Chapter 147 Fire Oil

After stationing at the city of Shinki Castle, Masara did not rush to attack immediately, but first controlled the city of Shinki Town and then put martial law into martial law. At noon, two groups of people set out from Tanoo Castle and Mangari Castle arrived one after another. Nearly two hundred Luo family soldiers surrounded Shinki Castle, and the battle was about to begin.

Everyone gathered in the main tent under Xinmu City.

"How is the situation along the road?" Masarara asked at Masatasa and Yukisuke who were under the tent.

"Your Highness, after my army crossed Mangarikawa, before the official battle was formally fought, the guards on the other side fled. The subordinates just chased after him and immediately continued to march here. There was no stop along the way," Yukisuke reported first.

"The situation is the same for the subordinates. I believe that the main people responsible for guarding the border are forced peasants. They were unwilling to do these coolies at the important moment of autumn harvest. Now our guide to the Shangkura family just gave them an excuse to escape," said Masato Tatsutaki.

"Well, it seems that everything has been going well so far. In addition, do you have a better way to do this cage?" Zhengliang continued to ask.

"Your Highness, the other party's city is built on a mountain, I'm afraid there is only the only way to force the city to cage," Yukisuke shook his head and said. According to past experience, there is only the only way to use the human sea tactic to attack the city.

"Your Highness, why not follow the last time you captured Tano Oi Castle and attacked at night?" Masatoshi Hirasa suggested after thinking about it.

"Masatochi, the last time His Highness took advantage of the other party's defense and could only climb the earth wall and enter the city. Now the Gunkura family is on guard. This method seems to be unfeasible. If it fails, it will also have a great blow to morale." Yukisuke immediately shook his head and objected, "It would be better to follow His Highness's method of capturing Sayama Castle last time. After nightfall, he repeatedly harassed the other party and took the last step."

"This method seems to be feasible," said Masato Tatsutaki.

"No, we want to capture Xinmucheng this afternoon," Masayoshi waved his hand and rejected.

"Ah?" The two retainers below were stunned by the resolution of the head of the family. They had never seen it before forcibly attacking a heavily guarded mountain city within half a day. Is this possible?

"Although the people in the Shangcang family's territory are full of grievances, there are always some loyal pirates, and there are those pirates. These people should be able to arrive one after another in the afternoon. At that time, the family will not have enough energy to deal with these people at the same time, so they must seize Xinmucheng before these people arrive. The methods just now have to wait until night to implement, and time is obviously not allowed." Zhengliang made a brief analysis.

"Your Highness, it seems a bit difficult to force the city to use the current military strength of our family." Ping Zuo Zhengzhong advised tactfully. The Luo family's permanent troops were not many, and once they were too severely damaged in this siege, it would be a bit unworthy of the loss.

"Haha, I've already figured out a solution." Zhengliang smiled slightly, then shouted, "So that's right!"

Hunatongzhuo, who was outside the tent of "Your Highness", immediately bowed into the tent.

"Are the things ready?" Zhengliang asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, you have prepared as you told me." Hunatong replied.

"Your Highness, this..." Yukisuke and Heisa Masataki were confused.

"Hahaha, you will know later." Zhengliang did not make a positive analysis and continued to order, "If you go down, arrange a full meal immediately. After lunch, we will immediately attack the city."

"Yes, Your Highness." Since the head of the family has no intention to explain, the retainers have to act according to the order.

At noon, the sun was shining. Although September was about to enter, the temperature was still high. Masayoshi was sweating heavily while wearing a slim belly curl that was wiped.

"Archer, prepare" Masayoshi ordered the archers lined up in several groups, "Shoot!"

With Zhengliang's order, the long arrow shot towards Xinmu City above like drizzle. The guards on the earth wall immediately hid under the earth wall to avoid being shot.

"Sulphur," saw that the guards on the other party's earth wall were suppressed by bows and arrows, Masara immediately issued a second order. Several feet holding wooden boards borrowed from their nearby homes immediately walked quickly towards the gate of Xinmucheng.

"They are sieging the city, hurry up, stop them." Ukura Yuno, who was standing in the Tianshou Pavilion, shouted immediately when he saw this. A samurai behind him immediately turned around and ran downstairs.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." The guard who received the order immediately risked being shot by the arrows from the city and continued to shoot arrows at the Luo family soldiers who were approaching the city gate. The arrows hit the wooden board and made a series of striking sounds.

"Archer, don't care about the loss of the arrows, shoot me hard," Zhengliang immediately ordered. He must suppress the attack on the city at all costs. After dozens of archers were given the order, they immediately shot arrows on the city uninterruptedly, scaring the city guards who emerged back to the earthen wall.

"Oh no, the city gate is on fire, please use water to extinguish it." A warrior near the city gate exclaimed. It turned out that several foot littors from the Luo family finally arrived at the city gate, and according to Zhengliang's instructions, he poured half a barrel of tincture oil that had been strictly protected onto the city gate of the wooden iron structure, and finally lit the tincture oil.

With a "wow", the lower half of the entire city gate was immediately surrounded by everyone. The Luo family's foot light in charge of ignition was even burned by the stringed fire.

"Quick, hurry, extinguish it," the samurai shouted on the other side of the city gate. Several buckets of clear water immediately poured onto the burning city gate. However, the fire seemed to have only weakened a little, but there was no sign of extinguishing at all. The samurai warrior who was responsible for guarding the city gate was panicked and immediately took the lead in continuing to water the city gate.

Zhengliang, who was closely watching the movements of the city gate, smiled slightly when he saw this. This method of extinguishing fires was futile. You must know that this is tincture oil that can burn on the sea surface, so it is so easy to extinguish? What's more, how much effect can it be achieved by watering the other side of the city gate?

"Siege Team, set off" Seeing that the city gate had burned for a long time, Zhengliang knew that the best time to siege had come, so he immediately ordered.

Several feet all over his body immediately raised a log and rushed towards the city gate.

"Arrowers keep shooting archers, don't let them poke their heads out," Masayoshi continued to order.

"Ah, what is that?" At this time, Shangcang's Zuqing, who was responsible for extinguishing the fire in the city gate, was already panicked. Anyone who saw the fire that could not be completely extinguished no matter how watered it, would be panicked.

"Dong, dong, dong..." At this time, the Luo Family siege outside the city had already begun to hit the city gate with logs.

"Hurry, find something to block the city gate." Seeing that the fire at the city gate could not be extinguished, Yuye Ukura had to come down from the Tianshou Pavilion and command himself.

"Clang" As soon as Kamikakura Yuno finished speaking, the severely burned city gate was finally overwhelmed and fell down with a bang, revealing an empty exit, leading directly to the outside of the city.

"Fire extinguishing" had already prepared several Luo Family's family outside the city gate and immediately pushed some dirt to the burning ground. "Kill" Ping Zuo Zhengzhong, who had been prepared at the city gate, shouted loudly and led the Luo Family's soldiers to quickly attack the city gate.
