With Yoshinaga's appearance, the morale of the Ogasawara army was high, and the Hachimoto samurai troops, which had been used as a backdrop, were dispatched.

The Banner Samurai is an elite samurai unit directly owned by Yoshinaga, and the most of the Banner Samurai is a 200 stone territory, and the least is a 50 stone stone territory.

They were all equipped with well-equipped belly roll armor, and depending on their weapons, they were divided into spear samurai, iron cannon samurai, bow samurai, and notai sword samurai.

The spear warrior was the most numerous, one hundred and twenty men, and he was more balanced in both offensive and defensive aspects, and the spear warrior corps could resist cavalry charges.

The Iron Cannon Samurai Corps was not very numerous, only ninety people, and the main thing was fire suppression.

The bow samurai team mainly made up for the firepower of the iron cannon samurai, and when the iron cannon samurai changed ammunition, the firepower was replenished, and the number was only fifty.

The Notai Sword Samurai Team was the time to break through during hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat, and these Notai Sword Samurai were all samurai with strong martial arts, with only thirty people.

This is the most cutting-edge combat power under the command of Yoshina, and the number is only 290 people.

However, there were other troops close to the head of the city, and the number of them was four or five hundred, and these were all troops that were mobilized by the head of the army himself.

A little worse than these is more than 4,000 standing reserves, a total of nine reserves, and nine people designated by the chief to manage these nine reserves.

One of these reserves was Miki Otsuki, and the number was only half of the others.

The other eight teams are Sanada Reserve, Kamizu Reserve, Iwashita Ryotsu Reserve, Yatsu Reserve, Yazaki Reserve, Uehara Reserve, and Shimizu Reserve.

Yoshicho drove his horse to the front of the military formation, and he raised his ten-character gun and said, "Everyone, cheer, let the heroes of the world know today the prestige of my Shinano and Mino samurai!"

Today, I will personally fall into battle, and I will break Akutagawa Castle, and if I don't break this city, no one will be allowed to retreat! Array, attack! ”

"Woo woo woo~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Hey, hey! Roar! ”

Conch and drums sounded, and the various units of the Ogasawara Army began to move.

The first to go out was Sanada Nobutsuna, who was wearing red armor and carrying the red banner of the Sanada family's six mon money, he held a red gun, and shouted: "Sanada team, attack!" ”

"Oh!"

"Attack!"

Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru raised his weapon and said, "Warriors of the Sanada family! Fight your way to the enemy! ”

Haruhara's Sosaemon drew his sword and yelled, "Kill! ”

A group of Sanada retainers cheered up their own ashigaru, and they were divided into several detachments, and the detachments were separated by a distance of three meters wide, and the distance between the squads was one meter.

In this way, even if the defenders of Akutagawa Castle opened fire, they would hit the limited Ashigaru troops.

After the Sanada team charged, Iwashita Ryu and Iwasita Kiyoshi led their respective reserves to charge on both sides of the Sanada team.

After that, it was the banner troops led by Yoshichang and the people who were close to him.

Behind is the rest of the reserve team to follow, and the entire large array is approaching Akutagawa Castle in a triangular formation.

Yoshicho personally went down, Miyoshi Changqing didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately let the two younger brothers go to the front line to command the battle, and he checked the situation in Honmaru and adjusted it at any time.

At this moment, Matsunaga Hideshi was on the outer pill city wall, and he studied firearms more, so Miyoshi Chokei asked him to command the national collapse troops.

Matsunaga Hideki looked at the approaching Ogasawara army, and at the same time he could see Yoshinaga on horseback.

He touched his short beard, and said angrily: "Idiot, see if I don't blow you up today!" ”

He looked back at his subordinates and said, "I saw the big banner and horse seal of the enemy army, wait for them to get close before fighting, and now I am not in a hurry to do it." ”

The subordinate nodded, and hurriedly asked his subordinate to reload his ammunition.

However, the artillery in Matsunaga Xiu's hand is the Franc cannon eliminated by the Southern Barbarians, and the Franco cannon is a rear-loading smoothbore gun, but the air tightness is not too high, and the air tightness is not enough, which will affect the power and range.

At this time, Yoshinaga led the team to Akutagawa Castle two hundred paces.

Some of the countrymen and Miyoshi's retainers who were watching in the Honmaru said anxiously: "This is only one hundred and eighty paces away, what is Matsunaga doing, why don't you attack yet?" ”

"Lord, it can't be that Matsunaga is scared, right?"

"Lord, it's not a way to go on like this..."

"Boom..."

The cannon sounded!

Matsunaga finally opened fire, and he was waiting for Yoshinaga's Chinese army to come into effective range.

Several projectiles landed near the Righteous Chief's team or smashed into the array.

When the cannonball smashed into the earth, it splashed a man-high amount of dust, and the nearby samurai received a blow and was flipped to the ground, two samurai spat blood from their mouths, and one samurai struggled for a while, and died with a painful face, followed by seven orifice bleeding.

