Chapter 948: Ridiculous Man
The west gate of Matsuo Castle in the northern region of Kyushu Hyuga Province has been completely controlled by the army of the Luo family at this time, and the main force of the army of the Luo family is pouring in. However, the defenders in the city were desperately resisting, so the city was suddenly full of gunfire and swords.
The first to stand up and respond to Ito's call was none other than the Ito family's retainer Satohara Sase. The Satohara family, who was the lord of the Ito family's original Satowara Castle, was an important retainer of the Ito family after being conquered by the Ito family and establishing the Ito's home city in their original territory. Now, at the time of crisis, Satohara Sase, as the governor of the Satohara family, is naturally going to stand up.
So everyone in the Ito family of Ito Youdong stood shoulder to shoulder, nail-like piercing, still dead. When the Luo family's wave after wave of attacks came to their eyes, they were all shattered!
Matsuo Castle is an important town of the Ito family, and all the soldiers who can be stationed here are the elite soldiers of the Ito family. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the back road, the Shimazu family also left a heavy army in the castle. And in order to preserve the bloodline, Saeki Weijiao, the governor of the Saeki family, also placed his son Saeki Weizhi and his grandson Saeki Weiding and others in it. In addition, as a logistics center to support the tripartite alliance of the Saeki, Shimazu, and Ito families in the north, a large amount of supplies such as food and weapons were stored here. With such an important town, neither the Ito family, nor the Shimazu family and the Saeki family could be lost.
As a result, the resistance of more than a dozen samurai of the Ito family was delayed, and the momentum of the three coalition forces on the side of the defenders was also encouraged by the literature of "Long > Wind". "Kill and kill back", Ito Yuto shouted almost every time he saw the knife. Almost shouted to the fullest.
"Array!" Seeing that the road ahead is blocked. As the main general of the Luo family's vanguard on the besieging side. Takasaka Masanobu immediately ordered. In this attack, the strength of the Luo family's side was mainly cavalry, iron cannons, and archers, and the narrow battlefield in the city just limited the swing of the cavalry as the main force.
With Takasaka Masanobu's order, I saw countless standing soldiers of the Luo family quickly assemble and move forward. The shield-bearer turns up and closes his shield. Cruches the ground to block attacks. The pikemen entered, and the spear mounted the shield, and stabbed straight. The archers retreated, facing the sky at forty-five degrees, and the arrows roared and pounced on the enemy formation.
Under the attack of the Luo family's attacking camp, the soldiers defending the city who had just gradually calmed down under the organization of Ito Youdong and others suddenly began to chaos again.
Seeing this, Ito Yuto immediately raised his sword. He waved forward and shouted, "Up." Give it to me! Those who can retake the city gates will be rewarded. The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, so the soldiers on the defending side, led by several samurai, screamed and slaughtered the siege vanguard led by Isono Yuanchang. The two armies immediately fought together again.
At this time, at the gate of the West Gate, the main general of the main siege force, Isono Yuanchang, also arrived at this time, so he immediately ordered: "Line up, move closer to me, and all arms will return to their positions." On the side, the banner of "Black Eagle" was unfurled, but in the firelight, it was red like blood. The flag-bearer holds a large flag in his hand, and stands straight like a javelin.
Thanks to the advance formation of Takasaka Masanobu in front of him to stabilize the position of occupying the city gate, the main force of the Luo family that poured into the city behind was able to calmly arrange the attack camp. As the chief archer, Mitai Uktake also commanded the archers in a formation and opened their bows to shoot at the defenders of Matsuo Castle who were constantly attracting from afar.
This time in the attack on Matsuo Castle, the biggest credit is naturally Mitai Youwu. A few years ago, he was sent to the Higo region by Ito Yoshisuke in response to the call of the Otomo family to jointly resist the Luo family's invasion of the Higo country, but he was captured by the Luo family, and was forced to secretly return to Nakayama Castle, the territory of the Mitai family, on the border between Hyuga and Higo countries. Since then, Zhongshan City has become a territory secretly controlled by the Luo family. In order to cooperate with the Luo family's control of the area, Mitajing Youwu not only sent his son's family to the Luo family's territory, but even dispersed the clansmen and the people to settle in the Luo family's territory, and his territory was replaced by the army sent by the Luo family and the Luo family's people.
With the cooperation of Mitai Youwu, the Ito family has not rebelled against the Mitai family for a long time, so it also led Masarashi to secretly send a part of the main force to Zhongshan Castle as a breakthrough point, and was able to directly attack Matsuo Castle in Hyuga Province. In the process of running along the way, Mitai Youwu entered the checkpoints and earth bars along the way as "his own person", and then cooperated with the Luo family's army to quickly and quietly take these places, so that the army could approach Matsuo Castle along the way.
At this time, Mitai Youwu, who was standing on the wall of the west gate of Matsuo Castle, looked at the archers of the Luo family who formed a formation around him, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, "Hold on, you must hold on." As long as Matsuo Castle is captured, his mission will be completed, and he will be able to return to the Gakufu Castle of Hizen Province safely and reunite with his son and family. ”
According to the agreement with Masarao, as long as he assists the Luo family's army to take Matsuo Castle, he can obtain an idle position in the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet in the Hizen National School City in Kyushu, and can live with his family in peace. After all, for so many years, as a betrayer, he actually feared every day, and for this reason, he had grown a few more white heads. At this moment, of course, he was nervous in his heart. Of course, as the main army of the Luo family marched into the city in a neat formation, his heart became even calmer.
In Matsuo Castle, the war horses neighed, and the cavalry from the rear also rushed into the city. The chaotic formation of the defending side was also regrouped under the command of the samurai of the Shimazu family and the Saeki family who came to support.
