Ancient Ming Land Love? You Youzi didn't remember this guy. She only remembered that she came to Shangchuan to find Gu Ming Dijue. Comprehending Heart Ghost was a rare treasure among ghosts. It rarely appeared, and when it did, it was hated by humans and demons. With a casual glance, a person's wild thoughts could be seen. Whether it was the high-ranking officials or the commoners in short clothes, they all kept a respectful distance from the ghost. The resentment and unbearable feelings buried deep in their hearts were seen clearly in an instant. Who was willing?
"I've been looking at Big Sister for the past few days!”Gu Ming Di Lian's beautiful face was smiling." Big Sister has been busy all the time. You're busy when Lian Lian is awake, and you're still busy when Lian Lian is about to sleep. Lian Lian wanted Big Sister to rest, so she blew out Big Sister's lamp. Unexpectedly, Big Sister discovered me.”
You Youzi tried to drag the unconscious warrior to the bed. However, the warrior was so heavy that he forced Youyou to attach the dead butterfly that was used to increase her strength to her arm before dragging her.
You Youzi said politely to Gu Mingdi,""You've lived longer than me. I can't afford to call me sister. Call me Youyou!"
"You can see Lian Lian!" Gu Mingdi's smile was a little strange." Big Sister has actually lived for more than ten million years! Moreover, there were six other big sisters in this military camp!”
You Youzi broke out in cold sweat. Indeed, she had experienced the lives of six people in this military camp. This point was clearly seen by this enlightened demon.
"Big Sister is an extraordinary existence.”Gu Mingdi's expression started to change." But it's so good. There are so many people surrounding Big Sister. I'm really envious that you're loved by others. I only love my sister, only my sister loves me…"
You You Zi said,"I will also love to be in love." Actually, as long as you love others, others will love you.”
Love was very happy to hear that. If I kill others, will others come to kill me?”
You Youzi felt that this Understanding Heart Ghost in front of her had some violent tendencies. In short, she was trying to make Gu Mingdi Love leave.
"Big Sister, are you going to bring people to kill people?”Gu Mingdi asked again.
You Youzi tried to change her words,"I am here under the orders of the Emperor to crusade against this rebellious city. It is inevitable that I will hurt people."”
Gu Mingdi's smile was filled with cruelty.""As expected, he's going to kill someone! Lian Lian really likes Big Sister! Lian Lian loved watching humans kill people.”
To be honest, such blatantly terrifying words made You You uncomfortable. The Wuxin Ghost with a pure face seemed to have a soft spot for blood.
After that, Gu Ming began to sing, the lyrics were very strange.
"Please don't hide ~ Please don't hide ~ Lian Lian is coming to find you ~ Lian Lian's Heartbeat Adventure has begun! Are you in Shangchuan City? Hehehe ~ You're here ~ You're there ~ You're also in love with this place! The sky was red and fragmented, the river was black and fragmented, and the ground was soft, hard, sticky, and dry. Let's shake hands, how are you? Waving goodbye! Love has found you ~ you are in the red sky ~ you are in the dark river ~ you are on the sticky earth ~ you are also between big sister's heart and navel!”
After Gu Mingdi finished singing this song, it gradually disappeared. You Youzi forgot everything in an instant. There seemed to be something just now, but why couldn't she remember? What exactly happened? Why couldn't he remember clearly? You Youzi sat down to maintain a relaxed state and then continued to work.
You Youzi set a time for the general attack. After Shangchuan Wen gave up the 1,000 sets of military equipment, You Youzi was sure that if Shangchuan Wen did such a thing to keep You Youzi, the grain route and the stronghold would not be attacked.
Thus, they had to go all out this time. All 7,000 of them attacked the city at the same time, leaving no way out. The time was set at noon the next day. You You had a plan in her mind.
At noon the next day, all the soldiers gathered, totaling 7,500 people. Youyou's order made almost everyone feel fear." They gave up on all grain routes and camps and attacked the city with all their might. Once the granary and camp were burned, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, You Youzi made an even bolder move. Before she went out to battle, she ordered people to burn down her own camp. Everyone knew that if they failed, they would not even have a stronghold to defend. As long as Shangchuan City sent troops to pursue, it was possible that Zu Qing and the archers would be wiped out. However, You Youzi had made a pre-battle mobilization before the battle. They either took down Shangchuan City or everyone died without a burial place.
