    Chapter 2387: Tokyo Tatusha (Part 2)


    There were many powerful generals such as Dian Wei Xuchu, Wu Ziwei, and Liangshan Wuhu, who participated in the siege. The siege on the third day was much stronger than the previous two days.


    After the war, the Qin and Wu coalition forces suffered 5,000 casualties, but caused 3,000 troops to the Oda family.


    Without using Le Yi''s ruthless move, the number of troops injured and injured was even smaller, but the same war loss data as that of the Wei and Song dynasties was produced.


    The third day''s offensive and defensive battle was also the most intense battle so far. Ximen''s Wei and Song coalition forces also maintained the same battle-loss ratio as yesterday.


    In other words, within this day alone, the four-nation coalition lost 15,000 troops, while the Oda family lost another 6,000 troops.


    In addition to the casualties in the previous two days, the Oda family suffered a total of 15,000 casualties, and lost 15% of its troops in just three days.


    Of course, the casualties of the four coalition forces of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu were naturally even greater, with a total of 29,000 troops in three days.


    But no matter how many casualties were, they were Japanese, not Han, and they had no impact on the four-nation coalition.


    Moreover, the four-nation coalition can continue to recruit reserve troops from the rear to act as cannon fodder.


    On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga has only one city left in Tokyo, and its troops cannot be replenished, so every little consumption is less.


    As one rises and the other falls, it is just around the corner to break through Tokyo City.


    Although anyone with a discerning eye can see this, it still needs to fill it with a large number of lives before truly breaking through this city.


    When the four-nation coalition forces first joined forces, the total force was 220,000, and then Zhou Yu added another 30,000, which is 250,000 troops.


    But after just three days of siege, nearly 30,000 troops were lost and the number of troops was reduced to 220,000.


    Even the four-nation coalition forces could not bear such huge losses, but it was impossible to stop siege before capturing Tokyo.


    Therefore, after some discussion, the senior leaders of the Wei, Song and Wu coalition forces unanimously decided to transfer the general guarding the rear to the front line and continue to recruit cannon fodder to join the Tokyo offensive and defensive war.


    Among the three coalition forces of Wei, Song and Wu, Song had the largest territory, and 30,000 Japanese troops were transferred to the front line, while both Wei and Wu were 20,000.


    With this addition, the number of coalition forces in Tokyo has increased instead of decreasing, but has risen to 290,000 troops. Even if it is forced to fill it with human lives, it is enough to smash the gates of Tokyo.


    However, in this case, the troops on the territory controlled by the Three Kingdoms coalition will be basically recruited. If only a few new recruits are left to maintain public order, a large number of crimes and unrest will inevitably breed.


    In this regard, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces all acted indifferently. After all, they were just here to make money, and they just needed to get the money and food. They didn''t care whether Japan was in chaos or not.


    It also takes time to mobilize the army from the rear to the front line, and during this period, the four-national coalition''s fierce attack on Tokyo would obviously not stop.


    After the fourth day of the offensive and defensive war, after statistics, the coalition forces lost another 12,000 people, while the Oda family suffered 5,500 casualties.


    The offensive on the fifth day was much weaker than the first four days, because the generals consumed a lot of physical strength and had to rest and recover their physical strength.


    Therefore, although 11,000 people were also lost on this day, only 4,500 people were lost to the Oda family, which was the day with the least casualties in the five-day offensive and defensive battle.


    The loss of tens of thousands of troops every day. Such exaggerated numbers made the generals of the coalition army frightened].


    If their troops were allowed to attack the city, they would not be able to capture Tokyo even if they were all destroyed.


    Looking back at the strategies before the war, the coalition generals realized that the strategy of using Japanese to control Japanese was simply too correct.


    On the sixth day, the reserve troops of the Wei, Song and Wu three kingdoms finally arrived at the Tokyo battlefield, and the total strength of the coalition forces also recovered to 270,000, and then launched a more tragic siege.


    The countless Japanese people launched an attack on Tokyo City, and wanted to use their flesh and blood to forcefully open a strong city like Tokyo.


    Oda Nobunaga could not withstand such a fierce offensive when he saw that the Four-Nation Alliance could maintain such a fierce offensive. After all, his troops were only 100,000. If he lost four or five thousand troops every day, his entire army would be wiped out in 20 days.


    But if this is the case, it would be pretty good.


    War is obviously not as simple as literally. Factors such as material consumption, soldiers'' physical fitness, morale, will, etc. will be directly fed back to the city guarding.


