Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I don¡¯t know how many people died to deliver the soil to the city. This method of piling soil to climb the city was very inefficient. The civilians were scared of being shot by the defenders at the top of the city. Even if they were killed, they did not dare to continue pushing the carts to fill the city. Several soldiers  Mufu immediately showed his sword and started killing on the spot. He killed more than a dozen civilians in a row before driving them back to the front of the battle.  Perhaps seeing the efficiency of filling the land in plowing the land, a new method was added this time, allowing a small number of civilians to carry simple logs as simple siege rams and continue to attack the city. The cold-blooded and cruel military commander carried a sword to supervise  , a team of archers and ashigaru were in position behind them, waiting for orders at any time. The cries of the peasants spread far to Hachimanhara. They stumbled and carried the simple wooden ladders. How many peasants rushed to the city and were quickly stopped by the defenders on the city.  When the army retreated, they were immediately hit by a volley of arrows from the bows and arrows behind them. The civilians retreated and retreated under the city, wailing and supporting the flat trucks to continue piling earth. After the civilians died, they were replaced and the number of people who hit the city gate remained unchanged.  The attack organized by the Takeda Army greatly exceeded Murakami Yoshikiyo's expectations, and the passively defensive Kaijin Castle fell into turmoil.  Takeda Nobushige stared at the civilians dying one after another, and frowned tightly: "Sanada's method of correcting this is really unkind. The civilians are the most precious wealth of our samurai family. Victory is gained with the lives of the civilians.  It¡¯s really not advisable!¡± ¡°Dian Mangdian is kind-hearted! However, my lord¡¯s request is to capture Haijin City as quickly as possible. If we don¡¯t do this, we don¡¯t know how long it will take to break the city. If we can¡¯t capture Haijin City, we will not be able to capture it.¡±  We can't afford to suffer the consequences of our lord's great cause." Yukitaka Sanada smiled disapprovingly, thinking that Takeda Nobutushige was still a little pedantic. Takeda Harunobu's generals were so tight, how could they capture Kaijin Castle without some special means?  He was fed up with the days of being implicated due to repeated mistakes, and he had to complete the orders given by Takeda Harunobu no matter what method he used.  Takeda Nobushige is the kindest samurai in the Takeda family. This kind-hearted general is deeply loved by the Takeda family. Of course, he is also jealous of Takeda Harunobu. Several boys in his family have always regarded Takeda Nobushige as the perfect samurai in their minds. If not  Yukitaka Sanada had made up his mind not to take sides, and would definitely be happy to make friends with this gentle and humble samurai.  Yukitaka Sanada's tactics indeed worked extremely well. During Japan's Warring States Period, except for cults such as the Ichikou Sect, which used ordinary people to attack the city, no Japanese people dared to risk the world's disapproval. However, Yukitaka Sanada used it this time.  The general's order was urgently fulfilled, and Takeda Nobushige could not express his dissatisfaction no matter how much he had.  As the siege battle gradually reached its climax, the main force of the Takeda army focused on the Otemon gate. More than 2,000 elite soldiers gathered in front of this small gate. Takeda Nobushige did not hesitate to hold the battle in person to boost the morale of the soldiers.  , the city's guard, Murakami Yoshikiyo, was also unambiguous. He took out all the noisy utensils in the city and beat them with ping-pong-dong-dong to boost Erlang's energy.  Hundreds of civilians in the city were surrounding the wooden pillars. It was too slow to hammer the wooden pillars with people on their shoulders. However, the Takeda family lacked skilled craftsmen, so they had to urgently use a flatbed truck sold by the Kira family to slightly modify it. The three trucks were put together to stand on top.  Several wooden stakes and hemp ropes were hung to make a siege vehicle.  More than two thousand elite tigers and wolves howled and rushed to the city. The civilians braved the rain of arrows and held on to the wooden ladder to protect the samurai. A group of ashigaru gathered at the city in an disorderly manner. As soon as two or three people climbed up, they were stopped by the people from the city.  The defenders pushed down the wooden ladder, and a pot of boiling water poured down the ladder. More than a dozen people rolled around under the hot wooden ladder. The civilian husband was so burned that he almost died, and the Ashigaru people couldn't take off their armor, and it was boiling.  The water poured into their clothes and they cried out in agony. More than a dozen people were killed on the spot by the burn.  From Uoki's attack to Shenshi's, Baibai sacrificed hundreds of lives and still could not break through the walled city. Sanada Yukitaka ordered with a livid face: "The gold diggers cannot stop. We must dig out another passage as soon as possible. This must not be dug."  