Chapter 125: The Siege of Kinda Castle
After a night of nothing, he woke up early in the morning and woke up all the samurai who were asleep around him. Without waiting for everyone to follow, Burning Sky had already walked out of the house, and when he saw Suzuki Heavy Industries on duty, he was watching and guarding while he was roasting a fire. Burning Sky stepped forward and patted Suzuki Heavy Industries on the shoulder, Suzuki Heavy Industries turned his head to look at Burning Sky and said, "Where are you going when you get up early in the morning?" "Burning Sky shook his head after listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries;" Tell the rest of the night watchers to go back and rest! ”
After listening to the words of the burning air, Suzuki Heavy Industries lowered his head and said, "Let's do it next!" Immediately, Suzuki Heavy Industries pressed the saber on his waist and walked towards the rest of the camp. Right Ichisuke also came out of the house at this time, looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries in the distance, and said to the burning sky: "Senior brother, today's order has not been issued yet, let's eat first!" After hearing this, Burning Sky looked at the samurai in the room, and said to the right Ichisuke, "Well, let everyone eat!" ”
After Kanku gave another order, he also took the umeboshi rice ball handed over by Ichisuke on the right and baked it on the fire.
After the meal, Burning Sky ordered everyone to move around the camp for a while, and he casually picked up the naginata knife on the side and walked to the wide field to practice his naginata technique. After a while, a samurai on horseback came to the camp where the burning sky was burning, and the burning sky stopped his movements and immediately went up to inquire about the situation. After seeing the Burning Sky, the horseback warrior bowed his head and said to the Burning Sky: "My lord, the lord has ordered you to go to the garrison to attend the meeting, and I hope that your lord will leave quickly!" ”
After reporting to the Burning Sky, the samurai on horseback turned over and ran towards the other camps. Burning Sky put the naginata in his hand back in place, pulled out the war horse beside him, and after explaining some things to Ichisuke and the others, he turned over and ran towards Niwa Nagahide's station.
After arriving at Niwa Nagahide's station, Kinakku tied the horse he was holding to the improvised stables on the side, and after the samurai on duty verified his identity, he was released into the station. There were already quite a few samurai sitting in the room, and the Burning Sky sat down on the mazar at the end of the room, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Niwa Nagahide conveyed the order to make siege equipment to the crowd after the arrival of the people, and announced that reinforcements from Shibata Katsuya would arrive within two days, and then gathered the reinforcements of Akechi Mitsuhide to besiege Imagata Castle.
After listening to Niwa Nagahide's order, the samurai looked at Niwa Nagahide with great excitement. Niwa Nagahide said to everyone with a slightly grim face: "This siege of Jinjiantian Castle, the lord intends to fight a quick battle, and end the battle before the year, your task is very heavy, I hope you can work hard and live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
After hearing Niwa Nagahide's words, all the samurai, including Burning Sky, stood up and said yes. When Niwa Nagahide heard the samurai's promise, he waved his hand to the samurai in the room, and the samurai bowed their heads and exited the house. The samurai walked outside the station to discuss Niwa Nagahide's orders, and Burning Sky walked alone in front of everyone.
Realizing that he was a little outlied, Burning Sky glanced back at the samurai who were close to him, and deliberately slowed down his walking, waiting for the samurai behind him to step forward and walk side by side with him. The samurai chatted about going home for the New Year after the battle, and when they passed by Burning Hollow, most of them smiled respectfully at Burning Hollow, and some walked directly past Burning Hollow.
Burning Sky, who was gradually walking behind the samurai, looked at the samurai in front of him, and laughed to himself, the voice was so small that he even felt that he was not laughing.
After returning to the camp, he found that everyone in the camp was sitting quietly in the camp, listening to the right Ichisuke tell everyone how Tokugawa Ieyasu rescued "Tokugawa Ieyasu". Looking at the various mixed expressions on the faces of Ashigaru and the monks, Burning Sky also laughed to himself, his voice was still very small, but Burning Sky heard it very clearly, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a lingering sound.
In the afternoon, Burning Sky and his men quietly stayed in the camp to recuperate. Extremely bored, Burning Sky got up and said to everyone, "My lord, that is, His Royal Highness Nobunaga, ordered Niwa-sama to attack Imagata Castle before the year, so that everyone can go home before the year and do not have to endure the wind and snow in the cold winter. After hearing the words of the burning sky, the crowd was stopped by the stern eyes of the samurai before they could get excited.
The days of peace of mind soon passed, and Shibata Katsuie also led 2,000 Ono troops to the city of present-day Katata Castle within two days, and successfully joined Niwa Nagahide, and the army of Akechi Mitsuhide also broke through the siege of Sakamoto Castle by the shogunate army, and the tripartite forces of the Oda family converged under present-day Kanada Castle. The converging forces were naturally led by the old Shibata Katsuya of the Oda family.
After a brief meeting, Shibata Katsuie launched a siege on Imagata Castle. In the winter, the battle of the cage city of Imakenda began in this way in anticipation of the burning of the sky. With such a siege weapon as the big tube, Shibata Katsuya naturally won't abandon it, and when attacking Kotani Castle, everyone has seen the power of the big tube. No one would leave the big barrel unused and let their samurai and ashigaru take their lives to fill the trenches (壕堀) under the castle.
So Burning Sky and the others were lined up behind the big cylinder team, watching how the big cylinder team destroyed the walls of today's Jiantian Castle. Some of the ashigaru still couldn't recover long after the launch of the big tube, and the burning sky was through the thick smoke in front of him, looking at the broken walls of Kinda Castle, speculating whether it would cause more damage if he threw the baked jade into the castle.
However, the large barrel team had limited ammunition and needed to cool the chambers, so after four rounds of bombardment, Shibata Katsuie began to throw troops into the battlefield. Since the Burning Sky did not show its head to compete for the first hand of the siege, the Burning Sky was placed in the third echelon of the siege. Looking at the first and second echelons of the preemptive service in front of him, he turned to Suzuki Heavy Industries and Sukeemon and asked, "Do you think that the family needs several echelons to attack Ninomaru in the castle?" ”
Sukeemon looked at the badly damaged Imakata Castle in front of him, shook his head and didn't speak. And Suzuki Heavy Industries said to the head of the fire and said: "Lord, is it not appropriate to win or lose without a battle?" After listening to the words of the two, Burning Sky also shook his head and said: "It's really inappropriate to say victory or defeat before the battle, so let's keep up with the pace ahead!" ”
