Chapter 430: The Grasshopper Shakes the Tree
Seeing that it was impossible for the three of them to listen to their own persuasion, Miyoshi Kang couldn't help but sigh again and again. *.*.*/*【Shrimp Literature.xiamiwenxue.】 Looking at the army that had been assembled at the gate of the castle tower, he thought to himself, if only these fifty ashigaru rushed to kill the out, then there was no doubt that it would have no effect, it was just a waste of death, rather than letting them go out of the castle for nothing, then it would be better to help them with another 150 troops, and make up the number of two hundred, maybe they could really take the Takayama clan to the city.
Moreover, I am afraid that it will not take half an hour for the reinforcements to return, even if all these 200 troops are killed, then with the remaining 300 troops, he should be able to hold the castle tower.
Thinking of this, Miyoshi Yasucho saw that the three warriors were about to lead his subordinates to rush out of the city, so he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said, "Three adults, slow down. ”
When the three samurai saw Miyoshi Yasunaga speak, they thought that he was going to continue to persuade, so without waiting for him to explain, they said: "No matter how Miyoshi persuades, it can't change our mind, my lord doesn't need to say much, the three of us are willing to bear all the consequences, even if they die." ”
"I am willing to send one hundred and fifty troops to help the three adults."
After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned, they really didn't expect that Miyoshi Yasucho would let go, and also sent troops to help, so that the army led by himself has reached two hundred, which is comparable to the number of enemies outside the castle tower, and he launched an attack unexpectedly, and the success of the grasp has greatly increased, and it should not be a difficult thing to kill the Takayama clan.
Soon another 150 troops had been assembled at the entrance. In order to prevent the Takayama army outside the castle tower from hearing the conversation of himself and the others, they were prepared, so they all kept their voices down.
I only heard one of the samurai instruct to the two hundred ashigaru: "The goal of this battle is to win the Takayama clan, so don't entangle with the enemy, okay, let's go!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw that the shield standing at the entrance of the castle tower was immediately removed, and 200 ashigaru, led by three samurai, rushed out of the mountain army dozens of meters away.
Sugitani Zenjubo, who had been staring intently at the movement of the enemy troops in the castle tower, saw that the enemy finally made a move. I couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Lord, the enemy has rushed out." ”
At this moment, the clan and Sanada Masayuki were looking at the map intently, talking about this next move, and when he heard the cry of Sugitani's Zenjubo, he raised his head, first glanced at the enemy who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and then said lightly: "Oh, I know the way." 【Shrimp Literature.xiamiwenxue.]" After speaking. I saw that the clan lowered his head again and ignored it again. The defenders of this rice city really didn't interest him in anything.
And Omiya Jingren saw that the lord had left the battle to himself and Sugiya Zenjubo in charge, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and this time he said that he would show his strength in front of the lord.
When the heavy vine bow and iron cannon ashigaru were arrayed, in order to prevent the enemy from being condescending and increasing the firing range, they did not line up at a distance of 50 meters as before, but moved back 20 meters and set up a formation at a distance of 70 meters from the castle tower, although this distance. It's beyond the range of the iron cannon ashigaru, but it's within the effective range of the heavy vine bow ashigaru.
Originally, when Omiya Keiren saw that the enemy had just rushed out of the castle tower, he wanted to order his subordinates to release arrows, but at the moment when he was about to give the order, it suddenly occurred to him that if he released the arrows now. In the unlikely event that the enemy retreats to the castle tower immediately after suffering casualties, how can he make a great contribution?
In this way, even if one of the enemies is hit by an arrow. Thus withdrawing again, the heavy vine bow ashigaru can also calmly shoot the second arrow. This will allow you to shoot more enemies. …,
Since the enemy rushed out of the castle tower, when Omiya Keiren thought about this. The enemy had already rushed to a distance of about fifty meters, and at this moment, Sugitani Zenjubo gave the order to shoot first.
I only heard the loud sound of "bang bang bang" coming from the formation of the high mountain army, because the enemy was not within the effective firing range, so after this salvo, less than ten people of the Miyoshi army who rushed out fell to the ground, and there were few screams.
Moreover, the Miyoshi family has controlled the rich land of for many years, and it is not far from the prosperous Kaimachi, so even the Ashigaru of the Miyoshi family is quite knowledgeable, and when Sugitani Zenjubo commanded the ashigaru to shoot, the Miyoshi family Ashigaru did not retreat like other powerful ashigaru, or froze in place, but accelerated and rushed forward.
They all know that after the iron cannon is fired, it is very troublesome to reload, as long as they can take advantage of this time to rush in front of the enemy, then it can be said that they have basically achieved victory.
