In Inuyama Castle, after Maeda Toshiie and Yamauchi Kazutoyo had just set up defenses, they only heard shouts of killing outside the city, and the enemy's reinforcements had already arrived.

However, the clan has no intention of going out of the city and fighting with the enemy, since the weapon is superior, and now there is a city wall as a barrier, it is even more necessary to give full play to this advantage.

When the clan came to the city wall, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the number of enemies outside the city was about 500, Kuroda Castle and Koguchi Castle together were only about 700 people, and now that 500 people were sent at once, the two cities must be empty, isn't this the best time to capture the two cities?

Thinking of this, the clan immediately said to the bee Suga Masakatsu beside him: "You immediately lead the ninja army out of the city from behind, and you must take Koguchi Castle and Kuroda Castle." ”

Wasuka Masakatsu hesitated for a moment and said, "But... In this way, the defense of Inuyama Castle will be too weak, if you ......"

Clan Zong looked at the two stages of shooting, and carried more than 20 early Morning Flag Ashigaru, he this time in order to be able to capture Inuyama Castle, but prepared enough projectiles and gunpowder, almost bought out the gunpowder projectiles in Owari, just these ammunition, let him spend a few hundred costs, enough for each Ashigaru to shoot 100 times, if there is no Sparrow House income support, Clan Zong will not dare to lose a year's income, I saw him confidently said: "Don't worry about me, you just go and take the city." ”

Seeing that the lord had made up his mind, Wasuka Masakatsu did not persuade him any longer, and immediately gathered the ninjas and went straight to the cliff behind the castle.

Outside the city, Tanaka Shinsuke and Nakajima Toyogo Mamoru were commanding the Ashigaru attack at the moment, and they never expected that such a strong castle as Inuyama Castle would not be able to hold out for even an hour under the Takayama clan.

When they first found out that the city was captured by the Takayama clan, the two of them wanted to go back to the city to defend themselves, but after thinking about it, even Inuyama Castle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was broken before reinforcements arrived, so how long could their own small city be defended. And if you don't recapture Inuyama Castle, when the lord returns, you will definitely blame yourself, so it's better to take a risk.

Tanaka Shinsuke and Nakajima Toyogo Shou outside the city commanded Ashigaru to launch attacks again and again, however, the enemy firepower on the city wall was too fierce, and their ammunition seemed to be endless, although each round of shooting could only kill a few Ashigaru, but the deterrent power was full, and his subordinate Ashigaru saw this kind of weapon that would breathe fire and smoke, and after killing him, he was timid when he charged, and refused to use all his strength, otherwise he would have been able to engage the enemy in close combat with him while he was reloading.

Whether it's Tanaka Shinsuke or Nakajima Toyogomori, they all belong to that kind of traditional samurai, and when they fight, they don't do anything other than charge, charge, and charge, and when a samurai like them kills all the ashigaru, or when Ashigaru escapes, it's a failure.

Suddenly seeing this new method of defending the city, the two of them felt very headaches, and they could only watch as their subordinates Ashigaru continued to die, but they couldn't think of any good way to crack it. Behind the peasants and soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that there was a banner to supervise the war, I am afraid that it would not be able to hold on to the present.

Maeda Toshiie and Yamauchi Kazutoyo each commanded a team of flags to shoot alternately, and they looked laid-back, ordering Ashigaru to open fire as soon as the enemy came within forty meters, and then immediately withdrawing and replacing with another team.

This method of defending the city was simply tormenting for hot-blooded warriors like them, and if it weren't for the lord's forcible order not to fight, they would have been killed a long time ago.

Seeing that the enemy had once again entered within 40 meters, Yamauchi Kazutomi decisively ordered to shoot, and the battle, which had been repeated more than 20 times, was staged again, but after this shot, the enemy did not continue to organize the attack, but rested 100 meters away.

A clan that did not leave, also took the opportunity to let the flag of the city to rest, Yamauchi Kazutoyo wiped a handful of sweat and gunpowder smoke on his face, quickly came to the clan and said: "Lord, now there are more than 20 iron cannons damaged, and more than ten Ashigaru injuries, so as to withdraw from the battle, if it continues like this, Ashigaru's losses will be too great, please decide." ”

Maeda Toshiya also came over and said solemnly: "Lord, it's better to send his subordinates out of battle, as long as the lord sends 50 ashigaru to his subordinates, his subordinates will be able to kill the enemy forces outside the city." Please grant your permission. ”,

I saw that the clan shook his head and rejected this proposal, now with the city wall, the iron cannon has the advantage, although there is a slight damage, but it is still within the acceptable range, once out of the city, these advantages are lost, and with 50 flags, and more than 400 enemies to fight, even if they can win, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, in case these fifty flags are entangled, as long as the enemy divides an army to attack the city, the remaining twenty or so ashigaru will not be able to resist the attack at all. The clan sighed in his heart, it seems that his army is too small.

It didn't take long for the sky to show signs of brightening, and the enemy began to organize attacks again and again, and as the battle got longer and longer, there were more and more iron cannons that blew up, and by ten o'clock in the morning, there were only more than 60 iron cannons left that could shoot, and compared with the first battle, the sound of iron cannons became more and more sparse.

Tanaka Shinsuke found out about the defenders' situation and gave an order, and Ashigaru outside the castle saw that there was hope of taking the castle, and the attack began to rage, and he even almost stormed the castle at one point.

In order to boost morale, Tanaka Shinsuke and Nakajima Toyogo Mamoru also didn't care about their own safety, so they personally went into battle to command the Ashigaru battle.

Seeing that the defenders were about to be overwhelmed, but at this critical juncture, dozens of ninjas wearing steel ninja helmets and lock-type armor suddenly appeared from behind them, and they were still attacking outside the city, and more than 20 people were killed in an instant, and the remaining more than 300 Ashigaru saw that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and they did not dare to fight again, and scattered in all directions.

"Maeda Toshika, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, quickly lead all the capable battle flags out of the city to fight, quickly!" Seeing that Wasuka Masakatsu had come back from killing, the clan knew that the other two cities had been captured, so he no longer had any hesitation, and hurriedly ordered the two to go out of battle.

Maeda Toshiie, Yamauchi Kazutoyo received the order, and led the remaining more than 60 flags out of the city, and they themselves were one to kill Tanaka Shinsuke, and the other to challenge Nakajima Toyogo.

Toyogo Nakajima was Maeda Toshiie's opponent, and before he parried twice, he was stabbed in the throat by Maeda Toshiie's shot and fell to the ground.

Tanaka Shinsuke saw that Nakajima Toyohou was killed, and he panicked, and then the knife in his hand was half a beat slower, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo seized the opportunity and stabbed the gun into his chest, Tanaka Shinsuke was in a panic, and hurriedly blocked with the knife in his hand, but it was too late, and blood instantly spurted out of the armor on his chest.

With the two samurai dead, the others were no longer to be worried, and after chasing a few hundred meters, the three retainers led the army back to the castle. While the clan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, he sent ninjas to report to Nobunaga.
