Chapter 44: Sakamoto's Fall (1,003 Recommended Additions)
When a ronin saw that Takenori Ogami seemed to be a big man in the city, surrounded by many samurai and peasant soldiers, he immediately raised his sword when he approached. Takeshi O, www.biquge.info Ogami, saw the enemy coming, and was unusually calm, staring straight at the actions of the ronin samurai with his eyes, and he moved forward slowly. When the two were five steps apart, the ronin shouted and raised his knife to slash, and Takeshi Ogami stabbed the ronin to death with a stab of his spear and stabbed forward.
The warriors and peasants of the Takino Akamatsu family behind him saw the general's might, and they all shouted to kill the ronins of the Kuroda family, and for a while, the ronins of the Kuroda family were hacked to death, and the gap that was finally opened was about to be suppressed.
At this time, suddenly a figure jumped on the city wall, stabbed to death a peasant soldier on the left who was preparing to sneak attack, and then reflexively blocked a samurai's sword, and then stabbed him in the abdomen, kicking the samurai's body away, and then the man scanned the battlefield on the city wall and saw Ogami Takenori. Takenori Ogami was keenly aware that he was looking at him, and the man seemed to have taken himself as his prey in his eyes, and Takenori Ogami didn't like this feeling.
"Kuroda ieshigaru general Moriharu Ohtani participates" Moriharu Ohtani pointed a gun at Takenori Ogami and said arrogantly, his tone full of excitement, as if he had won a ride.
"Takino Ogami Takeno" Takenori Ogami said in a cold tone, he didn't like his eyes, he didn't like his tone, and he didn't like him pointing a spear at himself, all the actions of Moriharu Ohtani reminded him of his eldest brother who kicked him out of the house when he was a child, when his brother looked at him with the eyes of his prey.
Takenori Ogami rubbed his hands on the spear, clenched the body of the spear hard, and suddenly took a step forward, stabbing Otani Moriji in the abdomen, and the momentum sank. Otani Moriji had just held a gun and pointed at Ogami Takenori's action, when he saw the opponent attacking, his eyes narrowed, his body lowered, and the spear was sent forward, just against Ogami Takenori's spear, neither of them was considered to be strong enough, and after the two competed for strength, Ohtani Moriji's strength was relatively large.
Otani Moriji got the desired result, and suddenly smiled at Takenori Ogami, this smile came suddenly, and Takenori Ogami felt furious. Otani Moriji flicked the gun to the left, and Takenori Ogami's gun was biased to his right, and when Otani Moriji raised his gun to stab, he could only quickly raise the spear flat and hold the gun.
Ohtani Moriji wanted this result, seeing that his spear was blocked by Takenori Ogami, he did not hesitate to use the gun as a hammer, and smashed it down several times desperately, his gun was specially tailored for him by Li Sanbao, the gun weighed forty pounds, just suitable for the strength of Otani Moriji, and the gun body was relatively heavy, and it could also be used as a heavy weapon. What Moriji Otani is doing now is to use the gun as a heavy weapon, and after a few smashes, Takenori Ogami obviously couldn't bear it, and took a few steps back, and he also looked at his tiger's mouth to make sure that there was no bleeding, and it seemed that he was very choked by these few blows.
When Ogami Takeshi rushed up again, Otani Moriji laughed again, simply took the gun as a hammer, and smashed it left and right at Ogami Takenori, where has Ogami Takenori ever seen such a spear, he didn't react, he could only block left and right, very embarrassed, just after blocking seven or eight times, Otani Moriji quickly smashed a shot on Ogami Takenori's body, Ogami Takeshi couldn't bear the power brought by the gun, and was directly smashed to the ground, and his mouth was sweet, and he spit out two mouthfuls of blood.
When Takenori Ogami struggled to raise his head, Moriji Otani put the tail of his gun against his body and kicked Takenori Ogami's spear aside, and the surroundings were basically occupied by the Kuroda family ronin and Ashigaru who had attacked the city wall in the future, and they were killing under the city wall at this time, so Moriji Ohtani stood here with confidence.
"Boy, you are very lucky, our young master thinks that you are a talent, as long as you surrender, I will spare your life." Otani Moriji squatted down at this time and said to Takenori Ogami, who was lying on the ground.
"If I ...... What about not surrendering? Takenori Ogami gasped, his body was in great pain, and he felt very difficult to say every word.
