Minamihizen Takajo is located at the junction of Biki-gun and Korai-gun, with Mt. Taradake, the highest mountain in Minamihizen, in front of it, the Ariake Sea and Omura Bay on the left and right, and the only way to enter the Shimabara Peninsula and Nagasaki Peninsula by land.

In the twelfth year of astronomy, 1543 AD, in the early morning of June 11, just after a fire in Gaocheng last night, the Luo family finally launched a full-scale siege war against Gaocheng.

"Report, the front army has arrived at the designated position."

"Report, the right flank of the front army has reached the designated position."

"Report, the left flank of the front army has reached the designated position."

"Report, the commandos are in place"

"Report, the cavalry has set off."

……

One after another, the deployment of the army converged in front of Zhengliang. In this siege battle, 2,900 of the 3,600 people of the Luo family were put into the frontal battlefield. Among them, the 500 first standing ashigaru teams led by the deputy generals Tetsunosuke and Asakura Sote, and the front army of 500 peasant soldiers will be the absolute main force of this siege battle.

The remaining left and right flanks consisted of 700 men each, each commanded by 100 samurai, in order to prepare for the formation and attract the troops of the enemy defending the city. Luo Zhengxiu was in charge of the 500-strong archers and was responsible for suppressing the defenders on the city walls. A hundred-strong iron artillery squad will be thrown into battle if necessary. A samurai squad of 200 men will serve as a commando team, and their target is the city gate. The cavalry of three hundred men was of other use. In the end, there were only a hundred people left around Masahiro as close guards.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you go forward and forget about death, you will live! If you are greedy for life, you will die! With the belief of mortality, slay down all the evil that stands in your way, so that you may accomplish your immortal deeds! Masahiro shouted as he looked at the black-pressed soldiers in front of him.

"Herald. Give me the siege. ”

With the order of Zhengliang. The battle has officially begun. Since it was still early in the morning. The fog shrouded in the vicinity of Gaocheng had not completely dissipated, so the Luo family directly used the horn of the conch to transmit orders at this time.

"Ready, put!" As the horn sounded, the phalanx of archers one hundred and fifty meters away launched the first bow attack.

"Whoosh ......" arrows rained into the city like a rain of arrows.

......After several painful days of being harassed by the archers of the Luo family, the defenders of the city had long been accustomed to such an attack. I saw that they took out a wooden board from their side and put it on their heads. A large number of arrows that came to the city were nailed directly to the planks. Of course, there are still many unlucky ghosts who have been shot by arrows drilling into the gaps in the defense.

There is no way, the range of the Luo family's bow and arrow is much farther than the bow and arrow in their hand, when it first started. They watched themselves shoot almost every day. Later, someone came up with the idea of using the wooden plank as a shield to defend against the Luo family's bow and arrow shooting. In order to prepare the planks, they almost demolished all the wooden houses in the city.

"Hmph, it seems that it is not possible to let you see how powerful it is." After seeing the situation on the city wall from a distance, Masara said in a cold voice, "Order, the iron artillery team enters the battlefield, and the direction of fire is the guards on the city wall above the city gate. The archer pauses the attack. ”

Soon, Andel, who was in the middle of the front army, received the order.

"Iron artillery team, prepare immediately, today we are going to show our skills." Ander immediately gave a loud command to his men to begin preparing for the shot. On the battlefield, due to the Luo family's archery, shooting stopped. The rest of the team had not yet begun to attack and fell into a brief silence.

Still terrified after a round of sudden attacks, the defenders slowly peeked their heads out from under the planks to find out what was going on. Through the gradually dissipating mist, they could faintly see a series of small sparks burning under the city. A rough count. At least there are hundreds of strings. What exactly are these?

"Bang bang bang ......" muskets rang out one after another. The guards on the city wall, some of them understood what was going on, and suddenly felt a pain in their bodies, and then they lost consciousness in an instant. The quicker defenders immediately pulled up the plank, trying to protect themselves with it again.

However, this time it was a bullet with a scorching temperature, not an arrow. With a strong momentum, the bullet pierced the plank in a slightly deformed trajectory, and finally shot into the body of the defender under the plank. Suddenly, amid the sound of muskets, the screams of the defenders continued to sound.

The guards near the gate were in dire straits, while the few remaining nearby defenders who were not attacked by muskets were stunned. What kind of attack is this?

