The soldiers on the attacking side were a little dazed by the sudden blow, and the troops behind were facing the enemy who suddenly almost touched the tip of their nose, and awkwardly swung their weapons more than five meters long, so that the chance of injuring their comrades was several times that of attacking the enemy. As for those who had already entered the cave in front of them, they didn't even notice that these enemies had fallen from the sky, and they were even foolish when they were cut down from behind.

"It's really ......" My eyes were a little straight, and I didn't know what to say, and I turned my head just to see Oda Nobutada, who had just come to his senses. Young master, isn't it a little unexpected? I asked knowingly.

"With such a loyal and brave man, the Takeda family is actually ...... Ay~! Oda Nobutada let out a long sigh, with indescribable regret and deep envy. I've heard of the bravery of the samurai of the Eastern Kingdom for a long time, and I don't want to go to it. Even after Koshin, there are vast areas in Kanto, Hokuriku, and Tohoku. Seriously, I'm a little bit of a little bit less confident in the world now! ”

"Young master doesn't have to be like this, even if it's as strong as Takeda, isn't it time to fall now!" I was also shocked by this vision, but it did not affect my faith. "The samurai of the Takeda family are indeed good, but this only adds a touch of magnificence to their downfall. The Mandate of Heaven has not been borne on them, and this is also a helpless thing! ”

"May it be as you say!" Oda Nobutada once again turned his gaze to the front, and I also refocused on the situation of the battle.

It was impossible for the thirty or so samurai to jump from a height unaffected, but they gathered together with a lot of perseverance to block the doorway. After the more than 100 Oda soldiers at the gate were killed, these Takeda samurai did not retreat into the city, but turned to face the enemy who was used like a tide. The city gate that had been opened was slowly closed again, but the thirty or so samurai turned into a pile of flesh and blood.

"Young Master...... It's time to decide! "I didn't turn my head and say such a sentence, although I can't bear it, I am still the deputy general of this army after all." Significant progress has been made with the Lord, and we cannot afford to delay here for too long. If Takeda Jun's style of play continues, it is difficult to say that our people will not be affected by the momentum! ”

"Order all the generals: send the subordinate guards and samurai to form a death squad and concentrate on attacking the city gate!" Oda Nobutada was a little more sentimental than Oda Nobunaga, but he was definitely not an indecisive person.

"Did you hear the young master's order?" I said to Shinhachiro, who was already a little restless, that the "Fury of Shura" had been turned over and over in his hands I don't know how many times. "You bring two hundred guards and listen to the unified arrangement of the commanding generals in front!"

"Let's have Kiyohiko-sama as the assault leader!" Oda Nobutada suddenly spoke there, turning the seemingly forced decision into a completely active act. "The martial arts of the warriors of the Zhuxing family have long been spread all over the world, and Lord Kiyohiko is praised by his father as the first fierce general of the Warring States who is 'half of the world's martial arts'. Today's affairs are all up to you, and I hope you can once again establish a miracle that will attract the attention of the world! ”

"I will live up to the high expectations of His Royal Highness!" Shinhachiro saluted Oda Nobutada with his gun, then turned around and strode down the mountain, and someone else arranged for me and Oda Nobutada to participate in the samurai hurriedly followed.

The effect is obvious, and the effect is realized! As soon as Shinhachiro arrived at the front with more than 1,300 samurai cobbled together from all sides, the form of the battlefield was immediately changed. More than 200 men quickly climbed to the top of the city as they swung their swords and slashed the spears that had been pierced, and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders there, followed by more climbing. Shinhachiro personally led people to crash open the gate again, and this time the team entered the city smoothly.

The fighting did not disappear, but became more secretive and cruel, everything was blocked inside the city walls, and the outside gradually calmed down. As the minutes ticked by, Oda Nobutada and I could only wait helplessly here. At this time, we can't help much, we can't personally direct the street fighting!

"Why haven't you taken it down yet, what are the people in front of you doing?" Oda Nobutada frowned, looking extremely impatient. From the beginning to the present, the news that has come is that "XX is fighting fiercely" and "XX is fighting repeatedly", and it can be said that there is progress and snail-like.

"It's a little slow!" I looked at my watch, and it had been three and a half hours since I stormed the gates, which was not satisfactory.

"Back to the young master, the battle is fierce everywhere ahead!" At this time, one of Oda Nobutada's close associates ran back, and he was sent by Oda Nobutada to the front to find out the reason.

"Don't talk about the nonsense that everyone knows, and talk about what caused it!" Oda Nobutada became a little irritable, which was extremely unusual for him.

