Torii Pass is an important gateway into the hinterland of Nishishi-Shinano, with the Narai River flowing north to the east and the Kiso River flowing south to the west. In addition, with Mt. Oyu to the west and Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. to the south, there is only one side of the danger of facing the enemy.

It's a pity that the levels at this time are simply surrounded by a wooden fence and then a gate. In wartime, when the door is closed, it is locked.

In fact, it is also because there are no effective siege equipment in this era, and the attacker's forces cannot be used, so this kind of danger only needs a few hundred people to control, and it can withstand an enemy ten times its size.

The Hosokawa family's western route army, due to Kiso Yoshimasa's defection, soon passed through the Kiso family's territory. Gather tens of thousands of troops here and prepare to break through.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Takeda family were still on the way, and there were only 500 defenders in the torii pass, and the general of the castle was Ryoho, the younger brother of Takeda Katsuyori's favorite minister, Katsushibu. But in the face of the tens of thousands of Hosokawa troops outside the Torii Pass, he was not panicked at all, but was still very calm.

Because Ryoho learned that the Hosokawa West Route Army was not equipped with iron cannons, he felt that he could be a master and not open a thousand people.

Hosokawa Haruyuki rode on a horse and looked coldly at this small torii pass, which occupies a small area, but it is better than the terrain. The Hosokawa army, which was assembled behind him, waited for his order to attack the city immediately.

"Attack!" Haruyuki Hosokawa pulled out the sword at his waist and let out a loud shout, pointing directly at the Torii Pass opposite.

"Oh!" At the forefront was the Kiso army, which was customarily the first of the new surrenders.

"Archery!" Katsushi Kebe let out a loud shout, and a sparse bow shot out from within the torii pass.

Whoosh... Whoosh! Kiso's army had no professional training, and he only knew that he could rush with his head down, and he was shot down by this wave of arrows. Luckily, enemies are ranged and scarce, so they don't deal too much damage.

"Attack the gate! Fast! "Kiso Yoshimasa took the lead and focused on attacking the gate.

"Hold on! Latch! Hold the gate against them, and they won't be able to get in! "Ariga Matsudaira commanded the defenders to block the gate.

"Crash! Crash! Kiso Yoshimasa shouted loudly, urging his own peasants and soldiers.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! "The Kiso army slammed into the gate with all his might, all by manpower.

"Archery! Archery! Shoot them! "Ryoho Kibe concentrated his fire and attacked the enemy in front of the door.

Whoosh, although arrows are scarce, but the advantage is that the distance is very close, and almost the arrows hit.

Poof! "Uhh Kiso's arrows fell to the ground one after another.

"No backsliding! No backwards! Kiso Yoshimasa brandished the sword to suppress the formation, but the morale kept falling, and it was faintly loose.

"Damn! Offensive! Offensive! No backwards! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! "Kiso Yoshimasa was afraid that if he lost the first battle, the great credit would be discounted.

"Archery!" Masaharu Mikoda led Hosokawa to suppress the defenders.

Whoosh... Whizzing, the well-trained Hosokawa arched his bow and shot his arrows through the gaps in the wooden fence into the torii pass.

Poof! More than a dozen people were shot and killed, and the number of casualties continued to rise.

"Wooden shield! Wooden shield cover! Ryoho Kibe hurriedly brought in a large wooden plank to block the gap in the wooden fence.

"The doorman is here! Move! Move! A team of ashigaru hugged the door knocker and rushed up to support.

"Cover! Cover the door! Kiso Yoshimasa hurriedly ordered the Ashigaru group to protect the door-knocking wood.

"One, two, bump! One, two, bump! ”

Knock knock! Click! Knock knock! Click! The door clicked with a violent impact.

"Quick! Plus door top! Stand up to the gates! Kaga Matsudaira personally led the team to carry the big wooden roof and rushed to the door.

Wow! The wooden roofs were erected one by one, and the gates were firmly sealed.

"Turn it over! Flip over! Fast! "The gate could not be entered, and began to storm the fence in front of it.

"Kill!" The Kiso army began to climb over the wall and attack inward.

"Shoot! Drive them down! "Ryoho Kibe took the lead in spear lunging and stabbed an enemy with one shot.

"Oh!" The Takeda army stabbed the Kiso army one by one who was climbing over the fence.

"Kill! Kill! Attack it! Attack it! Kiso Yoshimasa stabbed through the wooden fence with a shot.

"Ahh With a scream, a Takeda ashigaru clutched his stomach in pain, where blood was gushing out.

Crackling, the two sides fought each other through the wooden fence, occasionally stabbing one person with a single blow.

After a fierce battle for half an hour, he was never able to break through.

"Hosokawa-sama, it seems that Kiso-sama can't take it, so let's attack it instead." Niwa Nagahide looked at the Kiso army, which was starting to weaken in attack, and took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the second wave of attacks.

"Hmm... Give him a little more time. Go, tell Kiso-sama that if you can't take it for another half an hour, the second team will attack. Hosokawa Haruyuki thought about it for a while, and decided to give Mu Yu Yoshimasa a chance, after all, Yoshimasa had also helped him in the strategy of Hida Country back then.

"Yes!" Soon, the heralds rushed to the front line and conveyed Hosokawa Haruyuki's order to Kiso Yoshimasa.

"Hmm..."Kiyu Yoshimasa blackened his face, and came to the gate that was being slammed, this time he tried his best to win the first move, if he won the torii pass, it would be the first achievement, and the two counties of Chikuma and Azumi would all be awarded to him.

"Get out of the way!" Mu Shu Yoshimasa dragged a foot light away, and personally carried the door knocker, and the Kiso family samurai on the side also took it together.

"Come on! Give me all the strength! One, two, bump! One, two, bump! "Mu Shu Yichang and the others hit the gate fiercely, if you want to take this place in half an hour, breaking through the gate is the fastest way.

Knock knock! Boom! Even if the gate is bolted and roofed, there are still bursts of sawdust that have been hit.

"Hosokawa-sama, it seems that the gate of Torii Pass is heavy, and it is not so easy to break through. It would be nice if the thunder artillery battalion was there, go up to a city gate and blast it, and everything would be solved. Hosokawa Motogen looked at Kiso's army, who was struggling to attack, his father Hosokawa Fujiken was very old, and he was sixty years old. Therefore, such expeditions and wars are all up to him.

"Yuanxian, wouldn't there be no war without iron cannons? The so-called striking iron also has to be hard itself! It's time for you to learn a good strategy! Hosokawa Haruyuki unceremoniously reprimanded the younger brother of the split family.

"Yes, yes, Hosokawa-sama taught me a lesson." Hosokawa Motoxian shrank his neck in fright, not daring to say anything more.

"Oh!" Suddenly, cheers were heard in front of him, and thanks to the unremitting efforts of Kiso Yoshimasa, the sturdy gate of Torii Pass was knocked open.

"Kill! Take down the torii pass! There's a reward for everyone! Mu Shu Yichang shouted excitedly, and he had to do it.

"Kill!" The morale of the Kiso army was greatly boosted and they flocked in.

"Good! Pass the order! Echizen and Kaga are going to be reinforced! Be sure to take down Torii Pass in one go! The command fan in Hosokawa Haruyuki's hand was pointed, and the Hosokawa army also swarmed up. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
