Chapter 90: The Battle of Sumamata Castle (1)

After a while, the retreating Saito army organized a group of hundreds of troops to attack, and this time it was obvious that there were more samurai in the crowd than before.

"Ready! Volley triple hit! Shoot! "Whoosh! The Saito army fell again in waves, but this time it was determined not to retreat.

"Rush forward! Fast! Assault! Taking advantage of the pause in the bow-foot, the Saito samurai hurriedly commanded the peasant soldiers to take advantage of the situation to assault, and the bee Suka army behind the fence staggered and fought together.

"Kill!" Bee Suka Koroku commanded Kawa Namizu to take advantage of the fence and defend on the spot, and the Saito army was blocked, and occasionally a few desperate people tried to climb over the fence, and they were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest.

"Aim for the Saito samurai! Free Fire! Win the enemy samurai and promote it to the bow samurai! Hosokawa Nobumoto gave another dose of booster shot, "Oh! Morale was suddenly high, and everyone seemed to be more accurate.

Burst! "Ahh A samurai of the Saito family was shot in the throat with an arrow, and even though the samurai had a protective carcass, there were still many samurai who were taken by the bow.

"Huh? Evacuate! A frightened samurai gave the order to retreat, he was frightened by Hosokawa Yubutashi, and if he continued to fight, his life would be confessed, and he wanted to keep this life and go back to make love to Amatsu in the house.

Whoa! The Saito Army, which receded like a tide, lost dozens of lives, and the tyrannical voice of Takegoshi Naomitsu was heard in the distance, and I don't know if any unlucky people died because of this.

"Father, it seems that it is not advisable to storm the front, it is impossible to build a city wall on all sides this night, and it is very likely that there is no city wall on the back side of the Xichuan River. The child is willing to lead 500 people from the headquarters, smuggle across the Nagara River, raid from the back, and break through Sumamata Castle in one fell swoop! Takegoshi Shoujiu on the side said, he is one of the "Eighteen Generals of Mino", and there is still a place for the half-guards of Takenaka in these eighteen generals, and it is difficult to say whether they are of the same level.

"Haha! Good! Clever plan, then I will attract their attention head-on, after this battle, you who defeated the "Unparalleled General of the Eastern Kingdom" are probably the samurai who moved the world, ahahaha! Father and son laughed heartily, as if they were already drinking celebratory wine.

"Kill!" Directly in front of Sumamata Castle, the Saito army was defeated again, and this was the third time, but each time it was far from approaching, and after being shot twice by the Hosokawa army, it retreated.

"Huh?" Such an obvious abnormal move must have aroused Hosokawa Nobumoto's suspicions, "Hattori Masaaki!" Haven't there been any strange reports from the surroundings yet? ”

"Back to the lord, not yet, everything around is fine." The Monomi Ban who followed the battle this time was led by Hattori Masaaki.

"Hmmm! In this case, Bow Ashigaru went down to rest first, and Maeno Nagayasu continued to stand by. Hosokawa Nobumoto believed in Monomiban's report, after all, it was a reconnaissance unit that he had trained, and its combat quality was not comparable in this era.

"Drink!" There is still a painless harassment attack in front of him, and there is no need to suppress the attack at all, and even the eight hundred rivers of Bee Suga Koroku can take turns to fight, saving a lot of physical strength.

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Takegoshi Shomitsu frowned, feeling very tricky, he originally wanted to consume the enemy's energy, but now he has lost a lot of energy on his side, coupled with the continuous defeat in battles, the morale of the army has gradually weakened.

"Damn! Shoujiu, where did that kid go, why hasn't there been news for so long, it's almost night, and it can't go on like this. Although he said that he could not do it, he still began to continue to organize the peasant soldiers and prepare to attack again. There is no way, now the information is not smooth, and it is impossible to contact at all, so it can only be judged by hearing the sound.

"My lord! The upper reaches of the Nagara River found that the Saito Army was making a detour behind the main house, and it seemed that they wanted to force their way across the Rhino River and attack the main family from the back. At the same time, Hosokawa Nobumoto also received a report from Monomiban.

"Hehe, it's good to come, this time he will be told to come and go, pass the order, and act according to this plan." Hosokawa Nobumoto began to assign tasks, preparing to annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

Whoop~~ Takegoshi Shoujiu led the 500 army to detour behind Sumamata Castle, because he was afraid of being discovered, he went around in a big circle before coming, but he was tired enough.

"Quick! Above! "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Takegoshi Morihisa, who did not stop, commanded the army to start crossing the river, because he found that the back of the castle was wide open, there were no fortifications, and only the south façade at the east and west ends had just been half walled, and all the things in the castle were exposed to his eyes.

"Kill!" Takegoe Morihisa, who had crossed half of the river, had already heard the shouting of killing in front of him, and now the attention of everyone in the Hosokawa family was in front, and there was a high-ranking samurai sitting under the banner of the castle, presumably it should be the Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was known as the "Unparalleled General of the Eastern Kingdom". At this time, he was holding a long time with his back to Takegoshi, nervously watching every move of the battle situation in front of him.

"Hey, hey!" Takegoe Morihisa smiled cruelly, now that most of his army had crossed the Rhino River, he was waiting for the last half of his army to cross the river.

"Huh?" With a bang, a man who came to fetch water saw the Saito army smuggled in, and was so frightened that the barrel in his hand fell to the ground.

"Damn! If you find out, kill me! Takegoshi Shoujiu didn't wait for the army behind him, and directly commanded the existing peasant soldiers, and rushed to Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was a hundred paces away.

I saw Hosokawa Nobumoto slowly turn around, and Oki Takegoshi Shoujiu smiled mockingly, causing him to wonder why. With a wave of his hand, a hundred bows ran out from behind the stone walls on the east and west sides, and a salvo was swished, and the Saito army fell when it landed.

At the same time, 500 energetic gunners were killed from both sides, and the Saito army was driven down the river to feed the fish like ducks.

"Huh? Not good! Hit the trick! Evacuate! Takegoshi Shou was about to flee back to the other side without looking back, when suddenly hundreds of black-clad ninjas rushed out of the woods on the opposite bank, slaughtering the Saito army in the river. This is the Hosokawa family ninja army, who has been lying in ambush near the outside of the city.

"Huh?" Takegoshi Mamoru in the river was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was himself who fell into the trap. With a pop, he was hit by an arrow in the head, which killed Takegoshi Morihisa on the spot.

"Oh yes! Headshot! I saw Hosokawa Nobumoto put away his love bow and smiled with satisfaction.

"Kill!" Suddenly, from the main entrance, a group of Saito soldiers rushed in, and one of the veterans at the head looked at all this in front of him in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Welcome! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Hosokawa Nobumoto turned to face the main entrance again, smiling evilly.
