After leaving Honda Masanobu and other members of the Luo family to continue to take over Shikawa Takiyama Castle, Miyamasa led the army mainly under his command to the nearby home city of the landed palace family, Kunizhu Castle, on the second day.

Of course, Gong Zhengwei left Honda Masanobu, and he also had other calculations. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Aridi Takano, so that he doesn't have to worry about the Luo family abandoning him in order to appease the people of the Dida Palace family afterwards, but continues to let Somedi Takanobu continue to serve as the governor of the Dida Palace, so as to control the Didi Palace family. After all, as long as he is still the new master here, although he is subordinate to the Luo family, he at least maintains a certain degree of independence, in this comparison, the Luo family is likely to let Ariji Takanobu continue to stay and become the puppet of the Luo family, and he will be suppressed or even abandoned.

It was with this purpose in mind that this morning, he led the army under his command to the outside of Guozhu City in a hurry. Looking at the tense cage city of Guozhu City, the slowly advancing front team of the palace government army finally stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the national bamboo city was built on a two-hundred-meter-high earth mountain.

Gong Zhengwei's retainers walked to the front of the team and smiled, and shouted hoarsely: "There is a land Longxin, hand over the national bamboo city and grain to His Royal Highness Gong Zhengwei, and let go and wait for a way out, otherwise the national bamboo city will be broken, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”

"Break the national bamboo city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left."

"Break the national bamboo city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." The shouts of killing were deafening, and almost all the peasants and soldiers in the city were frightened.

Ariji Takanobu has been standing on the walled tower looking at the front team of the palace government army that suddenly stopped, and listened to the palace government army's persuasion to surrender. He immediately asked with a look of anger on his face, "Why do you want to rebel?" Take advantage of the fact that reinforcements from Takiyama Castle have not arrived. I'd better advise you to surrender as soon as possible. ”

"Hahaha......" After hearing this, everyone in the palace and government outside the city heard this. But they immediately laughed, and in the end, it was the retainer who was still the palace politician and said with a sneer:

"Hahaha...... There is a ground Takashi, tell you the truth, we are from Takiyama Castle, which has been captured by us last night, and I still advise the people in the city to surrender quickly. ”

"What?" In the national bamboo city, whether it is Takanobu himself or other defenders. After learning the news, they were all shocked, and everyone couldn't help but say to themselves: "No wonder now, even if the city lord sent several groups of people to Takiyama City to ask for help, there was no response, it turned out that it had already been captured by those guys outside the city!" ”

"This? That's impossible! After panicking for a while, Ariji Takanobu immediately scolded angrily.

And Gong Zhengwei was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ariji Takanobu at this time, he sent troops this time to take the opportunity to kill Ariji Takanobu, so naturally he couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise after the Luo family's people completely controlled Takiyama City. He also sent men and horses to support him, but it made it difficult for him to attack Ariji Takannobu. So he immediately shouted to his subordinates, "Gentlemen, ......"

The warriors present immediately stood in awe and turned to him.

Gong Zhengwei's fierce gaze swept over the faces of the warriors present one by one, and then said murderously: "Give you an hour's time, if you can't quickly take the National Bamboo City within an hour, the monarchs will be ready to commit suicide by seppuku, once the National Bamboo City is conquered, each person can get a stone of grain and a treasure knife, and the women in the city are at their disposal." ”

"Yes." The ten samurai in the front team of the palace government army bowed their heads at the same time, and their eyes fiercely agreed.

So, under the order of Gong Zhengwei, more than 100 soldiers in the front team began to charge, and the sound of cursing and shouting resounded in the sky. As soon as the front team of the palace government army climbed fifty or sixty meters above the earth mountain, Takanobu Ariji gave an order: "Shoot, shoot at will......"

With Ariji Takanobu shouting loudly, the soldiers of Kunitsu Castle finally shot the first arrow to resist the invasion.

However, due to the sudden attack, the troops in the city were too thin at this time, although the woods on both sides of the mountain road dispersed the enemy's attack cooperation, but also blocked the range of the arrows, most of the arrows fell in the woods, only a small part was scattered into the enemy's impact formation, but it was like a small stone falling into a small pond, only a ripple appeared.

However, some soldiers in the front team of the palace army had fallen to the ground with an arrow, and a stray arrow pierced his throat, and then like a piece of wood that had been knocked down, he fell straight to the rear, becoming the first victim of this cage battle.

