The gates had fallen, much to the horror of the Okazaki garrison. They didn't know if they would be able to withstand such a fierce enemy when the city gates fell.

Three rounds of shelling have already destroyed all the courage of the Okazaki defenders.

Now, in the face of the Second Corps, which has already launched a charge, they have become simply not brave to fight.

The defenders at the head of the city have basically been crippled in the third round of artillery shelling just now. The Okazaki defenders, who were lucky enough to be reserves under the castle, were panicked at this time.

"Line up! Lined up! Prepare to meet the enemy, hold your weapons tightly, and don't panic! ”

Although the soldiers were very frightened, they still clenched their weapons in their hands amid the shouts of some generals, and then lined up.

After all, these samurai lords still have a great influence on them.

At the city gate, a group of more than 800 spear militiamen lined up, and then formed a spear formation here with a frightened expression.

The gate of Okazaki Castle is not large, and it can basically accommodate ten people in parallel.

Therefore, these hastily organized militiamen put their spears here, so much so that they really caused a lot of trouble to the charging Second Corps.

With such a large city gate, if there were too many people rushing in by the soldiers of the Second Corps, it would be useless at all, but it would occupy a limited space, and it would be difficult for them to even turn around.

However, if there were fewer people, they would really have no way to face the dense spear array. Before they could get closer, they were impaled through each other's spears and fell to the ground.

In this way, the soldiers of the 2nd Corps launched two or three charges, leaving the bodies of dozens of people behind and drove them out.

The Okazaki defenders inside the castle finally regained a little bit of morale after repelling the 2nd Corps.

Yo, it's not so scary to think of enemies.

Although I don't know what weapon they used just now, it looks very powerful. But just now there was a fight. It doesn't seem like the other party is that powerful.

You see, didn't they just leave behind the corpses in the ground now, and then retreat out of the land without any way.

Many militia members thought the same thing in their hearts after the Second Corps was repulsed.

At this time, Yuji Kawabe had already arrived with the First Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army and a thousand imperial infantry, and when he found that the Second Corps had been knocked out, he immediately rode over, raised the whip in his hand and whipped it a guy who was close to him.

Syllable!

This horsewhip is called a ruthless one.

"Why are you retreating! Have you been given the order to retreat? I really can't imagine that you dare to disobey orders on the battlefield, I don't think you want to live anymore. ”

In fact, Yuji Kawabe saw the battle at the city gate just now, and the reason why he still said this was just to scare and scare these people.

Sure enough, when those soldiers of the Second Corps who had withdrawn. After hearing Yuji Kawabe's words, they immediately cried and complained with a sad face: "My lord, it's not that we have to retreat, it's really that we have nothing to do." A guy who was elected by everyone to be the small leader of the Second Corps, at this time, he came over and defended Yuji Riverside.

"Humph! Whatever the reason, you should fight to the death without the order to retreat. ”

Yuji Kawabe narrowed his eyes and said in a very unkind tone.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives. Give us another chance. ”

This sentence really scared these guys, because they saw that the Imperial Army soldiers who were following Yuji Kawabe had already aimed the muzzle of their flintlock pistols at them, and Yuji Kawabe was about to kill them with a wave of his hand.

Faced with this situation. How could they not be afraid.

Of course, Yuji Kawabe was just scaring them, not actually trying to kill them.

After all, after a while to attack Okazaki Castle. The soldiers of the 2nd Corps also had to engage in street battles with the men and horses stationed at Okazaki Castle, so they were still very useful, weren't they?

"Get up, count yourself lucky. I'm in a good mood. But I remember all the mistakes you have just made, and you will be punished. But my lord has a great deal of it, and I am ready to give you a chance to atone for your sins. ”

Yuji Kawabe said to the soldiers of the Second Corps with a smug feeling in his heart.

"My lord, we are willing to atone for our sins, we are willing. Please give us a clear path and give us a chance. ”

Seeing that they didn't seem to be punished, these guys finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't get executed, then everything is fine.

