"Kiyomoto Shirai! Attack with your people! Outside Tazawa City, Spoo Quan shouted loudly!

"Hah!" Shirai Kiyomoto turned around and said to Ashigaru behind him, "Attack!" ”

"Wow!"

Shirai Kiyomoto is a retainer of the Barnyard family, the lord of Nabekura Castle, and this time he cooperated with the Spo family to send troops, and the Barnyard Kanharu family sent Shirai Kiyomoto with 100 people to assist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shirai Kiyomoto commanded 100 Ashigaru under his command and began to attack Tazawa Castle, and in Tazawa Castle, Tozawa Moriyoshi anxiously shouted at Ashigaru behind him, "Release the arrow!" ”

More than a dozen arrows were scattered from the city, but they did not cause any real damage. Tazawa Castle's Ashigaru is a standing ashigaru under Totoki Yoshimori, but there are relatively few archers, and Tozawa Moriyoshi can only command 100 troops as an ashigaru general, although there are now more than 100 troops in Tazawa Castle, but some of them are temporarily mobilized peasant soldiers, so on the whole, the combat effectiveness of the troops under Tozawa Moriyoshi is not high, plus there are not too many archers to effectively suppress the besieging side, so the situation in Tazawa Castle is not very good.

Shirai Kiyomoto didn't have much effort to rush to Tazawa Castle with Ashigaru, which was built in a pass area east of Lake Tazawa, so the scale of Tazawa Castle was not large, but because it was surrounded by mountains on both sides, if you wanted to attack Tazawa Castle, you could only attack from the front of Tazawa Castle.

"Kill!" Shirai Kiyomoto shouted, and the ashigaru behind him crossed Shirai Kiyomoto and began to attack.

Tazawa Castle only has Honmaru and Ninomaru, and the castle tower is only a rudimentary castle tower, plus the scale is not large, it is that only 30 people can be placed on the castle wall with 100 people of Tozawa Moriyoshi, and the rest of the ashigaru is assigned as a reserve by Tozawa Moriyoshi.

The Shirai Kiyomoto team on the besieging side launched the offensive very smoothly, and several ashigaru climbed the castle tower in a short time.

Tozawa Moriyoshi put together half of the standing army and half of the peasant army, so that although the combat effectiveness was not high, with the addition of the standing ashigaru, he could barely maintain the defense on the city wall.

"Kill!" Tozawa Moriyoshi held up the spear in his hand and stabbed down a Ashgaru who was trying to climb the castle wall, and before he could retract the spear, another Ashgaru climbed up, but fortunately a standing eyed soldier next to Tozawa Moriyoshi quickly made up for it.

The walls of Tazawa Castle are not high, and they are made of earth and wooden planks, so it is easy to climb up, and it didn't take long for more than 10 ashigaru to climb up and fight with the ashigaru of Tazawa Castle.

"Ahh A peasant soldier from Tian Zecheng let out a cry of pain, and fell down unwillingly after being shot several times, and a standing guard beside him hurriedly filled the vacancy and maintained the front.

In fact, everyone, including Tozawa Moriyoshi, understood that the 100 people in Tazawa Castle alone would not be able to hold it anyway, after all, in addition to the Shirai Kiyomoto team that was besieging the city, there were also 500 troops of the Spo family who were eyeing the battle, and they could join the battle at any time.

Of course, Tozawa Moriyoshi did not intend to defend the castle to the death, and now what Tozawa Moriyoshi had to do was to delay the fall of Tazawa Castle as much as possible, so as to leave time for Totoki Yoshimori and others in the rear to prepare.

In less than half an hour, the first team under Tozawa Moriyoshi had no combat effectiveness, and there were seven or eight casualties, and the ashigaru of Shirai Kiyomoto's team also had about 10 casualties.

"The first team retreats, and the second team goes up!" Tozawa Moriyoshi seized a gap between enemy attacks and said loudly.

"Hah!" For a while, the ashigaru on the castle wall began to retreat from the castle tower, and the second team of ashigaru under the castle began to climb the castle tower.

Under Tazawa Castle, Shirai Kiyogen looked at Tazawa Castle in front of him with an ugly face, originally thinking that he could capture the castle with only one charge, but he didn't expect that Tazawa Castle was still standing after losing more than a dozen ashigaru!

"Rush up!" Shirai Kiyomoto yelled loudly.

"Hah!" The barnyard family Ashigaru, who had originally stayed by Shirai Kiyomoto's side, also joined the battle, and for a while, the small walls of Tazawa Castle were covered with the ashigaru of the barnyard family.

At this time, Spo Quangao in the rear looked at the situation on the battlefield expressionlessly, and the pig on the side came to Spo Quangao's side anxiously and said, "Father, why don't you attack with the whole army, and let Shirai Kiyomoto waste time?" You must know that the Onodera family should also launch an attack now, and if the Onodera family is allowed to seize most of the Tsugawa family, won't the main family lose a lot? ”

"There's no need to rush!" Spo Tsukaku smiled and said, "Tazawa Castle is not worthy of the family's Ashigaru to play, we have to face Umezawa Castle and Komatsuyama Castle in the future, which is a castle that is difficult to capture." As for Tazawa Castle, let the ashigaru of the barnyard family fill it with his life. After saying that, a rare flush appeared on Spoquan's aging face.

After listening to this, the pig asked puzzledly, "But there is really no need for this family to waste time here?" Tian Ze Castle, which can be captured directly, why waste time? ”

"Humph!" Spoquan snorted coldly, "If we take the city in a row from the beginning, then the next thing we will have to face is the main force of the Tsugawa family, and then the pressure on the Onodera family will be weakened, and the Onodera family will be cheapened!" ”

"And the territory of the Onodera family is not far from the Tsugawa family's base, if I were Tsugawa Soji, I would definitely go to block the Onodera family's offensive first, so what am I anxious about?"

"Hah!" Only then did the pig show an expression of admiration, "It's still my father's foresight!" ”

"Hmm." Spo's expression of confidence turned to the battlefield again.

The situation of Tazawa Castle is still in a state of stalemate, and although the ashigaru of the Shirai Kiyomoto team can easily climb the castle tower, it is blocked by Tozawa Moriyoshi with Ashigaru strongly, and the casualties on both sides continue.

"No backwards!" Tozawa Moriyoshi angrily scolded several retreating peasant soldiers, and then rushed up and slashed down a ashigaru who was sticking a spear into the body of the Tsugawa family peasant soldier, and then shouted again at the castle tower, "The third team! ”

With the entry of the third team of Ashigaru, Ashigaru under Shirai Kiyomoto was once again repulsed.

"Bastard!" Shirai Kiyomoto roared angrily, "What are you afraid of? Follow me! ”

After saying that, Shirai Kiyomoto pulled out the sword on his waist and rushed into the battlefield, rushing to the castle tower in the blink of an eye.

"Kill!" Shirai Kiyomoto rushed into the enemy formation first, and the sharp sword slashed through, harvesting several Tsugawa family ashigaru one after another. Tozawa Moriyoshi, who was not far away, heard the movement and looked back, his eyes were clear, and he suddenly gave up a few barnyard family ashishiki and rushed towards Shirai Kiyomoto.

"I am the Tsugawa family ashigaru general Tozawa Moriyoshi, come to the general name!" Tozawa Moriyoshi shouted loudly as he ran.

Shirai Kiyomoto turned around when he heard this, and responded, "The barnyard Kan family's ashigaru general, Shirai Kiyomoto, came to ask for advice!" ”

Then the swords in the hands of Tozawa Moriyoshi and Shirai Kiyomoto collided violently, bursting out with fierce sparks........... (To be continued.) )
