I don't know how many people are dead to send the soil to the city, this method of piling up the soil to climb the city is very inefficient, the people are afraid of the defenders at the head of the city, and they don't dare to continue to push the cart to fill the soil, several soldiers immediately show their knives and kill on the spot, and kill more than a dozen people in a row before they are driven back to the front of the battle.

Perhaps it was to see the efficiency of filling the land, this time a new method was added, so that a small number of people carried simple logs as a simple battering ram to hit the city to continue the siege, the cold-blooded and brutal military eyes Fu carried a sword to supervise, behind a team of bows and arrows in place at any time waiting for orders, the shouts of the people spread far to Hachimangahara, they stumbled and carried the simple wooden ladder reliable,

How many peasants rushed to the city and were quickly shot down by the defenders of the city, and immediately suffered a salvo of arrows from behind the bow and arrows, and the people retreated and retreated under the city wailing and holding the flatbed car to continue to pile up the soil, and the people died and kept the number of people who hit the city gate unchanged, and the attack organized by the Takeda army greatly exceeded Murakami Yoshikiyo's expectations, and the passively defended Haijin City fell into a storm.

Takeda Shinfan stared at the people who died one by one, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Sanada Danzheng is really unkind to this method, the people are the most valuable wealth of our samurai, and the victory piled up with the lives of the people is really not desirable!" ”

"The palace of the stables is kind-hearted! However, the lord's request is to capture Haijin City as quickly as possible, if you don't do this, I don't know how long it will take to break the city, and if you can't capture Haijin City, I can't afford to take the lord's great cause. Sanada Yutaka smiled disapprerovingly, his heart Takeda Nobushi was still a little pedantic, and Takeda Harunobu's general order was so tight. How to lay down Haijin City without some special means. The days of repeated failures in the past few years and his involvement have made him fed up. No matter what method is used, the order given by Harunobu Takeda must be completed.

Takeda Shinshihiro is the most benign samurai in the Takeda family, this benevolent general is deeply loved by the Takeda family, of course, he is also suspicious of Takeda Harunobu, several boys of his family have always thought Takeda Shinshihiro is the perfect samurai in his mind, if it weren't for Sanada Yutaka made up his mind not to stand in line, he would definitely be willing to make friends with this gentle and humble samurai.

Sanada Yutaka's tactics really played an excellent role, and in Japan's Warring States Period, except for cults such as the Ichijo sect, which used the means of using the people to attack the city, no one in Japan dared to risk the world's condemnation. This time, it was done urgently by Sanada Yutaka with a general's order, and Takeda Shinshihiro couldn't say anything even if he was dissatisfied.

The siege battle gradually entered the climax, the main force of the Takeda army focused on the big hand gate, and gathered more than 2,000 elites in front of this small city gate, Takeda Nobuyhiro did not hesitate to personally press the formation behind the battle to boost the morale of the soldiers, and the defender of the city, Murakami Yoshikiyo, was not ambiguous, and took out all the utensils that sounded in the city, and the ping-pong knock knocked to boost the spirit of the son.

Hundreds of people in the city circled around the wooden pillars, and it was too slow to hammer the wooden stakes on their shoulders, but the Takeda family lacked skilled craftsmen. I had to urgently use the flatbed truck sold by the Kira family to make a slight modification, and the three cars were put together, with several wooden stakes standing on them, and hemp rope was hung to make a siege vehicle.

More than 2,000 tiger wolves rushed to the city with a howl. The people braved the rain of arrows to hold the wooden ladder for the samurai to cover, a group of ashigaru unorderly gathered under the city just climbed up two or three people, was pushed down by the defenders of the city wooden ladder, the head is a pot of boiling water poured down, the hot wooden ladder under a dozen people rolled around, the people were burned to see that it was not good, the ashigaru people wore armor and could not be removed, the boiling water poured into the clothes and the pain in the heart howled on the spot, more than a dozen people were killed on the spot by this hot.

