyaya Saburo understands this truth very well, that's why he said so many words to the generals and subordinates around him.
He just wants his generals to understand this truth.
That is, as long as their courage is not lost, then with the city defense of Shiliang City, they may not be the opponents of those enemies.
"You all, take a look. The enemies outside the city are actually the same as us. They are made of flesh and blood and there is nothing to be afraid of. They are not the evil ghosts from hell that people say in the rumors. There are no green faces and fangs. It¡¯s scary.¡±
In order to restore the courage of his men, Saburo Toyaya kept pointing at the imperial army outside the city and talking to his men.
Oh, isn¡¯t it?
Looking at the enemies outside the city, they were just ordinary people like themselves, there was nothing special about them at all.
If we really want to say there is something different about them, it is that their military uniforms are very luxurious and beautiful, not as simple as the ones they wear.
But the problem is that we are going to fight, so why are we wearing so much luxury?
This is not a beautiful clothing exhibition.
It¡¯s like you can win the war if you dress beautifully.
¡°In the end, it still depends on whether the weapons in their hands are sharp or not, and whether the soldiers¡¯ fighting will is so high.
¡°As long as the soldiers¡¯ fighting spirit is high and their courage continues to burn, then what is impossible with this unfailing city.
As the defenders of Shiliang City, they know the strength of this city and some of its facilities very well.
If there are a large number of enemies, it might be possible to say otherwise, but these enemies are only a few thousand people, so they are really no match if they are not seen.
Anyway, the enemy may be powerful in field battles, but they may not be that powerful in siege battles.
With the guidance of Toyotani Saburo, the confidence of the generals around him gradually recovered a lot, and at the same time, they also thought of many things.
It can be seen from everyone¡¯s faces that they no longer have the same fear and fear as before.
"The city guard is right, these enemies don't look any different. They are not the evil ghosts with green faces and fangs, nor are they monsters burning with hell fire. In fact, they are mortals just like us, made of flesh and blood. . God knows why the Kyushu Allied Forces of Maitreyahara failed. There may be other reasons. Anyway, everyone knows what those daimyo are. Maybe they will use Maitreyahara's It¡¯s not necessarily the case that things spread so horribly just to cover up my own incompetence.¡±
One of the generals beside Toyaya Saburo spoke at this time.
His words resonated and agreed with many people.
Indeed, it is very clear to them what kind of things those famous people are.
It is simply unbelievable that Maitreya's 150,000-strong army was defeated like this.
And the enemy who defeated them had less than 10,000 troops.
??No one with a little bit of thinking ability would believe it all at once.
First of all, everyone thought that this matter was probably a joke.
"Otherwise, there must be some inside story.
In short, everyone is very confused about this matter.
¡°Well, okay?That¡¯s really the case. "Many generals nodded in agreement, agreeing very much with the colleague who just spoke. "Maybe there is really something behind the battle at Mirokuhara, but we don't know it very well. "
At this time, Saburo Toyaya raised his hand and stopped everyone.
"Okay, no matter what the situation was during the Mirokuhara battle. But now that the result is like this, then we don't need to explore anything."
Although Toyotani Saburo was very puzzled and confused about this, he still didn¡¯t believe it.
But he knew that his lord was indeed defeated and returned to the Satsuma Domain. This was an indisputable fact.
"Prepare a lot of rolling rocks and oil pans. The winding mountain road in the inner city will become the enemy's graveyard. Every step they take to advance will have to bear a heavy price. This is our meeting gift to them."
"oh!"
After finishing speaking, Toyotani Saburo turned and left.
The generals who followed him also dispersed and went to their posts.
The winding mountain road in the inner city of Shiliang City is divided into areas. In each area, rolling logs, throwing stones, and large iron pots with boiling oil are placed on the edge of the mountain road.
It can be said that once an enemy passes by the mountain road below, they can easily attack the enemy from above and use these things to cause the enemy heavy losses.
On the contrary, on the narrow mountain road, the enemy has no way to escape. They can only accept such attacks abruptly without being able to resist.
This is very beneficial to the defensive side, but very detrimental to the offensive side.
In the history of this time and space, when the initial good city was besieged by a hundred thousand troops, it was only by relying on this method that it remained standing. In the end, the enemy was exhausted and retreated to win the final victory.
The enemies who attacked Shiliang City at that time left tens of thousands of lives on the winding road of Shiliang City, which was a heavy loss.
There are even white bones outside the city, which can still be seen occasionally even now.
After the generals left Toyaya Saburo, they came to their respective posts. They carefully inspected the defense facilities on their respective defensive passes, and then explained what they were doing to their soldiers.
At the same time, there were constant sightings of men holding weapons on the winding mountain road, but there were no men wearing soldier uniforms, flashing in groups in the buildings.
These are the young men in the city who have been temporarily recruited, and they will also join in the upcoming battle.
Therefore, it seems that there are not many defenders in Shiliang City, but in fact, this is not the case at all.
As the defensive side of the Shiliang City garrison, they actually have a certain advantage.
After all, we are defending the city, which is completely different from a field battle. Therefore, the defenders of Shiliang City on the defensive side will be very different psychologically from those on the attacking side.
Hurry up and pile up all the rocks!
Put this stone over there to free up the archer's position.
Put this wooden roadblock on the mountain road for me. It can block the enemy and delay their offensive, and at the same time, it can be convenient for the brothers on the upper mountain road to throw rocks down.
You, come here and place some iron nails here, yes, this is it.
Shiliang City also started to get busy, the men took up arms, and even the women did what they could.
Zhao Hongyu could clearly see from the telescope that Shiliang City was built next to the building on the mountain, and the women were sharpening some wood to make simple weapons.
Haha, the whole city is mobilized.
Zhao Hongyu put down the telescope in his hand.
"Your Highness, the artillery is ready. Would you like to conduct a test firing now?"
At this time, the three artillery pieces that Zhao Hongyu had brought up earlier were ready.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Let's start! Take your time, don't be anxious, I want to see where the artillery can blast into the city and how much power it can cause, and then I can consider other issues."
"Okay, Your Highness!"
The gunner who came to inquire responded and turned back to his gun position.
Loading leads!
???????????????????
Boom!
One of the three artillery pieces finally fired.
The huge noise immediately aroused the thoughts of everyone in Shiliang City.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked at her with puzzled expressions and a hint of fear.Come.
Peng! Wow!
This is a bomb.
This shell exploded violently within a few dozen meters of Shiliang City.
The fragments of the exploded shells were covered in an umbrella shape. Most of the fragments hit the city wall and did not cause much damage to the defenders on the wall.
Because when the cannonball exploded, it had already fallen too low.
Even so, some stones on the city wall were also shattered a lot, which shocked the defenders on the city wall.
What kind of weapon is this? How can it make such a loud noise? It can actually break such a large piece of the thick city wall.
When the defenders took a look at the city wall covered by shells, their eyes widened in disbelief.
A large area of ??the city wall has become pitted and pitiful.
Fortunately, the city wall is made of large stones piled up on the mountain, so it is very strong.
If it were an ordinary city wall, it might already be crumbling.
????????????????????????? And if that thing falls on a person, just relying on his flesh and blood body, it is impossible to resist it.
At that time, the faces of the defenders on the battlements of the first defensive circle all turned pale. (To be continued.
