Samurai of the Takeda Family

The night sky above Beizhizhuang is dim and unclear]

It's early spring, the days are short and the nights are long

This is when the night is at its strongest, and the East has not yet revealed the whiteness of the fish belly.

It's also the time when people are most tired

On the artillery fort on the east side of the city, the big cannons slowly removed the cannon jacket that was used as a cover, exposing the muzzle of a black hole.

Rui Costa, wearing leather gloves, uses a monocular telescope to look at the direction of Kitanoshuang Castle.

In the direction of the gate of Beizhizhuang City, there are a few torches lonely

The Shibata army patrolling the city was light enough. Under the five-month siege, they just leaned listlessly on the edge of the city, sighing and warming their hands, without any intention of being vigilant.

Moreover, at this time of dawn, it is the most drowsy moment of people. The guard of the entire northern village has been placed at the lowest level.

Rui Costa put the monocular telescope down, reached into his arms and took out his brass pocket watch

Open the cover, in the silence, you can hear the hands ticking, and they are about to overlap on the Roman numeral of five.

"Filled cannonballs, any cannon, prepare for three rounds of rapid fire"

Rui Costa’s voice rang lowly

At the same time, in a place not far underground

Hashiba Hidenaga is full of feet, squatting halfway on the black soil, and the samurai and Zuqing around him are holding torches.

Grease drips from the torch

Yu Chai Xiu stared at the deep hole with long eyes, which was faintly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

At this time, an envoy with a small flag rushed in and reported to Yuchai Xiuchang: "Master Yuchai, the lord's order is ready to be prepared."

Hashiba Xiuchang nodded, and took the torch from the samurai beside him, and pointed it towards the cotton and twine on the ground.

Just listen to the sizzling sound, the flames lightly ignite, and follow the long line into the cave

All around were light, the samurai evacuated Hidenaga Hashiba from around the entrance of the cave. After checking, the last one left.

Suddenly, Rui Costa on the gun base put his pocket watch neatly together, raised his right hand to the sky, and waved it down: "Fire."

boom

boom

The Takeda Army mainly built the eight artillery fortifications on the east and south sides of the city. Almost at the same time, they roared like the sky and the earth.

The roar of the shells was deafening, and the ground began to shake gently.

The cannonballs roared and mixed with the sound of breaking wind, and after drawing an arc in the sky above the northern village, they smashed down heavily in the northern village.

Shaking

Shibata Shengjia almost woke up suddenly

(Years of experience in battlefield battles) made Shibata Katsushita almost no hesitation for a moment, that is, he jumped out of the bed and pulled out the samurai sword under the pillow in his hand.

In the room, the naked Shibata Katsumi looks like a chimpanzee. The countless black hairs on his chest only cover his lower body with a loincloth. In the bedding next to him, Ah Shi is naked with the ketone body of white flowers. At a loss

In the deafening sound of cannons, the maids of Owari Mino screamed in panic in the castle tower, and there was a chaotic and rapid footsteps everywhere.

This scene is really frightening

But Shibata Katsushika is a veteran of the battlefield after all. By shining the light of the sword, he made a lot of peace of mind for a while.

With the swaying oil lamp, Shibata Katsura saw that the castle pavilion was swaying a bit, and the sawdust was sprinkled from the top pavilion.

At this time, Shibata’s katsuya approached the samurai, pushed open the paper door and knelt on the ground with a thump, and reported to Shibata’s katsuya: "Master, the Takeda army suddenly shelled, and there was a shell that seemed to hit the castle tower. Please also evacuate Honmaru."

Hearing this news, A Shi Leng did not let out an exclamation, looked helplessly at Shibata Katsura and said: "Husband"

Shibata Katsuya rubbed Ashi’s shoulder, and said in a deep voice, “What are you afraid of? Although the gunfire of the Takeda Army is fierce, but there are not many barrels that can reach the castle tower. , It will only add danger to the order. If anyone walks around randomly, screams in shock, and disturbs the military's mind, they will be killed on the spot."

"Oh"

After listening to the samurai approaching, he immediately led his orders

Soon after, between the castle towers, in the midst of this suppression, quieted down

After comforting Ashi, Shibata Shengjia raised his sword and stepped forward, pushing open the window pane, and saw the Takeda gun base facing the castle tower.

The big tube roared, and in the night, the flames spewed from the muzzle were like small flowers blooming suddenly.