Spring in Shangchuan was very dry, so the camp was set ablaze. Shangchuan City, which was not far away, could clearly see the flames and thick smoke rising into the sky.
"Are they really going to risk their lives?" Kamikawa was a little surprised.”
This time, they spared no effort in attacking the city. You Youzi sent out all the scaling ladders. Two catapults were set up outside the shooting range of the arrows on the city wall. The siege chariots had already rushed up.
The first echelon had a total of 1,500 people. You Youzi had given them the order to occupy a piece of land on the city wall for the follow-up troops to enter the city. The second echelon consisted of 2,000 people. 1,000 of them were to prevent the enemies from climbing up the city wall again, while the other 1,000 were to attack the fortress on the city wall. The third echelon consisted of 3,000 people. The goal of these 3,000 people was to occupy the key areas of Shangchuan City and engage in street battles with the Shangchuan soldiers. There were only a thousand people in the reserve team.
The city walls were also prepared. The Shangchuan soldiers fired arrows with fire in an attempt to burn the scaling ladders. There was a hidden hole right above the city gate, and huge stones were constantly being thrown at the charging carriage from the hidden hole.
The battlefield was filled with shouts and screams. You Youzi's eighth ladder was the first to reach the city wall. The soldiers on the ladder took out the crossbows that they had prepared and fired. Youyou did not use a crossbow in the battle to test the siege. This time, no matter how lethal it was, it at least achieved the effect she wanted: It caused panic.
In fact, the lethality of the crossbow was indeed not good. It could penetrate the inferior leather armor and hurt the people inside, but the degree of penetration was not enough to hurt the internal organs and cause fatal injuries.
On the narrow city wall, the two armies were only four to five meters apart. The first echelon attacked the city according to the training pattern. The outermost group was a circle of vigilant Zu Qing, and the inner group was a group of crossbowmen who released arrows. The city wall was quickly suppressed. The ten scaling ladders worked quickly, and many soldiers quickly climbed up the city.
However, armored warriors rushed out from the hidden fortress on the city wall. The repeating crossbows could penetrate the leather armor of the garrison soldiers at close range, but it was impossible for the armor of the warriors. A small army made up of fifteen warriors led hundreds of soldiers to launch a counterattack against the army. You Youzi's army was caught off guard, and a checkpoint was quickly snatched back.
Outside the city, the soldiers built a temporary high platform. You Youzi and Tai sat on it and used flag signals to command the movements of the army.
"Just as I expected." You Youzi said," The repeating crossbows had a great deterrent effect on the soldiers stationed in the fields. We immediately gained a firm foothold on the city wall. The fifteen warriors were part of the reserve team, and they would help wherever they were broken through. Last time when we attacked the city, as long as the soldiers took down the city entrance, they would face a strong counterattack. The ladder to the city required a huge price, so it was difficult to reach the city from multiple locations at the same time. This made the team extremely useful, allowing them to come back and forth in multiple crises.”
At the same time, Youyou ordered her team of 40 warriors to enter the city. She didn't expect her soldiers to defeat the samurai, as the ones who could defeat the samurai had to be the samurai.
"Uekawa's tactic is a very good one under the original conditions. Use the soldiers to block the trouble as much as possible, and then send the samurai group to solve the trouble everywhere. However, the disadvantage of this tactic is that we can attack the city from multiple locations at the same time. If we use the crossbow to deter the garrison soldiers, we can achieve this seemingly impossible thing.”
"If that's the case, why didn't Lord Youyou use this weapon earlier?" Tai Ye asked.”
You Youzi said in a low voice," The battle that cost 400 men was partly to lure Shangchuan Wen into battle, and partly to test his defense tactics. It had to be said that without the crossbow, this city defense strategy would be really difficult to deal with. Now that I know the background of the other party, the situation will be easier for me to control.”
After the 40-man samurai group entered the city, they charged straight at the 15-man samurai team. After a fierce battle at noon, the city wall was taken down by You Youzi. She counted the casualties. Both sides had lost about a thousand people. The biggest enemy of Youyou's army was the hidden fortresses on the city walls, and crossbows were useless against them. However, as for the samurai, Shang Chuanwen had lost 30 men, and You Youzi had lost five. The most important thing was that You Youzi had taken down the city wall, which basically decided everything.
