At the south gate of Higa-hojo, Mitsumi Serita and Harumasa Akaishi are engaged in a battle with the besieging Takizawa Masatomi and Lost Island Mitsuhisi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Takizawa Masashi Sezen Army was in charge of attacking the South Gate Tower, and Takizawa Masatada, a member of the Takizawa family, was in charge. Lost Island Mitsuhisa was responsible for leading a team of people to assist, and Lost Island Mitsuyasu led a team of Ashigaru to attack the Sannomaru Castle Wall of Niga Castle.

Guarding the castle tower was the general of the Niga family, Harumasa Akaishi, a veteran in his fifties, whose son Harumaga Akaishi was also in the formation.

Under the cover of the archers commanded by Mitsuhisa Lost Island and Takizawa Masasa, the Takizawa Masataka team had already climbed the castle tower and engaged the Akaishi Harumasa team in close combat. There were seventy or eighty people in Takizawa's Masatada's team, while Akaishi's Haruma team had 200 people, occupying a certain advantage in numbers, and there was a castle as a cover, Takizawa's offensive was stubbornly blocked by Akaishi Haruma's team.

Takizawa Masadashi brandished a sword and commanded his Ashigaru to launch wave after wave of charges, but when the combat strength of the peasants and soldiers on both sides was equal, the numerical disadvantage was reflected. No matter how Takizawa Masadashi attacks, he will always be blocked by Akaishi Harimasa's team, and then fall into a bitter battle.

The situation of Takizawa's Masatuda team is not good, and the Lost Island Manan team, who is attacking the castle wall, is not much better.

Although Niga Hojo Castle is only a flat mountain castle and the terrain is not high, it is not easy to break through the castle walls. What's more, the Lost Island Manan team is also smaller than Serita Mitsumi in terms of numbers, so the attack of the lost island Manan is not smooth.

Outside the castle of Higa, Takizawa Masashi and Mitsuhisa Lost Island stood together with a solemn face looking at the battle not far away, and both of them revealed a trace of worry on their faces. Originally, the two thought that with the assistance of the Tsugawa family, the soldiers of the Higa Ho family and the Serita family in the city should not show much combat effectiveness, but the fact gave the two of them a hard slap.

Seeing that the Takizawa Masataka team on the castle tower was in a bitter battle, and the Lost Island Manan team on the side was also blocked, the lost island Manhisa turned his head and said to the Takizawa Masashi beside him, "Lord Takizawa, the number of ashigaru we attacked the city is too small, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through the enemy's defense." How about leading the army to support you? ”

"Good!" Takizawa Masato thought about it and agreed to Mitsuhisa Lost Island's proposal, "Then Yajima-sama will lead the remaining forces of the Yajima family to support the Yajima Man'an team in front." I also personally led the army to support the Takizawa Masataka team on the castle tower. ”

"Hmm!" Yajima nodded and continued, "The total number of enemy troops is lower than ours, as long as we make a single effort, we will definitely be able to break through the city!" ”

"Kill!" After speaking, Yajima Mitsuhisa suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed forward, and said loudly, "Everyone, rush!" ”

"Wow!" Suddenly, the ashigaru of the Yajima family began to follow Yajima Mitsuhisa towards Niga Hojo.

Not to be outdone, the Takizawa Masatoshi commanded the Takizawa family's troops to join the battle and support the Takizawa Masadashi team, who were fighting hard at the head of the castle.

With the addition of Yajima Mitsuhisa and Takizawa Masaka's team, the Seruda Mitsumi team and the Akaishi Harumasa team on the defending side began to be in danger. Takizawa Masashi broke up a group of Ashigaru led by Ashiyuki to rush directly to the castle tower and bypass the side of the Akaishi Harumasa team, followed by Takizawa Masashi and also appeared in the rear of Takizawa Masataka with a team of Ashigaru.

On the side, Yajima Mitsuhisa and Yajima Mitsuyasu increased their attack on the castle wall, and for a time Serita Mitsumi's team was beaten and retreated, and there were not many peasant soldiers at the castle wall to resist Yajima Mankushi's siege.