    When more than half of the army was injured or killed, the soldiers were exhausted, and the materials were scarce to defend the city, even if there were still 50,000 defenders in the city, they could not defend the city.


    After realizing this, Oda Nobunaga could no longer sit still. He didn''t want to sit still, but the last trump card he had left now was the 80,000 army in the four acropolis.


    Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to save it for critical moments to use it, but now it seems that he has to use it. If he doesn''t use it, he may not have a chance to use it. So Fei Ge sent a letter to the guards of the four acropolis, asking them to lead the troops to attack and cause some trouble for the enemy.


    Guo Jia had been prepared for this, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun''s cavalry troops were ready to go, waiting for the Oda army in the four acropolis to leave the city.


    Now that they have come out on their own initiative, can they still ask for it? They directly defeated them.


    Just as the offensive and defensive battles were underway on the seventh day, Gifu Castle, Oeun Castle, Nakono Castle and Inuyama Castle, the Oda Army in these four acropolis, led by the guards, left the city to fight at the same time, trying to cause trouble for the four-national coalition forces.


    But what everyone did not expect was that the two armies of Gifu Castle and Inuyama Castle were attacked by thousands of cavalry less than twenty miles away.


    The 20,000 army without any defense was directly defeated by the cavalry and was completely defeated by repeated crushing.


    During the pursuit, the two main generals were killed on the spot, and nearly half of the 40,000 troops were also injured and killed. All the remaining troops were captured, and they were then forced to attack Tokyo and act as cannon fodder, which instead replenished the coalition forces.


    After defeating two Japanese troops, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led their troops to seize the empty Gifu Castle and Inuyama Castle, seized a large amount of food and grass, which also reduced the logistics pressure of the coalition forces.


    The defenders in Daheng Castle and the Kono Castle, seeing that Gifu Castle and Inuyama Castle were easily annihilated by the enemy, were all shocked and hurriedly withdrew their troops and fled back to the city.


    This move did save their lives. If they were slowing down for a long time, they would face the same fate.


    Four acropolis, two were lost, and two were unable to retreat, which also made Oda Nobunaga''s last backhand lose its effect. He could only rely on the troops in his hands to continue to sit and wait for death and resist stubbornly.


    After another three days of fierce fighting, when the Tokyo offensive and defensive battle reached the tenth day, the Oda family had lost 50,000 troops, and only 50,000 defenders were left in Tokyo, and most of them were exhausted and their combat effectiveness had also dropped significantly.


    This also made Oda Nobunaga realize that his doomsday was coming and he began to become more and more crazy. He even reorganized the people in the city into the army. After only simple training, he forced them to the city tower to die.


    The strong men in Tokyo had long been summoned by Oda Nobunaga, and what they are recruiting now are just some old and weak. These old and weak obviously do not have much combat power, but if they have too many people and can operate equipment, they can still pose a threat to the coalition forces. After all, the army that sieges are not elite, but Japanese surrendered troops and new recruits.


    That is, after the tenth day, the casualties ratio in Tokyo''s offensive and defensive battles took an astonishing reversal.


    The coalition still suffered nearly 10,000 soldiers every day, but the Oda family lost more than 20,000 yuan a day, and the upward trend is still increasing, and more and more.


    Of the 20,000 people lost by the Oda family, only three or four thousand were regular soldiers, and the others were all civilians.


    After another four days of offensive and defensive battle, the people alone suffered a total of 100,000 casualties in Tokyo City, and the army even lost 15,000 troops, leaving only 35,000 defenders.


    In addition, the materials for defending the city were consumed severely. All the catapults on the city tower had been destroyed, the tincture oil had been consumed, and other materials for defending the city were consumed 70% to 80%.


    This is the most fatal thing for the Oda family.


    The city-defense materials prepared by Oda Nobunaga were enough for three months to use by a hundred thousand troops, but he never expected that the offensive of the Han coalition would be so fierce. Eighty percent of the materials were consumed in just fourteen days.


    From this we can also see how intense the Tokyo offensive and defensive battle is, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a meat grinder.


    The siege on the fifteenth day was different from the previous fourteen days, because the Han army would also participate on this day, and it was the elite army of the Hu Ben Army Jiefan Army.


    In the previous siege battles, although the coalition forces also participated, they were basically limited to the general level. Soldiers only had to operate ordn''t participate in the siege.


    This is naturally to reduce casualties, and at the same time, let the Japanese fight with the Japanese and bite the dog.


    But in the siege on the 15th day, the four-nation coalition not only dispatched Han troops, but also had elite battalions such as Hu Ben Jiefan.