The battle at the city gate just now, Yuji Kawabe saw it in his eyes, and he knew very well that it was very unwise to charge at a place as big as the city gate hole.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill the defending forces that are resisting there before they can enter Okazaki Castle smoothly.

At this time, the defenders of Okazaki Castle were basically wiped out, and the defenders here were not able to effectively organize their men to climb to the top of the castle in a short period of time, so this was a good opportunity for themselves.

"Imperial infantry out of line, check ammunition, shoot!"

Now, there is not much time left for them, so Yuji Kawabe must conquer the area near the city gate as soon as the defenders have not yet recovered their senses.

Otherwise, when the defenders come to their senses and organize new men and horses to go to the city, then they will be very threatening to themselves.

If nothing else, just by organizing a team of archers, they can cause a lot of losses to themselves.

So, Yuji Kawabe must not let such a thing happen.

Fortunately, the commander of the genetic soldier was very smart, and he didn't need Yuji Kawabe to command at all, so he made a judgment right away. That is to defeat or kill the Okazaki defenders on the other side of the city gate and solve this problem for everyone.

The opponent has no ranged attack weapons, some are only spears.

For the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army of the Second Corps and the First Corps, this spear formation is still very threatening.

However, for the soldiers of the Imperial Army, those on the other side were easy to solve.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was no need for five-stage shooting at all, and a thousand Imperial Army genetic soldiers, they walked to the city gate in groups of ten and then began to shoot at the opposite side, and then left to be filled by the people behind.

After more than a dozen rounds of reciprocation, the enemy on the opposite side could not hold on.

With a strange cry that I don't know who it is. The Okazaki defenders, who were defending on the other side of the gate, collapsed, and the soldiers dropped their weapons and fled backwards.

Seeing this, Yuji Kawabe hurriedly ordered to rush into Okazaki Castle, and then seized the defenses on the city walls, as well as the buildings near the city gates, and began to establish positions.

At this point, Okazaki Castle allowed the imperial army to enter in less than half an hour.

After entering Okazaki Castle, Tokugawa Kayo, who was in the rear, began to walk slowly with Hattori Kizo and the remaining 1,000 Imperial Army.

And Yuji Kawabe, who entered the city, began to use what he had told his men before. He spoke again to the soldiers of the Second Corps.

"Slay down the stubborn enemies in the city, and if you fight bravely, you will be rewarded. As I said, conquering Okazaki Castle will leave you to loot for a day, and if you want to get such a reward, then fight for it. ”

As soon as Yuji Riverside's words fell, the soldiers of the Second Corps, who were originally a little depressed and uneasy, immediately came to their senses.

Although they are also from Kyushu, what does it matter?

As long as you can grab money and rob girls. They don't care about that.

With a cheer, the soldiers of the Second Corps, whose eyes were full of desire, instantly rose with a flame of combat power, and then began to follow the straight street at the city gate without mobilization. Begin an assault on the city zone.

At this time, Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Onizo also walked in with a thousand Imperial Army.

"Miss, there are still many enemies in the city. So you can't go deeper. We're now in Okazaki Castle, but it's going to take a long time to clear the city of enemies. So please stop here, Miss. Let's wait until we catch Fujita's sophomore year of high school. ”

Yuji Kawabe walked up to Tokugawa Kayo and said to her.

Tokugawa Kayo nodded, of course she understood how dangerous Okazaki Castle was at this time, and she also knew that there were still many enemies in the castle at this time.

So, of course, she would have agreed to Yuji Kawabe's proposal.

You must know that now they have only defeated one of the four gates of Okazaki Castle, which means that there are still three defenders in Okazaki Castle, and the enemy of 10,000 people still exists.

If these enemies can't be eliminated, then this Okazaki Castle will still be dangerous for them.

