After Ueda Nobukata asked the Iron Artillery Team to suppress the opponent's Yushigaru, he immediately changed the direction of the attack, and he asked the Iron Artillery Team to aim at the city gate and shoot.

Matsuo Castle's gates and most of the defenses were made of wood, so Ueda Nobukata decided to let the iron cannons fire at the gates first, and it would be easier for the ashigaru to break through the gates.

Of course, the team behind carried ladders, rope ladders and other things, and after attacking the city gate, it was not all smooth sailing, and behind the city gate was still a sheep intestine path, and there were walls on both sides.

Therefore, after capturing the city gate, the outer sides still need to capture the castle tower, and the three roads go hand in hand, and after taking the outer pill, there are Ninomaru and Honmaru.

After four or five rounds of firing from the Iron Artillery Corps, Ueda Nobukata immediately ordered the Ashigaru behind him to attack the castle.

Hundreds of ashigaru stepped forward in turn, and on this sheep's intestine trail in the mountains, the number of troops spread out would not exceed thirty.

At this time, the Sanada army in the castle began to fight back at the risk of death to prevent the Ueda army's Ashigaru from approaching.

Seeing that the arrow did not hurt anyone when it hit the wooden tree, Ueda Nobukata immediately lifted a piece of wooden tree, raised his spear, and shouted, "Charge with me!" ”

Ueda Nobukata rushed up the hill, walking like flying, and the surrounding ashigaru and samurai were all Saku, who already had hatred for Sanada, who belonged to the Takeda family, and now with Ueda Nobukata taking the lead, their morale was greatly boosted, and they followed Ueda Nobukata to launch a charge, fighting to the death.

The corners of Sanada Yutaka's eyes twitched, and he said with a bad face: "You must withstand this first wave of attacks!" ”

Haruhara-Wakasa Mamoru pressed Sanada Yutaka and said very seriously: "Lord, the Sanada family can't live without you, so let the minister go instead of you!" ”

He turned to Haruhara-soemon and said, "Saemon, protect the lord!" ”

After saying this, he left the small building in the city with his retainers and rushed to the watchtower on the city wall.

He picked up his bow and shot an arrow at Nobukata Ueda, who was charging forward, and the arrow passed by and landed on the ground behind.

Haruhara Wakasa Shou shouted, "Don't be afraid! Shoot me arrows and stop them! ”

The Sanada Army, which was hiding, stood up and shot arrows one after another, and was soon suppressed by the Ueda Army's iron artillery team and Bow Ashikagami below.

Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he immediately left the watchtower, led his retainers, and led more than 100 ashigaru to the back of the city gate.

He was ready to open the city gate and take the initiative to go out to fight, mainly because Ueda Nobukata only rushed up with a hundred people, but the personnel were uneven and the formation was scattered.

took the initiative to attack, and took advantage of Ueda Nobukata's unstable foothold to drive him down.

Ueda Nobukata rushed to the castle with a few samurai and a dozen ashigaru, and the gates of Matsuo Castle were immediately opened, and Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru led a dozen samurai and hundreds of ashigaru to kill.

Ueda Nobukata roared angrily and threw the wood out of the way, knocking over one samurai and several ashigaru at once.

He brandished a ten-character spear and danced, shouting: "I am Ueda Nobukata, who dares to fight with me!" ”

Haruhara Wakasa Mamori, who was in his forties, ignored it and shouted, "Kill Ueda Nobukata!" Assault! ”

Ueda Nobukata secretly cursed the old fox, and then rushed into the Sanada army and killed all sides.

However, many people in the Sanada army saw that Ueda Nobukata was brave and invincible, and they flinched for a while.

Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru was very angry, but he had to stand up and shout: "I am the general of the Sanada family, Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru!" Ueda Nobukata came to die! ”

When Ueda Nobukata heard the voice, he saw a veteran in the chaotic army come out, although he shouted his name, but it was a sneak attack, and the tip of the gun came with the sound.

He didn't have time to use the gun, so he could only draw his knife to block it, and only after opening the tip of the gun did he withdraw the ten-word gun.

Taking a step back, Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru was shocked, and he felt a strong force, which made his mouth ach faintly.

Ueda Nobukata didn't give the veteran a chance to rest, picked up the gun, and stabbed the veteran in the face, Haruhara's Wakasa Mamoru calmly set it aside, but the pain in the tiger's mouth intensified.

Under Ueda Nobukata's tough attack, Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru felt his arms tremble, and his hands were almost unable to grasp the spear.

Ueda Nobukata sneered, and charged a blow at Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru with strength, Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru resisted hard, and suddenly screamed miserably, and the spear was out of his hand.

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly stepped forward, knocked over Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru with a punch, and then grabbed him and ran back, without giving Sanada Jun a chance to react.

As soon as the Sakudai people saw that Ueda Nobukata was running behind, they immediately followed, and the Sanada army did not pursue, and they did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of injuring Haruhara Wakasamomo, so they watched the retreat of the Ueda army besieging the city.

The retainers in the city, such as Sanada Yutaka and Haruhara Sozaemon, were shocked, and they didn't know whether Haruhara Wakasa Mamoru was alive or dead, but now, the morale of the Sanada family has been hit.

Soon, returning to the bottom of the slope, Ueda Nobukata shouted at the castle, "Sanada, why bother? What is there about the Takeda family that is worth sticking to?

As long as you follow me Ueda Nobukata, Sanada Township will return to you sooner or later, Sanada Tsuki, isn't it your wish to get Sanada Township back?

The Takeda family just drew a big pie for you, so you don't have to stick to it. Sanada can also see that Matsuo Castle can definitely be captured in the next place!

When the time comes, there won't be many options left for Sanada, so please think about it for the sake of your family and the retainers who follow you! ”

People up and down the Sanada family heard Ueda Nobukata's words of persuasion. At this time, the Sanada family had not yet handed over the hostages to Takeda Harunobu, so Ueda Nobu chose to persuade him to surrender.

When Sanada Yukitaka handed over the hostages, it was two or three years later, when Sanada Yukitaka took Toishi Castle, and the Murakami family was about to be defeated, so Sanada Yukitaka sent the third man, Sanada Masayuki, to the Takeda family as a hostage.

Sanada Masayuki was smart and clever since he was a child, and was loved by Takeda Harunobu, so he passed to the Muto family and became Muto Kibei, and later returned to the Sanada family because the two brothers died in the fourth battle of Kawanakajima.

Haruhara-Sosaemon looked at Sanada Yukitaka and said, "My lord, please don't affect your decision because my brother is in the hands of Ueda Nobukata!"

My brother has already realized that he has decided to go out of the city to fight, and the minister will not be dissatisfied because of the decision of the lord, and it is the glory of the samurai to die on the battlefield! ”

Sanada Yutaka was conflicted, he didn't want to leave Shinano, and before that, he really almost got his old collar back.

But betraying the Takeda family? At the beginning, it was Yamamoto Kansuke who came to him many times and asked him to leave the Takeda family, if he left the Takeda family like this, it would be very disadvantageous to Yamamoto Kansuke.

There is also Xiangmu Changchao who has helped him many times, and if he surrenders, he will fight him in the future, and he does not want to and cannot make a move on Xiangmu Changchao.

Sanada Yutaka just said: "Be prepared and be wary of Ueda Nobukata attacking the city." With that, he turned and left.
