276, Gao Yuan Lonely Smoke (middle)

"Back to His Royal Highness, it's been almost half an hour since I went in!" Oyamada Nobuta said resignedly, although he lowered his head, he still rolled his eyelids from time to time as he spoke, and observed the expression on Oda Nobutada's face.

Although Oyamada Shinryo has clearly surrendered, under the rule of the powerful power of the Takeda family for many years, the psychological deterrence formed cannot be lifted overnight. Oda Nobutada originally wanted him to enter the city to persuade Nishina Morinobu to surrender, the purpose was to achieve the purpose of showing up and saying. It can be said that he didn't have the courage to die, and after emphasizing objectivity in every possible way, he recommended an old monk from the Shinano area and the Takeda family. Oda Nobutada, because he was trying to appease the forces in various places, was not able to persecute him too much.

“…… So far, there hasn't been any unusual movement in the city, maybe there has been some progress! After saying that, he looked at Oda Nobutada again. The messenger who went in was recommended by him, so naturally he tried to make it as good as possible.

"Have you already brought in all the gifts I prepared?" Oda Nobutada inquired very carefully, not missing a single detail. He can have this or that opinion about the person in front of him, but this one thing cannot be ignored, and he must rely on the person in front of him, these people.

"I'll keep an eye on the box and seal it myself, and there won't be any problems!" Shinryo Koyamada immediately assured that now he can only perform as positively as he can.

"That's good......," the attendants took out the marching horses for Oda Nobutada, and he sat down and motioned for the people around him to sit down.

This time, Oda Nobutada prepared two thousand gold judgments for Nishina Shengxin, which can be said to have made enough money, even if it is a gift between the guards here in the eastern country, usually dozens of gold judgments will come to an end, and the 10,000 taels of gold from Uesugi Keikatsu bought the 20,000 troops of the Takeda family and the position of the governor of the Uesugi family.

"Huh~~!" One of the attendants standing behind Oda Nobutada suddenly let out a strange noise, loud enough to attract the attention of the others in the room.

"Hmm~~~ cough!" Oda Nobutada looked at him reproachfully and coughed, meaning to make him pay attention to the occasion.

"Young Master...... You...... You see! The squire was obviously aware of his gaffe, but he still pointed in the direction in front of him and said with a strange expression.

Everyone's eyes followed the direction he pointed, it was the location of Gao Yuan City, because of the Jin meeting and conversation just now, so for a short moment everyone forgot about its existence. Now everyone turned back after being lured by this, but the surprise was no less than that of the servant.

"Hmm~~~ cough!" It was from me, but it wasn't noticeable in the midst of the chatter. I subconsciously walked a few steps away from Mazar, squinting my eyes and still not seeing clearly, I stretched out my right hand to the side, and I couldn't help but make all kinds of speculations in my head.

Because this is in the mountains of Koshin, although the weather is not very hot at 9 a.m., the sun is already starting to shine. A shining bright spot emerged from the head of Gaoyuan City, falling to the army not far in front of the city in the form of a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. It seems to have been projectile with a device such as a small trebuchet, but could it be that the defenders of the city have begun to counterattack? Or do they want to break through?

Sakurai handed me the binoculars, and I leaned in front of me and began to adjust the focus, and the scene gradually became clear on the side of the lens. "Ah~~~!" I was amazed again, it is true that as long as people live, there will always be new insights.

Patches of "golden rain" were scattered in the city, and the golden judgment that fell from the sky was like a gift from God and fell into the camp of the Oda army, causing a certain degree of chaos, and the source is unknown. The defenders of Gaoyuan City have already made a choice, and their move is enough to leave a vivid mark in the history books and miscellaneous records, but I don't know how "we" as a supporting character will be described.

Kenneng was that the trebuchet model was so small that it took a dozen hits to finish throwing Jin Xiaoju, and I turned my head to look at Oda Nobutada, who had just left his binoculars.

Oda Nobutada's face was naturally not so good-looking, the ground was constantly changing red and green, and the teeth in his mouth were also grinding, and I could clearly hear the gurgling sound from three meters away. The others around him were also watching him with various emotions, waiting for his final decision.

"You all go back and prepare, and in half an hour you will start attacking the city!" After about ten minutes, Oda Nobutada said slowly, the finger knuckle that had just been released had not completely returned to its normal blood color. At this time, he was no longer angry, but he was full of unsolvable disappointment and helplessness.

************************************************

"When...... When ...... "Kaizenji Temple's bell rang for the first time, the aftermath flickered in the surrounding valleys. This should have been a **** Buddha voice that preached compassion and heavenly principles, but now it has become a law of killing.

