High Tenjin Castle, Ichinomaru. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The resistance of the Imagawa army was still so fierce, even if the Yama Yama Shokei faction shouted that the Asahina Tai Dynasty had been killed in battle, it did not weaken the resistance of the Imagawa army in the slightest.

"The city is in the people! The city is ruined! Countless people shouted in their mouths and continued to attack the Takeda Army. Even before they died, they still tried to attack the Takeda Army by any means, and this momentum of not fearing death really made the Ashigaru of the Takeda Army feel fearful.

"Don't be afraid! They're just imposing! I can't last long! Seeing this, Changjing hurriedly shouted, and at the same time personally led Chibei to rush to the front line. He knew very well that once the offensive of the Takeda army weakened, it would probably be difficult to take Ichinomaru and attack the castle tower today.

"It's really unbelievable that the Imagawa family can still have such courage today. It's a pity that it's too late......" Takeda Shingen sat in the middle of the main camp and couldn't help but sigh after hearing the report from the front.

"Lord, it's better to stop the attack for the time being, the enemy is only so brave now with his blood and being infected by the environment, as long as he waits for half a day, it is impossible for them to maintain this kind of morale." Muto Masayuki said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen shook his head slightly, "Indeed, but if you can't take the High Heavenly God City before the arrival of the Oda family's reinforcements, then it will undoubtedly become more difficult after the Oda family's reinforcements arrive." Takeda Shingen said, looking intently at Takatenjin Castle and sighing, "Although I don't know if the person who will come will be Oda Yoshinobu or Oda Nobunaga, but no matter which one, I don't want to fight with it." ”

Takeda Shingen's words are undoubtedly a bit suspicious of increasing his popularity, but there is no way to do it, as a member of the siege network, Takeda Shingen has to consider how to defeat the Oda family, but also has to consider how to gain more benefits after defeating the Oda family. In this case, he had to think about how he could keep more troops.

And if you take the High Heavenly God City, not only can you use this to give the Oda family a dismount and boost their morale, but also let the Oda family have less of the two fortified cities of High Heaven God City and Kakegawa City to defend. In this way, Takeda Shingen was able to force the Oda army to fight with him.

Whether it was Oda Yoshinobu or Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen had never feared anyone in terms of field warfare. It is true that Oda Yoshinobu seems to be unparalleled in the world, and the Death God under his command is a very powerful army. But Takeda Shingen still has faith in his own troops. Or rather, he had confidence in his own command.

But this is also normal, Takeda Shingen, as a generation of overlords, if he doesn't even have the confidence to defeat the Oda family in a field battle, then what kind of courage did he gain to attack the Oda family? And what is it that makes it one of the most powerful daimyo in the world?

"Report! Our army has broken through Ichinomaru and started attacking the castle tower! A herald ran in and shouted.

In a word, many Takeda family retainers in this formation were immediately excited, because Ichinomaru was breached, which meant that the High Heaven God City was already in the bag of the Takeda family.

"Changji, Shingang, Changhui, Changxin! The four of you will lead your army to Ichinomaru to support, so be sure to take the castle tower as soon as possible. The rest of the people go to all parts of the city to search for military supplies! Takeda Shingen said in a deep voice, without any excitement on his face. Although the Imagawa family's performance was beyond his expectations, from the beginning of this war, Takeda Shingen never took the Imagawa family seriously. His opponent was only Oda Yoshinobu or Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements.

"Yes!"

At the observation deck of the castle tower, the Imagawa clan looked at the battlefield under the castle quietly, at this time, there were less than 4,000 people left in the Ichinomaru to protect the castle tower, and they kept waving the weapons in their hands to block the attack of the Takeda army, but they were already exhausted, and it seemed that it was difficult to really stop the footsteps of the Takeda family.

Yes, the Imagawa army, which had 4,000 men, and 13,000 men, has only 4,000 people left. The remaining 9,000 people, all of whom had already died in the battle to defend the High Heavenly God City. And for this, the Takeda army also paid the price of nearly 2,000 people. Among them, the vast majority of the Takeda army was killed during the attack on the outer city, while the Imagawa army was more likely to be killed after the outer city was breached, and the Takeda army broke in.

Standing up, after all, is just an ordinary person who has been trained for a long time and is fully equipped. In the face of the Takeda family's army of a hundred battles, especially the army of a hundred battles led by countless fierce generals, after losing the city wall as a support, how could the Imagawa army be their opponent?

Eventually, a large number of Takeda troops stormed Ichimaru and surrounded the castle tower and the remaining Imagawa regiments. A large number of archers and musketeers aimed at the enemy under the cover of the pikemen, and at the first order, they would immediately shoot.

