And although Nakajima Katsujiro and the others have reported their determination to die, but they are all wounded and exhausted, and now Ji Xiaolu's family has eased up, and they were immediately beaten back, and five people fell to the ground.

"Brothers, although we are alive, but we are already dead, rush me again, kill one is enough, and kill two to make money! Come on. This time the enemy was obviously ready, so Ji Xiaolu's family ashigaru stopped one after another, waiting for the other party to rush over, trying to kill the remaining few people in one fell swoop, but what they didn't expect was that the few people guarding the staircase rushed over, but behind them, dozens of people rushed over, and their roar was terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, Kohei and other nuggets rushed in front of Nakajima Katsujiro, although they had no formal training at all, but because they had been dealing with ores, everyone's strength was much stronger than those of Ashigaru, and with the change of their mentality, under the onslaught, they simply drove the enemy who had already entered the castle tower out of the castle tower, and set up an impregnable defense line at the entrance of the castle tower, at least in front of the samurai of the Himekoji family and Ashigaru.

"Miki-sama, what do you think we should do now?" A samurai who stayed in the castle tower outside the castle tower couldn't help but ask anxiously when he saw that there were only more than 60 people left in the army under Miki Kunitsuna, and the enemy was obviously ready to defend, and even the number of people was much higher.

Although the lord taught Miki Kunitsuna the responsibility of defending Matsukura Castle before leaving, if the lord blames him, he will definitely be implicated in the city, so he can't help but be in a hurry.

Miki Kunitsuna now knows how to look at the group of gold diggers at the gate of the castle tower. Although on the surface, it looked no different from before, but after a long time in the killing field, he could see that the eyes of those people were exuding murderous aura, although they had not been trained. But whether it is their physical fitness or this momentum, it completely makes up for their shortcomings.

He believed that if the dozens of frightened Ashigaru under his command were allowed to attack again, then what awaited them would not only be to attack the city and get credit, but also to die. Killed mercilessly by the enemy.

Miki Kunitsuna was very surprised by why the Nuggets changed so quickly, just now they still saw their subordinates Ashigaru attacking, they only knew that they had escaped, but it was only a long time before they became dead soldiers who put life and death aside, could it really be that God was helping the Takayama family. Or is it because the sins of the lord have now begun to be retributed?

And as he was thinking about it, he heard the question. Miki Kunitsuna thought about it for a moment and said truthfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's too difficult to think of a strong attack, Lord Shirakawa. I know that you and that Miki ...... The relationship between the Takayama clan is close, so why don't you have an adult to persuade this person, as long as the adult can successfully lure him and his army out of the city, then I am sure that I will annihilate them all, I don't know if you are willing. ”

After hearing this, the samurai named Shirakawa Katsumasa refused without even thinking about it. This revenge of killing parents and destroying relatives can not be given up by outsiders as soon as they are persuaded. Since he has made this matter clear, then he is determined to die, so no matter how much persuasion is in vain, and once the persuasion fails, then he is not so simple as being implicated, maybe the lord will let himself be buried with his family in anger. So it's better not to wade into the muddy water.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Miki-sama is really too high-minded. I don't have this ability in the next place, and the adults have always taken good care of the Takayama clan chief, maybe if the adults persuade him, he will also remember the adult's support and come out to surrender. ”…,

Miki Kunitsuna didn't know what he was thinking, but after all, he was the first to do the bad, so he didn't want to say much, just listened to him and said: "Okay, don't mention this matter again, since a hard attack may not be able to attack it, and it is impossible to persuade him to surrender, then now I am afraid that there is only one way to surround this castle tower, and I know that the food and water in the castle tower are very limited, so within two days, they will face the dilemma of no water and no food, and at that time, even if they don't want to come out, they can't do it, And we just need to take the rabbits here and wait for them to come out, I don't know what the adults think. ”

Although the remaining few people also knew that there was no way to do this, they felt that this method was still a bit slow, in case by the time the lord returned, if the rebels had not been annihilated by the time the lord returned, then how should they substitute for the lord?

"Lord Miki, there is little food in the city, how can the head of the Takayama clan not know, so he will definitely save money, so that he can use food and water for a day or two, and it should not be a problem to use it for three or four days, but if the lord comes back at this time and sees this situation in the city...... Have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

"My lord, you haven't fought with the Takayama Army, so I don't know the benefits of the Takayama Army, I think this time with the Takayama family, the family has the help of the Uesugi family's 3,000 troops, but even so, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Takayama army quickly, so as long as the two armies start a war, then in my opinion, it is not a problem for the two armies to fight for ten days and a half months, so you adults should put your heart in your stomach."