At the feet of the enemy's main force, you have caused trouble and ruined the lord's cause. No one can save you!" Kaijin City is in a precarious situation. Letters for help are sent to Asahiyama Castle one after another. The Kira family did not expect Takeda Harunobu to be so tough. Kira Yoshi  Shi was furious and immediately launched a new round of Hachimangahara landing battle, trying to pull back the main force of the Takeda Army. On the other side, the defender of Nisu Castle still couldn't hold back, and led 500 Shinano troops to try to support Kaijin Castle, and also  Before reaching the city, they were strangled and beaten by the Takeda Army. They abandoned their armor and fled back. The operation to land on Yawatahara failed again. The soldiers in Kaijin Castle experienced a painful process from hope to disappointment and then to despair. When Shinano's  Light rain fell on the earth again, and the bleak autumn wind brought shocking news. Saito Asanobu led 3,000 cavalrymen to break into Saku County. The people in Saku County hurriedly gathered 3,000 soldiers to resist, but were defeated by Saito's army.  However, when the main general Mochizuki was in full swing, many people were killed by Nezumasa Nao, and Northern Shinano fell into a passive position in space.  The Takeda Army was in a dilemma. The arrival of Saito Asanobu disrupted all deployments and made all planning a thing of the past. The defenders in Ohorikan, Hirota Village, and Yokota Castle came out.?There were commotions at different levels. Most of them came from the Chinese lords in the central and southern parts of Shinon. If their home base was not protected, they could still think of fighting. Just when the situation was in crisis, the Kira family once again changed their tactics.  On the evening of September 29th, the lights in Asahiyama Castle were brightly lit. Kira Yoshiki impassionedly announced the order to attack Hachimanhara at night. Hundreds of samurai solemnly obeyed the order without any objection. This plan had already begun when the troops were sent to Shinano in June.  After brewing, after large-scale landings in Hachimanhara again and again, the Kira family completely grasped the information of every inch of Hachimanhara.  An even more powerful back-up move was the Togakushi ninjas recruited a month ago. A few days after the recruitment of Kira ninjas, the village that had been hidden in the Togakushi Mountains for more than 300 years finally opened its doors to the world.  The people moved to Asahiyama Castle Town, and the mountain ninjas who were accustomed to living in the mountains experienced the convenience of life in the castle town for the first time. Many ninjas had never seen a flat plain in their lives, and this time they got what they wanted.  The outside world.  The Togakure ninjas are not as elite as the Iga ninjas, and they are not as good as the Koga ninjas in terms of unity and various incredible specialties. However, when it comes to the level of mountain combat, I am afraid that even Koga and Iga who came out of the mountains cannot compare with them.  The only characteristic of Shinano Country is that it has a lot of mountains, with peaks of more than 2,000 meters connected one after another. Many valleys are inaccessible and there is no human habitation all year round. The ninjas who walk in the mountains and forests all year round are all good at mountain warfare.  As a native mountain man of Shinano, his appearance, accent and voice are impeccable. There is no need to deliberately imitate the image of a rustic old farmer. The Takeda family has always been on guard against Kira ninjas with non-local accents, but ignored the native Shinano people.  There is also a ninja army that has been silent for three hundred years.  It¡¯s not a good life to have thousands of troops stationed in a walled city without anyone to wait on them. In medieval Japan, there was no such thing as heavy troops. When samurai went out to fight in joint battles, they had to wait on them. Low-level samurai had to rely on civilian servants to wait on them. They had already  A month ago, he had successfully sneaked into the three annoying fortresses on the Yawatahara in the name of transporting firewood and fresh fish.  It didn't take long for the Togakure ninjas to draw one map after another of the city's structure, and figure out their shift system and even the rules for code changes. Kira Yoshitoki's eyes were burning with fire, and he worked hard for three days.  The moon has finally reached this moment, everything is ready and all it needs is the east wind.  The end of each month and the beginning of the month are the darkest hours of the moon. This day is called the evil day. On this cold night when they could not see their fingers, the Takeda family warriors who had been holding on for three months huddled in the arrow oars sheltered from the wind and took a nap.  Not noticing the subtle movements of Babaze, the 13,000-strong soldier with his horse's wrapped hooves quietly touched the woods not far outside Ohorikan.  