Shaotian looked forward to Shenfei, saw his uncle Fu and cheered up, looked at the Imagawa army on the other side of the Yuming River and said, "I just entered the enemy camp to investigate, although the Imagawa military camp is stable, but the defenders are weak, most of the armor soldiers are incomplete, if the Imagawa army is like this, then before the siege of Taihei Temple, Murakami Yulin hurriedly retreated is a little too cautious!" ”

After yesterday's battle, Shoda Tsunekisuke quite agrees with this, if he is worried that the Imagawa army will come to the rescue, and if the soldiers and horses will be damaged in a rash battle, only withdraw the small number of wild ambush troops, and the 2,000 people besieging Taihei Temple do not need to leave in a hurry, as long as the army of this team follows up, they can force the reinforcements of Kurita Castle, and even take this opportunity to lay an ambush and completely annihilate the last army of Imagawa and Takeda.

At that time, Takeda Shingen only had the share of fleeing for his life in a hurry, and how could he build a city in Haijin, so that the Echigo army fell into today's dilemma, in the final analysis, it was the group of Ueda people led by Nagao Masaki who were selfish, called cautious, but in fact they were self-respecting, and they couldn't help hating this group of traitors and villains who were greedy for their own merits.

At this moment, the fog does not dissipate, but thickens and thickens, which is also unique to the weather surrounded by mountains in Shinano Province.

Three ox carts marched in front and back, the drivers with torches were like sparks floating in the twilight night sky, and a dozen stubborn bannermen were standing ready, and the Imagawa army was densely arranged, and the neat array was ready to resist a surprise attack that the other side might launch.

The native dogs guarding the camp have a keen sense of smell, can smell the smell of fire oil that ordinary people cannot detect, and keep scurrying back and forth anxiously, pulling the chains and making a loud noise.

The person in charge of guarding the camp gate was also replaced by the more stable Kitazhuang Manjiro, while Hasegawa Hayabusa and Ono Tadaaki led two groups of miscellaneous soldiers respectively, guarding both sides, and as long as there was a slight change in the arrivals, they would rush up and take them down.

Seeing the earth dog unusually restless, and then looking at the ox cart that was getting closer and closer, thinking of the torch held high, an unlikely idea flashed in my mind!

Gao Shisheng's complexion changed greatly, and he shouted in a lost voice, "It's not good! Spread out! ”

··········

The neighing of outsiders at Taiheiji Temple led the resurgence of the Murakami army to form up again and officially launch another siege, with thousands of Ashigaru shouting and rushing to the temple built on the high ground under the leadership of the samurai. Inside and outside the temple, flags fluttered, iron cannons thundered, rolling wood and stones were thrown, and the wood and stones thrown by the stone generator fell on each other's heads with a roar.

The strong bow shoots hard, and the arrows are like locusts.

During the Warring States period, the arrows equipped by the army were mostly thin and long, with strong penetrating ability, except for the arrows that frightened the enemy. The shaft of the arrow, which is nearly one meter long, can easily penetrate the abdomen and shoot the soldiers who cannot be evaded by the enemy and the enemy within the distance of the firing range, and the arrow is shot into the human body, making a muffled sound of "poof".

Just as the fierce bull is called, Murakami Yoshikiyo did not even tentatively cover the attack, the attendants under the watchtower waved the horse seal flag, urged the drum, and blew the conch, and the shouts of a team of soldiers were earth-shattering, braving the rain and arrows, and launched an overwhelming attack on the weak point of the mountain temple.

Fujido Tiger stood with his gun high, and there was a walking envoy by his side, and in the direction of Murakami's army's strong attack, he frequently shot out a sound of the hammer, reminding the defending soldiers of the key positions to defend.

An arrow shot from under the temple gate was so powerful that it should have been shot from a strong bow, and it swept past Fujido Toraka's cheek, piercing deep into the guard plate of Yakura's moat. The flags of the surrounding guards were shocked into a cold sweat, according to the military law of the Takeda family, the main general was killed, and the flags who served as guards were all killed.

And Fujitang Tiger is high, facing the arrows like locusts, he didn't even blink his eyes.

········

When Gao Shisheng stopped drinking, the three burning ox carts had already rolled up the overwhelming smoke and dust, and rushed towards the camp, but they used the fire ox carts to rush into battle, which made people jaw-dropping and at a loss.

Two oxen pulled a cart, and three people stood on each cart, except for one who drove the cart, and two people lined up on the left and right, each holding a spear and a sword hanging from his waist.

On the other side of the river, the war drums suddenly thundered, and three ox carts followed the drums and galloped along the wide dirt road in front of the Yuanmen, and rushed straight to the Imagawa military camp.

"This, this ······"

The method of car warfare, in Akijin can be described as unheard of, only in the Han ancient books to see records, it is known that it is a method of warfare that prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the military advisor of the Takeda family, Sanada Yutaka in the past Ueno, also used a fire ox to break the enemy, but that was in the field, not in the camp.

