Seeing that Ichisuke Right nodded, Suzuki Heavy Industries also raised the iron cannon and held his breath and aimed the iron cannon at the samurai on the watchtower of Imagata Castle. The other samurai also tightened their bowstrings and looked at the samurai on the tower at Imagata Castle Honmaru. As he poked his head out to observe, he faintly heard the sound of the bowstring tightening in his ears, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. The samurai on the Honmaru watchtower in Imakinada Castle did not perceive the danger at all, but kept passing on the situation of Ninomaru to the enemies in Honmaru.

"Bang!" The triggers of the two iron cannons were pulled at the same time, and Burning Sky, who was startled by the sudden shooting of the two people, was stunned at first, and then looked up at the samurai on the watchtower. I saw that the two samurai on the watchtower were stunned at first, and then they were shot by flying arrows and fell on top of the watchtower.

Seeing this, Burning Sky praised a few people: "You are indeed all sharpshooters of your own family, and everyone will be rewarded when they go back!" After saying the words of approval, Burning Sky leaned out to look at the wise army that was fighting against the defeated army of the shogunate, and said to his men, "Rush up and help the wise man!" ”

Originally, the shogunate rout army that had just mentioned some war intentions was caught up by the wise army, and the fighting spirit that rose was like gunpowder smoke in the air, although it was permeated for a while, but it was difficult to last long, and from time to time, the wise army defeated the shogunate rout, this time Akechi Mitsuhide did not give them a chance, and united with the army under Niwa Nagahide to eat the shogunate rout in Ninomaru.

The burning sky is to lead his subordinates to fish in the melee, and after the army works together to eat the defeated army of the shogunate, the burning sky has four heads hanging on his body. Although the enemy in Honmaru lost his view of the watchtower for a while, he soon sent several samurai to the top of the tower, this time holding small pieces of thick wood in their hands, and bending over the watchtower only to show their heads from time to time to observe.

The battle in front of the Honmaru Gate gradually came to an end, and the enemy forces in Honmaru finally opened the gate, and the Shibata army immediately followed the defeated shogunate army into Honmaru. Burning Sky thought that there was no one without suspense in this battle, but after a deafening sound of iron cannons came from Honmaru, Burning Sky heard countless shouts coming from Honmaru. At this time, the burning sky still didn't feel anything strange, but suddenly the wise Mitsuhide tiger body standing in front of the burning sky was shocked, and hurriedly said to Niwa Nagahide on the side: "Niwa-sama, there should be a tiger's mouth in the main pill of Kenta Castle today!" ”

After listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Burning Sky was a little puzzled, so he turned his head to look at Suzuki Heavy Industries, who was fiddling with the arquebus. Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at the inquiring gaze of the Burning Sky, lowered his head and said to the Burning Sky: "Lord, there are many forms of the tiger's mouth, but the reasonable application of each tiger's mouth will cause great losses to the besieging side!" ”

Burning Sky listened to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, and looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, who was discussing with Niwa Nagahide whether to withdraw the army, and the questions in his heart suddenly increased. After Niwa Nagahide and Akechi Mitsuhide finished discussing, they called their attendants, and then a low conch horn sounded from behind the Burning Hollow. While lining up on the flanks of the Honmaru gate, Akechi Mitsuhide continued to send his men to report the situation to Shibata Katsuie's main camp.

In the wailing of the Ho Conch, the Oda army, which had been in front of the Honmaru gate, quickly withdrew from the gate and withdrew towards the outside of the castle. The samurai and ashigaru, who had just poured into Honmaru, escaped from Honmaru as soon as they had a way to escape behind them. Standing in the array on the side of the door, looking at the fighting spirit of his fellow samurai and the pale Ashigaru, his knowledge of the tiger's mouth was raised a little, at least he knew that the tiger's mouth was a good defense facility.

Just as the Burning Sky was discussing the tiger's head, a burst of gunfire rang out in Burning Sky's ears, and Burning Sky looked up at the Honmaru Gate where the gunshots came, only to see a young samurai of his own age yelling, "Why did Niwa-sama retreat?" With that, the samurai rushed out of the Honmaru with the iron cannon in hand, followed by forty or fifty iron cannons. Burning Sky looked at the samurai in front of him, only to hear Niwa Nagahide say: "Sheng Zheng, don't you know the power of the tiger's mouth? It's just that I didn't expect someone from the Ashikaga family to set the tiger's mouth in this pill, which I really didn't expect! Okay, either come with me, or you retreat first! ”

While listening to Niwa Nagahide's words, Burning Sky unconsciously glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, imagata Castle, who is also in Shiga County, should be no stranger to Akechi Mitsuhide, who is close to the Ashikaga family, but Akechi Mitsuhide only reminded Niwa Nagahide after the army rushed into Honmaru that this timing was too coincidental. The army that attacked Honmaru had some losses, but the casualties were not heavy, and even if they were investigated afterwards, there was not much fault, and the exploits of Akechi Mitsuhide in annihilating hundreds of shogunate troops were enough to silence many people.

