After Nobuyasu Ataka succeeded his father as the lord of Awaji, only one-third of the wealthy clans who actually obeyed him were formed, and Suga Dacho, who was the strongest in battle on the island, and Kenao Funagoshi, who was the most popular, formed their own gangs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info difference is that the former clearly does not listen to orders, and the latter secretly crosses the level to contact the three good families.

Today, the Suga family and the Funa-etsu party had a head-to-head showdown. Soldier against soldier, general against general.

When there was a fierce battle in front of the gate, there was also a battle on both sides. In terms of average combat effectiveness, the affiliated wealthy clans of the Suga family were stronger than the Funa-goshi party, but the latter had the city wall as a cover, and they also fought equally.

Of course, it is at a lower level that the strength is equal, and the bloody battle between the main forces is not the same.

On Awaji Island, where there are less than 50,000 people in total, there are more than 10,000 people who have seen blood with knives, and it is obvious that most of them are pirates who bully the weak and fear the hard, and there are never many soldiers who can really fight.

However, the casualty rate of low-level combat is not necessarily small. Although the elites are under pressure several times greater, they also have life-saving skills that are several times higher.

That's the case with Suga. He had been shot five times, but each time he avoided the vital point, and the skin wound was only painful, but not fatal, so he still stood on the front line to supervise the battle.

"Konhachiro! Good job, worthy of being my personal soldier! ”

"Hashisuke! Has the knife been rolled? Take my sword! ”

"Sukeemon, what are you doing! Don't be distracted on the battlefield! ”

……

Every time the name of the soldier is accurately called, the morale of the person concerned will be raised a little higher, and he will charge forward more fearlessly.

Kan slyly weaved his way through the crowd, allowing his men to hear his voices without leaving the enemy a chance to fire a salvo. He even took a moment to throw a baked jade into the city, smashed several guards, and smoked the city gate black, looking crumbling.

Fifty paces away, three shots and three hits, which is also an extraordinary performance for Kan Dachang. But it's almost the limit, and the wounds and fatigue have accumulated to a certain extent, and it's really uncertain to do it again. The plot of individual heroism is unlikely to be repeated.

To say that the conductor ...... Actually, there is nothing to command. Attacking the city head-on, and lacking equipment, what else can you do other than the ant possession?

Five wooden fences have already been laid on the earthen ditch to form a ladder structure. The six or seven hundred people at the bottom of the box were pulled out and forced in three echelons. With the exception of the iron artillerymen in the arrows, most of them had abandoned their bows and arrows, which could not be used in this small area, and replaced them with swords and short spears, and fought hand-to-hand at the head of this narrow city.

The iron cannon in the arrow oar could not be used again for the time being after firing more than twenty times in a row.

The suppression of bows and arrows outside the city has also been basically abandoned, and the attempt to bake the jade continues, but it has never played a decisive role. After all, pitchers like Suga are really rare.

The walls weren't high enough, and the slope of the walls wasn't steep enough, but the defenders still had some advantage anyway, at least they were able to exert their strength without reservation on their feet on the ground. The attacking soldier needs to attack from the back, and it is always difficult to make the upper strength.

This difference is enough to smooth out the gap in military quality between the two sides. The Kan army was never able to enter the city, and the Funayue army could not drive them down.

"Ahhhh

A pirate leader who was about to burst into the wall, but was pierced through the abdomen by the naginata, as if he had suddenly gained unknown power, widened his eyes, swung his knife vigorously and cut off the hilt in front of him, and then jumped into the city, ignoring the attacks around him, dancing like a madman, slashing three enemies in succession, before finally being nailed to the ground by several short spears at once, completely silent.

Taking advantage of this little space, five strong Kongwu Kan family soldiers stepped in almost at the same time, forming a battle group back to back with each other, and fiercely attacked the nearby defenders, forcing dozens of people around them to be unable to get close, and they were about to gain a foothold in the city.

That's when the "Push them down!" Seven or eight dead soldiers flew over like tigers, ignoring the addition of swords and trying to grab them in the last period.

The few people who rushed to the front pierced the sword without any suspense, but it took some time to pull out the blade, and the remaining few people took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, hugging the enemy's waist, and rolling down the city together, which was completely a human cannonball.

Rolling down the slope was not enough to fall to death and faint, but the defenders who dared to leave the walls were immediately swarmed up and cut into flesh pieces.

But the head of the city was always held for the time being.

The same thing, in the same place, happened over and over again, and Suga Dacho paid about two hundred lives, and the killings caused were about the same level. He seemed to be just one breath away from taking the city, but that was just a delay. Piles of corpses, and countless blood, stumps, and broken knives. Black smoke was billowing everywhere, half of it was roasting that had been thrown in, and half it was the constant fire of iron cannons.

The thick blood, the hazy smoke, and occasionally the strange aroma of the flesh being burnt are intertwined into a dream-like, poignant picture scroll like the Santu River.

The casualties have been close to one-third, but they are still fighting to the death, which can be regarded as an undoubted strong army in the era of cold weapons. However, a strong army cannot infinitely overdraw morale and fighting spirit, and if it continues like this, it must be the attacker who collapses first.