Seeing this, the three samurai couldn't help but look down on the mountain army in front of them, if the mountain army only had this ability, then it would not be difficult to defeat them at all, fortunately I didn't listen to the persuasion of Miyoshi Yasunaga just now, otherwise I would never be able to raise my head.
The reason why Sugitani Zenjubo ordered his iron cannon Ashigaru to shoot in advance, he thought that the enemy in front of him would be frightened like Ashigaru who had fought with him before after hearing the loud sound of the iron cannon, and Omiya Keiren and his command Ashigaru could play calmly, he was originally out of good intentions, but he didn't expect that the enemy not only did not freeze in place, but sped up, which made him feel very surprised, so he ordered the iron cannon Ashigaru to immediately reload the projectile, and smiled awkwardly at Omiya Keiren, I would like to apologize.
But he didn't feel panicked, even if the enemy really rushed in front of him, he was not afraid, and now the iron cannon Ashigaru under his command also has melee ability after being equipped with iron thorns, and he has a lot of training for them in this area, so he is not afraid of even melee combat with the enemy, and the iron cannon Ashigaru had no chance of melee combat at all before, so he also wants to see the results of his training.
And Omiya Jingren saw that the enemy had increased his speed, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Release the arrows, release the arrows, don't let go of an enemy." ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw a hundred sharp arrows all off the string and slashed through the sky, heading straight for the enemy.
Just listen to "poof, puff." After the sound, a hundred sharp arrows were inserted into the bodies of more than 20 enemies, and all this did not end there, after this round of arrow rain, followed by another round, and this time more than 20 Ashigaru were killed, and before the third round was shot, I saw that the enemy finally could not withstand such a blow, and they all turned around and ran in the direction of the castle tower.
They have seen iron cannons, but they have never seen bows and arrows with such power, what they can touch is nothing more than bamboo bows and maruki bows, the range of these two bows, not to mention the distance of more than forty meters, even if it reaches thirty meters, there is no power, so before launching a charge, if they are still a little afraid of the iron cannon in the hands of the enemy, the remaining hundred bows are light, they don't pay attention to it at all.
But it was this bowfoot light team that they didn't pay attention to, but it made them feel terrifying. Now they have only one thought in their minds, and that is to run back to the castle tower, and only by running back can they save their lives.
And the three samurai saw that the army under their command had begun to retreat, and they couldn't help but feel very anxious, and now they saw that there was still a distance of more than 30 meters to meet the enemy, so they were absolutely unwilling to give up, and even if they died, they were not willing to return to the castle tower and make themselves the laughing stock of others.
Thinking of this, I saw that the three warriors hurriedly stopped the rest of the army from fleeing. "As long as I can resist the enemy's attack, I will win, and after the victory, I promise you that I will give you a rich reward and rush with me." …,
"Bang bang bang" After another round of iron cannon salvo, Sugitani Zenjubo saw that the enemy still did not retreat, and the distance between the two armies was no longer enough to conduct another salvo, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinate Ashigaru to mount bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
And Omiya Keiren has already commanded Shigeto to shoot a round of bows, because the enemy has approached a distance of more than twenty meters, so the casualties caused by this salvo to the enemy are more than the previous two, when the arrow rain falls on the stone, more than 30 enemies fell in a pool of blood, if it is just by relying on the reward to support the Miyoshi family Ashigaru to continue the attack, then since this round of arrow rain, there is nothing to impress them.
No matter how the three samurai tried to stop them, they didn't stop running towards the castle tower, but even if they ran away, it would be useless, the range of the heavy wisteria bow was far beyond their imagination, and they thought that they were safe when they were more than fifty meters away from the enemy, but when the fourth round of arrows fell, they realized that they were afraid that only by entering the castle tower could they be considered truly safe.
Shimiya Keishigaru is still shooting arrows, because the enemy has run farther and farther, it is too late to shoot a salvo, so Omiya Kei Renren is attacked at will by his subordinates, and he himself is focusing on the three samurai, because these three people rushed to the front just now, so now they have become the most behind the team, Omiya Keiren couldn't help but think that although this time his heavy wisteria arch Ashigaru shot a large number of ashigaru, but he didn't do anything, he wanted to prove his strength to the Takayama family's retainers, Isn't that the perfect opportunity? Thinking of this, Omiya Jingren no longer hesitated, and immediately pulled out three feather arrows from the quiver and placed them on the bowstring, only to see him take aim at the three enemy samurai with the flat end of the heavy rattan bow in his hand.
He wants to use this battle to show the world, to the lord, and to the important ministers of the Takayama family that he is by no means a useless person, so let this battle become his famous battle.
