Chapter Twenty-Five: The Shallow Well Counts

At the moment of the gunshot, Burning Sky subconsciously lowered his head to dodge, and then the sound of the wall being bombarded by the iron cannon's salmon projectiles came from the surroundings. Burning Sky glanced back at the Seahorse Yijia in the surrounding roar, and the Seahorse Yijia saw it and said to the Burning Sky: "Don't worry, my lord, when I was building the wall, I had already taken into account the bombardment of the iron cannon, not only built the wall with two layers, but also added soil in between, and the Sanmon Pill of the ordinary iron cannon could not penetrate the wall at all." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the Seahorse Family, but unfortunately the Seahorse Family didn't know what it meant. While listening to the sound of the iron cannon, Burning Sky calculated the distance of the Asai army with the experienced standing stand.

The Asai iron cannons who attacked Yokoyama kept loading and firing projectiles, but they didn't hear any noise in Yokoyama. After listening to the report of his samurai, Asai Ryo pointed at Yokoyama Castle with a sword and said, "The Oda army has been suppressed by our army, and you are all for the glory of the Asai family!" As soon as Asai RyΕ«'s voice fell, several samurai around him rushed towards Yokoyama with ten-character guns or knives.

Then Kaga's disciples combined to lift the big bumper and follow closely behind Ashigaru, who was rushing forward, and also rushed towards Yokoyama. The Asai army was like a rainbow for a while, and even the iron cannons charged towards Hengshan with iron cannons.

Ming Shan, who was secretly observing on the wall, saw the Asai army charging, and immediately said to the burning sky under the wall: "Senior brother, the enemy army has attacked!" After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately said to the peasant soldiers behind the door: "Open the door!" ”

The Asai army in the charge suddenly saw the gate of Yokoyama being opened, and was a little stunned, but then shouted excitedly and rushed towards the wide open gate. Burning Sky looked at the Asai samurai and Ashigaru who were the first to rush forward, and shouted to the peasant soldiers lined up in three rows behind the door, "Shoot the arrows!" ”

In an instant, dozens of arrows flew straight out of the Yokoyama barrage, shooting the Asai samurai who was charging forward into a hedgehog. Then the samurai of Asai rushed up one after another, and after the peasant soldiers of Jiashan Village also shot seven or eight waves of arrows one after another, they were already a little out of strength, and when they saw this, they shouted: "The peasants change weapons!" When the peasants and soldiers heard this, they immediately ran from behind the door to both sides, and then took two guns and hid behind the Hengshan Gate.

Without the interference of arrows, the Asai army was flying fast, and in a short time it had already rushed to the middle of the Yokoyama. A shallow i samurai, who was originally behind, saw that his colleagues in front of him were all killed in battle, and he somehow became a gong to rush to Yokoyama, and was just about to shout his name loudly in excitement, when he was stabbed in the heart by the peasant soldiers on both sides behind the door.

At this time, Burning Sky shouted to the standing reserve behind him: "Charge with me!" After hearing this, Zhong Changbei held the two guns in his hands and followed the burning air and rushed out of the Hengshan barrage, and the Haima Yoshiya also said to the peasant soldiers: "I will wait for the gate to be held behind the gate, and wait for the Lord Hiei Mountain to lead the enemy into the bar. ”

Burning Sky led Fuyu Mingjiro and twenty standing guards to rush into the Kaga disciples who were carrying the charge of hitting the wood, these disciples saw Burning Sky dressed as a monk, and they were a little stunned for a while, and the fang official standing in front of the disciples shouted loudly to the burning sky who rushed to the sky: "How can you go away with the Buddha and be with the Buddha..."

When the disciples saw that the priest would return to the land of bliss, they shouted from their mouths, "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" "Rushing towards the incineration of the killing of the officials, but even the most determined disciples cannot withstand the sharp swords and guns, and the poorly equipped Kaga disciples can not be the standing opponents of soldiers of a similar profession. After killing the twenty or thirty Kaga disciples who were carrying the crashing wood, they killed a few monks and soldiers who came to snatch the corpse of the fangguan.

Since the Void Burners did not dare to go deeper, after cutting off a few heads, they immediately retreated to the Constant Guard. Moreover, the Burning Sky and the others are not invulnerable, and there are only eleven of the twenty standing standers left, and the surviving standing ones are also wounded. The left thigh and chest of the burning air were slashed by the naginata, and Akijiro Fushiwa was stabbed in the back, but fortunately, both of them were protected by armor, and the injuries were not serious.

Subsequently, under the command of Asai Ryōkin, the Kaga disciples were removed and repaired, and the Asai iron cannons formed a formation and fired fiercely at Yokoyama again, and the burning of the sky immediately made the peasants close the gate, but it was already a little late. The peasant soldiers who went to close the door were immediately hit by the flying projectiles and fell to the ground violently.

At this time, a cavalry team rushed into the main formation of the Asai army, and after listening to the report of the horse Huizhong who came to the formation, he looked at the direction of Yokoyama Castle and Yokoyama and smiled, and then waved the military equipment in his hand.

The Asai army, who was attacking Yokoyama Castle, suddenly heard the sound of retreat from the main formation, and Anyangji Jingshi laughed and shouted, "Everyone's hard work, retreat!" Then the Asai army, which was attacking Yokoyama Castle Honmaru, began to retreat, and the Ashigaru men of Yokoyama Castle, who had been fighting, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground and breathed in the air full of gunsmoke and blood.

The burning air, which had failed to close the gate for the first time, was about to close the gate with his standing equipment, but he heard a sound from the Asai main array. Burning Sky climbed up to the watchtower in surprise, looked at the Asai army who was receding like a tide, and asked Fushiwa Akijiro who climbed up later, "Akijiro, I'm not dazzled, right?" Fushiwa Meijiro's voice trembled at this time, and he said excitedly to the burning sky: "My lord is real, the enemy army has retreated!" ”

The Asai army gathered in the night and gradually retreated to the north, and before leaving, Asai Nagamasa came to Yokoyama Castle on horseback and shouted at Kinoshita Hideyoshi in Yokoyama Castle, "Thank you, Kinoshita-sama, I will take my leave today!" With that, Asai Nagamasa returned on horseback and returned to Kita-Omi with the remaining troops in his early 2,000s.

Yokoyama Castle and Yokoyama were vigilant all night against the sudden return of the Asai Army, but they obviously thought too much. On the afternoon of the second day, Kinoshita Hideyoshi summoned the Burning Sky to Yokoyama Castle, and the samurai, who had been somewhat wounded, sat in the castle tower with gloomy faces. Kinoshita Hideyoshi took the letter he had just received, and said to everyone with a gloomy face: "The reinforcements of Shibata-sama and Niwa-sama were attacked by the Asai and Asakura coalition forces on the way, and suffered heavy losses. ”

Then the half-guard of Takenaka knelt in front of Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said: "My lord, I failed to see through the tricks of Asai Asakura, all of them were in the fault of the next, and I made a wish..."

"Half-guard!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi got up and broke off the words of the burning air, and then Kinoshita Hideyoshi said: "It's not the fault of the half-guards, it's my fault, I didn't expect that the spies in the Asai army were deceived." ”

The half-guard of Takenaka slowly raised his head and said: "This is a plan of 'striking the east and attacking the west', but I didn't find out until last night, and I hope that the lord will punish him!" ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's face gradually improved, and he walked down from the top of the castle tower, and said excitedly to the Hanbei and the samurai, "Hanbei, everyone, I will definitely repay the humiliation of this battle!" ”

All the samurai bowed down and said loudly, while Burning Sky bowed his head slightly, looking sideways at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was like the sun at the moment.
