Chapter 32 The Wooden Fence Shows Its Might
An hour later, seeing that the wooden fence was about to be closed, but suddenly there was a rush to report that the enemy was attacking from the north, and the clan had long known that the enemy would attack from the north or west, so it was these two wooden fences that were built first. Anyway, it should come sooner or later, and the clan has already been mentally prepared, and there is not much panic.
After coming to the north with the three retainers including Wasuka Koroku, they saw that 2 or 300 hundred meters away from the opposite side, the enemy was assembling, and the number was about 500. However, seeing that most of these people were peasant soldiers armed with bamboo guns, the clan didn't take them too seriously.
was able to summon 500 troops, thanks to Yu Zhuyue's long-term defense when he was about to leave the battle, and he moved his heart. When he returned to the nineteen-jou temple, he sent someone to inform the nearby samurai or wealthy clans, and began to mobilize Ashigaru, the surrounding samurai clans had already discovered the enemy, so the banners under his command had been mobilized, but because there were not many flags in each family, they did not dare to attack rashly. After Takegoshi told them that the lord had given the order to attack, they went out en masse.
Looking at the more than 500 ashigaru outside the fence, the clan showed disdain, the Saito family is not joking, Lao Tzu built a city under their noses, and actually sent such two or three small miscellaneous fish, which is too contemptuous.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy had already rushed over, but the clan's subordinate Ashigaru had already made preparations and was waiting for the enemy to come and die. I saw a samurai wearing green armor in the opposing formation rushing to the front of the team, shouting: "The Saito family's general Takegoshi Hisamori has come to ask for the head of the Takayama clan." ”
Seeing that the enemy was so arrogant, Bee Suga Xiaoliu knelt on the ground and saluted and said, "My lord, my subordinates have not made an inch of success since they surrendered, please allow your subordinates to fight." ”
"The subordinates are also willing to fight, please ask the lord for permission."
"What kind of coaxing, just know that Lu Dao will go to war, go out to fight, if you go to war, then Lao Tzu's wooden fence is not repaired in vain, hurry up and go separately to command the defense, if anyone puts the enemy army in, don't blame me for being ruthless in the Gaoshan clan when the time comes."
The enemy launched three charges in a row, but the wooden fence was not built in vain, and each time they approached, except for a dozen corpses, they did not have any effect on the fortification.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy's dead ashigaru has exceeded one percent, and the clan has lost less than 10 people on this side, just when the enemy charges for the fourth time, the enemy general was finally taken by Yamauchi Kazutoyo across the wooden fence, the clan looked at the corpse of Takegoshi Jiushou on the ground, and couldn't help but think of the Takenaka half-guard, and secretly thought in his heart, they are all eighteen generals of Nishiminon, compared with the half-guard of Takenaka, how can the gap be so big.
The enemy saw that the general had been killed, so no one was stupid enough to continue the attack, and fled to the north, and the clan not only picked up the enemy's weapons back, but also got back the bucket and river pockets worn by the dead ashigaru, and the hats and other things that did not fall. After rewarding all of these things to Ashigaru, who was brave in the battle just now, let them rest for the next battle. The clan always felt that it was impossible for the enemy to send only such a few people.
At this moment, Nagai Michitoshi had already led 2,000 Ashigaru in the direction of Sumamata, and in his opinion, although the enemy had 2,000 people, most of them must be people, so this was also the reason why he only brought 2,000 troops. The reason why he dared to speak wildly in front of Saito Ryuxing.
Along the way, Nagai Michitoshi already knew that Takegoshi Higamori gathered the surrounding wealthy clans to launch an offensive against the Sumamata Oda army, he thought to himself, even if Takegoshi couldn't defend the Sumamata for a long time, it would cause huge losses to the enemy, with the mentality of picking up the cheap, Nagai Michitoshi and his retainers talked and laughed, it didn't look like going to war at all, it was more like going on an outing.
Just as he was about to arrive at Sumamata, Nagai Michitoshi immediately realized that he was afraid that the situation ahead was not as smooth as he thought, and he immediately stopped a junior samurai who was fleeing and asked, "What about Takegoshi Kumori?" What's ahead? ”
The junior samurai said in a panic: "Return... Back to my lord, Lord Takegoshi has been taken by the enemy, and our army has been defeated and retreated. ”
Nagai Michitoshi felt a little puzzled, could he have misestimated? There are so many enemies? No, in that case, how many people will build the city, and how long will this city be built? Thinking of this, he continued to ask: "How many enemy troops are there in front?" ”
"There are about 7 or 800 Ashigaru enemies, and the rest are people, but ......",
Hearing this low-level samurai, Nagai Michitoshi was anxious and asked sharply, "But what?" Say it! ”
"Yes, the enemy did not build the castle directly this time, but now built a wooden fence outside the castle to block our attack, and when our army launched the fourth attack, Takegoshi-sama was taken by an unknown samurai in the area. I saw that the other adults were retreating, so they also withdrew. ”
After listening to Nagai Michitoshi, although he felt that the circle of wooden fences was a little tricky, he didn't pay too much attention to it, the other party only had a few hundred troops, and it was simply wishful thinking to try to block the two thousand troops with a rough wooden fence. "Herald! The whole army is advancing at an accelerated pace. ”
At this time, the wooden fence outside the city has been all built, and more than 700 ashigaru under his command are leaning on the wooden stake to recover their strength, but the thousand people have no time to rest, they are building the outer wall of the castle, the outer wall can not be buried in the soil like a wooden fence, the outer wall not only can not have the slightest gap, and the height is also required to be the same, so the progress is quite slow, looking at the messy craftsmen fighting each other, the clan immediately thought of sectional construction, If you build a castle in this way, the speed will definitely increase a lot.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, if you don't want to bury this bone here, you must do it as soon as possible, after thinking of this, the clan did not dare to delay in the slightest, he immediately came to the middle of the construction site and began to shout at the craftsman. When the craftsmen saw the call of the adults, they put down their work one after another and gathered around the clan.
"You 1,000 people are divided into four teams as fast as possible, 250 people each, hurry!"
The craftsmen also knew that they were now working in the enemy's territory, so even for the sake of their own lives, they didn't dare to slow down the first half of the beat, and immediately began to do so. Seeing that the craftsmen had already divided the team, Clan Zongyou said: "Each team is divided into five teams, each team has 50 people, one team is responsible for selecting wood, one team is responsible for transportation, one team is responsible for digging the foundation, and one team is responsible for tamping the land. Each team of 250 people is responsible for building one side of the outer wall, and the team that is the first to build the wall will be rewarded with two dollars each, go quickly! ”
