Chapter 29: Agni

Woo~Woo~Woo~

The sound of the conch horn resounded one after another in the mountains, and the frightened birds rushed into the sky; Banner after shot of various colors appeared in the eyes of the defenders of Catjiang City.

"That's?"

"It's the enemy coming! Enemy attack! ”

Ding Ding Ding ~

The sound of the gong siren spread throughout the castle, and the samurai woke up Ashigaru, who was still sleeping, and many people climbed onto the samurai ariwa flat oar.

"Where's the Iron Artillery Team! Fast! ”

The Iron Artillery Corps, which had been recuperating and recuperating, was completely different from the spirit of the other Ashigaru peasant soldiers, and they quickly and orderly entered the battle position, quickly lighting the long fire rope;

Behind each of them there were also small ones who specially changed their charges and ammunition, and they also had iron cannons in their hands, just to shoot quickly and continuously; Inflicting maximum damage on the enemy in a limited amount of time was something they learned after suffering losses at the hands of the Oda Iron Artillery Corps.

At this time, a group of Oda troops appeared on the surrounding hillside, Katsuhisa had already taken the place of Gamo Kenhide, and more than 200 Gamo troops were arranged on the right side of Ota Ushiichi's bow team, and it was obvious that Niwa Nagahide knew that the morale of the defeated Gamo army was low and could no longer serve as the main attack with other friendly forces.

Niwa Nagahide's main formation of 300 people also moved to Hade Mountain, and the 1,000 elites led by Akechi Mitsuhide set up a formation in the mountain pass, facing the main gate of Catie Castle.

With the envoys of various banners coming to Niwa Nagahide's main camp, the 7,000 Oda army completed the siege of the main roads of Catie Castle.

Katsuhisa and the retainers observed the city defense of Catie City, and Shikanosuke shook his head after careful observation:

"There are too many trenches, I don't know how many people will have to fill them."

The Hukou of Catjiang City is surrounded by water canals, and there are three trenches and earthen mounds covered with spikes outside the Hukou, and there are makeshift wooden houses behind each floor, which seem to be ready to be garrisoned for a long time, and the road to attack is compressed by the surrounding hills so narrow that the army cannot be used at all, and the other roads should be the same.

"This city should not be stormed, and the siege is the best policy."

Katsuhisa agreed with Shikanosuke's words, and then he thought of something and asked him:

"How does Tsukiyama Tomita Castle compare?"

Shikanosuke was a little surprised, how could this Catie Castle be compared with Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which had been run by the Nizi family for several generations, but he also knew that Katsuhisa should have never seen Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, so he replied proudly:

"More than ten times stronger than it, two no maru and three no maru are surrounded by moats, there are many two and three turrets on the stone wall, the main pill Ishigaki is tall and strong, even if the two no pills and three no pills fall, as long as there are a hundred people to ensure that this pill does not fall, plus the various defenses under the city out of the city, it can accommodate tens of thousands of defenders, this is the city where the sky does not fall."

Evil Hachiro looked at Kanosuke's somewhat triumphant expression, and asked with a wicked smile:

"The city that never falls, why was it broken by the Maori family?"

“………”

Shikanosuke was speechless for a while, this bastard Hachiro can't open which pot.

Hirano Kabei, who was beside Shikanosuke, said with a sad face:

"Because of the war of soldiers and food, no one could storm the city of Yueshan Tomita, our army was 15,000 people at that time to hold the city, the need for soldiers and food was huge, the Maori army broke through the White Deer City, and our naval army was completely wiped out in the sea outside the United States Guard, and the food from the sea was cut off;

The Maori army attacked from all sides, and the rations from Boqi could not be imported into the city, and the army was starved to death in the city, and finally had no choice but to open the city and surrender......"

Hirano Kabei can still recall the feeling of hunger, the rats, insects, bark and grass roots in the city have been gnawed away, but the hateful Maori army has set up a large pot of rice under the city, and some samurai have rushed out desperately, and there is no way back; There are also people who choose to cut their stomachs in disgrace, and women rush to jump the city in order to leave the only food for the men; And many more chose to drop their weapons and surrender to the Maori army.

Thinking of the tragic situation at that time, Hirano's eyes were wet with tears; Katsuhisa's hand was on his shoulder and comforted:

"I'll get this account back from the Maori family."

Hirano nodded, and then asked Katsuhisa:

"If I can really defeat the Maori family, Kabei has a request, let me kill Yoshihisa Niko with my own hands."

When the surrounding Nizi retainers heard this, some were shocked, some agreed, and some were silent; The expressions varied.

Katsuhisa didn't answer directly, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he needed to know who could use it and who couldn't reuse it among the old ministers of Nizi; Katsuhisa patted Hirano on the shoulder and didn't answer.

Katsuhisa looked at the battlefield lined with battle flags and spears, and the war began......

Woo~Woo~Woo~

Eh, oh~eh, oh~

The battle cry sounded as the horn of the attack sounded, Akechi Mitsuhide fired the first shot of the attack, the ashigaru men in the front row carried bamboo bundles and large trees and slowly approached the trench, the iron artillery team marched in a neat pace under the command of the samurai, Ota Nishiichi's bow team followed, and then the pike, due to the terrain restrictions, the entire attack team was divided into five sections.

The Gamo army under the command of Katsuhisa did not receive the order to attack, and many people expressed their anger, and Niwa Nagahide looked down on people too much.

With the sound of a huge iron cannon resounding through the battlefield, the iron cannons of the Hexagonal Army all opened fire, and due to the long distance, they did not cause any damage to the advancing Oda army.

"I've told you to get closer and then fight."

"I'm nervous!"

"Idiot!"

The iron artillery team of the Hexagonal Army hurriedly changed into the iron cannon with ammunition and fuse, and got ready again.

