Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nozu Castle, south of Iwami, is the only way for Soga to retreat to Asuka. It was originally stationed with nearly 10,000 defenders, guarded by Maro Ishikawa. It is also a supply transfer station for the frontline army, and the food and grass in the rear are  They have to be transported to Jiangshuang City through this city. However, it is a pity that Nozu City was successfully attacked by Hu Li and Xue Rengui three days ago. Maro Ishikawa was killed in battle, 10,000 defenders were destroyed, and all the food and grass in the city were destroyed.  It was obtained by the Tang army.

    On the top of Nojin City facing the direction of Jiangshuang City, Hu Li and Xue Rengui held up binoculars to observe the situation ahead. Although it looked very calm, they received news from the scouts this morning.  The 80,000-strong army is not far from Nozu Castle and will arrive this afternoon at the latest.

    After observing for a while, Xue Rengui took the lead in putting down the telescope and said: "General Tiger, General Su has sent a military order, ordering us to hold on to this city, be sure to block their way north, and wait for the army from behind to arrive. Under the attack from both front and rear, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop.  It¡¯s really troublesome to defeat the biggest resistance force of Japan, but it¡¯s several times stronger than me, and Nozu City is not a fortified city!¡±

    After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Hu Li also put down the telescope in his hand, and then showed a relaxed smile and said: "General Xue, don't worry, Jiangshuang City was wiped out by General Su in one fell swoop, which already made Su and I lose all courage to join the Lu army. Now we only rely on  Supported by a spirit of escape, when they arrived at Nozu Castle, I led the troops to attack and knocked down the opponent's momentum first. Even if the opponent had a hundred times the army, it would still be difficult to conquer this small Nozu Castle.  .¡±

    Seeing Hu Li being so calm, Xue Rengui, who was leading troops for the first time, also breathed a sigh of relief.  Since Iwami's landing, he has not experienced much resistance.  Even in Yejin City, when the Japanese in the city saw the Kunlun slave army behind Hu Li, they immediately shouted that the evil spirits from hell are coming, and then dispersed without any major fighting at all.  Although this may seem like a good thing to others, for Xue Rengui, it did not allow him to accumulate experience in leading troops, especially this time when he had to face 80,000 enemy troops.  If you say you're not nervous, you'd be lying.

    Hu Li is a veteran of Shacheng, so he naturally understands Xue Rengui's psychology. The two of them were still comparing themselves before, but after getting along for this period of time, they have a feeling of sympathy for each other. Xue Rengui admires Hu Li's bravery and strategy.  It looks rough and arrogant, but in fact it is rough but refined, and the marching formation is extremely sophisticated.  Hu Li admired Xue Rengui's vigor, as if he saw himself in the other person, so as a senior, he naturally helped if he could.

    Seeing the tension in Xue Rengui's heart.  Hu Li smiled and pointed at the thousand soldiers standing at the top of the city, whose uniforms were completely different from the other soldiers, and said: "General Xue, look at this musketeer team of more than a thousand people. They don't know what they are doing with a steel pipe in their hands."  They are used, and the best is used for everything. His Highness also values ??them very much, but he just doesn¡¯t know what their combat effectiveness is?"

    After hearing this, Xue Rengui also turned his head and looked at the musketeers standing next to him.  I saw the other party carrying the weapon called a musket on their shoulders and looking straight ahead. Without an officer's order, they would not even move. They looked like wooden men.  Putting aside everything else, this discipline alone makes Xue Rengui, who is also a general, jealous.

    "General Tiger, don't underestimate this artillery team. Didn't the battle report from General Su say that the reason why Jiangshuang City was able to be captured so quickly was due to the artillery team in the firearms battalion. Although I don't understand the role of artillery either.  Powerful, but the musketry team and the artillery team are both members of the firearms battalion, so their combat effectiveness must not be much different." Xue Rengui said with a serious look.

    Hu Li also nodded after hearing this. The battle report from Su Dingfang was very brief, but it solemnly mentioned the great contribution of the artillery team. From this, it can be seen that those weapons called artillery must have made a lot of contributions, but he didn't know what he was doing.  How powerful are these muskets made of steel pipes?

    The musketry team in front of Hu Li and Xue Rengui was the one trained by Liu Rengui. They were originally combined with the artillery team to form a firearms battalion, but this time the war was divided into two. The artillery team followed Su Dingfang, using powerful firepower  Jiangshuang City was captured, and the Musketeers were sent to Hu Li and Xue Rengui to help them guard Yejin City.

    Huli and the others waited on the city wall all morning, and the scouts they sent out came back one after another to report the location of Sugaru's army. It was not until noon that Sugaru's army finally arrived not far from Nozu City.  It's just that Souga Niruka was an extremely cautious person. When he was still dozens of miles away from Nozu Castle, he stopped the army, buried pots to make rice, and waited until the army was full and rested for an hour before setting off again.  The army rushed to the gate of Nozu City.

    Hu Li and others on Nojin City had already made preparations. Crossbows brought from behind were placed at the top of the city. The trebuchets left by the Japanese were also used, but the most important thing was Xue Rengui's  The archers stand on the top of the city with their bows and arrows ready.Once the opponent enters the shooting range, he will immediately hit the enemy head-on.

