------------------------ ------

   With the sunrise, the fog on Iwasaki Castle became thinner. Li Xiao stood above the arrow scull of Ninomaru in Iwasaki Castle, and the shadows and shadows of the Echihou army in the distance were like mountains and seas.

   The Echihou army in the distance was mobilized one after another, and one after another Echihou siege troops were ready and waiting at the foot of the mountain. On the mountain road, another team of Etsuhou army attacking the mountain came, and the black flag behind them was like a dense forest, flapping and swinging.

   and located in front of Tengumaru under him, the Echigo Army was blocked by the Takeda Army Tengumaru and Ninomaru Upper Iron Cannon Bows and arrows, and was unable to move forward to attack the city for a while.

   This Iwagaki Castle is a typical Japanese-style mountain castle design. The frontal area that can be attacked is narrow. Even though the Echihou Army has 17,000 troops, the frontal force can be invested in a single attack, only forty or fifty people at most. Although the Echigo Army has endless fresh forces and backups, it is not so easy to want to win Iwasaki Castle for a while.

After    Ninomaru's Hazama, the sound of iron cannons kept beating.

  The iron cannon of the Takeda Army is light enough, holding the iron cannon in both hands, keeping his eyes closed. After each shot, the iron cannon immediately began to clear its chamber, carefully loading the gunpowder and projectiles, using a push rod to crush them, and installing the match rope.

  In this era, the iron cannon still has a certain degree of accuracy within a distance of 20 meters. No matter how far away, it will be completely by luck if it is 50 meters away.

   Therefore, in large-scale battles, iron cannons are used as platoon guns, and many people fire intensively together, replacing accuracy with coverage.

   Even two centuries later, during the American Revolution, the accuracy of muskets had not improved much. In the decisive battle between the British and American Continental Army, soldiers on both sides lined up, marching on drums, and then stood in a row, standing in a row as densely as wooden stakes, and holding muskets at each other.

   At this time, if you want to shoot, or not be shot, you can only rely on God to bless you.

   At the same time, the crude iron cannons of this era are also very easy to explode. Therefore, the iron cannons are very light. Before the war, they dare not conduct too much live ammunition training, which further reduces the accuracy of the iron cannon's light shooting.

   Therefore, before the Echihou Army attacked the city, Li Xiao specifically ordered the iron cannons to be used in turn to reduce the firing intensity of each iron cannon to prevent the emergence of a blast.

   Takeda Army From the narrow space of Ninomaru and Tengumaru, the iron cannon roars continuously, pressing the Echigo Army and unable to lift its head. And Yuzuqing was also unwilling to show weakness, and gave any Echigo soldiers who dared to expose themselves, and used bows and arrows to kill.

  On the way from the flares to Horikiri, where the soldiers of the Echihou Army lay their bodies.

   And Echigo Kinabata still cats his head, and together with Ono Rokurobei, hiding behind the shield.

   At this time, the Taiko drums of the Echihou Army were beaten again, and the iron cannons of the Echihou Army were lightly dispatched.

   At this time, the iron cannons of the Echihou Army under the city had already caught up. Dozens of people gathered in a row and took turns firing platoons of guns on the curved wheels of the Takeda Army.

  The projectiles of the iron cannon hit the stone wall, splashing light white ash, and making small craters.

   Although it did not cause any damage to the Takeda Army’s iron cannons, it suppressed the Takeda Army’s iron cannon shooting to a certain extent.

   "Come on!"

   Ono Rokuro Beibe shouted again, and dozens of Echigo rushed forward, carrying their bags on their backs.

   "Komashiro!"

   was taken aback at Jinpachi, and the Chika-worn Azuchi in front of him was his playmate, Kashiro, who grew up in the same village as him. Komashiro used to be a hunter before, so he stretched out his hand very well because he traveled through the mountains and forests all day.

   I saw Koshiro just walking a few steps, when the Takeda Army's iron cannon roared above his head, he was shocked, and then immediately retracted into the baffle beside him.

After   , Ono Rokuro Beibe kicked him out and cursed, "What is there to be afraid of? Echigo's face is shameless for you."