On the secondary battlefields on both sides, the Hao clans also fought fiercely for a time, but after the number of casualties exceeded a hundred, they began to retreat, and naturally they never approached the city wall.

And this made the onlookers appreciate Suga Dacho rising.

……

In the tent about 1.5 kilometers away from the 1.5 town, Hirate and his generals sat on a high platform and watched the situation through Western binoculars.

With the development of the war situation, the atmosphere on the high platform gradually became tense, and some people were surprised from time to time. In less than an hour, the public opinion evaluation of Kan Dachang has undergone a reversal, from contempt and disdain to impress.

Especially a few generals, seeing that the besieging side was so brave, they couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.

"Lord Supervisor! The armies on both sides are really useless, if you concentrate the elites of our army and take advantage of this moment to reinforce and assault, you are sixty percent sure that you will take the city in one fell swoop! ”

Sasa Narumasa couldn't help but fight at all, and Hisho Xiuyi had a similar thought on his face. Even Dr. Yasuda Terada, who has always been regarded as a despicable villain, is eager to try.

Blood and fire have always been the symbols that most arouse primitive desires.

Including the draw of the show, he was slightly touched, reminding him of the bloody battle in Inagihara more than ten years ago. But unlike Zozo and others, his judgment will not be swayed by this sudden emotion at all.

The current scene is indeed enough to prove Suga's talent and courage. It would be a pity to die here in such a fight. But on the other hand, such a person with outstanding martial arts but difficult to control, should he simply be allowed to be damaged here to avoid future troubles?

He hesitated for a moment, and before he could make a decision, he found through the lens that the troops attacking the city head-on did not hesitate to retreat on all fronts! The soldiers on the two flanks, who had already lost their fighting spirit, were immediately relieved and hurriedly turned back.

Theoretically, such a disorderly retreat is dangerous, and in the event of a pursuit, it is bound to be defeated. It's just that the defenders probably can't fight anymore, and they don't have the slightest intention of chasing them out.

What's going on?

Hiratite put down the binoculars in his hand suspiciously, looked around without moving, and then heard a jagged exclamation from the city.

If you look closely, you seem to be saying, "The food is gone!" Or, "The granary is burning!" Something like that.

I lifted the lens tube again, but I still couldn't see what was going on through the smoke. There was smoke billowing from the city, and there were so many sources of fire that I couldn't tell where the granary was.

But there is no need to worry, Fan Xiu waved his hand, signaling everyone to settle down, and quietly wait for Kan Dachang to report the situation.

Sure enough, after only a moment, a herald came to report: "Kan Dachang said that he had taken advantage of the frontal siege of the city and sent people to burn the grain and grass warehouse in the city, and now he has won without a fight!" ”

And so it was!

Fan Xiu was slightly surprised, and immediately listened attentively, and sure enough, the exclamations in the city had gradually turned into lamentations and wails. It seems that even the generals have given up on their intention to boost morale, and have not stopped the spread of this sentiment at all.

After waiting for a while, the fireworks on the battlefield slowly dissipated, and after a careful search, it was indeed possible to see that two Yakura were burning particularly violently, and the defenders were trying to extinguish them, but it seemed difficult to do so for a while, and looking at the blackened degree of those wooden pillars, I am afraid that the supplies inside would have been burned out long ago.

Seeing this, the tie also changed color.

The bloody battle just now, although it shows the courage of Kan Dacho, is only similar to the tie Hideyi, Honda Masashige and others. Although his on-the-spot command ability is worth mentioning, it may not surpass Sasa Narumasa and Kawajiri Hidetaka.

However, this fierce scene is just a cover, and finally infiltrating to burn food is the killer tool, and this means is above those people. Back then, when Sazuo Chengzheng and Tieshou Xiuyi asked for battle, they all felt that it would take more than ten days to take this kind of city.

It also imitated the strategy of the tie and used the point of storing grain to make a fuss, and it was obviously very good to play the ability to learn and use it on the spot.

In terms of this battle alone, Kan Da has the level of fighting a long war, and he can compete with Takigawa Kazuki.

Thinking back to this guy's lack of discipline and wisdom in his political position, his greedy, shameless, and sloppy and credulous posture, it is really like two people, and it is in stark contrast to his comfort on the battlefield.

This made Hitei Tsunohide sigh: "What a Kan Dacho, it can really be said to be Lu Bu on Awaji Island!" ”

The technique of baking jade with one hand can be called a miraculous skill, and I don't know how many goods he has in his so-called "Suga Flowing Water Army". But Honhide had already decided in his heart that he wanted to recommend this person to Nobunaga and transfer him to other directions, and he couldn't let him stay on this front. Otherwise, it will become elbows and armpits, and there is no way to regret it.

And it also happened to fulfill the promise of "capturing Zhuangtian City and giving high-ranking officials generous rewards". (Although when he said this, he was not expected to actually do it.) Isn't it a very rare honor to recommend Nobunaga as a direct minister?

As for security, don't worry about it. Nobunaga is a person who can tolerate even Matsunaga Shu twice, the so-called lice are not itchy and debts are not worried, and it is not tight to put an extra explosive bag next to his old man.
