Chapter 281: Battle of Omori Castle

Onodera Uemichi woke up, and he was forcibly woken up by Michiko Yaukawa. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Onodera Uemichi didn't have time to get angry at all, because a sentence from Ugawa Michishi made Onodera Uemichi fall into a state of brain failure.

"My lord! Oh no, the Tsukawa family is under Omori Castle! Ugawa Michiko said in a panic.

"What?" Onodera Uemichi let out an exclamation and said in disbelief, "How could the people of the Tsugawa family suddenly kill the castle?" Will they fly? ”

Michishi Yatsukawa replied, "It was the wooden bridge outside the castle that was lost, and the Tsugawa family attacked the small wooden bridge at night. Lord Nitame has returned to Omori Castle with a defeated army, Matsuoka-sama has been killed in battle, and the people of the Tsugawa family have now surrounded Omori Castle! ”

"Bastard!" Onodera Uemichi had already lost his sleepiness at this time, and roared, "Waste! It's all a bunch of rubbish! ”

"Gather your family's forces in the city and prepare for battle!" It is already impossible to escape in such a situation as Onodera Uemichi, not to mention that Omori Castle has been surrounded. Even if Onodera Uemichi escapes from Omori Castle by luck, the Tsugawa family has a horse riding team, and they will easily catch up with him.

If you encounter the cavalry of the Tsugawa family in the field, you will definitely die. On the contrary, if you rely on Omori Castle for defense, there may be a chance of survival. After all, if there is no accident with the reinforcements of Owada Mitsumi and Yokote Mitsumori, they will be able to arrive at Omori Castle tomorrow and the morning after tomorrow at the latest.

As long as you can hold Omori Castle for a day and a night, then the situation will improve.

By the time the dawn sun began to shine on the land, the atmosphere of Omori Castle was already extremely solemn.

The Ashigaru of the Onodera family looked at the impenetrable Tsugawa family's troops outside the castle that surrounded Omori Castle in a panic, and they couldn't raise the slightest battle intent at all.

Omori Castle is just a flat castle built in a low-lying area on the banks of the Omono River, and it is not very large, but there are only two to pills. Even the castle walls are just a row of wooden walls, and the Onodera family's Ashigaru is unsure about whether they can hold Omori Castle.

Outside Omori Castle, the Tsugawa family is in the main camp.

Soji Tsugawa looked at Omori Castle not far away, and said to the retainers beside him, "Everyone, we have surrounded Omori Castle. Who wants to launch the first offensive? ”

"My lord, your majesty has asked to go to war?" Ichiro Yamamoto on the side yelled loudly.

Ichiro Yamamoto is now desperate to show his attitude, after all, Yamamoto Ichiro insisted on a truce with the Onodera family before. The current situation is unusually favorable to the Tsugawa family, and Ichiro Yamamoto is unwilling to let go of this opportunity to prove himself.

Seeing that Ichiro Yamamoto took the initiative to fight, Soji Tsugawa nodded and said with a smile, "Okay!" Ichiro Yamamoto, you immediately launch an attack on Omori Castle with your troops! ”

"Hah!" Ichiro Yamamoto replied loudly.

Tsugawa Soji then said to Totoki Yoshimori and Tozawa Moriyoshi on the side, "Totoki Yoshimori, Tozawa Moriyoshi, the troops under your command were busy all night last night, now you let Ashigaru repair it first." ”

"Hah!"

"Shuichiro Yanagi, Nobita, the two of you lead the team to support Ichiro Yamamoto, and respond from the side!" Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!"

Not long after, the first wave of the Tsugawa family's offensive against Omori Castle began.

Ichiro Yamamoto, the general of the Tsugawa family, took the lead, and Shuichiro Yagyu and Nobi Nobita served as reserves. There are a total of 200 people under the command of the three of them, and the first wave of attacks is usually a tentative attack, so Tsugawa Soji did not plan to send the main force of the Tsugawa family to fight, so let Yamamoto Ichiro and others take the troops to wear down the fighting spirit of the Onodera family.

