Chapter 919 Fenglin Volcano!
In the third month of the National War, Catherine added 60,000 troops and reorganized the Tsar Guard and a group of cavalry.
Some of the mesh guns needed by the Tsar Guard can be replenished in the Nine-level firearm workshop.
Chu Tian's troops reached 180,000, leaving 30,000 troops to defend the city and sent 150,000 troops to attack Oda Nobunaga.
Caterina followed with 60,000 soldiers.
The two of them combined a total of 210,000 troops.
Caterina has her own pride and wants to squeeze into the top ten. After all, she has too many enemies. If she does not have a certain strength to protect herself in the main world, the empire she has established may be destroyed.
The 210,000 army is swaying, with the dragon flag and the eagle flag waving.
When Chu Tian's army came out of the city, Iga ninja, who was hiding not far away, immediately reacted and went back to report to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Chu Zimou came to attack us and sent people to inform Caesar and Constantine that we must drag the Romans into the water, otherwise we may be destroyed by Chu Zimou."
When Tadaoyi heard that Chu Tian was in action, he immediately sent someone to inform Caesar and Constantine, believing that only these two emperors could take action could he curb Chu Tian's military attack.
"We cannot rely entirely on the Romans. We must rely on our own strength to defeat Chu Zimou."
Oda Nobunaga changed into a cloak and prepared to lead the Japanese army to attack.
Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Kobayakawa Keitaka, Tachibanae Yuki, Shibata Katsuyaki and other Japanese daimyos or generals picked up their own samurai swords and fought back.
If they are completely defeated by Chu Tian, then they will not only be eliminated, but will also lose confidence when fighting Chu Tian in the main world.
Correspondingly, if they can win, they may gain the confidence in facing Chu Tian, at least not becoming one-sided slaughter.
"We suffered a few years ago under his command, and today we will definitely ask for advice again." Kenshin Uesugi looked at Tadao Takeda on the side, "I heard that the tiger is seriously ill. You should inherit the tiger's ability of the 'Wind Forest Volcano', don't let me down."
Tadaoyi tooka is a little awe of Kenshin Uesugi.
Echigo Kenshin Uesugi and Kakai Nobunaga Takeda Nobunaga are a pair of evenly matched mortal enemies. When the two strong men compete, they give Oda Nobunaga the opportunity to rise.
With its population advantage and player support, Oda Nobunaga further provoked the relationship between the two and joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Takeda Shingen was seriously ill and was even more powerless to stop Oda Nobunaga's rise.
Tadaoyi inherited the position of Takeda's family governor and also inherited the characteristics of Takeda Shingen's "Wind Forest Volcano".
"Wind Forest Volcano" is a relatively interesting feature, derived from "The Art of War" and has four different states.
First, it is as fast as the wind, with a marching speed of +10%, a forced marching speed of +20%, a battlefield maneuver speed of +15%, and an adverse terrain impact of -20%.
Secondly, Xu Rulin, the military formation is maintained at +40%, and it is not easy to cause unfavorable states such as chaos or fear.
Third, the invasion is like fire, the legion's attack power is +30%, the attack speed is +10%, and the enemy's morale decline rate is +15%.
Fourth, it is as motionless as a mountain, with defense power +40%, and morale decline rate -30%.
"Wind Forest Volcano" has four effects, but the limitation is that only one effect can be applied at a time. That is to say, the main general needs to decide to make his legion apply one of the four effects based on the ever-changing battlefield situation.
Although only one effect can be applied, it has higher practical value. "Wind Forest Volcano" is already one of the most powerful features of the Japanese civilization zone.
That's why Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda were considered dragons and tigers of the Ultimate Warring States Period.
The expression of Tadaoyi Takeda, who inherited this characteristic, was not very relaxed, because the enemy to be against was the most powerful lord of the Han Empire.
The characteristics of "Wind Forest Volcano" still come from "The Art of War". Tadaoyi takes reason to suspect that "Wind Forest Volcano" is just one of Sun Wu's characteristics.
"We must wait until the Romans send troops before we can make a decisive battle with Chu Zi, otherwise we will go to die."
Tadaoyi still believed that he should wait until the arrival of the two Roman emperors' legions to compete with Chu Tian.
Any of Caesar and Constantine's legions were not inferior to Oda Nobunaga.
"Tada, do you look at Chu Zimou too high? In order to defeat King Yuegu, he lost a lot of money, and his troops should not be much greater than us. There may be tens of thousands more people, but it is definitely not a ten times the gap in the main world."
Tachibana Yuki thought Takeda Tadao looked down on Chu Tian a little.
"This is not a matter of size, but his terrifying iron cavalry, which combines several terrifying heavy cavalry. The only cavalry we can take out is Chi Bei. Therefore, I suggest that we stick to the city and wait for the Romans to come and support, Chu Zimou must retreat."
"The Takeda family, who has always been brave and good at fighting, actually chose Gucheng to defend..."
All the daimyos and generals were surprised by Tadaoyi's choice.
