As he expected, the Oda army had already reached the main city on the second day. The countless outposts along the way had failed to stop the enemy. They were either instantly broken or surrendered.
"Damn it! Damn it! A bunch of bastards!"
Although he was angry, he knew that it was meaningless.
'That's right! As long as they killed that kid, they would be leaderless! " Then, we'll attack the Ashikaga clan from the front and back…" Hara Shashi, who had gone completely mad, had completely forgotten the combat power ratio between the two sides. The enemy had more soldiers than him, but it was still within an acceptable range. In theory, there should be no problem defending the city, but to use these soldiers to kill the enemy's main commander? He was still indulging in wishful thinking.
……
The final outcome was not unexpected. He led all his subordinates to climb up the city wall and defend the city. At first, it was fine, but people kept coming out from below to persuade them to surrender. At first, they were just ordinary warriors, but later on, the Yuan family's generals kept appearing, and the west city was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Who would have thought that the old man of the Yuan Family would defect to the enemy? However, when they heard the list of crimes against A Shuji and Yuan Changshi, many of the soldiers felt that this was understandable.
Yuan Changshi, who was standing on the city wall, was even redder. If he had felt pity for the other party before, he was furious now! We've worked together for so many years. Why would you defect to the enemy just like that? And now, you're helping them beat me up? This…This was simply…
Not to mention Yuan Changshi, who was performing a face-changing performance on the city wall, Lan Se, who was standing behind him, had a strange expression on her face.
What did Ah Shuji do? No one was swayed even when their own son came out. However, everyone's expressions changed after Xi Cheng's words.
After the verbal attacks ended, they naturally started fighting. However, the results of the verbal attacks had a certain effect. For example, the morale of the Oda family's 'Teacher of Justice' BUFF increased, while the morale of the Yuan family naturally decreased because their family head was speechless.
The Yuan family soldiers who were fighting back angrily also kept throwing defensive equipment from the city wall. Lan Se also ordered the team to charge forward in a step by step manner. This way, they could reduce their consumption, but the opponent had to maintain a high-intensity defensive posture. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would be rushed up the city wall in the face of the sudden increase in attack.
After that, Yuan Changshi relied on his original strength to shoot continuously from the city wall. At first, a few warriors died because of his sneak attacks. However, Lan Se, who reacted, also taught him what it meant to be the younger generation pushing the older generation. After the arrow pierced through his opponent's shoulder armor, he simply became a coward.
When it was time for dinner, Lan Se announced that she would stop attacking and start a bonfire to prepare food.
Although they saw the Oda family outside the city preparing dinner, they couldn't leave at will. After all, who knew if this was a delaying tactic? Or was it simply a cover-up? The soldiers on the city wall could only watch the people outside the city eat and drink with hungry stomachs.
At this moment, the leader in charge of guarding the city walked over with sweat all over his face.
"My lord! Rolling wood…there were not many rolling wood left!”
"Where are the arrows and stones?"
"There isn't much left. I can only last for a day at most…"
"…Alright, I understand. Continue to guard!"
"Yes, sir!"
The leader was sweating profusely as he lowered his head and did not dare to look at his family head. Fortunately, he did not look at his family head. However, he was afraid that he would be frightened by the other party's distorted face.
……
As he walked to the house that he rarely came to, he felt a lot of emotions. However, at this time, he only shook his head. No matter what others said, he would not regret it. After all, this was his own choice.
"Thump ~ Thump!"
"Who is it?" The voice that came from inside the room was his own. He took a deep breath and replied,"It's me."
"Changshi? Why are you here? How are the guards on the city walls?"
He could only shake his head helplessly.
"Pa!"
However, what he did not expect was that the woman he had been dreaming of actually slapped him.
Yuan Changshi looked at him in disbelief, while Ah Shuji took a deep breath and said seriously,""I don't care what others think! As my husband, how can you admit defeat so easily! Hold on! As long as my brother has the upper hand, the Oda family will definitely return to defend! Moreover, his brother had also mentioned that Yamamoto 56 had obtained a certain advantage in the battle for the Viper Oil Field.”
Even though she was known as the seductive witch of the family head, how could she control Yuan Changshi without real ability? Although her heart was filled with disgust and she even suspected that she was blind to have fallen for this good-for-nothing, she had to cheer him on now.
"Really? Did Lord Ashikaga gain an advantage?!”Yuan Changshi also did not expect that there would be a silver lining. He, who had been in despair, seemed to see hope again!
"That's right! And…I love you ~ Fight back the rude invaders of the Oda family for me?”
"Yes! I love you too! Ah Shu!"
"Yes! Well, we can…"
"No!"
"Why?"
"Cough cough, although I want to give it to you, it's coming today. Bear with it for now! I'll give it to you tomorrow." Although she really wanted to slap him in the face, she had no choice but to find an excuse to avoid it.
"Is that so? There was no other way. Don't worry! Ah Shu! For you, I will definitely protect you!"
She sighed helplessly as she watched the man leave. Was it really a problem with her taste?
