The ashigaru of the Sasa family, on the first day of being recruited by the lord Sasa Narumasa, firmly remembered two military orders:

First, anyone who violates military orders, regardless of status, shall be given forty lashes and shall not be allowed to eat for a day;

Second, those who go to the battlefield and retreat from the battle will be killed.

After being instilled with these two military orders for nine days, after standing in a military posture for three days, turning for three days, and stepping for three days, all the advantages of this peasant and soldier contingent are in the four words "order and prohibit".

Once the commander gives the order, the ashigaru people carry it out meticulously.

Even if your companion is shot by the wise family's archers, even if you are stabbed by the wise family's ashigaru while climbing the city wall...... None of them flinched.

"Iron Cannon Reload!"

Wise Guangan raised his arm.

"Launch!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion of the iron cannon merged into thunder, and the ashigaru of the Sasa family were shot one after another and fell from the run. However, Akechi Mitsuyasu was surprised to find that the peasants and soldiers of the Sasa family did not react in fright.

In other words, this thunderous weapon did not intimidate the Ashigaru of the Sasa family.

…… This, could it be that Sasa Naruma also has a reserve of more than a hundred iron cannons?

Akechi Guangan didn't dare to imagine, so he could only order the iron cannon Ashigaru to shoot at the point - there was not much ammunition in Ashichi City.

Sasa Naimasa sat outside the city, and when he heard the roar of the iron cannon salvo, his frowning brow stretched out.

He had long known that in future battles, the appearance of iron cannons would become more and more frequent, so in the past nine days, he had added something to Ashigaru's training subjects, which was iron cannon volleys.

-- Of course, instead of training Ashigaru to use iron cannons, he had people hold iron cannons and fire volleys around the peasants.

Cheng Zheng gathered a total of 10 iron cannons and fired them next to the training phalanx of peasant soldiers every day. At first, some of the peasant soldiers were so frightened that they peed their pants...... But nine days later, they were no longer surprised by the sound of the iron cannon.

The most significant effect is that during this siege battle, many of the Sasa's Ashigaru heard the sound of the wise family's iron cannon shooting, and they subconsciously thought it was daily training...... They didn't feel the slightest fear, until they found out that the cannon's projectiles had pierced their bodies, and they began to scream in their bloody holes.

Ryotsu Inaba, who was sitting at the bottom of the right side of Saito Yoshiryu, frowned, he put down his wine glass, and said worriedly:

"I didn't expect the Wise Army to use iron cannons...... I heard that there are more than 100 iron cannons in the city, and the army of Lord Sazo has just been gathered, so is the loss of Lord Sazo too heavy? ”

"It's okay...... Today, the use of iron cannons shows that Akechi Mitsuhide has begun to use his true skills. A soft siege like yesterday's one is unlikely to have any effect. ”

Saito Yoshiryu smiled heartily, but Bu Quan, the clan next to Inaba Ryotsu, changed his face.

- Didn't Yoshilong mean that he was not good at attacking the city yesterday?

Thinking of this, the family Bu Quan came out of his seat and knelt down in front of Yilong:

"My lord! Please let your subordinates be the second in today's siege! ”

Seeing the solemn face of the family Buquan, Yilong just squinted his eyes and picked up the empty wine glass.

The little surname on the side hurriedly poured wine for him, and then Yilong handed the full wine glass forward:

"Today's siege, I have given full authority to Chengzheng...... If he really can't take the city today, he will ask the family to work hard tomorrow. Wine! ”

"Thank you, lord!"

The family Bu Quan was still a little unwilling in his heart, but since Yilong had said that Cheng Zheng would be fully responsible for today's siege, he couldn't say anything...... He has seen the martial arts of Sasa Seimasa, and he has long heard of the combat effectiveness of the Owari Sasa family.

After the family Buquan returned to his seat, he found that Cheng Zheng was leisurely pouring himself a drink, as if he was not worried that his reserve team would collapse.