    Su Wo Rulu rode a Hequ horse bought at a high price from the Tang Dynasty. The tall horse's body made him look a foot taller than the other generals, making him stand out from the crowd.  It's just that Su Wo Rulu frowned now, looked at the elite Tang army on the top of the city, and finally waved his hand. Two teams of ten thousand people immediately separated from behind, carrying ladders, pushing ramming trucks and other siege weapons, and began  Quickly press towards Nozu Castle.

    These siege weapons were made by cutting wood on the road, which took a lot of time, so they didn't arrive until today, but it was worth it. Nozu Castle is not a strong city, and the city walls and gates are not very strong, and the city walls are not very strong.  It's not too high either. With the ladder and the ramming truck, it's enough for them to conquer the city.

    Seeing Su Wo Rulu's army attacking the city as soon as it came up, Xue Rengui on the top of the city immediately made preparations, but Hu Li went down to the top of the city, and then led the 4,000 Kunlun slave troops and the 2,000 Kunlun slaves who guarded the musketeers.  The camp went out of the city together and took the initiative according to the previous plan, preparing to destroy the morale of the Japanese first.

    As soon as these 6,000 Kunlun slaves left the city, they immediately rushed toward the Japanese with strange screams. Moreover, these Kunlun slaves were painted messily on their bodies and faces, making them look extremely terrifying. This was mainly because Huli discovered that the Kunlun slaves were ugly.  The Japanese were very frightened by their appearance, and the Kunlun slaves had the custom of making pictures before fighting, so they simply let these Kunlun slaves have free rein to dress themselves up even more hideously to intimidate the enemy.

    Sure enough, as soon as these colorful paintings of Kunlun slaves left the city, they immediately caused a commotion among the Japanese. Some people even started shouting about the evil spirits of hell. However, Su Wo Rulu had received the news before and knew that the Tang army had a Kunlun slave army.  The army had already informed the whole army about the origin of the Kunlun slaves in advance, so most of the Japanese soldiers were mentally prepared. Only a small number of weak-minded people were frightened and shouted in alarm. As a result, they attracted the officers and were chopped down on the spot.  kill.

    With the officers maintaining order with force and being vaccinated in advance, the riot was quickly stopped, and they regained their composure and began to charge.  However, Hu Li chose an excellent time to attack. Before they met the Japanese, the Japanese had already entered the shooting range of the weapons on the city head.  The huge boulder flew out from the top of the city and landed in the Japanese camp. As a result, it was covered with balls of flesh and blood, and the neat formation of the Japanese was disrupted again.

    Boom~

    The two torrent-like teams finally collided together. The Japanese were originally short in stature, with few people over 1.5 meters tall, while the Kunlun slaves were all tall, especially the two thousand Po camp who were the arrows.  They are extremely tall and strong, and some generals are almost as powerful as tigers. These Kunlun slaves rushed into the Japanese team, just like the giants and dwarves in Western legends fighting, but the Japanese are not as strong as the dwarves.  The strong body was thrown into chaos by the strong Kunlun slave in the blink of an eye.

    The Kunlun slaves were all covered in heavy plate armor, and the horizontal swords in their hands were also heavier and longer. With one strike, several Japanese people would be cut into two pieces. It was useless to even block the weapons, because the weapons used by these Japanese people were really inferior.  Extremely, most of the spears were made of wooden poles, which could not stop the Kunlun slaves from slashing.

    The discipline of the Kunlun slaves was poor, and the formation could not be kept intact like the ordinary Tang army. Especially during the attack, they would chop and kill indiscriminately. However, they could still maintain an arrow shape and not be rushed away by the Japanese. And this  An arrow quickly cut through the team of 20,000 Japanese, leaving behind a road paved with flesh and blood.

    Hu Li at the front roared, turned around and charged into the Japanese team again, followed closely by the Kunlun slaves behind him. They didn't know anything else. They only knew that on the battlefield, as long as the general in front killed them, they would  Follow wherever you go.

    When Huli waved the iron rod made of fine steel in his hand, all the Japanese in a radius of ten feet were under his attack. How had these short Japanese seen such a brave person?  Under the second impact of the tiger's force, the entire army was suddenly broken into three parts. Even the two Japanese generals who led the team were smashed into pulp by the tiger's force. This further aggravated the fear of the Japanese and they ran around crying.  , 20,000 Japanese were defeated by 6,000 Kunlun slaves.

    Su Wo Rulu, who was behind, saw this situation, and his face was livid. While sending people to gather the defeated army, he once again ordered two teams of ten thousand people to come forward to cover up the killing. Be sure to keep this Kunlun slave outside the city.

    Although the tiger power is still very powerful, he understands that the Kunlun slave behind him has lost his energy. It is good to break through 20,000. If he continues to fight with the Japanese outside the city, he may not be able to return.  Therefore, he and the Kunlun slaves retreated while fighting, and soon retreated under the city wall of Yejin City. At this time, the 20,000 people sent by Suga Rulu had already chased them.
