    As the sun gradually rose, the fog on Edo Castle began to thin. Takahashi Shoun stood above Ninomaru's arrow oar in Edo Castle and saw the mountains and seas of the Hojo Army in the distance.  Military formation.  The formation of the Hojo Army in the distance was gradually mobilized. One by one, the Hojo siege troops were ready and waiting at the foot of the mountain.  On the mountain road, another group of Hojo troops came to attack the mountain. The black flags behind them were swaying like a dense forest.  And in front of the Tengu Maru under him, the Hojo Army was blocked by the defenders Tengu Maru and Ninomaru's iron cannons and bows, and was unable to attack the city for a while.  This Edo Castle is a typical Warring States-style mountain castle design, with a small frontal area that can be attacked. Even though the Hojo Army has a strength of 10,000 people, only a few hundred people can be invested in a single attack.  Although the Hojo Army has endless fresh troops and backup, it will not be so easy to capture Edo Castle for a while.  And behind Ninomaru's narrow space, the sound of iron cannons continued to sound.  The defender's iron cannon was an ashigaru, holding the iron cannon with both hands and aiming with one eye closed.  After each shot was fired, the iron cannon ashigaru immediately began to clean the chamber, carefully loaded the gunpowder and projectiles, pressed it with a push rod, and installed a match rope.  Just like that, the defenders passed through the narrow space between Ninomaru and Tengumaru. The roar of iron cannons continued, suppressing the Hojo army and unable to raise its head.  Yum Ashari was also not to be outdone, and killed any Hojo soldiers who dared to expose their bodies.  As a result, on the road from the arrow shield to Horikiri, soldiers of the Hojo Army lay dead everywhere.  At this time, the Hojo Ashigaru Zuowu at the bottom of the city was still holding his head, forming the first Rokurobei with the Ashigaru.  Hide behind the shield together.  At this time, the taiko drums of the Hojo Army started beating again.  The iron artillery ashigaru of the Hojo Army under the city had also caught up.  Dozens of people gathered in a row and took turns firing at the defenders' curved wheels.  The projectiles of the iron cannon hit the stone wall, splashing a light white ash and making small craters.  Although it did not cause any damage to the defenders' iron cannons, it suppressed the defenders' iron cannon fire to a certain extent.  "Come on!" Mukurobei shouted loudly again, and dozens of Hojo Ashigaru rushed forward and picked up the dirt bags on their backs.  "Shiro!" The fifth person on the left was surprised.  The ashigaru in front of him, wearing a robe, was his playmate Shiro who grew up in the same village as him.  Shiro used to be a hunter and traveled through the mountains and forests all day long, so he had a good hand.  Shiro had just taken a few steps when he heard the roar of the defenders' iron cannon above his head. He was startled, and then he immediately retracted into the arrow shield beside him.  After that, Rokurobei kicked him out and cursed: "What's there to be afraid of? The people of Hojo have all lost their face." Shiro gritted his teeth and rushed forward with all his strength.  With his strong skills developed in the mountains and forests, he dodged several arrows from the Lian family in one breath.  Immediately, he picked up a soil bag from the corpse of an Ashigaru whose throat was shot through by a bow and arrow, and then bravely buried his head and rushed forward.  "Well done!" The fifth from the left was just cheering for his childhood playmate when he heard the sound of an iron cannon.  Shiro was hit by an iron cannon pellet that penetrated his chest and fell limply to the ground.  At this moment, Zuo Wu felt a dull feeling in his head and a shock in his body, and then he collapsed to the ground. His childhood playmate died in front of him like this.  "Come on, the fifth one on the left." But Rokurobei turned around and glanced at the embarrassed figure on the fifth left, and then he yelled, "What a coward?" After saying that, Rokurobei saw only Rokurobei and rushed out on his own.  Arrow deflector.  Mukurobei was dressed in bright samurai armor, which immediately attracted the attention of the defenders.  "Bang! Bang!" Two iron cannons rang out, and Mukurobei's body swayed. One iron cannon shot missed, but Ling's first shot hit his waist.  Mukurobei endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth, rushed forward to pick up the soil bag dropped by Shiro, and rushed forward again, just three or four steps away from Horikiri, at this time, from Ninomaru  Shooting an arrow and piercing his armor from the back, Rokurobei swayed forward and fell to the ground.  ????????????????????????????????????¡­  He wiped his face with his hand, yelled "Ah" and rushed forward in large strides.  At the same time, another group of Hojo Army Ashigaru rushed forward with dirt bags on their shoulders.  The fifth person from the left was mixed in the crowd. From time to time, people around him were hit by the defenders' iron cannons and arrows, and fell to the ground.  He just rushed forward in one breath, staring directly at the dirt bag left by Mukurobei.  Zuo Wu was like a god protecting him at this moment. Not a single projectile hit him, but an arrow hit the armor of his iron cannon and did not penetrate.  Zuo Wu finally picked up the soil bag dropped by Rokurobei and successfully threw it into Horikiri.  There were also a dozen Hojo Ashigaru who successfully arrived and threw the soil bags into Horikiri.  He only saw HoriMost of it has been filled. Except for the front of Otemon, the bottom of other Horikiri parts are full of bamboo spears inserted upside down with the sharp blade upward.  Zuo Wu secretly rejoiced and began to run towards the place where he came from. After running about ten steps, the defenders' iron cannon fired another salvo.  The Hojo Ashigaru nearby fell down one after another, and Zuo Wu suddenly felt a pain in his right leg, as if something had penetrated, and it was a burning pain.  He finally threw himself to the ground, turned his head and glanced back, only to see a blood hole on his right thigh, bleeding out.  "I can't die here." Zuo Wuzhi felt tears streaming from his eyes as he said this. For a moment, he thought of his wife waiting at home.  Zuo Wu suddenly felt a will to survive. He stretched out one hand to cover his thigh, supported the ground with the other hand, and crawled forward among the piles of corpses.  "There are still ten steps to go, no, there are still eight steps to go." Zuo Wu stared, even though his vision was blurring, he murmured.  At this moment, another group of Hojo Ashigaru carrying soil bags rushed forward.  After Zuo Wu climbed back to the shield, he heard cheers from all around, and many Hojo Army Ashigaru shouted at the same time: "Horikiri has been filled!" Zuo Wu forced a smile on his face, and finally at that moment  Passed out.  At this time, more than a dozen ashigaru members of the Hojo Army rushed towards the gate together with wooden stakes lit with fire at the front.  The Lian family¡¯s iron cannon general kept giving orders.  The iron cannon ashigaru fired at the Hojo army ashigaru.  One after another, projectiles hit Hojo Ashigaru.  He was beaten to the ground.  Although the soldiers of the Hojo Army in the front continued to die in battle.  However, the troops and horses that followed continued to surge in. This endless combat power made the defenders feel like a huge stone was weighing on their hearts.  Even Gao Qiao Shaoyun shook his head when he saw this.  The Hojo Ashigaru men stepped over the filled-in Horikiri and smashed the burning wood toward the Lian family Otemon.  The Hojo Army's offensive continued. Although hundreds of corpses had been dropped in front of Tengu Maru, the Hojo Army's offensive continued uninterrupted.  Under the command of Shimizu Yasuhide and Kasahara Nobui, one team after another, the Ashigaru team suffered heavy casualties and was replaced.  Then another new force was added.  The bounty for the Ichiban gun reward for breaking into Edo Castle has been increased again. Regardless of whether they are samurai or ashigaru, as long as they are the first to break into Edo Castle, they will be granted the title of Tomoyuki 200 koku.  Listening to the roar of iron cannons on the Tengu Maru, Shimizu Yasuhide's face was ashen, holding military equipment in his hand, pacing back and forth, while his eyes were always fixed on the Edo Castle Tengu Maru.  At this time, an envoy rode a fast horse and came to the main formation of the first team.  He dismounted and bowed to Shimizu Yasuei and said: "Sir, Ono Ashigaru. Yamayama Ashigaru suffered heavy casualties and lost combat effectiveness. Ono-sama was killed in battle, and Yamayama-sama was wounded by an arrow." Shimizu Yasuei nodded expressionlessly and said  : "The order is given to the Ono team, the mountain team retreats, replaced by the Tanaka team, and the Kinoshita team attacks." "Oh!" After receiving the order, Shiban quickly mounted his horse, and then Shimizu Yasuhide heard from a distance.  "Tanaka team, Kinoshita team, come back with me." Immediately there was the sound of a series of armors clashing, and another team of ashigaru with black flags on their backs and spears on their shoulders ran up the mountain in small steps.  Seeing this scene, Shimizu Yasuhide said with a stern face: "Defenders, I want to see how long you can last today." In front of Tengu Maru of Edo Castle.  "Bang! Bang!" The loud sound of the wooden stakes beating on the gate kept ringing.  Above Ninomaru, the roar of iron cannons continued, and arrows slanted down like rain.  A dozen Hojo Ashigaru held up their arrow shields with both hands and covered them above, resisting the firing of the defenders' iron cannons and bows and arrows.  In the cave of Otemon, six samurai armed with swords stared at the thick wooden door that was constantly shaking with vigilance.  And around them, there were seven or eight burly Hojo Ashigaru with bare arms, holding a large wooden stake with a burning front end in their hands, and hammering the Tengumaru's Otemon door hard one by one.  The defenders kept firing bows, arrows, and iron cannons. From time to time, the unlucky Hojo Ashigaru would accidentally be shot or hit by an arrow in Otemon, and fall to the ground.  Whenever someone is injured or killed in action, several people from the Hojo Army in the rear will immediately rush to the Otemon gate to replace the fallen ashigaru.  On the mountain road farther away, the mountain wind howled, and countless Hojo Ashigaru held their breaths, standing behind with guns and swords drawn, waiting for the moment when Otemon was breached.  "We can't let them use wooden stakes to hammer Otemon anymore." Takahashi Shaoyun said at the Ninomaru Arrow Tower.  He turned his head and shouted to the defender Ashigaru below: "Throw me the porcelain bottle." "Oh!" The defender soldier agreed, and then on Ninomaru, several defenders Ashigaru brought out seven or eight porcelain bottles.  , and then they threw it towards Otemon with all their strength.  The porcelain bottle hit the shield near the Otemon, and the Hojo army's Ashigaru shattered into pieces.  The liquid inside immediately spilled all over them.    When Hojo Army Ashigaru put his nose close to the wet place and smelled it, his face suddenly changed and he shouted: "No, it's kerosene." As soon as they finished speaking, a sharp sound came from Ninomaru in Edo Castle  drink.  "Fire the arrows!" In the narrow space of the defender's Ninomaru curved wheel, several arrows wrapped with burning cotton cloth were shot toward the Otemon.  When the fire met the oil, it ignited instantly, and Oshoumen Castle Cave suddenly fell into a sea of ??fire.  The Hojo troops who were on fire were jumping and shouting, throwing out the arrow shields in their hands, and then threw themselves on the ground and rolled to put out the fire.  At this time, the defenders on Ninomaru fired a volley of iron cannons, bows and arrows at Otemon. After one round, there was no longer a living Hojo army in Otemon.  The head of the Hojo Army Ashigaru Group in the distance couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw this scene. He looked back and saw that the Hojo Ashigaru behind him all turned pale when they saw this scene.  After the fire on Otemon was extinguished, another group of Hojo Army samurai Ashigaru, carrying arrow shields, rushed towards Otemon and took over the place of those who had died in the battle.  The hammering sound at Otou Gate sounded again, and at this moment, the few oil bottles the defenders had were all used up.  Then the defenders Ninomaru mounted their arrows and started heading towards the mountain road.  Condescendingly throwing rocks.  Several arrow shields were immediately smashed to pieces.  Together with the Hojo army hiding behind, they were crushed under the rocks.  The Hojo Army Ashigaru was blocked by rocks.  And not allowed to go into battle.  The leader of the iron artillery group quickly ordered the iron artillery team to shoot at the arrow oars, which forced the defenders to stop throwing stones.  Takahashi Shaoyun is still observing the battle situation carefully. For now, inflicting a large number of casualties on the Hojo Army is not the main thing. What the defenders need is to delay time.  So far, the defenders have done everything well. Although the Hojo Army has a large number of people, it has been unable to break through in front of the Tengu Maru.     At this moment.  Gao Qiao Shaoyun heard the sound of someone hurriedly stepping on the plank of the arrow oar.  "What's the matter?" Takahashi Shaojun turned around and asked.  "Replying to your lord, Lord Tai-Tian Yasuji, let me report to you that the Otemon of Tengumaru is about to be breached." "Yes, I understand," Takahashi Shaoyun said without hesitation, "Let me know immediately.  The reserve team went to support. " "Oh!" the other party agreed and hurried downstairs.  Takahashi Shaoyun looked at the front door of Tengumaru Otemon, and the loud sound of wooden piles hitting the door still kept ringing.  Takahashi Shaoyun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that easy to capture Tengumaru." At this time, in front of the Tengumaru Otemon gate of Edo Castle.  