In cage warfare, the defenders of the city certainly have a strong castle as a defense, and the besieging side is not all exposed in the field, and often builds forts around the castle to prevent the counterattack of the defender and the rescue of reinforcements. Having said that, it was only a temporary small mould made of earth, bamboo, and weeds, which was neither strong nor too high, about the height of a person's shoulder, but it was enough to slow down the enemy's attack and allow the attacker to deal with it calmly.

Of course, not all around the castle were built with such bars, and it was too late for a short time and there was no need for it. The Date army first conquered the surrounding branch cities, and used this as a fulcrum to suppress Silver Mountain Castle, and in some places it was hastily done, or even not built at all, forming some gaps.

These seemingly gaps, in fact, want to attack from these gaps unnoticed, it is really difficult, but it takes a lot of time and energy to detour, which is undoubtedly a big fatal wound for the defenders of the city, and the intention of building the fortress is also the same.

Silver Mountain Castle is located in Takeda Mountain, and it takes a heavy price to conquer it, but now although the time that the Date family can use for the siege is not sufficient, the corresponding time for Ouchi Yoshinaga is even more urgent, and it can be said that the front door drives the wolf and the back door enters the tiger.

Hearing Kiyokawa Hengxiu loudly preach about Date Masaki's conditions, Ouchi Yoshicho seemed to have made up his mind in the city at first, but as soon as he entered the house, he could hear the noise of the generals outside the house. Listen carefully. It turned out to be telling the rumors that Date Masaka had not believed.

When it comes to Date Masaki, he doesn't believe it. It's true that he doesn't talk about integrity, but now Yoshicho Ouchi is in trouble, suspicious, and he can hear the noise of the generals, and his determination to finally make up his mind is leaked out at once, and he hesitates.

In the evening, the sun sets.

High on the hill outside the city. Date Masahiro had a little doubt in his eyes, he never thought that Ouchi Yoshicho had already made up his mind and left the city according to his conditions, but he didn't expect that some untrustworthy stories in the past made Ouchi Yoshicho retreat.

In order to survive, he once had no faith in his words, it does not mean that he will not be trustworthy when he has achieved hegemony now, Date Zhengheng said that he would attack when the sun set, but he did not delay time at all, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten orders came out.

The sound of table tennis drums and moo horns was in several camps with horns on each other. Groups of soldiers who had been waiting for a long time emerged from behind the swords, bows and swords unsheathed. Everywhere there was plate armor glowing with a black and bright copper glow. These soldiers in bronze armor looked solemn from a distance, but in fact, these bronze armors only thickened some iron plates in important parts, and the rest of the parts were mostly replaced with bamboo and wood, and then dyed with vermilion lacquer.

When thousands of soldiers in bronze armor lined up and walked towards Silver Mountain City with spears in hand, the neat shouts, as well as short and rapid orders and sharp whistles, as well as more than a dozen huge stone cannons specially made by the Date family were lined up in front of the battle, all of which made Silver Mountain City chaotic.

Stone cannons are stone-throwing tools, which were left in the Wa Kingdom when the Mongols attacked, because they were too cumbersome and there were no craftsmen who could make them, so it was only today that they were reproduced under the orders of Date Masahiro. Zhengheng actually didn't want to take the historical retreat, and he also wanted to build artillery, and even thought about making a redcoat cannon weighing thousands of pounds, but there was really no way. It also took a lot of effort to make such a primitive stone thrower, not to mention the others.

This stone cannon was quickly erected, connected everywhere with a wooden wedge nailed, tied with ropes, this stone cannon is regarded as a strategic weapon of the Date army, specially formed a stone artillery unit for this purpose, trained for a long time, skilled in action, soon set up ten frames and slowly advanced to a distance of more than 200 steps from the silver mountain city three pills, surrounded by thousands of troops to protect.

Accompanying Zheng Heng was a craftsman who made stone cannons, who specially explained the use of stone cannons to Zheng Heng and the generals. Where had this craftsman seen so many big people, and his hands and feet trembled with fright, but when one of them asked what this stone cannon was going to launch, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "A few warrior masters, stone bullets are used for siege, mud bombs are best used for defending cities and field battles, and its practical baked jade is also good, but it is quite troublesome to make a baked jade, and it is very unsafe to ignite the rear before causing damage." ”

Roasted jade is a grenade-like weapon that is filled with gunpowder in the roasting and ignited the fuse and thrown at the enemy. Although the stone cannon has a stone character, in fact, most of them are made of wood, and they are most afraid of fire attack, and the power of baking jade is huge, but the slightest carelessness will ignite itself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zheng Heng looked at the heads of the people rising at the head of Yinshan City, nodded his fingers lightly, and said slowly: "First let each stone cannon fire five mud bombs and five stone bullets at intervals, and then let Katayama Moricho lead Ping and the others to fight the first formation, and Goto Katsuki and Jin Guang Zongtaka will be ready to respond to the second formation." ”

The craftsman made an explanation of the mud bomb, and everyone knew the production method of the mud bomb, the original mud bomb should be made of dry and wet soil, first use dry sand and soil to mix and knead into a ball with cooked glutinous rice, and after drying it, dozens of fist-sized dry soil balls are mixed with wet soil to form large mud balls, and they can be blown up and injured by hitting them.