    The senior coalition leaders obviously saw the weakness of Tokyo City, so they took the initiative to send Han troops with stronger combat power and morale to break through the city in one go and completely solve this big problem.


    "Send the order to let the soldiers work hard and attack the city without sealing the sword for seven days." Zhou Yu ordered with a cold face.


    Breaking the city without sealing the sword is equivalent to a massacre of the city. Slaughtering the city for seven consecutive days means slaughtering Tokyo City, which is the highest level among all the city-slaughter orders.


    As the imperial capital of the Japanese Empire, Tokyo City not only has a large population, but also has a lot of wealth.


    Seven days of not sealing the sword means that once you attack the city, will the gold, silver, jewelry, and women in the city be asked for?


    As soon as he thought of this, both the Qin army soldiers and the Japanese soldiers looked happy and shouted at the top of his throat to vent his excitement.


    After hearing Zhou Yu''s words, Kenshi Uesugi''s face turned pale. He couldn''t believe that Zhou Yu would give such a cruel order.


    She was about to rush up to argue with Zhou Yu, but was forcibly stopped by Xue Likan.


    Kenshin Uesugi glared at Tachibana Suzuki, but Tachibana Suzuki shook his head at her with a serious face, and then pointed to Mori Motoki, Otomo Yoshito and others on the side.


    Seeing that they were all happy, Kenshin Uesugi''s face suddenly turned paler and understood Tachibana''s intention.


    If she stood up now and sang against Zhou Yu, she would not only offend the Qin army, but also offend most of the Qin army, and she would even have to join them.


    As soon as he thought of this, Kenshi Uesugi felt that the world was dark and the only light in his eyes completely dimmed.


    At the same time, Sun Ce, Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Guangyi also issued the same order.


    Obviously, the massacre of the city after the capture of Tokyo was not the decision of Zhou Yu alone, nor the order issued by Emperor Ying Hao of the Qin Dynasty, but the unanimous decision of the top leaders of the four-national coalition forces.


    Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Its status in the hearts of the Japanese is actually the same as that of the Shinto Palace, and it is a pillar-like existence.


    Now that the Shinto Palace has been destroyed, the Japanese still have the pillar of Tokyo City left in their hearts, so they will naturally break it.


    Only in this way can the Japanese people be completely broken and they can honestly kneel down and submit to the Han people''s rule.


    It is precisely based on this consideration that the top leaders of the Four-Nation Alliance unanimously decided to massacre the city after breaking through Tokyo, so as to deter all the Japanese and prevent them from rebelling against the Han people.


    On the city tower, when Oda Nobunaga saw outside the city and the Han army was also in the siege, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that his doomsday was coming.


    "kill…"


    More than one hundred thousand troops roared in unison, and shouts resounded throughout the sky.


    This time, it was not a siege between the east and west sides, but a simultaneous attack on all sides.


    Faced with the fierce attacks of more than 100,000 troops, Tokyo City, which was left with only 35,000 defenders, instantly doubled its pressure and began to become shaky.


    There are actually fifty thousand people on the city tower, including men, women, and elderly people. It is impossible to resist these people from the Qin Xiejun. If they resist the Han army, they are no different from killing them.


    Soon, some Han soldiers climbed the city tower and rushed into the crowd like hungry wolf pounced on food. One person easily killed more than a dozen strong men, and such examples were everywhere.


    For a moment, the entire Tokyo city was screaming.


    At noon, the Qin army took the lead in capturing the East Gate and, after annihilated all the defenders of the East Gate, were the first to attack the city.


    Following closely behind were the Wei army, then the Song army, and the Wu army ranked last.


    Since then, all four gates of Tokyo have been broken, and the Tatar Tower Sha officially began.


    After the coalition soldiers attacked the city, they immediately rushed to the streets, chopped people when they saw them, robbed property when they saw them, and raped women when they saw them, which made the whole of Tokyo miserable.


    After breaking into a mansion, five Qin Xiejun soldiers killed all the men in the family, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the mother and son hiding in the cabinet.


    They directly ignored the mother and son’s begging for mercy, and after beheading the child with one knife, they all rushed towards the collapsed mother of the child and began to take turns to commit violence.


    After venting, he hacked the child''s mother to death, then snatched all his property, preparing to continue looking for the next target, but as soon as he went out, he met two Qin soldiers.


    The Qin Xie Army soldier who had a ferocious face just now and was like a vicious tiger instantly turned into a docile cat. He didn''t fight back and scold him or say anything, but he also offered all the money he stolen.
