"Kill !!!!!!!!"

After a day of fierce fighting, it was nearly dusk. The offensive of the Han army not only did not stop, but became more and more vigorous.

"Whoosh !!!"

"Ahh!!!hh

The walls of the city were covered with blood. Under the city, a large number of corpses are piled up. There were soldiers from the Koizumi family, as well as soldiers from the Han army.

Corpses are still being produced.

"Damn it. They're demons. Koizumi Qingjun sweated like rain, raised his head in despair and looked at the sky.

It's going to get dark soon.

On weekdays, this little time passes in the blink of an eye. But now, it feels like a year is long.

He didn't even have a chance to rest for the night and straighten out his troops and horses.

"Kill !!!!" At that moment, a roar rang in his ears. He struck a spirit, and then watched a Han soldier descend from the sky.

This Han soldier was extremely tall and sturdy, which was in stark contrast to the short Fuso man. After standing firm, like a tiger entering a flock, he waved the steel sword in his hand and fought against several Fuso samurai, and did not fall behind.

"Your Excellency. I can't hold it. Please retreat to Nimaru. ”

The small surname hurriedly pulled Koizumi Qingjun, left Sanmaru in a hurry, and retreated to Ermaru.

"Retreat to Nimaru." At the critical moment, Koizumi Qingjun did not fill the fat man, raised the folding fan in his hand, and shouted. The remaining soldiers of the Koizumi family retreated to Nimaru in a hurry.

Everyone was terrified.

Three pills, two pills, and this pill.

Each place is smaller than the other, and the defense is stronger than the other. But according to the fierce offensive of the Han army, even if they retreat to Ermaru, they will not be able to hold it.

"Kill !!!"

With the retreat of Koizumi's army, the Han army attacked Sanmaru with great momentum, and then launched a massacre of Koizumi's army, which had no time to retreat.

Some of the ronins and militiamen who joined temporarily knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The Han army ignored it, and the steel knife slashed it, and it was a big head, rising into the sky. The Han army quickly occupied Sanmaru and then launched an attack on Nimaru.

The battle of Nimaru, Honmaru, ended quickly.

Dusk, before dark.

The general Zhang Cai, surrounded by his own soldiers, entered the city of out of the stone. Soldiers are disposing of corpses and treating wounded soldiers. Although it was a cross-sea battle, they would cremate the bodies of the Paozawa brothers and put away the ashes properly.

I hope that one day sooner I can bring it back to my hometown.

The Han army was not so polite about the corpse of Koizumizumi's army, first confiscating the armor and weapons, and then transporting the corpse out of the city, digging a pit and burying it.

Although the battle was fierce, the casualties of the Han army were not few.

A hundred households held the head of Koizumi Qingjun and stood under the city gate to greet Zhang Cai.

"How did you die?" Zhang Cai glanced at it and asked.

"Seppuku. The head was cut off by Koizumi's retainers. Hyako replied.

"Bury it. Nothing interesting. Zhang Cai said.

"Yes." Baihu answered, and went down with his head. Zhang Cai turned his head and said to the soldiers: "Go and count the granary and protect it." ”

"Search to see if there is a secret passage in the castle. and heightened vigilance. ”

"Control all the families of the samurai in the city."

"Yes." The soldiers wrote them down one by one, turned around and went down.

Zhang Cai was not polite, came to Koizumi Qingjun's bedroom, and lay down to sleep. Early the next morning. Zhang Cai asked a thousand households to lead troops to stay in Shicheng, and he led nine thousand soldiers to rush to his adoptive father's city to meet Wu Nian.

Meanwhile.

Wang Gui and Wu Nian quickly marched into the army. Wang Gui led his troops to clean up the rest of the castle of the Sidao family, and Wu Nian led his troops to attack his adoptive father's city.

Wu Nian took a small number of personal soldiers, five thousand Fusang soldiers, along the road, and quickly marched to the adoptive father's city.

Adoptive Father City is also a mountain city, but it covers a large area, which is not comparable to Izushi City.

There is a lot of flat ground around it, which can be used for attacking.

To the east of the city, Wu Nian rode on a horse, looked at the city in front of him, and shook his head gently.

He started with a garrison castle, and seeing such a mountain city was a headache.

In particular, he didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were in the city. But looking at the number of soldiers in the city, there should be a lot of them.

"The order goes down. Ordered five thousand households, each of whom found a suitable place to set up camp. ”

"Find someone to go to the city and persuade him to surrender. As long as Terashima Masanori dedicates the city, the widow guarantees him glory and wealth. ”

Wu Nian turned his head and said to his own soldiers.

"Yes." The soldier answered, turned and went down. Forthwith. A man named Yosuke Okita, a samurai-turned-head soldier, volunteered to go to the castle to persuade him to surrender.

Wu Nian rode on his horse and watched him enter the city.

Adoptive father in the city. Inside the castle tower.

The governor of the Terashima family, Terashima Masanori, wears armor and sits on a small bench. In front of him sat two rows of more than ten retainers, all wearing armor and samurai swords.

Terashima Masanori is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, with a national character face, a full beard, and a scar on the left side of his face, looking very vicious, tall and strong.

As a daimyo sitting on a territory of 180,000 koku, among the two or three hundred daimyo in Japan, the volume is already extremely large.

However, the Terashima family originally only had a territory of 20,000 stones, and the new territory of 160,000 stones was captured by him after he succeeded the governor of the family in the troubled times, or fighting, surrendering, or plotting.

Because of this outstanding military exploits, the retainers considered him to be a "Ming Jun".

Outsiders gave him many names, such as "the fox of Danma", "the famous general of Danma" and so on.

When he received the news that the Han army was attacking Danma, he quickly gave an order and gathered a large number of troops in the adoptive father's city.

Now the city is strong, the army is numerous, and there is plenty of food and grass.

His confidence is not ordinary.

Terashima Masanori glanced at the retainers with a majestic gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone. Although the Han soldiers conscripted Danma, it was beyond my expectations. ”

"But at the moment I have five thousand troops."

"And the main force of the shogun is in Harima Province, and the shogun himself is in Osaka Castle. Within five days, reinforcements would be able to reach Tajima. ”

"So we just have to hold on for five days and we can rest easy. The terrain of Tajima is complicated, so it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. ”

"As long as we cooperate properly, we can completely eat all the Han troops that enter Danma."

"This feat. It is worth at least 50,000 stones. It can make my Terashima family a great name in the territory of more than 200,000 stones. ”

"Of course, your fortune will also rise."

"But. How much it can go up depends on your performance. ”

"Sacrifice your lives and fight hard."

At the end, Terashima's voice suddenly rose and was very infectious.

The samurai had an unimaginable attachment to their status and wealth.

Hearing Terashima Masanori's speech, the retainers immediately boiled with enthusiasm and responded loudly.

"Yes."