From the attack to the Shenshi, Bai Bai gave away hundreds of lives and still couldn't break through the city, Sanada Yutaka Iron ordered with a blushing face: "The gold diggers can't stop, we must dig another way as soon as possible, this must not dig into the feet of the enemy's main force, cause trouble and mislead the great cause of the lord, and everyone will protect you!" ”

Kaizu Castle fell into turmoil, letters for help were sent to Asahiyama Castle one after another, Kira family did not expect Takeda Harunobu to be so tough, Kira Yoshitoki was furious and immediately launched a new round of Hachimangahara landing battle, trying to pull the main force of the Takeda Army back, on the other side, the defenders of Nizu Castle still did not hold back, with 500 Shinano Kuniren Army tried to support Kaizu Castle, but before they could get to the bottom of the city, they were strangled and beaten by the Takeda Army and fled back

The landing on Hachimanwara failed again, and the soldiers in Kaizu Castle went through a painful process from hope to disappointment to despair, when the land of Shinano once again fell a light rain, and the bleak autumn wind brought a shocking news, Saito Asanobu himself led 3,000 cavalry to break into Saku Prefecture, and the people of Saku County hastily gathered 3,000 soldiers to resist but were broken by the Saito army in a battle, and when the main general Mochizuki was in full bloom, Youzu Masanao killed many people in battle, and Kita Shinano fell into the passivity of space.

The Takeda army was in a dilemma, the arrival of Saito Asanobu disrupted all deployments and made all plans a thing of the past, and the defenders in Ohorikan, Hirota, and Yokota Castle appeared at different levels, most of them were from the nationalist lords in central and southern Shinano, and their own nest was not guaranteed, and there was still a heart to fight, and at the moment when the situation was in crisis, the Kira family made another move.

On the evening of September 29, the lights in Asahiyama Castle were bright, and Kira Yoshitoki impassionedly announced the order to attack Hachimanwara at night, and hundreds of samurai listened to the order without a trace of objection.

A few days after the Kira ninja recruitment was issued, the village that had been hidden in the Togakushi Mountains for more than 300 years finally opened its doors to the world, and more than 1,000 people of Togakushi Village, young and old, migrated to live in Asahiyama Castle Town, and the mountain ninjas who were used to being wild in the mountains experienced the convenience of life in the castle town for the first time, and many ninjas had never seen the plains of the Ichima Hirakawa River in their lives, and this time they also saw the outside world as they wished.

The Togakushi ninja is not as elite as the Iga ninja, and the Koga ninja is not as good as the Koga ninja in terms of unity and various unbelievable specialties, but if you talk about the level of mountain and forest warfare, I am afraid that Koga and Iga who came out of the mountains are not comparable to them, and Shinano Country has no other characteristic that there are many mountains, and the peaks of more than 2,000 meters are one after another. Many valleys are so inaccessible that there is no trace of people all year round. The ninjas who walk in the mountains and forests all year round are all good at mountain warfare.

As an indigenous mountain folk of Shinano. Whether it is the image of the dress or the accent and the voice is impeccable, there is no need to deliberately imitate the image of an old peasant who is rustic, the Takeda family has always guarded against Kira ninja with a non-local accent, but ignores the existence of a ninja army in Shinano that has been silent for three hundred years.

Thousands of troops stationed in a castle without anyone to serve this day is not a good day, in the Middle Ages Japan did not promote the profession of heavy soldiers, the samurai went out to fight together and had a small surname to serve, the low-level samurai only relied on the people to serve, as early as a month ago in the name of transporting firewood and fresh fish, they successfully mixed into the three annoying fortified castles on Hachimangahara.

It didn't take long for the Tokumi ninjas to draw up one map after another of the city's structure. Figuring out the law of their rotation system and even the change of codes, Kira Yoshitoki's eyes burned with a fire, and he finally survived three months of hard work to this moment, and everything was ready only to the east wind.

At the end of the month and the beginning of the month is the time when the moon is at its darkest, and this day is called the Evil Day, and on this cold night when you can't see your fingers, the samurai of the Takeda family, who has been holding out for three months, huddles in the arrows and naps in shelter from the wind, and no one notices the slightest movement of the Baba Se, and the 13,000 soldiers with the title of horses wrapped their hooves quietly touch the woods not far outside the castle of Ohorikan.

Wait patiently for half an hour. The torches in several arrow turrets near Ohorikan were extinguished one after another, and after a while, they lit up again, this time a little strangely. The newly lit torches shook back and forth, and Miyabe Jijun let out a low sigh and rushed into the nearby Ohorikan with brisk steps.

