The sound of shouting and killing, firearms, bowstrings and noises were heard nearby, and countless shaking stars in the distance were large numbers of people! Although it was early morning, everyone was awake!

The soldiers on the top of the fortress's solid wall held fire, guns, bows and crossbows in their hands, and their eyes widened.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a Japanese warrior lifted his hands and turned his back, and suddenly "cracked..." There were a lot of noises. The guy's whole body seemed to be slamming, and blood was splattering in his torso, and arrows were inserted into his body. The guy didn't snort, leaned forward and fell to the ground.

After a while, two more Japanese warriors emerged. They immediately pulled their bows, but it was too late. The crossbow arrow flew over first, and the two of them fell down from the wall like hedgehogs.

There were two cannons on the corner wall in this corner that were filled with gravel iron sheets at night, but they were useless for a while... The opportunity to use was just the last defense of a large number of enemy soldiers rushing to the city wall! No other situations could be used, the shotgun range was only a few dozen steps, and the opposite corner wall could not reach this side; the cannons on this wall could not bombard the wall because the negative elevation angle of the cannon was very small.

But it was really difficult for the Yujun to rush up too many people. The firearms on the opposite corner wall kept shooting at the side and back of the person climbing the ladder. It was very difficult to climb the wall with such a simple ladder when it was hit by fire. It was difficult to climb a few people after finally getting up. It was already very rare for the Yujun to not collapse!

In the middle of the wall, there were even fewer Japanese soldiers who could rush up. Occasionally, an enemy soldier climbed up the battlement, but it was full of Xu's army. Reinforcements from the city came in!

"Wow!" The warrior of the Yu army was very brave, holding a knife with both hands and swung it. The soldier Xu in front was wearing armor, but he was holding a short single knife in his hand, and stabbed him nearby. Unexpectedly, the warrior was very skillful in fighting. After a move, the warrior actually avoided the attack in the narrow space. At the same time, he hit the soldier of Xu army's armor with one knife. "Clang!" The violent metal collision sound, and the sound of the blade pulling on the metal "squeaking" made people feel sour.

In an instant, the warrior hissed and another cherry gun stabbed into his waist.

The warrior's life-successful rush gave the trunk a little space, and someone immediately climbed up again!

At this moment, a deafening sound of "Boom Boom Boom" was heard in the hole of the wall, and the moment the artillery fired was illuminated.

Xu Jun earthen castle is not good-looking, but it has a very regular shape and is almost circular overall. However, the six solid walls are triangular and protruding from two sides. Opposite the wall is a six-color triangle solid wall, facing the side and back of the Yujun's attack direction. Three cannons fired on the opposite Liuhua wall. The distance is close, and the deviation is laughing. The rays of the shells are parallel to the direction of the wall here!

Suddenly, several whistling iron balls almost flew over the wall, bouncing on the ground with brute force!

"Ah..." The soldier standing under a ladder opened his mouth wide, watching a howling black shadow bounce off the ground with a "bang" and almost flew over his face. The ladder suddenly broke with a "click" sound, as if it had flew up! The soldier was so scared that he stood there like wood, and had not come back to his senses for a long time. Many ladders were knocked away under the cannon fire, and the enemy soldiers attached to the wall were shouting in chaos.

"Boom boom boom..." Artillery everywhere began to roar one after another.

There is nothing in the night sky, but the howling iron ball is extending into the torches...

The scene of the Japanese army's defeat was almost impossible to see, but the backs of the remaining defeated generals could be seen in the flash of fire. The huge sound of cannons and dense fire-gun blasts covered up many tragic screams, and many lives disappeared silently in the night.

Zhang Jiankui and others felt the danger of being approached by the enemy tonight, so they made some changes to night defense. The secret whistle was changed more frequently to prevent people on duty from falling asleep; preparing to ignite oil in the defenders; at the same time, after nightfall, they would launch a rocket into the air at random at any time... There were gunpowder cartridges tied to the arrows, which could illuminate the ground within a short period of time when they exploded.

Xu Jun suffered more casualties overnight than before, mainly by bows and arrows, with fewer people killed and more injured. The few people who were shot to death were only unlucky and were shot on the face! As long as the arrows were not shot through the armor, even if the arrows shot through the armor, they would not be injured deeply, and would not cause death... The Japanese warriors' bows and arrows were not small, especially the lethality in the vicinity should not be slighted, and some plate armors were shot through!

...The next night, the Japanese army attacked again at night, but this time the results of the battle made Ono Haogu unsatisfied. He was knocked back by fire before he even got close to the fortress.

A general who participated in the night attack made a statement: "Mr. Ono, General Mo thought that under such circumstances, the enemy's firearms were too strong, and it was difficult to successfully attack the city with only a wooden ladder; the fort was small and it was difficult to develop the number of people, and it was even more impossible to gather troops in the fort to fight together, so he could only be killed and killed by the enemy. General Mo suggested that there was no need to climb the wall at night attack, as long as he tried to get close, he used a bow and arrow to kill and consume the enemy."

Yoko Ono also realized a problem. He suffered heavy casualties here, but his mentality was never adjusted: in fact, this inconspicuous fortress cannot be conquered overnight...