Soon after, another cannonball roared.

Among the Honmaru, Shibata Army guarding the castle tower is light, holding the formation, and evading the cannonballs in embarrassment.

Shibata's face was constant, staring straight at the gun base in front of him

boom

The cannonball that hit Honmaru finally fell, and smashed into a room near Honmaru.

There was smoke and dust, and suddenly this room collapsed in half.

Shibata snorted coldly, raised his knife at the still roaring barrel of the Takeda Army, and shouted loudly: "With this barrel, my city defense cannot be broken, Li Xiao, my Shibata's martial arts are protected by Hachiman Daimyojin, why can't you help me? Below Beizhizhuang Castle is your graveyard."

Ijiro squatting in the tunnel, above his head, cannonballs roared by.

Every time a cannonball hits the ground, Jingjirou can feel the light shaking of the big tube from his feet.

Ijiro nervously took out the bamboo tube beside him, leaned close to his mouth and swallowed

But the shaking of the arm caused most of the water on the bamboo tube to spill

Now is the time of the day and night, the dew penetrates the feet, and the whole body is cold.

But now Jingjiro can't feel it at all, just squatting in the tunnel with the bamboo spear in both hands

Along with Ijiro, there are countless of his fellow villagers, all of them are just like him at the moment, squatting in the tunnel, staring straight ahead.

Rows of erected bamboo guns have dew drops on the tips of the guns, trembling and quickly sliding off the blades of the guns.

And at this moment, the samurai master Nojiri Yuichi, had pulled out the sword from his waist, and screamed at them: "Prepare."

Listening to Nojirio's call, Ijiro reflexively straightened up from the tunnel, chanting words in his mouth and praying to the gods and Buddha for blessings.

At this moment he thought of his mother and his wife

Among the footholds beside Ijiro, countless people performed the same actions as him, and many others converted to Catholicism. They silently crossed their chests and kissed the ones hanging on their necks. cross

"Stay steady"

Nojiri Yuichi yelled again, only to hear a rushing sound, the front, back, left, and right of Ijiro were all large swaths of gunpoint pressed brightly, shaking gently in the breeze.

At this moment, Ijiro held his breath, pushing his right leg back in the soil like a tense bowstring. Under the array, in the horizon parallel to the horizon, it was the castle wall of Kitanosho Castle.

Boom

Suddenly, Jingjiro was unsteady and almost sat down on the ground.

Amidst the artillery fire, there has been an abnormal change in Kitazhizhuang City

Under the night sky, countless sand powder and stones rushed into the sky for a moment

This is the direction north of Kitanosho Castle

In an instant, the three sections of the city wall with a length of more than ten meters on the north side of Beizhizhuang City and a stone arrow scull all turned into gravel, scattered all over the sky, and sent to the sky.

The sand and rocks falling all over the sky slammed on the feet of Yu Chai Xiu's long foot, making a long and detailed sound.

Seeing this, Yu Chai Xiu-naga slammed his fist heavily and smashed into the mud in front of him.

Suddenly, Yu Chai Xiuchang turned his head and shouted: "What are you waiting for to blow me the horn?"

"The blasting of Tulong Attack was successful"

Shigang Yiyu reported to Li Xiao

Li Xiao has already seen everything from the monocular

At this moment, as the shelling progressed, the sky had begun to light up, and the field of vision was gradually clear.

Li Xiao's face didn't have much joy, and he said: "It's not worthy to be happy about the explosive gunpowder, but all the family members of this legion."

Suddenly, the snail horns whispered to the ground, ringing from all sides

In each place, there is a similar scene. Before the position, the katana in the hand of the general Takeda army dropped and pointed straight at Kitanosho Castle.

In the dark, behind this general, countless foot lights suddenly gush out

Like the flood of a sluice gate, the sky screamed for killing and surrounded the city of North Zhuang

The Takeda Army launched a general offensive from the four sides of the city to the north of Sho Castle.

The crowd is raging, and in the cold night, naginata and spears form a jungle, the crowd can't see the end at a glance, and all sides are surging.

The artillery fire of the Takeda Army has not stopped, and it has moved closer to the rear.

...

"What? Li Xiao attacked Antu City?"

Oda Nobuya has a problem with a lazy bed, so if there is no assessment and important matters, he has to sleep every day.

Oda Shintazu sat up from the bed, and saw the bright sunlight outside the window panes falling into the room through the paper.