At this time, the main general of this formation, Isono Yuanchang, immediately raised his arm and slashed down, "Attack again!" ”。
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo", the trumpeters of the Luo family also immediately blew the horn of the attacking conch. The earth-shattering sound of killing once again echoed over Matsuo Castle.
There is no danger in the city, and in the face of the Luo family's army that formed a camp, how can the defenders of the city block the Luo family's offensive in this round?
"Fight." , Ito's retainer Mirashige screamed wildly. Directly crashed into the slowly approaching gun array of the Luo family. Behind him. More than a dozen soldiers followed. Forthwith. The soldiers defending the city of the Matsuo Army also went crazy, "killing ......", and everyone rushed up with a roar. And the Luo family's side is coming according to the degree of previous training.
With a "boom", the people and horses in the two directions collided like a tide of rage. Immediately, the severed blades of the stumps flew sideways, and the screams of dying continued. The people in the front row fell. The rear row rushed up and continued the attack by stepping on the corpse of the person in front.
The East is gradually revealing itself. Matsuo Castle, shrouded in a hazy morning mist, many people who have never seen it before are divided into two camps and desperately fight for the belonging of a castle. A lot of people have already fallen, however, there are many more who are about to fall.
The most prominent of the defenders of the Matsuo Army was a small cone-shaped formation of a dozen people. The general of the spine is like a mad tiger, unstoppable, and the samurai goose shape behind him follows, fighting desperately. They attacked against the Luo family's army. The big array that cone into the Luo family, and it swooped out. Hurricane, killed under the city gate in one go. It's just that behind him, no one can keep up.
After a long battle, fatigue has appeared. In front of and behind him, there was an army of the Luo family that was pressed by black.
"Kill", the Ito family of Shii shouted for a long time. If you want to say who in the Ito family hates the Luo family the most, then it will naturally be a long time for the wild martial arts.
A few years ago, Aratake Kanhisa's elder brother and the first brave general of the Ito family, Aratake Sotachi, as the main general who supported the Otomo family's Higo country, went to Higo Province to fight against the army of the Luo family who invaded the area, but unfortunately died in the local area, and several important ministers and main samurai of the Arsatake family who followed his brother also died in the Higo country, directly leading to the great decline in the strength of the Arasashi family, although he struggled to maintain the family's livelihood as a younger brother, but the family power was still declining, and gradually lost the important care of the Ito family. And Aratake Huanjiu has always blamed the Luo family for this qiē, and now that the Luo family has invaded the Hyuga Kingdom, he naturally has to resist hard.
"Aim at them." Just when Aratake Kanhisa led several Ito retainers to fight the wall of the West Gate, Irita Yoshimi, who was the main general of the Iron Artillery Team in this siege army, had already set his sights on them.
The Luo family currently has only two iron cannon teams with numbers, and Irita Yoshimi is the main commander of the second team. With the increasing role of the Iron Artillery Team in the Luo family's military situation, it is natural that more and more retainers in the family covet the position of the commander of his team.
And Irita Yoshimi also knows very well that the reason why he was promoted by the lord Gongzheng Liang to the chief general of the second standing iron artillery team is because his father, the important minister of the Otomo family at the time, Irita Qincheng decisively abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and assisted the lord Gongzheng Liang to win a lot of the territory of the former Otomo family, so as to reward his father and appease his father and the retainers of the former Otomo family who surrendered to the Luo family.
On the other hand, it is because he likes the iron cannon purchased from the Nanban since he was a child, and he learned an iron cannon skill from a Nanban, and even after joining the Luo family, he achieved good results in the Luo family, and once again learned from the lord and the lord in the school, and improved the iron cannon skills again. Not only does he have iron cannon skills, but he is also considered an apprentice of the lord and the good government. Under these two conditions, he was able to obtain the position of the chief general of the second standing iron artillery team, which had only been established for less than two years.
It's just that even if the above two conditions are met, in order to grasp the position of the main general, according to the law of the Luo family, it is still based on military merits. Although he had also participated in several battles of the Luo family in the past, he had not obtained much, and this time he had a rare opportunity to win a battle that would determine the situation of his family in the southern Kyushu region, and he naturally valued it very much. Now that he saw that the resistance of these people was so fierce, it was obviously a good military achievement, and he naturally immediately targeted these people.
After several iron cannons around him were standing up and aiming at the people of Asatake Huanjiu, he also picked up the latest self-made iron cannon of the Luo family personally awarded by the lord Zhengliang in his hand, and slowly aimed at Asatake Huanjiu.
"Shoot!"
"Tom, tom, tom......" Accompanied by the sound of several iron cannons, a tongue of fire came out of the barrel of the iron cannon in the hands of Yoshimi Irita and others, and the projectiles in the barrel also entered the arrow from the string, shooting towards Aratake Kanjiu and others.
"Ahh "Ah! "Damn! ”……
In a burst of screams, several people who were killed by Aratake Huanjiu were immediately shot, and several of them even fell directly to the ground, but more than a dozen people, including Aratake Huanjiu, were still standing tenaciously in place, trying to continue fighting. But the swords, lights, and guns in the hands of the countless Luo family standing soldiers around the sky swirled in the air, surging into a cyan color, surging towards the remaining dozen or so people under the city, and before long, they completely submerged the few people under the city.
What's ridiculous is that the elder brother Aratake Zongli was overconfident and even arrogant in Higo Province back then, and tried to single out the Luo family's governor, who was only known as Hizen's Eagle at that time (at this time it was already known as the Kyushu Eagle), but was shot through the head by Masashi directly with an iron cannon, and now, as a younger brother, Aratake Huanjiu, who was bent on avenging his brother, also died tragically under the iron cannon. It's ridiculous. (To be continued......)