"Miss, we, the Iga ninja, are going to start doing things now. I'll leave the frontal battlefield to Yuji-sama, and I'll immediately order the ninjas to deal with those generals in the city, as long as they are dealt with, those soldiers will not be able to form effective resistance, which is very beneficial for us to quickly occupy Okazaki Castle. ”

Hattori Kizo suggested to Tokugawa Yoshiyo at this time.

Of course, Tokugawa Kayo agreed to Hattori's proposal, and she was not a fool, of course, she knew that this matter was very beneficial to her side.

With the consent of Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Kizo immediately made arrangements.

More than 300 Iga ninja soldiers have disappeared one after another.

After a while, there were screams not far away, as well as the shouts of people and the sound of weapons clashing.

Of course, this could not be a movement made by the Iga ninjas, it is likely that the Second Corps has begun to make contact with the enemy and is fighting.

And if the ninjas had done it, they wouldn't have made such a big move.

"Miss, I'm going to start aiding the Second Corps with the First Corps now, and I'll also be taking a thousand Imperial Army, so Miss you must be careful here."

Yuji Kawabe took his leave, and he was going to pick up the men of the 2nd Corps, who had already started a battle with the enemy. After all, this second corps is a little worse than each other in terms of equipment and their fighting spirit.

And there are a lot of enemies in the city.

Without the support of their own new force and the Imperial Army, which had sharp weapons, they would not have been able to hold out for a long time.

You must know that the Second Corps also uses cold weapons, and their numbers are still very small.

After saying that, Yuji Kawabe left with his first corps and a thousand imperial troops.

When Yuji Kawabe left, Tokugawa Kayo chatted with Hattori Kizo.

"I didn't think it would take a long time for us to conquer Okazaki Castle, but to my surprise, we were already inside Okazaki Castle in less than an hour."

Thinking about what he had experienced, Tokugawa Kayo looked as if he was still in a dream, and he couldn't believe what he had seen and experienced.

When Hattori heard this, he replied, "Miss, in fact, these are all because of those artillery." These cannons were so powerful and lethal that if it weren't for the guns that destroyed the gates, it would have been very difficult for us to enter Okazaki Castle. Especially the defenders who were stationed at the city gate just now, just dealing with them will have to pay a lot of price. ”

Hattori Kizo had been watching the battle unfold, so he didn't let go of anything that had happened.

For example, when the Imperial Army did not make a move, the fierce battle between the Second Corps and the defenders near the city gate gave him a number in his mind.

At that time, the Second Corps charged three times, but it did not shake the opposing position at all, and it itself paid a lot of price.

The terrain at the gate was very narrow, which was not conducive to the charge of the army. It's such a terrain that the enemy, if the soldiers are well-trained, can even wipe out these people without hurry.

It is precisely because the city gate is very narrow that the corpse alone can become a trouble to block the advance.

If there were no Imperial Army, it would be impossible for them to rush in with more than 3,000 people just by relying on the cold weapon troops to launch a charge and a hard attack.

The other party's dense spear was up, and how many people died by himself.

Thanks to the Imperial Army's intervention, a volley of guns passed, and the defenders with spears on the opposite side were routed.

Otherwise, it is obviously unlikely that they want to enter Okazaki City so smoothly.

Even if he can finally get in, he doesn't know how much he will have to pay for it.

This shows how terrible the weapons of the Imperial Army were.

If the army of the Song Empire is equipped with weapons of such power, then the evaluation of the Song Empire will be much higher.

For a powerful empire like this, you definitely have to hold your thighs well.

Of course, this is Hattori's personal opinion.

As for Tokugawa Kayo, what she thinks about is how to let the Tokugawa family gain a foothold in Kyushu, and she can be regarded as fulfilling her wish after doing all this.

"Miss, I think that when you take control of the Miyazaki area, you should think about how to contact the crown prince. For the sake of the future of the Tokugawa family, I wonder if you are ......"

Hattori Hidezo pondered and said something to Tokugawa Kayo. (To be continued......)