Kashiro bit his teeth and rushed forward desperately. With his vigorous skills in the mountains and forests, he avoided a few arrows from the Takeda family in one breath, and then he passed a foot-light corpse whose throat was shot through by a bow and arrow. , Picked up a soil bag, and then bravely buried his head and rushed forward.

"here you go!"

   Jinpachi had just cheered up this childhood friend when he heard the sound of an iron cannon.

   Koma Shiro was hit by an iron cannon ball through his chest, and fell to the ground limply.

   Jinpachi only felt his brain clouded at this time, and he collapsed to the ground with a shock. Since childhood, his playmate died in front of him like this.

   "Golden eight, come on."

   Ono Rokuro Bingbei looked back at Jinpachi's embarrassed appearance, and cursed, "A coward who hasn't been planted?"

   After speaking, he saw Ono Rokuro Hebei, and he rushed out of the baffle. Rokuro Ono, dressed in bright samurai armor, immediately attracted the attention of Takeda Army Ashikaru.

boom! boom!

   Two iron cannons rang, I saw Ono Rokuro Bingbei's body swayed, one iron cannon shot into the air, but the other shot hit the waist.

Rokuro Ono endured the severe pain, bit his teeth, rushed forward and picked up the soil bag that Koshiro had left behind, and then dashed forward, just three or four steps away from Horikiri. Noomaru shot an arrow and was shot through his armor from his back. Ono Rokuro Beibe shook his body and fell forward to the ground.

   Right now, Rokuro Ono was dead in battle, and Jinpachi knew that he could no longer stay here, otherwise he would be put to death in fear of fighting.

   He wiped his face with his hand, yelled ah, and strode forward. At this time, another wave of Echigo army rushed forward with dirt bags on his shoulders.

   Jin Ba mixed in the crowd, and people around him were hit by the Takeda Army’s iron cannons and bows and fell to the ground from time to time.

   He just rushed forward in one breath, staring directly at the bag of soil that Ono Rokuro had left behind. At this moment, Jinba was like a **** protecting him. No projectile came to him, just an arrow hitting his iron cannon-wrapped array, not penetrating through.

   Kinpachi finally picked up the soil bag left by Ono Rokuro Hebei and successfully threw it into Horikiri. There were also more than a dozen Echigo Azukis who successfully arrived and threw their soil bags into Horikiri. He saw that Horikiri was half filled, except for the front of the Otemon Gate, the bottom of the other Horikiri parts, with bamboo spears stuck upside down all over the floor.

   Jin Ba secretly rejoices, UU reading www. uukanshu.com began to run towards the place it came over, about a dozen paces away, when the Takeda Army fired another round of gunfire.

   The nearby Echihou's foot lightly fell down one after another, and Jinpachi immediately felt his right leg pierced, as if something had penetrated in, and it was aching fiercely. He finally threw himself on the ground, turned his head and looked back, only to see a blood hole in his right thigh, blood was pouring in.

   "I can't die here."

   Jin Bazhi felt tears in his eyes, and said such a sentence, for a moment he remembered his wife who was waiting at home.

   Jinba suddenly gave birth to a will to survive, and immediately stretched out one hand to cover his thigh, and one hand propped on the ground, crawling forward among the corpses.

   "There are still ten steps, no, there are eight steps."

   Jinba stared, and even though his vision was blurring, he murmured in his mouth.

   At this moment, another group of Echi hind feet lightly rushed up with dirt bags.

   After Jinpachi climbed back to the shroud, he only heard cheers from all around. Many Echigo soldiers yelled at the same time: "Horikiri is filled!"

   Jinba reluctantly smiled on his face, and finally passed out at a moment.

   At this time, a dozen or so members of the Echigo Army rushed towards the gate, holding the wooden stakes that lit the fire at the front.

  The iron cannon of the Takeda clan followed constant orders, and the iron cannon Zuqing fired at the Echigo Army Zuqing. One after another, there were projectiles that made Echigo lighter and fell to the ground.

  Even though the soldiers of the Echigo Army in the front continued to die in battle, the follow-up troops were still pouring in continuously. This endless combat power made the Takeda Army feel that a huge rock was pressed in their hearts. Even Li Xiao shook his head when he saw this.

   Echigoki, crossed the filled Horikiri, and slammed the burning Ogi toward the Takeda's Otemon Gate.