Wise Mitsuhide looked at the crowd behind the crowd, sneered and ordered:

"Iron Artillery Attack!"

"Oh!"

The iron artillery team rushed out from the big and bamboo bundles, and the three rows of iron cannons attacked in order! The archers also made throws from behind.

Bang bang bang......

Yes!

"My eyes!"

"Ahh Help me~"

The hexagonal army guarding Tulei behind the trench was beaten so that it could not raise its head.

There were samurai who scolded the ashigaru peasants who were running around, and there were also samurai who ordered bows and arrows to return fire.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wise Mitsuhide hurriedly shouted:

"Spear attack!"

"Oh!"

Although Mitsuhide ordered the spear team, many of them did not charge with spears, but instead carried planks and bamboo ladders;

I saw that they quickly covered the wooden planks over the trenches, and the bamboo ladders were set up on the earthen leans, because the Hexagonal Army had limited archers outside the city, and the precious iron cannons were on the city, so they could not stop these people.

The Oda family's gunashigaru stepped across the trench under the leadership of the samurai and began to engage the defenders inside the wall, and it was obvious that this tall earth was unable to stop the Oda army who were desperately attacking.

Wise Hideman and Saito Toshizo bravely climbed over the earth, and Hideman was not afraid of the peasant soldiers who surrounded him and shouted like a threat:

"I am the left horse to help Xiuman, an immortal and nameless person under the knife, who dares to fight."

This arrogant remark was heard by a roxagonal samurai who was originally fighting elsewhere, and he slashed down an Oda Ashigaru with a knife and shouted as he ran:

"Hayato, the son of Tsunashi Kada, is coming to ask for advice."

"Just in time."

Akechi Hideman swung his knife forward, and Momoda Moritsuna blocked Hideman's blow, and the two looked at each other, and both pressed their knives hard against each other.

Xiuman pushed hard, and then a side split was dodged by the guard, and the two of them attacked back and forth, making the surrounding peasants and soldiers disperse in surprise.

Just when Shougang saw the opportunity to slash at the neck, Xiuman resisted with a horizontal knife, and the blade slowly approached his neck under Shougang's force, and at this moment, Xiuman took the opportunity to pull out the short blade on his waist and stabbed it into the gap between the armor leaves on Shougang's waist.

The pain was so great that Shoutsunade could no longer suppress Hidemitsu, and Hideman fell to the ground with a hard kick, and as he struggled to get up, Hideman's knife stabbed him in the throat.

Yes!

The death of his own samurai made the surrounding Rokkaku family shiver with fright.

Akechi Mitsuhide cut off the head of Megada Moritsuna, raised it above his head and shouted:

"The head of Hayato is guarding the gang has been taken by my wise left horse suke, kill it!"

"Oh!"

The morale of the Oda army was greatly boosted, and Saito Rizo also rushed bravely to the Hexagonal Army when he saw this, but he couldn't lose to this guy Zuomasuke.

The Oda army devoured all obstacles to the tiger's mouth like a long dragon, but they didn't notice the piles of dry wood in each earthen pile.

Niwa Nagahide Honjin:

"General Qiyu, the wise team breaks through the first section of the tiger's mouth."

"General Qiqi, the wise team has broken through the second stage of the tiger's mouth."

"General Kaiyu, the Ikeda team is attacking the Castle Side."

"General Kaiyu, the Inaba team is attacking Daewookou."

Niwa Nagahide stood up and shouted excitedly:

"Well, go and motivate the armies at once, and this battle will be won."

"Oh!"

Akechi Mitsuhide received an order from Niwa Nagahide to let him capture the tiger's mouth in one go, but Mitsuhide had some doubts, would Akee Sadakei let him approach the castle so easily?

Although there were some doubts, they did desperately break the enemy's two trenches, and they could only fight anyway.

"Order, the whole army attack!"

"Oh!"

The last two hundred people of Mitsuhide were also sent, but the flow of people for this attack was too long.

A few piercing arrows pierced the sky and fell steadily into the earth that had been occupied by the Oda army, and the fire suddenly rose.

Poof~boom~

"Ahh Fire. ”

"It's not good, it's fire oil."

"I've been tricked, get out of here."

"Help!"

The fire of Tulei cut off the attacking Oda, and even the trench was full of fire oil, and the wooden planks built by Oda's army were also engulfed by the fire, and Oda, who was still reinforcing behind, also exclaimed in surprise and did not dare to step forward.

At this moment, several people in the Oda army shouted:

"Run! The front is defeated, and the Hexagon Army is coming! ”

"Run! Our army was defeated. ”

"Who's the bastard who is bewitching the hearts of the army?"

The samurai tried desperately to maintain order in the hearts of the army, but under the leadership of those people, some people kept running backwards, and then a great rout followed, and weapons and banners were thrown to the ground.

At this moment, Takashi Akai came out of nowhere with more than 100 people, and began to desperately chase down the defeated Oda army, looking at many of them in clothes.

And those who fanned the flames in Oda's uniforms also disappeared in the chaos.

Wise Mitsuhide looked at the fire in front of him painfully, and closed his eyes in pain:

"It's over, it's over, it's all over."

"Adults, let's go! Adult"

Akechi Mitsuhide took one last look at the raging flames, and then retreated.

Katsuhisa and the others also looked at the fire with shocked expressions, and Shikanosuke sighed:

"Fire meter! The enemy has a good plan. ”

"The Oda Army has suffered heavy casualties this time."

Katsuhisa was silent, and just as he was thinking about how to break the city, an envoy came to his front.

"Lord Nizi, the general has ordered your army to attack immediately and respond to Lord Wise."

"Katsuhisa Order!"
