Chapter 187: Attack on Kishiwada Castle (2)
"Brother, this can't be done. If you continue to fight like this, your family will be gone. "In one of the barracks, Suginobo and his brother Tsuda were whispering.
"Hey... So what can be done? Pick a child and leave? We are written in black and white, signed and drawn, and if we leave, our reputation will stink, who will hire us in the future? Tsuda sighed, who would have thought that Hosokawa Nobumoto would let them attack the city, they are specialized in junglers.
"That's right, I just read the contract again, uh... It's that agreement, and it says big contracts. Forget it, whatever he calls it, what I want to say is that I see such a clause in it: Anyone who voluntarily leaves the Hosokawa family will have this contract terminated immediately. As he spoke, Suginobo took out the contract and pointed to it for Tsuda to look at.
"You're saying that if you join the Hosokawa family, you don't have to fulfill the contract? But wouldn't there be no commission in that case? And in that case, you will have to fulfill the obligations of your subordinates, and if you let your family attack the city, won't it still be the same loss of troops? In the end, it was a loss of both people and money. Tsuda shook his head after thinking about it.
"Brother, joining the Hosokawa family does have to fulfill the obligations of our subordinates, but it doesn't mean that we will suffer? If this is a meritorious service, there will be a territorial reward, and it will definitely not be cannon fodder. Look at that Suzuki Motoshige, when did he let him attack the city? When did he use his 500 iron cannons? Although Sugi nobo had fought for a day during the day, he understood the Tao in it.
"That's... How? Tsuda thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really like that, and he was patronizing during the day and felt distressed about the battle damage.
"I am a monk and monastery, and it is impossible for me to serve any force, only a devout Buddhist. Brother, you are a pedestrian official of the monastery and can touch everything in the world, so it is up to you to show your submission and bring the elite of your family under your command. In this case, you will be cheaper in the future war, and I will come if you suffer a loss, anyway, as long as you have money, it will be okay if those cannon fodder die. "Don't look at Sugi Zhifang, he is a monk, and there are a lot of ghost eyes.
"And in the future, Saga and Negen will come to this place, Hosokawa Nobumoto will definitely send troops to station, just look at the Saga Castle that is being built. Although he was nominally repaired to the Suzuki family, everyone knew that this was a disguise, and the head of the Suzuki family, Suzuki Motoshige, was a puppet. And when I look at Hosokawa Nobuyuan's approach, I must also be thinking about our roots, so let you join the office, then the jurisdiction of the roots in the future will definitely be handed over to you. At that time, you can observe the wind and grass inside the Hosokawa family, and I can also lead the devout believers to wave the flag and shout for you outside, and the roots will still be the world of our family. ”
"High! It's really a double win, I joined the Hosokawa family, and he had to appoint me to manage the root on his behalf. Otherwise, if you become an outsider, brother, you only need to lead the monks to resist, and he can only helplessly let me come to appease. And I will have the status of an official warrior in the future, and he must also be rewarded for his meritorious service, and I heard that his reward for his retainers is quite rich. Tsuda and Suginobo muttered for a while, and then set the tone, and Tsuda and Masanori went to see Hosokawa Nobumoto overnight.
The next day, as soon as the sky was hazy, the intensive artillery fire began again, but unlike yesterday, Tsuda's 1,000 iron artillery corps did not enter the battlefield, but rested leisurely on the side.
"Kill!"
The first round of siege was the Nerai people, led by Iwamuro Bo Daozhan monk soldiers to storm Kishiwada Castle, he was the official of Jizenji Temple. The so-called Nerai are iron cannon monks with Koyasan Neraiji Temple as the center and several temples around it.
"Archery! Shoot arrows! "Terada Masake commanded the bow on the arrow turret to fight back with all his might, but the fire of the Nerai people was too fierce to raise their heads at all.
Tomomasa Terada, who was shot yesterday, died of an infection from his wounds, and now he has taken over as the head of the Terada family.
"Brother! Brother! Don't be here, it's too dangerous here! "A samurai ran up from under the arrows, he was Matsuura Sokiyo, the adopted son of Matsuura Hizen Mamoru Matsuura, and his own brother was this Terada Masaka.
"But if there is a street battle every time, the city will be lost sooner or later, and there are too many enemies!" Because the sound of iron cannons was deafening, Terada Masaya could only shout at the top of his voice.
"Street fighting, street fighting, it's better than brother you staying here and sending you to death! Walk! Come with me! ”
Bang bang! Bang bang!
The iron cannon hit the arrow and splashed the sawdust on the arrow, and Matsuura Munekiyo dragged his brother off the arrow oar, and many stray bullets flew in his ears from time to time.
"Kill!"
"Raise your gun! Spike! ”
The battle for the city wall began, and the battle soon entered the white heat, and in the face of the ferocious attacks of Saga and Nerai, the Matsuura army began to hold on a little and almost collapsed several times, but fortunately, Matsuura Sokiyo and Terada Masaka led the samurai to fight to the death, and only then did they recover the decline.
The tragic day has passed, this kind of lifeless play is unbearable for both sides, Zaga and Genlai all count the losses of the day, and they all want to cry without tears, this employer is simply a demon who does not take human life seriously, and the feelings of those huge commissions are purely life money.
The defenders of Kishiwada Castle were no better, the enemy's large-scale iron artillery made them unable to stand on the head of the city at all, and they could only fight with the most losses in white-knuckle battles, and the advantage of the city's defense did not exist at all.
"Father! Surrender! If we continue like this, we'll all be done. "In Kishiwada Castle, Matsuura Munekiyo is persuading Matsuura Hizen Mamoru to do so.
"No! How many times have I said it, but no! This is my city! It's my territory! No one can take it away! Matsuura Hizen Shou roared, how could the city that had been recaptured with great difficulty be easily abandoned.
"But the enemy's attack is so crazy that we can't hold it at all."
"Three days! Hold on for three more days! The Awa Miyoshi family has agreed to come to the rescue. ”
"Three days? Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it all day, haven't you seen it during the day? The enemy is completely attacking regardless of losses, those people are all mercenaries of the Hosokawa family, and he doesn't care about their life or death at all! ”
"I don't care! As long as I can defend the city, I don't care how many people die! Matsuura Hizen stood up in a moment's time, and the frantic roar was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
"Hey..."Matsuura Munekiyo, who returned to his residence, sat there helplessly, and there were two samurai in front of him, one was his elder brother Madada Masaka, and the other was Oura Yushin.
"Oura-sama, please go back and tell Ukyo-sama, I'm waiting for the surrender, but I just beg for another half a day, let's convince Matsuura Hizen Mamoru to come, please." Terada Masake prostrated and pleaded very sincerely.
"Okay, I'll explain it to my lord in the future, but time is pressing, and I hope the two adults can solve it as soon as possible. You must know that my lord is now the guardian of a country, and he has the right to occupy the territory by attacking independently, maybe the two adults will serve under my lord in the future, and I must not be disappointed. Oura Weixin's seemingly well-intentioned reminder made Matsuura Munekiyo and Terada Masaka even more frightened, and nodded yes again and again.
