The next day, according to the siege policy agreed by the army.

The Imagawa army of 3,000 spread out in the crowd, the four camps looked at each other, the flags were like a forest, and the taiko drums and conches accompanied by the neighing of cattle and horses were heard one after another.

Except for the 500 ashigaru left, which was used to prevent the defenders in the city from launching a surprise attack, the rest of the men kept digging ditches and walls all day long, and with the help of Lianzhao Temple, they recruited a large number of people from Anyun County to serve as the formation men, and they caught up with the front of the battle, and built fortifications day after day.

At the same time, with the help of the convenience hidden among the people, the hermits began to attack various critical facilities in the city. Every night, ninjas use the darkness of night as a cover to discard the corpses of dead objects such as chickens, ducks, dogs, and rats into the city's wells, and it stands to reason that the wells should be temporarily sealed for a period of time before they can continue to drink.

But now that the castle of Senkokuji is under siege, drinking water is already scarce, and the ashigaru who guards the well is worried that he will be punished for dereliction of duty, so he conceals the truth and only salvages the body of the chicken dog, and then makes it available to others without authorization, and takes over the cause of dozens of people to fall ill.

That night, a grain depot and a military collection and a bizarre fire, burned a hundred and ten stone food and a large number of weapons in one go, so angry that Shaotian Chonggao wanted to order, once again the whole city to search for the remnants of the household, but failed to get the support of the rest of the wealthy clans, especially the Xiaoyantong brothers regarded the Qianguo Temple City as the future of Wanxing, although they did not get the high master Sheng'an block, but still thought that it was only a matter of time, so they resolutely opposed.

Moreover, the previous search and arrest caused a lot of chaos, which caused almost a commotion among the people in the city. Again, what if the hidden people incite the people to sacrifice the city and subdue it? Not all of the wealthy who held opposing views were motivated by selfishness, after all, if they wanted to hold on to the city, they had to support the people.

However, the defenders of the city did not sit idly by in the face of the Imagawa army's plots. If you want to defend the city, not only must you defend it, but the people in the city must also participate.

Ashigaru was responsible for the frontal fight, and the people could not be idle, in addition to transporting rolling logs and gravel to the city, they had to go to the city together to assist in defense if necessary. Only in this way can we free up the manpower in the field of logistics and supply, concentrate the limited forces, and devote them to the fierce defensive battle.

The Imagawa army dug moats and built mountains outside the castle, and the same was true of Senkokuji Castle. Shaotian Chonghd empty tiger out of the house in the pill, organized the people to dig a deep ditch in the city. The earth dug out of the deep ditch was also piled up into a ram, and another earthen wall was built inside the crankwheel.

In the event that the outer walls were breached, with this ditch and earthen ramparts, the army defending the city could continue to resist stubbornly, and the so-called step-by-step camp was nothing more than that.

In just five or six days, the open space outside the city was built into a deep ditch and high fortress, and the barns were all over the place, blocking the inside and outside.

If it is said that Gao Shisheng postponed the progress of the siege in order to avoid causing the defenders in the city to fight to the death, then the deep ditch and high fortress were to attack the determination of the wealthy clan of Anyun County in the city.

If you don't dare to go out of the city to fight to the death, and you can't hold on, what else can you do? The construction of the wall inside is nothing more than a means to show that there are still methods of confrontation and to calm people's hearts, but the gradual consumption of military rations and gruel with fewer and fewer rice grains cannot deceive people.

If the Imagawa army hadn't built a wall to encircle it a few days earlier, it could have abandoned the city and fled. Now if you want to run, you can only retreat from the mountains, cross the Hida Mountains and retreat to Echigo Province, this steep mountain road, not to mention the heavy snow now that the mountains are closed, even the most suitable climate at the turn of spring and summer, is also extremely difficult.

"Defending the city must defend the wilderness, rather than just passively facing the enemy, it is better to take the initiative to attack again and win a time!" In the face of Shinjin Shigegao's proposal, everyone was silent.

It is more appropriate to take the initiative to attack, rather than to take the initiative to die. Although the Imagawa army outside the city does not have the elite of the Takeda army, it is more than enough to deal with the rabble cobbled together by the wealthy clans of Anyun County, and the Murakami army withdrawn from Kawanakama is afraid of Gao Shimori, the red ghost general, from the bottom of his heart, and the Shinano people are fearless and ignorant, and they want to go out of the city and let go, but unfortunately the combat power is too poor, and they must send troops to assist Shaoda Shigetaka.

After a long time, it was finally decided that each family would draw the warlike ashigaru from their subordinates and form a dead army to launch a counterattack outside the city, but the battle was very unsmooth.

Although the Imagawa soldiers assigned by Asahina Shinzhi to the commander of the high division are inferior to the county soldiers, they can also be called brave and good at fighting in the military service, especially these days, the evil party of Yamaofu who have been gathered one after another is even more fearless of death.

Gao Shisheng's military law is harsh and harsh, a few days ago, a few days ago, the fierce degree, Rao is Shimazaki Keishinobu has been through the Kanto vicious battle for a long time, and Takeda, Hojo, Uesugi have fought against the three families, and I can't help but look sideways, thinking that only the Taihei Temple battle can be compared.

The Imagawa army first carried the earth on the vehicle, in a vain attempt to build the earthen wall with the slab method, the Shaotian army in the city with iron cannons, rockets, and stone generators threw rolling stones to block, he personally led the team with 300 brave Ashigaru out of the city to attack and harass, at the beginning by the upper hand, killed the Shinano people who built the wall and returned, and saw from a distance that the Mefu team of the prison army was holding a sword and slashed more than ten people one after another, and then captured the rout, and drew one ding from ten, and the Imagawa army that followed the counterattack was driven back to the front line again.

From the field outside the trench, until the foot of the curved wheel wall, the arrows flew like locusts, walked the stone rolling pills, and shouted to kill the earth.

This kind of stalemate lasted for two whole days, and the initiative was sometimes on the side of Gao Shi Shengfang, sometimes on the side of Shaotian Shigetaka and Shimazaki Keishin.

Later, after the earthen wall was built, Gao Shisheng simply took advantage of the situation to lead the army to fill in the trench and prepare for the next battle.

Since the army was short of food, they simply mobilized the soldiers and the weaker miscellaneous soldiers of the Shinano people, and everyone carried the soil with cloth bags and marched with the army. He also ordered Mitsuhide Naito to lead the evil party to drive him behind.

Those who were cowardly and eager to retreat were killed on the spot, mixed with carts, and thrown into the trenches. From time to time, in the process of transporting soil, there are soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers who are hit by the enemy's arrows and stones, and as long as they are seriously injured and unable to move, whether they are dead or not, as long as they have no time to return, they are all pushed into the ditch.

It was okay to be killed on the spot by arrows and falling rocks, but some were hit by iron cannons on the edge of the trench, fell to the ground and groaned, and were immediately pushed into the water by their companions, and carts and bags of soil overturned and fell. Although the sound stopped, no one was seen. I don't know if it's soil or people who are used to fill the trenches.

The Shinano wealthy clan who watched the battle of the two armies did not change color, and Gao Shisheng sat on the lookout platform and watched the battle banquet with everyone, except for him, everyone heard the screams in the wind, and they were all unpleasant, and some people covered their faces with their sleeves, sobbing and weeping.
