Chapter 58: Shimada Takayamada
But seeing that it was getting late, Gao Xianda knew that it was not a solution to drag on like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThey're going to have to take this down today.
So he told those who had been persuaded not to stop, but to continue shouting loudly as an attraction.
Some archers thought that the people outside were clamoring, so they wanted to shoot those who persuaded them to surrender to death. As a result, as soon as he showed up, he was shot back by Gao Xianda with a few arrows. Those archers did not dare to show their heads, which ensured the safety of those who persuaded them to surrender to the greatest extent.
Then he put the rest of the cavalry in line, not to let up, ready for a surprise attack. He crept into a stealth state, circled around the side of the stalk.
This stone was carefully built by the Oda family, and although it is a wooden structure, it is also relatively large, and it is not worse than a small castle.
The fortress can accommodate 500 people, so in the case of only a few dozen people, the arming is actually unable to take care of it so comprehensively. In the case that the enemy did not start the siege, it was impossible to let all these dozens of people stand on the wall.
Gao Xianda had a sonic boom to find the way, and soon found out the empty position of the other party, and then ran and climbed up the city with a bang.
The wall was only more than three meters high, much shorter than the Forbidden City. Gao Xianda's agility itself is not low, and coupled with the high-end sneakers of "Void Shuttle", climbing walls is naturally not a problem.
Gao Xianda climbed up without any skills, like a civet cat, without making any sound. Especially now that it's getting late, the loose sentinels on the wall didn't even notice Gao Xianda.
Gao Xianda was half the battle, so he continued to stealth, going all the way around the wall, picking up several archers along the way.
These defenders were already considered elite, and many of them were trained samurai, who were different from ordinary peasants in terms of standing posture and spirit. But for Cossant, there isn't much difference.
Gao Xianda fought steadily, touched them one by one, and the sneak ambush plus the back attack was four times the damage. With the high damage of the Iron Palm's base, a samurai who doesn't wear armor can't carry a palm at all.
Soon there was no one on the wall, and no one found him all the way. Gao Xianda gestured outside the wall, and then jumped in front of the gate.
Fortunately, the wooden barracks did not have the advanced mechanisms of a castle, and the gate was not hung up by a winch. Rather, it is an ordinary folding door with a large thick wooden deadbolt in the middle.
Gao Xianda jumped off the wall, dragged the thick wooden deadbolt up, and tossed it aside.
At this time, the garrison in the middle of the courtyard still found Gao Xianda, so he shouted: "What person! Then he rushed over with his weapon.
But it's too late.
After the bolt of the door was removed, Gao Xianda gently pulled, and the gate was opened, and the wolf-like cavalry troops behind the door had already been prepared, and as soon as they saw the gate open, they quickly rushed in.
There was no need for Gao Xianda to make a move, and these cavalry automatically rushed to the defenders in the barricade.
When the defenders saw this, they knew that the tide was turning. Many even chose to disarm and surrender directly.
Of course, some people chose to resist, and the cavalry very politely gave them an ending of dying on the battlefield.
However, there were still some samurai who were very close to the Shibata Katsu family, and they still refused to surrender, and they stayed outside a room, desperately not letting the soldiers of Gao Xianda rush in.
Their martial arts were very high, and there were cavalry that attacked, and they cut down two of them. The cavalry did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported to Gao Xianda.
There is no doubt that inside that house is Shibata Katsuie.
Gao Xianda waved his hand and asked his cavalry to suspend the attack, at this time, there was no need to increase unnecessary casualties.
Gao Xianda said loudly inside, "Lord Shibata! You're surrounded, and now it's just you and the five guards outside the door. Their martial arts are really good, but we can also pile them to death even if we use people. Are you willing to kill the five of them for no reason for the sake of your own life and death? ”
The leader of the five shouted, "My lord, don't surrender!" It is our glory to die for you! ”
There was silence inside for a while, and the door was opened, and Shibata Katsuya slowly walked out of it.
His shoulders were heavily bandaged, and it seemed that the injuries he had been stabbed were not light.
"Imagawa-sama, I lost. Don't resist, any of you. Shibata Katsuya waved his hand to soothe his personal bodyguard, and then said to Gao Xianda, "But I hope you can keep me a little samurai dignity and allow us to seppuku." ”
Gao Xianda hurriedly said, "Lord Shibata, what are you talking about?" If you ask for it, I will certainly accommodate you. But I have always admired you very much, you fought bravely, your tactics were ingenious, and if I hadn't relied on a little luck, I wouldn't have known how to win or lose this battle? Why don't you stay and serve our Imagawa family with a talent like you? ”
"Imagawa-sama is gracious." Shibata Katsuie's face was full of shame, "I have two thousand ashigaru under my command, and this sturdy fortress was wiped out in the face of 500 Imagawa-sama!" What else do you say about fighting bravely? What is the tactical ingenuity? I really admire Imagawa-sama's ability, and if it is your offer, I will naturally consider it. It's just that I, the Shibata family, have followed the Oda family for generations, and now the Oda family is the enemy of the Imagawa family, and I haven't turned my back on the lord's principle. ”
If he is really loyal to the Oda family, he can completely scold. Even if he is not given the opportunity to seppuku, he should fight to the death with Gao Xianda.
But he spoke so politely, and said that he could consider it, and he was clearly convinced by Gao Xianda. All he needed now was a step.
Gao Xianda said: "The goal of my Imagawa family is Shangluo, in order to protect the bloodline of the general's family, and for the righteousness of the world, not because of any grudge with the Oda family. So if the Oda family finally chooses to surrender, I'm sure we'll be one family soon! ”
Shibata Katsuie said: "Lord Nobunaga has the world in mind, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to submit. Unless you Imagawa family are fierce generals like you. ”
Gao Xianda knew that Shibata Katsuya was complimenting him. And Shibata Katsuie seems to have a lot of confidence in Oda Nobunaga. This time they were only a local war, and it was impossible for Shibata Katsuya to surrender directly when the final battle was not over.
But it was enough to have this intention, so Gao Xianda asked the cavalry to enter the fortress and strictly guard the soldiers who surrendered, and as for Shibata Katsuya, Gao Xianda did not shackle him, but entertained him as a valuable guest.
