Li Xiao wore a big armor and carried a big gun and rushed into the hand gate of Guofeng City, while the two newly recruited subordinates, Shima Shengmeng and Shigang Yiyu, who had just recovered from his injuries, were guarding behind Li Xiao with a katana.

Kunimine Castle is not a big city, and like Takato Castle, it is also a Ninomaru Honmaru, a structure of two curved wheels. After the Takeda Katsuyori army attacked from the Te Gate, he fought all the way up the path and headed straight for Honmaru.

Seeing that the back door was lost, the defenders of Honmaru hurriedly paid attention to the transfer of force, and shot arrows at the soldiers of the Takeda clan who were marching from the Honmaru castle tower or standing on the edge of the curved wheel, but there were no casualties. However, after the barricades on the road, from time to time, several soldiers loyal to the Kohata family fought their way out of the earthen ramparts like a barricade, trying to delay the Takeda army's invasion of Honmaru.

But none of these people caused any obstacles to Li Xiao and them, and along the way, the iron artillery team and the archery team of Takeda Katsuyori in the outer periphery also stood in several rows, and together under the city, they began to shoot intensively at the defenders of the national peak castle Honmaru. Suddenly, several soldiers of the Kohata family who had been shot or shot rolled down from the Honmaru earthen ramparts.

By the time Li Xiao and the others attacked the front of the main gate, a fire had already ignited on the side of the Otemen gate, and black smoke was billowing out.

The gate has just been breached by Kohata Ken, but the remnants of the defenders are still stubbornly resisting near Otemon and not giving an inch, and it is estimated that it will take some time for Kohata Ken to kill here. Li Xiao was overjoyed when he saw this, because this would break through the Honmaru and capture the city lord Kohata Jingchun's work, and it was very likely that it would be his own.

But before Li Xiao could be happy, the defenders of Guofeng Castle made a final fight, and more than twenty samurai of the Kohata family, who were stationed at the end of Honmaru, brandished their katanas in both hands, shouted loudly and came out of the gate, fighting with the soldiers of the Takeda family.

In the narrow city road, the samurai of the two armies fought together, although the samurai of the Kohata family were ready to exchange their lives for their lives, but the Takeda army rushed here, all of them were Li Xiao, Shima Shengmeng, Shigang Kazuyu and other fierce generals, where can the other party be able to attack. At this time, Baoke was upright, and the Baoke Masatsuki brothers also brought their own samurai and rushed from the rear.

The Takeda army continued to swarm, and at last these Kohata samurai were outnumbered, and despite the most heroic resistance, they were overwhelmed by Takeda Katsuyori's forces in an absolute numerical superiority a few moments.

The corpses of more than 20 people lay in front of the main gate of Honmaru, and the soldiers of the Takeda family stepped forward and dragged the feet of these people with both hands, removed the corpses, cleared the open space in front of the door, and turned around to cut off the heads as their own combat exploits.

"Break the door."

Looking at the soldiers of the Takeda family with a piece of red armor and a Takeda Ling flag behind their backs, in front of the hedgehog gathering door, Li Xiao shouted loudly and gave the order to hit the door.

Immediately, six burly and shirtless soldiers of the Takeda family hugged a log and slammed into the crown wooden door where Honmaru had little defense.

In a few clicks, the fragile crown wooden door was smashed by the soldiers of the Takeda family, and the soldiers of the Takeda family collectively cheered and rushed into the Honmaru in one breath. After the Honmaru was breached, generally speaking, the battle of Cage City had reached this point, and the defenders could basically wash their necks and prepare to lead their necks.

Inside the open Honmaru Gate, on the stone staircase of more than 20 steps, the gate of the castle tower is closed. Li Xiao still asked someone to break open the gate with a wooden piece and entered the castle tower.

As soon as several soldiers of the Takeda clan who were eager to make meritorious contributions entered the castle tower, they were sniped by iron cannons, killing one on the spot and causing one to collapse to the side with injuries. But the soldiers of the Takeda family were anxious to make meritorious contributions, and more people rushed in.

After Li Xiao entered the castle tower with a spear, he saw that the last resistance was made by seven or eight old men armed with katanas and wearing official uniforms, most of whom should be the retainers of the Kohata family. Although these old men are old, the knife is spicy, but they are still old, and their legs and feet are not good, so they can't cause any trouble.

To Li Xiao's surprise, the people who were sniping with iron cannons just now were actually two eleven or twelve-year-old children who had not yet been served. Guessing that it should be Kohata Jingchun's nephew in the past, now they saw the tall Li Xiao approaching step by step, frightened and nervously into the muzzle of the iron cannon, refilling the projectile.

And above them, behind the stairs leading to the castle tower, there was a faint cry of a woman.

The two children were immediately captured by several Takeda soldiers, and capturing the enemy's family members alive was also a great achievement, more effective than killing them.

"The city has been breached, please prepare your lordship."

The last old retainer who was killed, with several bamboo guns poked at the same time on his back, lay on the stairwell, stretched his hands, and shouted to the stairs with his last strength.

It's not good, Kohata Keisun is going to commit suicide. Thinking of this, Li Xiao motioned to the soldiers of the Takeda family to speed up and follow.

Immediately, the bodies of these people were kicked aside, and Li Xiao and the ashigaru soldiers rushed to the second floor of the castle tower with guns. On the second floor, Li Xiao and everyone happened to see the scene of two maid-like people stabbing each other with blades, while the other maids had already committed suicide by stabbing their throats with knives.

Li Xiao ordered someone to take care of the maid who had not yet committed suicide, quickened his pace, stepped over the corpse of the maid, and rushed towards the residence of the city lord, together with Shimakatsu Takeshi, Shioka Kazuha, and several samurai.

When the door of the Ohiroma door was opened, it was an extremely tragic scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a woman in a gorgeous kimono, lying in a pool of blood, it seemed that she should have been hacked to death by Taidao. And Xiao Ha Jingchun, who was dressed as a city lord in white clothes and white pants, held the ribs in his abdomen with both hands, and his body was falling forward.

"It seems that he killed his wife first, and then committed suicide by seppuku." Dao Shengmeng said lightly, speaking in a flat tone, I don't know if he has been traveling south and north for many years, and he has long been accustomed to this.

"The city lord Kohata Keisuki has committed suicide, and after the battle has reached here, Guofeng City has finally fallen. My lord, you have to work hard to capture Guofeng City this time. Shigang Yiyu said to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but said with emotion: "What do you know, since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world." ”

Shima Shengmeng and Shioka Kazuyu are both rough people, and they don't have any Chinese skills, so naturally they don't know what Li Xiao means. Li Xiao smiled and said: "Quickly send someone to report to Lord Shenglai, saying that Guofeng City has been captured by us, and since Kohata Jingchun has committed suicide, there is no need to cut off his head and bury it well." ”

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound behind the paper of Kohata Jingchun's body. Li Xiao and all of them raised their knives and guns to be on guard, and Shi Gang Yiyu shouted loudly and said, "Give me out, otherwise I will be poked with a gun." ”

After a moment of silence, I saw the sliding door of the paper door gently open, revealing a pair of women hiding behind the door and wearing kimonos.
