Chapter 100: Blood and Tears
The number of troops brought by Kuroda Iekane and Nagano Masahei was only 200, and there were some casualties during the siege, and many were killed by bows and arrows just now, and now they can still stand and fight, maybe only about 100 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this passage can only accommodate four or five people to pass slowly, Tozawa Masayasu with a 50-person ashigaru blocked the intersection, and for a while Kuroda Iekane and others could not stand out at all.
Coupled with the arrows that kept shooting from the surrounding platforms, the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family fell one by one like cutting wheat.
"Ahh Another cry of pain reached Kuroda Iekane's ears, and Kuroda Iekane looked back to see that an arrow had pierced Nagano Masahei's throat.
"Lord Nagano! Bastard! Kuroda Iekane's heart burned with rage: "Kill!" "Kill!" Kill!" The Kuroda family took up and down with their knives and killed several Umezawa Castle Ashigaru in front of them one after another.
..........
"My lord, Lord Kuroda and Lord Nagano Masahi have been besieged in the city!" Takahashi Koke returned to the main camp and said to Tsugawa Soji.
"What?" Tsugawa Soji was shocked, "Why don't you stop the real guard?" ”
"My lord, when my subordinates arrived, the Kuroda family had already led the crowd into the city. When his subordinates entered the castle, they found that the enemy had surrounded Kuroda-sama and Nagano-sama. Takahashi Xingjia said helplessly.
Soji Tsugawa asked eagerly, "How is the situation now?" ”
Takahashi Xingjia said loudly, "I don't know the situation yet, the sound of killing in the city is shocking, how are we doing now, lord?" ”
"Quick, gather troops and go to support the real guard!" Soji Tsugawa shouted loudly.
"Hi"
.............
"Kill!" The Kuroda family is covered in blood, and they continue to harvest the name of Umezawa Castle Ashigaru. Now there are only about 50 people left in the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family. And it was already in a melee with the enemy, so the shooting on the masturbation platform was temporarily stopped so as not to injure his own people by mistake.
Kuroda Iekane also staggered back a few steps after kicking over a ashigaru, and the Taidao in his hand also fell to the ground, and the successive swings of the knife made Kuroda Iekane lose his strength. Looking at the Tsugawa family who fell to the ground around him, Kuroda Iekane shed tears.
"My lord, the real soldier is ashamed of the Tsugawa family!" Kuroda Iekane said bitterly, "But there are no cowards in the Tsugawa family!" Let me make up for my mistakes. ”
"Kill!"
Kuroda Iekane slammed headlong into a samurai whose knife was stuck in the body of a Tsugawa ieshigaru. Kuroda Iekane pounced and threw him to the ground, then pulled out his ribs and plunged them into the samurai's chest.
After picking up the samurai's saber, Kuroda Iekane rushed to Tozawa's side with a sudden spike. "Come on!" A strange arc crossed, and Tozawa Masa'an suddenly separated his head.
"The enemy will be .............. by me Kuroda Mahebei"
Several spears pierced Kuroda Iekane's body at this time, and Kuroda Iekane spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell unwillingly...............
"Kill" "Rush in!" "Soji Tsugawa rode a war horse and killed the castle under the protection of the samurai of Takahashi Koke and other banners. Behind him was the Tsugawa family's horseback team. Now that the castle has been captured, Soharu Tsugawa and others easily entered the castle.
In an instant, I came to the tiger's mouth where Sannomaru connected Sannomaru.
"It's not good, the reinforcements of the Tsugawa family are here."
"Tozawa-sama is already dead in battle, run!"
Tozawa Masayan was killed in battle, and with the arrival of reinforcements from the Tsugawa family, Ashigaru of Umezawa Castle immediately scattered and fled.
Soji Tsugawa jumped off his horse and rushed towards the battlefield, "Mabei! "Shinbei!" Soji Tsugawa shouted anxiously.
A Tsugawa family who fell to the ground trembled lightly, pointed in a direction, and said intermittently, "Lord.... Lord, Kuroda Dai.... People, already fighting... Killed in battle..."