The Otemen Gate, which had blocked the Kira Army countless times, suddenly opened a gap, and it turned out that it was the Togakure ninja who successfully assassinated the soldiers patrolling nearby to steal the city gate, and Miyabe Jijun did not hesitate to lead the two armies to rush into the Ohorikan in a moment, and the Takeda defenders who were caught off guard were immediately breached the castle, and the city lord Hagiwara Masaaki was executed by the Kira ninja in his sleep, and in less than half an hour, he took a fortified city with three thousand defenders.

Then the follow-up main forces poured into the Ohorikan one after another, Miyabe Jijun received the order to continue to seize the city, so he rushed to Hirota with the headquarters of the reserve, taking advantage of the defenselessness of the defenders to go down to the next city, when the army of Miyabe Jirun rushed to Yokota Castle, the lord of Yokota Castle will Imai Nobumasa woke up very shocked in time, in the face of the Kira army used in all directions, he chose to use the extreme way of burning the castle tower to warn Mt. Chausu.

A raging fire in the dark night is so conspicuous, the Takeda army on Chajiu Mountain quickly discovered the military situation, Takeda Harunobu was woken up from sleep by the spectrum of the people, hurriedly put on his shirt and stared at the raging flames in the distance, stunned, except for the firelight everywhere under the mountain, it was dark and difficult to see the specific situation, but the faint screams were real.

"Not good! Yokota Castle is the closest to Chausu Mountain, and if Yokota Castle is on fire and the other two castles are silent, the three castles must have been lost! But I don't know how many routs have retreated, and my family must do their best to save these routs! Takeda Harunobu immediately made the decision to send a large army to rescue the defeated army.

Nagasaka Mitsuken stopped Takeda Harunobu and shouted: "Lord! Don't do that! You go and see how the army of this formation has shaken, and there is almost no place for us to stand if the three cities are lost, and the only way to do this is to retreat quickly! ”

Iifu Huchang pushed away the thin Nagasaka Mitsuken, and said sharply: "Nagasaka Chikuhou Shou, please pay attention to what you are talking about!" Are you trying to trap the Lord for injustice? Na Ji Liang scolded me when he scolded me, and you don't know what the Takeda family is, for today's plan, you should save the rout army in time and then make a decision! ”

Takeda Harunobu hesitated for a little and then fell silent, let him abandon the samurai and retreat in embarrassment It is absolutely impossible to do it, Saku-gun fell into the hands of the enemy, and he will give up half of Shinano's country to others when he retreats, and the unwilling Kai Tiger is determined to fight again, so he pretended not to see the eyes of Masatake Komai's ardent expectations.

Seeing this, several people rushed up and squeezed the weak spectrum members aside, swaggering to escort Takeda Harunobu out of the big tent, and Komai Masamu jumped to his feet in anger and scolded: "Rice rich Huchang's stupid material harms others and himself!" If I don't get rid of such ministers, my Takeda family will never have peace! ”

"Gao Bai Zhai is going to be sad, now I have to sacrifice my life, I will hurry up and follow the lord's main formation!" Nobuaki urged his colleagues to hurry up, and the 12,000 troops of the Takeda Army's main camp hurriedly left the battle, and the target went straight to Yokota Castle, and the forces on both sides collided again in the dark Hachimangahara on a bad night.

The vanguard of the Takeda Army was Takeda Akabi led by Iitomi Genshiro Masakai, who did not encounter Takigawa Tokiyoshi head-on. Seeing the Takeda Army ghost he killed, crying wolf, throwing away his armor, he couldn't help but be angry. With courage and self-confidence, he bumped into Kira Akabei. It just so happened that Kira Akabei was chasing and defeating the Takeda army that had withdrawn from Yokota Castle and was defenseless, so he rushed over against Kira Akabei and fought together.

Although Kira Chibei, who was attacked suddenly, was not panicked, the knights of each team covered each other under the command of the general and slowly distanced themselves, and when Iitomi saw Kira Chibei turn around and retreat, he thought they were afraid, and snorted coldly, and a violent roar erupted from his thin body: "Those who ask for the benefits of Takigawa will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and one hundred steps of knowledge and action, but the brave man with flesh and blood will rush over with me, and today's merits are all at this time!" ”

Takigawa Shiyi was stunned when he heard the distant shouting. The heart said that I didn't want to beat you to the point of being happy, and then shouted: "What a Takeda Akabei, there are really men who dare to fight with my Keijiro!" Sons, listen to the generals, and kill the enemy generals with me! What I wait for the samurai to do is to make a living with blood on the knife, and today's deeds are all thanks to coming to take it right away, follow me! ”

Kira Chibei's two thousand knights responded in unison, like a tiger roaring in the mountains, and the shocked Takeda Chibei was cold in his heart, and Iitomi Changjing was slightly frightened, knowing that the means of this general were definitely not a wasted straw bag, and he immediately did not dare to slack off and cheer up and command more than 100 cavalry elites left and right into a semicircle to Takigawa Shiyi.

