Sakuma Morishige, accompanied by several low-ranking samurai, ascended to the low top of Narumi Castle. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the flags of the two or two introductions and the three-leaf sunflower were like the sea, and he had already made up his mind to die.

Sakuma, who was standing at the head of the castle, took out the sword at his waist, held it high, and shouted, "We and all of you, thanks to the grace of the Oda family, can survive in troubled times. Today, the Imagawa family is unkind, and unrighteous soldiers invade my Owari! I'm waiting for the Owari samurai, and we must not let those Mikawa people look down on us! Today is the day to serve the Lord! I, Sakuma, are determined to live and die with Narumi Castle! Would you like to accompany you? ”

"I wish to live and die with Narumi!" Driven by some low-level samurai and standing guards, the morale of the soldiers raised a little, and looking at the death-defying eyes of the people around them, the hands of the improvised peasant soldiers holding rudimentary weapons trembled so much.

Seeing that his encouragement had some effect, Sakuma Sheng hurriedly encouraged: "We need to hold Narumi Castle tightly, and wait until the lord's reinforcements arrive to repel the Imagawa army, and then I, Sakuma Nobumori, will not be stingy with rewards!" There must be a reward for everyone! ”

"Hey! Roar! Roar! A roar of excitement erupted from the top of the castle, and the morale of the Oda army was boosted!

"Do you hear that? The morale of the Oda army is not weak......" Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was riding on a horse, heard the roar coming from the head of Narumi Castle, and said with a smile to Honda Tadakatsu beside him.

Honda Tadakatsu disagreed, saying, "In my opinion, it's just a struggle before dying." Just now the ninja came to report, there were only 500 people in Narumi City, and most of them were still peasant soldiers with no combat effectiveness. No matter how high the morale is, as long as they rush up next, they will only have to be slaughtered. ”

As the first warrior of the Matsudaira family, it is understandable that Honda Tadakatsu looked down on the peasant defenders of Narumi Castle. I'm afraid there aren't many samurai who can be looked at by Honda Tadakatsu.

Honda Tadashi Katsukatsu saw that Matsudaira Motoyasu just smiled and did not speak. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Lord, please let me lead the standing reserve to attack Minghai City, and with the guarantee of my life, as long as I charge once, I can take Minghai City!" ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhongsheng doesn't have to be so anxious, standing is the foundation of my Matsudaira family, there is no need to waste it on the small city of Narumi." By the time we arrived at Narumi Castle, it must have been Sakai-sama leading the people of the country to take Narumi Castle. ”

Honda Tadashi Katsu saw that his lord had no intention of changing his mind, so he had to give up his plan to be a pioneer and follow Matsudaira Motoyasu to slowly move towards Narumi Castle.

Under Narumi Castle, Tadaji Sakai, Tadashi Okubo, and Yasumasa Kamigen had already set up their positions with the people of the country gathered from Nishimikawa. Since the news of the Imagawa family's Suruga and Yuanjiang sending more than 20,000 troops to Mikawa had already reached Mikawa, the wealthy families of Nishimikawa had already begun to prepare to follow Imagawa Yoshimoto to Owari to fight the autumn breeze of the Oda family. In such a war of aggression without any risk, these wealthy clans are very willing to participate. Therefore, Sakai Tadaji and others did not have much persuasion, and pulled out a team of more than 1,200 people from Nishimikawa. Although there were local warriors in these ranks, the inferior standing guards of the wealthy families, and even some peasant soldiers who were barefoot and carrying wooden sticks like beggars. But even if these people are mixed together, it is enough for Sakuma in Narumi Castle to be terrified. After all, the quality of Sakuma's subordinates is not very high.

Sakai Tadaji rode on a low horse, looked up at Sakuma on the castle, and shouted: "In Shimookazaki Castle, the old Sakai Tadaji of the Matsudaira family, I have specially sealed the order of the main hall Yoshimoto Gong to take Narumi Castle." I advise Your Excellency to leave the city and surrender as soon as possible, so as not to hurt your life! ”

Sakuma Morishige was furious when he heard this, and immediately shouted to Sakai Tadaji under the castle: "I, Sakuma Morishige, have been favored by the Oda family, and if I surrender or something, I ask Sakai-sama to mention it again, if you want to take this Narumi Castle, please attack the castle quickly!" ”

Sakai Tadaji saw that Sakuma Shengshige revealed that he planned to fight to the end as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't say more, returned to his own camp, waved down the military equipment in his hand, and shouted loudly: "In Narumi Castle ahead, there are only a few hundred people, and the city walls are low, so we should rush into the city and take down Narumi Castle!" ”

"Hey! Hey! Roar! The people of the country let out excited screams, waved the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards Narumi Castle like a tide driven by the samurai of each family.

"The bow team stepped forward! Shoot! Seeing that the people of the country had rushed up, Shenyuan Yasumasa hurriedly commanded dozens of archers from various wealthy clans to shoot arrows at the city and suppress the defenders on the city.

With the help of these waves of arrows, the Matsudaira family's national army successfully rushed to the city of Narumi Castle. The ladders and wooden ladders that were ready for realization were erected one after another. The defenders at the head of the city were pressed by the sudden rain of arrows and did not dare to show their heads, although the lethality of the wooden pill bow was not great, but there were also a few unlucky eggs who were shot in the face and forgot about the arrows.

However, there were only a dozen archers in Sakuma's heavy team, and after a round of shooting on both sides, they never dared to show their heads again.

As more ladders were erected on the head of Narumi Castle, there were already many brave samurai who rushed to the head of Narumi Castle with the stones and pieces of wood dropped by the Oda army.

One of the young samurai, armed with a long Nota sword, kept waving it, forcing back the Oda army that was trying to rush up, and holding a castle. When he saw several more samurai rushing to the top of the castle through the gap he had opened, he shouted loudly, "Togamo is here to help the Kanbei, who dares to fight me!" ”

"Owari Moribe and Rokusengami!" One of the junior samurai under Sakuma Morishige who was in charge of guarding this section of the wall saw that Ashisuke Kanbei was very brave, and his standing and peasant soldiers did not dare to step forward, so he rushed forward with a shout and a sword. As soon as he took a look, he gave Ashisuke Kanbei a slap in the face of Tang Zhu!

While the two were fighting, more and more people rushed to the head of Narumi Castle, driven by the samurai in the ground. I have to say that the local samurai of Mikawa Province are indeed extraordinary, and even the lower-level samurai under Sakuma Nobumori are most likely not opponents. In a short time, the walls of Narumi Castle were already captured. Sakuma Morishige took the remnants of 100 of his subordinates and fled to the Imperial Palace to do the last of the trapped beasts.

Looking at the raging flames and the billowing black smoke in Narumi Castle not far away, Matsudaira Motoyasu smiled and said to Honda Tadakatsu beside him: "Lord Sakai is really fast, it is rumored that the whole army is speeding up, let's go to Narumi Castle for lunch!" ”
