Chapter 39: Sneak Attack on Murozu Castle (Medium, 1,000 Recommended)

In the palace, Urakami Masamune appeared in front of all the retainers in full clothes, and shouted loudly, "Warriors, the time has come to die for the Urakami family with me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hey!" All the samurai who were still alive in the Urakami family shouted together, and the sound converged into a loud sound, which resounded throughout Murozu Castle, and even the Akamatsu army, which was originally high morale, was stunned, and their morale was hit to a certain extent. The other side is a group of samurai who do not want to die, although their own victory is a foregone conclusion, but in this case, who wants to rush to the front and use their lives to fulfill the merits of others?

Seeing that the soldiers were all at the gate of the palace and did not dare to attack, Akamatsu Masahide shouted: "Victory is just around the corner, give me all the attack, if anyone stagnates, there will be no mercy." Whoever takes the head of Urakami Masamune, is promoted to the general of the family, receives a hundred stone territory, and the bounty is five pieces. ”

Akamatsu Masahide has a reward to motivate the soldiers under his command, and this reward is also very attractive, after the soldiers heard the reward, there were really a few soldiers with high martial arts to attack the palace. It would be easy for someone to take the lead, and the soldiers behind rushed forward, and their purpose was to be the head of Urakami Masamune.

The gate of the Murozu Castle Palace is unusually narrow, and the few samurai who rushed to the front could not pass side by side, although they rushed to the front with their own courage, but their desire to make achievements was beautiful, but the reality was cruel, they had just entered the palace, and they were greeted by dozens of spears and katanas, and these people could not even kill an enemy, and they fell in the palace.

For a while, the morale of the Urakami side was high, and they slowly let the Akamatsu army enter the palace, and in a small environment, they took advantage of the numerical advantage to kill more than 30 soldiers of the Akamatsu family without damage. After releasing five more Akamatsu troops and killing them all, the excited Urakami soldiers even killed the palace at the moment when the Akamatsu army paused, and killed the Akamatsu army's army in front of the palace.

Akamatsu Masahide was almost attacked, he was furious, and demanded that the army must immediately attack the palace regardless of losses, so under the leadership of the Akamatsu family generals Shibahara Yajuro, Kuwabara Saemon, Bono Yazaburo and others, the elite banner samurai of the Akamatsu family came out together, and soon forced the Urakami army back to the palace, and killed five or six Urakami troops who were running slowly.

After a period of desperate fighting, the Urakami army was unable to rest, and the fierce generals of the Akamatsu family finally appeared on the stage and launched an attack with all their might, and the Urakami side soon could not hold the gate of the palace.

After many fierce and repeated battles, as Shibahara Yajuro gained a firm foothold in the palace, more and more soldiers poured into the palace, and the Akamatsu family finally gained a numerical advantage. The Urakami side was forced to abandon the palace and turn to the courtyard behind the palace, and in each room, continue to confront the Akamatsu army.

Dozens of Urakami soldiers fought fiercely and repeatedly with the Akamatsu army in several rooms, and even the fierce general Shibahara Yajuro was besieged by three Urakami family samurai when he entered a room, and his right hand was injured and he could no longer fight, so he could only withdraw from the palace under the protection of two ashigaru.

Dozens of Urakami's samurai cleverly used the narrow terrain to entangle with the Akamatsu army, but after all, there was a disadvantage in numbers, and within an hour, only the last room was left in the entire courtyard, and Urakami Masamune himself and five samurai, and the other Urakami troops all died.

At this time, the entire courtyard was full of corpses, the corpses of hundreds of people were piled up, the land in the courtyard was dyed red, and the corridors were all covered with blood, the blood was not dry, and there would be a slippery feeling when you walked up, although the Akamatsu Army had already won the victory, and of course there were still the last six people who solved it, but the Akamatsu Army, in fact, was a little scared in their hearts until the battle, afraid of the spirit of the Urakami family who were not afraid of death.