More and more soldiers in the front team of the palace army have become victims of this cage city battle, and Gong Zhengwei did not expect that Guozhu City would prepare so many arrows and shoot without money. And most of the soldiers under his command are wearing foot equipment, and their chests can block the attack of arrows, but their limbs, heads and necks cannot hide, and they have suffered heavy losses in the blink of an eye, and more than 30 soldiers are lying on the ground.

In the real number of battles in the cage city war, first of all, the most terrible thing is the bow and arrow, seventy percent of the people are killed by bows and arrows, and the next three percent are killed by spears, knives, stones and other melee weapons.

"The rear team covers, shoots, suppresses them all, the front team almost attacks, fast!" The samurai in the front of the palace army finally began to counterattack, and the archery troops in the rear suddenly stopped advancing, and they fired bows and arrows at the soldiers on the castle in unison.

As they looked up at the arrows fired, most of the first shots were fired at the castle, and only a few were fired into the castle, but they immediately made adjustments, and under the roar of the five ashigaru captains, they began to suppress the soldiers on the castle to cover the infantry in the front team to quickly approach the castle.

The exposed heads of the soldiers of the underground palace family on the castle immediately became the target of the arrows, and in an instant, they pierced through the faces of several probe peasant soldiers, and fell down the castle on their backs, becoming a cold corpse.

However, in the face of more enemy soldiers in the front line of the palace army who poured into the city, they could no longer care about dodging the enemy's fire, and could only do their best to block the more threatening enemy.

On the castle tower, the roar of Ariji Takashin sounded again: "Stones, quick, throw stones." Hurry up ......"

The attack of the stone instantly played a decisive role. More than a dozen enemy soldiers, bleeding from their heads, fell to the ground and screamed. But it was at this moment that the role of the stone came to an end. Most of the fortresses in Bigo Province are different from the fortresses of the West or Great China, but they are about the same as the fortresses, so the walls are so short that they can be rushed into them with just two soldiers' hands, which cannot be compared with the tall and sturdy ancient Chinese walls.

Arichi Takanobu threw away the Maruki bow in his hand, took a step back, drew his sword, and shouted loudly, "Kill...... Ah......" slashed at the enemy soldier who was about to burst up with his head exposed. The head of the enemy soldier was cut off with a single sword, but more and more enemy soldiers came out.

Hand-to-hand combat immediately began, and when Gong Zhengwei saw that the battle was about to be decided, he immediately ordered the second and third teams of Gong Zhengjun to join the attack sequence, and dozens of new forces began to charge......

The shape of defeat became more and more apparent, and Arichi Takanobu slashed and killed an enemy soldier and retreated while fighting and retreating under the escort of several retainers. He saw his samurai and peasant soldiers fall in a pool of blood one by one, suffering heavy casualties, and if he continued to kill like this, it would not take an hour for the national bamboo city to fall, and he would also die at that time.

He thought of it as soon as he thought about it. I felt a little sad and indignant, and immediately said to myself: "Since that's the case." Then let's all die together. ”

Then he led a few of his retainers to the utility room in the city, but as soon as he ran into the utility room, he smelled a foul smell. The stench is the black oil from the utility room.

These black oils were collected last year, and a barrel of black oil was worth five grains, and a total of fifty barrels were collected, but then the traveling merchants didn't want it, so they kept it here and didn't touch it. Now that it was time for life and death, Ariji Takanobu immediately remembered these black oils.

After seeing these black oils, Arichi Takanbu also began to order the peasants to hurry up and set them up.

Outside the Guozhu City, Gong Zhengwei was happy when he saw that the Guozhu City was about to be breached, and he was very excited when he thought that he was about to replace the position of the Didi Gong family, and with the support of the Luo family, he became the new owner of the territory of the Didi Gong family.

The addition of the new force of the palace army was like the last straw that crushed life, and the defenders of Guozhu City finally collapsed, and most of the peasant soldiers began to run wildly, all running towards the outside of the city, shouting for mercy as they ran.

The new force of the palace government army that has just joined the battlefield is eager to make meritorious contributions, where can they take care of the enemy's forgiveness, and every enemy's head is a war achievement. In the troubled times of the Warring States period, there was no woman's kindness, and most of the people who could survive for a long time were able to treat their lives as if they were a mustard, and they were often able to be ruthless to the enemy.

