Ando Tokubei's words stirred everyone's nerves, yes, quit the safe Toyama Castle, there was no way out under the heavy rain, the river rose and flooded the road, and the ashigaru people could flee into the mountains and forests as birds and beasts, but the samurai who had managed to save a qiē said that it was gone, and no one would be willing to give up a qiē unilaterally when the battle was stalemate, not to mention that they had not completely failed, but just let people rush to the castle wall single-handedly. Thinking of this, the samurai retainers broke out one after another, and their own soldiers saw the master's outbreak and re-grasped their blades to join the battle, plus the first wooden gate had been opened, and more and more people rushed into Toyama Castle, and the battlefield fell into a state of stalemate, which was a result that no one wanted to see, and the defenders of the city would increase the difficulty of defending the city, and the casualties of the siege would also increase.
Ueno Delong knew that he could not win in one fell swoop, and the advantage he created would soon be lost, and he could still get a temporary chance of winning by punching and rushing, but after a long time, the shortcomings of the body in the crowd would be revealed, one side was waiting for work, and the other side was no longer able to climb Yasaka Mountain on a rainy day, he saw that the battle situation was moving towards a stalemate, and he knew that there was not much time left for him, and he saw that one of the fierce samurai in the enemy general rushed out and cut down several experts in the crowd, He even rushed in his direction, and the difference in appearance between the samurai of the Wakoku and the ashigaru was quite large, just like the difference between armor and foot equipment. Now that the samurai of Toyama Castle rushed over, Ueno Tokutaka quickly recognized him as a samurai of Toyama Castle, and he also roared, aiming at the enemy general who had just rushed over, a very simple shot, and hit it as a wooden stick.
The one who rushed over was the Ando Tokubei who had just beaten his nerves, he was not talking about the slow Yokoi Danma Mamoru, he was a samurai who did what he said, and when he saw Ueno Tokulong alone, he picked up the entire castle and fell into the downwind, and he was furious in his heart and killed the general, and he had long been on guard against the other party's attack, and he raised his sword and fought hard. For a while, the flames were chaotic, and the muffled sound was deafening. After all, Anton Debei was the defender, and under the strong shock, his hands were numb, and he suddenly felt that the person in front of him had great strength. At the moment when the beating paralyzed Anton's guard, Ueno Tokulong swung the bamboo gun around. The tip of the spear cut a chill in the rain. He roared, and then slammed his spear forward.
At the same time, Anton Debei also raised his sword with a loud roar, and the swords and guns of the two quickly collided together. In an instant, the knives and guns collided together, the bamboo spears were cut off, and the knives were also shaken off, and both of them lost their balance and took a step back. Ueno Tokuron, who had only taken a step back, quickly pulled out his wakes and pounced on Anton's guards again. His left hand grabbed his neck guard, and his right hand held the wakicha high and slammed it into his face. Anton Debei obviously didn't want to be so decided, and he grabbed the opponent's right hand with both hands and wrestled with each other.
Hand-to-hand combat is the most martial arts, and the most important thing for samurai in the cold weapon era is hand-to-hand combat skills, close to each other, subduing the enemy, making it ineffective, and then using a dagger or short knife to lightly take the enemy's level. And in the Wa country. Among the various hand-to-hand combat techniques, the first goal is to subdue the enemy to the ground, and this concept has been inherited by today's judo. The Tatsura and Takeuchi sword techniques learned by the Katayama father and son of the Date family were carried forward by this skill, and Ando Tokubei had learned under Ping and Takeuchi Hisamori for a period of time, and had relied on hand-to-hand combat skills to make achievements many times. Ueno Toklong didn't let it go. Hand-to-hand combat is a compulsory course for almost every traditional samurai, and the two of them have won and lost each other, but neither of them can kill each other in the first place.
Just when Ueno Delong tried to kill Antonbei, Antonbei's strength was blocked. Suddenly, Ueno Delong felt someone raising a knife from behind, and he had no choice but to give up and continue to attack Anton. Returning is a knife. The person who raided probably didn't expect Ueno Delong to have such gravity, and the knife in his hand was immediately crooked. Ueno Delong turned around and slapped the attacker's neck, and the man screamed, his neck snapped, and he fell to the ground. Yokoi Tajima Mamoru exclaimed and wailed, "Kojiro, my son, kill, kill me!" "The sneak attacker who was killed and wanted to make a cheap profit was his sister-in-law, I didn't expect that now the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, how could he not be angry, and he didn't care about other thoughts, he wanted to kill Ueno Delong, urging others to kill the general quickly, but his pace was even slower, in exchange for more people's disdain.