In this round, more than a dozen samurai were wounded and four were killed in battle, but Yoshinaga was unscathed.

Yoshidai was annoyed and shouted, "Let Miki take action!" ”

A horse turned his horse's head and rushed to Miki's reserve and shouted: "Big barrel, the lord has an order, bombard the other party!" ”

Miki immediately replied: "Your Majesty obeys the order!" ”

After he answered, he hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Prepare for the collapse of the country!" Check the collapse of the country, hurry up and be ashamed of the lord! ”

Miki personally stayed behind to guide the Kunagami team, and as for the big iron artillery team and the big barrel team, they continued to advance.

Soon, several guns were filled, this is a front-loading smoothbore gun, compared to the Furlong cannon, the rate of fire is relatively slow, it takes about six minutes to shoot a shot, but the airtightness is better than the Furlong cannon.

As soon as Miki saw that the country was filled, he waved his saber and said, "Open the cannon!" ”

"Boom, boom..."

Several projectiles hit the arrow turret on the wall of Akutagawa Castle, which was made of wood, and although it was hardwood, it could not withstand the blow, and was directly hit by the projectile into a hole.

The wooden pole on the arrow oar was also shattered, and the ashigaru who was hiding behind was shot and shattered, and several ashigaru around were affected, and the closer ashigaru was knocked away by the impact and fell to the ground, and the ashigaru who was a little farther away hurriedly held his head with both hands to protect himself from being injured by something.

The arrow oar was broken, and the samurai who was in charge of guarding the area hurriedly shouted: "Come over a few people, take the wooden tree and guard it!" Fast! ”

When Matsunaga Shu saw his own broken arrows, his heart was a little frightened, and he hurriedly urged his subordinates: "Continue to attack, attack towards the location of the enemy's commander-in-chief!"

Iron artillery troops ready! Let the troops guarding the slope outside the city defend against the enemy's iron artillery troops! ”

Soon, Akutagawa Castle opened fire again, bombarding the place where Yoshicho was, and one of the projectiles fell three steps in front of Yoshinaga, frightening Yoshinaga's war horse under his crotch to stand high, Yoshicho was careless for a while, and fell off the horse.

"Lord!"

"General!"

The righteous chief who fell off the horse immediately stood up and roared angrily: "Don't panic! Keep going, the opponent's weapon won't hurt me! Keep moving! ”

The samurai of the Chinese army immediately shouted for attack, which calmed down the surrounding Ogasawara army and continued to move forward.

Yoshinaga braved four rounds of shelling of Akutagawa Castle and rushed to the bottom of the slope of Akutagawa Castle, which was only forty steps away from the castle wall.

The hillside is not very slippery, but has the shape of a staircase, and there is a large road in the middle, which is now blocked by a wooden fence.

The flat ground on both sides of the ladder is guarded by a team of Miyoshi's guns, and if you want to attack them, you must crush them.

Sanada Nobutsuna is behind the ashigaru in the front row, and this batch of ashigaru is holding a wooden canopy.

Sanada Nobutsuna shouted: "Stop! Put down the wooden canopy, and the iron artillery troops step forward! ”

"Iron artillery troops, come forward!"

Dozens of ashigaru, who were armed with iron cannons, immediately rushed behind the wooden ashigaru and raised their iron cannons to aim at the enemy troops on the stairs.

Sanada Nobutsuna shouted, "Fire!" ”

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ahh

More than a dozen Ashigaru of the Miyoshi family fell down and screamed, and some were directly killed.

Sanada Nobutsuna shouted again: "Gunfoot light squad, go out of the battle, kill it!" ”

Immediately, a junior samurai shouted, "Rush forward!" Sine! ”

"Bang Bang..."

As soon as the two armies fought, the loudest sound was the sound of spears flapping against each other.

Sanada Nobutsuna saw that the other party was being dragged back, and immediately turned back to Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru and said, "Wakasa Mamoru, you lead people to destroy the wooden fence!" ”

Haruhara Wakasa Shou answered, and shouted back: "Come a team of people, take the big gavel and follow me!" ”

Immediately, a group of people appeared in the procession, following the wooden fence on the main road of Haruhara Wakasamomo, and several of them were holding large wooden mallets.

They walked all the way to the wooden fence, and several ashigaru immediately picked up large wooden mallets and pounded at the wooden fence.

The warriors of the defending army in the city immediately drew their swords and shouted: "Aim, shoot!" ”

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a burst of gunshots, and several Ashigaru with large mallets screamed and fell down.

At the same time, the wooden fence crackled.

"Boom..."

"Smack..."

The arrow that had just been shot was instantly hit by two projectiles.

Haruhara's Wakasa was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged his subordinates: "Quick! Keep smashing! ”

"Bang bang bang..."

A few ashigaru dropped their spears, picked up large wooden mallets and pounded the wooden fence, which was a little shaky.

Then several ashigaru hurriedly stepped forward to help shake it, and even some ashigaru went to dig up the soil underneath, but in a few moments, the first wooden fence broke through the gap.