A very strange fort! It can only accommodate a few hundred people; but after trying all the ways, it is still difficult to break through with an absolute advantage of troops. This has been separated from Ono's long-standing knowledge for many years.

A few days later, Yoko Ono got a news about the war on the sea.

He now valued Yang Gun, a Khitan, and then told Yang Gun the news: "The Goryeo's fleet was close to Tsushima Island. In addition to the Goryeo naval army, it was also filled with food and fodder, which must have come to reinforce the Shijian Fort. However, there were not many ships, and they were discovered and surrounded by the Japanese army, and most of the food and grass were seized."

After hearing this, Yang Gun pondered for a long time and said, "The Goryeo people must have talked about something with Xu. What they were all focused on is to obtain the old land of the Bohai Kingdom and restore the territory of the Goguryeo. The Goryeo had prepared and operated Pingjing (Ping_Rang) for many years, and kept migrating to the north, attracting and inciting all ethnic groups in the old land of the Bohai Kingdom to join, but never gave up ambitions.

The old land of the Bohai Kingdom had a population of various ethnic groups, but there were not many Khitans. The Daliao had sparse troops in the Bohai Kingdom, but it still made Goryeo very afraid. Therefore, the Koryeo people wanted to use the power of Xu Kingdom to deal with the Daliao. This time, the help of Xu Kingdom's shipping was mostly to please Xu Kingdom, and this was used as a reason to negotiate conditions."

Ono Yoko listened carefully and nodded slightly.

Yang Gun said again: "The Goryeo people only want the old land of the Bohai Kingdom and have no interest in the land of Japan across the sea. On the one hand, they want to please Xu Kingdom and act like this; on the other hand, they are never willing to mobilize the power of the whole country to join forces with the Xu Army to advance eastward, otherwise they will not be able to compete with the Bohai Kingdom and Liao Army, and they will be even less able to occupy such a vast land."

After hearing this, Ono Haogu thought to himself that this Khitan was not only a military general, but at least he was quite knowledgeable about the overall situation. Although some small details on Ono Haogu were disliked, the longer they spent time together, the more impressive Ono Haogu looked at him.

Yoko Ono believed that Xu's army was weak at sea, otherwise there would be no need to ask the Goryeo Navy to help. The Goryeo people were unwilling to do their best. For a long time, the Japanese navy was able to block the sea reinforcements of Ishimi Castle.

He reexamined the situation of the battle and believed that the previous situation was a little wrong: first of all, he underestimated the enemy, and he suffered more than once here... But there were only a few hundred people in the enemy's army, and this idea was like a demonic obstacle in his heart.

Secondly, in the mentality of underestimating the enemy, he felt that he had been in a mistake strategy, which was to be persistent in breaking the fortress in an urgent manner.

Ono Yoko thought for a long time and re-formed his combat strategy: "First siege Ishimi Fortress for a long time, dig ditches to approach the fortress, and then attacked them with small elite troops at night, and used night to shoot with bows and arrows to consume Xu's soldiers and ammunition.

When the ammunition and food are exhausted and the troops are exhausted, then attack the city again!"

There are some details in this strategy. The Shijian Fort is different from ordinary square shapes. Even if the ditches are dug, it is impossible to ensure that the soldiers hiding inside are not attacked, because no matter how they are dug in the direction of the trench, as long as they are too close, the flanks and the back will always be exposed to enemy firepower in a certain direction.

However, it is safer to move to the outer periphery of the protruding groove... It is better than being bombarded by artillery a mile away.

In addition, this slightly prevents Ono Yoko from increasing his troops, but requires more elite samurai.

So he had no choice but to write a letter to Heian Kyo and asked the court to send more elite samurai soldiers to come for reinforcements.

...

When Ono Yoko asked for soldiers' memorials arrived at the Heianjing court, the ministers' mood could be imagined! Fifty times the troops had been besieged for more than a month, and had not yet captured the Xujun Fortress, and now they need reinforcements?

The ministers accused Ono Yoko, and some people could no longer bear it. They directly submitted a memorial request to recall Ono Yoko back to the court to question the crime, and sent another good general to Ishimi!

Even the Minister of Care of Fujiwara Mirai, who was forced to support Ono at the beginning, became dissatisfied at this time.

However, on the pavilion, a very silent middle-aged man said softly: "Minister Left first reads the secret report. The lower official believes that sending anyone to Ishimiko can't do better than Onojun."

When Fujiwara Mirai heard this, her heart suddenly felt chill and her body seemed to shivering.

In his heart, he would rather believe that this was the evil result of Ono Yogu's incompetence... If it weren't for this, how unimaginable would Xu Jun's combat power be?

Fujiwara Mirai couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "There are only hundreds of people in Xu! That small Tuzhai is not a big city that has been managed for many years, but a temporary earthen wall..."

The middle-aged man slowly walked up and bowed his hand to Fujiwara Mirai. Fujiwara Mirai calmed down and reached out to take it.

Before he could see it, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, because he still believed that the people around him would not talk nonsense.