And because Akechi Mitsuhide did not warn in advance, the Oda army, which was originally in the upper hand, had to temporarily withdraw from Honmaru, and even caused the Oda army to be defeated by the shogunate army's counteroffensive in one fell swoop. Now Akechi Mitsuhide and Niwa Nagahide are lined up here, and if the shogunate pursues, Akechi Mitsuhide is resisting the attack of the shogunate army, and even repelling the counterattack of the shogunate army, such a battle is definitely worthy of this battle.

Thinking of this, the scalp of the burning sky couldn't help but tingle a little, and Akechi Mitsuhide also seemed to find the burning sky's gaze and smiled at the burning sky. The Burning Sky General forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and bowed his head to Wise Mitsuhide. By the time Burning Sky looked up, the young and somewhat irascible warrior was already standing beside Burning Sky. Burning Sky looked at him in some surprise, and the man looked at Burning Sky, who was about the same height as himself, and said: "Burning Sky Entering the Dao, I am Sakuma Morimasa, I heard that you are brave and powerful, I must have a competition with you after this battle, you can't be killed in retreat!" ”

Burning Sky listened to Sakuma Morimasa's words, looked at the fierce general in front of him, first reacted with a wry smile, and then patted Sakuma Morimasa's shoulder, and said to him: "I have heard of your brave name for a long time, and I will definitely try to compete with you after this battle." ”

While the two were talking, a number of shogunate troops rushed out of Honmaru and pursued the evacuated Oda army. After Akechi Mitsuhide and Niwa Nagahide glanced at each other, he waved the sword in his hand, and everyone behind him rushed out with their weapons in hand. The shogunate army, which had just been victorious, was angered by Akechi Mitsuhide and others, and directly gave up the pursuit of the evacuated Oda army, and instead began to attack Akechi Mitsuhide and others.

Using the naginata as a spear, Burning Sky kept stabbing out of the narrow space, burying all the people who were interested in his head at the junction of Ninomaru and Honmaru in Imagata Castle. The two armies fought hard, but there was no intention of pursuing and fighting for a long time, so after stabbing a few enemy soldiers to death, Burning Sky followed Akechi Mitsuhide to the gate of Ninomaru, and the shogunate army who had calmed down also retreated into Honmaru and closed the gate of Honmaru heavily.

Akechi Mitsuhide and others, who were slowly pushing out of Imagata Castle, saw that the shogunate army had no intention of pursuing, so they hurried back to the camp. On the hill next to Shibata Katsuie's main camp, violent thunder continued to erupt, and iron Daimaru flew into Imakita Castle Honmaru with the help of gunpowder. In the eyes of the burning sky, at this moment, it seems that only wisps of gunpowder smoke and screams seem to be absent in the present Jiantian Castle.

Returned to the camp, the number of people was immediately counted, although the burning sky did not rush to the front line this time, but in the back to pick up leaks, but there are still six ashigaru and one monk missing, three ashigaru and two monks were seriously injured, and the number of lightly injured is ten. After counting the number of people, he said a few words of encouragement for morale, and was about to go to the military commissioner and the military commander to report the victory. Suddenly, I don't know when Sukeemon appeared next to Burning Sky and grabbed Burning Space, and Burning Sky looked at Sukeemon with some surprise and confusion.

Sukeemon gestured to the burning sky, and after the burning of the sky understood, he said to the right Ichisuke and Suzuki Heavy Industries: "You go to the military commissioner and report to the military eye first, and let Yamashita Shinsuke and them take care of everyone!" With that, he pulled Sukeemon into the house where Burning Sky and the samurai were resting.

After entering the house, Burning Sky looked at the things wrapped in flag fingers on the small table in the room, and said to Sukeemon with a smile: "Sukeemon, I didn't expect you to have some gains, by the way, I asked you to pass on the news, why did you go for so long?" As he spoke, he walked to the small table, looked at the blood stains oozing outside, and didn't look inside, and wanted to go out quickly to say to the two of them, and report one more first-level combat exploits, and just about to go out, he was stopped by the side with an indifferent look on the right emon.

Burning Sky is a little angry, you help the right emon not to speak, what are you always holding me for? So he raised his voice and said to Sukeemon, "Sukeemon, you're a little rude this time!" At this time, Sukeemon walked to the small table, held the head in front of the Burning Sky with both hands, and knelt on the ground with his armor on. Seeing this, Burning Sky was shocked, and hurriedly opened the Ashikaga flag finger that was wrapped like a head.

In the next second, Burning Sky was startled by the head in Sukeemon's hand. Burning Sky looked at the head in Sukeemon's hand, and stumbled out five words from his mouth, "Ann... Tsuchimae... Emon! ”
