Chapter 65 The Two Ways of Seeking Life
Ono Tadaaki's arrogant posture without fear made all the wealthy families in the city panic, although they may not really believe that the castle is broken, but there is one in ten thousand, who can say for sure.
The Imagawa army has been completed, and the coalition army led by Oyamada Nobushige and Asahina Shinji is about to wipe out the main force, and Gao Shisheng did not give the defenders in the city the effort to distinguish the truth of the news, so he attacked the city in a big way, so as to prove that what he said was true from the side.
In today's offensive, the Imagawa Army still chose to attack at noon, picking up the defenders when it was time to eat.
Seven or eight flybridges were built, not very wide, about two, but they were built extremely strong, having learned the lessons of the previous trenches. Select dozens of brave bannermen under his command, wear big armor, hold wild swords, and lead 200 dead soldiers who have been recuperating for many days to gallop through the bridge, and attack first.
Nearly 20 ladders leaned against the city wall, and ordered Mitsuhide Naito to lead the hundred evil parties to take the lead of the army, climb up, fall and rise, and no one dared to retreat without permission.
On the dirt hill and behind the ladder, seven or eight hastily erected trebuchets followed the archers and fired them.
The chariot then slammed into the city gate, where the gate again hung down and hit the weak point of the crankwheel wall, and this time the chariot was not reduced in size, but was thickened and weighted, and the soldiers who pushed the chariot were covered with long skulls and wore armor themselves.
These selected cart drivers, all of them are hard-working and good at fighting veterans, before the battle are promised by the high master, after the battle, regardless of victory, defeat will have a heavy reward, the dead have another burning money, Lianshoji Temple monks have passed away, Shinano local natives can break the city first, and there is also a blockade and sealing, so the morale is quite strong. With each impact, the city shook.
However, the castle of Senkokuji is a fortified castle after all. The walls of the curved wheel are strong and difficult to destroy in a hurry. Shimazaki Keinobata was a famous general, who led the Floating Wave Prison people to fight back along the flying bridge, and fought until night, and the Imagawa army left 100 corpses and returned to the camp. Tiger out of the pill, the defenders also suffered dozens of casualties.
After a fierce battle, the victory and defeat were not scored. Early the next morning, Gao Shisheng urged his troops to besiege for a long time, rested a little at noon, and after a short time of eating, he attacked the city again, and fought until late at night before he stopped the truce.
Although the casualties of the siege were severe, the purchase rewards and pensions issued by Gao Shisheng were not only rich, but they were always settled on the same day and never in arrears. The monks of Renshoji Temple were allowed to bring the money and food to the Shinano people on their behalf, and since ancient times, I have never heard of such a general who kept the party contract
The Shaotian army defending the city was different, it was not without warriors in its army, but there were more cowardly and weak people, and the good and the bad were mixed. In the past few days of hard fighting, although the main guard of the tiger pill is the army's ashikashi, but the people also have to go into battle to assist in defense and defense, and the casualties are not small, which is a great blow to morale.
Every time the wealthy families withdrew their troops from the Imagawa army, they all gathered in one place to sigh and sigh while they were resting.
In the bloody past, witnessing the various fierceness and might of the Imagawa army, some people began to can't help but connect with each other, test each other's tone, and want to elect a leader of sufficient weight, leaving behind the military forces sent by the Echigo side such as Shoda Shigegaku, and trying to reach a peace agreement with the enemy army outside the castle through the Togakushi ninja.
Rather than shattering the jade, why not open the city and subdue, protect yourself, and return to the Takeda family's matching, it is not something that cannot be considered.
The old Takeda army of the Koiwa Tong team, there are many people who have made suggestions to him, although every time the person who proposes is reprimanded back by Koiwa Tongsheng, what do they think in their hearts? Do you really disagree, or is it a pretense to wait for the price to sell? Nobody knows.
Gao Shisheng changed his strategy for attacking the city this time, and after a burst of stone bombardment, he did not immediately launch an offensive, but transferred a team of ashigaru, raised flags, and paraded outside the city. The Imagawa army plundered most of Anyun County, and demanded a large amount of savings from Lianzhao Temple, which had sufficient military resources and a lot of money.
Gao Shisheng selected them all the ones who had made meritorious achievements in the past few days, lined up in a line, and came out neatly and turned, and the guards on the city looked at them. The sun is rising, but it is seen that its weapons and armor are new, and the military appearance is very prosperous. The soldiers at the front and the warriors in the line were all shown off with brocade, gold and silver, and they received money and food rewards from the priests in turn according to their roll calls, and the Shaotian army in the city was overwhelmed.
The Imagawa sergeant came out of the left camp to receive the reward, turned around, and returned to the right camp.
Since the siege of Qianguoji City, Shimazaki Keishin has never been down the city, he lifted a big gun, stood on the south gate Yakura, carefully watched for a long time, and was envious, just for a while, at least three or five hundred yuan, such a big sum is really extravagant.
Shimazaki Keishinobu turned his head and said casually to Koiwatsu Moriki beside him, "I heard that Musashi Mamoru's favorite thing is to use money to invite people to buy people's hearts, what does Koiwa-tsu think?" Xiao Yantong has forty years of prosperity, and he is forced to be calm, and said, "This is the enemy's strategy, deliberately showing off to you and me." ”
Shimazaki Keishin sneered, "Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the floating waves are the most deadly." I don't know how Lord Koiwa-tsu is doing? We are used to being poor, anyway, the more we see the glory, the more we kill. The implication of his words was that the money flaunted by the Imagawa army was regarded as a trophy of the future.
Xiao Yantong Sheng Gui smiled dryly, thinking about whether there was any other deep meaning in his rather resentful words.
After a short time, the Imagawa army was rewarded. The three conch horns sounded, and it was still the evil party under Mitsuhide Naito who took the lead and led the crowd to attack the city.
The Shaotian army, which was on duty to change the garrison, bent the bow and stepped forward with a gun, and the assistant defense was rolling the yaksha beat, wolf tooth slap and other organs to prepare for release. The mechanism is mostly rotated with iron cables, and it is immediately upright and noisy, so that the people who hear it can't help but feel sore.
Gao Shisheng's means of attacking the city are still those things.
The selected dead soldiers walked the flying bridge, and the evil party led by Mitsuhide Naito climbed the ladder. Concentrate the trebuchet and bowfoot light in one place, and throw and launch them together at the weak points of the city defense. Crashing into the wall, arrows rained down.
Naito Mitsuhide was ruthless in his heart, and he still jumped first with the evil party under his command, all with blades on their backs and knives in their mouths, going forward and one after another, helping the wall.
Seeing the start of the battle, Shimazaki Keishun hurriedly got off Yakura, whistled, gathered the floating waves hiding in the sunny place to rest, and hurriedly fought with the enemy troops who were rushing to the city and crossing the flying bridge.
These floating prisoners are really as he said, they are extremely poor and desperate, wielding knives and guns to follow the original Imagawa army dead soldiers, fighting on the narrow and swaying flying bridge, and from time to time someone falls from mid-air and falls to pieces.
