After stationing under the castle of Shinki Castle, Masarashi did not rush to attack immediately, but first took control of the castle town, and then imposed martial law on all nearby places. At noon, two groups of people from Tianye Tail Castle and Wanheli Castle also arrived one after another. Nearly 200 Luo family troops surrounded Xinmu City, and a big battle was about to break out.

In the main tent under the new wood castle, everyone gathered together.

"What's going on along the road over there?" Masarashi looked at the subordinates of the tent, Heisa Masataka, and Kosuke asked.

"Your Highness, as soon as the troops of this family crossed the Wanga River, before the official battle, the guards on the other side's border fled, and His Majesty just chased after him a little, and immediately continued to march this way, and it can be said that there is no obstacle along the way" Kosuke first reported.

"The situation is the same on His Majesty's side, presumably the main ones responsible for guarding the border are some forcibly conscripted peasant soldiers, who are not willing to do these coolies at the critical juncture of the autumn harvest, and now the Uekura family has given them an excuse to escape," said Heisa Masatada.

"Well, it looks like so far so good. In addition, is there a better way for everyone to do this cage city? Masara continued to ask.

"Your Highness, the other party's castle is built on a hill, I'm afraid there is only a way to forcibly cage the city," Kosuke shook his head and said. According to past experience, there is only one way to attack the city by using crowd tactics.

"Your Highness, why don't you follow the example you did last time you captured Tianye Tail Castle and attack at night?" Hirazo Masataka suggested after thinking about it.

"Lord Masatada, the last time His Highness was able to climb the earthen wall and enter the city while the other party was defenseless, and now the Uekura family is waiting for it, this method seems to be unfeasible, and once it fails, it will be a big blow to morale", Kosuke immediately shook his head and objected, "It is better to follow the method of His Highness to capture Sayama Castle last time, and after nightfall, he repeatedly harass the other party, and finally falls down in one fell swoop." ”

"This seems to be a feasible solution," Masadashi Heizo agreed.

"No, we're going to take down Shinki Castle this afternoon," Masato vetoed with a wave of his hand.

"Huh?" The two retainers below were stunned by the decision of the head of the household. They had never seen a well-guarded mountain city in half a day. Is this possible?

"Although the people in the territory of the Kamikura family are boiling, there will always be some die-hard lords, and there are also those pirates, these people should be able to arrive one after another in the afternoon, and then the family will not have enough energy to deal with these people at the same time, so it is necessary to capture Xinmu City before these people arrive. Those methods just now need to wait until the evening to be implemented, and the time is obviously not allowed," Zhengliang made a slight analysis.

"Your Highness, forcibly cage the city, with the current strength of the family, it seems to be a little difficult," Heizo Masadashi tactfully admonished. The Luo family's standing troops were not much, and once they were damaged too much in this siege, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Hehe, I've already thought of a way" Masarashi smiled slightly, and then shouted, "Suddenly! ”

"Your Highness," the person outside the tent immediately bowed down and entered the tent.

"Are you ready?" Masara asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, it has been prepared according to your orders." Suddenly, he replied.

"Your Highness, this..."Kosuke and Hirasa Masataka looked confused.

"Ha Lu Haha, you will know Lu Dao later" Zhengliang did not analyze it positively, and continued to instruct, "You go down and immediately arrange for the personnel to have a full meal, and after lunch, we will immediately attack the city." ”

"Yes, Your Highness" Since the head of the family has no intention of explaining it now, the retainers have no choice but to act according to the order.

At noon, the sun was shining, and although it was about to enter September, the temperature was still high. Wearing a polished belly roll, Masashi was also sweating profusely. …,

"Archers, prepare," Masarashi ordered to the archers lined up in several groups, "shoot!" ”

With Masayo's order, long arrows shot like a drizzle into the Shinki Castle above, and the guards on the earthen wall immediately hid under the earthen wall to avoid being shot.

"Fire oil, up" Seeing that the guards on the opponent's earthen wall were suppressed by bows and arrows, Masara immediately gave a second order. Several ashigaru, holding wooden planks borrowed from nearby machino, immediately walked briskly towards the gate of Shinki Castle.

"They're attacking the castle, quick, stop them," Yuno Uekura, who was standing in the castle tower, immediately shouted when he saw this. A samurai behind him immediately turned around and ran downstairs.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."The guards who received the order immediately risked being hit by arrows from the city, and kept shooting arrows at the Luo family's troops who were approaching the city gate. The arrows struck the planks with a striking sound.

"Archer, don't worry about the loss of arrows, shoot me hard," Masarashi immediately ordered. It is necessary to suppress the attack on the city at all costs. Dozens of archers were ordered to shoot arrows at the city without stopping, once again scaring the defenders back under the earthen walls.

"No, the gate is on fire, get water to extinguish it," exclaimed one of the samurai near the gate. It turned out that several ashigaru members of the Luo family finally arrived at the city gate, and according to Masaliang's instructions, poured half a barrel of fire oil, which had been closely guarded, on the wooden and iron city gate, and finally lit the fire oil.

With a "bang", the lower part of the entire city gate was immediately surrounded by everyone, and the Luo family, who was in charge of lighting the fire, even burned his eyebrows by the fire that was strung together.

"Quick, quick, douse it," shouted the samurai on the other side of the gate. Several buckets of water were immediately poured on the burning city gates. But the fire seems to have abated only slightly, but shows no signs of extinguishing at all. The samurai of the Kamikura family, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, panicked and immediately took the lead in continuing to pour water on the city gate.

Masaliang, who was closely watching the movement in the direction of the city gate, smiled slightly when he saw this. This way of extinguishing the fire is futile, you must know that this is a fire oil that can burn on the surface of the sea, so easy to extinguish? What's more, how effective is it to water on the other side of the city gate now?

"Siege team, let's go" Seeing that the city gate had been burning for a while, the best time for the political conscience to attack the city had come, and he immediately ordered.

Several ashigaru, who were fully dressed, immediately lifted a log and rushed towards the city gate.

"The archers continue to shoot arrows, don't let them poke their heads out," Masarashi continued to order.

"Ah, what's that?" At this time, the Uekura family, who was in charge of extinguishing the fire at the city gate, was already panicking. Anyone who sees a fire that no matter how much you water it, it seems that it cannot be completely extinguished, will be alarmed.

"Knock, knock, knock..."At this time, the siege team of the Luo family outside the city had already begun to hit the city gate with logs.

"Quick, find something to block the castle gate" Seeing that the fire at the castle gate could not be extinguished, Kamikura Yuno had to come down from the castle tower to personally command.

As soon as the words of Shangcang Yuno fell, the badly burned city gate was finally overwhelmed and collapsed, revealing a hollow exit that led straight out of the city.

"Fire extinguishing" had already prepared a few Luo family outside the city gate, and immediately pushed some dirt onto the ground that was still burning. "Kill" Pingzuo Zhengzhong, who had already been ready under the city, shouted, and led the Luo family's troops to kill at the city gate.
