At this point, the relatives of the Nagazong and my department could only pinch their noses and admit it, and the Hata-gun returned to the Tosa Ichijo family and officially obeyed the Hosokawa family.

Looking at the Hosokawa army departing from the boat, Motojin couldn't vent in his heart, because there was still a person standing behind him: Yakamada Taikichi. Due to the tragic death of the third brother Xiangzong and my family, his son-in-law Chiju Pill was still young, so Nakayama Tian Taiji, who was a member of the family, naturally served as his successor and controlled the real power of Xiangzong's family.

This is actually the operation of the Hosokawa family, because everyone knows that Yasuji Nakayama has a grudge against his father with the Nagazong family, which is equivalent to laying a nail in the Nagazong family, or a nail in the throat.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Kill!" Tamkawa City shouted to kill the heavens, this is the last branch stronghold of the Bessho family, and if it is broken here, Miki City will be isolated.

"Archery! Archery! "Danhe Dingfan commanded loudly, he is the city lord of Danhe City.

Whoosh! The arrows whistled towards the Hosokawa army, and the Hosokawa ashigaru men lowered their heads and used the array hats above their heads to carry out a protective charge.

Clanging, the arrows occasionally hit Hosokawa's body, only to be bounced off by the body's feet. The Hosokawa family always has a complete set of feet, that is, wearing a hat on the head, wearing armor (carcass, sleeves, grass folds), and small feet (cage hands, cheeks, pei).

Jinkasa is a flat hat made of bamboo and wood, which is both light and highly protective, and is coated with a layer of lacquer to protect it from rain, and the brim of the hat is painted with Hosokawa pine hat diamond pattern.

The armor on the body is divided into three parts: carcass, sleeves, and grass folds, and the trunk part of the armor is called "carcass", which is made of about 0.8mm iron sheets, and then wrapped with a layer of leather made of deerskin to form a smoother surface, which can prevent the bowstring from being scraped by the armor when archery, and this structure is also known as the string walk. And in order to strengthen the bulletproof effect of the iron cannon, a protrusion was created in the middle of the cuirass to form a bulletproof bevel, very similar to the practice of European cuirasses of the same era.

Under the carcass hangs a protective straw fold (like a hakama), which is divided into four compartments and four sections, with a front straw fold, a horsehand fold on the left, a shot straw fold on the right, and a guide at the back.

The sleeve, which is actually a shoulder armor that protects the arm and shoulder, is made of six sections of armor and adopts a straight and flat structure, so that its defense area is larger, and it does not affect the flexibility of the arm.

Originally, Ashigaru was equipped with such a set of sufficiency, which was already a high match in the Warring States Period, but the Hosokawa family also added a small three-piece suit: cage hand, cheek, and pei.

The cage hand is the arm armor of the sleeve part, and the cage hand of the melee foot light uses a fine rope armor to play a protective role; The long-range ashigaru cage uses sleeves made of silk that make it easy to draw a bow and shoot arrows or iron cannons.

The armor on the calf area is called a cheek, and it is made of cloth, which is light and breathable, and prevents the leg muscles from becoming congested and swollen during long-distance marches or rapid marches.

The armor on the thigh is the Pei Yu, which is rarely equipped with such armor, because it is not convenient to fight on horses, and it is also quite expensive. However, Hosokawa Tsunabi tied the pei to his thigh through a strap to protect the major arteries in his thigh.

The whole set of ashiki is also called Hosokawa sufficiency, which can play a maximum of protection measures to avoid unnecessary attrition of elite standing reserves.

"Quick! Fire Bolt! Aim for those special people! Shoot the arrows! Seeing a small demolition team hidden in the crowd, Tamkawa saw a small group of demolition teams hidden in the crowd, and hurriedly ordered the standby arch-foot light fire arrows, and they had already begun to effectively contain them according to the characteristics of the Hosokawa army.

Whoosh! More than a dozen fire arrows that were looking for flames flew towards the Hosokawa Demolition Team.

Wow! There were only a few muffled sounds, but there was no big explosion as Danhe Dingfan imagined. When you look closely, it turns out that the Hosokawa Demolition Team is each equipped with a hand rattan shield, which firmly protects the baking explosives in their hands, and the Hosokawa Army will also evolve.

"Damn! Archery! Keep shooting! Danhe Dingfan couldn't think of a way to contain it for a while, so he had to continue to shoot arrows desperately.

With a bang, the flame of the beating lead was quickly shortened...

Boom! The wooden gate was blown to shreds, and the flying wood chips injured many of the city's defenders.

"Shima Bei! Charge! Tao Zhongyuan led the vanguard reserve and launched a charge towards the empty gate.

"Oh!" Although Shima Bei has been in the army for a short time, after this year's actual combat running-in, it has also begun to evolve to the ideal elite.

"Drink! Kill! "Every three Hosokawa Ashigaru formed a squad, alternating between attacking and covering, while the defenders fought separately, and they were no match for the Hosokawa army at all.

"Well done!" Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but exclaim, as long as the city gate is breached, there will be almost no suspense, as long as Danhe City is taken, only the lonely Miki City will remain.

"Stop! Stop the enemy! Take advantage of the defense of Ninomaru! Fast! "Danhe Dingfan is still making the final resistance, and Danhe City is just a mediocre Pingshan City. Hirayama Castle is a castle built on the plains with hills, hills, etc.

Crunch, crunch! The gate of Ninomaru was tightly closed, and the defenders rushed to the walls on either side.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Shima Bei followed, quickly rushing to the narrow passage in front of the Ninomaru Gate, flanked by towering walls, a Ninomaru in the shape of a "concave".

"Archery! Archery! "Whoosh! Arrows were shot from the narrow gaps in the walls on both sides.

Jingle bell, poof! The close-range accumulation of shots will penetrate the body, and the passage is too narrow to be used, and it is completely in a situation of passive beating, and the casualties begin to gradually rise.

"Roasting! Cast! With a broken shout, the baking team of the iron artillery team rushed to support and threw the baking in their hands over the wall.

Boom! Boom! Green smoke rose into the air with a violent explosion.

"Ahh A few screams, and an arm flew out.

"Knock on the door!" Several ashigaru men rushed over carrying heavy ramming logs, and the most traditional method was used to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops in the narrow passage, a narrow passage without cover.

"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! "The door kept banging, the door clicked, and seven or eight defenders desperately used their bodies to resist the gate, but they still couldn't stop the gate like breathing, one by one, one by one...

"Ready... Preparation..."Akai Naomasa and Ashigaru waited anxiously, and after he and Shinoi Kyoye joined the Hosokawa family, they were all assigned to Shima Bei in order to strengthen the combat power of this new army.

"Lord!" In an uproar, a group of samurai came to the side of Danhe Dingfan, and these people were all relatives of his Danhe family.

"Ahh Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to be faithful to the Lord! Danhe Dingfan looked around, and there was only this person left in front of him.

"Yes! We will swear to follow the lord to the death! "Everyone fell to their knees in unison, and this is the fate of the samurai.
