Become a feudal king from today - #904 - Chapter 918 White River City
Baihe City.
The battle in the Yaita Valley is about to decide the winner.
The battle here also suddenly became fierce.
After the continuous bombardment of Shirakawa Castle, Oda Yamazawa and Mori Yusheng simultaneously chose to send their soldiers to attack the city carrying ladders.
“Dong Anjun, we want to capture Baihe City personally to prove our loyalty to His Highness King Yan.” Oda Yamazawa looked at the charging soldiers with a firm gaze.
Maori Yusheng nodded, “We know that your army is invincible, but once he arrives, we will no longer be able to reflect our value. This time, we will personally defeat the Watanabe case.”
After saying that, he also looked at the soldiers under his command.
Dong An glanced at Oda Yamazawa and Maori Yusheng with a satisfied expression.
Despite their grandiose words, he knew Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
After recovering southern Japan, the next step must be to carve up the southern territory.
How to divide it up was not up to them, it was up to King Yan to decide.
Therefore, in this war, they must use all their efforts to add some glory to themselves and win the favor of King Yan.
In this way, they can get the maximum benefit.
“I will tell His Highness King Yan about your heroic deeds on the battlefield.” Dong An showed a gentle smile to the two of them.
No matter what the two of them are thinking, it is naturally best to have the strength of Yanzhou’s army left.
When Oda Yamazawa and Maori Yusheng heard this, it was as if they had been given blood.
If you let your horse run back and forth on the battlefield, your soldiers will only attack the city.
Densely packed soldiers from the two vassals poured into Baihe City like a tide.
at the same time.
The defenders in Baihe City were miserable.
In order to block King Yan’s army, Watanabe sent 20,000 cavalry and his most elite infantry.
This weakened White River City’s defense by more than half.
Now, facing the same number of northern coalition forces, they found the fight extremely difficult and their casualties increased sharply.
After all, if they were in the same situation as before and defended the city, they would not be afraid.
Even if the Oda Clan and Mori Clan came with an army of 400,000, they could withstand it.
But right now, the gap between their firearms is too big.
During the battle, they could only be beaten and could not even fight back.
“You must hold on for me, Jiugui and the others will be back soon.” On the city wall, Watanabe ordered the generals defending the city.
As soon as the Union soldiers charged, he climbed onto the wall to encourage the soldiers.
He knew very well that the decisive moment had come.
“Yes, General.” The Japanese general closest to the Watanabe case bowed and turned around to direct the soldiers to carry the stones.
But as soon as he took two steps, a ball of blood suddenly burst out from his head, and then he slowly fell down.
The Watanabe case shocked and angered me. It was the work of skirmishers lying in wait outside the city.
Since these stragglers came to Baihe City, many soldiers guarding the city wall have been shot and killed, causing people to panic.
Perhaps because of his excitement, the general forgot to keep his body low for a moment, and ended up like this.
“Damn it, Oda Yamasawa, Maori will win. When I win this war, I will skin you two and throw the meat away to feed the dogs.” Watanabe said through gritted teeth.
He had never fought such a frustrating battle.
The most important thing is that the two people outside the city are still defeated by his men.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of soldiers charging outside the city got closer and closer.
Then, he heard the sound of the ladder leaning against the city wall.
By this time, the defenders on the city wall could no longer hide under the wall stacks.
The artilleryman raised his torch and lit the fuse.
The musketeers stood up and aimed at the Union soldiers below the city, and some soldiers threw stones and rolled logs below.
But just as they fought back, they were immediately attacked by musketeers outside the city.
“Bang bang bang…” Intensive gunshots rang outside the city.
He saw the exposed Japanese soldiers falling down continuously.
Especially the artillerymen, they seemed to be targeted, and each artilleryman was killed before he could even stuff the shells into the barrel.
Seeing this scene, Watanabe was anxious, angry, and helpless.
We can only continue to let the soldiers below board the city to replenish the lost troops.
But during this gap, coalition soldiers climbed onto the city wall.
They looked at the soldiers on the Watanabe case, shouted, and rushed towards them with front-loaded rifles with bayonets in their hands.
Relying on the bayonet skills taught to them by General Da Song, they fought against the soldiers of the Watanabe Case.
These coalition soldiers who scaled the city wall further hindered the defense on the city wall, preventing the defenders from attacking the soldiers below the city.
The coalition soldiers below continued to climb the city wall from the ladder.
As the first point was breached, the second and third points continued to be breached.
Soon, the city walls were filled with soldiers from both sides fighting each other.
The moment the coalition soldiers climbed onto the city wall, Watanabe was escorted down the city wall by his guards.
Standing in the city, he anxiously watched the battle on the city wall.
From beginning to end, he never thought that the city he personally guarded would be breached by the Oda family and the Mori family.
This made him feel humiliated and terrified at the same time.
He finally realized that their firearms were very different from King Yan’s.
The Oda Domain and the Mori Domain were no longer as vulnerable as before.
On the contrary, he received the muskets and artillery from the King of Yan, and was trained by the generals of the King of Yan.
Even if the two vassals were not as good as King Yan’s army, they were still much stronger than the army under his command.
Thinking like this, he became more and more confused.
But he could do nothing but watch the battlefield.
An hour passed, and another hour passed.
In the evening, the situation on the battlefield finally became clear.
The coalition soldiers completely occupied the city wall and captured the city gate.
A large number of coalition soldiers came down from high and shot and killed the southern soldiers in the city.
“General, retreat! We lost.” Ogawa Tora was covered in blood, his helmet fell off, and his hair was as messy as weeds.
He clutched his left shoulder, which was still bleeding.
A Union soldier bayoneted here not long ago.
“How is it possible, how is it possible…” Watanabe stood on the avenue in the middle of Baihe City, his eyes were dull and he kept mumbling to himself.
All his pride was destroyed in this war.
At this moment, he realized that all his confidence was just stupid arrogance.
He couldn’t even defeat the Oda Clan and the Mori Clan, so how could he fight against the King of Yan?
“General!” Ogawa Tora became more and more anxious when he saw that the Watanabe case was indifferent.
More coalition soldiers had already rushed in from the city gate, and it would be too late if they didn’t leave.
Seeing that the Watanabe case was still stunned, he threw the Watanabe case directly on the horse and rode towards the south gate.
As he fled, the soldiers in the city collapsed.
A large number of soldiers rushed to the south gate, trying to escape, blocking the place.
“The general is here, get out of the way! Get out of the way!” When he came to the south gate and saw this situation, Ogawa Tora raised his whip and whipped the soldiers while shouting.
At this moment, the soldiers who had been blocking the city gate dispersed one after another, seemingly making way for Ogawa Tiger.
Seeing this, he galloped towards the door.
But in an instant, he was stunned.
Less than five hundred meters away from them, an army was coming towards them.
This army is wearing dark green military uniforms.
It was King Yan’s army that arrived!