The ashigaru, who had broken the wooden fence, raised their weapons and shouted with joy.

As a result, a burst of arrows fell from the castle tower, and more than a dozen ashigaru arrows fell, and Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru had to retreat.

Immediately after that, Haruhara, Sozaemon rushed up with people.

Yoshicho watched from behind, turned around and said, "What about the big iron cannon team and the big barrel team of Miki!" ”

A samurai hurriedly replied, "My lord, the big iron cannon team and the big barrel team have just been in place!" ”

"Let them break down the wooden fence on the road and clear the road!" Yoshicho said, pointing to the road.

Soon, the wooden fence on the main road was subjected to intensive fire, and the wood was broken in many places.

At this moment, the three good people on the ladder were so brave that they didn't dare to fight anymore and fled to the city one after another.

Yi Chang said happily: "Okay, the obstacles ahead have been cleared, and you will break the city with me!" He picked up a piece of wooden tree with iron sheets and rushed towards Akutagawa Castle.

Sanada and Iwashita pursued the remnants of the Miyoshi Army, and Yoshinaga led the Banner troops and the people from the flanks to rush to the uphill road.

When Matsunaga saw Yoshicho charging forward, he immediately shouted to the left and right, "Aim at that big man and shoot!" ”

The iron cannon of the defenders, Ashigaru, immediately fired en masse at the place where Yoshicho was.

Yichang took the wooden tree and hid behind the team, the projectile still hit his wooden tree, but fortunately, there was multiple protection, and Yichang was safe and sound.

After this round of iron cannon fighting, the team led by Yoshinaga had arrived at the foot of Akutagawa Castle.

Matsunaga Xiu suddenly panicked, and hurriedly called his subordinates to lead people to block the gate.

At this time, Shihe Yicun had already brought people to arrive.

Matsunaga Shu was immediately overjoyed, and he ran to the front of Tokawa Ichicun and said, "Tokawa Temple, the enemy's commander-in-chief, Ogasawara Shinanomori, has already attacked the city gate!" Capture the thief and capture the king first! ”

Shikawa listened to it, and he also had some expectations in his heart, as for how powerful the ghost Shinano was, he felt that he still had to fight to know, after all, it was Yasuei Shimizu who defeated him, not Yoshicho Ogasawara.

Shihe Yicun immediately gathered his men and set up a formation five steps behind the city gate.

Outside the city gate, Yoshinaga and several samurai picked up a tree trunk that only two people could hold together and slammed into the gate of Akutagawa Castle, and after hitting it seven or eight times in a row, they only heard a "click", and the gate latch broke directly, and the gate opened.

A few ashigaru who were originally in front of the city gate immediately fled behind, and Yoshicho saw the team of Ten Rivers and One Cun at a glance.

Seeing the righteous chief who stood out in the team, Shikawa Ichicun was overjoyed and said: "The person who came is Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru bar, in the lower Shikawa Ichicun ginseng, please advise!" ”

Yoshicho sneered: "Look at the gun!" ”

Yichang led his subordinates to rush into the city, and he brandished his spear and rushed to the front of Shihe Yicun, and stabbed him directly.

As soon as Shihe saved a slap from top to bottom, it was slightly oblique and hit the handle of the gun a little behind the head of the Shiji gun, directly blocking and opening Yoshina's attack.

Yoshicho hurriedly took a step back and withdrew the ten-character gun.

This time, the two spears pointed at each other, and Yoshicho attacked first, stabbing Shihe Yicun in the neck again, and Shihe Yicun also stabbed it, and blocked the shot and pushed it out a little.

Yoshicho hurriedly changed direction, raised his left hand, and swung the tail of the gun handle to smash it at Shihe Yicun, who also changed to block this blow.

Yoshicho hurriedly turned around, and the head of the gun stabbed down to Shihe Yicun's leg, which was easily dodged by Shihe Yicun, and Shihe Yicun immediately counterattacked, and a shot hit Yoshicho's heart guard, and Yoshicho took three steps back.

Yi Chang was shocked, and hurriedly took out his hand, and took out a short gun from his back and waist and pointed it at Shihe.

Shihe Yicun's face immediately changed, and he said angrily: "You don't talk about martial arts......"

"Bang!"

As soon as Shihe survived, he was immediately shot and fell.

Yoshicho hurriedly put away the short gun, pulled out his sword and cut off the head of Tokawa Ichizu, and shouted: "Tokawa Ichitsu has been taken by my Ogasawara Yoshinaga!" ”

The surrounding ashigaru looked at the head of the Ten Rivers and was so frightened that they took a few steps back, but as soon as they were distracted, they were killed by the elite Qiben and the people who were close to them.

The Ten Rivers team was instantly routed and retreated to the corridor.

The righteous elder shouted: "The wooden troops are in front, the iron artillery troops are ready, and the spear troops are pressing!" ”

The troops of the other righteous chief were about to pursue with wooden poles, when iron cannons appeared on both sides of the road, and Matsunaga shouted, "Shoot! ”

"Bang bang bang..."
