On the first day of the battle of the cage city of Yanjicheng, the dense fog has completely dissipated, and from a distance, the white walls of Yanjia City can be seen very clearly.

The Echigo army's offensive continued, and although hundreds of corpses had been left in front of the Tengu Maru, the Echigo army's offensive continued uninterrupted.

Under the command of Katsunaga Sebe and Fujishi Nakajo, a team of foot light teams with heavy casualties was replaced, and then replaced by a new force. And the reward for attacking Iwaki Castle has been raised again, and whether it is a samurai or ashigaru, as long as they are the first to attack Iwaki Castle, they will be awarded 200 stone Zhixingdi.

Listening to the roar of iron cannons on the Tengu Pill, Sebe Katsunaga's face was pale, and he was pacing back and forth with the military equipment in his hand, while his eyes were always on the Tengu Pill in Iwaki Castle.

At this time, an envoy rode a fast horse and came to the main camp of the Ichiban team, dismounted and bowed to Katsucho Sebe, and said: "Lord Sebe, Ono Ashigaru Team, Yamagami Ashigaru Team, suffered heavy casualties and lost combat strength, Ono-sama was killed, and Yamagami-sama was wounded by an arrow. ”

Katsucho Sebe nodded expressionlessly, and said, "The order is for the Ono team, the Yamagami team will retreat, and the Tanaka team will be replaced, and the Kinoshita team will attack." ”

"Oh!"

After receiving the order, the envoy moved neatly on the horse, and then Katsucho Shibe heard it from afar.

"Team Tanaka, Team Kinoshita, come back with me."

Immediately there was the sound of a string of armor colliding, and another group of ashigaru people with black flags on their backs and spears on their shoulders ran up the hill in small steps.

Seeing this scene, Katsucho Sebe said with a grim face: "Takeda Army, I want to see how long you can support it today." ”

Iwaki Castle Tengu Maruma.

"Bang! Syllable! ”

The loud sound of the stake pounding on the Otemen kept ringing.

Above Ninomaru, the roar of iron cannons was incessant, and the arrows were even more inclined to rain down. More than a dozen Echigo Ashigaru held their shields high in both hands, covering them, resisting the fire of the Takeda Army's iron cannons and bows.

In the cave of Otemon, six samurai armed with swords stared at the shaking thick wooden gate with a wary gaze. And the seven or eight burly, bare-armed, Echigo Ashigaru beside them, holding a large wooden stake burning at the front of the front in their forehand, hammered Tengumaru's big door fiercely one by one.

The bows and arrows of the Takeda army, the iron cannons have been non-stop, and from time to time there are unlucky Echigo Ashigaru in the Otemen Gate, who was accidentally shot or shot by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Whenever someone was wounded or killed, the Echigo army in the rear would immediately rush to Otemon to fill the position of the fallen foot. On the mountain road farther away, the mountain wind was howling, and countless Echigo Ashichi held their breath and stood behind with guns and knives, waiting for the moment when the Otemon Gate was breached.

"We can't let them hammer the door with a stake anymore." Li Xiao said in the Ninomaru arrow. He turned his head and shouted softly to the Takeda Sho below, "Throw me a porcelain vase." ”

Oh!

The Takeda Army agreed, and then on the Ninomaru, several Takeda soldiers took out seven or eight porcelain bottles, and then they threw them at the Otemen with great force.

The porcelain vase slammed into the vicinity of Otemon, and the Echigo army's light shield shattered one after another. The liquid inside suddenly spilled all over them.

When the Echigo Gunashigaru sniffed his nose close to the wet place, his face changed dramatically, and he shouted, "It's not good, it's oil." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a loud shout from the Ninomaru of Iwaki Castle.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the narrow room of the Ninomaru warp wheel of the Takeda Army, several arrows wrapped in mariss-lit arrows shot towards Otemon.

The fire ignited in an instant when it met the oil, and suddenly the Otemon Castle Cave fell into a sea of fire. The Echigo soldiers who were on fire jumped and shouted, threw out the arrow boards in their hands, and then rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire.

At this time, on the Takeda Gun's Ninomaru, the iron cannon bow and arrow fired a volley towards Otemon, and after a round, there was no longer a living Echigo army in Otemon.

The head of the Echigo army in the distance, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he glanced back, and saw that the Echigo ashigaru behind him saw this scene, and their faces were pale.

After the fire on Otemon was extinguished, another wave of Echigo samurai warriors, carrying the arrow shield, rushed to Otemon to take the place of the original dead in battle.

The sound of the hammer at the Otemen sounded again, and at this moment, the little oil bottles that the Takeda Army had were all used up.

Then Takeda Gunninomaru's arrow oar, he began to throw stones condescendingly towards the mountain road. Several of the arrow boards were smashed to pieces, and they were crushed under the stones along with the Echigo troops hiding behind.

