Samurai of the Takeda Family

Just when Iwasaki Castle Tengumaru was fighting fiercely.

　　The general general of the Echigo Army, Uesugi Kenshin, and Usami Masami, Naoe Mizuna, Saito Asanobu and other generals, rode their horses to the south of Iwasaki Castle, near the Azumagawa side.

　　 Looking up from here, you can clearly see Iwagaki Castle, the Midtown between Tengumaru and Ninomaru, with a cliff on its back, and the terrain is very dangerous.

　　 Kenshin Uesugi pointed his horse whip upwards, and said to the generals on the left and right: "This is the well tower used to fetch water from Iwasaki Castle."

　　 Looking at what Uesugi Kenshin pointed out, everyone saw that, leaning on the back of Iwasaki Castle Honmaru, five or six wells were built directly leading to the Azumagawa River.

The overall structure of the 　　jing building is mostly stretched beyond the cliff, with a roof made of grass mud on the top, and a fence underneath. Four wooden pillars are spliced ​​and fixed, and they are directly extended into the river as a support. There is a winch in the center of the well, which is used to fetch water from the Azuma River.

　　The generals did not understand what Uesugi Kenshin meant by bringing them here.

　　 Only Usami smiled and said, "Master, do you want to destroy this well and cut off the water source of Iwasaki Castle?"

Kenshin Uesugi nodded and smiled: "Yes, according to the reports from the ninjas, the place where Iwasaki takes water, except for a well in Tengumaru, is here. If the water supply to Iwasaki can be cut off, the Takeda army will definitely have the heart. The chaos will fall without a fight."

At this time Saito Chaoxin asked, "But lord, how do you destroy this well? You must know that the river is wide enough, beyond the range of our army’s bows and arrows, and the river is very turbulent. impossible."

　　 Saito Chaoxin’s words caused everyone to nod their heads. Back then, the builders built the wells here, and they had already considered it, otherwise it would be so easy to be destroyed by people, and the city’s water supply would be cut off.

　　 Uesugi Kenshin nodded, and said to Usami, "Suru-sama, I'm afraid there is a way."

Usami nodded fully and said: "It should be coincident with the lord. As Master Saito said, the water here is so fast that we can just pile up bamboo rafts upstream, and then take advantage of the momentum of the current to put it down. Use a bamboo raft to destroy this well building."

　　 Uesugi Kenshin nodded, and said, "Yes."

　　 The audience will hear Uesugi Kenshin, and Usami is full to say so, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

"As long as the water source can be cut off, the city of Yanqi will be broken in these few days. Why did our army bother to attack the city? According to me, Lord Sabe, Lord Zhongjo, it's uncomfortable at this moment, just listen to it. With the constant sound of iron cannons, we know that their casualties are not small today." Saito Chaoxin said in a deep voice.

"No," Kenshin Uesugi waved his hand and said, "There is white snow in winter, and rain in summer. My Huihu, I will not place all hopes of success on the destiny. Sabe, Nakajo , Their siege will not stop."

　　 Seeing that Uesugi Kenshin's opinion was so firm, the generals cried out to show their obedience.

　　 Iwasui Castle’s cage battle has entered the afternoon, and it is now in Iwasui Castle Tengu Maru.

　　Hu!

　　 Baba Masamaki was panting, he had just sought the head of an Echigo samurai. In the fierce battle just now, if the opponent was not negligent, it would be him who was lying down now.

This was a **** fierce battle. Now the corpses of the Takeda Army and the Echigo Army lay all over the side of the big hand gate. At first they were transported and towed away, but as the fierce fighting continued, no one was doing this job. .

The offensive of the Echigo Army was wave after wave. Although there were iron cannons on the curved wheels of Ninomaru and Tengumaru, and bows and arrows, the Echigo Army continued to have two or three people, five or six under the cover of the shield. People, more than a dozen people smashed into Tenguwan.

　　 Although relying on the absolute strength of the Otemon Gate, the Takeda Army has repelled at least a dozen attacks from the Echigo Army, but the casualties on the Takeda Army’s side have also increased.

　　 Now in the hands of the Great Gate, the Echihou Army's iron cannon is light enough, and the iron cannon is mounted on the top of the baffle, and at a distance, it blasts the Takeda Army's iron artillery team outside the Great Gate.

The same Takeda Army’s iron artillery team was not to be outdone. They simply used the Echihou Army’s corpses piled up like a hill and used it as a shelter, hiding behind the Echihou Army’s iron artillery team in the big hand gate. shooting.