"This ...... Since Miki-sama is so convinced, then I won't say much about it, and everything is up to the adults. ”

"Humph! A bunch of useless waste, do you really think that with this simple sentence, you can really pick yourself out, wait, even if the lord orders me to cut my stomach, you can't run. When the samurai left, he only listened to Miki Kunitsuna's own words, and after saying that, he immediately ordered his troops to be stationed outside the castle tower.

However, he didn't know that the head of the Takayama clan had no intention of holding on to this castle tower at all, and this short-term defense was just to let his subordinates recover some physical strength.

In the assessment room, looking at the scarred Nakajima Katsujiro and the seven warriors, the Takayama clan shed tears.

Because four of them were so badly wounded, when the enemy retreated, they also passed away, so in addition to Nakajima Katsujiro and the two ashigaru he had cultivated, only one ashigaru remained, and the chief of the Takayama clan tore his clothes and personally hugged them, but none of them spoke.

After a long time, I only heard Nakajima Katsujiro say excitedly: "Lord, my subordinates are incompetent, they failed to guard the gate of the castle tower, and if they have broken their promises, please punish the lord." ”

"No, everything you have done has exceeded my expectations, if it weren't for the four of you and many dead brothers in this family, I'm afraid this Matsukura Castle Castle Tower is the place where we are buried, you are worthy of being the four warriors of my Takayama family, it is because of you that I have not lost face in front of my brother."

"Lord, you have a good reputation, fighting to the death for the lord is what subordinates should do, and the lord is serious." One of them, Ashigaru, who had been trained as a samurai, said hurriedly.

The head of the Takayama clan stood up and walked around the assessment room, and said as he walked: "There are only more than two hundred people on both sides of this battle, even if it is in the country of Hida, it is not a big war, but it is such a battle with a small number of people, but it has added four warriors to my Takayama family, so ......"

Speaking of this, I saw the Takayama clan chief turn around, face them, and said solemnly: "So Harada Sanzaemon, Shimahara Rokubei, Fujirokuro, I now give you the status of three samurai, Nakajima Katsujiro is the head of the four warriors under the command of my Takayama clan, and after my status is improved, I will promote you." ”…,

As he spoke, he said again: "Fujirokuro, I give you Matsuda as your surname, and from now on, you will be my retainer." ”

If it had been placed before, those people would have felt happy after hearing the news, but after experiencing a battle of life and death, they became much calmer, no one cheered, more of them were reluctant to cherish the brothers who were still fighting side by side with them just now, and it was their death that achieved their future and the prestige of the four warriors.

I saw them say with a resolute face: "Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will swear allegiance to the lord and the Gaoshan family." ”

"Lord, please let your subordinates lead the army to avenge those brothers who died in battle!" After taking the oath, I only heard Shimahara Rokubei speak.

"That's right! We must avenge our brothers, but the four of you have done enough for my Gaoshan family, and the rest will be left to your lord and me, and I will let you know that the object of your allegiance is not a bad seed. ”

"How can the lord be in danger, let his subordinates wait."

"Needless to say, you wait here to rest, I will cut off the head of Miki Kunitsuna to comfort the souls of my brothers in the sky." After saying that, the head of the Haoshan clan didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and took out the Taidao and walked out quickly.

"My lord, the enemy has begun to set up defenses outside the castle tower, look ......" As soon as I came to the corridor, I saw a gold digger walking up quickly and speaking.

"Brothers, we can't let our brothers die in vain, let alone stay here for the rest of our lives, we have to attack and avenge our brothers! Brothers, the enemy is right in front of you, rush with me! Saying that, the chief of the Takayama clan took the lead in rushing out of the castle, and when he saw someone, he cut down the two Ashigaru who were closest to the castle tower in an instant.

And since he came out, the Nuggets have rushed out without hesitation.

"The enemy is out, stop them." A lot of ashigaru resisted and kept shouting.

But now the morale of the gold diggers under the command of the Takayama clan is in full swing, and they are rushing out of the castle tower together, how can these ashigaru outside the castle tower resist, although they are still resisting, but they are retreating.
