The Takeda army retreated, and the panicked appearance was similar to the menacing posture of the previous siege. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info their retreat so quickly that they quickly disappeared from the sight of the High Heavenly God City.

Inside the High Heavenly God Castle, the earth-shattering cheers came and went, which was a major victory for the Imagawa family, because since the Takeda army invaded Enoe, the Imagawa family had been passively defending. Especially after entering March, the fire-like offensive of the Takeda family has already overwhelmed everyone.

And now, the Takeda family has retreated, and the invincible red army has fled in a hurry like a defeated dog. How could such a situation not be uplifting? Even the Asahinai Dynasty, which has always been strict in governing the army, finally showed its first smile since March at this time.

"Finally...... Victorious......" Asahi Binaithai closed his eyes and listened to the deafening cheers, "Bang! With a bang, he sat down on the ground suddenly, but he lost his strength for a while because of long-term fatigue. But he didn't care at all, just sat there and laughed.

Yes, he knew that this was just a retreat of the Takeda army, and it might not be a few days before the Takeda family would make a comeback, but there was no doubt that this victory was too important, because it proved that the Imagawa family was able to repel the Takeda family, even with the power of artillery.

It's just that in the castle tower, the true expression of the Imagawa clan who looked at all this didn't show any joy at all, he just stared at the direction of the Takeda army's retreat, and muttered to himself, "Now, the last hole card of the family has also been thrown out, but with artillery, how long can it last?" ”

At this moment, a soft and warm body was attached to his back, "Your Highness, you should be happy at this time, those troublesome things, it's better to wait until you're happy to think about it." ”

Hearing this, the Imagawa clan was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's right, think about it carefully, it seems that I have indeed stretched myself too tightly for this period of time." ”

The Imagawa clan soldiers of Taka Tenjin Castle frantically celebrated their victory, while on the other side, the Takeda army did not finally stabilize the panicked troops until they retreated 10 miles.

"The whole army rested in place and collected the ashigaru who fled in all directions. Also, send someone to check it out for me! Let's see what kind of new weapon it is! Takeda Shingen gritted his teeth and said, since he fought his first battle, this defeat can be said to be the most humiliating defeat in his life, because it was not because of the strength of the enemy at all, but because he was defeated by two inexplicable things, this situation, how could he be willing?

After about half an hour, Muto Masayuki hurried over, "My lord, after his subordinates asked those witnesses of Ashigaru, what was hit by the black cylindrical weapon was a huge iron ball. It is said that the speed of the iron ball was extremely fast, and it fell from the High Heavenly God City into the formation of our army almost instantly, and the ashigaru people were stoned to death before they had time to dodge, and the death was extremely miserable. Masayuki Muto reported in a respectful voice.

"Iron balls?" Hearing this, Takeda Shingen muttered, "It sounds a little similar to an iron cannon. ”

"Not bad! His subordinates had heard that in the land of the Southern Barbarians, there was a weapon called artillery, which was of the same nature as the iron cannon, but once fired, it was powerful enough to break through mountains and stones. It is said that many of the ships of the Southern Barbarians were equipped with such weapons. Muto Masayuki said in a deep voice.

"Artillery?" Takeda Shingen nodded when he heard this, he was not afraid of the power of the enemy's weapons, but he was afraid that he would not know what weapons the enemy used, because the known and the unknown are completely different concepts, and the impact on morale is very huge. Because even if there is no way to crack it, after knowing the type of weapon, it will slowly dispel the fear in your heart.

It's like when the iron cannon first appeared, people were full of fear of it, but now, the sound of the iron cannon has long become the sound that will inevitably appear on the battlefield.

"What about the loss?"

"The damage from the artillery attack alone will not be too large, after all, the iron ball will not explode, so the casualties are only those ashigaru who were smashed and affected, in fact, it can be regarded as a weapon similar to a catapult." Masayuki Muto said in a deep voice, "In addition, there were nearly 800 casualties due to the retreat, and they were basically due to trampling on each other......

"Hmm......" Takeda Shingen nodded when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Muto Masayuki did not leave, but stood aside respectfully and waited, because he knew that his lord was thinking about the way to solve it at this time.

After a while, Takeda Shingen looked up at Muto Masayuki and ordered, "Pass my order, and the whole army will return to Suwahara Castle!" ”

Hearing this, Muto Masashi was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately and ran out to give the order. Subsequently, Takeda Shingen summoned Yama Prefecture Masaka and Takasaka Masanbu to give instructions for a while, and the two went down quickly.

Soon, the news of the Takeda Army's return to Suwahara Castle was brought back to Takatenjin Castle by the ninjas.

