Genichiro Iitomi, who left more than a dozen corpses and was dragged back by his subordinates, was disgraced at the moment, and he really couldn't raise his head in front of his brother.

He hung his head in frustration, lowered his head and said, "Brother, the younger brother has lost face for the rich family!" ”

Iifu Huchang frowned and said: "Genshiro, defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is to lose the heart to fight, and no one can guarantee that he will always win the battle."

This time the responsibility does not lie with you, but with me, the defense of Qianshan City is very strong, and the chaos waves have not been able to detect that there is an iron cannon in the city, and your defeat is inevitable.

Before, the lord bought a batch of iron cannons again, and I brought twenty of them, and I will help you later! ”

Genichiro Iitomi regained his confidence and nodded, "Ha! Brother, younger brother knows, this time I will definitely let the Ueda family know that we are awesome! ”

After resting for a while, Shiro Iitogen regrouped his army and attacked the city again, this time with more wood, and twenty iron cannons followed.

After another round of bow and arrow fire, Iitomi Genshiro led his troops thirty steps closer to Maeyama Castle, and he did not stop, and immediately let the ashigaru advance, and at the same time told the iron cannon Ashigaru to wait for orders.

Ueda Nobukata saw the figure of Iitomi Genshiro reappear in the Takeda military formation, and immediately asked Yazaki Heizou to shoot at Iitomi Genshiro's place.

After a burst of iron cannon gunfire, the ashigaru holding the wooden tree in the front row of the Iitomi family's army was knocked down, revealing the back row.

However, Genshiro Iitomi stood up directly, pointed a gun at the place where the smoke was thickest and shouted, "Shoot!" ”

Twenty iron cannons fired in unison, and the wall was splashed with sawdust, and several iron cannons were hit lightly, fell to the ground and screamed, or snorted, and died on the spot.

As for Ueda Nobukata, he immediately squatted down and left, and only dared to stick out his head when he found a place on the stone wall.

Iitomi Genshiro heard the screams of the guards of the former mountain castle, and regardless of the smoke had not yet cleared, he immediately led the army of the Iitomi family to carry out a pig assault.

Pig protrusion refers to the rampant like a wild boar, wandering and invading. During the Xinmang period, Wang Mang organized criminals into death squads and called them "pig sudden".

"Pig" is a positive word in Japan, referring to the wild boar, the status of the wild boar in Japan is probably about the same as the Chinese tiger, saying who is a pig is to praise him for being brave and fearless, indomitable (domestic pig in Japanese is "porpoise" not pig) There is a word in Japanese called "pig rush", which translates to the meaning of indomitable, so the pig rush charge is not a derogatory term, the Japanese call this tactic.

Iitomi Genshiro rushed to the moat with his army, and immediately threw down the bamboo ladder several meters long that had been prepared and threw it onto the moat.

Ueda Nobukata was in a hurry, and immediately roared angrily: "Archery, you must not let the enemy cross the river!" ”

However, the enemy had already stepped forward to form a defensive line with a wooden stick, and then a famous foot rushed out, stepped on the dangling bamboo ladder, and rushed to the opposite side.

The bamboo ladder is too long, the middle is relatively soft, the ashigaru who walked up is not very steady, the first batch of rushed up, a few people were directly thrown into the water by the very shaky bamboo ladder, ashigaru struggled, was injured by the bamboo thorns in the water, frightened, cramps in his hands and feet, drowned in the river.

There was also Ashigaru halfway through, and was hit by a bow foot light shot on the city wall, and fell into the moat with a scream, and finally died, and the body floated.

Seeing that Iitomi Huchang under the mountain was hindered by Iitomi Genshiro's attack again, he immediately led the cavalry to assault and destroy all the equipment such as the waterwheel.

However, halfway through, a signal came from the rear front to withdraw the troops, and Iitomi Huchang immediately ordered the army to abandon the half-destroyed equipment and withdraw immediately.

Iitomi Genshiro originally wanted to continue the siege, but when he saw that his brother also sent a signal to withdraw his troops, he could only retreat with hatred.

At this time, more than a dozen corpses floated in the moat, and there should be more than a dozen in the water.

Iitomi Genshiro returned to the main camp, took off his hood directly, threw it on the long table, and asked, "Why did you withdraw the troops?" ”

Iitomi Huchang was also puzzled, and looked at Koyamada Shinyu on the main seat, Koyamada Shinyu took out a piece of paper and said, "New news, there is a thousand-man cavalry that is rapidly approaching Qianshan Castle.

Most of these cavalry were banners we didn't recognize, followed by those of the former retainers of the Umino family, and the banners of Nagano Yoshimasa of Kaminowa Castle. ”

Fan Fu Huchang suddenly frowned and said, "Qianqi? The people who support Ueda Nobukata are not small, who will it be? ”

Oyamada Nobuyu coughed and said, "I'm afraid it's Echigo's long-tailed Keiho." ”

Iitomi Huchang was shocked and said, "Echigo people, how did they meddle in Shinano's affairs!" ”

Oyamada Nobuyu sighed and said, "What's the use of saying this, now that the enemy army has increased by a thousand horsemen, in short, it is even more difficult to fight the former mountain castle." ”

Fan Fu Huchang was silent for a while, and said: "Don't worry, let people go and see if the reinforcements are elite or not, if it's just a rabble, don't be afraid." ”

Oyamada Shin nodded and said, "What the young assistant of the Iitomi Military Department said is right, in this way, I can only work hard for you to take a look." ”

Iitomi Huchang got up and said, "This time, I came down to serve as the leader of Oyamada and check the enemy's intelligence, which is what I should do. ”

He motioned with his eyes for Inatomi Genshiro to sit down, turned and left the shogunate.

Originally, Ueda Nobukata didn't know why the Iitomo family had withdrawn from the army, and then a retainer came to say that Sanada Yutaka was about to arrive at Maeyama Castle with reinforcements.

Ueda Nobukata immediately threw the castle defense to Yazaki Heizo, and took Iwasita Ryu to meet Sanada Yukitaka.

He saw thousands of cavalry from a distance on the mountain, and his heart suddenly blossomed, especially some of the cavalry looked majestic, and the flag finger was a nine-yao pattern, which was the family crest of the long-tailed family.

At this time, Nagao Keihu had not inherited the Kanto Domain, nor did he inherit the name of the Uesugi family, so he couldn't use the bamboo finch pattern.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the banner of Bishamentian, which is one of the most significant features of the long-tailed Jinghu, Ueda Nobukata has to think about it when he sees the Jiuyao pattern, but as soon as he looks at the banner of Bishamentian, he can immediately determine that the person who came is the reinforcement of the long-tailed Jinghu.

Ueda Nobukata immediately led people to run far away to meet reinforcements from Echigo Ueno.

Sanada Yutaka saw Ueda Nobukata running out from afar, and hurriedly said to the people next to him, "Everyone, my lord has come out to greet me and wait." ”

When Ueda Nobukata came out, he had not yet removed his armor, and everyone looked in the direction that Sanada Yutaka was pointing and saw a military general running on a war horse.

When Ueda Nobukata approached, Sanada Yutaka stepped forward and said, "Everyone, this is the lord below, Ueda Nobukata." ”

Sanada Yutaka pointed to the Kakizaki Keijia and said, "My lord, this is the important minister of the Echigo Guardian Nagao Palace. ”

Ueda Nobukata's eyes widened slightly, but he knew that Kakizaki Keika was a fierce general! Now it's good, there is a fierce general who can compete with the rice rich family!