After the first bell rang, the troops below began to move, and the soldiers in the front row began to shout and charge forward, apparently full of morale, I don't know if it had something to do with the gold coins just thrown. Gao Yuan can only be regarded as a mid-mountain city, and our side occupies an absolute advantage in numbers, so the way of playing siege warfare seems to be a bit traditional.

"Your Highness the Stars, how long do you think it will take for us to take this lofty city?" Now that the surroundings are clean again, Oda Nobutada seems a little bored. Now that the battle had officially begun, he lost his spirits, and sat down on the matza over there and yawned.

"It should be solved before dark, after all, I don't know what magic weapon they have in their hands!" I pretended to answer lightly, feeling a little strange in my heart, facing this obstacle in front of me, I couldn't tell whether I wanted to take it or not.

"Although it's a pity, it's not surprising, it seems that the son of Xin Xuangong should be like this!" Although Oda Nobutada's words were weak, I still heard the true feelings. Although they are enemies who attack each other, this does not prevent each other from appreciating each other.

"The young master is right, I think the same thing in my heart!" I didn't pay attention for a while, and blurted out what was in my heart.

At this time, the front line of the attacking and defending sides had already started a fight, and it was unusually bloody and fierce as soon as it came up. Although it is a half-mountain city, the space under the city wall is still not wide enough, and the bustling attackers can erect at most a dozen ladders at the same time, and the soldiers below can only climb up one by one.

The spear was the most common standard weapon of this era, and most of them, whether they were peasants or elite ashigaru, were used for this kind of weapon, and the difference was only in quality. However, this weapon is not suitable for siege cities, not only does it not pose a threat to the enemy on the city's head, but it is definitely a burden when climbing ladders. In fact, in view of the large and small castles in Japan, which are full of mountains, I think that the proportion of siege weapons in the grassroots system should be increased on a large scale.

As it turned out, most of the creepers were stabbed in the middle of the ladder and tumbled into the crowd below. Only a very small number of warriors reached the head of the city, mostly low-level samurai with swords in their hands, but in the face of the weakness of the local numbers, they were immediately killed and thrown down.

In simple terms, this is a one-sided consumption, but because the huge proportion of numbers is ignored, one person will immediately fall on top of ten people, and even the hundreds of corpses that have been produced are drowned in the sea of people. On the other hand, on the side of the defenders, although they seem to have an absolute advantage, they can fall one by one, and it is impossible to add anything.

The battle was better on the side of the city gates, in other words, it was more brutal for the defenders, and the closed wooden gates here held their posts, but they could not directly inflict any damage on the attackers. A large group of soldiers gathered there and slammed against the gate, and even in the midst of the clamor of shouts of killing, a dull crash could still be faintly heard, as if it were crashing into people's hearts.

Now I am also an experienced "military strategist", and I know that Gaoyuan City cannot be defended by this voice alone. The hollow sound showed that their gates were not made of stones and earth, and that the attacking troops falling from the city were mainly light feathered arrows, and that they had not been prepared for a long time by all means, and that defense was not the fighting style that the Takeda clan had traditionally had, but today, this alone is enough to kill!

The truly brutal battle will unfold later, in the winding alleys inside the city walls.

"Lord, can I bring some people over!" Shinhachiro crept up behind me and said in a small voice that didn't fit his character.

"You ......" I looked at him, and his face was eager. I looked at Oda Nobutada again, but he closed his eyes and didn't notice me.

Shinhachiro is no longer the rookie on the battlefield who didn't know anything back then, and he's noticed the same things I noticed. This time, he was temporarily assigned to my guard battalion just so that he could show his skills and fight against famous generals, but now Shinano is almost pacified, and he has not found a chance.

"How many people can there be in such a small town, are you also interested?" I was noncommittal, just asked him rhetorically.

"Although there are few people, it is a strong enemy, and it is rare to have a chance to fight with the Takeda family!" He was a little nervous in his excitement, and the "Shura's Fury" in his hand flashed with a little brilliance.

"Look! Look! There was a whisper of excitement all around, and I instinctively turned my head at once.

The gates had been slammed open, small but ever-expanding. An impatient samurai swooped sideways into the room, but was immediately attacked from within, and then he fell, dead or wounded. The people behind immediately came up, and this great work that was enough to change fate seemed to be within reach.

Just when everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion, several small windows on the city gate were suddenly broken from the inside, and the window frames fell down along with them. More than thirty warriors dressed in armor with strips of white cloth on their heads jumped out of the large hole formed, smashed the inexplicable attacking troops under the city to their backs, and then slashed and slashed in the dense crowd......