"Heavenly thunder! It's a thunderbolt! It is the punishment of the god Hachiman. At this moment, someone shouted in time. Suddenly, a series of Fu harmonies sounded among the guards. The rest of the guards, who didn't know why, suddenly became nervous.

"This? What the hell is going on? Saigo Junkai and Omura Junmae, who heard the sound of muskets in the city, were also taken aback.

Not only were the enemies in the high city stunned, but even the people in the Luo family's main formation who had seen the huge momentum of this musket for the first time were also stunned. Among them, Arima Qingchun is especially so. No, to be precise, he was now not stunned, but completely frightened. What would it be like if such a weapon appeared outside the castle of Arima's house? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he couldn't help but consider the submission conditions given by Zhengliang.

At this time, of course, Zhengliang will not care what other people's reactions are now. After four consecutive rounds of attacks by the iron artillery team, he gave two more orders, one was to let the archers continue to shoot and continue to suppress the defenders on the wall above the city gate.

Since muskets are dangerous to explode, they should be stopped to cool down after each period of fire. During this period of cessation of shooting, it was up to the archers to suppress the enemy on the walls.

In addition to ordering the archers to attack, Masarashi also gave the order for the former siege troops to start attacking.

"Warriors, the time has come for the enemy to see the bravery of their own family, kill me!" After receiving Masaliang's order, he gave a shout and personally led the soldiers behind him to kill Gaocheng.

Immediately behind, Tetsunosuke and Asakura Sodri also commanded everyone to lift more than a dozen cloud ladders and quickly run towards the castle of Takashiro. After studying in the Luo clan dojo for a period of time, almost every military general hopes to become the "god of war" of the Luo family, and there are three military gods in the heart of Asakura Zongdi, one is the real military god of the Han Cang family, the real Asakura Zongdi; the second is the head of the Luo family, who is privately called the "god of war" of the Luo family by the soldiers, Luo Zhengliang; The last one is himself, who is determined to become a military god like the previous two.

During this period of time, in addition to harassing the combined forces of the big village family and the Xixiang family in Gaocheng every day, the Luo family also took the opportunity to fill in the mountain roads and trenches under the Gaocheng city wall. At this time, the soldiers of the Luo family were like thousands of troops scattered on the plain, divided into three phalanxes, left, center, and right, and rushed towards Gaocheng.

"Get up, get me up quickly, don't let them come up." When the ladder of the Luo family was erected on the wall of the high city, the warriors in the city immediately called out to the guards hiding under the battlements to defend as if they had seen a dead soul.

"Oh my God! What is this? When the guards who had climbed up in battle saw strange ladders on the edge of the wall, they exclaimed.

"Quick, take the stones, the sassalwood, and throw them to death for me. Push those ladders out of the way for me. Someone immediately shouted.

Thus, a fierce offensive and defensive battle began. The soldiers of the Luo family tried to climb the city wall along the ladder one after another, and the city wall was attacked with stones, boiling water, etc., and some people even pushed the ladder on the city wall directly at the risk of being shot by the continuous shooting outside the city. Many soldiers of the Luo family fell from the seven or eight meters of the city wall......

"Commando, start attacking." Seeing that soon after the siege began, the soldiers of the Luo family were injured a lot, and Masahiro immediately gave the last order to attack.

After receiving the order, the two hundred warriors wearing Roche armor were divided into three teams, the first team was a dozen or so warriors holding a large wooden plank, and I saw that everyone under the wooden board was holding a small bag of strange things; The second team carried a thick tree trunk, which was ready to ram the city gates; The last team was more numerous, and they were responsible for carrying simple wooden shields to cover the first two teams.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let the people of the world see the justice and bravery of the Luo family! Sortie! ”

"Hey! Ay! Oh! ”

"Hey! Ay! Oh! ”

"Hey! Ay! Oh! ”

The samurai, encouraged by Masayo, cheered and rushed towards Takajo.

(In front of the hospital bed in a wooden house, an old man who was about to die looked at his son in front of him tremblingly and said, "Son, when this book is recommended to 40,000 yuan, you must burn a piece of paper and tell me!") The son, who was originally full of sadness, immediately turned dark, and scolded angrily in his heart: Burn a JB! At the current rate of dozens of votes per day, it is estimated that I will have to ask my son to burn a piece of paper for me...... Ladies and gentlemen, please don't wave your sleeves and leave after reading the book, even if you don't take the clouds, you will leave a recommendation ticket! You must know that after voting, your demeanor is even more chic and charming! (To be continued......)
