"… But let's put the matter of the bet aside for now. Kid, you need to focus. You're going to crusade against the rebels, how can you be distracted?"
In the first half of the conversation, Yang Rui was still praising Wako Uesugi. Later on, Yang Rui directly pointed out that Yang Rui wasn't serious. At this time, Yang Rui definitely couldn't accept the bet.
"Oh, Kid knows his mistake …"
Wako Uesugi pouted and consciously brought the identity of 'Kid' into the conversation. Even though she was dressed in martial attire, she still looked very impactful. Yang Rui was also attracted by her cuteness.
Next, the two of them chatted for a while. In order to prevent Wako Uesugi from going off topic, Yang Rui immediately told her the purpose of this visit.
"Kid, I hope to be able to help you this time. Although I brought a lot of troops, it's not appropriate to expose them too much. I'll leave these siege weapons for you to use for the time being. Let the troops come and attack Blackwater City.
At the same time, I'll stay near Blackwater City for a few days to see if there's a suitable opportunity to help Kid … "
Then, Yang Rui released the 100 heavy trebuchets, 40 large catapults, and all the small trebuchets from Sky City. Wako Uesugi's eyes lit up.
Wako Uesugi still had some understanding of Yang Rui's strength, but she didn't expect Yang Rui to be able to take out such a powerful and large number of siege weapons. Her understanding of Yang Rui increased by another step.
However, Wako Uesugi didn't know that these things were almost all of Yang Rui's possessions.
In fact, after Yang Rui obtained a Master Carpenter Scroll in the Outlander Tournament, he could immediately let Jiao Wen use it to reach the level of a Master Carpenter and meet the requirements to inherit the Mohist Legacy. It shouldn't be difficult to create all kinds of powerful siege weapons.
Perhaps the weapons and equipment that came with the Godly Mechanical Beasts and Godly Mechanical Men wouldn't be a problem either!
However, Jiao Wen was still in charge of the construction of the turrets, warships, and Bi 'an and couldn't leave for the time being. Therefore, he didn't have the time to use the Master Carpenter Scroll.
However, the siege weapons in Yang Rui's hands were enough for the time being, at least for the recent battle of Xu Province in the three civilizations region. Yang Rui had yet to discover who among the vassals had better siege weapons.
Otherwise, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian wouldn't have besieged Peng City for so long without being able to conquer it!
As Wako Uesugi's army was still in the process of marching, Yang Rui didn't have much time to chat with him. Especially after Yang Rui took out a large number of siege weapons, Wako Uesugi naturally immediately mobilized his troops to return and drag them away.
Yang Rui returned to Sky City. He went to the vicinity of Blackwater City to investigate and saw that Wako Uesugi's scouts were very skilled. It seemed that the child had more or less grasped the relevant information.
Moreover, although Kuroda Shuichi's forces in Blackwater City seemed to have received news of Wako Uesugi's crusade and had set up various defensive measures, they only knew to hole up and defend within the city. They didn't have any other arrangements.
Therefore, Yang Rui didn't have the need to remind Wako Uesugi at all. Together with Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, and the others, he quietly observed the movements of both sides in Sky City.
Zhang Ning, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, and the others had seen a lot of conflicts of this level. However, both sides were from the Japanese civilization. At this time, they observed the way they used troops, their fighting habits, and so on. Perhaps it would come in handy in the future.
However, the rhythm of the battle between the two sides was led astray by Wako Uesugi from the beginning. As Yang Rui supported a large number of siege weapons, Wako Uesugi didn't follow any routine. The moment he came up, he took up a stance and directly bombarded a certain part of Blackwater City's wall!
Blackwater City was a city with a long line of people. The Heavensguard Pavilion was located in the center of the city. It was somewhat similar to the ordinary cities in the Three Kingdoms civilization.
The moment Uesugi Kiddo came up, he unleashed a barrage of attacks, directly splitting a hole in the city wall. Then, he stopped his actions, causing both the attackers and the defenders of Blackwater City to temporarily fall into a state of silence.
Firstly, both the attackers and the defenders were amazed by the power of Uesugi Waz's siege weapons. Secondly, the discipline of Uesugi Waz's soldiers was very strong. Before they received the relevant orders, almost no one spoke.
Wako Uesugi's ability to command an army was once again demonstrated. And this temporary silence on the battlefield was extremely destructive. Almost at the same time. Two emotions of excitement and cowardice took root and sprouted in the attacking and defending camps.
It wasn't until a cup of tea's worth of time later that Wako Uesugi, dressed in martial attire, rode forward on his horse. The silence was finally broken.
"Why didn't the people in the city surrender earlier? Considering that you all once protected the Kingdom of Echigo together, I will forgive those who surrender. As for those who are stubborn, their fate will be like this city wall! I will give you all time to consider … … "
He waved his horsewhip and pointed towards Blackwater City. Rather lazily, even indifferently, he shouted a few words towards Blackwater City. Then, he gently pulled on the reins. He turned around and returned to the army formation.
Blackwater City immediately became a buzzing mess. Wako Uesugi's shout was quickly transmitted. Almost everyone began to whisper to each other. Outside Blackwater City, Wako Uesugi's soldiers still kept their mouths shut and remained silent.
"This kid is indeed extraordinary!"
The situation inside and outside Blackwater City naturally fell into the eyes of Yang Rui and the others in Sky City. Cheng Yu couldn't help but praise Wako Uesugi.
"Attacking the city with force is to display strength, and persuasion is to express benevolence. It can be said to be a two-pronged move, a move that combines strength and gentleness!
Look at this kid's strict formation, strict discipline, and hale and hearty spirit, powerful and restrained. This kid can be said to be leading a good army … … "
After hearing Cheng Yu's praise, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, and Yu Jin all nodded in agreement and praised Wako Uesugi.
While Kuroda Hidekazu's soldiers in the city were discussing, Wako Uesugi took the opportunity to set up camp.
"This kid is indeed amazing. Blackwater City has moats on all sides, and Kuroda Hidekazu's troops in the city have at least 100,000 people. The defense is really not low. This kid only occupies one side of the city to set up camp, which is really a wise move. It's also a secret plan to leave one side of the city open. It's the best choice!"
Cheng Yu didn't stop praising Wako Uesugi's military strategy. The more he looked, the more he approved.