Takigawa Shiyi saw a red-armored cavalry general rushing towards him, followed by a Takeda four-cut Ling flag, knowing that that person was the enemy general. So he ignored the oncoming Takeda Akabi horseback samurai, and with a loud shout, he clamped the horse's belly and rushed over. In front of the seven or eight Takeda Akabei on the opposite side, he raised his hand and waved, and the big gun swept towards their heads like a long dragon.

Those few riders Takeda Chibei rushed very anxiously and did not expect that Takigawa Shiyi would come straight to meet him, and for a while he couldn't help but be caught by this inevitable snatch and cut into the fragile throat chakra, swept past their necks, Yin Hong's blood made a "sizzling" sound gushing out, and several horsemen did not show ten percent of their martial bravery before they did the guns of the revenants, and the next moment Takigawa Shiyi had already drilled through the gap of those fallen samurai.

Wielding the blood-red spear like a tiger descending the mountain and dying, Takeda Chibei has never seen such a powerful enemy, not only is the man tall and the horse is like a monster, and the strange power is endless, the big gun is picked up and smashed violently, and the iron-beaten man will be smashed and vomit blood, and then even the war horse will be shocked and spurt blood from the nose, which is unreasonable and ruthless.

After a while, it seemed that he was tired of wielding, and he changed to another set of spear skills, all of which were spear pen dragon snakes, and each stabbing point of the dragon and snake smashed the throat chakra with a bright red blood flower, and the shuttle was as leisurely and lazy as a swimming fish, and the vertical and horizontal slammed and closed like a leisurely stroll and walked freely, and it was like entering a no-man's land to kill no one in the thousands of armies that dared to defeat it.

Seeing this situation, where did Iifu Changjing dare to stay and send him to death, even his generals couldn't be notified, so he fled straight to the west with a big flag, and the Takeda elite who had just sworn was only a moment before more than 200 people died, and the general of Takeda looked around and found that the general turned his head and retreated, how could he dare to meet the enemy, and the whistle ran away like a wild horse spreading the rope.

The same two-thousand-strong army but the one-sided situation was completely unexpected by Takigawa Tokiyi, and seeing that the rice Tomashi escaped from afar, he pouted his lips disapprovingly and laughed: "Is that the Takeda family's Chibei?" It looks like that's all there is to it! I thought that the general of this army was also a man, but he didn't want to run away without even daring to show his face, and he dared to call himself Chibei with such courage? Don't let such villains tarnish my prestige! ”

Kira Chibei this way to kill is not a light car Jane rushed over, they rushed to the main battlefield of Yokota City with the iron artillery team, now the fight is how fast the speed of the two sides, today's Chibei is not what it used to be, the elite of one person and two horses has a stronger endurance, and can also carry friendly troops to launch a surprise attack at a critical moment.

Takigawa Shiyi still wants to chase after the helpless is that the reaction of the Takeda family is very fast, more than 10,000 troops rumbling over, helpless is that before the battle did not expect that it will be so smooth, Kira Chibei lone army rushed deep to Bushi Shinui, there was no shelter in front of the battle, there was a lack of support behind the battle, Kira Chibei did not dare to fall in love with the battle to restrain the soldiers and horses and slowly retreated, Takeda Harunobu also saw that it was good to take the formation back to Chajiu Mountain.

In addition to this cavalry collision in the main battlefield, the battle of the Takeda defenders in the three castles lasted until September 30, when the sky was about to be released, and the remnants of the defenders of the three castles knew that there would be no more reinforcements to save them, so they gave up the idea of stubborn resistance and walked out of the house to be captured, which also made the Kira army, who was nervous for most of the night, relax.

