Tokaido, Suruga Kokujunfu Castle.
For Takeda Shingen has set his sights on the Tokaido region, Masara naturally doesn't know for the time being, and at this time, he is still commanding the army to continue to besiege Sunfu Castle.
Today, the sky was gray, and it was already the third month of the Battle of Junfu Castle. Previously, after a fierce battle, the army of the Toe Imagawa family had already attacked the Tengu Maru of Suruga Imagawa House Castle under the secret command of Masara.
At this time, in the Tengu Maru, the flag seal of the Toe Imagawa family stood tall, and countless black-clad and black-armored Samurai of the Toe Imagawa family and ashigaru hedgehogs gathered in the city, and the mountain wind blew, and the flag fingers were plucked and fluttered like ocean waves.
Masara, on the other hand, is holding the famous sword at his waist and standing on the highest samurai house of Tengu Maru in Sunpu Castle, looking at Ninomaru in Sunfu Castle.
Attacking from Tengu Maru, there are two horse paths that lead to Honmaru in Sunpu Castle, passing through Ninomaru and Nakajo respectively. The road from Midtown is very difficult to navigate, the terrain is narrow, only a few people are allowed to pass through the guò, and it is flanked by high walls.
And the Ninomaru road, although the attack distance is a little farther, is a relatively wide road, but the disadvantage is that if you attack Ninomaru from Tengu Maru, you will be attacked by Nakajo, Honmaru, and Ninomaru itself at the same time, three firepower.
Which route to choose to attack is a difficult choice for the army of the Imagawa family in Toe.
In the end, Masato was discussed by Kansuke Yamamoto and others. Finally, it was agreed. Ninomaru is the main direction of attack. In the direction of Nakajo, a feint was used to disperse the pressure on Ninomaru's attacking troops.
As the main force of the attack, it is the army led by Bai Wu Xiankan and Cheng Song Xinsheng, and the subordinates of Bai Wu Xiankan and Cheng Song Xinsheng are all recuperating after yesterday's day, and they are all new forces, and they are all ready to go.
The same new army also has a drawback, they are inexperienced in attacking a fortified city like Sunfu Castle, which is very ineffective in the beginning. They must trade human lives for lessons.
This time, Masarashi set the reward for the spear of Ninomaru Ichiban, who was the first to attack, and no matter the samurai ashigaru, he could get 400 koku Zhiyuki, which was twice the reward set by the previous siege army.
Under such a heavy reward, the soldiers of the Yuane Imagawa family were boiling, and they were waiting for the opportunity to attack the city one by one. And as the main generals, Hyakumi and Narimatsu Nobukatsu are also confident that with the bravery and good fighting of the army of the Imagawa family of Yuane, and the fierceness of such a high reward, it is enough for them to exert 200% of their combat power.
Hyakwu Kenkan and Nari Matsu Shinkatsu are convinced that Ninomaru will definitely be able to go down in one day today!
At the time of the hour, as the mountain fog dissipated, Hyakumtake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu finally gave the order to the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family to go out of battle.
The roar of the Ninomaru iron cannon. Suddenly, the Suruga Imagawa family in Sunfu Castle, who was sleeping lightly, will wake up. Many people's first reaction was to reach out and touch the katana next to their pillow, and wait until they heard the gunshots sound some distance away from them. They were a little relieved.
These generals of the Suruga Imagawa family didn't sleep all night last night, and only when it was almost dawn, did they sleep lightly for less than two hours. At this time, many of them walked to the north side of the castle tower, and when the windows were erected, they were greeted by the earth-shattering hustle and bustle, and what they saw in front of them was the formation of mountains and seas when the army of the Toe Imagawa family came out of battle.
Looking at it this way, in a small tengu pill, there are now many troops of the Imagawa family who are waiting to go into battle, and they are waiting there.
On the top of the road leading to Ninomaru from the top of the castle tower, a pair of black armor was advancing one after another, carrying the arrow shield, and flocking to Ninomaru like a dense swarm of ants.
Then the Ninomaru curl wheel, and the iron cannon on the arrow oar sounded, and the arrows rained down. However, as if ordered to die, the Ashigaru of the Imagawa family of the Toe Imagawa family ignored their comrades, who were constantly being killed by iron cannon bows and arrows, and began to fill the Horikiri in front of Ninomaru with arrows and bags on their backs.
The army of the Toe Imagawa family continued to fall from bullets and arrows, but immediately a follow-up Ashigaru took his dirt bag and filled Horikiri forward. One by one, the army of the Imagawa family of Togae seemed to be dying, and rushed to the Ninomaru where the army of the Suruga Imagawa family was stationed.
