Chapter 221: Defeat of the Rebels in Settsu (5)
"Attack!" Hosokawa Fujitaka rushed through the gate first, and ran into the defenders who were waiting for him.
"Shoot!"
Bang bang bang! A line of green smoke rises.
Hosokawa Fujitaka stumbled, unconsciously groped up and down, but fortunately he was not shot.
"Damn! Give it to me! Kill! Hosokawa Fujitaka was annoyed and embarrassed, and led the assault team to rush over.
"Spears in front! Spike! Kick the enemy out! Nakagawa Kiyohide's retainer, Gentai Yamawaki, commanded five hundred guns and stepped up lightly.
"Drink!"
There was a crackling, and the two sides fought lightly.
"Onward! Advance! Advance! Mibuchi Fujieiya led the team to rush into the gate, and the strength of the Hosokawa coalition army increased greatly, squeezing the space for the defenders to move.
"Kill! Our army will win! Hosokawa Fujiken's son-in-law, Hosokawa Motoxian, also led the team to kill, and he himself even broke through the enemy formation directly and faced Yamawaki Gentaio.
"Humph! Where did the doll come from! Look for death! Gentai Yamawaki looked at the young general in front of him with disdain, he himself fought to the death from the bottom, and fought step by step.
"Hosokawa Warren Hosokawa Motogen! I'm here to take your head! Hosokawa Motoxian brandished the sword, and when he came up, he slashed diagonally, straight to the chest of Geno Yamawaki. Although he was young, he was taught by professional samurai since he was a child, and the art of war was also from a famous family.
Well, Gentai Yamawaki retreated one by one, dodged the knife, and then stepped forward, and also slashed at Hosokawa Motoxian.
"Drink!" Hosokawa Motoken raised his knife to hold it, and with a flick of his wrist, he picked off the sword of Gentai Yamawaki.
Jingle bell, the two of them made two more moves, and Gentai Yamawaki was obviously not Hosokawa Motoxian's opponent, and there was a world of difference between professional and non-professional.
"Die!" Hosokawa Motoxian spotted a mistake by Gentai Yamawaki, a quick hedge, and with a slight stroke of the knife in his hand, he cut the throat of Gentai Yamawaku.
"Ahem... Belch.... Gentoo Yamawaki clutched his neck in pain, fell to his knees with a pop, and then struggled a few more times, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.
"The enemy will be taken by me! The enemy will be taken by me! Hosokawa Motoxian cheered excitedly, and when the defenders saw that the main general was dead, they immediately turned into birds and beasts.
"Go on the attack on Sannomaru!" After clearing the defenders at the gate, the Hosokawa coalition attacked the gate of Sannomaru.
"You guys! Bang the door! The rest of the people climb up for me! Under the command of Hosokawa Fujitaka, dozens of ashigaru desperately slammed into the Sannomaru gate, and the rest began to climb the walls of Sannomaru.
"Shoot!"
Bang bang bang! The defenders fired out from the narrow room in the wall, killing several ashigaru on the way.
"Up! Hurry up! Mibuchi Fujiei personally led the team to climb the wall, and there were swords on the wall, which increased the difficulty of climbing.
The so-called sword is a blade set under the eaves of the sword, which can play a very effective role in preventing the enemy from climbing.
"One-two, bump! One-two, bump! "There are no tools to break down the door, and it is all human power to carry out the physical impact.
"Aim for Sayama! Kill all the enemy troops who dare to take the lead! "The iron artillery team of Zhezhi Qingguang also entered the city to support.
Bang! Bang bang! With the support of iron artillery, Hosokawa Ashigaru's offensive pressure dropped sharply, and a few people had already climbed onto the roof.
"Raise your gun! Stab! "The spears in Sannomaru stand in two rows, waiting for Hosokawa Ashigaru, who finally climbed up.
Poof! The first ashigaru to climb up was stabbed into a hornet's nest on the spot.
