"Rust, rustle" Between heaven and earth, it began to rain heavily in an instant. £¤f "Damn it!" Takahashi Shaoyun stood on Ninomaru's arrow and cursed extremely angrily. He had just received a report from the retainer who assigned Tai-Tian Yasushi to his subordinates, and learned that Tai-Tian Yasushi After that guy backed down, Takahashi Shaoyun was already a little annoyed, but before he could reply from the news, it suddenly started raining heavily again. This was simply a huge blow to the defenders. Because once it rains, defensive methods such as iron cannons and kerosene cannot be used. Although the Hojo family's iron artillery team has also been affected by this, the most serious impact is on the defenders. Sure enough, as the heavy rain fell, the sound of iron cannons that had been ringing in Edo Castle Ninomaru from morning to noon suddenly stopped at this moment, and the defensive morale of the defenders was also shocked. . "Bang! Bang!" Just when Takahashi Shaoyun was still angry, the Hojo family's attack did not stop because of the rain. They only heard the sound of wooden piles hitting the door, one after another. Outside Ninomaru, Horikiri, which the Hojo Army had not been able to fill even after paying heavy casualties all morning, was filled in in an instant. The Hojo army carried arrow shields and braved the heavy rain and arrows that passed by from time to time. Ashigaru soldiers were constantly being shot by arrows and then fell into the mud and wailed, while the Ashigaru soldiers beside them did not care. , continue the attack. Although the gong ashigaru of the defenders fired with all their strength, the Hojo army was now in full momentum and did not care about casualties. And rainy days also have a great impact on the bow and arrow's range, aiming, and bow string toughness. But now I can only use it reluctantly. Under Ninomaru Castle. Straw sandals slammed into the mud. Mud water splashed everywhere, the heavy rain made the hat on the head of the Hojo army's ashigaru rattle, and the flag finger became wet and became docile. The rainwater slid off the armor, and the Hojo army, which was covered in darkness and could not be seen from head to tail, was soaked. They were standing in the distance with their spears in hand, staring at the city gate. The toughness of Ninomaru's gate is not as strong as Tengumaru's Otemon. After eight tall Hojo warriors hit the wooden stakes hundreds of times, several white marks, one deep and one shallow, appeared on the gate of Ninomaru Castle. The door was broken down in an instant. Seeing this scene, Takahashi Shoun finally looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally said to himself: "I am still not as good as your lord. It seems that this is the only way." Just now, he could still delay the Hojo family army in Edo Castle. And he was a little complacent, even thinking that his current performance could not be compared with Lord Zhengliang's previous achievements, but the fact was so cruel. With the retreat of Tai Tian Kangzi and the coming of heavy rain, everything became a fantasy. He even thought that if the Lord Zhengliang were to come again, a situation like Taitian Kangzi would never happen. This time, I really fell short! After thinking of this, Takahashi Shaoyun immediately made the final decision. He quickly began to mobilize his subordinates and all nearby Taitian family horses to the gate. Just when Takahashi Shaoyun was gathering everyone, outside the city gate, he saw that the city was about to be destroyed. In order to boost morale, Shimizu Yasuhide personally beat the drum. "Boom! Boom!" Countless men and horses are being mobilized, and the spear teams erected like a forest are constantly being mobilized from far away. Just waiting for the city gate to be breached, the Hojo army poured into the city gate with an absolute numerical advantage. At this moment, at the Hojo Ujiyasu Honmoto Formation outside the city. Although it was raining heavily, the battle situation in the distance was not very clear. But all the generals of the Hojo family stretched their heads and stood in the heavy rain, staring closely at the battle situation in Edo City. The rain hit their helmets and hoods and made a tinkling sound. Everyone has a thought, is Edo Castle going to be destroyed today? But inside the military tent, Hojo Ujiyasu looked indifferent to the war situation in Edo Castle. Seeing this, Hojo Genan, who was with Hojo Ujiyasu, turned around and glanced at the heavy rain outside the military tent, and then asked Hojo Ujiyasu: "My lord, why don't you care at all about the battle against Edo Castle? " Hojo Ujiyasu stopped playing, shook his head, and said: "This city must be destroyed, but what I am more concerned about is the reinforcements of Tai-Tazumasa and Satomi Yoshihiro who were rapidly approaching Edo Castle. " "Well!" Hojo Genan also frowned when he heard this, "Judging from the information sent back before, the other party suddenly stopped advancing after learning that our family had arrived at Edo Castle ahead of them. We really don't know what the other party is doing. What are you planning to do!" Just when Hojo Ujiyasu and Hojo Genan were discussing the strange behavior of Tai-Da Shimasa and Satomi Yoshihiro's reinforcements, Edo Castle, Ninomaru. At this moment, whether inside or outside the city, the Ninomaru Castle Gate that everyone was paying attention to finally collapsed with a "bang". At the same time, the gates also collapsed with the gate.Debris flew everywhere. The moment finally arrived when the city gate was breached. "Oh!" The officers and soldiers of the Hojo Army turned red as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and