Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 537 High Morale
Fazheng and Wei Yan in Hiroshima City did not make any other preparations except leading people to widen the moat around the city.Anyway, they didn't plan to go out of the city to fight the enemy, and it was useless to prepare.

After Abe Nagatobu rushed to the outside of Hiroshima City with an army of [-] from the island country, he surrounded Hiroshima City very smoothly.In fact, it's unavoidable that the soldiers of the island country are not going well. If there is no obstacle, if it is not going well, it can only exist in a dream.

The siege of Hiroshima City was also expected by Fazheng and the others.Since I didn't have the ability to fight out, the result of waiting was naturally surrounded.

"Takanao, how long do you think we can hold on?" Wei Yan stood on the wall of Hiroshima City, looking at the soldiers of the island country who couldn't see beyond the city, but asked Fazheng with a relaxed expression.

Fazheng was looking at the island army outside the city with a pleasant smile on his face. "Bun Chang thinks, how long will it take for the island nation's army to reach the top of Hiroshima Castle?"

Are the two really heartless? They are not worried about the fall of Hiroshima City at all.It's that the two of them have already done the best they can. If that's the case, then what's the use of worrying?
Facing the army of tens of thousands of island nations, no matter how elite the soldiers in the city were, they would inevitably feel a little apprehensive.Especially those folks in the city who must help defend the city. In the beginning, they were able to stand up with their enthusiasm, but now it is a bit difficult for them to stand firm after seeing the boundless army of the island nation.

Wei Yan and Fazheng acted extremely calm at this moment, which made the soldiers on the city wall and the strong men who helped them feel a little more at ease.

After Abe Yongxin surrounded the city, he was naturally at ease.According to his information, there are only [-] defenders in the city, so why be afraid?
Without any shouting, Abe Yongxin directly ordered the army to attack from all sides regardless of priority.

Attack from all sides, regardless of priority, so that while the soldiers defending the city had to disperse their soldiers, it also dispersed the attacking army.If the number of defenders in the city is insufficient, then this is undoubtedly one of the best methods.

There were only 3000 defenders in the city, and the island army besieged them on all sides regardless of priority, which made it impossible for the soldiers in the city to get a rest.Defending the city is a physical job. If there is no sufficient information, it will only take a few days. I am afraid that the soldiers defending the city will not even be able to lift their knives.

It's just a pity that although Abe Yongxin had a good idea, the situation in the city was not what he thought after all.

There are indeed only three thousand defenders in the city, but there are still thousands of people willing to help.Although those strong people could not fight with the enemy like real soldiers, they were still able to draw their bows, shoot arrows and throw rolling stones and logs down the city before the island soldiers rushed to the city wall.

In this way, the soldiers in the city can also save a lot of physical strength, and can quickly rest after repelling the soldiers of the island country.

Especially among the three thousand soldiers in Hiroshima City, there are hundreds of soldiers summoned by the system as the mainstay.The existence of these soldiers also serves as a good example.These soldiers are all passionate young people. Even if they are all Paoze, who would think that they must be worse?

Especially because of their love for Pao Ze, they would not watch Pao Ze fight alone, while they slumped on the ground and watched.

After a day of fierce fighting, although the defenders in the city lost a lot and were exhausted, they also caused a lot of losses to the soldiers of the island nation.In particular, Fazheng had studied the case of Ye Mo defending the city before, and learned a lot.

When it comes to war culture, the Han Dynasty has to be hundreds of years ahead of the island countries.And Ye Mo's experience includes the accumulation of thousands of years of China's development.

In this way, it was not until Abe Naganobu counted his points at night that he discovered that in just one day, more than 5000 soldiers of the island country had been killed or wounded, although more than 3000 of them were temporarily recruited civilians.

Originally, Abe Yongxin planned to continue the storm with torches at night.But looking at the number of casualties, Abe Nagatobu reluctantly gave up this plan.

Although the attack continues according to the current level of damage, Hiroshima City will definitely be captured in a maximum of two days.However, Abe Nagatobu did not dare to continue to do so after getting the number of casualties. Although Oda Nobunaga said that he was only allowed to take Hiroshima Castle, he did not say anything else.But Abe Yongxin understands that if the soldiers lose too much, his life in the future will not be easy for Abe Yongxin.

The rare one-night rest also made Fazheng and Wei Yanchang in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, at the end of the day, the loss of soldiers in the city was relatively small, only more than 300 people.However, after a day of fierce fighting, these soldiers were almost exhausted.

When night fell and the soldiers of the island country retreated, these soldiers lay down on the city wall directly. Even their food was brought up by the people in the city, and then they leaned on the city wall to eat.

"Xiaozhi, are you alright?" Wei Yan still had some strength left, and was patrolling the city wall.After seeing Fazheng lying on the city wall with the soldiers, he casually touched Fazheng's foot with his foot.

After Fazheng heard Wei Yan's voice, he raised his head from the ground with difficulty, glanced at Wei Yan, and then replied loudly: "No? Why don't you go and bring your sister in front of Lao Tzu now, and see I can do that!"

Fazheng also often stays with ordinary soldiers, so he also understands how those people feel at this time.Therefore, in the face of Wei Yan's kind greetings, Fazheng's words were also somewhat nasty.

When Fazheng said this, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter, and the fear of death in their hearts also instantly faded a bit.

When Wei Yan heard what Fazheng said and the laughter of the soldiers around him, he instantly understood the meaning of what Fazheng said. "If I had a younger sister, I would really like to recognize you as my younger sister, but it's such a pity! However, I don't know if you have an unmarried older sister."

After saying this, Wei Yan laughed and left this section of the city wall.After hearing Wei Yan's words, the other soldiers burst into laughter.

The soldiers who didn't know about other sections of the city wall saw those soldiers smiling happily, and after being curious in their hearts, they also inquired.After inquiring, they were all amused.

After the soldiers laughed, their fear of death faded a bit.In fact, there were quite a few soldiers who expressed that they would marry each other as in-laws at this time, and as long as they could go back alive by then, they must be true brothers.

After a round of inspection, Wei Yan had to go back to the City Lord's Mansion in the city to prepare for the next day's affairs.Since Fazheng is exhausted now, there are some things that Wei Yan has to do for him.

When walking down the city wall, Wei Yan heard the laughter of the soldiers on the city wall, and a slight smile appeared on his tense face.

But at this time, the island nation's troops outside the city all had bitter faces.After a hard day of fighting, thousands of brothers were lost in the end. It's no wonder that the soldiers of the island country are in a better mood.

At this time, Abe Yongxin just thought that it would take a few days to recapture Hiroshima City without particularly large losses, so he didn't pay too much attention to the morale of those soldiers.Besides, it wasn't the private soldiers of his Abe family who lost, so he wouldn't care about it.

Unknowingly, the mentality of the soldiers on both sides also changed greatly.The morale of the army is in stark contrast.

By the next day, when the island nation's army was about to continue attacking the city, the morale of the defenders in the city was also extremely high.Looking at the appearance of those soldiers, they don't look like they have been fighting for a day, and the blood on their bodies is completely like a new force.