The people of the island country revere the strong, as long as you can show enough courage to convince them, then you will be considered a strong man, and you will be respected by them, such as Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi, the two generals of our Ming Kingdom, as for a bunch of war gods in the island country who can't even win against a few enemies, I won't talk about it.

In the war of the island country, basically as long as the battle loss of one side reaches 10%, it is likely to retreat, if the battle loss reaches 30% and does not retreat, it is considered a strong army, and none of these samurai of the Urakami family escaped, or showed a cowardly look, which the Akamatsu army had never encountered.

The more than 300 soldiers in Murozu Castle are all loyal and brave men who have followed Urakami Masamune for several years or more than ten years, and there is no doubt about Urakami Masamune's loyalty, otherwise as early as Bizen Province, he would have taken refuge in Urakami Masamune's younger brother, the current head of Bizen country, Urakami Munekei. These samurai and Urakami Masamune fled to Harima, in fact, they had already held the determination to die for the main family, so when the Akamatsu family sneak attacked, many of them were actually very excited, or there was a kind of relief at the moment of death, after all, in their hearts they must be loyal to Urakami Masamune, and they must recapture Bizen country, but even they don't think that these three hundred people can fight back, from the moment they leave Bizen, this contradiction is entangled with them, die in Harima country, die in the land of Murozu Castle, For them, they can be regarded as getting rid of this despair!

Urakami Masamune, including the six samurai, did not have any expression on their faces at this time, indifferent, only indifferent on their faces, as if the impending death had nothing to do with them, as if they were facing thousands of trees and thousands of pigs, and the indifference made the Akamatsu army dare not step forward.

"Uragami-sama, we must be meeting for the first time!" Akamatsu Masahide walked out of the army of the Akamatsu Army and said with a smile.

"And for the last time." Urakami Masamune touched his katana and said coldly.

"Urakami-sama, if you surrender, surrender now, I will definitely treat you well, you have been driven out of Bizen Province now, I can give you a thousand stones, as long as you listen to me, you can live well."

"Takino Temple, you think too much, don't hesitate, kill me! Bizen Province is from my Urakami family, and it has nothing to do with your Akamatsu family decades ago, let alone you, a clansman from a side branch of the Akamatsu family. My two children will go to Kuroda's house, and soon they will help me get revenge. ”

Akamatsu Masahide hopes to keep Urakami Masamune as a righteous name for attacking Bizen Province. But I didn't expect Urakami Masamune himself to refuse immediately, he didn't want the Akamatsu family to enter Bizen even if he died, no matter what, even if Bizen Country was in the hands of his younger brother Urakami Sokei who was at odds with him, it was also in the hands of the Urakami family, and he must not let outsiders get involved. The Akamatsu family is no longer the head of the Urakami family, and Bizen is Urakami's private leader.

"In that case, Uragami-sama, farewell, don't be merciful, the reward I said before will not change, please let it go!" After saying that, Akamatsu Masahide retreated into the middle of the crowd, and the momentum of the Urakami family before made even this lord who was used to seeing life and death shudder.

The samurai of the Akamatsu family swarmed up, and the five samurai of the Urakami family surrounded Urakami Masamune in the center, these five people were all Urakami Masamune's guards, and their martial arts were relatively strong, and they had been resting before, so their physical strength was relatively abundant. When facing the Akamatsu Samurai and Ashigaru, these people were like fierce tigers, fighting desperately, and after a while, more than a dozen people had already been killed.

"Spearmen come forward" Kuwabara Saemon immediately shouted when he saw that these people were using katanas.

Dozens of spearmen stepped forward, these six samurai were really firmly suppressed because of the short weapons, only to see a samurai quickly stepped forward, when two ashigaru stepped forward to stab, he clamped a gun, and split a gun with a knife, the knife just a horizontal slash, killing the ashigaru who was caught in the gun, and the result was three guns in the front, this samurai was shot three times, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

The last few samurai, without exception, launched a suicidal charge, and all of them were stabbed to death by the spears of the Akamatsu family, and the Akamatsu family also paid the price of four ashigaru.