"Returning to the young master! The Takeda army defended very resolutely, and any building would have to be fought with our army repeatedly......" Hot drops of sweat flowed down the forehead of the attendant to his eyes, but he didn't even have time to wipe it. "The Takeda Army is all fighting on instinct, and it doesn't need anyone's command at all, just sticking to every place that can be held. Without any gate, our army can enter without bloodshed. As long as the Takeda Army can still move, it will fight our army, and those who are seriously injured and weak will also cut themselves off, so we haven't captured a single prisoner so far! ”

Oda Nobutada and I looked at each other and were speechless for a while. The Takeda army should still have six or seven hundred people now, and the terrain in the city is complicated, so it will not fight until midnight.

"Your Highness the Stars, is there anything you can do?" Oda Nobutada asked me.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, indicating that there was nothing I could do.

"What about you? What's the best way to do it! Oda Nobutada expanded the scope and asked the subordinate personnel around him.

Most of them bowed their heads, and only one seemed to have something to say. "Your Highness, I dare to make a suggestion!" Takenaka Hanbei spoke after getting my approval.

"Your Highness Takenaka, please have something to say!" Oda Nobutada couldn't wait to speak, his tone very eager.

"In the following simple opinion: since we can't attack, we might as well outwit it!" Takenaka Hanbei subconsciously looked at the foot of the mountain, where there were several lines of people who had not moved. "Our army can choose more than 100 capable iron runners to enter the commanding heights in the city, such as the enemy tower at the city gate, the battle between the outer city and the inner city, etc., and condescendingly shoot the enemy behind the courtyard gate. The Takeda army is not afraid of death, and we can let the general ashigaru approach and lead them to show their heads! ”

"That's a good idea, and that's all there is to it!" Oda Nobutada took a few steps back and forth, and then said, "Since the iron artillery garrison is now under the command of Lord Tsuda, then he will arrange the manpower!" What do you see, Your Highness the Stars? ”

"It's all up to the young master's arrangement!" I said briskly. Now that the Iron Artillery Corps has been handed over to him for command, there is no need for me to make irresponsible remarks about these trivial matters.

The strategy of the Takenaka Hanbei was still very effective, and the battle was over around 5:40 p.m., because it was summer, so the sun was still hanging high. Oda Nobutada wanted to go into the city to have a look, and I was also a little curious about this son of Takeda Shingen, whom I had never befriended.

Black smoke was still rising from several places in the city, and it seemed that the defenders had tried to set fires before, but it should have been extinguished quickly, and it did not cause him major losses. The main damage is due to the fighting in the battle, so it is some doors, windows, walls, etc., and there is no foundation and root involved. As Oda Nobutada and I walked through the streets, soldiers were coming and going to clean up the corpses of soldiers on both sides.

"How can there be so many women?" Oda Nobutada suddenly stopped and pointed to the doorway of a courtyard. There were indeed many women there, some in armor and some in cloth, of all ages.

"Back to the young master, these people also died in battle!" A general who was directing the aftermath immediately came running over and explained to us: "...... The resistance of the enemy was so stubborn that even the women fought to the death with weapons in their hands. So in the offensive we ...... every step of the way."

"Or did not a single prisoner of war be caught?" Oda Nobutada's brows furrowed even tighter, and his voice unconsciously rose.

"Yes...... Yes! The general stuttered slightly. We caught one of the wounded, but then we accidentally killed him and stabbed one of the guards......"

"Since there are so many women here, there are always some children who have no fighting power! Where did they all go? "Oda Nobutada still doesn't give up.

"In a yard near the granary, but they were all stabbed to death! Judging by the stiffness of the corpse, it should have happened last night......"

There was nothing to say about this situation, and my gaze wandered, and a woman who had fallen on the stairs caught my attention. This was a woman in her twenties, dressed in armor covered in blood, holding a naginata tightly in her hand, and still having six or seven broken spear heads left on her body.

"The Shinano people who surrendered to us identified that this was the wife of Katsuemon Suwa, and one person actually killed five or six of us!" The general noticed my gaze and spoke to me after answering Oda Nobutada's question.

"Hmm......" nodded silently, such a tragic battlefield is unique in my military career. Where is the body of Morinobu Nishina? "I'm even more interested in this person, so I have to see it!

"It's in the inner chamber of the castle tower, but it'...... What a miserable scene it was! "Maybe thinking of that scene, the general's body trembled unconsciously." Nishina Morinobu had already suffered a foot injury and retreated into the inner chamber, and the abdomen was dissected using the 'Ten Characters' method. But then the pursuers immediately attacked the inner room, and he actually picked up the knife again and began to fight, but the wound burst and blood splattered everywhere, and his intestines collapsed to the wall...... "With his words, I felt something in my stomach churning upwards for a while.

"The herald is to bury Renke Shengxin, Your Highness Zhuxing, you will do it for you, and I won't be able to go!" After Oda Nobutada finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the city with a grim face.

Looking at the castle tower in the midst of smoke and sun, my legs couldn't help but sink a little.
