Outside the castle, Michitoshi Nagai looked very annoyed, he had already carried out four attacks, but he had not yet attacked the fence, although he was angry in his heart, but he was confident that as long as he launched one or two more attacks, the defenders would completely collapse, so he asked the ashigaru to rest for a while, and strive to take the castle in one fell swoop when the next attack came.

Looking at the enemy dozens of meters away, the clan did not feel excited about repelling the enemy again and again, but was very anxious, although there are still nearly 500 or so Ashigaru under his command, and they are now fully equipped, but now Ashigaru has no morale at all, if it weren't for the high reputation of Wasuka Koroku among them, if they could still suppress them for the time being, otherwise they would have escaped long ago.

Looking at these ashigaru, the clan secretly made up his mind that after this battle was over, he would also train a strong army to come out. In his eyes, those so-called flags are not counted on at all, let alone peasants and soldiers, should he advise Nobunaga to separate soldiers and peasants after he returns? Alas! I'd better wait until I get back alive.

Inside the fence of Sumamata Castle, the clan clan looked back and saw that most of the outer walls of Sumamata Castle had now been built, but if you wanted to rely on them to defend, it was obviously not realistic.

"My lord, the enemy is rushing again." Toshiya Maeda, who was in the north, shouted loudly.

After Maeda Toshiya's voice, the famous childish, bloodstained ashigaru, threw down the spear in his hand, turned around and ran to the back of the formation. He had never seen such a bloody scene, not even when he was a bandit. At that time, he was only in charge of issuing orders by Aoyama Shinchi's side, and he obviously didn't know much about the cruelty of war.

That's often the case, if no one escapes, everyone can hold on, but if one person escapes, it will cause the whole line to collapse.

The enemy had already rushed in front of him, and when the defenders saw that someone had fled, they suddenly became a little unstable in their position, and gradually had the intention of retreating. The clan quickly rushed towards the ashigaru who was fleeing in a panic, and the knife fell from his hand, and a human head rolled to the ground. The headless body took two more steps forward with the momentum and fell to the ground motionless.

The clan clan was stained red by the blood spurting from his neck, and the ashigaru people all paid attention to the ashigaru who escaped, and they also saw the bloody scene just now, and saw that the Takayama clan was all red behind him, like a killing god, and the ashigaru temporarily cut off the idea of escaping. However, after a night of defensive operations, when the enemy rested, they did not dare to rest, so it was obvious that their physical strength could not keep up, and the movements of their hands slowed down a lot, and more than 10 ashigaru were killed in an instant.

"Lord, enemy reinforcements have arrived!" Koroku Beesuka, who was defending to the west, pointed westward.

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of his finger and saw that hundreds of enemies were coming, and seeing that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, the morale of the defenders fell to zero, and they began to retreat.

Seeing that the enemy was about to attack the fence, but something unexpected happened, and these reinforcements did not attack the fence, but killed the attacking enemy, and one of the samurai in full clothes kept shouting: "Brother Wasuka, the younger brother will come to the aid of the right emon." "The samurai was extremely brave, and just by shouting, he had already killed two ashigaru.

Bee Suga Xiaoliu said excitedly: "Lord, it's Maeno Nagayasu, our reinforcements have arrived." ”

Seeing this, the clan no longer hesitated, and shouted excitedly: "The reinforcements have arrived, as long as we repel this wave of enemy attacks, we will win, hold on!" Resist! ”

The Ashigaru people, who had no intention of fighting, were demoralized when they saw that the reinforcements they had been waiting for had finally arrived, and they used all their strength to slowly move forward, slashing the enemy troops who had rushed into the fence and regaining their positions.

The enemy attacking from the west was flanked from the front and rear, and was the first to be routed and fled towards the main camp, while the other two attacking Ashigaru saw that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and they had no intention of fighting, so they fled back.

Nagai Michitoshi saw clearly in this battle, and when he found that the enemy's reinforcements were only a few hundred peasant soldiers, he immediately stopped the fleeing Ashigaru and prepared to fight again, but the effect was not good.

Ashigaru ignored and dissuaded him from continuing to flee to the rear through his main formation. Seeing this, Nagai Michitoshi was helpless, and he had to lead the samurai of this camp, and the flag retreated backwards, until the nineteen bars, only to collect some of the defeated soldiers, and these ashigaru together were still more than 800 people left, and the rest of the ashigaru had long been missing.

Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Nagai Michitoshi sent people back to Inabayama Castle to want Saito Ryuko to report his revenge, while continuing to collect the defeated soldiers. ,

Inside the fence of Sumamata Castle, Maeno Nagayasu jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the clan and the four samurai including Wasuka Koroku, and said excitedly to Wasuka Koroku: "Big brother, little brother is late, so big brother is frightened!" ”

Bee Suga Xiaoliu looked very excited, and Da Lu said with a smile: "Ha Luha, it's good to come, it's good to come, I'll introduce you, this is my father-in-law, Takayama clan, this is Maeda Toshi, this is Yamauchi Ichitoyo." Wasuka Koroku quickly introduced the samurai next to him, Xiang Maeno Nagayasu.

"I've heard the name of Takayama for a long time, and I'm afraid that only Takayama-sama, who is known as the fox of Owari by the world, can make such an immortal achievement."

Seeing that he spoke a lot of compliments, and did not mean loyalty, he felt a pity in his heart, although Maeno Nagayasu was not as good as Maeda Toshiya, Bee Suga Koroku, but it was much stronger than Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and his knife skills were a must, not much inferior to Bee Suga Koroku, although it was slightly worse in other aspects, but it was barely a first-class talent, but the other party had 1500 stone Zhixing, much more than himself, like such a person, even if he opened his mouth to recruit, he would never agree to be loyal, and then not only lost face, If you still make a bad deal with this person, then it's not worth it.

Thinking of this, the clan said: "Lord Maeno is polite, if you don't come to help in time, Sumamata Castle is in danger, please rest assured, after seeing the lord, I will definitely mention the merits of the lord more, and I will not let the lord and his soldiers chill." ”

Maeno Nagayasu was overjoyed after hearing this, and praised the high righteousness of the clan again and again.

As the sky brightened, the outer walls of Sumata Castle were finally completed, and since there were not many materials left, the clan did not build a castle tower in the castle, but asked craftsmen to build a longhouse, one for each of the seats, and high turrets at the four corners of the wall to prevent the enemy from attacking again.

Maeno Nagayasu said many times that he led his subordinate Ashigaru to guard outside the city, but the clan pushed it but saw that Ashigaru was tired of defending the city, so he no longer shirked and entered the Sumamata Castle with the remaining more than 400 Ashigaru. After a while, everyone staggered against the wooden wall and entered the dream.

Not long after the clan fell asleep, a Ashgaru who was defending the castle came to report that Oda Nobunaga himself had led an army of 2,500 men outside Sumamata Castle. After hearing this, the clan reluctantly stood up, rubbed his red eyes and walked out of the city.
