I saw that the Takayama family ashigaru held the weapons in their hands tightly, staring intently at the enemy who was slowly approaching the city, waiting for the order from the middle man.

200 meters, 150 meters...... When the enemy forces outside the city approached to a distance of about a hundred meters. I saw Nanmu Zhenghu violently pull out the knife on his waist and shouted: "Attack!" Those who rush into the city first will be rewarded for the Takayama clan. ”

After Nanmu Zhenghu shouted, he should have rushed to the front first, but he did not charge on horseback, but also approached the direction of the city as slowly as he did just now, not only him, but even the elite of the Matsunaga family under his command also maintained the speed just now, and only those peasant soldiers without armor and armed with bamboo guns rushed towards the city.

And after the frontal charge, the other three sides also gave the order to attack the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the enemy had rushed to the firing range, Omiya Keiren immediately gave an order. As his words fell, only to hear the sound of "swish" ringing from his ears, after the first round of shooting, the heavy vine bowashigaru did not hesitate, and pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring, Omiya Keiren saw that his subordinate Ashigaru was ready, and immediately ordered, he knew that the faster he ordered, the more times he released the arrow, and the greater the casualties caused to the enemy.

As before, when the second round of arrow rain passed, I saw that the peasant soldiers outside the city began to turn around and run again, but when they turned around, they found that they were greeted by the cold and shining blades of guns.

"Give me an attack, don't retreat, those who retreat will be killed!" I saw that the elite of the Matsunaga family, which was about 100 meters away from Takasaki City, lined up, and Nanmu Zhenghu shouted while holding a sword in his hand and slashed at the peasant soldiers who began to flee.

When those peasant soldiers saw this, they dared to continue to escape, so they had to turn back. With the arrows in his head, he continued to rush towards Takasaki Castle.

Seeing that the enemy outside the city turned around and rushed towards the city, Omiya Jinglian wanted to save time. Therefore, I no longer wait for the heavy vine bow and foot light under my command to be ready before giving orders. Instead, he began to let them shoot freely, and he himself took his bow from his shoulder, mounted his arrows, and began to shoot at the inferior samurai who were leading the way among the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy attacking from the front was after losing dozens of ashigaru. has rushed to a distance of more than thirty meters, and Sugitani Zenjubo really didn't expect that there would be a chance for the iron cannon to perform at the beginning. I saw him excitedly and shouted an order: "Target the enemy outside the city, fire!" ”

When the sound of iron cannon fire sounded, although due to the small number of people. In addition, the current iron cannon is not very accurate. So it didn't bring many casualties to the enemy at all, but even so, the fear caused to those peasants was undoubtedly enormous.

When the iron cannon sounded, the peasants and soldiers on all sides couldn't help but be stunned. They had never seen such a weapon that could make a loud noise and emit black smoke. It's horrible.

I was stunned for a moment, and when another round of arrow rain hit, I saw those peasant soldiers fleeing backwards uncontrollably, and this time even if the Matsunaga army killed the fleeing army, it was uncontrollable.

Seeing that the way out behind them had been sealed, the peasants immediately changed direction and fled to both sides, this time not planning to return to the camp, but fleeing directly to their homes, and they no longer wanted to fight against the terrible army.

In the camp, after receiving the battle report from the front, Matsunaga Xiu couldn't help but be furious again, but now that the troops under the command of those wealthy clans have fled, the idea of borrowing them to consume the projectiles and arrows of the Alpine army is a complete failure.

However, those wealthy samurai were overjoyed in their hearts, and now in their eyes, Matsunaga Shu was much more hateful than the Takayama clan, and the peasants and soldiers did not suffer too many casualties, which also made them feel relieved. …,

Peasants and peasants, most of the time they still have to work in the fields, and if they suffer heavy losses, then next year, who will go to farm and what will they eat.

After Scolding, Matsunaga Xiu saw that these hateful wealthy clans in front of him were no longer of any use, and couldn't help yelling at them: "Get out, get out of the way." ”

The samurai of the wealthy clan are still eager to leave here, but after all, Matsunaga Shu is an important minister of the Miyoshi family, with more than 300,000 stone of Yamato Country, and he is just a small wealthy family with only a few thousand stones, so it can be said that no matter how much Matsunaga Shu insults himself, he can only listen.

After Matsunaga Xiu finished speaking, he saw that all the warriors of the wealthy clan stood up one after another, and after saying goodbye, they quickly left the big tent and galloped towards their own territory.

Matsunaga Xiu sat on the throne and kept panting, and the retainers under his command saw that the lord did not announce the dissolution of the meeting, so he could only sit there willingly, not daring to make any sound, nor daring to make any movements, for fear of disturbing the lord and letting the lord vent the anger in his heart on himself.

It took a long time for Matsunaga to calm down a little.

He couldn't help but think that since others can't rely on it, then he can only rely on himself, although Gaoqi City ** has seven or eight hundred troops, but in his opinion, those troops of the Isshiki family have no effect at all, and the real combat effectiveness is still those remnants of the Gaoshan clan, so it seems that the army under his command is three times that of the Gaoshan army, and the army is also elite, even if he really attacks the city, the chance of victory is still very great.

Now that Matsunaga Hideki has already forgotten about the loss, and the battle has been going on until now, if he gives up like this, he is really unwilling, and after he defects to the Oda family, it will not be good for his own development.

Even if he suffered heavy losses this time, as long as he annihilated the Takayama army and killed the Takayama clan, then the army under his command would still be the strongest among the Oda family.

Thinking of this, I only heard Matsunaga Xiu speak: "Since those wastes can't be counted on, then let the enemy see the strong strength of my Matsunaga family." ”

After he finished speaking, he only heard Toki Raiji hurriedly said: "Lord, the Gaoshan army can block the attack of the army's strength in the absence of a city to defend, and now there is a city to defend, even if the family can capture the city, it will inevitably suffer huge losses, and it is not a good strategy to fight with the enemy, and the subordinates think that it is better to besiege the city and trap the Gaoshan army, the scale of this Gaoqi City is not very large, and the stone height of the Isshiki family is also limited, and there are suddenly hundreds of troops in the city, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the city will not last long, and at that time, the Gaoshan army can only go out of the city." If the family wants to win, it will be much easier, this is a foolish opinion of the subordinates, and please decide the lord. ”

After he finished speaking, he only heard Takayama Yuzhao echo casually: "Lord, what Lord Toki said is reasonable, it is really not suitable to fight with the Takayama Army at present, and please ask the lord to decide." ”

"Please think twice." The other retainers also spoke.

"You don't have to say any more, I've made up my mind, let's all go down and prepare."
