The battle lasted from day to night, and in the morning the three people of Naninjima won a complete victory, and the leader Murakami Yoshimitsu was killed and wounded nearly 100 people, and in the afternoon, Murakami Yoshimitsu counterattacked and won the final victory.

The sky gradually fell into the curtain, and the fight on the small plain in front of the island finally came to an end, and Nan Taitong led more than 100 relatives to flee to Nagasaki Castle, and the head of Katayama Shuma was cut off by Miyachi Daisuke, Shinozuka Sadada retreated, and the rest who could escape fled, and those who couldn't escape were killed. The torches were lit one after another, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated this slaughterhouse and the legendary hell a little closer.

Dozens of soldiers walked up and down the pile with knives, occasionally kicking the seemingly intact corpses to make sure they weren't really dead. As soon as they hear the slightest moan, they will walk over to identify them, and once they have confirmed that they are not their own family, they will raise their hands to make up for it.

Murakami Yoshimitsu's face is very ugly, no matter who wins in the end of the battle on this occasion, he is a loser, and all the soldiers and horses on Injima Murakami died. Murakami Yoshimitsu knew that after this joint battle, Injima Murakami's mutual aid heart would be completely split.

Murakami Yoshimitsu knew the result, but he couldn't stop the killing, and the rebellion always needed blood to quell it, whether it was his own or the enemy's, not to mention that Murakami Tango, Kiyohara Shougao, Murakami Shiro Sabei, and Miyachi Akimitsu had to be rewarded after the war, and only by getting enough benefits from the losers could they satisfy their truth. Murakami Yoshimitsu needs them to support him to continue to rule Innoshima Murakami, and these people also need Murakami Yoshimitsu to give them territory and goods.

As a result, Murakami Yoshimitsu hates Ryo Murakami even more. It was known that Nan Tai Tong fled to Nagasaki Castle. Katayama several horses died. Shinozuka Sadada retreated, and he had no scruples about the way back, and immediately led the people to start marching towards Nagasaki Castle. In the evening, Ryiyasu Murakami, who had not slept for a day and a night, first noticed the strange movement outside Nagasaki City, and his red eyes glared out, and he saw what he least wanted to see. Said viciously: "Brother, you are finally here, I will wait for a long time." ”

Outside the city, Murakami Yoshimitsu looked at Nagasaki Castle a few days ago, but now he wants to start a battle to the death inside and outside Nagasaki Castle, which can be seen how ridiculous, he took out the copy of the surrender letter written to him by Murakami Ryoyasu from his arms, thought about it and said to Miyachi Daisuke, who was on the throne because of his merits: "Shoot this silk into the city." ”

Miyachi Daisuke answered, and without asking anything else, he crossed the silk book and tied it to the arrow cluster. Then he took the rattan bow from the hand of the attendant and said nothing. He opened his bow and shot arrows, only to see the white arrows slashing a graceful curve in the air, and slanting into the eaves of the city, the arrows trembling.

The defenders of the city were startled, and hurriedly took down the silk book and sent it to Murakami Liangkang's hands, looking at the silk book in his hand, he was speechless for a while, this silk book was the ultimatum that he had heard that Nan Taitong had defeated Murakami Yoshichong at noon today, thinking that victory was in sight, and in order to show his tolerance to Murakami Yoshimitsung, he never thought that there was no past day, and he returned to his hands again.

Ryoyasu Murakami smiled bitterly and glanced at Nan Taitong not far away, Nan Taitong also looked over, and the two of them staggered their eyes. If you want to get carried away and prostitute during the day, Murakami Ryōyasu is afraid that he will immediately agree to his brother Murakami Yoshimitsu's conditions, Kaejo and leave, and now, hehe, there is only one way to fight to the death.

Ryo Murakami stood at the head of the city, shouting at the more than 200 soldiers guarding the city behind him: "Everyone, now that the castle has been surrounded layer by layer, there are no ships outside the city for us to escape, once we are out of the protection of the castle, do you think there is a chance to survive?!" Don't forget, those people, if they knew that their wives and concubines had been humiliated by you, they would let them go. ”

The defenders in the city were all silent, yes, in order to completely cut off the relationship between the defenders in Nagasaki Castle and the outside of the city, Ryo Yasu Murakami put all the women except Mrs. Nomi into the barracks for the soldiers to have fun, and the more than 100 soldiers brought by Nantaitong joined the team without exception.

The cronies and retainers below clamored one after another: "Yes, only by fighting to the end can we have a glimmer of life." They clamored and pressed the soldiers who refused to take a stand.

Murakami Ryoyasu glanced at it, and saw that most of the soldiers were on his side, and no one jumped out as a fool to sacrifice the flag, and said loudly: "I have already made an appointment with Date Masahiro of the Date family, yes, it is the Taishou of the Kibi Shikoku, just wait for ten days and half a month, and the reinforcements of the Date family will continue to arrive." If you are willing, you will all be the samurai of my Ininjima Village, and if you are a brother who is unwilling, I will not force it, but I will not know the whole party when we meet in the battle formation in the future. ”

The cronies drew their swords one after another and shouted, "We will swear allegiance to your lordship to the death." The other soldiers all expressed their obedience, and the rest of the soldiers, who were more worried that they would be left alone and pulled out to worship the flag, followed suit.

For a while, the situation in the city changed, and the originally decadent morale was suddenly boosted. Outside the city, Murakami Yoshimitsu's expression was extremely ugly, and he vaguely heard the cheers floating down from the city, and knew that the siege was inevitable.

