Chapter 23: The Cage City (2)

Ryo Asai followed behind the charging spearhead with five hundred iron guns, and gradually rushed towards the foot of Yokoyama Castle. Yokoyama Castle also quickly discovered the charging iron cannon Ashigaru, and hurriedly beckoned Yushigaru to shoot at them. However, the arrows shot out of Yokoyama Castle were blocked by the incarnatal kasa and bounced off the ground around them.

The second burst of gunfire rang out in Yokoyama Castle, and the spears who rushed in front of the iron cannon Ashigaru were shot and fell to the ground, and the entire Asai Army's offensive was discharged. But soon, Asai Ryo asked his iron cannon Ashigaru to line up in two columns, and while the iron cannon Ashigaru in Yokoyama Castle was loading ammunition, he launched an iron cannon shot at Yokoyama Castle. In an instant, the sound of five hundred iron cannons firing resounded in the sky.

Burning Sky, who was watching the enemy's situation in the Yokoyama barrage, was startled and hurriedly looked at Yokoyama Castle, which was covered in gunsmoke. At this time, the walls of Hengshan Castle had been shot into thousands of holes, and after a short period of shock, the people in Hengshan Castle who were shot by the projectile suddenly screamed.

After a brief stagnation, the surviving iron cannon Ashigaru in Yokoyama Castle continued to reload gunpowder and projectiles at the urging of the group leader. For a moment, there was silence on the battlefield, and the iron cannons on both sides were nervously loaded, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down their faces and dripped on the blood-covered ground. Then it melted into the blood that ran rampant.

Then I don't know if it was a "Shoot!" from the other side. This subtle silence was broken in an instant, and continuous gunfire came out from the front of the two armies, and the smoke of gunpowder slowly drifted into the sky. This time, the Asai family's iron cannon Ashigaru almost smashed the walls of Yokoyama Castle's Ninomaru into a leaky sieve, and through the broken walls, you can even see that the blood has stained the inside of the walls into a red blood.

At this time, the burning sky suddenly heard the sound of the conch horn coming from Hengshan City, and hurriedly jumped down from the watchtower, shouting to the people under him: "Open the gate and charge the Asai family!" Out of the line! With that, he pulled Mingshan out of the ranks, and said to him, "Mingshan, you stay in the fortress, and if you are captured, you will say that you are the samon of Hiei Mountain." ”

At the moment when Burning Sky finished speaking and turned around, the gate of the Burning Sky was also opened, and after Burning Sky roared, he rushed out of the Burning Sky first. Kaima Yoshiya and Fushiwa Akijiro also rushed out one after another, and then all the standing guards and peasant soldiers also rushed out.

Asai Nagamasa heard the sound of the conch horn coming from Yokoyama Castle in this formation, and thought that Yokoyama Castle was going to open the city gate and charge, but he didn't expect that no one in Yokoyama Castle came out, but a team of people rushed out from the small pole on the side. Then Ma Hui in this formation said to Asai Nagamasa: "My lord, the enemy army is less than a hundred. After hearing this, Asai Nagamasa said to the Asai Gui beside him: "Jing Gui, lead a hundred families to annihilate the enemy army!" ”

When Burning Sky and everyone rushed to a place about 200 meters away from the Asai coalition army, Asai Tsuri had already led a hundred foot light out of the Asai army formation and rushed towards Burning Sky and the others. Seeing this, Burning Sky stopped everyone, and then said to the Seahorse Yoshiya and Fushiwa Akijiro: "After the Yoshiya receives the agricultural equipment, Mingjiro receives the standing equipment!" ”

After everyone obeyed the order, they immediately formed a military formation, and the burning sky stood beside the standing guard in the front row, watching Asai Nori's 100 guns rush closer and closer. The Seahorse Yijia yelled, "Release the arrows! All the peasants and soldiers in Jiashan Village stuck their guns on the ground, pulled up their rattan bows, and fired arrows at the rushing Asai army.