After waiting patiently for half an hour, the torches in several arrow oars near the Ohori Hall were extinguished one after another. After a while, they lit up again. This time, the torches were a little weird. The newly lit torches shook back and forth. Miyabe continued.  Seeing this, Jun shouted and rushed into the Ohori Hall, which was only a short distance away, with brisk steps.  The Otemon gate that had blocked Kira's army countless times suddenly opened a gap. It turned out that the Togakure ninja had successfully assassinated the soldiers patrolling nearby and secretly opened the gate. Miyabe Tsugujun led the two armies into the Ohorikan without much hesitation and was caught off guard.  The Takeda defenders were immediately breached the castle, and the city lord Ogiwara Masaaki was executed by the Kira ninjas in his sleep. In less than half an hour, a fortified city with 3,000 defenders was captured.  Then the follow-up main forces poured into Ohori Hall one after another. Miyabe Tsurujun received the order to continue to seize the city, so he rushed to Hirota Village with his reserve team non-stop, taking advantage of the defenders being unprepared to capture the city again.  When Miyabe Tsurujun's army rushed into Yokota Castle, the lord of Yokota Castle, Imai Nobumasa, was so startled that he woke up in time. Facing the Kira army coming from all directions, he chose to show his strength to Mount Chausu by burning the castle tower himself in an extreme way.  A raging fire was so conspicuous in the dark night. The Takeda Army on Chasu Mountain quickly discovered the military situation. Takeda Harunobu was awakened from his sleep by the members of the group. He hurriedly put on his coat and stared at the blazing flames in the distance. He was stunned. Except for the people under the mountain.  Everything outside the fire was so dark that it was difficult to see the specific situation, but the faint screams were real.  "No! Yokota City is the closest to Chasu Mountain. Yokota City is on fire but the other two cities are silent. The three cities must have been lost! But I don't know how many defeated troops have retreated. We must do our best to save these defeated troops.  Army!" Takeda Harunobu immediately made the decision to dispatch the army to rescue the defeated army.  Nagasaka Mitsukane stopped Takeda Harunobu and shouted loudly: "My lord! You must not do this! Go and see how the military strength of this formation is shaken. Once the three cities are lost, we will have no place to stand. The only solution for now is to be quick."  Retreat immediately!" Iito Tomasa pushed away the thin Nagasaka Mitsuken and said sternly: "Nagasaka Tsukugoshou, please pay attention to what you are saying! Are you trying to accuse the lord of injustice?"  It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know who the Takeda family is,The current plan should be to save the defeated army in time before making a decision!  " Takeda Harunobu hesitated for a moment and then fell silent. It was absolutely impossible for him to abandon the samurai and retreat in embarrassment. Saku County fell into the enemy's hands. If he retreated, he would give up half of Shinano's country. The unwilling Tiger of Kai was determined  Trying to give it another try, Ichiru pretended not to see the eager look in Komai Masatake's eyes. Seeing this, several members of the clan simply swarmed up and pushed aside the weak Shodai, and swaggeringly escorted Takeda Harunobu out of the hall.  When he opened the tent, Masaki Komai jumped to his feet angrily and cursed: "That idiot Ito Homasa is harming others and himself!  If these sycophants like Iito Homasa are not eliminated, our Takeda family will never have peace!  " "Gao Baizhai, don't be depressed. Now we have no choice but to sacrifice our lives and fight. Let's quickly follow the Lord's main formation!"  "Atobe Nobuaki urged his colleagues to catch up quickly. The 12,000 troops of Takeda Army's main formation hurriedly set out and headed straight for Yokota Castle. On the dark night of the evil day, the two armies collided again on the dark Hachimangahara.  Together, the vanguard of the Takeda Army is Takeda Chibei led by Iitomi Genshiro Masokage. Iitomi Masakage has never encountered Takigawa Tokiyoshi. He can't help but feel angry when he sees the Takeda Army who committed suicide crying and abandoning his helmet. With his bravery and  Confidently, he bumped into Kira Chibei. It happened that Kira Chibei was chasing and retreating from Yokota Castle. The Takeda army was unprepared. Kira Chibei rushed over and fought in a group. Although Kira Chibei was suddenly attacked, he was not panicked.  , under the command of the general, the knights of each team covered each other and gradually distanced themselves. Iitomi Masakage saw Kira Akabi turning around and retreating, thinking that they were afraid, and coldly snorted, and a fierce roar erupted from his thin body: "Ask for Takigawa  Those who are good at the time will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and those who know how to do it will be rewarded with a hundred steps. But if you are brave enough to rush over with me, today's achievements will all depend on this!  " Takigawa Shiyi was suddenly startled when he heard the shouts in the distance. He thought to himself that I haven't even thought about beating you to start laughing. Then he shouted: "What a great Takeda Chibi, you really dare to celebrate with me.  Jiro is a fighting man!  Sons and gentlemen, please listen to the generals and follow me to kill the enemy general!  My job as a samurai is to make a living with blood on the edge of my sword. Today's achievement depends entirely on coming and getting it right away. Follow me and charge!  " The two thousand knights of Kira Akabi agreed in unison like tigers roaring in the mountains. Takeda Akibi was shocked and felt a chill in his heart. Masakage Iifomi was slightly dazed, knowing that the methods of this general were definitely not just a fool who gained a reputation, so he immediately  He didn't dare to neglect and cheered up, commanding more than a hundred elite cavalrymen to surround Takigawa Shiyi in a semicircle. Takigawa Shiyi saw a red-armored cavalryman charging towards him, followed by a Takeda four-ribbed flag.  He ignored the enemy general, so he ignored the oncoming Takeda Akabi warriors on horseback, shouted loudly, clamped the horse's belly and rushed towards him. In front of the seven or eight Takeda Akabi opposite, he raised his hand and waved, and the big spear was as fierce as a long dragon.  Sweeping hard at their heads, the Takeda Chibei rushed forward in such a hurry that they did not expect that Takigawa Tokiyoshi would come directly to meet them. For a moment, they could not hold back their momentum and were cut into their vulnerable bodies by this inevitable attack.  The throat chakra swept across their necks, and Yin Hong's bloodshot spurted out with a hissing sound. Several warriors on horseback were killed by the gun before they showed even 100% of their bravery. The next moment, Takigawa  Masuzu had already slipped through the gap between the fallen samurai, wielding the big blood-red spear like a tiger, and died when he came down from the mountain. Takeda Chibei had never seen such a powerful enemy. Not only was he tall and mammoth, he looked like a monster.  The monster power is endless. He swung the big gun like a mace and smashed it. The iron-clad man was smashed to the point of vomiting blood even if he tried to grab it. Then, even the war horse was shocked and his nose spurted blood. He was so unreasonable and ruthless.  After a while, it seemed that he was tired of wielding, and he switched to another set of spear skills. Each of the Zhu Qian pens hit the throat chakra and brought up a bright red blood flower, scurrying back and forth like a swimming fish.  He was as leisurely and lazy as he was walking in a leisurely courtyard. It was as if he was entering a deserted place and no one among the thousands of soldiers dared to challenge him. Seeing this situation, Fan Fu Changjing dared to stay and die, even his generals.  Before being notified, he took the flag and ran straight to the west to escape. More than two hundred of Takeda's elites, who had been sworn just now, died in just a moment. General Takeda Jimmy looked around and realized that the general had turned around and retreated, but he still dared to meet him.  The enemy whistled and ran away with a whoosh like a loose wild horse. The situation was completely one-sided for the same two thousand troops, which was completely beyond Takigawa Shiyi's expectation. Seeing Iitomu Masaki running away in the distance,  He curled his lips disapprovingly and laughed, "Is that Chibei of the Takeda family?  It seems nothing more than that!  I thought that the general of this army was also a man, but he didn't want to run away without even showing his face. How dare he call himself Chi Bei with such courage?  Don't let such villains tarnish my reputation as Chi Bei!  ¡± Kira Chibei¡¯s fight this way was not done by a simple car. They brought the iron artillery team to the main battlefield of Yokota City. What they are competing for now is how fast the two sides are. Today¡¯s Chibei is not what it used to be. One man and two horses.  Elites have stronger endurance and can carry friendly troops to launch raids at critical moments.Takikawa Tokiyoshi still wanted to pursue him. What was helpless was that the Takeda family responded very quickly. More than ten thousand troops rushed over with a rumble. Unfortunately, he did not expect it to be so smooth before going out. Kira Akabi rushed deep into Fushi Shinoi alone.  With no cover in front of the formation and lack of support behind him, Kira Chibei did not dare to fight, reined in his troops and retreated slowly, and Takeda Harunobu also took the formation back to Chasu Mountain when he saw the situation was good.  In addition to the cavalry collision on the main battlefield, the battle between the Takeda defenders in the three castles lasted until daybreak on September 30. The remaining defenders of the three castles knew that no more reinforcements would come.  They all gave up the idea of ??stubborn resistance and walked out of the house to wait for the prisoners, which also made Kirajun, who had been nervous for most of the night, relax.  