Looking at the head of Nagasaki Castle, Murakami Yoshimitsu looked at the sky, he ordered Miyachi Akimitsu and Miyachi Daikaisuke, led three hundred people, carried the unfinished small morning boat, did not light torches, and approached the trench at night. These unfinished small early ships, with a bottom and no hull, were supported by four wooden pillars as horn posts, and during the siege, four soldiers each held a pillar to shield them from the arrows. In addition to the four soldiers who carried the boats, there were also alms under each boat, carrying the sand dug up by the fishermen, who were responsible for filling in the trenches and facilitating the subsequent siege.

There are only a few ways to siege the city of Injima Murakami, and Murakami Ryiyasu and Nantaitong, who are of the same clan, all know what way Murakami Yoshimitsu might attack, and when they saw the bottom of the boat slowly advancing against the bottom of a small morning boat, they immediately ordered the baking fire arrow to prepare.

The roasted fire bolt is similar to the current grenade, and the roasted shape resembles a clay pot, and after detonation, it will burn the nearby wooden structure and guide the ship ladder, but the burning power of this weapon is limited by the technology of the time and is low, so the main purpose is to kill and injure enemy soldiers.

When the two ships met, several burning arrows were thrown into one ship, and then they were dipped away, so that the crew of the other ship had to jump off the ship to save themselves to achieve the effect of breaking the enemy, and in the first battle of the Kizu River, the Murakami naval army became famous.

In fact, in the Sengoku period at the time, the Roasted Fire Arrow was not only used for naval warfare, but it was a grenade-like weapon that was filled with gunpowder in a clay pot-shaped container, lit the fuse, and threw at the enemy.

After all, the small hayafune was a wooden ship, and under the counterattack of the roasting arrows, it quickly burned, but fortunately, a layer of permeable water was poured on the bottom of the boat, and the fire oil burned, and for a while, it could not burn. Occasionally, if there is fierce fire, you can wait until you return to the camp and put it out calmly.

This method of siege can be said to be insolable until there is no artillery, and the fire bolts are only used to delay the attack, so that the attackers have to carefully fill the ravine, and after an hour, the outside of Nagasaki is filled with sandbags, and the ground is as flat as the ground.

Most of the siege warfare in the Warring States period was mainly based on encirclement, cutting off the opponent's water source, competing for patience, which side loses its cool first, and the other side will lead to victory, and the tactics of strong attack are rarely used in the Warring States period, once the casualties are too large, the besieging side will first collapse collectively.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for the main general of the besieging side to issue the fate of a strong attack, because most of the soldiers under his command are not from the descendant troops, and generally the first wave of the attack must be the descendant troops of the main general, and the largest casualties are also the first wave of attacks.

Ryo Murakami stalled for time to win the final victory, but Murakami Yoshimitsu couldn't wait long. Once the siege is long-term, it will inevitably be impossible to ensure the safety of the surrounding areas of Innoshima, and the defense line of Mukaijima, which is already difficult to maintain, will inevitably collapse, and once the Date army lands on the island, it will be difficult to predict who will win and who will lose. The only choice in front of him was a quick victory, and he endured his hatred and wanted to force Nagasaki Castle to surrender on the condition of sparing Ryo Yasu Murakami.

But Ryo Yasu Murakami is obviously not as good as he meant.

After the ravine is filled, the siege battle begins, because both sides have baking arrows, one side relies on the high walls of the city, and the other side relies on the number of people. Seeing the increase in casualties, Murakami Tango said in a low voice, "I really didn't expect the city to be so well defended. If you talk about the talent of Ryiyasu Murakami, it will not end here. According to the guess, it must be the Southern Taitong, who has contributed a lot. If you want to win this battle quickly, the casualties will inevitably be huge, and the situation is mainly besieged, supplemented by siege, and a simple walled city is built nearby, and at the same time it is tightly sealed at sea. Otherwise, if the casualties are too large, the relatives will be bitter and the enemy will be fast, once the Date family learns that the island riot is bound to send troops to come, Xiang Island is afraid that it will not be safe, and please think twice about it. ”

The rest of the generals also advised Murakami Yoshimitsu that none of them wanted to throw their soldiers in the siege of Nagasaki Castle. Attacking the city overnight, with two or three hundred casualties, Murakami Yoshimitsu's face was as calm as water, and his heart was actually very anxious. He also knew that once the casualties were too large, the Date family would react, and heavy troops would come to the back road, and the defense line of Xiangdao would inevitably be lost. Once the island is lost, the narrowest point between the two islands is only three or four miles, and it can be spent by small boats at low tide, and the large soldiers are placed in the south of the island, and the troops in the north of the island are empty and unable to resist.

Seeing that the generals were opposed to continuing the assault, Murakami Yoshimitsu understood that his descendants had set an example, and the next wave of attacks would be the generals' subordinates, so they advised one after another in order to preserve their own strength, otherwise why not come to advise when the first wave of attacks was launched.

If the descendants of the army were allowed to attack again, they were afraid that they would also cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates, so Murakami Yoshimitsu had to be humble and accept the advice, leaving Miyachi Akimitsu to build a small city to monitor Nagasaki Castle, and then return to Shimamae Castle in an attempt to lure Murakami Ryōyasu out of the city for a decisive battle.

Seeing that the enemy army was retreating, where did he still have the courage to send troops to meet the battle, he sent several waves of cronies to Date to ask for help in small boats, and at the same time strengthened the city defenses and prepared for a long-term confrontation.
