Yuanjiang, the city of high heaven. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to the situation in other places, the situation in Enoe was undoubtedly much more intense, and in the face of the onslaught of the Takeda family, it was extremely difficult for the Imagawa clan and Matsudaira Ieyasu to hold on.

"Bastard! Are the people of the Takeda family crazy?! With such a fierce attack, aren't they worried about luring the lord or Oda-sama over?! Imagawa cursed irritably.

"Yes, and even if His Highness and Lord Oda still hold their troops, with the current garrison strength of the family, if they want to take the city with this offensive, the Takeda army will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and although they will still be able to continue to attack Enoe and Mikawa, once the reinforcements of the family arrive, how will the Takeda family resist?" Hayakawa echoed this.

Since entering March, the Takeda family's offensive has become stronger and stronger, and almost every day without losing hundreds of corpses will not withdraw the army, this fierce offensive, although it still did not make the Imagawa clan really feel that he could not hold it, but it gave him a lot of pressure.

"It's better to ...... Let Takeda Shingen's tiger show the power of artillery? The pelican hall chief said in a deep voice. Hearing this, Asahina Taichao's gaze also turned, for those two cannons, Asahina Taichao was naturally very clear as an important minister of the Imagawa family, but he had never seen the power of that thing, and he was very curious about this.

Hearing the words of the Uden Nagato, the Imagawa clan really pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "It's not time yet, although these two cannons are powerful, but according to the lord, they are actually more of a deterrent effect." If you use it casually, it will be difficult to produce the maximum effect. ”

"Is it so stalemate?" The pelican hall Changzhao said a little unwillingly.

"Or else?" Imagawa said with a wry smile, "With the current situation, there is nothing we can do except hold on to the castle and wait for the Takeda Army's offensive to fall into fatigue. ”

Yes, wait, wait for the Takeda army to fall into a state of exhaustion, because anyone will understand that with this level of strong attack, the Takeda army simply cannot last long. Because if you can't attack for a long time, morale will naturally become low, and when the time comes, it will not be so easy to revive morale and launch another onslaught.

The Oda family can afford to wait, in fact, although there is a lot of pressure, but it is definitely a joke to want to capture Takatenjin City with such an offensive. Not to mention the artillery that has not yet been used, the more than 10,000 standing in the city alone is enough for Takeda Shingen to have a headache.

And in this regard, Takeda Shingen really has no intention of continuing to consume, if his enemies are only Imagawa and Matsudaira, then he doesn't mind spending more effort on the two cities of Takatenjin and Kakegawa. After all, most of the troops of the entire Three Rivers and Yuanjiang were gathered in these two cities, and as long as they were defeated, no matter how big the losses were, it didn't matter.

But the problem is that Imagawa and Matsudaira are just two of the retainers of the Oda family, and they are the two weaker ones, even if the Oda family allows the Takeda family to take Enoe and Mikawa, when Oda Yoshinobu or even Oda Nobunaga himself leads the army to attack, how can the Takeda family, who have suffered too much losses, resist the attack of the Oda family?

And even if the Takeda family blocks the Oda family's counterattack, it will definitely cause a lot of losses. At that time, how will they compete with Maori and Uesugi for hegemony in?

After looking at the map and pondering for a long time, Takeda Shingen suddenly raised his head and ordered, "Shinryu, you and Shinjun will immediately return to Junfu, from there they will join up with Itami Yasunao's naval army, and then attack Yinma Castle in the far river along the coastal road!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, the two immediately took the order to leave.

"My lord, the navy of this family has not been formed for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the Imagawa family's navy is not very strong, if you encounter the naval ...... of the Oda family," Muto Masayuki said worriedly.

"Don't worry, if the information of the family is correct, it seems that there are not many people in the Oda family who care about the navy except for Oda Yoshinobu, and I don't know if it's because they believe in Oda Yoshinobu too much or because they don't care in the first place." Takeda Shingen sneered, "But this obviously gives the family a very good opportunity, and even if it fails, it will only continue to attack the city." ”

Well, although I don't know why, but Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kobayakawa Takakei, Uesugi Kenshin, and Takeda Shingen all used the method of attacking by sea in a unified manner, and I don't know if it was because the heroes saw the same thing, or because this flaw of the Oda family was too big.

It's a pity that Hideyoshi Hashiba and the others don't know what Kobayakawa and the others think, and of course, even if they want to have any ideas, it's difficult.

At midnight, there was silence around Sanshi Castle, only the "snapping" sound of torches swaying in the wind, and at this time, the soldiers who had experienced the whole day of city battles had already fallen into a deep sleep, and even Yushiba Hideyoshi and others had fallen asleep one after another, preparing for the war that would continue tomorrow.

