Chapter 109: The Mill of Kita-Omi (2)
Burning Sky looked at Ashigaru, who was already fighting with the Isono Yuanmasa army in the distance, and shouted at Fushiwa Mingjiro, who was fighting hard in front of him, "Mingjiro quickly return to the castle tower, don't entangle with them!" Hearing the words of the burning sky, Fushiwa Mingjiro swept away the bamboo spear that stabbed him with a knife, and ran in the direction where the burning sky was.
Admiral Ryō chopped the ashigaru who caught up with him into two pieces, and then shouted at Suzuki Heavy Industries on the second floor of the castle tower, "Shoot the people with torches, they attract them!" ”
The burning castle hall houses illuminated the sky red, but the figure hidden in the moonlight quietly bypassed Ashigaru, who had no intention of resisting, and hurried in the direction of the castle tower. On the second floor of the castle tower, in the castle hall full of fighting, five shots were fired that were not noticeable. The rebels who were originally standing under the walls of the castle hall with torches fell to the ground in an instant without knowing it.
Someone looked back at Ashigaru who fell to the ground, and at this moment, there was a "charge!" The command exploded in his ears. Driven by their own consciousness, countless rebel samurai rushed to Ashigaru, who was entangled with Burning Sky and others. In an instant, those ashigaru who originally belonged to Nobusumi Isono were caught off guard by the samurai who suddenly attacked behind them.
Suzuki Heavy Industries, which finished firing a gun, immediately retracted the gun mouth that stretched out of the narrow room, quickly cleaned up the remaining gunpowder in the sound of killing in the sky, and then loaded the gunpowder, filled the projectile filled into the gun barrel with a whole strip, and then stretched the iron cannon out of the narrow room again, aimed at the rebels holding torches outside, and pulled the trigger on his hand after his breath stabilized. In an instant, five more projectiles burst out of the barrel under the impetus of the gunpowder, piercing the rebel's rudimentary Guzu after a breath, burrowing into the body of the rebel ashigaru who was tense in the muscles of his body.
Apparently the flames of the cannon's jaw were spotted by the rebel warriors who were charging on the stone steps, and a rebel warrior broke away from the ranks and ran towards the gate of the castle hall.
Having successfully retreated into the castle tower, Yakora and Fushiwa Akijiro worked together to close the Atsugi Gate of the castle tower, and then Yakora gasped against the Atsugimon and said to the samurai behind him, "Ladies and gentlemen, the samurai of the rebels are about to invade, and the time has come to be loyal to their family!" ”
After listening to the words of the burning sky, the samurai's bodies changed differently. Burning Sky looked up and saw the samurai in the castle tower condensing into a mist of water with heavy gasps, some holding their swords tightly with both hands, others raising their arms to wipe the beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, as time seemed to pass unusually slowly. After a few breaths, the old righteous warriors at the bottom of the castle tower who had followed the Burning Sky to raid Takeda Katsuyori were half-kneeling on the ground, and Fushiwa Akijiro, who was the leader, said to the Burning Sky; "If the lord is ordered here today, he will definitely follow the lord in the future!"
The other samurai who were half-kneeling on the ground echoed Fushiwa Akijiro's words and expressed their loyalty to the burning sky. The rest of the samurai looked at the samurai who was kneeling on the ground in front of them, and for a moment they didn't know what to do. At this moment, a figure fell from the second floor of the castle tower to the bottom floor, and when the half-kneeling samurai looked at the man, the man also half-knelt and said to the Burning Sky, "I would like to follow the lord in Shimosuzuki Heavy Industries!" ”
Later, Ichisuke on the second floor and three other samurai armed with iron cannons also half-knelt to show their loyalty to the sky. The rest of the warriors finally reacted, and half-knelt and said to the burning sky: "I wish to be loyal to the lord!" Burning Sky looked at the half-kneeling samurai, and said to Ichisuke and Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Go to the second floor and watch the situation!" ”
At the moment when Ichisuke on the right, Suzuki Heavy Industries and others ascended to the second floor, Nobusumi Isono and the three samurai behind him shouted, "The samurai of the bad rebels have already defeated the ashigaru on those stone steps!" Just as they finished speaking, there was a loud bang on the thick wooden door of the castle tower.
The incinerator leaning against the door was instantly pushed out by the tremendous force coming from his back. Seeing this, Fushiwa Akijiro stabilized the figure of the burning air, and waved his hand to the samurai who was still half-kneeling behind him, and several samurai quickly rushed forward to resist the thick wooden gate that was attacked by the rebel samurai. Burning Sky, who stabilized his body, immediately asked the people on the second floor, "What is the situation in the city hall?" ”
After a few breaths, the voice of the right Ichisuke came from the second floor: "The houses of the castle hall have all been set on fire, and the rebel army has completely gained the upper hand, those ashigaru can't stand it!" ”
Listening to Ichisuke You's words, Burning Sky turned his head to look at Nobusumi Isono, who was clenching his fists on the side. Then he said to the samurai who was holding the wooden door against it, "Stand down, draw your swords and prepare to fight!" With that, he shook the sword in his hand behind his head and stabbed it towards the thick wooden door. The sword engraved with the authentic inscription pierced the thick wooden door, and when the Burning Sky pulled it out of the wooden door again, a trace of blood had already stuck to the tip of the knife. In an instant, the force of the impact on the wooden door became lighter, and a sword slash followed.
Ichisuke You, Suzuki Heavy Industries, and others on the second floor also kept shooting outside with the help of the burning fire and the glimmer of torches. After four or five rounds of firing, more than a dozen people had already been hit by the iron cannons. Just as Ichisuke and the others were reloading their ammunition, all the torches in the castle hall were suddenly extinguished, leaving only the burning castle hall constantly emitting heat and light.
The thick wooden gate of the castle tower shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye after being frantically slashed. The rebel samurai who broke through the wooden door screamed and stepped into the bottom of the castle tower, and then was stabbed in front of the door in the next breath. The rest of the rebels tripped over the fallen warrior by physical inertia, and a blade that glistened with cold light pierced his abdomen.
Fushiwa Akijiro quickly pulled out the sword stuck in the back of the rebel samurai and stabbed forward again, and Sakaku also stood beside him and cooperated to stab the rebel samurai in front of him. Almost instantly, the cracked wooden gate of the castle tower was piled up to a third of the height by three samurai who fell in succession. The other samurai apparently hesitated, not knowing what kind of people were hiding in the faint castle tower.
A cold wind blew, and the candlelight in the castle tower swayed in the wind, reflecting the shadows of the people in the castle tower and the others on the wall. The rebel warriors outside the door apparently pounced again after a brief hesitation. By this time, Sakaku and Fushiwa Akijiro had already retreated, and three other samurai stepped forward, ready to meet the rebel samurai who were about to climb over the corpses of their colleagues.
Another round of gunshots, the ashigaru in the melee was pierced by the hot projectile that came from the gallop, and instantly knelt on the stiff ground, and the enemy in front of him was also startled by the sudden projectile, and the bamboo spear in his hand did not stab out for the first time, but then he found that his body also became weak and weak, and looked down, only to see that warm blood flowed out of his abdomen, and the ribs in the hands of the ashigaru who knelt on the ground were neatly covered with blood, drop by drop, immersed in the cold ground, as if to wake up the sleeping earth.
In front of the castle tower, the corpse of another rebel samurai fell, and Burning Sky waved his hand to signal the other three samurai to step forward and take over. Nobusumi Isono on the side looked at the expressionless burning in front of him, and the skin under the belly roll couldn't help but rise.
