The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Launch an attack and take Hakata Town!"

It was exactly as Fujiwara imagined!

Under the blessing of "divine power", the slave soldiers, peasant soldiers, and warriors of Yamatai Kingdom roared and screamed, and launched a general attack on Hakata Town.

Nearly [-] troops attacked Hakata Town from east, south, and north.

Even Zhou Buyi couldn't help holding his breath at this moment, as if he had been slapped severely.

After all, the Yangzhou army has not been counterattacked when they came here.It's always been them who attack people.

But this time, what a shame!

In this siege battle, the rainy weather was not conducive to the siege at all.

Under such a harsh environment, both the Yangzhou Army and the Yamatai Army were greatly reduced in their strength in this battle.

Among them, the siege side is even worse.

When Gan Ning arrived at the city wall, he did not know how many siege soldiers had already slipped and fell to the ground due to the accumulation of rain and mud during the charge, with noses and faces swollen.

It was pouring rain.

Attacking the city at this time is like kicking the head by a donkey.

When the scouts in the army reported to Owa Fujiwara, they mentioned a weakness of Hakata Town.

A corner of the southern city wall collapsed under the heavy rain.

This is a great time.

However, Fujiwara did not give the order to continue the offensive.

Why?

Because the soldiers of Yamatai Kingdom are about to be unable to hold on—even Fujiwara, who is wearing a coir raincoat, feels stiff after driving for an hour in this cold and heavy rain, let alone those peasant soldiers who are still charging and wearing thin clothes ?

"Damn weather!"

Sighing secretly, Fujiwara decisively ordered the entire army to retreat.

It's fine if Her Majesty doesn't understand, Fujiwara came to feel it personally, today is not suitable for attacking the city, if they don't retreat, and the Han army rushes out, they will be unlucky.

He knew that it would be impossible to subdue Hakata Town today, firstly because of the strength of the Han army, and secondly, the weather could not give full play to the advantages of high morale.

Wars cannot be won with high morale, and many factors must be considered.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After the messenger gave the order, nearly [-] Yamatai soldiers withdrew almost at the same time, which made the Han army in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

Fighting in this kind of ghost weather, even the range of crossbow arrows is halved, which is not easy to fight.

"General Gan, the last general begs to lead the army to pursue."

Seeing the enemy's retreat, Ding Feng felt a little unwilling, and quickly came to Gan Ning to express his wishes.

But the warlike Gan Ning shook his head after hearing this, and said calmly, "Don't chase after the poor."

Ding Feng knew very well that Gan Ning was definitely not afraid of Fujiwara, let alone the army of Yamatai.

It's just that Gan Ning is more sympathetic to his subordinates, knowing that this kind of weather is not conducive to fierce battles.

They are guest troops who have come from afar, and the supply line is unknown now.Once in battle, it would be a disaster if the cold invaded the body of the soldiers under the command and caused them to get sick.

In Yamatai, it is more difficult to get food, let alone more precious medicinal materials?

Which is more important, Gan Ning can see clearly.The soldiers under his command can die in battle, but dying of illness is too useless.

Ever since, after less than half an hour of melee, the two sides tacitly chose to strike.

Fujiwara resolutely disobeyed Himiko's order to retreat, and Gan Ning wisely did not go out of the city to pursue him.

In today's entire siege battle, the enemy is aggressive and looks fierce, but in fact, it seems a bit anticlimactic.

But there is no way, the heavy rain is really not conducive to combat.

During the retreat, the samurai were still fighting high. Although they understood Fujiwara's concerns, there were inevitably some gaps.

In response to this problem, Fujiwara stepped forward to appease him:

"Although our army has not done its best this time, it has already made the Han people deeply aware of our determination to defend our family and our country."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The typhoon has lasted for three days, which means that Gan Ning lost contact with the sea fleet for three days.

On the fourth day, when the wind and waves calmed down a bit, the news came.

In this storm, the Bohai Fleet lost [-] large ships, and the Chishui Army was in a better situation, losing [-] ships.

Casualties were less than a hundred.

The reason for this situation is that when the typhoon came, the fleet had already docked on Tsushima Island.

It is a pity that Tsushima has suitable bays for docking, but no complete docks have been built.

When the wind and waves came, the mere ropes could not hold the big ship at all.