This period captured more than 4,000 people, killed 800 and scattered more than 3,000 people, mainly in the middle of the night, and the moon was dark and the wind was high to see the movement outside, and some of the defenders rushed out to stop it, and the pursuit of the Kira army was also full of concerns, and finally missed the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Overall is still a good record, as the vanguard of the Miyabe Jirun non-stop to win three cities in a row is a great achievement, was called by Kira Yoshitoki to give him a special praise, promising him to have greater merit to give him a credit.

As soon as the day dawned, Takeda Nobushi's envoy was scattered on Hachimangahara, and in the middle of the night, the shouting and killing on Hachimangahara was also heard clearly by the Takeda Nobushihiro team on the other side, and several anxious samurai ran to the big tent to ask for battle, and he was pushed back to sleep, and the moon and the dark wind were high in the evil sun, and even the distant scenery could not see clearly what to take to rescue.

If you rush to Hachimanwara with the main force of 8,000 and crash headlong into the main camp of the Kira army, it will not only be a joke, but it will cause people's lives, so you can endure until dawn and quickly send someone to find out the news, and learn that the three castles on Hachimangahara changed hands overnight and were speechless for a long time.

Sanada Yutaka saw that his face was grim and did not squeak for a long time, so he explained: "Don't panic in the Pawn Palace, now all we can do is to capture this Kaizu Castle, and capture this city in accordance with the strategy of the Hojo family, exchange the prisoners of the three cities with the prisoners as hostages, and then talk about peace with each other, if this city is not broken, everything will be closed, and we will even have to think about the Chikuma River, so that the Kira Navy can spread ships to control several important shoal ferries near Hachimangahara, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to find out the news next time." ”

Takeda Nobu shook his head as if he didn't care too much, and said seriously: "The family is not panicking, but they are worried about the difficulty of the family business, as soon as Saito Asanobu enters Saku, the news will not be received intermittently, I don't know if the defenders in the rear can withstand the attack of Echigo Zhong Kui, as long as they are sober and refuse to defend the city, the three thousand cavalry will have nothing to do with us in the short term." ”

"Most of the Kira army will not continue to attack today, no matter what, we will take Haijin City in front, and this time we will leave it to the subordinates!" Sanada Yukitaka chose to avoid talking about Saku-gun, because he knew better than anyone what kind of kind of people were in the absence of Saku-gun Daidai Yamada Masatsun, and he didn't say it now because he was afraid that Takeda Nobuyoshi would be more worried, in case he decided to withdraw to Chausu Mountain at all costs to join the main formation, Sanada Yukitaka's achievements this time would be in vain.

Takeda Nobu Fan army did its main force, once again sacrificed the magic weapon of the people to assist Haizu Castle, 8,000 soldiers escorted 4,000 people to rush over, the sound of the gold diggers digging the earth with all their strength and the sound of the noise spread to the main camp of the Kira army in the Ohorikan, since the arrival of the Kira army in the middle of the night, Kira Yoshishi did not leave here half a step, a single command to strangle the remnants of the defenders, rectify the defense and prepare the battle ahead, and the food and grass equipment in the city were busy for half a night, and just squinted for a while, I heard the sound of shouting and killing from afar.

"How long can Haijin City hold on?"

Hattori Masari appeared at the door of the big tent in a flash, leaned down and replied respectfully: "Murakami Yulin Hall said that it can last for three days, but I also ask the hall owner to prepare in advance in case of accidents." ”

"Three days? It's good to see that he can survive today! Kira Yoshitoki shook his head with a smile: "The people are attacking the city, this Sanada Yutaka is really bold, and he is a capable general!" It's a pity that the Takeda family was cheapened for nothing! Murakami Yulin did a good job, change to other samurai to defend this Haijin City, I'm afraid this city has already been breached, the family must save him, let the sons and daughters rest, and there will be a night battle tonight! ”

As soon as it got dark on September 30, the main force of the Kira army left the ruined three castles and disappeared into the fields of Hachimangahara, about the beginning of the hour, there were bursts of drum noise from the Maose on the south side of Hachimangahara, and from the distance from the Chausu Mountain, you could see nearly 10,000 torches flickering like sparks, and the Takeda army was shocked and immediately realized that this was the Kira army marching towards the Takeda Nobuyoshi army on the south bank of the Chikuma River, once the Kira family defeated the Takeda Nobushiro army, the consequences were unimaginable, and Takeda Harunobu knew that this battle was indispensable. (To be continued......)