Although the winch was used to make use of the torque, each stone cannon still needed more than 30 people to drag it before it could be pulled, which was enough to see the inconvenience of the stone cannon, and it was enough to see that Masahiro only made ten stone cannons, and Masahiro knew that once the Seto Inland Sea channel was opened, he could get the most advanced Fran cannon of this era from Hirado.

"Launch!" "Launch!"

Under the order of the head of the stone cannon group, a short and sharp whistle sounded, bang, the stone cannon shook, and then a huge mud bomb was ejected, because the stone cannon has no standard aim, fortunately, the target is huge, don't worry about missing, as long as it is thrown into Silver Mountain City, it can always cause huge damage.

The damage of the mud bombs was very large, and although Yinshan City was quite huge, it was still crowded after nearly seven or eight thousand internal troops were stationed. In addition, the direction of the horse return is directly facing the main battlefield. Nearly half of the soldiers poured in. The screams at its place were continuous, causing hundreds of casualties in an instant.

Silver Mountain City suddenly became a mess, and the city suddenly remembered a cheer, and the soldiers besieging the city obviously did not expect the power of the stone cannon to be so great, and they shouted one after another. The frequency of the stone cannon's projectile is actually not fast, and it is not impossible to dodge the attack of the mud bombs, but there is really not much room to dodge when people are crowded, which caused the first wave of huge casualties. The casualties of the subsequent attack were greatly reduced, but in this way, no one in the city dared to show their faces, giving the attackers a brief opportunity.

Katayama Moricho obviously would not let go of such an opportunity, and led nearly 500 tsubos and the crowd in the two divisions of Goto Katsuki and Jinguang Zonggao, a total of thousands of soldiers and horses, one after the other, and began to attack in the direction of the horse's return, and everyone immediately roared like thunder and rushed over.

The Ouchi Army, which was defending the horse, obviously thought that Date would come up to attack, and had already made preparations. It was just that the stone cannons were disrupted all of a sudden, and some people wanted to go up to the city wall to fight back. Some people are hiding from the attack of mud and rocks and cannot be united.

Hongzhong Longbao, who was wounded on his left shoulder, saw that everyone couldn't raise his head, shouted, raised his front finger and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me!" As he spoke, he kicked away a dodging soldier, rushed to the top of the castle, grabbed his bow and arrows, and shot at Katayama Moricho, who was rushing at the front.

Ping and everyone were holding a short knife, and he moved quickly, and Katayama Moricho was no exception, he drew his sword to block, but the arrow was extremely fierce, and the speed did not slow down after being knifed, but changed direction slightly, and flew over his body.

Katayama smiled, glanced at the head of the city, and did not speak, so he climbed Takeda Mountain and climbed up, jumping up from time to time, the speed did not decrease, and the speed of the people behind him was also extremely fast, plus the stone cannon did not stop shooting, and it seemed even more calm.

Hongzhong Takabao obviously didn't expect the Date army to send the most elite troops out at the first time, in fact, he didn't know that this Ping and Zhong were not Date Mashiro's descendants, if he knew, he would definitely shout that it was impossible, and the two sides would soon have to fight.

The stone cannon also stopped attacking, shouting and fighting, the sound of ping-pong weapons fighting, and the muffled humming of people when knives and guns entered the flesh.

With the swaying of the torches, Yoshinaga Ouchi, who was commanding the battle in Honmaru, saw that the horse returned to the direction of the battle and fought in a group, and his heart was dripping blood, he never thought that the Date army would risk attacking overnight, which made him regret it, regretting that he should not have made up his mind to leave the city.

Ouchi Yoshicho understood that if he could not hold it as soon as the horse returned, he was afraid that it would immediately fall apart, so he thought for a moment, stood up, and shouted to everyone with his spear in hand, "The guards will fight with me." "Saying that, he actually went into battle in person.

The addition of the new force, coupled with the fact that Yoshicho Ouchi personally went into battle, the morale of the defenders of the city suddenly came up, and Katayama Moricho was accidentally caught off guard for a while, and injured hundreds of his subordinates in a row, and his heart ached, so he had to retreat, but fortunately, Goto Katsuki and Jinguang Sotaka took over the two departments before they withdrew from the battlefield.

Katayama Moricho went to Date Masahiro to plead guilty, and Masahiro was appeased.

Zhengheng saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, so he no longer launched an offensive, but some did not launch stone bullets to vent their anger, and the atmosphere over Yinshan City was very tense, but the war drums sounded all night, but there was no fierce battle between each other, which made Zhengheng a little depressed, and his eyes were black.

After dawn, when the Date army attacked again, only less than 1,000 people were left in Ginzan Castle, and Ouchi Yoshinaga was no longer in Ginzan Castle. Date Se never imagined that the troops of the Ouchi family would retreat without a fight.

In other words, at the same time that the Date Army occupied Ginzan Castle, Ginzan Castle became an empty castle, and Ouchi Yoshinaga had already led the remaining men out of the battlefield. Although Date achieved his goal, the feeling of being tricked made Zheng Heng quite uncomfortable. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
