Chapter 515: Turtle in the urn

Just as Cheng Xindong met with his relatives from the Jubu to discuss resisting the Luo family's invasion, the Luo family's army had already arrived at the Shenwei City of the Otsuyama family.

More than 2,300 Luo family troops were in a formation below the city. The formation seemed to be countless eagle-shaped flag fingers, scattered around the Shenwei City.

In addition to the Luo family's people, some local wealthy families belonging to the Otsuyama family and the flag fingers of the small land head appeared in the Luo family's camp at the same time.

This caused the morale of the Otsuyama family defenders to be on the top of the city of Shenwei City to drop sharply. Seeing that the opponent's military power was several times higher than that of his own, the Otsuyama family was in a state of comprehension.

Under the gaze of the guards of Otsuyama, the Luo family's team of nearly 200 people quickly approached the edge of the Shenwei City and began to line up again.

This team's military force is temporarily selected from various teams. Their mission is naturally to use bows and arrows to launch an attack on the first slope of Shenwei City. The Luo family's bows and arrows are like long spears and iron cannon feet, and they are specially set up. Their main training subject is archery. Every day, they have to use bamboo arrows to shoot at least 300 times on the target made of thatch in the training ground, and the hit rate must not be less than 50%. Otherwise, they will be punished by training alone. Those who fail to meet the standards for three consecutive months will be sent back to the peasant soldiers with almost no treatment. Therefore, the archery skills of these Luo family's bows and arrows are not bad at all.

At this time, the Luo family's bow and arrow meter array was seventy or eighty meters away from the Shenwei Castle. According to the range of ordinary earth-bamboo bows, Maruki bows and other bows, the Otsuyama family archers on the city could not shoot into the Luo family's bow and arrow meter array. Unless they had more powerful and precious bows and arrows such as heavy vine bows and even bow-shaped bows in their hands.

When the square array of bows and arrows was again set at the shooting position, Yuanchongji Nobuyuki, who was the temporary commander of the general, shouted loudly: "Hold the bow and arrow in your hand. Don't miss it. You aim for me, everyone aimed."

"Prepare, let it go!"

With the order of Nobuyin from Yuanchengji Temple, more than 200 subtle and dull string sounds, more than 200 bows and arrows cut through the air and made a low whistle, and the sharp and sharp arrows pounced on the head of the panic-wrenching guard of the Shenwei Castle on the top of the city.

"Puff..."

As a "puff" sound of hard objects being shot, "puff, puff..." another dull sound like a sack bag falling to the ground came.

It turned out that these arrows of bows and arrows instantly cost the lives of more than a dozen guards. The sound just now was the sound of these guards falling to the ground.

The Luo family's regular equipment was equipped with the most advanced bow-tired bow in the Warring States Period. Its range was more than 200 meters, and the Luo family's bow-tired archery team was seventy or eighty meters away from the Shenwei. This was exactly within the difficult range of the bow-tired bow. At such a close distance, the arrows shot from the bow-tired bow were even more powerful and their penetration was even more powerful. The whistling arrows penetrated the fragile bodies of the defenders in the Shenwei City, and the remaining kinetic energy prompted them to continue moving forward without stopping until they were blocked by the hard blue bricks.

In an instant, more than a dozen guards were shot by the Luo family, which immediately made the other guards in the city who had been lucky enough to escape the disaster stare at each other. They all opened their mouths very loudly, and they didn't seem to have expected that the bowstrings of the Luo family would be so powerful that they could shoot them even seventy or eighty meters away. Originally, they saw that the Luo family was deploying a formation seventy or eighty meters away. With the city walls not afraid of bows and arrows shooting, they were quite brave. They all stood on the top of the city to point out the country, but they didn't expect that more than a dozen people were killed in one blow at such a long distance, which made them feel so scared that they didn't dare to look up and expose themselves, for fear of ending like a lesson from the previous car.