Seeing countless arrows flying from the sky, Ashigaru Asai immediately lowered his head and used the array hat on his head to resist the arrows. After the front row of the burning sky saw this, he shouted to the peasants: "Put on the rattan bow on your back and pick up the two guns!" The peasant soldiers immediately put the rattan bow on their backs, picked up the two guns, and stood behind the standing guard.

When the Asai army was still less than fifty meters, Fushiwa Akijiro shouted, "Shoot! This time, the Asai Army didn't have the luck of last time, and the projectile passed through Ashigaru's rudimentary Gushi, drilled into Ashigaru's body, and then drilled out again, and Ashigaru Asai, who rushed to the front row, was instantly knocked to the ground. Burning Sky then shouted loudly: "Standing stand back, the peasant soldiers come forward." Zhong Changbei carried iron cannons and ran behind the peasant soldiers in a bit of a panic, and the peasant soldiers were at the front of the army formation with two guns.

Ashigaru Asai stepped over the body of the robe and continued to rush towards the army formation that burned the sky. At this time, Burning Sky also held the naginata with both hands, pointed the tip of the knife at the rushing Asai Ashigaru, and said to the peasant soldiers and the seahorse Yoshika, "The peasant soldiers charge!" ”

Then the two forces in the wild rush converged, and one ashigaru was stabbed to the ground with a single shot, and then he swung his sword and slashed down three ashigaru in a row. The rest of the peasant soldiers also fought with the Ashigaru of the Asai family. During the fight, Burning Sky saw Asai Akiri, who was looking for the enemy leader like himself, and after the two met their eyes, they determined their respective prey.

Burning Sky rushed towards Asai Iri with the naginata knife in his hand, and Asai Masasumi also held the Tai Knife to meet the Burning Void. The weapons of the two collided together in an instant, and Burning Sky relied on the advantage of strength to force Asai Gui to retreat with one blow, and Burning Sky saw that Asai Masamune's strength was not as good as his own, so he bullied the enemy with his strength. Asai Masasumi soon became overwhelmed, and after struggling to block the blow of the Burning Sky, he turned around and tried to flee backwards.

Burning Sky hurriedly threw the naginata knife in his hand, and before Asai Jing Gui could run a few steps, he was stabbed to the ground by the naginata flying from behind. Seeing this, Burning Sky drew his knife and strode forward, cutting off the head of Asai Masasumi with a knife, and then lifted it up and shouted according to the name tag on it: "Asai Saemon Masasumi has been taken!" With that, he took the head of Asai Kiri's head in his hand, and danced his naginata with one hand to kill from the ashigaru who came to fight for the corpse.

Ashigaru Asai snatched back the headless body of Asai Kiri, and then fled towards the military formation of the former Asai family. Seeing this, Burning Sky shouted to everyone: "Don't chase after the poor, the troops will be collected!" After hearing this, everyone didn't have time to cut off the enemy's head, and hurriedly returned to the Hengshan Fortress where Mingshan was alone.

At this time, the Asai army was about to attack Yokoyama Castle, Kinoshita Hideyoshi looked at the Asai army fleeing in the distance, and shouted to the people in Ninomaru: "Meishamen has defeated the Asai army for a while, and has successfully won the head of the enemy general. "The originally low morale of Yokoyama Castle Ninomaru instantly increased, and the two armies formed a stalemate in front of Yokoyama Castle Gate.

Asai Nagamasa in this formation looked at the headless corpse of Asai Gui who was burned to take the head, and saw that the iron artillery with considerable losses gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and then waved the military equipment in his hand. Then three golden sounds sounded in the Asai army formation, and after hearing the Asai army, who was confronting the Oda army in front of the Yokoyama Castle Gate, he was vigilant against the Oda army in front of him while slowly approaching the Asai army formation behind.

Seeing the aggressive Asai army gradually retreating, a huge cheer rang out in Yokoyama Castle.
