Chapter 269: Fanatical Sect
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Tsushima's Hosokawa Army was the first to attack Kogie Castle, which was located on a small island on the north side of Nagashima.
Guarding Kogie Castle was the local Hattori Party, which had sent troops to help Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Tsukasasa. The head of the family back then, Hattori Yuding, is long gone, and now it is Hattori Masamitsu who is in charge.
Bang bang bang! The sound of iron cannons was also heard on the surface of the Kiso River, and Hosokawa Nobumoto advanced by land and water, completely encircling Kogie Castle.
duang! Click! The Nine Ghosts Mototaka led the naval army and directly crashed into the military harbor of Kogie Castle, facing the tall Ataka ship of the Hosokawa Naval Army, the small boat of the Hattori Party was like a leaf in the angry waves, and it was weak and could not help the wind.
"Devon! Besiege! Seeing that the city wall was suppressed, Tao Qingxian personally led a large army to attack the city.
"Blasting a group! Sortie! "Hosokawa's city gate blasting has been tried and tested repeatedly, but as this weapon becomes more and more famous, I am afraid that it will be presented in the future, a specially restrained weapon for defending the city. But now, it is still very effective to fight an army that has never seen the world.
Poof... The familiar voice came from the city gate again, and the defenders behind the gate did not know that danger was coming, and still resisted the city gate one by one.
Boom! Click! The loud noises and the flickering firelight reflected the frightened faces of the defenders.
"Ahh Oh my legs! One of the defenders wailed in pain, and one of his legs was blown off.
"Uh... Ahem..."The other defender's injuries were even more terrifying, and his body was only half cut off, and his intestines were bleeding all over the ground.
"Mom... Damn! The defenders were so frightened that their faces turned green, what was the situation just now, was it a punishment from heaven?
"Kill... Kill! Tao Qingxian took the lead, and was the first to rush into Xiaomujiang City and kill the helpless defenders.
"Hahaha! The celebration of flowers is also coming! Takigawa Interests, dressed in strange costumes, rode a BMW "Matsukaze" and rushed into the city together. Raising his hand was a shot, stabbing an enemy in front of him, followed by a flick of the spear. Puff puff! There was a triple kill.
Later generations praised and said: The spear is a horizontal flower drifting, and the pine wind chases the moon with me. The world is like a dream, and it will leave its name forever.
"In Shimobayashizaki, please give me a lot of advice." Shigenobu Hayashizaki had a resolute face, and he fell in love with Hattori Masamitsu.
"Damn! Go to hell! Hattori Masamitsu was annoyed and ashamed, raised the sword in his hand, and slashed it viciously.
"Die." Hayashi Shigenobu's eyes were cold, and the speed in his hand was like lightning.
The sword flashed, and Hattori Masamitsu didn't see his movements clearly at all, only feeling his gaze jump high, and he saw the blue sky, and... His headless body.
"Kill! Destroy these rebels! Kanemaru Shoji, Nakamura Kazuji, Miyata Miyata Koji, and Oto Chinobu led a large number of standing guards also flocked to the castle.
At the same time, the Eastern Route Army besieged Sugaura Castle and Ichijiang Castle, and the Western Route Army besieged Otorii Castle and Katori Castle. And to the south, Murakami Motoyoshi led the naval army to besiege Kuwana Castle.
"Nan no Amitabha... The Buddha is watching us! Kill! Those who retreat will descend into Infernal Hell! "Xiaomujiang City, which was originally going well offensively, suddenly a monk wearing a monk's robe recited the Buddha's name and raised a large banner with the inscription: Those who enter will be reborn in bliss, and those who retreat will be infernal hell.
"Ahh Those who advance have eternal life! Kill! A fanatical believer shouted slogans, brandished a wooden stick and rushed out.
"Nan no Amitabha... Nan no Amitabha... Kill! Kill! Kill! "This is the land of Buddha, and all the people in the city are the most devout believers. For the sake of faith in his heart, the peasants, who were usually honest, picked up all the tools that could be used as weapons, such as nail rakes and wooden sticks, and rushed to Dewenbei with red eyes.
"Drink!" A monk shouted and slashed to death a German Ashigaru, and then was poked to the ground by two Ashigaru spears behind him, and three more Ashigaru came up to make up three shots in a row.
"Ahh A believer slashed his hoe on the head of a Hosokawa ashigaru, and blood was dripping immediately.
"Drink!" There was a coquettish reprimand, and even the women joined in with sticks.
"Report! Devon was blocked at the city gate, and the resistance in the city was fierce, and many old and young women and children went into battle with knives. ”
Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, this kind of resistance was something he didn't expect, he didn't want to kill too much, nor did he want his own elite to lose too much.
"Pass the order down, don't storm to avoid excessive losses. Turn the big tube over and give me a damn hit! I'd like to see if it's my iron cannons that are sharp, or their flesh is strong! "Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to take advantage of his own strengths, and it would be a fool not to use a gun.
"Yes! Big Cylinder Team! Come with me! "Suzuki Hideshige led a large iron artillery team into the city.
"Iron Artillery Team! Shoot! "Tsuda Sumasa led the Iron Artillery Corps and took over the attack of Dewenbei.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The Hosokawa Iron Artillery Brigade in the city was in full swing, and rows of male and female believers fell in pools of blood.
"Nan no Amitabha..." "Nan no Amitabha..."
The fanatical followers of the sect did not retreat but advanced, shouting slogans, rushing forward with their lives, and resisting the merciless bullets with their flesh and blood.
"Shoot backwards!" Tsuda was in command of the iron artillery team, and while fighting and retreating, he was forced out of Kogijiang Castle by the believers.
"My lord! Please let your subordinates lead Devon to attack again! Guarantee to take down this little little Mujiang City in one go! In the military tent, Tao Qingxian was covered in blood, and his shoulders were red and swollen from being beaten with wooden sticks, which shows how tragic the fighting in the city was.
"No, faith is a very evil thing, and it can make people burst out with unprecedented power. Well... I usually look at the military situation of my family, although the military discipline is strict, but I always feel that there is still something missing. Today, I finally know that the military soul is missing. Hosokawa Nobumoto's face was solemn, and the recent continuous battles made him feel a different feeling.
"The spirit of the army?" The Hosokawa family will talk a lot, but they don't understand the meaning.
"That's right, it's the spirit of the army! Through the battle with the Takeda family, I learned about the mountain of Shingenko, and he himself can be seen as a military spirit. Through the deeds of the followers of the sect today, I have seen that their faith is the soul of the army. ”
"The military spirit can be specific to a certain person, or it can be displayed by faith, which is a centripetal force, an explosive force, and a fearless force!" Hosokawa Nobumoto's voice was magnificent, and he felt a sublimating power filling his body.
"The spirit of the army..."
"Centripetal force..."
"Explosiveness..."
"Dreadnought... The retainers savored it, as if there was a door in front of them, which was about to open.
"It's better to... Emulate the Takeda family? The lord is the mountain? Is it the soul of the army? "Sanada Masayuki was the first to propose, a battle of the Hung Position, his father and two elder brothers were loyal to the Takeda family, he succeeded to the head of the Sanada family, and devoted himself to the Hosokawa clan. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
