Chapter 210: The Iron Wall of Echizen (3)
With the help of the Jilong Iron Artillery Corps' suppression of the military strength of Momoyama Castle, the crowd strode towards Momoyama Castle. The peasants in the crowd waved their farm tools over the shallow ditch, chanted the Buddha's name, and rushed along the ramp towards Momoyama Castle. Seeing this, Shimoma Yoriteru commanded his disciples to charge towards Momoyama Castle while slowly moving forward under the cover of wooden planks.
Sabei watched the rapid advance of Ichijo from the city gate, retracted his body and said to Heiji and Nanjo Teruaki beside him: "Ichiji and Ichigo are pressing fast, and it is estimated that there will be two or three rounds of shooting, so you inform everyone to protect themselves with wooden planks!" ”
The Kaima Yoshiya, who was "at the feet" of Sabei and the others, looked at the constant pressure through the narrow room, and heard the clansmen in the bow team say to him: "Lord, these people have gradually pressed, when are we going to shoot?" ”
After hearing this, the Seahorse Yijia waved his hand and said: "The lord has an order, wait until the enemy is close to sixty paces and shoot in, so that you can effectively kill and injure the enemy, everyone is waiting!" ”
The reloaded iron artillery team under the castle looked at the wooden plank wall erected on Momoyama Castle, and asked Yoshilong, who was commanding on the side, "Lord Kobayashi, at such a distance, we can't actually kill the Oda army in Momoyama Castle by shooting at such a distance." ”
After hearing this, Yoshitaka glanced back at Yoriteru Shimoma, who was tightly surrounded by wooden planks, and then said to his iron artillery team: "There is no need to advance, just shoot the Oda army in Momoyama Castle here, if the disciples are defeated later, we can also protect Lord Shimoma here, and we can also fight back against the Oda army rushing out of Momoyama Castle." ”
Yan Bi Jilong said to his iron artillery team again: "Okay, shoot!" ”
There was another roar of iron cannons, and the planks of Momoyama Castle were "crackled" by the blows. The crowd also took advantage of the fact that the Oda army in Momoyama Castle did not fight back, and ran frantically towards the gate of Momoyama Castle.
The seahorse Yijia behind the coffin looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, and the arrows on the vine bow gradually pulled away. Seeing this, the rest of the Bow Team and the Iron Artillery Team also aimed at their targets through Sasama.
"Shoot!" As he let go of the arrows in his hand, he gave orders to the surrounding archers and iron artillery teams.
In an instant, the crowd that had been charging forward was hit one after another, but under the supervision of the lecturer, they still ran forward with the Buddha's name.
The Seahorse Yijia commanded his clan to shoot quickly at the rushing crowd, and he himself fired six arrows in succession, knocking the disciples of the sect who rushed to the front and had no weapons to protect them.
Shimoma Lai Zhao saw that the disciples who were about to rush to Momoyama City were suddenly attacked, and immediately said to the monks under him: "Go and urge them to charge, it's not much worse, they can't do anything when they rush to the gate of Momoyama City!" Immediately, Shimoma Lai Zhao stepped forward and said to Ji Long, who was guarding him in front of him: "Ji Long, you quickly take the iron artillery team to suppress the bow team and iron artillery team of Momoyama City!" ”
After hearing this, Ji Long glanced at Shimoma Yorizhao, lowered his head and asked him, "Mage, if I go to attack Momoyama City, who will protect the mage?" ”
After hearing this, Shimoma Lai Zhao said hesitate: "There are monks and soldiers around me, Jilong should go and attack Momoyama City to establish his reputation!" ”
Sabei poked his head out of the protection of the plank, looked at the disciples of the Tsuyo Sect who had almost rushed to the city gate, and shouted to the standing guard beside him: "Lift the rolling logs up!" Standing Guard, who was on standby in the castle, listened to Sabei's order, and immediately lifted the log and came to the samurai to walk on. Carrying the rolling log onto the samurai's standing station, standing behind the standing standing board holding the rolling log.
Seeing that the standing guard beside him was ready, Sabei observed the iron artillery team that was moving towards him, and then shouted to the standing guard beside him: "Put down the plank, throw the log!" The standing guards, who had heard Sabei's order, put down the planks they were holding. Seeing this, the standing standing holding of the rolling log throws the rolling log in his hand together.
Before the disciples of the Ichizong Sect who had just rushed to the front of Momoyama Castle could catch their breath, they were knocked down by the rolling logs that fell from the sky. In an instant, scarlet blood came out of the nose and mouth of the farmer who had been smashed, and they fell straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Minami Teruaki, who was serving the Sabei at the city gate, asked the Sabei in front of him, "My lord, is this rolling log thrown a little late, and the rolling log seems to be..."
"Nanjo-sama, please be aware of your identity!" Heiji, who was holding the Sabei Naginagi knife on the side, had already interrupted Minami Teruaki with words before Minami Teruaki could finish his questioning.
The interrupted Nanjo Teruaki looked at Heiji who was holding a naginata knife on the side, suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed his head to Sabei who was watching the battle situation in front of him and said, "Lord, I am rude, I hope the lord will forgive me!" ”
Looking at the disciples of the sect who were smashed by the rolling log, Sabei sighed, then turned to Nanjo Teruaki, who bowed his head and saluted, and said, "Who told you that the rolling wood must be used by the enemy army for half an hour?" After hearing this, Minami replied without thinking, "My father told me!" ”
After hearing this, Sabei continued to ask, "Who told Nanjo-sama?" ”
When Minami heard this, he was about to speak, but suddenly he seemed to realize something, so he opened his mouth and froze in place.
Seeing this, Sabei said to the Nanjo people and Heiji behind him: "These things are all said by people, although they are the experience summed up by the ancients, but they are not necessarily the most suitable in the current situation, do you know why I want to let the people who have always been pressed to the city gate?" ”
Minami Teruaki and the others all shook their heads after hearing this, and then Sabei smiled at them, and then ordered Fujido Takatora in the castle: "With Youemon, attack!" ”
Then he said to them, "See for yourselves! ”
Fujido Takatora, who received the order from Sabei, raised his spear in front of the castle and led his two teams to kill the people who had been knocked down by the rolling logs.
After knocking down a row of sect disciples in front, Rolling Wood chased after the sect disciples behind him and ran down the slope. Fujitang Gaohu followed behind the rolling logs, harvesting the disciples of the sect who had been run over but still had their breath.
After Ji Long's iron artillery team went up to the halfway slope, they found that the disciples of the sect in front of them had begun to flee backwards. Out of the responsibility of a disciple, Ji Long said to the disciples of the Yixiang Sect who had fled: "Everyone, don't be afraid of the demons and wicked people in Momoyama City, the Buddha asked us to rescue them, everyone..."
Before Ji Long finished speaking, he saw a monk from the Yixiang sect running towards him, and Ji Long wanted to step forward to stabilize the panicked monk of the Yixiang sect, but was told to quickly flee for his life down the slope. Seeing this, the Ashigaru of the Iron Artillery Team also said to Yoshilong: "My lord, the Oda army on Momoyama Castle threw down the rolling logs, and I will flee quickly!" If you don't let me wait, it's too late to retreat! ”
Before Jilong could react, two ashigaru stood up to Jilong and said to Jilong, "My lord, forgive me!" With that, he carried Jilong and ran down the slope.