Tai Tian Kangzi was staring at the big door with a sullen face that kept making a clanging sound.  There were several huge wooden reinforcements placed behind the Otemon thick wooden door. However, despite this, the thick wooden door was still banged loudly. Every impact caused the dust near the door frame to fly, and fine sand particles fell down, as if  Shaky.  Now the gun ashigaru of a team are standing in two rows with their guns drawn, standing behind the Otemon gate and waiting.  In the outer circle of the gun ashigaru, more than twenty joint bow ashigaru and iron gun ashigaru were all aiming their bows, arrows and iron cannons at the entrance of the Otemon gate, ready to go at any time.  As for the attacking Hojo Army Ashigaru outside the Otemon, they were sweating profusely. They held large burning stakes in their hands and hit the Tengumaru's Otemon hundreds of times.  Now that Otemon is finally showing signs of failure, these Hojo Ashigaru people are happy and they are even more energetic.  ¡°Bump!¡± After a shout.  Finally, there was a loud bang!  The gate of Tengumaru Otemon collapsed.  The Hojo Ashigaru in Otemon were overjoyed. As the first samurai or ashigaru to attack Tengu Maru, they could gain the territory of two hundred tomoyo.  Ordinary ashigaru can also get the opportunity to be promoted to samurai immediately.  "The city gate is broken!" On the mountain road, the cheers of thousands of Hojo troops resounded.  They were already impatient with waiting.  "My fifth assistant is Ichiban!" The leader of the Hojo samurai announced his name and rushed into the Otemon gate first. The fifth assistant announced his name in order to confirm his military exploits and to facilitate future military awards for his merits.  There will be no deviation.  After the fifth assistant of the samurai rushed in, the Hojo troops swarmed to follow them. On the mountain road, the Hojo troops also rushed out of the arrow shields and rushed towards Tengumaru's Otemon.  The moment Wusuke stepped into Otou's door, his expression changed.  ¡°Not good!¡± Just as Wusuke was about to turn around and return to where he came from, he heard a roaring salvo of iron cannons coming from behind him.  Wusuke suddenly felt as if his body had been hit by an iron fist, and then he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.  "Come on! The gate is broken!" The black flags of the Hojo Army roared on the mountain road. Countless people were trying their best to attack Tengu Maru at this moment.He rushed towards the city gate to seize the city gate immediately.  And at this moment, on the Ninomaru and Tengu Maru of Edo Castle, the defenders' iron artillery and bow ashigaru were firing on all cylinders.  Countless arrows fell, and the sound of iron cannons resounded.  After a burst of smoke, the Hojo Army rushed towards the city gate from the mountain road. More than 30 people were knocked down by iron cannons and arrows on the spot. As a result, the ashigaru of the Hojo Army were beaten and retracted behind the arrow shields again.  At this time, two or three Hojo Ashigaru who had just rushed into the city in Otemon also fled from the gate's tiger's mouth. However, several arrows were shot from the narrow space of the Tengu Maru curved wheel behind them, but they rushed  Got on them and penetrated the bamboo armor behind them.  After a fierce battle, all the soldiers of the Hojo Army who entered the city gate were finally knocked down or repelled. At this time, the commander-in-chief Tai Tian Yasuzu suddenly ordered: "Retreat, retreat immediately."  "Ah? Sir?" Some soldiers from the Toe Country were very surprised. Even if Tengumaru's Otemon was breached, the coalition forces could obviously use the terrain here to resist the entry of the Hojo family's army, but this  Why did an adult from the Tai-Tian family suddenly give the order to retreat?  "Retreat, we can no longer hold on here." After saying that, Taitian Kangzi no longer took care of the troops brought by Takahashi Shaoyun, but directly ordered the troops belonging to the Taitian family to start retreating.  "What should we do now? The Hojo family's army outside is about to attack again." Looking at the Tai-Tian family's military force that was quickly evacuating, everyone in the Toe Imagawa family immediately looked at each other.  "It's better to go and join Lord Takahashi." Then everyone immediately separated from the Tai-Tian family's army and began to go to the defensive station where Takahashi Shaoyun was located.  As for this team of Tai Tian family members, they really don¡¯t dare to continue to follow. After all, with Tai Tian Kangzi as a leader who makes people feel insecure, they are really worried about their own safety.  (Thanks to "Yu Yiqing o(n_n)o" for receiving the "Great God's Light" medal for this book.
