Chapter Ninety-Three: Cage Pass!
On October 1, Ji Qin stood on top of the wall of the unbroken pass, condescendingly looking at the Saito army formation three miles away, rows of cloud ladders lined up in front of the military formation, looking at Saito Yoshilong who was in the main formation of the Chinese army, Ji Qin's face was as calm as water.

Kawajiro and they haven't bought back the gunpowder, with the amount of gunpowder that is not broken now, it is only enough for one person and one cannon for a hundred iron cannon ninja troops, which is not enough for defending the city, but it is okay to hit the morale of the Saito army.
Keijiro pointed to the ladder in front of the Saito Army's military formation, but suddenly smiled: "Teacher, look at those fools of the Saito Army, the ladders prepared are all just able to reach the place where the wall can be closed halfway, doesn't Saito Yoshiryu know how high it is not to break the barrier?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the soldiers of the Saito Army began to move, and the rows of ladders were connected by two and two, combined together, and the current length was able to reach the wall battlements that could not be broken, but did the Saito Army have soldiers who attacked the fortifications, Ji Qin was not sure. And from the point of view of never breaking the barrier, it seems that some kind of meeting is being held in the main camp of the Saito army.
If you don't break through the main camp of the Saito army three miles away, Saito Yoshilong is sitting on the pony with the sword in his hand, and the retainers on both sides of him are sitting precariously, waiting for Saito Yoshiryu to speak.
"Everyone, if you don't break the pass, it's in front of you, this is about my Mino West Portal, if you can't take it back, then this family will be completely exposed to the blade of Asai Xiaoer, you can have a good strategy, you can recapture it as soon as possible."
Although Saito Yoshilong was asking the retainers present, but in fact, his eyes were always looking at the long-handled sub-Langfang, which was originally not broken, and it was obvious that this person who was most familiar with the non-breaking pass offered a strategy, but due to the loss of the non-breaking pass, the Saito family attendant Long-handled sub-Langfang kept his head down, not daring to look at the lord Saito Yoshiryu, but he didn't see the opportunity that Saito Yoshilong wanted to give him to make up for his mistakes.
The general Hara Yorifang, who followed Saito Yoshiryu from Inabayama Castle, pondered for a while, and took the lead in saying: "My lord, the Qimu army has come from afar, and the supply of grain and grass must be poor. ”
Everyone present nodded, from the current point of view, this is the safest way, far easier than attacking without breaking the pass, and the whole is rectangular without breaking the pass, although the north and south sides are connected with the mountain, but rather than the mountain, it is better to say that it is two small dirt slopes, the highest point is only eight meters, and the wall is not high, and the wall on the north and south sides is also very short, but eight meters, compared to the wall of nearly eighty meters on the east and west sides, it is indeed not worth mentioning. (The above description of not breaking the level is purely the author's blindness)
As for the secret passage used by Inaba Yitetsu and others to escape without breaking the pass, no one mentioned it, as a bunch of samurai who can lead troops to fight, some basic things are still understood, even if the secret passage is not sealed by Qimu Jiqin, but who dares to lead troops in, it is no different from looking for death.
Yilong saw that Yuan Laifang's proposal had been approved by the retainers, so he also nodded, but then said: "The ladder has been set up, if you don't fight, it's really uncomfortable, our army is three times the enemy, and we don't even dare to approach the wall and don't want to be ridiculed." You are all the fierce generals of my Saito family, who wants to climb the wall and show your martial arts! ”
After Yilong finished speaking, he slowly glanced at everyone, all the retainers who were looked at by him lowered their heads one after another, most of the people present were human spirits, and the general of the vanguard army, Nagai Michitoshi, died in the hands of the Qimu army, it was still a field battle, and the victory and defeat were mixed. But now it's a siege, and it still can't break through this kind of heroic pass, unless the brain shows off, otherwise no one is willing to consciously accept the task of nine deaths and a lifetime.
Yilong glanced around, the retainers all lowered their heads, Yilong's heart was angry all of a sudden, looking at the long-handled sub-Langfang that had been bowing his head and not daring to look at his own long-handled sub-Langfang, and shouted: "Order the long-handled sub-Langfang to lead a thousand troops and attack the city immediately!" ”
"Brush!"
Everyone's eyes looked at the long-handled second Langfang, this general who was only thirty-five years old, now his face was also pale, looking at Saito Yoshiryu's unquestionable eyes in disbelief, his heart was bitter, and he opened his mouth for a long time before saying: "Yes!" ”
The long-handled second Langfang got up, took a staggering step, slowly picked up the curtain, and looked at the pass, the long-handled second Langfang gritted his teeth, jumped on the war horse led by the small surname, and rushed to the front army.
"My lord! The Saito army moved, looking at this situation, it seems that they want to rely on a thousand people to capture the garrison of our army, and it is really beyond their strength. ”
Yoyoshi was worried about his feet, lying on the wall battlement, looking at the thousand Saito troops who were carrying the ladder in the distance, and were rushing towards the pass, and said disdainfully. Ji Qin looked at the Saito Army samurai who was riding a war horse and constantly scolding the soldiers, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his body exuded an aura of death, since this is the case, then I will give you a ride.
"Sugitani's Zenjubo! Seeing that the samurai on horseback didn't, shoot him! ”
"Yes!"
Sugitani Zenjubo stood by the battlement, and the iron cannon in his hand was aimed at the chest of the long-handled Jirangbo who was constantly scolding the soldiers, with today's medical methods, as long as the iron cannon hit the upper body of the enemy, then even if the person did not die at that time, he would not live long.
Soon, the long-handled second Langfang led a thousand soldiers to the city of Buboguan, a roar, five hundred Saito soldiers lightly carried the ladder and rushed towards the Bubakou, the remaining five hundred bashi lightly held bows and arrows, and kept shooting at the wall, although the head was not good, but for a while it did suppress the counterattack on the wall.
A ladder was built on top of the city, and the barbs on the ladders were hooked to the battlements, making it less easy for the defenders to knock them down.
"Zenjufang, shoot him!"
"Bang!"
There was a thunderous explosion, and the long-handled second Langfang, like the previous Nagai Michitori, covered his chest with both hands and fell under the horse, and the five hundred Saito troops beside him all stopped attacking, looking at the commander's corpse in a daze, forgetting to suppress the firepower on the pass.
Seeing this, Ji Qin shouted: "The whole army shoots, aim at the five hundred foot light under the city, and don't care about the rest!" ”
The soldiers of the Saito Army, who were constantly climbing the ladder, faced a fatal blow in an instant, and those who rushed to the top became live targets that could not move, and one by one they screamed and fell to the bottom of the city, and those behind climbed down, one by one, wishing that their parents would give themselves more hands and legs, so that they could climb faster.
And the ashigaru who were still waiting to climb the ladder in place, but they fled in a hurry, and the escape of the ladder troops also drove the escape of the bow and arrow troops who were still stunned, starting from the siege of Langfang in the long handle, to the end of the escape of a thousand Saito soldiers who left dozens of corpses behind, and the entire siege ended in less than a stick of incense, and Saito Yoshiryu, who was watching from a distance, was so angry that he brandished his sword and cut down three small trees in front of the formation, but he was helpless.
After venting, Yilong immediately ordered that after collecting the defeated army, it was divided into four parts, and the unbroken pass was surrounded on all sides, and it was bound to completely trap the 1,000-flag wooden army and starve to death and die of thirst in the unbroken pass.
