Early the next morning, when the sky was still dawning, the Tsugawa family Ashigaru outside the Yamamoto Pavilion had already finished breakfast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then, under the order of Akechi Mitsuhisa, a force of nearly 1,000 people began to advance rapidly towards Yamamotokan. Before approaching the castle walls of Yamamotokan, the forces of the Tsukawa family suddenly divided into three groups, one of which was the Hao clan led by Hideji Igome and Miura Moriki, and attacked the east side of Yamamotokan head-on. The other two armies were Ashigaru led by Masashiro Tozawa and Moritsuna Tozawa respectively, attacking the flanks of Yamamotokan from the south and the north.

The Tsukawa family's attack was not small, and the Akira family Ashigaru in the Yamamoto Museum also noticed the movement of the Tsugawa family, and suddenly the Anton family in the city was ready, standing in the castle tower and waiting for the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru.

Shimizu Masayoshi and the others also rushed to the castle tower, and looking at the movements of the Tsugawa family outside the city, Shimizu Masayoshi opened his mouth and said, "Today, Akechi Mitsuhisa is going to launch a general attack on our Yamamoto Pavilion." It's okay to fight off the wise light as soon as possible, and it is also a fierce blow to the Tsugawa family! ”

"Lord Shimizu, look, the enemy army has divided its forces." At this time, Jiacheng Jiqing said loudly to Shimizu Masayoshi.

Shimizu Masayoshi hurriedly turned his head to look outside the city, and just saw the scene where the Tsugawa family's troops were divided into three, and he couldn't help but sketch a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The Tsukawa family has taken the bait!" Shimizu Masayoshi said with a smile, "Order, let the enemy get close to the castle first, and when the ashigaru on the north and south sides of the enemy army begins to climb the castle wall, Musashi Kojiro will lead the archers of the castle lord to release arrows!" I want the people of the Tsugawa family to know that Yamamotokan is not so easy to attack! ”

"Hah!"

"Lord Jiacheng, most of the archers in the city are located in the south, and the defense in the north is relatively weak, so the warriors of the Jiacheng family will be responsible for guarding the city wall in the north!" Shimizu Masayoshi continued.

"Hah!" Jiacheng Jiqing did not hesitate to receive the order.

At this time, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru also began to attack the Yamamotokan.

The first to attack was not Ashigaru under Hideharu Igome and others, but the Tozawa Moritsuna team. At this time, the Hideji Igme team and the Ashigaru of the Miura Moriki team were still struggling to get through the low-lying area outside the castle, and there was still a certain distance from the castle wall.

The Tozawa Moritsuna team was responsible for attacking the south side of the Yamamoto Building, and since the Kamiwagawa River passed next to the Yamamoto Building, there was only one narrow place here where the Tozawa Moritsuna lined up in formation.

Tozawa Moritsuna pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted loudly, "Everyone, give it to me!" Those who are the first to climb the castle tower will be rewarded with 10 yuan! ”

"Wow!" Motivated by the 10 kan money, the ashigaru of Tozawa Moritsuna's team suddenly shouted one by one and began to climb the southern wall. Otaka Castle is the castle occupied earlier by the Tsugawa family, so nearly half of the Ashigaru of the Tozawa Moritsuna team are standing ashigaru, and although the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Akechi Mitsuhisa's Shirabi, it is still stronger than the general Ashigaru team.

The first to attack the castle walls was the 1st Squadron of the Otakajo Garrison, and the head of the ashigaru was a young samurai named Hikaru Shitashi, who was originally a ronin who was promoted to the rank of ashigaru after several major battles, and was the strongest samurai in the Great Castle in the art of war.

The 50 ashigaru soldiers under the command of the Shita clan began to slowly climb the castle walls, and although the terrain of the Yamamoto Building was strange, the castle walls were indeed made of civil engineering. The bottom layer is an earthen mound, and a row of wooden mounds is built on it, and the climb is relatively smooth.