"Don't surrender! Then slowly smash you to death, first your hands, then your legs, then your buddy, then your ribs, and finally your skull, what do you think? Otani Moriji simply sat down on the ground, not disgusted that the ground was covered with blood, and as he spoke, he used his gun to compare with Takenori Ogami's body.
"Give me a good time!"
"How can I give you a good time! If you want to die, you will be tortured to death, and if you want to live, you will say it happily, the young master said, everyone has their own dreams, but only by living can they realize their dreams, and if they die, there will be nothing. Otani Moriji said playfully, not caring about Takenori Ogami's reaction, as if his life and death had nothing to do with him.
"Dream...... Alive? Takenori Ogami was lying on the ground, as if he would be at ease with himself, muttering the words that Moriji Otani had just said, as if he was thinking about something.
"Young master, the young master of the Kuroda family? That Harima country unicorn. ”
"Exactly"
"I'm willing to surrender, but I have one condition."
"Let's hear it first." Moriji Ohtani said with a smile, and he didn't say that he didn't have the right to agree, nor did he say the bottom line of his rights.
"Kuwabara Saemon of Takino Castle has been kind to me, and once Takino Akamatsu is destroyed, please let the Kuroda family let him live."
"Just this little thing, the young master said, as long as you don't let go of Akamatsu Masahide, you can agree to the rest." Otani Moriji helped up Takenori Oue, who was on the ground, and told him the bottom line of Kodera Vocational High School, who valued himself so much that he suddenly felt that it might be the right decision to surrender to the Kuroda family.
With the surrender of the Kuroda family by the defender Takenori Ogami, and the persuasion of more than 110 samurai and peasant soldiers of the Akamatsu family, Sakamoto Castle fell, and the battle ended, and Kuroda's army entered the castle to rest.
When Koji Zhigao entered the city, he saw Ogami Takenori, chatted with him for a few words, and told him to have a good rest, and then he would reuse his Yunyun, and when he heard that his surrender condition was not to kill Kuwabara Saemon in the future, Koji Zhigao looked at Ogami Takenori with strange eyes, he wouldn't be a Longyang lover, right! There is a base situation, there must be a base situation.
After resting for an hour, leaving 100 men to guard Sakamoto Castle and guarding the prisoners, the Kuroda army began to move towards the Kuho River.
After an hour and a half of marching, the army crossed the Tsuho River and marched towards Takino Castle, and finally arrived at the foot of Takino Castle at dawn, and the Battle of Takino officially began.
Takino Castle, as a famous castle in Nishiharima, has been constantly repaired, strengthened, and expanded since Akamatsu Masaki's father, Akamatsu Murahide, received the inheritance of the Takino Akamatsu family, and turned this castle of Iho-gun into a well-known fortified castle.
In the face of such a city, Kuroda Vocational High also decided to use the previous Sakamoto Castle landing tactics, after the crossbowmen completely suppressed the defenders on the city, the samurai led by Ide Tomoji, and the ronin reserve led by Otani Moriji desperately rushed to the head of the city, and the defenders of Takino Castle launched a white-knuckle battle, although there were three hundred defenders in Takino Castle, but the peasants were the mainstays, and there were no strong samurai to sit in the town, and soon the Kuroda army suppressed the city wall.
When the Kuroda family entered the city, Akamatsu Masahide's younger brother, the elder of the Takino Akamatsu family, and the general of Takino Castle, Yuri Hirai, was shocked, and immediately went to the backyard of the palace to find Akamatsu Hirosada, the eldest son of Akamatsu Masahide.
"Guangzhen, something is wrong, the Kuroda family has attacked my Takino Castle, and now it has been attacked, the number of people is more than a thousand, the city wall has been suppressed, the Kuroda army has begun to enter the city, and Takino Castle can no longer be defended. It's up to you whether to die or run away! Yuri Hirai said anxiously, and his tone was very desperate.
In fact, the keeper of Tatsuno Castle will be Yuri Hirai, not Hirosada Akamatsu, if the castle is lost, Yuri Hirai will be responsible, and it is very likely that he will be ordered by his brother Akamatsu Masahide to apologize. In order to save his life, he could only come to Akamatsu Hirosada shamelessly, saying that it was for him to decide whether to martyr or escape, so no matter how Akamatsu Hirosada chooses, Hirai Yuri can be said to be Akamatsu Hirosada's decision, at least it is more likely that he will save his life.