After more than half an hour, Okumura Nagafuku finally waved his flag, and the samurai who oversaw the array shouted to retreat, and the ashigaru of the Sasa family retreated from the city wall like a tide.

"Keep a distance and keep up with the middle~!"

At the sound of an order, the ashigaru people lined up in a sparse phalanx.

"Turn back! Advance! ”

The remaining two hundred or so turned around in unison, and then began to return to their home camp with uniform steps.

More than 200 people are as light as one person, and many of them are injured.

Akechi Mitsuya ascended the castle tower and took a sip as he looked at the Sasajun who was gradually moving away.

"Ungrateful fellow!"

Wise Mitsuhide smiled, but her smile was no longer handsome and charming, no matter how she looked at it.

It's a wry smile.

I didn't expect that the soldiers trained by Cheng Zheng were no less than the soldiers in Wise City.

And the five hundred feet of the wise family were made by her spending several years to adjust Xiaowen...... If Cheng Zheng is given enough money and weapons, will he be able to train more elite soldiers than the Royal Guard in a very short time?

"Interesting...... It's really interesting...... I don't know where he came from......"

-- Akechi Mitsuhide has already begun to care about Seimasa's life experience.

She is 100% sure that Cheng Zheng, like her, does not belong to this world.

Seeing the Ashigaru of the Sasa family retreating, Mamoru Ando couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he rarely encountered such a tragic battle...... The person who made him more and more curious.

But...... And that's not all.

The reserve team led by Okumura Changfu is only the first formation of the Sasa family.

The terrible sound of the conch sounded again, and the second formation led by Murai Nagalai pressed towards the wise city.

If the offensive launched by Okumura Nagafuku is like a tide, drumming endlessly, then Murai Nagayori does not have so many rules, he is the same as Sasa Seimasa's second brother Sasa Sunsuke, a hot-blooded young man with developed limbs.

Chang Lai personally led a hundred-man team, and from time to time he launched assaults, and several times climbed to the top of the city, only to be driven down by the elite wise warriors.

Dealing with the attacks of Okumura Changfu and Murai Nagayori one after another made Akechi Guangan feel a little Yali Mountain.

It's just that Sazo Chengzheng is ungrateful...... Why is his ashigaru still fearless of death, and why does he still have subordinates who can lead soldiers?

Finally survived the attack of Murai Nagayori, and the sun had moved overhead.

At noon, the ladies of the wise family came out of the castle tower carrying boxes of rice balls and began to distribute food to the soldiers defending the castle.

The leading lady is Saito Michizo's widow - Komikata.

Speaking of which, after Saito Michizo broke through from Inabayama Castle, Michizo's wife, Komikata, was detained by Yoshiryu in Inabayama Castle, and she did not regain her freedom until Michizo was defeated and died.

Although Komifang is Michizo's wife, she is the stepfamily established by Michizo after the death of Yoshiro's mother, and Yoshimi doesn't have a good impression of her, and he can't talk about disgust, because considering the fact that she is Guidie's mother, he left Inabayama Castle by Komikata and returned to her maiden home, Wise Castle.

Komifang is the younger sister of Akechi Mitsuyasu and the sister-in-law of Akechi Mitsuhide.

- Even if you count her, she's also the mother-in-law of Chengzheng.

Everywhere Xiao Jianfang went, the soldiers of the wise family were like being beaten with chicken blood, and those who were tired like dogs were alive and well, and those who were injured were also in good spirits, sure enough, in this era, beauty is the last word.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who was standing on the castle tower, smiled with satisfaction when he saw his aunt's actions.

She couldn't help but wonder if her retainers and subjects knew that she was actually a wise princess, would they treat her as a pearl in their hands as they did her aunt.

Guangxiu shook her head, driving away this unrealistic fantasy, the sun shone down, her eyes hurt a little, and just when she stretched out her hand to block the sun, a face suddenly flashed in front of her.

She saw Sasa Seimasa's face.