I never thought that Shao Tian would use it to learn from the high school, and imitate Tian Xinglong's old plan, and use the fire ox to crash through the camp of the Imagawa army, which was really shocking, so that Gao Shisheng was speechless, and in a few doubtful dreams, fortunately, he quickly woke up, and hurriedly scolded the soldiers to scatter on both sides of the gate.

The sound of war drums and cow cries resounded through the heavens and the earth. The ox carts lined up, broke through the simple wooden fence of the gate, and ran separately.

The running speed of the ox cannot be compared with that of the war horse, but the short sprint is still very fast, breaking into the camp and rampage, knocking a guard who can't dodge the gate directly to the ground, and then the ox does not stop and tramples over the opponent's body.

Even the oxen and cart weighed thousands of pounds, and the wounded miscellaneous soldiers couldn't move, watching the ox's hooves step on his thighs, accompanied by a crisp sound of "click", the leg bones were directly stepped on, and he let out a miserable wail.

Before the cry was over, the rolling wheels ran over him mercilessly, and bright red blood splattered everywhere on the dead soldiers who were driving, and the screams came to an abrupt end, leaving only a corpse ravaged to the point of misery.

This way of death is too tragic, most of the miscellaneous soldiers of the Imagawa army are from homeless people, and they are frightened to see it, if it is not for the early order, most of the soldiers have dispersed in time, hiding behind the wooden fence, and it is estimated that they have been directly hit by the ox cart at this time.

Rao is like this, Gao Shisheng saw the scene of the ox cart galloping, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, regretting why he was greedy for saving trouble, in order to facilitate the formation of guns, he left the road in front of the camp gate so wide, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.

Gao Shisheng and others also thought that it would be a banner pretending to be an escort to seize the door, and then respond to the attack of the large army of the Echigo army, but it was also really a fire bull rushing into battle, this method of battle was too difficult to guess, and it was not used in field battles, but to rush the camp, which was really unexpected.

The three fiery ox carts also seemed to be swept away by the wind, and they were rampant in the narrow barracks. The heavy wheezing of the bull, the reddened eyes, and the galloping muscles all caused great consternation to the defenders in the camp.

The dead soldiers on the ox carts kept throwing torches at all parts of the camp, setting the tents on fire, trying to cause more chaos, or drawing their guns to assassinate the fleeing miscellaneous soldiers.

When it was time to turn to avoid blocking the road, an ox cart hit a spear that fell to the ground, although the rider was bold, but in the end it was not enough training, in the fast movement, unable to maintain the balance of the body, one side of the wheel cocked, staggered to slow down.

Mitsuhide Naito took the opportunity to shoot a bow and shoot an arrow, killing the driver directly, slumping on the car, losing his control of the ox cart immediately overturned overturned, with the ox and people, the weight of thousands of pounds fell to the ground, smashed out the diffuse fireworks, snow and dust, rolled and overturned, and hit several fences and camp tents one after another, and the pole wood was folded for a while.

The dead soldiers of the other two ox carts, seeing that the road was not quiet, simply jumped out of the cart and fled, as soon as they landed, before they could get up from rolling, they were stabbed to death by random guns, the enemy soldiers were easy to kill, and it was difficult to subdue the bulls.

The two trains were running through the camp in fright. It was too late to dodge, where someone stepped forward to stop it, and climbed up the high slope one after another, Gao Shisheng hurriedly let people shoot with arrows.

Fortunately, the archers and the iron cannon were standing on the high slope, and the ox cart could not rush up, and the ploughing cow had rough skin and thick meat, and it was difficult to kill with an arrow, and the injured ox became more and more violent, and it hit two half circles before it pressed into something unknown, and the cart overturned.

The Echigo army that followed behind saw that the dead soldiers had succeeded and destroyed all the enemy camps, so they wanted to launch a rush attack, but they did not dare to step forward because they were afraid of the fire ox, and now the car was destroyed and the cattle were dead, so they took the initiative to seize the fighter plane and rushed to the camp.

The archers on the low slopes, who had been waiting for a long time, stretched out their arms and shot at the sky.

The former captain of the Echigo army immediately lowered his body, raised his pendant, and protected his companions while covering himself. It was like a sparse raindrop, hitting the eaves, most of them fell on it, and only the heavy arrows shot by Mitsuhide Naito and Gao Shisheng pierced through the gap between the long and beam grates, and accurately hit the soldiers behind the trees.

One was shot in the arm, and the other was even more unlucky and was pierced in the neck.

After the first wave of arrows, the enemy was deliberately placed close before the iron cannon was fired. Because of the closer the distance, the iron cannon is more lethal. Many of them were shattered by lead bullets, and several soldiers holding their hands were scratched by the broken wood, and blood flowed everywhere, but no one complained of pain, let alone threw down them.

"My lord, how will the enemy army deal with it!"

"Defend against the enemy!" Gao Shisheng had never seen this kind of battle, and suddenly, he couldn't think of a way. Since I can't think of a way, I will follow the usual training method, use a gun to resist the enemy, and stabilize my position first.