In the face of the enemy's encirclement, the Imagawa army, which was less than 4,000, held their weapons tightly, and their expressions could not be seen clearly with their gray faces, but it could be seen from the resolute eyes and the weapons they clenched that their determination was strong at this time.

"Well, has this finally come to this moment?" Imagawa looked down and muttered to himself.

"Your Highness! The concubine body is ready! Hayakawa said as he looked firmly at the back of the Imagawa clan.

"Hehe, then ......" Imagawa chuckled when he heard this, then looked below the castle tower, suddenly took a sharp breath, and shouted as if he was about to use all the strength of his life, "Takeda Shingen! I, the Imagawa clan, will neither surrender nor flee! I'll just stand here waiting for you! If you have the ability, come and get my head yourself! ”

Naturally, Takeda Shingen, who was outside the city, would not hear this shout, but it was obviously impossible for the Imagawa army and the Takeda army who were in Ichimaru not to hear it. And after hearing this voice, one of the remaining Imagawa family samurai suddenly shouted, "The city is here!" ”

"The city is ruined, people are !!"

Seeing this, Yamayama Shojing, who had wanted to persuade the Imagawa family to surrender, immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth and swallowed them back into his stomach, while frowning at the Imagawa army in front of him, whose morale was rising again, and the Imagawa clan who was standing at the castle tower observatory and wearing armor.

And the dynamics here were quickly passed into the ears of Takeda Shingen, but in this regard, Takeda Shingen just chuckled, "Hehe, this kid of the Imagawa clan, I didn't expect that at the last moment, he finally caught up with his father." ”

"Lord ......" Muto Masayuki looked at Takeda Shingen with a hesitant expression, he wanted to persuade Takeda Shingen not to pay attention to Imagawa Shingen's words, because in his opinion, there was no need for Takeda Shingen to appear at this time. In fact, in Muto Masayuki's view, Imagawa's words sound very naïve, after all, in today's war, who will fight against the generals?

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen suddenly smiled dumbly and said, "Changxing, are you worried about me?" Hehe, I'm already past that age of fighting fiercely, and even if I really want to ride a horse, the Imagawa clan is really not qualified......" Takeda Shingen shook the military fan in his hand, and then said lightly, "Pass my order, if you don't surrender, you won't be killed!" Before it gets dark, you must capture Tenjin Mountain Castle! ”

"Yes!"

With Takeda Shingen's order, the Takeda army that surrounded the Imagawa army immediately attacked, and muskets and arrows continued to shoot into the formation of the Imagawa army, but at this time, there were not many muskets and bows left in the Imagawa army, and even many musketeers and archers had been killed in Ninomaru and Sannomaru. So in the face of this long-range attack, the only thing the Imagawa army could do was to rush into the gun forest that the Takeda army had already arranged.

"Rush! Don't be afraid! A samurai of the Imagawa family shouted, his name was Tosa Asanobu, he was just a general of the Imagawa family, but now, he was a real retainer of the Imagawa family. I saw that he rushed forward with an indomitable momentum, because he knew that at this time, he had to stand up as a retainer of the Imagawa family before it was possible to break through the Takeda family's formation.

It's just that he was greeted by a rain of arrows and a dense barrage of muskets, and almost instantly, he didn't know how many bullets he had hit. "Charge...... Protection...... Lord ......" Tosa Asami looked at the Takeda army in front of him with his blurred eyes, stretched out his hand forward, and shouted weakly in words that could almost only be heard by himself, but before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground and could not get up again.

However, his death did not cause any blow to the soldiers of the Imagawa family, or rather, the Imagawa army at this time had already become numb to death, they just shouted the same slogan and frantically killed the Takeda army.

"The city is in the people! The city is ruined! ”

"These guys ......" Yama Yama Masakai and Sanada Nobutsuna and the others who rushed over looked at the Imagawa army in front of them in shock, they never thought that in addition to the group of madmen from the Ichizong sect, there were such people who were not afraid of life and death. Although they had been taught for a long time before, at that time, after all, there were still Ninomaru and Sannomaru to defend them, and there were reinforcements from the Oda family to look forward to. But now? After Ichimaru was breached, the war was actually over, because with a castle tower and 4,000 remnants in front of them, they were no match for their own family at all.

"Such a formidable enemy, worthy of respect!" Shan County Changjing suddenly pulled out his sword and strode forward, saying as he walked.

"That's right, we'll send them on their way ourselves." Sanada Nobutsuna and others replied in a deep voice.

In a war of this magnitude, there was no longer a need for their high-ranking samurai to take action in person, but they still went out in person, just to give the highest praise to the enemies in front of them.

Gradually, the shouts of killing below the castle tower of the High Heavenly God City became weaker and weaker, until there was silence again.

As the sun sets, a dim glow envelops the heavens and the earth, just like the fate of the Imagawa family.