The Echigo army Ashigaru was hindered by stones and could not go into battle. The head of the iron artillery team hurriedly ordered the iron artillery team to shoot at the arrow oar, which forced the Takeda army to stop the tactic of throwing stones.

Li Xiao was still carefully observing the battle situation, for the moment, it was not the main thing to give the Echigo army a lot of casualties, what the Takeda army needed was to delay time. At present, everything is good for the Takeda army, and although the Echigo army is outnumbered, it is slow to hinder and not break through in front of the Tengu Maru.

At this moment, Li Xiao heard the sound of someone hurriedly stepping on the wooden plank of the arrow oar.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiao turned around and asked.

"Lord Huiyu, Lord Masanobo, let me tell you that Tengu Maru's Oteema Gate is about to be breached."

"Well, I know," Li Xiao said without hesitation, "immediately let Lord Baoke lead the team to support." ”

"Oh!" The other party said yes and hurriedly went downstairs.

Li Xiao looked at the door of Tengu Maru's big hand, and the loud sound of the wooden stake hitting the door was still ringing.

Li Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If you want to capture the Tengu Pill, it's not that easy. ”

With a spear in his hand, Hoshina led a team of Ashigaru and hurried from Ninomaru to support Tengu Maru.

When he arrived at the Tengu Maru Otemon Gate, Hoshina saw that the Ashigaru Commander stationed at the Tengu Maru, the Baba Nobubo was staring at the Otemen with a calm face.

Several huge wooden reinforcements were erected behind the thick wooden doors of Otemon, but despite this, the thick wooden doors were still slammed, and each impact caused dust to fly near the door frames, and fine sand particles fell down, as if they were crumbling.

Now a team of gunashigaru is holding up their guns, lined up in two columns, standing behind the big gate.

In the outer circle of the gun, more than 20 Takeda family bows and iron cannons are ashigaru, all aiming their bows and arrows at the entrance of the Otemon hole, ready to fire at any time.

Bao Ke Masanori nodded towards Baba Shofang, and arranged his troops behind Baba Shofang in a further circle.

The Echigo Gunashigaru men outside the Otemon Gate, sweating like rain, held a large wooden stake that was burning with fire, and slammed it against the Oteemon Gate of Tengumaru hundreds of times.

At present, the big door is finally showing a trend of not being supported, and these Echigo Ashigaru people are happy and more energetic.

"Bang!" After a shout.

Finally, I heard a loud bang!

The gates of Tengumaru Otemon fell with a bang.

The Echigo Ashigaru in the Otemon Gate was overjoyed, and as the first samurai or ashigaru to attack Tengumaru, they could obtain the territory of two hundred Chiyuki. Ordinary ashigaru can also get an immediate promotion to samurai.

"The gates are broken!" On the mountain road, the cheers of thousands of Echigo soldiers resounded loudly. They were already waiting impatiently.

"I'm Gorou Nosuke Nitta!"

One of the Echigo samurai led by himself reported his name and first rushed into the Otemon, and Gorosuke Nitta reported his name in order to confirm his military exploits and to facilitate the fact that there would be no deviation when the rear army paid for his merits.

After the samurai Nitta Gorou nosuke rushed in, the Echigo army around him also swarmed to follow, and on the mountain road, the Echigo army also rushed out of the arrow board and rushed towards the Otemon Gate of Tengumaru.

The moment Gorou Nosuke Nitta stepped into the Otemon, his face changed.

"Not good!"

Gorousuke Nitta was just about to turn around and return to the place when he heard a salvo of iron cannon roaring behind him.

Nitta Gorounosuke suddenly felt as if his body had been hit by an iron fist, and then the whole person threw himself forward to the ground.

"Rush! The gates are broken! ”

On the mountain road, the black flags of the Echigo army sounded loudly, and countless people rushed towards the Oteemon Gate of Tengu Maru at this moment, intending to occupy the gate immediately.

And at this moment, on the Ninomaru of Iwaki Castle, the Tengu Maru, the iron cannon of the Takeda Army is ashigaru, and the bow is light, and they are full of firepower.

Countless arrows fell, and the sound of iron cannons resounded incessantly.

After a burst of gunsmoke, the Echigo army, which rushed to the city gate from the mountain road, was put down by iron cannon bows and arrows on the spot, and several people went directly to the end of the cliff and were bombarded by iron cannons and rolled down the mountain. The Echigo Shogaru was beaten and retracted back behind the arrow board again.

At this time, two or three Echigo Ashigaru, who had just rushed into the castle, also fled with their backs from the tiger's mouth at the castle gate, but a few arrows shot out from the narrow space of the Tengu Maru warp wheel behind them, but they caught up with them and pierced through the bamboo armor behind them.