The combined strength of the Yashima family, the Takizawa family, and the Odaibo family was 800 people, while Serita Mitsumi and others only had 350 people, which was almost twice the number of the enemy army. Although there was the cover of the city, the numerical advantage disappeared with the participation of the main force of the Hao Clan Alliance.

"Kill! The capture of the city is just around the corner, everyone! With a loud roar, he led the peasants behind him and began to attack the flank of Akaishi Harimasa's team. Akaishi Harumasa, the son of Akaishi Harumasa, hurriedly organized a team of ashigaru equipment to block the attack of the team of Akaishi.

However, as more and more ashigaru climbed the castle tower, Akaishi Harumasa and others began to gradually lose their support.

"Father, there are more and more enemy troops on the castle tower, and we are afraid that we will not last long!" Akaishi Haruma said loudly to Akaishi Haruma.

Akaishi Harumasa said with a firm face, "You must persevere, no matter what, you must block the enemy's attack!" Listen, everyone, and reward each of them for 5 pieces of money for repelling the enemy's attack! ”

Regardless of whether Akaishi Harumasa can really come up with so much money to reward him, Akaishi Harumasa's words did inspire many peasants and soldiers. Just as the battle was going on, Tsuki Anto, Shigemasa Toshima and others arrived with a team of ashigaru.

"Lord Akaishi and Lord Serita, don't panic, Andong Tongji is here to help!" Anton Tongji rushed out with dozens of ashigaru.

This army was mostly made up of die-hard members of the Minato family, and was composed of members of the clan samurai and retainers. Originally, Anton Tongji was arranged by Niga Hojuharu to be in the city to support the battle of the North and South Gates at any time.

However, Anton Tsuki insisted on choosing to stay at the south gate, because there was no Tsugawa Soji at the south gate..... In case the city can't be defended, maybe you can break through the south gate and fight out of the city. As for the North Gate, Anton Tsuki is no longer willing to face the Ashgaru of the Tsugawa family.

"Reinforcements are coming, everyone hold on! Victory is ours! Harumasa Akaishi and Mitsumi Serita suddenly heard Anton Toji's voice and hurriedly shouted loudly.

When the surrounding peasants heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements, their hearts were finally less uneasy and fearful.

However, before the peasants and soldiers on the side of the Niga Hojia could react, there was a shout of killing coming from the direction of Sannomaru, and as the shouting of killing came from, a group of menacing Ashigaru was rushing towards the South Gate Castle Tower! Behind the ashigaru, a bellflower pattern leaning against the flag, shattered the glimmer of hope that had just risen in the hearts of the farmers of the Niga family..........

"Kill!"

"Higa-ho Juqing is dead, surrender quickly!"

"Rush over, those who dare to resist will be killed!"

Shuichiro Yagyu roared loudly as he commanded the Ashigaru charge, and Shuichiro Yagyu's words hit the hearts of the Higa-Hoke peasant soldiers like a hammer.

"What!"

"The lord has been taken?" Akaishi Harumasa and Akaishi Harunaga glanced at each other in shock, and a monstrous wave flooded their hearts.

It's a pity that although I don't want to believe it, the strength of the Tsugawa family suddenly appeared from behind, and I can't tolerate the people at the south gate not believing it.

"It can't be! This must be fake! Serita Mitsumi yelled in disbelief, his eyes full of unwillingness and remorse. Mitsumi Serita is still like this, not to mention ordinary peasant soldiers.

At this time, on the tower of the South Gate, the soldiers have no will to fight, and everyone is thinking about the same question in their hearts, "Can you escape?" ”

The answer is yes, run!

Andong Tongji's team was the first to withdraw from the battle and break through to the outside of the city, followed by Seruda Mitsumi's team, and Akaishi Harumasa's team also hurriedly followed. The rout army gathered together, and the desire to survive caused these peasant soldiers to burst out with great strength, and they actually scattered the strength of the Hao Clan coalition army in an instant. Takizawa Masaka and others who watched were dumbfounded.

If such a force had erupted earlier, no matter how many people had doubled the Hao Clan's coalition army, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the Higa-ho family! Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world........