　　 The roar of iron cannons continued, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

　　 ahem! cough!

　　 Baba Changfang accidentally inhaled, the gunpowder smelled of gunpowder, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

　　 Looking from his angle, I saw fire snakes constantly vomiting from the muzzle of the iron cannon in the dimly-lit door of the big hand. After each round of the Etsuhou Army's iron cannons fired lightly, there would be a second row of iron cannons lightly followed, and the iron cannons were set up on the baffle to keep the firepower uninterrupted, and the roar was deafening for a while.

　　The Takeda Army’s iron cannon team and the Echigo iron cannon team are fiercely shooting each other. From time to time, the Takeda iron cannon that has been shot lie down, and the empty projectiles hit the gravel everywhere.

　　 Now the Echigo Army is advancing step by step, and has established an offensive support position in the main gate.

　　 The Takeda Army is only trying to support it. The horse farm Changbo who was stationed here at Otemon Gate, Bao Ke Zheng has received a wave of support, but has suffered more than half of the casualties and paid the price of more than 60 people.

　　 Looking at the exhausted Takeda sergeants all around, Baba Masabo realized that it seemed that the Otemon position of the Takeda Army Tengumaru was about to fall. I am afraid he is going to be buried here today?

　　Baba Changfang couldn't help thinking back to the past, remembering that he had been planted by Masabe Tobe, and was unjustly expelled from Lord Shingen's banner team. Later, he was angry with his father and came to His Royal Highness to serve as his foot commander.

　　 When he did this, he didn't want to borrow the prestige of his father's horse farm letter house, to make some achievements alone to prove his strength, and then return home to laugh at those who had mocked him at the beginning, and finally inherit the horse farm family business in a righteous manner.

　　 But everything in front of me is going to dissipate?

　　What ambitions, ambitions, the Uesugi family's 17,000-strong army is now surrounded here, and it is hard to escape with their wings. Even if you continue to fight and live for a few more days, won't it be the same in the end? My horse farm Changfang will eventually become the laughing stock of others.

　　 Since this is the case, it would be better to serve Lord Shenglai on the spot. My father, I'll go ahead with Changfang.

　　 Just as Machang Mahogany thought this way, at this time came the military order issued by Li Xiao from Ninomaru, ordering Machang Machang and Baoke Majima to retreat immediately.

　　 Master Li Xiao, what are you thinking about? At this time, don't you want to let it go and save your military strength? Machang Changfang couldn't help but be puzzled.

　　 But Bao Kezheng breathed a sigh of relief. He obviously didn't have the consciousness of being killed here. Bao Kezheng immediately sent people to give orders to the iron cannon Zuqian and Yuqian who were still shooting at the narrow spaces on both sides of Tengumaru, and told them to retreat first.

　　 The siege troops under Iwagaki Castle are on the hills of the main formation.

　　 Sebe Masanaga stared at the fiercely fighting Iwasaki Castle Tengumaru with a red face. Up to now, he and Fujisuke Nakajo have suffered 400 casualties.

　　Although he was prepared for sacrifice, the number still exceeded his expectations. Many of them were Echigo warriors and cronies who had followed him for many years. Even though they had paid such a heavy casualty price, Iwasaki Castle still showed no signs of being breached.

　　 Iwagaki Castle is so strong, the Takeda Army is equipped with so many iron cannons, and the Takeda Army’s determination to resist, all of these make him feel a headache.

　　 And Masaru Ikube didn't know that, on this day alone, the Takeda Army consumed one-third of the iron cannon ammunition and one-fourth of the arrows.

　　 If Tengu Maru cannot be broken today, then this would mean defeat for Masaru Sebe, so how can he explain to His Highness Huihu.

　　 Sebe Katsunaga almost grinds his teeth, and when he was extremely anxious, from the Tengumaru in Iwasaki Castle in the distance, cheers came from the sky!

　　 Is the city broken?

　　 Katsuhiro Sebe and Fujisuke Nakajo stood up and stared in the direction of Tengumaru in Iwasaki Castle. This was almost unbelievable news in their eyes.

　　 The envoy from the front line galloped back, and bowed down in front of Masaru Sebe with a smile of joy, and said, "Speak to Lord Sebe, Tengumaru was finally broken by our army."

　　 finally confirmed the news, Masanaga Sabe's face seemed to be ten years younger in an instant, changing from his previously depressed look.

　　 He said with high spirits: "Well, it's good, it's hard work, order the follow-up troops to station in Tengumaru, and we must not let the Takeda army counterattack and take it back."

"OK, got it."