When the battle is almost over, send out elite troops to give the Onodera family a fatal blow!

"Kill!" Ichiro Yamamoto brandished a sword and commanded his subordinate Ashigaru to begin the siege, and the Tsugawa family Ashigaru, who rushed to the front, held a piece of wooden oak in his hand, and when he approached the walls of Omori Castle, Ashigaru placed the wooden tree in his hand on the ground, and then began to climb the castle walls.

The bow and arrow in the back began to shoot at the castle tower of Omori Castle under the cover of the wooden tree.

On the upper floor of Omori Castle, Onodera Ieki Michi looked at the Tsugawa family's troops rushing towards Omori Castle with red eyes, and shouted loudly, "Archer, shoot!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!" For a while, dozens of archers from the Onodera family on the castle tower began to release arrows, and dense arrows flew out from the castle tower, taking away the lives of several Tsugawa family Ashigaru.

"The archers shoot back! Target Omori Castle Tower, release arrows! Ichiro Yamamoto commanded his archers and began to fire a dense burst of fire at Omori Castle. Due to the intervention of the bow and arrow, the ashigaru on the castle tower of Omori Castle crouched down to dodge the arrows, which gave the ashigaru who was climbing the castle wall a chance.

Not long after, several of the Tsukawa family's ashigaru climbed the castle tower and fought with the Onodera family ashigaru at the castle tower.

"Block! Don't let the enemy rush up! "Hachibai Dao rushed up to command the ashigaru of Hachikakan, trying to block the Tsugawa family's attack. As more and more Tsugawa family ashigaru climbed the castle tower, the battle at the castle tower of Omori Castle also came to a stalemate.

In general, the Tsugawa family's ashigaru combat effectiveness is generally higher than that of the Onodera family. Therefore, the team of Babai Dao fell into a bitter battle at this time, and Tufei Dao on the side saw this situation and hurriedly commanded his Ashigaru to join the battle, so that the situation could be stabilized.

"Kill!" One of the Tsukawa ieshigaru towers howled angrily and pulled the spear out of the body of one of the Onodera ieshigaru, then turned the spear and stabbed it at the other Onodera ieshigaru. The spear quickly pierced into the body of the Onodera family's ashigaru, and assassinated the two Onodera family's ashigaru in one face, and the Tsugawa family's ashigaru morale suddenly rose.

Omori Castle was not a castle suitable for defense, and the purpose of Onodera's construction of Omori Castle was to make Omori Castle a foothold for the Onodera family to go north to Senhoku-gun, and the biggest role was to hoard food and armaments for the war.

Ichiro Yamamoto now has two troops under his command, one of which is composed of the peasant soldiers of Onokan and Ashigaru, which is also the direct force of Ichiro Yamamoto. The other is the extremely elite Taidao team of the Tsugawa family, but the Taidao team is one of the few elite troops of the Tsukawa family, although Yamamoto Ichiro is the commander of the Taidao team, but in fact, without the order of Tsukawa Soji, Yamamoto Ichiro and the Taidao team cannot be mobilized.

This time, the Taidao team existed as a guard for the Tsugawa family's main camp, so the Yamamoto Ichiro team that attacked Omori Castle was just the strength of Onokan's troops. Most of the peasant soldiers of seventy or eighty men and the force of Ashigaru had been put into battle, but it was impossible to capture Omori Castle if it was only seventy or eighty.

At this time, the Onodera family on the upper floor of Omori Castle had gradually controlled the situation, after all, the number of Yamamoto Ichiro's team attacking the city was small, and he only needed to block the first few waves of attacks of Yamamoto Ichiro's team, and then it would be easy to do. The Onodera family's Hachibai Daowei and Dohi Michi's team surrounded Yamamoto Ichiro with troops, and for a time the situation of Yamamoto Ichiro on the castle tower was very bad.

Seeing that the castle tower had fallen into a bitter battle, Shuichiro Yagyu and Nobi Nobita outside the castle immediately commanded their Ashigaru to come to support, and the Tsugawa family's troops who participated in the attack on Omori Castle for a time had increased to 150 people.