"This... what kind of bow and arrow is this?" Otsuyama Shitou also took out an arrow that just penetrated his sleeve with lingering fear, and then Zhan Zhan asked steadily. Just now, his right hand was almost penetrated by an arrow that was shooting. If he hadn't reacted in time and moved the position of his arm in an instant, he would have probably been destroyed at this time.

The few Otsuyama samurai around them could not answer the question of Otsuyama Shidong. Although they had seen the Luo family's archery clan's archery clan when they were ambushed by the Luo family in the territory of the Koyo family in the territorial area of ​​the yumi-gun of the taihou Yuming County, they could not feel the power of the Luo family's archery clan at all, but at this time they truly realized the power of the Luo family's archery clan, but it was a bit late, and they even paid the price of two unlucky ghosts being injured by the arrow.

Of course, Nobuyin Yuanchengji, who was under the city, naturally didn't know about the situation. The only situation he saw was that after the first round of arrows was shot, all the defenders on the city turned into turtles, and they all hurried under the head of the city and didn't dare to look up. This time, even the iron cannon team didn't have to take action.

"Keep the formation and be ready to attack at any time." Seeing this, Nobuyin Yuanchengji knew that the archery formation he led could only take a break. The following is the time for the siege troops of the Luo family.

Sure enough, Nobuoyin Yuancheng Temple soon saw Masara issued an order to fully siege the city. Hundreds of standing guards carried the ladder and quickly approached the walls of Kamio City. Behind them, thousands of siege troops were followed by them. At the same time, the siege assault team composed of Masarara's flag head also began to carry giant trees towards the gate of Kamio City.

The Otsuyama family guards on the top of the city were still hiding behind the battlements. At this time, they all looked pale, holding weapons in their hands, opening their mouths slightly, and their hearts were beating violently. They all looked nervous and were breathing heavily. The Luo family's bow and arrow shooting almost scared their courage.

But no matter how fierce the attack was encountered, there would be people who were brave and fearless of death. At this time, a warrior from the Otsuyama family who was responsible for commanding several nearby peasants secretly turned his head and looked outside carefully from the battlement gap. His eyes suddenly opened and he let out a shocking roar: "The enemy has attacked, and they are ready for me. When the enemy rushes under the city wall, shoot me hard."

Although he still had some prestige, he could only order more than ten peasant soldiers under his command. Not many of the others followed his orders, and even made several samurai who were on par with him unhappy, as if they had deprived them of their authority. They issued various orders, some guarding the gate, and some directly defending the Honmaru. Of course, although the orders were different, they all wanted to guard first and then talk about it.

As for Otsuyama, Shitou, who had already been scared by an arrow that had just shot through his sleeve, had secretly returned to the meeting hall. However, when the enemy launched a large-scale attack, the family governor himself, as the chief general, disappeared. How can this make the people below have the courage to fight again? The soldiers are the courage of the general, and the soul of the soldiers. If the soldiers are gone, where will the soldiers have the soul to continue fighting?

Of course, it is obviously impossible for such a concept to be realized by Otsuyama Shitaka, who has not studied military tactics. The only thing he knew was that he had just been frightened. In order not to let more subordinates see his frightened appearance, he had to hide back to the meeting hall for a while.

But after he rested, the situation in the city became serious. Due to the lack of unified command, the defenders could not concentrate their superior firepower against the Luo family army that had already begun to swarm along the cloud ladder leaning against the city wall. Moreover, most of these defenders guarding the city were temporarily recruited peasant soldiers. Not only were their combat effectiveness average, but more serious was that it was the first time they saw someone attacking the city with such a strange cloud ladder. They were immediately scared, and their already low combat effectiveness was reduced again and again.

When Otsuyama Shitou realized that he should not leave the city at this time and immediately appeared at the city again, hundreds of people from the Luo family had already killed the city, and some people had even tried to open the city gate in the direction of the city gate.

"Lord, this city can no longer be held on. We should take the chaos and escape back to Nanguan City from the small road behind the city." At this time, the retainers around us advised.