the whole army swarmed in. "The city is broken! The city is broken!" Countless people shouted at the same moment. The purpose of this was not only to cheer themselves up, but also to shake the morale of the defenders. On the Ninomaru horse road, the Hojo army rushed in like a tide and fought with the defenders behind the city gate. The horse path in Edo Castle Ninomaru is designed somewhat like a corridor. On a horse road that is only five rooms wide, there are stone walls four rooms high on both sides, so the frontal fighting area is very small. The Hojo army formed a long queue, and the people behind pushed the people in front and rushed forward. . Therefore, if the samurai ashigaru who rushes to the front does not move, he will not be pushed forward by the one behind him. If someone is accidentally pushed to the ground, countless people will step on him. In this five-room narrow front, only the clash of swords, spears, and naginata could be heard, and soldiers from both armies slashed at each other without saying a word. People were constantly being stabbed or shot and thrown to the ground. However, if any injured people stopped, they would be trampled to death by the Hojo Army rushing behind them. There were dull shouts, mixed with the screams before death, and the Hojo army continued to attack. The forward commander of the Hojo Army is naturally the brave Masato Tominaga. His arms are extremely strong, and he wields the naginata all by himself. Split down left and right. Five or six ashigaru defenders were killed in a row. They were all cut into two pieces by his sword. "I am the Hojo samurai Masaka Tominaga, who dares to fight with me!" Masaka Tominaga shouted rudely. Tsunakage Toyama, who was his friend before, was seriously injured. He is probably in danger now. So this time he was determined to massacre the defenders in the city and avenge his friends. Facing Masato Tominaga¡¯s rough shouts, the defenders were forced by Tominaga Masato¡¯s momentum, and no one dared to step forward to fight. So he was beaten back and forth. Forced by this fierce offensive, the defenders' casualties suddenly became more and more heavy. In just a quarter of an hour, the Hojo Army penetrated the nearly 100-meter-long corridor of the defenders. Dozens of the defenders were killed on the spot, and the rest were all driven to the open space behind. "Haha! That's all!" Masaka Tominaga raised his head and smiled, and rain and blood fell on the naginata in his hand. And just when Masato Tominaga finished laughing, dozens of gong ashigaru from the defenders suddenly climbed up from the heights of the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. All the Hojo soldiers in the corridor suddenly changed their colors when they saw this. "Fire the arrow!" The leader of the defenders' ashigaru group shouted loudly. Dozens of gong ashigaru, the defenders who had been lying in wait for a long time, immediately crowded into the corridor. The crowds of Hojo soldiers were firing arrows. With such a density of people, you basically don¡¯t need to aim, you can shoot with your eyes closed, and when you shoot an arrow at such a close distance, there is no need to talk about the range or penetration, even if you are wearing armor, it will be useless. It can be said that it kills one with one stone. So, there was a bloody storm in the corridor, a rain of arrows rained down, the Hojo army in the corridor wailed repeatedly, and a large area of ??the dark crowd fell down. Five or six Hojo Ashigaru who survived being hit by arrows were still crawling on the ground holding their chests in their hands after their bodies were pierced by arrows. The entire corridor instantly felt like Shura Hell. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The taiko drum sound of the defenders' counterattack rang out immediately. Gao Qiao Shao Yun, wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, took the lead, while the rest of the defenders, led by Gao Qiao Shao Yun, rushed into the corridor together. The famous Hojo general Tominaga Masaie was about to fight the opponent, but before he could even meet him, Takahashi Shoun shot him through the chest. After killing Masaka Tominaga, Takahashi Shoun did not even look at Masaka Tominaga's body. Instead, he flicked the gun head, and Masaka Tominaga's body was thrown to the stone wall on the spot. "Ah!" Seeing the death of their general, this horrific scene, the Hojo army's legs trembled and they all exclaimed. As a result, the general died in battle and was ambushed by bows and arrows. The morale of the Hojo army was suddenly severely depressed. Under the overwhelming offensive pressure of the defenders, the Hojo Army was retreating steadily. Seeing Takahashi Shoun wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, he was coming to kill like a ferocious god. All the Hojo samurai who dared to resist could not even make a move (they had also studied the martial arts of the Roshi style with the lord Masara for so long, and Takahashi's spear skills were still the same) Shao Yun was best at it), he assassinated him on the spot, and the generals guarding him were also fierce, killing people was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Therefore, when Takahashi Shoun and others came to the front, the Hojo army facing Takahashi Shoun and others suddenly lost the last bit of courage to resist. "A fierce ghost is coming, a fierce ghost is coming, run away!" "Run away quickly, or you will die!" "Help"?! Don't leave me! ¡± The blood-curdling cries of the Hojo Army dead before their death made the Hojo Army at the rear feel particularly sad. Seeing Takahashi Shoun coming to kill, the Hojo Ashigaru army at the front collapsed, as if seeing a savage beast. Shouting and retreating desperately, they didn't even have the courage to turn back and fight. Even the Hojo army behind the corridor lost their courage and began to retreat back. The terrain in the corridor was originally narrow. As the saying goes, a brave man meets on a narrow road. Victory. The morale of the Hojo army was depleted, and they collapsed thousands of miles away. The Hojo ashigaru threw away their weapons and armor, and fled backward in panic. Some began to roar hysterically, and some even lost their courage. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and then was cut off by the defending warriors who were chasing him from behind. Takahashi Shaoyun and others continued to move forward without hesitation, while waving their guns. The sword opened fire, crushing the back of the Hojo Army and driving forward. Driven by this, the Hojo Army trampled forward and backward, stepping on others and crushing others. Most of the people killed and injured by the Hojo Army were their own people. Damn it, only a small part of them were killed by the defenders. Takahashi Shaoyun and others were so bloody that their heavy armor was soaked with blood. The defenders who caught up behind them were almost trampled all the way. Under the attack of Takahashi Shoun and others, the Hojo Army was pushed forward like a steamroller, pushing them back eighty meters. They were pushed back to the original position of the Ninomaru Gate, and the defeat continued. Seeing a large group of Hojo troops crying for their parents and running around, they were defeated and exited the city gate. Shimizu Yasuhide, the leader of the vanguard, couldn't react for a moment. It was still Hojo just now. The army is still marching forward with great momentum, why is it like this now? "Asshole. What happened? " Shimizu Yasuei pulled over a Hojo Ashgaru, who was almost crying in tears, and cursed. This Hojo Ashgaru seemed to have lost his soul. He shook his head, pointed to the gate of the city and said: "Yes Yes, the defender is a ghost a fierce general. Hearing this, Qingshui Yasuing loosened his hands and suddenly changed his color. At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ghost general?" ! "At this time, the fighting continued, and the defenders drove the Hojo army out of Ninomaru. Not satisfied, they shouted and fought out from the damaged gate. "After seeing this scene. Now Qingshui Kang Yingdun didn't want to think about who was so powerful that he was called the "Ghost General", so he immediately mobilized his own horse warriors. However, before Shimizu Yasuhide's horse warriors could engage in the battle, they were defeated by the Hojo Ashigaru who was constantly retreating. In the narrow terrain, the Hojo army was crowded and blocked, and the advantage of the large number of troops could not be used at all. After Takahashi Shaoyun and others led the army out of the city gate, the defenders continued to attack, and even several people rushed in. The samurai in front had more than a dozen wounds all over his body, but the sound of killing was loud. Although the Hojo army was in Shimizu Yasuei, and even though Shimizu Yasuei organized a group of soldiers to resist, the two sides only fought for a while. The soldiers and horses were beaten into chaos. The Hojo Army was really defeated all the way. Along the mountain road, the Hojo Army dropped corpses all over the ground. These corpses could not be accommodated on the mountain road, so they were kicked aside. The trees on the slope near the cliff were also covered with the corpses of the Hojo Army. The Hojo Army was completely defeated. Now they all retreated into the Tengu Maru and guarded several houses with strong bows. They barely managed to hold on. The army launched an offensive. The Hojo Ashigaru who retreated and survived were like frightened rabbits, nestling in the back of the house, looking at the menacing defenders outside Tengu Maru. Takahashi Shoun was waiting for this opportunity. So he held a gun alone and challenged the Hojo army outside the door: "Who dares to fight with Takahashi Shaoyun! " Takahashi Shoun's words clearly reached the ears of every Hojo soldier. Tengu Maru suddenly became silent. All the Hojo soldiers in the city were dejected. No one dared to step forward to fight. "Hahaha" After a burst of laughter, , Takahashi Shoun decisively led his subordinates to escape from Edo Castle through the path that had been determined before. "Yes, I had already learned that Taida Yasuzu was retreating from the battle and retaking Honmaru, intending to defend it, and then the attack started again. After the heavy rain, Takahashi Shoun knew that he could no longer stay in Edo Castle. He planned to break through the siege, look for the reinforcements of Taida Shimasa and Satomi Yoshihiro who were coming, and then use these reinforcements to entangle them. Hojo Ujiyasu. Now is the best time to break out. As for Taida Yasushi who is still in the main pill without knowing it? Huh, it¡¯s better not to keep such a guy around, otherwise it¡¯s really not possible. Knowing when they would be killed by the opponent, and with the rapid breakout of Takahashi Shoun and others, the Hojo Army failed miserably in attacking Edo Castle Ninomaru.The news also reached the Hojo Army's main line. Hojo clan Yasutetsu sat in the tent with a livid face, the military equipment in his hand having been thrown aside long ago. Finally, a roar came from the military tent. Hojo Ujiyasu said angrily: "Damn it, Takahashi Shoun must not be allowed to escape. I would rather not have Edo City. Hurry, send me people to chase!"
