As the clan's words fell, the craftsmen immediately began construction according to the arranged team.

Compared to the clutter just now, it can be regarded as well organized. And most importantly, the speed of construction has also increased significantly.

"The lord is not good, the enemy army has attacked, there are two... Two or three thousand people. A foot rushed to the front of the clan and shouted loudly and panickedly.

When the craftsmen who were working heard the news, they also stopped and waited for the clan's answer, and if the clan said to retreat, they would flee without hesitation.

After seeing that he had picked such an indisputable thing in the Bee Suga Party, the clan scolded and said: "Bastard, the enemy hasn't come yet, so I'll scare you like this, and let Lao Tzu go back to defend the city!" After speaking, he looked at the craftsmen and said loudly, "Build the city wall quickly, you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

With that, he strode towards the north fence.

As soon as the clan came to the north fence, he saw that the enemy had attacked, and unlike last time, this time the enemy was numerous, and no longer attacked from one side as before, but from the north, east, and west, and the castle was divided into three teams, which were led by Maeda to leave home, Wasuka Koroku, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo to defend on three sides.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy and us were already fighting together through the wooden fence, the defenders were in good hands, and the enemy was outnumbered, so the fight was intractable and evenly matched. However, the clan knows that if it continues like this, it won't take two hours for the ashigaru under his command to die, and it won't take long for the ashigaru from these robbers to run away even if they don't die. Peasant soldiers like them are fine if they fight a good battle in peacetime, but if they encounter a vicious battle, they probably won't be able to do anything but run.

Clan Zong shouted: "Listen to all, the reinforcements have set off from Owari, as long as you can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, each person will be rewarded with 2 yuan, give me to resist, resist!" After the clan finished speaking, he pulled out the village and ran quickly towards the west guarded by Yamauchi Kazutoyo.

Ashigaru heard that there would be reinforcements, and as long as he held on for a while, there would be two rewards, and his morale was greatly boosted, and his movements in his hands were a little faster. Since then, the enemies who are attacking outside have been unable to withstand this ferocious attack, and they have begun to retreat.

Nagai Michitoshi had been watching the battle in front of him from the main formation a hundred meters away, and when he saw that Ashigaru had retreated, he didn't say much, he pulled out his sword and slashed the two retreating Ashigaru to the ground, shouting: "Attack, attack!" If there is any retreat, it will not be forgiven! ”

Ashigaru, who had just retreated, saw that his two companions were beheaded, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Sumamata Castle again. In this short period of time, the clan took advantage of the firelight to look at the ashigaru inside the fence, and more than 50 ashigaru on his side had been killed or wounded and could no longer fight. The rate of death exceeded his expectations, and if he continued like this, it would not be an hour before there would be no one to defend the city on his side.

Less than a cup of tea, the enemy launched a second offensive, and this time the enemy gathered 800 men on the northern fence, so Maeda Toshiya, who was guarding the north, suddenly increased the pressure, that is, relying on his superb spear skills, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Seeing that there were only more than 400 enemies attacking from the east and west, the clan immediately dispatched 100 men each to the north, and the defenders on the north side were supported by 200 ashigaru troops, and the originally critical situation was stabilized. Seeing the failure of the attack on the north, the enemy retreated in an organized manner.

With the help of this short period of recuperation, the clan found that the ashigaru already had a frightened look on their faces, and it was estimated that as long as the enemy attacked like this two or three times, these ashigaru would collapse. At that time, the construction of the castle by Sumata will be considered a complete failure. The clan is very rich and willing to spend money, but now the fear of the ashigaru people can no longer be solved with money, and compared to money, it is still important for them to live a small life.

This time, the enemy took a little longer to recuperate, but the three retainers of Maeda Toshiie, Wasuka Koroku, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo were still in place and did not dare to leave half a step.

The clan looked back, although the speed of building the outer wall was much faster than just now, it was still some time before it was completed, and it was obviously impossible to rely on the outer wall for defense. Taking advantage of this time, he called dozens of craftsmen from the construction site and asked them to move the corpses in front of the fence to a place that was out of the way, so as not to hinder the defense.

The clan probably counted, and there were only about 600 people left in Ashigaru who could still fight, and although he had let Ashigaru rest in place, Ashigaru was still standing there facing the enemy, for fear that the enemy would suddenly rush over while they were resting. ,

At the same time, Matsukura Castle in Haguri Prefecture was brightly lit, and the castle was two miles west of Sumamata Castle, and the lord of the castle, Maeno Nagayasu, was wearing a full face and sitting on the throne.

As early as when the construction of the wooden fence began in Sumamata Castle, he had already begun to mobilize his retainers, as a small wealthy clan with only 1500 stone Zhixing, his banner was really limited, but at this moment in Matsukura Chengzhong, more than 500 troops were gathered, of which in addition to the 50 neatly dressed flag Ashigaru, the remaining 450 people were basically armed with bamboo guns, unarmed peasant soldiers, which was also the largest army that Maeno Nagayasu could gather.

At this moment, he was sitting upright in the middle when he saw a samurai wearing a belly roll walk in and said, "My lord, the army has been assembled and can be sent out at any time." After saying that, the samurai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you really want to help the Oda family, my lord?" Lord Nagai led an army of 2,000 to attack, and the Oda family only defended the castle with a few hundred people, and the castle had not yet been built, so if it failed, then our Maeno family would be completely finished. Please also think twice. ”

Maeno Changkang said lightly: "Liding, although you are a retainer, you are also my younger brother, if the eldest brother is in danger, will you stand by and watch?" ”

Pinguchi Liding hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Even if your subordinates die in battle, you must protect your lord." ”

Maeno Nagayasu nodded, smiled and said, "Although Brother Beesuka and I are not related by blood, he usually takes me like a brother, and now when he is in danger, how can I not help him with all my might?" Maeno Nagayasu stood up and said loudly, "Let's go!" With that, he strode towards the assessment room.

Although Maeno Nagayasu said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, he was also making small calculations in his heart, and rescuing Suga Koroku because of brotherhood was one of them, and the most important point was that he had seen that the Saito family was already declining and had become a decline. And although Matsukura Nari belongs to Mino Haguri County, it borders Owari Haturi County, and due to the geographical location, if the Oda family attacks Nishimino, then Matsukura Castle will bear the brunt, and with his 1,500 stone Zhixing, he will not be able to resist the attack of Oda's army no matter what.

Rather than turning the Oda family at that time, it would be better to help them defend Sumata Castle now, which can be regarded as a great achievement, not only to keep the name of the family, but also to have room for bargaining when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Maeno Nagayasu stepped on his war horse and led Ashigaru towards the east of Sumata Castle.
