"Everyone, the survival of the Shiina family is tonight!"

At the last moment, the governor of the family, Yasuyin Shiina, also pulled out his sword and threw himself into battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, whether the Honmaru of Matsukura Castle can be kept, and whether the family name of the Shiina family can survive, is still a matter of confusion.

Since yesterday, when the Shenbao army launched the siege of the city, it has been two days and one night.

Tonight is the second night, and it's coming to an end.

Almost 24 hours of continuous combat made the Shiina family extremely tired, not only the soldiers fighting on the front line never got a proper rest, but even Shiina Yasuin's wife and daughter spent sleepless nights in panic.

The pre-dawn hour is said to be the darkest time.

Even the starlight was swallowed up in the night, and the two armies fought slowly and vigilantly in the darkness, relying only on the faint light reflected by their weapons.

Since it is not clear to see, the siege should be stopped, and in the eyes of many people, this is all taken for granted.

In the eyes of the Divine Protector, this is also a matter of course.

On weekdays, he would have removed all the soldiers to avoid unnecessary casualties.

But tonight and this time is an extraordinary time, and there is no room for delay.

"Pass the order, light a torch and attack!"

The chief gave an order with a cold face, which immediately shocked the retainers.

"My lord! Even if our army lights torches, it will be difficult to illuminate the other side, but our soldiers will become live targets because of this! ”

"It's okay...... It's better than not seeing anything, not to mention, Shiina has not much bow and arrow left. ”

"My lord! The matter ...... I hope to think about it, such a method of warfare, even if our army captures this castle tower, it will suffer heavy casualties, what is the point of doing this? ”

"Then it makes sense to just go back and wait? Pass my order: light the torch and attack! Those who dare to obstruct it, cut it! ”

The retainers wanted to fight again, but Kojima Zhizhen gave them a few glances one after another, and they understood that this decision could not be stopped, so they had to leave in a huff.

Of course, Kojima understands the reason why Nagashi wants to take Matsukura Castle regardless of the cost.

If the truce at this time gives the Shiina family some time to breathe, they will no longer have a chance to capture Matsukura Castle.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

After the attack on Toyama Castle and the destruction of the rear, the generals and soldiers of the Jimbo Army were all in their hearts, and if they did not take advantage of the burning of the castle to take the castle defense in one fell swoop, all their previous efforts and sacrifices would be in vain.

If they fail to capture the castle tower before dawn, it will probably mean that they will never be able to destroy the Shiina clan and never realize their great wish to unify the castle tower.

As expected, after the Jimbo Army lit the torches, the soldiers who were closer to the torches were quickly shot and killed by the Shiina Army.

However, the Divine Protection Army, which is not known for its bravery and good fighting, did not flinch at this moment.

There is the temptation of heavy rewards for those who ascend first, and there is also the severe punishment of those who retreat, and the soldiers have taken turns to attack the city under the leadership of their lords and generals.

There were people falling from the city, and people were stabbed with weapons and fell on their backs.

Although the offensive and defensive battle around the castle tower of Matsukura Castle is still not over, it does have an eyebrow.

Yasuyin Shiina's arm was sore, and he seemed to be unable to lift the knife, but he didn't need to raise the knife anymore, just because his saber was broken when Fang Cai slashed hard.

The sky was no longer as black as ink, and the leaves in the air slowly began to glow.

In the eastern sky, a glimmer of fish belly white is faintly revealed.

It's almost dawn.

Shiina Yasuyin's heart also sank to the bottom.

If this castle tower can't be kept, their Shiina family will no longer exist.

Kang Yin trembled into the back room, sat down in front of the fresh corpse, tears already welling up in his eyes:

"Jing Zhi...... This city is about to be lost......"

Tears fell down the young, handsome face.

Shiina Keinao was just lying on the tatami mat, and although his face was pale, he had an extremely peaceful sleeping appearance, as if he was asleep.

If it weren't for the two feather arrows stuck in the heart in his chest, who would have thought that this young master, who had high hopes for the governor and Sasa, would die in battle?

"Jing Zhi...... It's not good for me to be a father who can't stand you......"

Yasuyin Shiina repented from the bottom of his heart and told the adopted son who had died about the remorse in his heart.

Since Shiina Keizhi came to Yuezhong a few years ago, he, the nominal father, has only maintained a nominal father-son relationship with Keizhi. Whether it is daily life or the handling of trivial matters, Yasuyin Shiina always has many reasons to refuse to meet with Jingzhi.

A few years ago, he was just a young man who had not yet been served, and he came to Yuezhong alone, but he was treated so coldly.