Just as everyone was preparing dinner, Lan Se received a new mission.
side mission
[Mission Target: Yuan Family]
[Mission Requirement: Take down Heavensguard Tower within 2 hours]
[Completion reward: Ashu Ji X1 (Please hurry, because the host's actions may affect the enemy's judgment), activate any weapon strengthening option (can upgrade a low-level weapon to a high-level weapon)]
If the Viper Oil Field raid had only increased the number of basic weapons he could choose from, then this was the real strengthening. After all, the difference between the lower and upper levels was still very big. As for the influence on his judgment, he could guess a little.
It turned out that in the plot, he was forced to the end by Lance's attack and chose to commit suicide in order to uphold his " dignity as a samurai ". However, when he was about to commit suicide, he also planned to bring his most " beloved " Ah Shuji to the netherworld. However, Ah Shuji obviously refused. In the end, he was so angry that he wanted to kill her directly. However, he was stopped by Lance in the end.
"In other words, if I push him to his limit, he will choose the same method? Then, they couldn't continue to attack. At least, they had to make sure that they could stop Yuan Changshi when they broke through the city! They had to stop him before they broke through the city. Otherwise, who knew if he would kill Ah Shuji when he realized that there was no hope? " Although her personality is really speechless and she has the ability to reduce the strength of the country, I can use her to try new ways of playing. I can't do anything to Cat Princess 'game…" He rubbed his chin as he looked at the city wall and thought of a way.
If there were powerful ninjas around, he might be able to try stealing the city and let them enter and quietly open the door. However, this was only a fantasy. After all, Bell Girl had never appeared, so there was no way.
Stealing a city? That's right! Lan Se also hurriedly checked the number of people she could summon. As expected, because she was at the front line, she did not summon them in order to not let anyone find out anything strange. In other words, she still had 90 Light Foot Warriors, 60 Warriors, 36 Archers, and 10 Witches that she could summon.
" Although I can't recall the ones I've summoned, nearly 200 people are enough for a surprise attack. As long as I can sneak in, it shouldn't be a problem for me to take the door. That's right! That's it!
Time did not wait for him. He hurriedly called the jade stick Fenghua over.
Right now, the only person he could trust was the cold-looking Jade Slips Fenghua. As for his subordinates, although they were loyal, they were not very flexible. In order to prevent any accidents, it was better to double the insurance.
"Fenghua!"
"Sir? Is there anything?" Fenghua, who was holding the rice ball in her hand as she had at noon, handed it to Lan Se first and then looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I'm preparing to attack the city later."
"Yes." Fenghua was not surprised by Lan Se's decision. After all, there was not much difference between attacking the city early or late. Moreover, looking at the moving heads on the city wall, she was afraid that Lan Se had not eaten yet. When the time came, it would be a good idea to bully those hungry people after eating and drinking to their hearts 'content.
"I'll sneak in later and attack the city gate with some of the warriors who defected previously. Then, you can directly bring people to attack! However, be careful of that old man from West City. No matter how I feel, there's something wrong with him. If he has any strange reactions, don't hold back and kill him directly!”Lan Se's eyes were filled with ferocity as she spoke. She would not show mercy to this kind of person. Although there was a reason for this, she could betray him once and again. Even if he did not do anything strange in the end, Lan Se would not give him any important official position. At most, he would be given a sinecure position to retire.
"What?! My lord! Do you want to go personally? This was definitely not possible! Even if they wanted to go, they could have sent someone over. If it really doesn't work out, I can go too! Xiangji has already asked me to protect you, so I won't let you be in danger!”If it wasn't for the fact that Lan Se still had something to say, she would have interrupted her when she heard that she wanted to go in personally. After all, this method was too ridiculous! Which commander would go to the enemy's position alone? This simply didn't conform to common sense!
Lan Se was also stunned for a moment. She did not expect Xiangji to ask her to pay more attention to her. However, this made her very happy. After all, who wouldn't want their goddess to care about them? However, he still rejected Fenghua's request. After all, it would not matter if he really wanted to instigate a rebellion. However, how was he going to explain the summoning?
"No, I can't! They only know me! You just joined the Oda family a few days ago, so they don't know you at all! That's why I have to go for this mission!" However, Lan Se quickly came up with a good excuse. Fenghua hesitated when she saw Lan Se's determined expression.
"But why is Milord in such a hurry? We only need to surround Heavensguard Pavilion now, so it will naturally collapse in less than half a month!”
"No, I can't! The Ashikaga family has been trying to take back the Viper oil field, and the neighbors don't seem to want to see the Oda family grow stronger. Therefore, we have to take this place as soon as possible to eliminate the worries in the future, so that we won't be attacked from both sides.”
This speculation was not nonsense. After all, Nobunaga did not need to say much. The person who assassinated the Sheng family was naturally a ninja from the Iga family. As for the person hired, it was most likely the Ashikaga or Tokugawa family, right? Moreover, the Takeda family had always been at war with the Uesugi family, but their intention to expand had never disappeared. If the Oda family gave them a chance, they would definitely not give up this good opportunity.
"Alright…please be careful.”
She could not think of a good reason to stop Lan Se, so she had no choice but to compromise.
