Tensho 6, end of August (1578) Ueno Castle (Hohoku Castle) (2)
Ueno Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is also looking forward to the main force of the Great Friendly Army to come to help. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, it is gratifying to note that the main force of the Great Friendly Army may still be in full swing to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth, and it seems that those retainers who believe in Buddhism do not seem to value it so much.
As a result, more than 6,000 troops of the Shimazu family surrounded Ueno Castle, and the huge gap in strength made several nearby Otomo strongholds not dare to send a single soldier to reinforcements.
The tail of August had just slipped by, and it was supposed to be the harvest season, and the army under the castle also launched two night attacks, which made the originally lax spirit of the defenders of Ueno Castle tighten again.
In the end, the method of attacking the city is the responsibility of the general general, like Mo Yi, who is responsible for guarding one aspect, really has no other ideas except to strengthen the fence and set up antlers near the fence.
Everyone is probably very leisurely, and the peasants and soldiers are chatting together about how much money they can get after taking Ueno Castle this time, or how much rations they can save after a month's siege of the city, and Yunyun will not starve at the beginning of spring next year, and the samurai with status are chatting in camps and even competing with each other.
Perhaps the siege has been going on for more than a month, although the nearby villages and towns have been burned and killed. However, the merchants and common people of other villages and towns sniffed out the business opportunity and soon came to sell them to the besieging army.
Soon, in less than two days, the city had become a market, but after seven days of siege, reality once again refreshed Mo Yi's three views.
It was true that there was no need for Mo Yi to consider returning to the battlefield to be stationed near the shrine, so the shrine maidens of the shrine came all the way with a large group of peasant women to follow the more than 1,000 people who transported the military rations.
In troubled times, rice is hard currency, and anyone can be attracted by a bite of food.
In this era, only soldiers will have food every day, and these women do have good calculations.
And this is indeed not a loss-making business, now these soldiers stationed only need to save a bite or two of food, and take a few handfuls of rice to exchange for a woman to accompany them for a night.
And according to Sui Ping, Mo Yi finally knew that those beautiful and younger women would have to spend a lot of rice to be willing to sleep with.
Looking at the young master's wisdom and martial arts, he can be 13 years old, and he has only become an old driver after a few cages, and Mo Yi also lamented the precociousness of people in this era.
"You look like I'm the only one who spends money." The topic finally turned to Mo Yi's head, this bastard was a little confused as soon as he drank, put his arm around Mo Yi's waist, seemed to look at Mo Yi's flat chest with some dissatisfaction, and then pinched Mo Yi's chin and picked her mask away with his fingers.
Mo Yi really wanted to chop this bear child to death, and looked at his burning gaze as he looked at Gamo Ancheng, who had already begun to pretend to be asleep.
The snoring sound is too fake, in the end, this guy is really pretending to be asleep, Mo Yi is also a little nostalgic for the seemingly shrewd but still very righteous Yijiyuan years.
To say that the war in the age of cold weapons will indeed have a lot of interesting things,
It's like tonight's night, it's beautiful, it's hazy,
But it is also extremely suitable for killing!
The terrible screams kicked off the night chaos,
Enemy attack!
Kamyu Anjo, who had been beside Mo Yi with a simple face and seemed to be asleep, pulled out the sword with his backhand and climbed the earthen wall with one hand.
In the end, the fire on the oar not far away was lit, and the light of the fire was that the soldiers in the city were rushing towards the pigs outside the city!
The attack was the reserve of Shimazu's uncle Tadashigen, whose army was almost four or five hundred people, and after being attacked in a hurry, he collapsed directly!
In less than a cup of tea, the defeated soldiers except for the cross of the pill on their backs and the ribs,
Spears, carcass, and banner objects were all abandoned in the camp, and the peasant soldiers were even more embarrassed with only pants.
The fire, the death, the mutilation, and the chill of the night all informed the enemy that the location of the second assault was the position of Shimazu Suihei's army.
It is also a loss that Moyi's army is in the village with the mountain, and the other reserves have obvious vigilance.
Therefore, the first to bear the brunt of the vigil was the standing ten, they were fully armed, and the stabbing of the spears did indeed make the pursuing outlaws panic for a while. However, the samurai on the opposite side quickly slashed two standing guards to death with their blood and bravely entered the camp.
The soldiers who woke up on the ground were still in a panic and drew their swords, and the veterans were familiar with the chaotic battle that they directly pulled out their ribs to meet the enemy.
However, at this moment, the trench outside the earthen wall of the Shimazu Suihei army soon came from a miserable shout.
Shimazu Suihei, a 13-year-old young master, quickly understood that the enemy's key assault was his own position, and in addition to the pursuers who were driven away from the defeated troops of Shimazu Tadashigen's army, the outlaw forces of Ueno Castle in the castle were also preparing to assault their defenses from the front.
Now there are no five fingers in the dark night, and under the dark light, they are all short knives together.
It's a real chaos! Mo Yi could only hear the screeching of the intersecting sounds of knives.
She squatted under the tent with her head in her hands, protected by Gamo Anjo, who wielded a large sword.
After all, now it is time for the young master to reorganize the army, and he can only send the skilled Ancheng to protect Mo Yi in the hand-to-hand battle, and he, as the main general, must fight on the front line to prevent the army from being defeated.
The beacon fire on the turret on Shimazu's main camp was quickly ignited, and it was also informed that Suihei's army was attacked.
The shouts of killing and screaming were endless, and the death battle with no way out on both sides was even more ferocious.
However, there were many casualties and there were still unprotected peasant soldiers, Mo Yi saw with his own eyes that Gamo Anjo had the protection of large armor, and for those who wore light armor, the horizontal slash of the knife did not dodge, and the knife was rounded, and there was a burst of fishy smell and blood mist on the opposite side.
However, the layers of city defenses arranged by Mo Yi before also played a great role, and the attack on the army of Suihei from the front was also because of the obstruction of the night, and many fell into the trench or were pierced by the hedge, so that they did not catch up with the best opportunity to flank the army of Shimazu Suipei.
By the time they arrived, they had no choice but to join the already chaotic white-knuckle fight, and the Shimazu Suihei Honjin could now be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it was definitely not embattled.
However, this is also a good opportunity to go down to the city, and now that the enemy's breakthrough army is all held back by Shimazu Suihei's army, how could the general Shimazu Iehisa give up such a good opportunity with absolute strength.
His headquarters quickly gave the order to the other reserves to storm Ueno Castle, and the beacons on the turrets were lit one after another, like stars in the night, more like the horn of death.
They sounded the magic conch of the attack, and the soldiers, who had been preparing for more than a month, shouted and began to attack the city.
Now the defenders in the city want to break through, and the defenders outside the city want to go down the city, but in the end, the Suiping army has not collapsed, and it is completely blocking the escape path of the breakthrough army.
Of course, Mo Yi knew that the young master would be martyred if he died, and now that Gamo Ancheng is leisurely here, it is better to go to the front line to fight, she took down the fox face and had a plan: "If I die, you will be punished at most, if the young master dies, who of us will still have a way to live?" ”
You must know that in this era, it is most normal for a subordinate to be ordered to be ordered to seppuku because of the death of the lord in battle, and this kind of seppuku will still be spurned as a betrayer or a coward.
Mo Yi is indeed holding the values of bushido today to blackmail this person who obeys the young master's orders to protect himself, Gamo Anjo really lived up to expectations, and after weighing the benefits, he shouted and abandoned Mo Yi and killed into the crowd where the white blades intersected.
