Chapter 11: The Siege Begins
"The hateful Kuroda family, return my brother's life" A brother of the Kanoda family, unfortunately the first wave of crossbows of the Kuroda family took the young life, this bowshigaru looked at the body of his brother lying on the ground not far from the city wall, this bowshigashi roared loudly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info after all, it is a small wealthy family, so the soldiers are basically related to the family, so sometimes you can improve your combat effectiveness, but obviously, it is not wise to shout so recklessly now.
This Tsunoda family's bow ashigaru suddenly leaned his body out of the battlements of the city wall, and drew his bow to attack the Kuroda family's crossbow team, but at the moment he probed, the Kuroda family's second wave of one hundred crossbow arrows also came to Doi's castle. This time it wasn't an attack specially prepared for him, but he just happened to hit the Kuroda family's salvo at this time.
However, as a person who has exposed his body to the outside, this bow foot light will naturally receive special care from the Kuroda family's crossbow ashikau, and at least six crossbow arrows are aimed at him. The speed of the crossbow is definitely faster than the speed of the bow, and before he can pull his own Maruki bow, the crossbow of the Kuroda family has already arrived.
What kind of arrow is this? Why is it so fast? This was his first reaction after seeing the crossbow, that is, fast, the speed of the crossbow was indeed fast, and before his body could make any dodge movements, the crossbow was already in front of him. Four of the six crossbow bolts hit the bow, and the impact of the huge crossbow bolt sent the entire body of the ashigaru flying, and carried him directly over the top of the city wall, smashing on the ground below the wall. The walls of Doi Castle were still about two meters long, and the soldier was wounded by the crossbow arrows and the double damage caused by falling from the walls, and his whole body became a blur of flesh and blood.
One of the six crossbow bolts, probably the reason for the aim, did not fail to hit him, but grazed the left side of his body. But it happened to be nailed to the head of a Tsunoda family ashigaru behind him, and this ashigaru was also killed instantly, which can be described as a typical example of lying down and being shot, and it was not light to be pitted by his comrades.
The second wave of crossbows of the Kuroda family took the lives of thirteen or fourteen Kakuda family soldiers, and at the same time, this wave of crossbow arrows also woke up the Tsunoda family's city guards who were still at a loss in panic just now.
A few of the soldiers of the Tsunoda family, whose heads were not very useful, or who had red eyes after the death of their relatives, also tried to return fire at the Kuroda family's crossbowmen with bows and arrows. However, although they are indeed very brave, sometimes bravery is recklessness and does not make any difference. And these brave soldiers of the Tsunoda family, although they embody their bravery, but without exception, they have become the living targets of the Kuroda family's crossbowmen and ashigaru, which is their favorite kind of close-range target that does not move. As for the other soldiers of the Tsunoda family who are hiding behind the battlements, smart, timid, or perhaps cowardly, the crossbowmen really have no choice, after all, no matter how sharp the crossbow is, it can't shoot through the city wall.
So after the crossbow Ashigaru successfully suppressed the city wall and killed more than 40 soldiers of the Tsunoda family, the two newcomers of the Kuroda family, Ashigaru team, under the leadership of Otani Moriji and Kato Kiyotada, began to advance and prepare for the siege.
Because they had seen the power of the crossbow arrows under the blow just now, the soldiers of the Tsunoda family began to fear the crossbow arrows of the Kuroda family, so that when the Kuroda family had begun to prepare for the siege of the castle by foot, the soldiers of the Tsunoda family still only hid behind the battlements, and it was not until several ladders were firmly erected at the head of the city that the Tsunoda family dared to stick out their heads. And at this moment, the soldiers of the Kuroda family have begun to attack the city.
When the soldiers of the Tsunoda family saw that the soldiers of the Kuroda family were already climbing the city wall, was this worth it? They immediately took their weapons and tried to knock down the ladder on the city wall, but after using all their strength, they found that they could not push it. The miscellaneous soldiers of the organic spirit looked at the ladder, and then found that there was a big hook at the top of the ladder, which had been buckled to the city wall, especially after the ladder was hung with people, it was impossible to push it down at all, and it could not be lifted, it seemed that it could only wait for the people of the Kuroda family to enter the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Holding a katana in one hand, Moriji Ohtani quickly climbed upwards with his whole body, and soon climbed to the head of Doi Castle. He had barely shown his head when a spear stabbed at him.
Otani Moriji is an experienced veteran of the battlefield, and when he saw a spear stabbing at this time, he was not panicked at all, but firmly watched the trajectory of the spear with his eyes. At the moment when the spear came to him, he saw the opportunity, and suddenly bit the hilt of his knife with his mouth, and at the same time his body was slightly on one side, just dodging the attack of the spear, and at the same time grabbed the barrel of the spear with his free right hand, and dragged it in the direction of the outside of the city wall.
After Otani Moriji successfully ascended the castle, he was surprised to find that there was only one Ashigaru of the Tsunoda family in front of him, and in addition, the other soldiers of the Tsunoda family were still a little far away from him, and it should have been caused by the crossbow Ashigaru just now being too fierce, so a lot of people from the Kanoda family died.
"The crossbow-footed guys are really powerful!" Moriji Ohtani said to himself.
Then Otani Moriji looked at Ashigaru in front of him, it was a half-old child, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, at this time he looked at himself, and there was a look of fear in his eyes, this child must have been scared by dragging his companion down the city just now! Moriji Ohtani thought.
But this is a battlefield, if it is an enemy, you can't have mercy on him, otherwise you may lose your life, for an extremely experienced general, Otani Moriji knows these truths, so even if he is facing a younger child, as long as he has a weapon, Ohtani Moriji will not hesitate.
Otani Moriji yelled, this child was completely shocked by Otani Moriji, when Otani Moriji started to move, he didn't have any reaction at all, he couldn't say no, he peed his pants.
Otani Moriji just raised the katana and slashed easily, ending this child's short life, and reincarnating into a good family in the Kuroda family in the next life! Moriharu Ohtani thought with some pity. (To be continued.) )