Fortunately, most of the miscellaneous soldiers took refuge far away before the ox cart rushed in, and at this time, according to the sound of the taiko drums, under the restraint of the samurai, they hurriedly gathered behind the wooden fence that had not yet been destroyed by the ox cart, and lined up with guns.

The long cannons can defend against arrows and iron cannons, but they can't stop the rolling logs that fall down from the low slope at all, and more than a dozen rolling logs with thick bowls and inlaid with iron nails fall down, and they suddenly swept to the front of a group of soldiers, causing a lot of trouble to the attack of the Echigo army. But it was only a little trouble, and the rolling logs soon stopped, and the Echigo army rushed to the front.

The seasoned banner was always ready, and gradually slowed down at the beginning of the charge, allowing the miscellaneous soldiers who were carried away by blood to take the lead first. The miscellaneous soldiers at the front had already rushed to within twenty paces, brandishing swords and guns, tattered armor, and wide open mouths that did not know whether to shout or curse, not at all like the cowardice of yesterday.

Short soldiers protect the sides, and the spears are on top.

The two armies held up their palms like mud and rocks, and as if a river burst its banks, and the front flag team used all their strength to rush together, and the back half knelt on the ground, wrestling with each other, and at the same time, the sickle spears several meters long behind them also pierced through the holes on the shield.

The shouting of killing makes people feel discolored.

·········

As far as the eye can see, under Taihei Temple, the soldiers of the Murakami who are besieging are boundless, dozens of long ladders are erected on the wall, and the brave samurai wearing large armor open the way, and the main force of the siege is Ashigaru, which follows.

Hundreds of Murakami soldiers climbed the high courtyard wall. Behind him is the Mutofu team sent by the general of the whole army, Murakami Yoshikiyo, eyeing the tiger; In front of him, Rulin's spear kept pumping and stabbing, and almost every moment there were attacking soldiers falling from the long ladder and courtyard wall, and rolling down the mountain road along the royal road in front of the torii.

The huge casualties have completely plunged both sides into madness. Far from slowing down, the offensive of Murakami's army was several times more fierce than the last siege, and the Takeda army could hardly parry.

Murakami Yoshikiyo has led his troops across Shinano for many years, so he naturally saw the purpose of the Kurita Castle Takeda Army to set up a peripheral camp and defend it to the death. Thousands of troops are trapped under the city, and as time goes by, the army will be exhausted. There are still thousands of Takeda troops in Kurita Castle ready to go, and the military strength is exhausted, let alone defeat the enemy, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even protect themselves at that time.

Therefore, he sent a team of horses to supervise the battle and supervise the formation, urging the soldiers to fight to the death.

From the perspective of the tendency to attack quickly, Murakami Yoshikiyo shares the same opinion as Shoda Tsunekisuke, and is very dissatisfied with Nagao Masaki's procrastination, although he does not think that the Ueda people are raising self-respect, but the practice of preserving strength is obvious to all. In fact, it is not surprising, after all, the Ueda people are far away in Echigo, and there is no actual territorial conflict with the Takeda family, so they are not as eager as the wealthy families of the Northern Shinano family to repel the Takeda army and recapture the castle.

As for the Echigo army in the county, there were mainly two types of Echigo soldiers and Shinano soldiers, and when there were differences of opinion in the army, it was naturally easy to cause estrangement, and the established strategy would be deviated or even impossible to implement at all.

Therefore, this time the two sides divided their troops and moved, Nagao Masaki continued to ambush possible reinforcements, and Murakami Yoshikiyo was responsible for besieging Taihei Temple again, since these camps were in the way and could not fight a decisive battle, then simply turned the virtual into reality, and preemptively conquered Taihei Temple and other camps one by one, and directly attacked Kurita Castle.

The reason why Murakami Yoshikiyo stopped his troops for many days was precisely to make long ladders, stone machines and other equipment used in the siege, and at this time the use of equipment to besiege immediately did twice the result with half the effort, especially the dozen or so stone machines placed outside the temple, after being concentrated in one place, they violently bombarded the Yakura that was temporarily erected against the high wall of the temple.

The flint burst out, and the smoke obscured the eyes.

Every time an iron cannon sounds, it is earth-shattering. Even the stones and pei jade thrown by the stone machine, if the number of throws before and after is added to one place, not counting the one that hits the courtyard wall and Yakura, even if it only falls into the temple, it is enough for the Murakami army outside the temple to rush to the courtyard wall on the stone mill and fight head-on with the Takeda army defenders, so you can imagine how far the meditation room and Buddhist hall in the temple will be destroyed.

Fujido Tiger is worthy of the name of bravery, even if the flying stone almost hit the Yakura where he was many times, he still did not leave the front line half a step, constantly mobilizing reserves, going to dangerous areas, to contain the offensive of the Murakami army, or mobilizing the formation of the formation, braving the arrows, to urgently fill the gap in the temple wall that was thrown by stones and the cracking of Pei Branded Jade.

And Jing Yi Naoqin was even more straightforward, personally wearing armor and leading the team to fight with the Murakami army who kept climbing over the wall, and commanded dozens of flags to cut down a team of Murakami troops who broke into the west chamber.
