Chapter Eighty-Five: The Moon Sets in the City

Mochizuki Nobuya's attempt to kill Kurihara Masaaki failed, and Mochizuki Nobuya, who was in a hurry, couldn't take care of his family, so he took his men to the city gate to assault.

But there were only a dozen of them, how could they be opponents of dozens of people, so Mochizuki Nobuya divided a few people to set fire to the city.

However, a samurai stood up and said, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to return to the residence hall to save my wife and my son!" ”

Mochizuki Nobuya choked up a little and said, "Zuobei, then please!" ”

Yamato Sabei paused and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will protect my wife and my son even if they give their lives." With that, he walked in the direction of the residence.

Mochizuki Nobuya turned around and said: "I still have a chance to wait, that is, to storm the city gate, as long as we kill at the gate of Waimaru Castle and receive the Murakami army outside the city to come in, Mochizuki City will be ours again!" ”

"Oh!"

The retainers responded to Nobuya Mochizuki's shout, and a group of people surrounded Nobuya Mochizuki and assaulted at the Honmaru Castle Gate.

The Honmaru guards are mainly in the area of the castle tower, and there are only two standing guards guarding the castle gates.

Nobuya Mochizuki arrived with someone and shouted, "I'm Nobuya Mochizuki, the lord of Mochizuki Castle, do you want to follow the Takeda family or my Mochizuki family?" ”

The two ashigaru immediately laid down their weapons and let the men of Nobuya Mochizuki open the gate and leave.

When Mochizuki Nobuya was leaving, he said, "If you two let us go, we will definitely be punished by Kurihara Masakiyo, a Kai person, so it's better to follow me, the lord." ”

The two standing ashigaru immediately picked up their spears and bowed to Nobuya Mochizuki, and left with them.

Kurihara Masaaki just explained the situation to Mochizuki Trust here, planning to let the Takeda Army of Nagawa City organize reinforcements in the next few days, but this is good, and suddenly the news of Mochizuki Nobuya's rebellion came.

According to the news, the rebellious Mochizuki Nobuya only had a dozen retainers in his hands, but as soon as he rebelled, it meant that the hearts of the people in the city were scattered.

Kurihara Masakiyo decided to prepare with both hands, after all, Takeda Harunobu trusted him and arranged for him to be here to let him assist trust to gain a foothold in the Mochizuki family. He couldn't just give up so easily.

Kurihara Masakiyo immediately said to his retainers: "Yoshikiyo, you take the young master to the back door to watch first, and once I set the castle tower on fire, you immediately leave with the young master!" ”

His retainer Ono Yoshikiyoshi nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the lord will definitely protect the palace of trust!" ”

Kurihara Masaaki nodded, and immediately summoned all the samurai and ashigaru to defend the castle, and at the same time sent someone to capture the family of Nobuya Mochizuki.

At this moment, Yamato Sabei ran out of the residence with Nobuya Mochizuki's wife and his son, and at this moment Nobuya's wife Mochizuki had already changed into a set of belly rolls, holding a naginata knife in her hand.

The two maids who followed her also rolled up their sleeves and followed behind with naginatas.

They had not gone far before they met the samurai of the Takeda family, Kazushigaru, who had come to capture them.

The samurai rushed over with four ashigaru, and Yamado Sabei immediately rushed forward and shouted, "I'm the Mochizuki samurai, Yamato Sabei, and I'm here to get my name!" ”

"I am Kiyotomo Asari under the command of the general of the Takeda family, Kurihara Masaaki, and on the orders of my lord, I will capture the family of the rebel general Nobuya Mochizuki!" The samurai shouted.

Yamato Left Guard immediately turned back to Mochizuki Nobuya's wife and said, "Madam, please go quickly, resist here below!" ”

Then he shouted to Asari Qingyou: "If you want to arrest them, kill them first!" ”

Qianli Qingyou suddenly said: "In this case, then meet your wishes, assault!" ”

Yamato Sabei thought that he was fighting alone, with the heart of death, but two coquettish cheers came from behind him, and it turned out that two maids had come to help, and Mochizuki Nobuya's wife was running to another place with the child.

At this moment, the city was full of fire, and Mochizuki Nobuya also led people to kill at the gate of Ninomaru. This place has long been guarded by more than 20 people.

And Mochizuki Nobuya's side relied on the name of the Mochizuki family to barely gather more than 20 people.

Nobuya Mochizuki had no way out, and he shouted: "Everyone, the way to survive is behind the door, we must kill it, otherwise our wives, sons, and daughters will definitely be sold by the Takeda family!" Kill! ”

"Oh!"

Mochizuki Nobuya's first charge made the rest of the people very excited, and followed Mochizuki Nobuya to storm the city gate and fight a bloody battle at the city gate.

Several retainers desperately opened the city gate, letting Mochizuki Nobuya go first, and the rest continued to resist the defenders, and then several samurai dropped the cannon fodder and slipped away directly to find Mochizuki Nobuya.

By the time Kurihara Masaaki arrived, he had already left for a short time.

Kurihara Masakiyo didn't ask much, he gathered the remnants of his army and continued to hurry to the gate of Waimaru.

Outside the city, Satomi Youzu was woken up, and in a hurry, he immediately let the army of the Youzu family launch a surprise attack, and then Kamizu Kenra and others reorganized the Sakushi people as the second echelon to prepare for the siege.

The siege at night was very difficult, and many people in the Ashigaru family who launched the attack accidentally fell down because it was too dark, and there was a stampede, only to be repelled by a rain of arrows.

Shenzu Xianliang immediately stood up and said, "General General, let your subordinates go down!" ”

Youjin Yuanzhi's face was dull, and he immediately said: "Give the Youjin family another chance!" After speaking, I will give you a straight look.

Youzu Masanao immediately had a large number of torches set up and launched a second attack, which was so rapid that more than 200 people had already been killed under the city walls.

When Kurihara Masaaki arrived, the defender was about to go for help, and as soon as he saw Kurihara Masaaki, he said, "Kurihara, the enemy is attacking rapidly, and his subordinates are all about to die. ”

Kurihara Masaaki frowned and said, "Don't be afraid, hold on, there will be reinforcements soon!" ”

He immediately took over the command and ordered dozens of soldiers under his command to rush to the city wall to help.

He can't care about the disappeared Mochizuki Nobuya now, and now it is important to defend Mochizuki City.

Kurihara Masakiyo led a garrison of less than 100 men and fought fiercely with the Youzu family, who was also shot and wounded, and had to drop a dozen corpses and retreat.

Satomi Youzu just glanced at her brother's injury, and then said to Kamizu Kenra: "Kenliang, you lead the Sakuda people to attack, Yilong, and lead the iron cannon team to go up and suppress the formation!" ”

Kamizu Kenra was greatly excited, and immediately led more than 300 troops to attack Mochizuki Castle.

There were only more than 80 defenders in Mochizuki Castle, and they did not flinch in the face of more than 300 people.

It wasn't until Ryu Iwasita led the Iron Artillery Team to appear, and Sakudai was very resentful of the Takeda family, that Kurihara Masaaki failed to defend the castle gate and had to retreat all the way to the castle tower.

Soon, the castle tower was in flames, and Ono Yoshikiyo, who saw the signal, fled to Nagawa Castle overnight with trust.

Satomi Youzu immediately asked the soldiers to search for other parts of Mochizuki Castle in search of Mochizuki Nobuya, and at the same time sent someone to write a letter to Ueda Nobukata to report the situation.