Whether it is an enemy who resists with a sword or a captive who has begged for mercy and surrendered, as long as you get their heads, you can get food and money after the battle, and even get the honor of a samurai.

The palace army was like a tiger and stabbed into the national bamboo city that had no resistance, and the sharp swords, guns and halberds pierced into the body of anyone who was not a companion like a straw, and continuous screams came from all over the national bamboo city.

While the fierce battles were still raging in various parts of the city, Arichi Takanbu was standing in front of the castle tower with seven close retainers at this time, sighing in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he finally turned back to one of his retainers and asked, "Is the black oil ready?" ”

The retainer nodded and replied, "It's all dumped in the city, and it can be burned as long as the fire starts, but it's just ......."

Ariji Takashi didn't wait for his reply, and said fiercely: "Burn it!" "Anyway, the ladies and other non-combat personnel in the city have been moved to a dense forest near the city to hide in advance before the arrival of Gong Zhengwei's army, and he has nothing to scruple about at this time. And he himself can't leave here, and once the city is captured by Gong Zhengwei, then it will be difficult for him to turn over. And now that we can't keep the city, we should simply end up together.

At this time, Gong Zhengwei also led a team of people to rush to the door of the city hall and took a deep breath, but a smell mixed with mud, blood, and an unknown stench suddenly entered his nose, yes, it was a strong smell of blood, and the unknown stench.

The smell of Miyamasa is also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has participated in various battles convened by the Maori family, and this is the first time he has smelled such a foul smell, looking at the ground, some viscous liquid flowed all over the hall, and with the flow of liquid, a lone wooden barrel appeared in the corner of the hall.

Strange, what is this, he is in a high position, he has never known the black oil that only the untouched people at the bottom will use. He doesn't know him, someone just does.

A samurai who was following him also smelled the foul smell coming from the air and shouted, "This is black oil, this is black oil, everyone get out of here!" ”

Ignoring the fact that their faces were becoming more and more ugly, they took the lead in running towards the outside of the city, and by the time everyone reacted, it was already late.

The fire pond in the hall met the black oil flowing through, and the oil met the fire, which instantly ignited the entire hall, and then the entire national bamboo city.

The smell of foul smell wafted throughout the city, and more than 100 palace soldiers who rushed in with enthusiasm looked at the flames burning around them, and shouted loudly, "Run!" Run! The sound began to run wildly out of the city.

Gong Zhengwei saw that the hall instantly turned into a sea of fire, his eyebrows and hair were all burned, and a scorching smell came from his face, regardless of the pain of the blisters on his face, he immediately ran towards the city gate, shouting as he ran: "Go!" Hurry up and get out of this hellish place! Mother, don't get in the way, go to death......"

In a hurry, he held a sharp sword, and with a wave of his hand, he stabbed a samurai who was blocking in front of him, and the samurai turned his head in shock to look at the fierce Miyamasa, and his body suddenly softened, and he screamed again in a heart-rending voice.

Both the armor on the samurai and the footgear wrapped around the ashigaru were made of wooden planks and bamboo chips, among which the so-called armor was at most a protective iron plate in an important position on the chest, and the rest of the place was made of wooden planks and bamboo chips, and then painted to strengthen it, no matter whether it was good or bad, it could not prevent fire.

The ground was full of black oil, and it was a bouncing spark that scurried around, and the castle was built of wood and bamboo poles, and it burned rapidly, forming a large sea of fire.

Immediately a huge sea of fire was formed on the whole mountain, and the trees on the mountain also burned, and the soldiers who fell behind could not escape, running in the sea of fire, begging for life and death, filled with miserable wails and roars.

And the complacent Miyamasa still failed to escape from the city, and finally died with Ariji Takanobu. When Honda Masanobu in Takiyama Castle led his men and horses to the outside of the castle of Kunizhu, which was still burning, it was already too late.

"Send someone to Sanyuan City immediately to report to the lord, and ask the lord to immediately send a large army to take over the territory." In the end, Honda Masanobu still ordered.

"Yes!" The command immediately received the order.

"Hahaha......" And when Masayo of Mihara Castle, which is at the junction of Bigo Province and Aki Province, received an urgent report from Honda Masanobu, he immediately burst out laughing.

It's no wonder that Masahiro is so happy, it has been good news recently!