The intelligence of the Oda family moved quickly, but within two hours, the intelligence of Li Xiao’s fierce attack on the northern village was sent to Oda Nobuada’s hands.

Oda Nobuya read the letter paper repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "I thought that Li Xiao gathered heavy troops under the city of Beizhizhuang in order to encircle and lure our troops to go north, and then annihilate them."

"At the moment, it seems that he really intends to be in the north of Zhuangcheng."

At this time, the outside of the door reported to him: "Master, Soren, two adults, Kajiri, please see you outside the door."

"Hurry up"

Oda Nobuyuki

The paper sliding door was pushed open, and Akechi Mitsuhide and Kawajiri Hidetaka walked directly into Oda Shinta’s room.

"My lord, do you know the battle situation in North Zhuangcheng?" Akechi Mitsuhide said impatiently

Oda Nobuya nodded and said, "I see, what do you think?"

Achievement Mitsuhide immediately said: "I think Li Xiao's intention to attack Beizhizhuang City now is to capture Beizhizhuang City as much as possible before the main force of his family arrives, so as to avoid the situation of internal and external enemies."

Oda Nobuya faithfully said: "I think so too"

"So now, we must send troops immediately" Akechi Mitsuhide said directly

Kawajiri Hidetaka immediately stood aside and said, "But under Azuchi Castle, half of the military power of the rich and powerful lords everywhere has yet to arrive."

Akechi Mitsuhide glared at Kawajiri Hidetaka, stood down with his sleeves, and shouted condescendingly, "This is a moment of time, so I can't take care of it."

Kawajiri Hidetaka didn't expect that Akechi Mitsuhide's anger would come to this point, and he didn't know how to react at the moment.

Nobuya Oda looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, nodded, and said: "That's right, the order will go out immediately to reinforce Kita no Shojo."

...

Behind the curved wheel of Kitanosho Castle

Sakuma Mori Masa, holding the sword in his hand, paced slowly left and right

He used the tip of a riding whip, the pocket on his forehead, and opened his eyes to look

In the light of the early morning, countless people on the opposite side were shaking

The Takeda Army’s attack lineup, like a tide, wave after wave

Its military strength is like endless, almost endless

"Crazy, crazy, in my life, I have never seen such a tactic for siege," Sakuma Mori Masaru said blushingly. Not so, Li Xiao’s genius is really incredible, I can’t understand it.”

In front of the endless crowds of the Takeda Army, Morima Sakuma seemed to feel a kind of helpless loneliness

At this time, Morimasa Sakuma stood still, waved his whip, and shouted: "The bow feet are light, the iron cannons are light enough for me, don't aim, shoot directly."

After issuing the order, Moramasa Sakuma solemnly said: "Takeda Army is determined. If you want to hit the gap in the blasting, I must hold on here."

Just when Moramasa Sakuma drew out the sword

Before the Takeda army, the iron cannon is ready

The Takeda Army’s iron cannons are light, and Qi Ran half-kneeled on the ground while running, and shot a row of volleys against the curved wheels on the head of the city.

The Shibata army, who was preparing to shoot with bows and arrows, and fired with iron cannons, was so light that he couldn't avoid it, just like dumplings, planted from the top of the city.

"Bastard give me a counterattack"

Sakuma Shengzheng shouted

Holding a bamboo spear, Ijiro ran stride among the crowds

There is nothing in his mind now

The heart is beating like a huge drum, and the legs are just running involuntarily

The fellow villagers beside them all looked grim and shouted something madly.

It’s just that Ijiro’s head is misty, and he can’t hear clearly, only remembers the faces, flying by in front of his eyes.

He just stared at ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ a gap in the city wall where sand and rocks fell

Run, go forward!

And Shibata Army opened fire

Ijiro watched an arrow fly by, directly penetrating the body beside him

Then there was another person, his forehead was blasted away by the iron cannon ball, and he fell straight down.

Ijiro felt that before Shibata’s shooting, the progress of the people around him was slightly stagnant.

But at this moment, Nojiri ran up with a swing of the sword, showing his big yellow teeth, and shouted loudly in front of everyone.

Just two sentences come and go, repeat and repeat

"You must die, you live, if you live, you die"

The meaning of this sentence, Nojiri Yuichi once explained, in the vernacular, it means a place where corpses stand on the battlefield. Those who have the heart of death will live, and those who fear death will die. To be continued)
