Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Tiger Comes Out of the Wheel of the Yaksha (II)

The Mufu team next to him stepped forward and cut off the head with a knife and raised it high with a banner. The surrounding ashigaru cheered in unison, and the morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing that the row of forked wood could not work regardless of urgency, Shimazaki Keishinobu issued another order to have the yaksha shackled and placed on the head of the yaksha.

Lux shouted, turned the winch wheel, raised the strong and thick wood, and smashed it the ladder, the solid wood was nailed with anti-whisker blades, specially used to crush the enemies of the ants and besieged the city, and pulled up and fell, which can make people feel like they are buried in the mouth of the Yaksha ghost, and there is no corpse.

Two or three of them were about to climb the mountain at the head of the city, and they were instantly nailed through, and the blood flew away, pouring the faces of the Imagawa soldiers below.

There was a mountain bush on the body of the curls hooked the blade of the reverse beard, unable to break free, screaming again and again, with the Yaksha slapping violently, the body was cut off from the middle, the lower half of the body snapped to the ground, and the upper body was still hung on the wood, moaning miserably, and the faces of the people in the city turned pale.

If you have the intention to retreat, and you are afraid of being questioned by the law in the army, Gao Shisheng has rewarded many people, but the law is also strict, and those who retreat without an order have always been beheaded to show the public, and will not be tolerated.

Just as he was hesitating, in the barracks outside the trench, Ming Jin suddenly withdrew his troops.

Not only Honma Tengxiu and Sagara Keitai, but also Mitsuhide Naito felt very lucky. Looking back, the flying oar bridge on the trench was ignited by the Shaotian military stone machine in the city throwing baked jade and fire oil cans, and the soldiers who stayed on the edge of the trench could not extinguish the fire, and the fire on the flying oar bridge was moving.

If you don't retreat, there is no way back, so quickly put away the ladder and retreat to the camp.

Today's siege will end if there is no accident. Counting the troops, dozens of casualties were killed and injured when filling in the trenches, and more than 100 casualties were killed or injured on the ladder. The Shaotian army had a high wall as a barrier, and a rough estimate estimated that there were at best forty or fifty casualties. This exchange reaches the ratio of two for one, which is not low for the besieging side.

The tiger was quiet before the pill, there were patches of blood on the ground, and the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle were dragged back, but there were still some stumps and broken arms, and there was no time to search for them. The enemy seemed to be deliberately deterring, but the Yaksha did not retract, and the corpse of the mountain ambush hung alone in the air, looking particularly miserable and bloody.

The defenders of the city took the opportunity to tidy up the city defenses and rest and eat. However, the stone machines on both sides did not stop, and they were still throwing stones at each other in turn.

Naito Mitsuhide's face was covered with blood, and he bowed down in front of Gao Shisheng, and asked for guilt in fear, "The villain is really incompetent, please forgive Musashi for his sins, and attack the city later, and he will inevitably lead the crowd to attack the castle tower!" ”

Gao Shisheng shook his head, "I see the hard work of the three of them. The garrison in the city is fully equipped, and the three of them are not to blame for this time. Then he issued an order, saying, "Order the Oi Mori Dynasty to hurry up and build equipment, and attack here today, and suspend the army for the time being." "The whole process of attacking the city just now, he remembered it vividly, the enemy general commanded properly, both offensive and defensive, and was a strong enemy.

Breaking the White Horse Mountain is to set up an ambush with a plan, and there is no fortification. This time, it's the opposite.

He looked at the Tiger Out Pill Wheel not far away, listened to the flying stone breaking through the air, recalled and read the military scroll, and pondered whether there was a clever plan to reduce casualties and speed up the destruction of the city.

The Nagata Mori clan and other samurai of the Imagawa army were quite dissatisfied with the current progress of the siege, and they all turned their eyes to Shimoma Yorikei, and asked, "Shimoma Fangguan, I don't know what the believers arranged by your temple can contact?" "The meaning of the threat is very obvious, you bald thief said that there will be internal response in the city, and no one has responded after fighting for a long time, assisting in the siege of the city, is it not possible to coax you with words.

Lai Qing picked up the wine glass on the low table in front of him, drank it all, and said calmly, "Musashi Mamoru, there are not only disciples in my temple arranged in the city, but also the ninjas in Togakure Mountain, who have always believed in the Pure Land. At the head of the city, I saw the banners of the hermits beside them, and the poor monks could write secret words, shoot arrows into the city, and instigate them to contact your disciples in the city, and open the city to surrender to me. ”

"How sure are you?"

"The Bodhi Temple of the hidden people, which is the Lianzhao Imperial Workshop where the poor monks are located, has always been looking forward to the head of my Pure Land True Sect, and the poor monks' letters are fully sure that they can make trouble in the city."

"In my opinion, it is still too easy to be suspicious just by writing code words, and many of you here have in-laws with the wealthy families and samurai who are defending the city, so it is better to write a letter of persuasion and promise a reward in the letter. First, suspicion confuses their military morale and makes them suspicious of each other; The defenders in the two cities may not all be death-seeking people who refuse to surrender, and there will always be people who will be moved. Tadaaki Ono suggested.

Sending letters to the in-laws in the city and persuading them to surrender is a very common means of attacking the city. Although the Shinano people were reluctant in their hearts, no one dared to stand up against the sword, and I was the fish, so they could only grit their teeth and nod their heads and hand over the seals they carried with them.

There are not many people in the army who can write, so this errand is handed over to Oi Morito, Ono Tadaaki, and Shimoma Yorikei. In an hour, the three of them wrote thousands of letters of persuasion to the people of various countries, and even a letter of surrender written by Gao Shisheng to Shaotian Chonggao, all of which were bandaged with arrowheads.

At the sound of an order, arrows were fired into the city by archers. In addition to the names of the people, the letters of persuasion are all the same, nothing more than that those who surrender have a heavy reward, but in the text, there are code words that only know by Lai Qing and Togaku, and they will contact them at the time to send someone out of the city to agree on the next move.

It is almost twilight, and the military horses are straightened out.

After the rain of arrows, he ordered people to fill in all the trenches by the way, and then rushed to kill again. This time there was a slight improvement, and Mitsuhide Naito had stormed the castle, but was soon driven down again.

After Gao Shisheng collected the troops, Wen Yan encouraged him and ordered the whole army to return to the camp to rest, and wait for Lai Qingsheng to see his success.

There are rules for defending the city, and all letters shot by the enemy must be handed over to the leading general, and they must not be hidden privately. Thousands of letters of persuasion were almost the same as the number of guards, and the samurai and wealthy clans of each team always had a way to hide in private, but they were not worried that the hidden people would not see them.

Soon after nightfall, the city suddenly beat with drums. alarmed the Imagawa military camp outside the city, and Gao Shi hurriedly took people out of the camp to watch. Hundreds of torches were shining, and more than a dozen bloody human heads were hung on bamboo poles, around the curved wheel wall of the tiger out of the pill, and patrolled around. Shaotian Chonggao Chengtou shouted, "Those who vainly act as the enemy's internal response and sell our city will end up like this." ”

Gao Shisheng was extremely nervous, and hurriedly asked Lai Qing next to him, "Zen master, but the hidden people were exposed and killed?" ”

Lai Qing looked at it intently, and screamed, it was more than a dozen heads, all of them were lecturers and monks of Lianzhao Temple who were still in the city.

The leader of the Togakure people he said was also among them, and there were a few flesh-and-blood blurred heads, but they were several middle ninja leaders in the Togakure people, and this group of ninjas was actually wiped out!

No pop-ups