"Cheer up! Don't let those Maori bastards have a chance to sneak up! Horihide stood on the rampart of the city wall and patrolled as he kept reminding the soldiers. He is only 15 years old this year, but he has been a samurai for many years. After the destruction of the Asai family, he and Miyabe Jijun surrendered to Hashiba Hideyoshi, because of his courage and fearlessness in battle, he was quite valued by Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Well, in fact, it's just because there are really not many talents that can be used under Hideyoshi Hashiba, although by forcing Akamatsu, Urakami, and Bessho to live in seclusion, they have obtained a lot of talents, but those people, where can they compare to the people brought by Omi to reassure Hashiba Hideyoshi?

"Haha, little boss, don't worry, the Maori family is tired to death from attacking the city during the day, how can they come to attack the city at night?" A soldier in his 20s laughed when he heard this, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Horihidemura.

"Cut, even then you can't take it lightly! The enemy is Takakei Kobayakawa, who is known as the wisdom of Maori, so maybe he is just waiting for us to let our guard down! Horihidemura said when he heard this, but he also stopped and found a place to sit down. After all, it's quite boring to walk back and forth on the city walls all the time.

It was just at this moment that a huge commotion came from outside the city, and almost without Horihide Village's warning, all the soldiers of the Oda Army had already stood up.

"It's an enemy attack!" One soldier shouted at the Maori Army's moving firelight.

"Prepare for battle! Ring the bell! Horihidemura shouted.

Immediately, a series of crisp and loud bells rang in this silent midnight, and almost instantly, the originally quiet Three Stone City instantly became lively, and countless soldiers came out from everywhere, some of their eyes were full of confusion, and some were even a little unsteady when they walked, but the same thing was the neat armor on their bodies and the weapons they held in their hands.

One of the most important training items for the Oda family when training standing soldiers was to be able to put on their equipment immediately under all circumstances. Undoubtedly, this training was very successful.

Soon, without the need for samurai orders, the soldiers of the Oda Army had gathered at the castle walls, gates, and other important points that needed to be guarded, and in such a short period of time, they had gone from being groggy when they first rose to becoming extremely conscious.

Not long after, Hashiba Hideyoshi and Kodera Kodai hurriedly rushed out of the house, "What's the matter?!" How could the Maori family attack at this time?! Hideyoshi Hashiba asked loudly, but unfortunately no one could answer his words, because the others were equally confused.

"My lord, beware of the enemy's tired tactics!" Koji Takataka leaned over and said respectfully.

"Not bad!" Hearing this, Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the troops to be divided into two, one part continuing to resist the enemy, and the other part seizing the time to rest. Hawkers, as for whether the Oda Army can have a good rest in this noisy situation, Hashiba Hideyoshi can't care so much.

In this battle, the Maori army did not slowly retreat until dawn, but soon, another Maori army rushed up.

"Xiaogao, it's worthy of you! I actually guessed the idea of that bastard of Takakei Kobayakakawa! Hideyoshi Hashiba said excitedly.

"In that case, then divide the troops into four parts, and we will take turns to defend!" Maeda Toshiya said when he heard this.

"Good!" In this regard, Hashiba Hideyoshi naturally did not disagree, and then the Oda army was divided into four teams and took turns to resist the attack of the Maori army.

"Hmph, no matter how strong you are Kobayakawa Takashi, aren't you helpless in the face of the enemy's stubborn defense?" Hashiba Hideyoshi thought proudly in his heart.

It's just that 3 days later, Hideyoshi Hashiba couldn't laugh anymore.

"What did you say?!" Hideyoshi Hashiba glared at the ninja in front of him, his eyes as if he was about to eat people. In addition to him, the expressions of Maeda Toshiya and others were also extremely ugly.

"The Maori army didn't know how to bypass our army and appeared at the mountain castle of Harimamuro, and Lord Yushiba is leading the army to defend, I hope that the lord can immediately lead the army to the rescue!" The ninja said quickly.

"My lord! Without further ado, our army must immediately return to help, and Muroyama Castle must not be lost! Kodera Takataka said loudly.

Muroyama Castle is the residence of Hideyoshi Hashiba, where a large amount of supplies prepared for this war are stored, and many hostages of Harima are in Muroyama Castle, and most importantly, Muroyama Castle has two cannons, and if it is taken away, God knows what will happen.

"But ......" Hashiba Hideyoshi hesitated when he heard this, he knew very well the importance of Sanshi Castle, but the side of Muroyama Castle ......

"Let's go back to defense!" Maeda Toshiie advised, "I don't know how the Maori navy bypassed, but since they were able to attack Muroyama Castle, there was no point in defending Sanshi Castle. ”

"Not bad." Sasa nodded in agreement.

"I agree with that." Ikeda said.

Well, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, and Ikeda Tsuneko all agreed to withdraw their troops, and it was impossible for Hideyoshi Hashiba to stay here, and besides, how could he dare to give up Muroyama Castle?