"Go on! Go on the offensive! Don't stop! ”
"Oh!" The Hosokawa coalition forces are all from standing backgrounds, and it is not such a small setback that can hinder them.
"Hold on! Resist me! "Nakagawa's retainer Morita Hikoichiro was in charge of guarding Sannomaru, and his lord Nakagawa Kiyohide, when he had just withdrawn from the city gate and passed through here, made a special promise that when he succeeded in defending it, he would receive a large number of rewards.
"Drink!" Mibuchi climbed onto the eaves, and then he jumped off the wall without stopping, and a donkey rolled around to avoid the spear's thrust.
"Whoever stands in my way, die!" With a few swords, he hacked to death the two defenders standing in front of him, and the scene was a little chaotic.
Hosokawa Ashigaru in the back took advantage of this gap and also climbed over the wall one after another and came in to support.
"Enemy general! Death! Morita hit Fujiei Mibuchi in the back with a knife.
Mibuchi Fujiei stumbled, looked back and saw that the armor had been split by a knife, and he felt a hot pain in his back.
"Damn! How dare you sneak up on me! Give me death! Mibuchi Fujiei did not retreat but advanced, the sword in his hand was dazzling, and the approaching Morita Hikoichiro retreated again and again.
Bang!
"Huh? Not good! Hinichiro Morita was caught off guard and hit the wall with his back, and he was forced under the wall.
He was just about to turn around and run away, when Mibuchi Fujiei took an arrow step, went up and slashed heavily in his back.
"Ahh Hinichiro Morita was knocked to the ground, trying to crawl out of the place with both hands and feet.
"Prepare to die!" Mibuchi Fujieichi grinned, the knife he used just now was too strong, tearing the wound on his back, moving his arm, and slowly walking towards Morita Hikoichiro, who was still crawling on the ground.
"Don't! No! My lord! My lord! Under the vow! Under the vow! Please spare me! Hinichiro Morita burst into tears and begged for mercy desperately.
"Humph! Do you still have a bit of samurai consciousness? Mibuchi stepped on Morita's back, grabbed his bun with his left hand, and pulled it back so hard that his head was raised high.
"Uh... Belch... Don't..."The restrained Morita struggled desperately, he knew what was going to happen next.
"Die obediently!" Mibuchi Fujiei swung his knife and cut off his head.
Boom! There was a loud bang, and because the defenders were killed in battle, the defenders had no intention of resisting, and the gate was slammed open.
"Oh!" Hosokawa coalition forces swarmed in, chasing down the panicked defenders.
"Keep going! Conquer Ninomaru! Take Ibaraki Castle in its entirety! ”
"Oh!" The Hosokawa coalition army was like a rainbow, and soon attacked Ninomaru, and the defenders inside were still desperately resisting.
Suddenly, the Honmaru of Ibaraki Castle was in flames, and Nakagawa Kiyohide knew that the defeat was decided, and set the castle tower on fire with his own hands.
"My lord! Ibaraki Castle has been conquered, and Kiyohide Nakagawa was killed in the castle tower. Honda Masanobu stood aside and reported.
"Good! Spread the order to extinguish the fire in the castle tower, clean up the battlefield, and rest in Ibaraki Castle tonight. Early tomorrow morning, send troops to Akutagawa Mountain Castle and eliminate Araki Murashige! Hosokawa Nobumoto stood up and expanded his chest, and moved for a while, and now there was only one Araki Murashige left, and his mood was a lot more relaxed.
The Hosokawa coalition spent a quiet night at Ibaraki Castle, and the next morning, they swooped down on Akutagawa Yama Castle.
"My lord! The shogunate sent someone. "On the way, I met a group of messengers from General Yoshiaki.
"Oh? Why did you send someone again? Who is it this time? Hosokawa Nobumoto thought it was strange, it's only been a day, why are you here again? Takahide Nikaido is still under house arrest in his unit.
"It's the shogun, Lord Ishitani Yorichen."
"How is he?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked in surprise at the Ishitani Yorichen who was approaching him in the distance. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