Seeing that Ueno Tokulong dared to distract him when the two were wrestling, Ando Tokubei also flew up and kicked Ueno Tokulong in the waist who had just broken Yokoi Kojiro's neck. Ueno Delon shivered in pain, and he almost couldn't hold it. Ueno Tokulong held back the pain and saw that Anton Debei was still trying to fly up and kick his neck, but he also took the opportunity to tilt his body to avoid his attack, and stabbed Anton Debei directly in the chest in his hand. Anton Debei couldn't dodge, he was stabbed in, his eyes widened, he looked at Ueno Delong in disbelief, his eyes were fierce in an instant, and his hands tightly grabbed Ueno Delong's hands to prevent him from pulling out the coercion and pushing the other party to rush to the edge of the city wall, with the meaning of ending up together.
Where does Ueno Delong want to die with Anton Debei, he has already won, he wants to get rid of his hands but it is difficult to pull them out for a while, and he can't do it if he wants to get out, he tries his best to block Anton Debei's deathly pushing, and his steps are still helpless to retreat towards the edge of the city wall. Several of Anton Debei's subordinates found that their master was seriously injured, and they ran over and rushed up frantically to storm Ueno Delong, taking advantage of the situation to rescue the seriously injured Anton Debei. Ueno Delong was immediately stabbed twice in his body, but he was also out of danger, and Anton Tokubei retreated to the rear under the pull of his two men, and the others continued to besiege Ueno Delong, who had just escaped from the same perilous place. Ueno Toktoryu's men also gathered around him from the wooden gate, protecting the slightly injured castle lord and guarding the first wooden gate without danger.
The brave Anton Debei was seriously injured and unconscious, and the others once again fell into the idea of cowardly fighting and avoiding the war, Yokoi Tajima Mamori even had the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing, and he was timid, and suddenly fought separately, and lost his ground, most of them began to retreat to the second wooden gate, and some took the opportunity to flee outside the city. The crowd didn't have the idea of killing them all, so they wanted to seize Toyama Castle, and there was a safe place to take shelter from the rain for a while, get a good night's sleep and eat a full meal, it was as simple as that. The fleeing people ran faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, and no one noticed that there was more Yokoi Tajima Mamoru in the fleeing crowd, and no one noticed that no one noticed it, whether it was the attacking side or the garrison side.
Ueno Tokulong did not rest, and neither did the crowd, they all knew that now was the time to take advantage of the situation to attack, if the defenders of Toyama Castle were relieved, there would be more casualties, whether they could still capture Toyama Castle was really a matter of two words, even if they looted the village on a rainy day, they could not feed more than 2,000 mouths, and only while they still had the strength to capture Toyama Castle and seize the food in Toyama Castle could they survive the crisis. The people of Toyama Castle were panicked, and the people who were attacking were not having a good time, and nearly 100 people were killed in the battle just now. However, it did not attract the attention of Ueno Tokulong and others, they all lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and they looked at life and death very lightly, and no one shed tears for the dead.
The battle once again began under the attack and defense of both sides, without the bravery of Anton Debei, and without the licking noise of Yokoi but Ma Shou, it was unfortunate to fall into a state of stalemate, and the casualties continued to increase, although Yokoi but Ma Mamori was despised by all the samurai of Toyama Castle, but the situation of losing his licking and fighting for each other was more intense, and the advantage of the crowd inevitably expanded, and the second wooden door was opened after paying the price of more than 100 people again, and one wooden door after another was opened, The bodies of the casualties paved the road leading to the castle tower. Anton Debei had already fled for his life in the rain under the protection of more than a dozen personal soldiers, and more and more samurai of Toyama Castle fled from Toyama Castle, and the victory of the sky completely fell to the side of the crowd.
Overnight, Toyama Castle, known as the southeast barrier of the Matsuda clan, was destroyed under the onslaught of the first group, and the first group also paid a very heavy price, and there was no longer the strength to continue to advance. Most of the samurai retainers in Toyama Castle fled, and it is ridiculous and sad that more samurai fell to death when they fled down the mountain than they were hacked to death on the spot, and Anton Tokubei, who was unable to fight anymore, escaped the rain and the infection of his wounds in the abandoned temple in the mountains near Toyama Castle, but his fate will be turned upside down, with the arrival of the political balance.
This battle of Toyama Castle, which no one expected, broke out in this way on the land of Bigo, like a thug who stripped off the coat of the Matsuda clan's outer powerhouse and gave the Matsuda clan a hard slap in the face, and the retainers of the originally dissatisfied foreign feudal faction set up their own doors one after another, and the once powerful Matsuda clan, the former overlord of the Western Bun, came to fall apart.
Masahiro, who was drinking tea in Takamatsu Castle, only learned about the battle at Toyama Castle on the day after the heavy rain stopped, that is, on the afternoon of July 2, he learned about the approximate outcome of Toyama Castle, and the heavy rain fell all night, and the river did not break out of the flood as he expected, so that his territory was not greatly affected, so he could continue to wait for the results of the turmoil caused by the impact of the battle of Toyama Castle, and he would not return to Tsuru Castle to deal with the crisis caused by the flood.