Just when the army of the Imagawa family in Enoe launched a wave of attacks towards Ninomaru, and at this time, the iron artillery team of Nakajo, as well as Honmaru's side, and the warp wheel close to Ninomaru's side, also sounded at the same time. Under the salvo from three sides, the army of the Imagawa family of Toe who attacked Ninomaru finally suffered a large number of casualties.
Dodging this wave of bombardment, the surviving army of the Enoe-Imagawa family seemed to have finally begun to realize what a terrible thing death was, so they reined in a lot, hiding behind the arrow board, not daring to come out.
However, after all, the troops of the Enoe-Imagawa family were sufficient, and they even had the strength to spare, so they began to send a force to the Tengu Maru to the horse road in Nakajo to attack again.
After seeing the flag of the general fluttering in the Tengu Pill, the generals of the Suruga Imagawa family knew that at this time, the generals of the Toe Imagawa family's army who were in charge of the siege of the castle were Hyakutake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu, and they had already heard of the name of the bravery of these two people. In the same way, the troops under their command are also the elite of the army of the Imagawa family in Yuanjiang.
The generals of the Suruga Imagawa family made a rough estimate at the castle tower, and only the siege force dispatched by the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family today was between two and three times the strength of the army of the Suruga Imagawa family defending the city, and what was even worse was that this was only a part of the huge military strength of the army of the Toe Imagawa family.
"How many more days can we hold out?"
Seeing such a scene, this question involuntarily popped up in the minds of all the generals of the Suruga Imagawa family at this moment.
Immediately, the fierce battle of the siege lasted for a whole morning, with the powerful firepower of the iron artillery team, as well as the cooperation of Nakajo and Honmaru. The army of the Toe Imagawa family attacked Ninomaru in Sunfu Castle, leaving behind more than 200 corpses in one morning, but they did not advance an inch. They can't even fill in Horikiri.
It's no wonder that Hyakkutake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu are two people, in terms of favorable terrain conditions for the defenders, Ninomaru is twice as difficult as the previous Tengu Pill.
And at this moment, in the sky, dark clouds were thick, lightning flashed, and thunder sounded. Seeing this scene, the faces of the Suruga Imagawa family couldn't help but change dramatically at this moment.
"Oh no, this time the iron cannon ammunition is unusable, so the pressure on the defense will be even greater." The Suruga Imagawa family will look up at the sky and think.
The same army of the Toe Imagawa family was located in the main camp of Tengu Maru. Hyakumtake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu saw the scene of the army of the Imagawa family in front of Ninomaru being killed and wounded. They were all eager to do so at the moment, and when the city was broken, they would capture all the iron cannons of the Suruga Imagawa family's army, and execute them one by one.
For the army of the Enoe-Imagawa family, the death of iron cannons is greater than that of bows and arrows, and bows and arrows can also avoid blocking, and even shoot on the body, and armor can be weakened. But the iron cannon is completely unavoidable, unstoppable, and it is a hole in the iron armor.
In the face of the suppression of the iron cannon, no matter how brave the samurai of the Imagawa family of Toe was, they did not dare to play with their surnames, and would rather be hacked to death by the enemy samurai from the front with a dignified sword, or be killed by a shot by this invisible thing, and die completely unclear.
At present, Hyakkutake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu are very worried in their hearts, and the difficult terrain of Ninomaru, as well as the terrifying number of iron cannons of the Suruga Imagawa family, make it difficult for them to move. They were even thinking that if the military strength was so badly damaged today, they would not be able to attack the Suruga Imagawa family's army Ninomaru in one step. In such a situation, they really don't know how to explain to the lord and the government.
Just when the two of them were at a loss, there was thunder in the sky, and they looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Hyakkutake Kenkan and Narimatsu Nobukatsu rushed out of the house, and the air was filled with a damp and fishy smell.
They held the railing with their hands, watched the lightning in the sky, like a golden snake swimming away, the thunder roared, and then the wind worked, and the raindrops the size of beans "crackled" in an instant.
Between heaven and earth, in an instant, heavy rain poured.
"God help me." Bai Wu Xian and Cheng Song Xinsheng looked up to the sky and sighed.
Then Hyakuza Kenkan and Nari Matsu Nobukatsu turned their heads, and in the heavy rain, a large area of the Ashigaru of the Toe Imagawa family army who were on standby waved their hands and said murderously: "The iron cannon of the Suruga Imagawa family's army has become a pile of scrap iron at the moment, sons, follow me out of the battle, take down Ninomaru, and then kill Honmaru directly, and take down the heads of the generals of the Suruga Imagawa family." ”
"Oh!"
The Ashigaru of the Enoe-Imagawa family raised the tip of their guns and agreed loudly. Immediately, like a rolling torrent, the army of the Imagawa family of the Enoe family swarmed towards the castle of Sunfu Ninomaru......