It didn't take long for Shi Tashi to take the lead in climbing the castle tower, and seven or eight ashigaru behind him also climbed up the castle tower. Looking at the dozens of Anton's ashigaru in front of him, Shi Tashi licked his lips, and a touch of red burst out of his eyes.

"Kill!" Shi Tashi Hikaru suddenly screamed and rushed towards the nearest ashikatsu, but the other party was slashed to the ground by Shi Ta Shiguang before he could react. After the first blow was successful, Shi Tashi Hikaru did not stop, but rushed towards the other samurai again.

The brave and heroic posture of the Shita clan inspired the Tsugawa family, who continued to climb the castle tower behind him, and suddenly more than a dozen ashigaru began to fight with the Anto family ashigaru who came to resist.

Guarding the south of the Yamamoto building is the Kiniwa Hiromu team, who is standing behind Ashigaru and observing the situation on the battlefield, and he can't help but clench his hands when he sees the stone tower light on the battlefield constantly harvesting his own Ashigaru's life. But as soon as he thought of the plan to be implemented next, Xiting Guangwu forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Let you be excited for a while, and you won't have a chance later!" Xiting Guangwu thought to himself in his heart.

It didn't take long for more and more Tsugawa family ashigaru to climb the castle tower, not knowing if the Tsugawa family's combat power was too strong, or if the Ando family was too incompetent. Looking at the increasing number of ashigaru behind him, Shi Ta Shiguang, who was fighting, immediately shouted loudly, "In a group of three, seize all parts of the castle tower and cover the rest of the ashigaru!" ”

"Takajiro, Heisuke, each of you will lead a team to attack the enemy's flank!" Shi Tashi Hikaru then spoke to the two leading samurai under his command.

"Hah!" As soon as the words fell, Takajiro and the two of them each led a small team of Ashigaru and began to circle around the two sides of the Kiwa Hiromu team, with the obvious intention, that is, to contain the Kitewa Hiromu team and prevent it from dividing its troops to support the battle at the castle tower, so that the Tsugawa family Ashigaru outside the city could successfully ascend the castle tower.

Xiting Hiroshi was not panicked when he saw this situation, because he was eager for the Tsugawa family on the castle tower to be more and more at the moment.

After another quarter of an hour, the second squadron of Ashigaru also slowly climbed the castle tower. The castle tower on the south side of the Yamamoto Building is densely packed with the Ashigaru of the Tsukawa family.

Seeing that the time was ripe, a thick smile immediately appeared on the face of Hiroshi Xiting, who was standing in the rear, and then shouted loudly, "Kojiro, release the arrow!" ”

Shi Ta Shiguang, who was fighting in the formation, suddenly heard Xiting Guangwu's words, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and before Shi Ta Shiguang could react, the situation on the field suddenly changed drastically.

I saw that dozens of archers suddenly appeared on the originally empty platform on the wall south of the Yamamoto Building, aiming at themselves and others with bows and arrows.

Musashi Kojiro controlled the direction of the bow and arrow in his hand and said loudly, "Release the arrow!" Rapid shooting! After speaking, his right hand suddenly loosened, and the arrow in his hand flew towards an unaware Tsugawa family ashigaru. The feather arrow pierced directly through the gap in the Ashigaru bucket and fell unwillingly.

As the archers under the command of Musashi Kojiro continued to shoot, the Tsugawa family around the castle tower suddenly became a target. The castle tower was already empty, and the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family was all surrounded here, so under the dense crowd, you didn't even need to aim to shoot people.

Fortunately, at this time, most of the Tsugawa family ashigaru on the castle tower are standing ashigaru, and they are wearing bucket river pockets and array hats, and relatively speaking, the protective measures are still relatively in place. Some of the archery techniques, even if they were shot, were bounced off or only shallow stuck in the bucket pocket.

But even so, in just a few rounds of shooting, more than a dozen casualties of the Tsukawa family were killed.
