"Shoot!" The defenders fired again, killing several more of the exposed Hosokawa troops.

"Retreat! Fall back! Sanyun Cheng turned his head and ran, followed by Dinghai Bei, who was defeated in a hurry.

"My lord! Mikumo-sama! Ay! Shoot! Cover the withdrawal of friendly forces! Regarding the fact that the friendly troops ran away without saying hello, Shigehide Suzuki was furious, and then he was defeated.

"What's going on!" Gamo Fuxiu immediately asked.

"Back to the lord, the defense of the hand shield is insufficient, and there are enemy spears on the second gate, our army cannot protect against the attack from above, so we retreat first. But the subordinates thought of a solution, which was to use thick wooden planks for protection. "Sanyun Chengzhi is not incapable, there are still some clever ones.

"Excellent! Pass the order! Use planks for protection! Attack again! Gamo Fuxiu didn't doubt him, and praised Sanyun Chengzhi.

Soon, Ding Haibei prepared the planks, because these were ready-made, carried by a team of ashiba, escorting the door squad, and rushed to Miki City again.

"Kill!" Masaya Terada led the second team and attacked in a cluster.

"Archery! Archery! Damn it! Iron cannon shooting! Damn it! Kume Kukatsu watched as the Hosokawa army crossed the earthen bridge,

The planks worked, and they resisted bows and iron cannons one after another, and came to the second gate.

"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! The door slammed against the door with a clattering sound.

"Latch! Fast! Thicken the latch! "Bessho's retainer Shisui is close to organizing the defenders to defend behind the door, and the ashigaru people have brought thickened latches one by one and pinned them to the deadbolts.

"Spear! Stab! "Kume Kukatsu was in charge of the defense of the city, and once again attacked through the gap.

Wow! The spear was pierced on the plank, and it could not break through the defenses of the Hosokawa army.

"Hahaha! Keep banging! Terada Masake was a little excited, seeing that this city-breaking work was about to belong to him, he couldn't wait to move forward.

"Falling rocks!" With a loud bang, it slammed heavily on the wooden board, and the ashigaru who lifted the board couldn't bear the huge pressure, and suddenly fell to the side.

The subsequent stone fell on the unsuspecting crowd: "Ah! Bursts of screams rang out.

"My lord! My lord! Two ashigaru dragged the Madada family out of the rubble.

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The defenders again fired at the unsuspecting Hosokawa army, killing many of Ashigaru on the spot, including a shot in the forehead by Masaya.

"Retreat! Fall back! "Terada Masake was killed, and under the leadership of the rest of the samurai, they quickly withdrew from Miki Castle, and the siege ended in failure again.

"Lord, can we carry out a full-scale siege?" Seeing that the two waves of attacks failed to break through the tiger's mouth, Takataka Kuroda couldn't help but propose the most primitive way.

"No! Climbing a city is the most clumsy form of siege, which is time-consuming and increases casualties. Well... I might have a solution, and it's noon. The order goes down, and the army is temporarily suspended, and Masuda Nagamori is brought to me, I have something to arrange! Hosokawa Nobumoto seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

Soon, Masuda Nagamori ran over.

"Lord, what do you have to tell your subordinates?" As the building of the Hosokawa family, he was in charge of all the protective works such as the construction of castles and arrays.

"O Changsheng, order all your carpenters to make me a few things." Hosokawa Nobumoto beckoned Masuda Nagamori to come over and handed him the sketch in his hand.

"This is...", who has been working on architecture all year round, can naturally understand the drawings at a glance, and there are two sketches in total.

"This is for siege, I ordered you to start work at noon today, and I will come in handy in the afternoon." Hosokawa Nobumoto drew something very simple, one is a rectangular lid, and the other is a wooden board and a support column (similar to the guide board of the sports meeting).

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Eat noodles...", and the Hosokawa Army's cooking squad lifted a mouthful of cauldrons.

"Come on, come on... Get in line! Under the leadership of the samurai, the Hosokawa army took over their bowl of noodles in an orderly manner, which was the Hosokawa family's special military ration: udon.

Udon, originally a specialty of the Takeda family, is made by boiling noodles and vegetables together and seasoning them with miso. This type of noodles is very nutritious and beneficial for soldiers who have a lot of physical exertion. Looking back at the fierce battle between the Takeda Army and the Uesugi family's Kawanakashima Island, this type of noodle also played an important role in it, and there is a saying that "the one who eats ramen defeats the bento".

Slip... Slip... Hosokawa Jun ate the fragrant noodles, his stomach was warm, and he felt suddenly full of strength.

The carpentry team stepped up to catch up with the tasks assigned by the master, and soon the construction was carried out according to the drawings.

After lunch, he did not immediately enter the battle, but rested for another quarter of an hour before slowly approaching Miki Castle.

"Saga Bei! Offensive! "Oura Weixin led the reserve for the third wave of the offensive.

"Shoot! Suppress the city! "The thunder artillery battalion again covered the friendly charge.

"Archery! Fast! Damn it! It's this again! Be prepared for falling rocks! Kume Kukatsu saw a large wooden box running towards him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be a door-knocking wood inside.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang! "Huh?" The iron cannon defenders in the tiger's mouth were fighting, and suddenly found that the firing port was pitch black, and when they looked closely, it seemed that they were blocked by something.

"Quick! Fast! Put up the sign! Block Sasama! Use a stick on top of the sign and a stick on the ground! Fast! There's one missing! "Shigeharu Tsuchihashi commanded Ashigaru to block the firing ports one by one, so as to ensure that the follow-up troops would not suffer casualties.

"Damn! Smash this thing out of the way! In a fit of rage, Kume Kukatsu picked up the handle of the cannon and slammed it into the plank.

Wow! It's a pity that there is a thick wooden stick on the back, and he can't smash it no matter how much he smashes it.

"You guys keep smashing me! Over there! Falling rocks! The city gate was in an emergency, and Kume Kukatsu hurriedly returned to the city gate and commanded Ashigaru to smash down the boulder.

Thundered! Boom knock! A large number of boulders fell on the wooden cover, but at most they were dented, but they were not smashed as expected. It turned out that the three sides of this wooden box were nailed, and there were wooden supports inside.

"One, two, crash! One, two collisions! The door knocker inside was not affected in the slightest, and continued to hit the door, and the latch on the door had begun to crack, and it looked like it was about to be unable to support it.

"What to do... What should I do..."Kume Kukatsu was so anxious that before he could come up with anything, he heard a muffled sound, and the second door was slammed open.

"Rush! Kill! Shigeharu Tsuchihashi was the first to rush through the gate and into this narrow slope.

"Oh!" Saga Bei's morale was greatly boosted, and he rushed in after following the main general, and he didn't run far on the winding slope before he saw the exit.

But... The exit from the slope was blocked by an earthen rampart.

"Guns! Stab! Suddenly, ambush soldiers appeared from the high ground on both sides of the slope, and the spears in their hands stabbed at the Hosokawa army below.

Burst! "Ugh!" Shigeharu Tsuchihashi, who was in front of him, didn't have time to dodge, and was pierced through the chest by a shot, and fell to the ground weakly.