Just thinking about this made Shiina Yasuyin feel very guilty.

However, it was only the adopted son Shiina Jingnao, who played an unparalleled role in guarding Matsukura Castle for half a month, and instead of rebelling because of the cold reception in the past, he served him like a father, and defended the castle more diligently than his own son, or even more than himself.

If it weren't for his sudden death......

Yasuyin Shiina shook his head and tilted his head, tears silently sliding down his dirty cheeks.

"You bastard...... How can you die before me......"

At this moment, a samurai, embarrassed and bloodied, ran in and shouted:

"My lord! Reinforcements are coming! ”

"Don't make a noise!"

Yasuyin Shiina didn't react immediately, and it wasn't until the retainer shouted twice that Keinao Shiina stumbled up and ran outside.

As soon as he went out, the golden sunlight immediately shone on him, and Yasuyin Shiina was pierced by the sudden light, and his eyes ached, and he was briefly blind for a second.

But in the next moment, the cheers of the soldiers resounded throughout the castle tower, and Yasuin Shiina was finally able to see a golden sun slowly leaping out of the eastern horizon.

And under this golden sun, nearly a thousand horseback teams galloped in the glow.

"It's really reinforcements!"

At this moment, Shiina Yasuyin was like seeing a god's mansion.

And among the nine hundred horsemen who came at a gallop, they spread out left and right on the field, like a roc spreading its wings.

The knight at the head carried a huge wolf head and horse seal, marking the identity of the main general to the world.

"Nani? Sasa Narumasa and his Rose Knight? ”

The chief of the divine protection was so shocked that he fell from his horse.

He originally thought that the arrogant and domineering "Bow Zhuangzhong" these days was the long-established Rose Knight United under the command of Sazuo Chengzheng, but what he saw today was that the other party had a scale of nearly 1,000 people, which completely broke his previous luck.

The Gong Zhuang people can only be the Gong Zhuang people, and the Rose Knights who are rushing from the northeast at this time will definitely be more elite and stronger than the Gong Zhuang people!

He looked around and saw that the soldiers of the Jimbo soldiers stationed on the low hills of Mt. Matsukura were all tired.

The chief of the divine protection understands that he lost the bet this time!

Many times, people say that even though they are defeated, they say that they are coming back or that failure is a successful stepmother, but it is only at this moment that the god protector understands the state of mind like ashes.

It feels like the whole person is hollowed out......

However, even if he is defeated, he does not want to be humiliated again!

Even if he dies in battle, he will protect his position as a god, and he must maintain his dignity as a Daimyo of Yuezhong and the governor of the Shenbao clan!

"Everyone! Charge with me! ”

The chief of the god re-mounted his horse, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the cavalry that had come in the light of the sun at the bottom of the mountain.

Behind him, the most elite Hachimoto samurai followed first, followed by Kojima and his subordinates, and as for those wealthy clans, they all chose to remain silent.

None of them were blind, and of course they could see that the "Lone Wolf of the North Continent" led the army to come, even if they were less than a thousand horsemen, they must have made preparations for victory.

The Shenbao Chief's position and the Shenbao family unify the hegemony of Yuezhong, so let them go with the wind.

After a while, the chief of the god led more than a hundred of his cronies to the samurai of the banner and crashed into the torrent of the Rose Knights.

These more than 100 people disappeared without a trace as if they had thrown a small pebble on the surface of the water, causing some ripples and slightly.

The head of the priest himself was also held high with a spear.

Under this scene, the various units of the Jinbo Army, which spread out on Mt. Matsukura, immediately threw down all their weapons and armor and fled in all directions.

After the successive attacks on Matsukura Castle, they lost their fighting spirit early, and after it became clear that the Jimbo army could not achieve another victory, they immediately stopped being loyal to the Jimbo chief and made a move to watch from the sidelines.

And at this moment, these wealthy people are scattered, and there is no one to restrain them, and the wolves are rushing.

The attack and defense of Matsukura Castle for more than half a month finally ended in the defeat of the Jinbao Army.

Half an hour later, Sasa Narumasa climbed Mount Matsukura and entered the castle tower of Matsukura Castle with great interest.

He was full of interest, but he didn't expect to get a disappointing news right away.

Keinao Shiina is dead!

In an assessment room on the first floor of the castle tower, Yasuyin, the governor of the Shiina clan, hugged Jingzhi's body and said with tears in his eyes:

"Jing Zhi ...... I must convey to Sasa Uchizosuke-sama, and he said, "I am forever waiting for the day when I will return to my home." ”

In an instant, Sazo Chengzheng stumbled, as if he had been hit hard. (To be continued.) )