This time, more than 4,000 people were captured, 800 were killed and more than 3,000 escaped. The main reason was that in the middle of the night and the dark wind, it was difficult to see what was going on outside. Some of the defenders risked their lives and rushed out to stop them, but the Kira Legion's pursuit  There were also many worries, and in the end, the opportunity to expand the results was missed.  Overall, it was a good record. Miyabe Tsurujun, who was in the vanguard, captured three cities in a row without stopping, which was a great achievement. Yoshitoki Kira called him over to give him special praise and promised to give him some merit if he had greater achievements.  Just after daybreak, Takeda Nobushige's messengers were scattered on the Hachimangahara. In the middle of the night, the shouts of killing on the Hachimangahara were heard clearly by Takeda Nobushige's team on the other side. Several impatient samurai ran to the big tent to ask for a fight.  He sent them all back to sleep. It was a dark day, dark and windy, and they couldn't even see the scenery in the distance. What to do to rescue them.  If we rashly rush to Hachimangahara with eight thousand main force and run headlong into the Kira Army's main formation, we will not only make a joke, but also kill people. At least we have to endure it until dawn and quickly send someone to inquire about the news. When we learn about Hachimangahara,  The three fortresses were changed overnight and I was so shocked that I was speechless for a long time.  Sanada Yukitaka saw that he had a serious look on his face and had not said a word for a long time, so he explained: "Don't panic in the Toimama Palace. All we can do now is to capture this Kaijin Castle. After capturing this city, we will imitate the Hojo family's strategy and use the prisoners as hostages."  Exchange the prisoners of the three cities, and then negotiate for peace. If this city is not destroyed, everything will be over. We will not even think about the Senkuma River, so we can find out that the Kira Navy's ships are widely used to control Hachimangahara.  There are several important fords and ferries nearby. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find out the news next time." Takeda Nobushige shook his head as if he didn't care, and then said seriously: "I'm not panicking, I'm just worried about the difficulty of the family business.  As soon as Saito Asanobu entered Saku County, the news was intermittently unavailable. I wonder if the defenders in the rear can withstand Echigo Zhongkui's attack. As long as they are clear-headed and defend the city, the three thousand cavalry will also take care of me in the short term.  There is no way." "The Kira army will probably not continue to attack today. No matter what, we have to be the first to capture Kaijin Castle. I will leave it to you this time!" Sanada Yukitaka chose to avoid talking to Saku County.  It's because he knows better than anyone else what kind of stragglers the countrymen are in the absence of Sakugun Dai Oyamada Masatatsu. He doesn't say it now because he's afraid that Takeda Nobushige will be even more worried in case he decides to withdraw at all costs.  When Chausu Mountain joins the main formation, Sanada Yukitaka's military exploits this time will be ruined.  Takeda Nobunagashi's army used its main force and once again used the magic weapon of the civilians to assist Kaizu Castle. Eight thousand soldiers led four thousand civilians and rushed over. The sound of the gold diggers digging with all their strength reached the Kira Army's main camp in Ohorikan. Since midnight, Kira  Since the army landed at Ohorikan, Yoshiki Kira has not left here even half a step. He single-handedly commanded to strangle the remaining defenders, organize the defense and prepare for the battle ahead, and has been busy for half a night taking stock of the food and equipment in the city. He just squinted for a while when he heard  The sound of killing came from far away.  "How long can Kaijin Castle hold up?" Hattori Masashige appeared at the door of the tent, leaned down and replied respectfully: "The Murakami Habayashi Temple said it can still last for three days, but please make preparations in advance to prevent any unexpected events.  "Three days? I think it's good if he can survive today!" Kira Yoshishi smiled and shook his head: "This Sanada Yukitaka is so courageous, but it's a pity that he is so cheap!"  He killed the Takeda family! Murakami Habayashi did a good job. If it were other samurai who guarded this city, I'm afraid this city would have been captured long ago. I have to save him and let the boys rest well. There will be a fight tonight.  A night battle! " As soon as it got dark on September 30th, the main force of Kira's army left the three ruined castles and disappeared into the wilderness of Hachimanhara. At about midnight, there was a burst of noise from Nemose on the south side of Hachimanhara.  Looking down from Mount Chasusu, nearly ten thousand torches could be seen flickering like sparks. The Takeda Army was shocked and immediately realized that this was the Kira Army advancing towards the Takeda Nobushige Army on the south bank of the Chikuma River. Once the Kira family let the Kira family  The consequences of defeating Takeda Nobushige's team would be disastrous. Takeda Harunobu knew that this battle was inevitable.  (To be continued.)
