"Kill!" A Tsugawa family's ashigaru climbed out of the city with difficulty, and was stabbed down by an ashigaru. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the casualties of one or two individuals could not stop the offensive of the Tsugawa family, and more and more ashigaru began to climb upward.

The Sannomaru is surrounded by wooden planks that are not too high, so a medium-sized ashigaru can easily cross over them. In addition, although there were archers in Umezawa Castle to suppress it, most of the ashigaru who defended the castle were peasant soldiers, and they were suppressed by the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family in terms of momentum.

Nagano Masahei saw that his own Ashigaru had begun to attack the castle in the rear, and hurriedly commanded the archers of the Tsugawa family to start a counterattack.

"Shoot, suppress the archers in the city." Masahei Nagano divided a squad of 50 archers into two teams and fired arrows at two curved wheels. As the archers of the Tsugawa family began to counterattack, the archers in the castle had to slow down their firing speed, and from time to time they had to dodge the arrows of the Tsugawa archers.

There were archers who were shot and fell off the wheel, and the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family was also shot quite a bit.

"Kill!" "Rush in!" Kuroda Iekane completely ignored the arrows flying from all directions, and commanded Ashigaru to launch an attack without stopping.

"Kill!" Kuroda Iekane jerked into the city, slashing down a ashigaru with a single sword, then turned around and pulled a knocked out Tsugawa ieshigaru up.

"Quick, keep attacking." Kuroda said loudly.

"Hi" Ashigaru, who was rescued, hurriedly picked up the spear on the side and followed Kuroda Iekane's side.

The Kuroda family is worthy of being the number one general of the Tsugawa family, and he is indomitable. As time passed, more and more Tsugawa family ashigaru invaded the castle, and the exit castle in the southern part of Umezawa Castle was randomly occupied by the Tsugawa family.

"Retreat" "Retreat towards Ninomaru!" "Ashigaru in Umezawa Castle is running towards Ninomaru in twos and threes.

Kuroda Iekane happily shouted, "Umezawa Castle is nothing more than that, everyone continue to attack!" ”

"Huh"

........

"My lord, the Kuroda family-sama has taken the exit of Umezawa Castle, and now he is continuing to attack Ninomaru with Ashigaru." A Tsugawa family's ashigaru quickly ran to the Tsugawa family's main camp and reported to Tsugawa Soji.

"What?" Soharu Tsugawa exclaimed, "Captured the castle so quickly? What about Hiroya Yoshikawa? ”

"There's no news from Yoshikawa-sama yet," Ashigaru replied.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and waved the ashigaru away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Kuroda Iekane has already captured the castle of Umezawa Castle, and I can't imagine that Umezawa Castle is not so difficult to attack," Tsugawa Soji said with a smile.

Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna, who were on the side, glanced at each other, stood up abruptly and said, "Lord Tsukawa, with your understanding of Umezawa Castle, even if the defenders in the city are only 300 people, if you scatter and guard two out of the city, there are 150 troops in the south of the city. It's impossible to be captured by Kuroda-sama in such a short period of time! ”

Tozawa Moritsuna next to him also nodded in agreement, "And there is a narrow tiger mouth between Sannomaru and Ninomaru in Umezawa Castle, and there are platforms (arrow towers) on both sides, so if someone who is not familiar with the terrain dares to enter, the situation will be very dangerous." ”

"Dang" After listening to the words of Tozawa Masashige and the others, Tsugawa Soji felt like a big stone had fallen in his heart, "Please enter the urn?" ”。

Soji Tsugawa suddenly changed color and said, "Quickly pass the order, let the Kuroda family and the Yoshikawa family retreat!" Fast! ”

"Hi" Takahashi Xingjia and Nagano Masafang on the side hurriedly took the order.

"Mabei, don't have an accident!" Soji Tsugawa thought uneasily as he looked in the direction of Umezawa Castle.

...........

"Kill!" At this time, Kuroda Iekane led Ashigaru into the tiger's mouth where Sannomaru connected Ninomaru, and a wooden door blocked Kuroda Iekane's body.

Kuroda Iekane turned his head and said to Ashigaru behind him, "Rush in and kill!" ”

"Huh"

At this time, on the masturbation platforms on both sides of the tiger's mouth, Tozawa Masaan looked at the situation below and smiled, "Release the arrow!" ”

"Brush, brush!" Countless arrows poured down, and the Tsugawa family, who had gathered here for a while, was shot into one piece.

Kuroda Iekane's heart jumped, and he hurriedly shouted loudly, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

At this time, a "hidden gate" near the "tiger's mouth" suddenly opened, and a team of ashigaru in Umezawa Castle suddenly came out, cutting off the retreat of Kuroda Iekane and others. (Hidden Gate: Some castles will have some hidden exits when they are built, which are generally not used.) Because there is more than one gate in the city, the various cruvels are also connected by doors, and there are hidden escape exits in case of emergency. The gate at the front of the castle is called "Otemon". On the other hand, the back door is called the "Hand Door". Because the general Oteemon is the face of the castle, it will be built mightily and majesticly. The hand door is set up relatively hidden, which is convenient for emergency escape. There are also some doors that have a special purpose: doors that are not open under normal conditions are called "unknown doors"; There is also the "buried door", that is, the door must be blocked with earth during the battle, and the place where the buried door is used is usually connected by a tunnel. And the door that carries corpses in and out of the city is called the "unclean gate". ）

"Oops!" Kuroda Iekane's heart suddenly raised his throat, but Kuroda Iekane immediately reacted and said loudly, "Rush out!" Follow me if you want to live! ”

"Kill!"

"Lord Nagano, archer cover!" Kuroda Iekane said loudly to Masahei Nagano on the side.

"Yes!" "Archer shoots!"

Seeing that Kuroda Iekane and others could still resist under such circumstances, Tozawa Masayan said angrily, "Release the arrow!" "Block the intersection and don't let the people of the Tsukawa family run away!"

"Hi"

For a while, knives and guns were fought, and the Tsugawa family's ashigaru suffered heavy casualties!

"Ahh Kuroda Iekane let out a painful cry and saw that he had been hit by an arrow in his left arm. Kuroda Iekane jerked out the arrow, bringing out a lump of bloody flesh. "Hachi!" Kuroda Iekane gasped, and before he had time to estimate the rest, he swung his sword again and killed it.

Masahei Nagano also followed, directing the archers to shoot as they went.

This place is a long and narrow passage, with a closed wooden gate in front and Tozawa Masayan and others blocking the intersection in the back, and the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru is trapped here. Coupled with the arrows that flew down from time to time on the platform around him, one after another fell lightly.

"Listen to the people of the Tsukawa family, surrender and avoid death!" Tozawa shouted loudly.

Kuroda Iekachi let out a disdainful "bah" and slashed down a Umezawa Castle's ashigaru with another sword. "There are no cowards in my Tsugawa family! Everyone, kill the enemy with me! Even if we die in battle, our wives and children will be taken care of by our father-in-law! (Soji Tsugawa: Your wife and daughter raised by me?) ）

The ashigaru of the Tsugawa family were also infected by Kuroda Iekane's bravery, and they all mustered up their last strength to follow Kuroda Iekane's footsteps and kill outside.

"Stubborn, kill! Don't let any of them go. Tozawa said angrily. Kill the enemy and reward a hundred dollars! ”

Under the heavy reward of "Huh", Ashigaru in Umezawa Castle began to launch a fierce offensive against Kuroda Iekane and others.