Takeda Tadashi's choice was to regard himself as an absolute disadvantage, so he chose to stick to his own path.
"If the Romans did not come to support us, we would be forced to leave here."
Oda Nobunaga was already ready to fight in the wild, but Takeda Tada's suggestion made Oda Nobunaga hesitate and wonder if he should act like this.
"Please trust my judgment, the Romans will come and help us."
"Since that's the case, then we choose to fight cowardly."
Considering the strength comparison, Oda Nobunaga finally agreed to Takeda Tada's turtle tactics.
Turtle tactics look very cowardly, but in fact, they are often very practical.
Teams of soldiers from the Japanese shogunate climbed the city, and the flags of various famous houses were inserted on the city wall, archers and contrapters were placed in place, and the crossbows were brought to the city wall by warriors to strengthen their defense.
Some warriors even wrapped stones with coarse cloth and used them as throwing weapons.
Standing on the city wall, Xue stood in the distance, the Han army was approaching the city.
Strictly speaking, this is the first serious battle between two civilizations.
The Japanese shogunate once again tried to provoke the status of the sect leader.
"Her Majesty the Queen, the army of the lord of the Han Empire left the city, and the direction of the march was the city where the shogun Oda Nobunaga was located!"
The scout cavalry deployed by Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Spain realized Chu Tian’s intention to attack Oda Nobunaga.
"Damn, this guy doesn't take me seriously at all."
As one of the strong women, Isabella was ignored by Chu Tian many times.
Chu Tian attacked the King of Tsukigu under Isabella's nose, sent troops to attack Oda Nobunaga, and really regarded Isabella as air.
Even though Spain is not a large civilization due to population size, it also has a glorious history such as "invincible fleet", "new route opening", and "Spanish phalanx", which is ignored, and Isabella is also angry.
"Cordoba, assemble a large army and intervene in the battle between Chutian and Oda Nobunaga!"
Isabella recruited a Spanish general, Gonzalo de Cordoba, the founder of the Spanish platoon, which, in her opinion, turned into a battle of dignity.
Cordoba cautiously asked Isabella for advice: "Her Majesty, do we really want to intervene in the war between the Eastern lords? I am afraid that our Spanish formation may not necessarily defeat the first lord of the Han Empire. If we lose, we may be eliminated."
Isabella was reminded by the famous Spanish general Cordoba, so she calmed down a little.
The decisive battle between Chu Tian and Oda Nobunaga may be quite brutal, after all, the Romans may also intervene in the war.
Once multiple forces intervene in a war, the degree of tragedy may be unimaginable.
"This is probably the helplessness of a medium-sized civilization."
Although Isabella was angry that Chu Tian ignored her, she had no choice but to do anything because Chu Tian was stronger and stronger, so she had the right to speak.
The lord world, a kingdom with a population of less than 10 million is regarded as a small kingdom or a principality. Civilizations between 10 and 30 million are considered medium kingdoms, while a kingdom with more than 30 million is already at the level of a large kingdom or empire.
Isabella's Spanish Kingdom is between a small kingdom and a large kingdom, and has little say.
"There may be Toree in the north, the Umayyad in the west, and the Alexander in the east, how can I break the deadlock..."
Isabella fell into silence.
While Isabella was hesitating, Chu Tian and Katerina's coalition were already at the city of Oda Nobunaga, and the 210,000 troops continued. Iga Ninja's vision had been compressed to the vicinity of this city.
Chu Tian brought a large number of siege crossbows and catapult parts, as well as red cannons.
Originally, Chu Tian thought that Oda Nobunaga would choose to fight in the wild, but now, Oda Nobunaga chose the safest way - defending the city.
The field battle turned into a siege battle, and for Chu Tian, the loss of more troops may be possible.
"Build a catapult, erect siege crossbows and red barbarian cannons."
Chu Tian is not unfamiliar with siege wars. With the Red Barbarian Cannons, Chu Tian's firepower in siege was stronger. The combination of bows and arrows, catapults, and red Barbarian cannons was enough to suppress the bows and arrows of the defenders.
"The Romans may send troops to assist Oda Nobunaga and must leave a reserve army."
Chu Tian set up camp under Oda Nobunaga's city. This is a preview for the future siege of Japan. If some of the trump cards of Japan can be played out, it is naturally the best.
What made Chu Tian more uneasy were the two lords in the east - Caesar and Constantine.
During this siege, Geng Yan served as the siege lord, and Wu Qi defended the camp outside the city, guarding against the Roman legion that could support Oda Nobunaga at any time.
The Japanese defenders were displayed on the city walls, and they were extremely nervous. They could already see the endless Han and Russian troops.
"I'm so angry that I'm as strong as a tiger. My ability is 'Wind Forest Volcano'. This time, I can only choose to be 'unmoved as a mountain' in this battle."
Before the war started, Tada Takeda took the lead in converting the "Wind Forest Volcano" feature added by Takeda Legion to an "unmoving like a mountain" state, improving the legion's defense and reducing the morale decline rate.
"The Han Empire, according to Yiren, is a mountain that we cannot cross."
