#265 - Enter the Land of Sakura!

After defeating Macedonia, Tuo Yi checked the world rankings and saw that his military strength was similar to Sakura Country, both in the 100s.

The Macedonian capital, Pella, bordered Sakura Country's Fukuoka.

Tuo Yi observed the situation on the map: "Hmm... although our military strengths are about the same, there's only one chariot near Fukuoka, so I can launch a surprise attack and take it directly.

Moreover, the soldiers from Lisbon just arrived to support and haven't left yet, so the chances of winning are high."

He arranged his archers and swordsmen around Fukuoka, just like before.

On the diplomacy screen, the leader of Sakura Country, Hojo Tokimune, appeared.

Among all the leaders in *Civilization VI*, he could be considered the most handsome, with his proper appearance, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, wearing a light blue samurai outfit.

Historically, Hojo Tokimune was a devout follower of Zen Buddhism, building the Engaku-ji Temple in Kamakura, which led to a trend of samurai enthusiastically practicing Zen.

At this moment, he was holding a Zen mudra in the shape of a small boat with both hands at his lower abdomen, a string of redwood prayer beads wrapped around his left wrist, and his eyes were bright and piercing: "Do not display your sword unless you truly intend to fight.

Withdraw your soldiers from my land."

【My troops are merely passing through】

【Your worries are justified (Declare War)】

【Ignore the request】

Tuo Yi hadn't finished deploying his troops yet: "The chariot and spearmen are almost in position, ignore it for now!"

After two turns, once the soldiers had completely surrounded Fukuoka, he chose to declare a surprise war in the diplomacy interface.

Hojo Tokimune's expression became serious as he gripped the handle of his long samurai sword, raised it in front of his chest, and slowly drew the sharp blade from its sheath, emitting a pleasant sound: "The divine wind will protect us and destroy you, just like it destroyed others."

【Goodbye】

The chariot's movement is 3, allowing it to directly reach inside the city from outside and attack first.

Two horses pulled the chariot, raising their hooves and stirring up dust as they charged into the city gate, using the chariot's momentum to scatter the defending soldiers' formation.

Two warriors with spears and round shields were on the chariot, poking twice with their spears before the chariot made a 180-degree turn and rushed out.

Although the momentum was impressive, the output seemed average, only dealing 24 damage.

"Archers! Archers, attack!"

The archers drew their longbows, and arrows rained down into the city, but they were all blocked by the defending soldiers' shields.

Your archers attacked the enemy city center, dealing 15 damage!

Tuo Yi scratched his head: "It feels like Sakura Country is much harder to fight than Macedonia!"

Fukuoka was attacked continuously by the chariot and archers, but the green health bar only decreased slightly.

The spearmen blocked Sakura Country's builder on the water, but were unable to attack.

Tuo Yi was a little dumbfounded: "What, can't I capture the worker? Or can't land units attack on the sea?

Whatever, just stay there, I don't need you anyway."

The swordsmen with the highest output were in the middle of the forest, requiring 2 movement points for each tile, so it took two turns to reach the walls of Fukuoka, while Sakura Country's builder on the sea escaped back into the city.

A team of Sakura Country archers could already be seen emerging from the fog in the rear, moving towards Fukuoka to provide support.

The next turn, the archers stepped forward and shot arrows at the spearmen on the sea, directly reducing the spearmen's health by half.

A chariot also appeared in sight.

"When are Lisbon's reinforcements arriving? They're unreliable... hmm, I feel like I need to send more troops."

Tuo Yi directly opened Pella and started browsing: "Archers, 240 gold.

Spearmen, heavy chariot, 260 gold.

Swordsmen, 360 gold.

Ballista, 480 gold... isn't this ballista just a trebuchet?

It's so expensive, it must be awesome."

Looking at his gold, he had exactly 500.

Buy it!

Sakura Country's archers, in order to attack the spearmen, were exposed within the attack range of the Chinese chariot.

Tuo Yi felt that the chariot wasn't very effective at attacking cities, so he switched targets and directly rammed the chariot into the archers, knocking one archer to the ground, unable to get up.

The spearmen chased after the builder who was fleeing back to the city, finally capturing him.

Tuo Yi muttered: "So that's why I couldn't attack on the sea.

This builder only has one build charge left, what a pity.

Swordsmen alone can't take the city, so I'll save some health and wait for my trebuchet to arrive."

Although he captured Sakura Country's builder, the spearmen were focused fired by the chariot and archers, leaving them with very little health, scaring Tuo Yi into quickly ordering the spearmen to go to sea in the next turn, taking the captured builder with them.

The Sakura Country archers were rammed twice by the chariot, leaving them with very little health as well, and they ran towards the rear.

The remaining chariots of both sides collided! They were both low on health.

The chariot had accumulated enough experience in the previous battle, and Tuo Yi had an idea, choosing to upgrade the chariot!

Although it couldn't attack this turn, it restored 50 health.

The next turn, the opponent's low-health chariot charged up and was killed by Tuo Yi's chariot in defense.

A new team of Sakura Country archers appeared in the fog, shooting a volley of arrows at the spearmen fleeing on the sea, instantly destroying the boat and killing everyone.

Tuo Yi felt a little regretful: "Aiya, they were so close to escaping!"

He also felt a little excited.

When the war with Macedonia started, their soldiers were fighting on the front lines with the city-states, and the capital in the rear was extremely empty, so it was captured almost without firing a shot.

But Sakura Country had developed very well, constantly sending reinforcements, and the intense battle gave him a sense of meeting a worthy opponent.

However, the ballista he had purchased at great expense had moved outside Fukuoka.

This ballista was operated by three strong men, two responsible for pushing the cart and adjusting the direction, and the other responsible for loading and firing.

One strong man laboriously picked up a heavy stone, loaded it onto the mechanism.

He pulled the trigger, and the ballista's throwing arm suddenly sprang up, throwing the stone far away, smashing into the city with a "bang", splashing up a cloud of dust, with great power.

Your ballista attacked the enemy city center, dealing 38 damage!

Tuo Yi raised an eyebrow: "Awesome! Worth the 480 gold!"

The ballista and archers attacked remotely together, while the defending troops in Fukuoka could only passively take a beating.

The swordsmen also joined the attack.

It looked like it would only take 2-3 turns to take it down.

On the other side, the chariot was shot by two teams of Sakura Country archers, becoming low on health again.

Tuo Yi didn't want to sacrifice this upgraded chariot, so he let it escape to the rear.

The chariot's movement is 3 points, the archers definitely can't catch up.

"Hmm... Sakura Country should have transferred all their soldiers over, which means that as long as I take one city, the other cities will have no troops to defend and can only be slaughtered."

Attack!

Fukuoka created another archer, but it couldn't affect the battle anymore.

The ballista smashed down, dealing 44 damage.

The swordsmen rushed into the city, the final blow!

Your swordsmen occupied the enemy city of Fukuoka!