"Really? The tiger just went back? The Imagawa clan asked in disbelief, in his opinion, no matter how powerful the artillery was, at most it would only annoy Takeda Shingen, and soon the Takeda army would kill again. But now? Takeda Shingen actually returned to Suwahara Castle straightforwardly, how could this not surprise the Imagawa clan?

"I think it's because Takeda Shingen is afraid of his family's artillery, and since March, the Takeda family has maintained a fierce offensive, even if the Takeda army is strong, I'm afraid it needs to take a breath." Asahina said in a deep voice.

"Yes, and I'm afraid Takeda Shingen also needs to think about his next move, after all, he has not been able to break through the defenses of the main city and Kakegawa Castle, and the strategy of sneaking up on Yinma City has also failed. With Takeda Shingen's traditional performance, a simple siege of attrition is the last thing he wants to see. And he must also know that his family is even more afraid of consumption! Hayakawa echoed.

"Hmm...... That being said, you must not let your guard down. Imagawa nodded and admonished.

At night, the firelight swayed in the wind on the walls of the High Heavenly God Castle, and everything around it was quiet. The troops that used to patrol back and forth were now more than half. Finally repelled the Takeda army, and the Imagawa family really needed a good rest.

The two soldiers leaned against the edge of the city walls, constantly talking about what happened during the day. After being pressed and beaten by the Takeda Army for nearly half a month, nothing made them happier than the crazy escape of the Takeda family this morning.

Suddenly, two sharp arrows came at me from nowhere, "Poof! Burst! Two sounds, the two Imagawa soldiers who were in charge of the vigil fell in response.

Immediately, countless grappling hooks hooked the walls of the High Heavenly God City, and immediately several black shadows were seen climbing up quickly.

"Who?!" A loud shout rang out in the night.

"Exposed! Rush me! A loud shout sounded in the night not far away, and then I saw a large number of Ashigaru wearing red armor frantically returning to the High Heavenly God City.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "The piercing screams resounded through the High Heavenly God City, and countless soldiers who were still asleep were pushed awake, and in a daze, they quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons and ran out." Enemy attack? Where else are there enemies? They muttered, but then they saw that there was a lot of fire and shouts of slaughter, and after a stirring, they immediately went into battle.

"What's going on?! Why did the Takeda Army suddenly appear here? Haven't they already returned to Suwahara Castle?! Imagawa asked sharply, and at the same time rushed to the observation deck on the top floor of the castle tower, and immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "It's okay......" Imagawa muttered in relief.

I saw that outside the city wall, the Takeda army frantically rushed to the city gate and hit the city wall, while the Imagawa army inside the city wall continued to block and attack the enemy with the weapons in their hands, and more Imagawa troops were rushing towards the city gate and the city wall from all over the city.

"As long as the walls are not breached by the enemy!" Imagawa Shin put the hanging heart back on his chest, and then immediately put on his armor and slashed out of the castle tower.

"My lord! It's the Takeda family's Red Guard Army! Asahina Tenchao saw Imagawa Shin and hurriedly rushed over to report.

"It turned out to be them, hehe, too, they could rush here from Suwahara Castle so quickly, and they could launch such a fierce offensive, except for the world-famous Akabei, there is no other army in the Takeda family that has such strength." Imagawa sneered.

"Your Highness, I heard that everyone in the Red Reserve Group is a strong man with one as ten, and in order to train this army, it cost the Takeda family a lot of money." Hayakawa's voice came from behind the Imagawa clan.

"Oh? Isn't that right? Let Shingen Takeda have a good taste of meat pain today! Imagawa's expression was a little hideous, and it was obvious that he was in a state of extreme anger at this time.

At this time, he had already figured out that the reason why Takeda Shingen led his army back to Suwahara Castle was to make himself take it lightly and carry out a night attack. And in fact, he did relax, or the entire Imagawa family was completely relaxed. In their opinion, after a day of city battles and rushing back to Suwahara Castle from Takatenjin Castle, if nothing else, they could at least have a good rest tonight.

It's a pity that Takeda Shingen missed the Imagawa family's troops, or rather, the standing system formulated by Oda Yoshinobu himself and strictly enforced.

In this system, the number of people in charge of the vigil must not be less than 20 at any time and under any circumstances. If the range is too large, the number of people must be increased in a certain proportion. And when this system was first formulated, it was only because Oda Yoshinobu used to like to watch the Three Kingdoms.

The shouts of killing filled the inside and outside of Takatenjin Castle, and although they saw the Imagawa family starting to fight back, neither Yamayama Masakei nor Takasaka Masanbu had any intention of retreating, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Shan Changjing shouted.