"What?" Soharu Tsugawa looked in disbelief in the direction that Ashigaru was pointing. I saw a samurai covered in blood fall to the ground on his back, and Tsugawa Soji recognized this person as Kuroda Iekane at a glance.
"True Guard!" Soji Tsugawa rushed to the body of Kuroda Iekane, looking at Kuroda Iekane, who had closed his eyes, Tsugawa Soji trembled and shook Kuroda Iekane's body. "Mabei, wake up!"
"I command you to stand up!" "Mabei ....."
However, Kuroda Iekane was no longer able to respond to him.
"Kill!" "Kill all these ashigari for me!!" Soji Tsugawa turned his head sharply and roared!
"Hi" Takahashi Xingjia on the side also red-eyed, and replied angrily.
In an instant, hundreds of cavalry slaughtered Ashigaru in Umezawa Castle, which was walking around, and in a short time, they slashed the surrounding Ashigaru to the ground.
"Lord!" Miki Naogo also rushed to the castle with Ashigaru from the rear at this time, said Soji Asagagawa.
Soji Tsugawa struggled to stand up and said angrily, "Miki Naogo, give you half an hour to capture Umezawa Castle!" ”
"Hi," Naogo Miki replied firmly.
"Kill!" Hundreds of Ashigaru members of the Tsugawa family rushed towards Umezawa Castle, and in a short time destroyed the crown wooden gate of Ninomaru.
Miki Naogo led the team to rush to the front, followed by hundreds of Tsugawa family ashigaru.
Because the passage inside the castle was very narrow, it was not conducive to cavalry movement, so the cavalry such as Tsugawa Soji could only stay near Sannomaru and collect the corpse of the Tsugawa family.
"My lord, the body of Masahei Nagano has been found." Takahashi Koke came to Tsugawa Soji and said.
Soji Tsugawa silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Bring the bodies of all the dead ashigaru and samurai to the outside of the city, and place the seriously injured ashigaru alone and find a doctor to treat them." ”
"The horse riding team and the flag team are divided into several squads, cruising around Umezawa City, and not a single Umezawa Castle Ashigaru must be spared!" Soji Tsugawa instructed.
"Hi" Takahashi Xingjia took the order and left.
..........
At the north gate of Umezawa Castle, Hanabu Mori is commanding Ashigaru to defend against the attack of the Yoshikawa Hiroka.
"Archer shoots!" Hanagu Morijin shouted loudly to the archers around him, and after speaking, he pulled out the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it out of the castle, and an Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family was instantly hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.
"Your Excellency!" "The south of the city is out of the city and lost, and the enemy army has already attacked Ninomaru!" Ashigaru, a flower drum family, came to the side of the flower drum at this time, and said anxiously.
"What?" Hanabyu Sheng Qin stopped shooting arrows, turned around and said in disbelief, "How could it be lost!" What about Masayasu Tozawa? ”
"Lord Tozawa has died in battle," Ashigaru said, as if mourning.
"What?" Flower Drum Sheng Qin exclaimed.
And because the two of them spoke too loudly, so that the south of the city was lost, the news of Tozawa Masayasu's death was heard by the surrounding Ashigaru, and for a while, the morale of the flower drum family Ashigaru around the city fell to the bottom.
"It's over, the Tsukawa family has already come in." "I can't hold it, what should I do?" "Why don't you run away?" The hubmaster Ashigaru commented uneasily, and some of the archers even forgot to keep shooting.
Below the city, Yoshikawa Hiroke keenly discovered the abnormality of the Flower Drum family's ashigaru, although he didn't know what happened, but of course such an opportunity Yoshikawa Hiroya would not miss it.
So Yoshikawa Hiroya shouted, "Quick, seize the city, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
.............
To the south of Umezawa Castle, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru under the leadership of Naogo Miki has invaded Honmaru. After the death of Tozawa Masayasu, the ashigaru of Umezawa Castle lost the courage to continue resisting and fled in all directions. Miki Naogo and others drove all the way in, and in a short time they captured the Honmaru castle tower.