"Lord Youyou only used 3,500 white men and crossbows to take down the city wall. If they had launched such an attack earlier, the war would have ended long ago.”
You Youzi said frankly," When I used it to test the leather armor with a crossbow in the palace, I thought it wouldn't be of much use. It would only be useful for defense from high places. He didn't expect the leather armor in the palace to be of high quality. The military leather armor of the soldiers stationed in Shangchuan was of poor quality, which was why it had such an effect.”
However, You Youzi knew the risks of using 4,000 or 7,000 people to attack the city. The most difficult part was not to occupy the city wall, but to fight in the streets. The people in Shangchuan City were very supportive of Shangchuan Wen. Once he was organized to resist, it would be very difficult to deal with.
You Youzi predicted that Shangchuan Wen would attempt to recapture the city wall in the afternoon. There were battlements on the outside of the city wall, and there was only one wall on the inside. There were also many stairs and towers to go up and down, so it was quite difficult to defend the city wall. However, Shangchuan Wen did not attack. Instead, he focused on defending the streets.
What followed was a long street battle. The 3,000 men sent by Youyou were all engaged in the battle, but it was still a difficult battle. Every step they took cost blood. The rebels in Shangchuan represented the interests of the commoners, so many commoners became enemies with Youyou Zi's army. This was no different from slaughtering a city.
The street battle lasted for a day and a night, from the sun shining high in the sky to the sunset in the west. Youyou Zi had lost thousands of her men. It was only then that she realized that the street fighting that she had thought was just a little difficult was actually very difficult.
At night, You Youzi recalled the troops that were originally fighting in the streets and sent a reserve team to harass them. However, when the Shangchuan army gathered, You Youzi's 1,000 men also gathered. After a short battle, Shangchuan Wen's army was defeated and fled deeper into the forest.
However, Youyou Zi's reserve general made a foolish decision. He thought that Shangchuan had already broken through the city and this resistance would be easily broken down, so he led his men to chase after them. However, they were ambushed on the way. When the 1,000-man army returned to Youyou's control, only 300 people were left.
After this failure, You Youzi reevaluated the military strength of both sides. You You Zi still had a team of nearly 5,000 people, while Shang Chuanwen had about 2,000. If they hadn't been ambushed at night, You Youzi's military losses would have been lower than Shangchuan's.
There were still two military camps in Shangchuan City. You Youzi's army couldn't occupy the entire city in a short time. Shangchuan Wen had already moved his family to the military camp and was overseeing it himself.
"Father, why don't you put all your troops into the battle to defend the city wall?!" Now that the city wall had fallen, how could Shangchuan City be defended?”
Shangchuan Wen was playing with something in his hand that looked like a crossbow. Xiuying Uekawa shouted, and Uekawa ordered him to be grabbed and pressed onto a stool.
Calm down, Xiuying." Uegawa revealed a relaxed smile. This smile did not look like a general who was at an absolute disadvantage, but like a commander who had victory in his hands.
"How am I supposed to calm down!" Xiuying shouted," What you're doing will kill our family!”
"Do you know what this is?" Shangchuan Wen showed the thing in his hand." This is called the Yuanrong Repeating Crossbow. It's a new weapon that appeared on the city wall today. In the past, this weapon was recorded in the documents of the Tang envoys, but he did not expect it to appear in batches here. The government used this to intimidate the city walls. The soldiers stationed in the fields are all very afraid. We have no way to organize a counterattack. It was impossible to defeat this enemy with just momentum and bravery.”
Uegawa fired his crossbow, and in just ten seconds, fifteen bolts were shot out, nailing the wooden wall.
Xiuying Uekawa was stunned. He seemed to see dozens of crossbowmen shooting arrows at Uekawa's soldiers. In the panic and chaos, an iron arrow shot into his skull and nailed him to the city wall.
"However, the power of this weapon is limited. It can only scare people. Look at those planks." Uekawa Bunbun threw away the crossbow and signaled for Uekawa Xiuying to check the arrows. The arrow pierced into the wooden plank, but it only managed to pierce a little.
"The power of this crossbow is like a child's bow, but it's enough to scare people. The soldiers stationed on our city were scattered because of this.”Shangchuan Wen said in an orderly manner," So don't be anxious. Let us think of a countermeasure. Even if we go all out to defend the city wall today, the will of our soldiers will still be defeated by this weapon.”
