Chapter 428: Gao Shan Clan
"The Takayama Clan? A very unique name, who is he? Hosokawa Haruyuki frowned, he had never heard of this person.
"He is the grandson of Gao Shan Waiji, and now he is the retainer of his sister Xiaolu Laigang." Unejima revealed his identity.
"Is it the Gaoshan family that was exterminated by Sister Xiaolu? And heirs? Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang didn't kill him? Haruyuki Hosokawa asked a little strangely.
"It's been five years since Takayama came back, and he naturally won't explain his true identity, if it weren't for the fact that my father had seen him when he visited Takayama's house, I'm afraid no one would know his true identity now." It seems that the Nene Island family has long been at odds with the sister Xiaolu family, and this kind of thing has been deceived to this day.
"I see... It's really hard for him to hide it for so long..."As he spoke, Haruyuki Hosokawa looked in the direction of Takayama Castle, as if there was a pair of eyes looking at it.
The Gaoshan Clan Sect retracted its gaze, and the years of forbearance were just to avenge this sea of blood.
"Hey... At that time, Takayama Castle was broken, but unfortunately when I escaped, I panicked and rolled down the cliff, and I recuperated from my injuries for more than a year, missing the battle of the Oda family's barrel Sasama. If it had been for me to make a surprise attack on Yoshimoto Imagawa... Now I'm afraid it's also a big name for dominating one side, right? It's a pity... If I could do it all over again, I'd rather drag my badly injured body than rush to the barrel. "The Gaoshan clan is lonely and sighing, now he is only the general of the sister Xiaolu family, and Shi Gaocai is only a pitiful three hundred and fifty, and he can't shake the foundation of the sister Xiaolu family at all.
"Tomorrow... You can get revenge! The Takayama clan clenched his fists in resentment, he had waited too long for this moment.
The sun had risen on time, and Takayama Castle was heavily guarded, and they had learned of the Hosokawa family's invasion. To this end, Sister Xiaolu Raitsuna urgently mobilized and recruited 1,050 people to the maximum.
However, he felt that this was far from enough, and strictly ordered the vassal Kojima, Hirose, Nabeyama and other wealthy clans to also send troops to come. In addition, he asked his in-laws, the Echichu Saito family, for 800 reinforcements, and finally gathered 2,300 people in the city.
Knock knock! The drums of war are ringing in unison.
Stompe! Stompe! Kyoto is ready to walk in front of Takayama Castle.
"Goo-dong..."A defender swallowed dryly, and the defenders in the city looked nervously at the Hosokawa army, with a forest of swords and armor, a thick slaughter, this is a hundred battles of elite soldiers!
"First team! Advance! With an order, Ashiki Mitsutada, who led the first row, lifted the large plank and marched slowly.
"Steady... Steady! Miki Soyuki silently counted the marks, and the city wall was also full of defenders, using large wooden planks as cover, forming a double attack surface with the narrow space (perforation) of the city wall below.
"Rush!" Wise Guangzhong also silently counted the marks, and as soon as he saw that he was about to enter the range of the defender's bow and arrow, he immediately gave the order to sprint.
"Oh!" The first team of Ashigaru ran quickly with a large wooden plank in his hand.
"Archery! Archery! Miki Muneyuki immediately ordered.
Whoosh! Arrows rain down, wow! The large planks kept most of the arrows at bay, and only a few unlucky ones were hit by the arrows thrown.
"Ding!" Running to the moat, Akechi Mitsutada immediately ordered Ashigaru to lay down a large plank, and a simple offensive defense line was constructed.
"Back!" Completed the mission, taking advantage of the gap between the defenders' attacks, led the first team back.
"Bow foot light! Charge! "Utoneijima led the bow foot light into the position quickly, hiding behind the large plank.
"Free archery! Suppress the city! Seeing that the bow foot was in place, he immediately gave the order to attack.
Whoosh! Hosokawa bow ashigaru is professionally trained, using large wooden planks as cover, sometimes probing arrows, sometimes sideways shots.
Wow! Burst! "Ahh The arrows fired back hit the planks of the castle and hit the defenders who had no time to dodge.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two men and horses shot back and forth, and occasionally an arrow took a living life.
"Attack!" Miyoshi Nagaji passed about an hour, and it took a lot of energy for the defenders, and he immediately led the vanguard to rush forward.
"Oh!" Hosokawa Ashigaru worked in groups of three and ran to their respective defensive positions.
Stomp, stomp! The three of them reached the back of the large plank, waited for a rain of arrows to pass, and then quickly waded across the moat to the foot of the high mountain castle.
When he had gathered twenty people, he began to climb Alpine City under the leadership of the team leader.
"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! "The wooden door is clicking.
"Latch! Fast! Latch! Miki Yoriichi organized the defenders to carry through the heavy latches one by one, and snapped them up.
"Top of the door! Plus the top of the door! Feeling that it was not safe, he immediately brought in a few heavy giant logs and pushed them to the inside of the gate.
"Up! Above! Hosokawa Ashigaru climbed the sloping stone walls, which also caused a lot of mental pressure on the defenders of the castle.
"Get rid of them!" Miki Soyuki shouted loudly, and several spear and bow foot leaned out, ready to attack condescendingly.
"Goal! Enemies exposed from cover! Archery! Utonejima commanded in a loud voice.
Whoosh! Hosokawa is professionally trained, and his accuracy is not ordinarily high.
Poof! "Ahh The unprotected defenders were soon targeted and sent down to the city with several arrows.
"Damn! Go on! Can't let them come up! Miki also brandished the spear to stop Hosokawa Ashigaru from climbing, but Hosokawa Ashigaru kept out of the range of the spear's attack, leaving him exposed for a long time.
Sou! Burst! "Ahh Miki Muneyuki clutched his arms in pain, and after retreating into the defensive board, the big spear also let go.
"Keep attacking!" General Hosokawa Haruyuki nodded with satisfaction, which could kill and injure the defenders to the greatest extent and reduce the casualties of his own army.
The battle lasted another hour, and Kyoto Bei receded like a tide, and began to bury the pot and make rice, as if it had been attacking for a long time.
In the afternoon, Kyoto Bei attacked again.
"Kill!" The bowfoot entered the position first, exchanging fire with the defenders.
An hour later, Kyoto Bei entered the siege battle, and the strong and orderly attack exhausted the defenders, and the defenders suffered more casualties than the siege.
After attacking like this for four or five days, the defenders' attention was all focused on the front, after all, the attack of Kyoto Bei was too fierce, and if it was not good, it would be broken into the city.
"Shili, it should be almost, the enemy army has been completely attracted by our army, and we can start the internal response tonight." The battle continued, and Hosokawa Haruyuki looked at the crowd of people on the head of the city, there were really a lot of them, and they should be almost heavily defended.
"Yes! Everything is at the mercy of the Lord. "Unejima Clan bowed his head, and finally waited for this time.
Just tonight!
