"Take Suzuka Pass?!"
Kamo Xianxiu looked at Sanyun Chengzhi in surprise, he didn't know where Sanyun Chengzhi got the courage, Suzuka Pass is one of the three passes in the world, could it be that Sanyun Chengzhi thought that Suzuka Pass and the Fengsaka Pass he once guarded surrendered without a fight, causing the situation to change suddenly.
Sankumo nodded at Gamo Kenxiu. He frowned and looked at the Suzuka Pass that had been repaired, from this position he couldn't see the specific layout of the gate, and the figures of the soldiers guarding the pass were relatively blurry, but he could still see one thing, Suzuka Pass was no longer the Suzuka Pass that was half broken and could come and go freely without passing through the gate, and the horizontal wall had blocked the road, if you wanted to pass, you had to pass through the gate of the city pass, otherwise the wall would have to be destroyed again.
Kamo Xianxiu's face was not good-looking, he knew that the casualties of the hard rush to Suzuka Pass would inevitably be heavy, although he had already come to consciousness, but when he really went to the battlefield, he still waited until Sanyun Chengzhi arrived before he came to knock on Suzuka Pass, and asked: "Is it to copy the trail to the back of Suzuka Pass." He thought of a possibility.
On the border between Omi Province and Ise Province, there is a rolling mountain range in the middle, and there are many trails that can bypass Suzuka Pass, but the mountains are rich in vegetation and Suzuka Pass is always like a nail across the supply line, and if you want to go from Omi Province to Ise Province, you must uproot Suzuka Pass.
Sanyun Chengzhi shook his head and said, "It's still easy to bypass Suzuka Pass and then flank back and forth." However, the order given to us by the regent is to knock on Suzuka Pass, and I still do less and do not do anything that is good at advocating outside the festival. Besides, the wise army will not be guarded, as long as they send people to monitor the road, it is impossible to sneak attack. After all, there are 3,000 of us, of whom there are more than 1,000 soldiers. First, there is no time, and secondly, there are few soldiers in hand, and they take the trail to Suzuka Pass to bypass, which is a self-defeating road. ”
Seeing that Sanyun Chengzhi denied his previous speculation, Kamo Xianxiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Then how to capture Suzuka Pass, is it really hard to fight?" ”
Mikumo Narichi shook his head with a smile, looked at Gamo Kenhide, and said, "Before I set out on the expedition, I went to Sawa Mountain Castle to ask Lord Saemon for a team to help me fight, and Lord Saemon finally handed over twenty people to me. Originally, I was a little hesitant, but after seeing their skills, I was full of confidence, and Suzuka Seki was not worried. ”
Gamo Kenhide knew that the Saemon Governor was Miyazawa Heihachi, the lord of Sawa Mountain Castle, and he didn't know what secret weapon Miyazawa Heihachi handed over to Mikumo Cheng, so that Mikumo Naru was full of confidence, his eyes showed puzzled eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I don't know what kind of ability it is?" ”
Sanyun Chengzhi glanced at Kamo Xianxiu, and then gave an order to the army behind him: "Pass my order, put the bow and arrow first, shoot the letters of persuasion one by one, and give a reply within an hour." Assemble the catapult at the same time and get ready for battle! ”
Catapult, Gamo Kenhide naturally knew that this was the siege weapon of the Date family, and it was effective in wars many times. However, the catapult was obviously not the secret weapon in Sanyun Chengzhi's mouth, and seeing that Sanyun Chengzhi was reluctant to say more, he had to hesitate for a moment and say no more.
One hour is the time for the catapult to be assembled, which is not a waste of time at all.
Three thousand, this is the number of soldiers and horses measured by Miyake Yaheiji, he knew that he had fallen into a bad situation, and all the information obtained from the second attack was invalid, and the direct consequence was that he needed to rely on 500 people to hold on to the end without reinforcements.
Miyake Yaheiji knew that the Wise Army was pouring out of the nest, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the nest, and all he could wait for now was to hold on until the Wise Army was victorious. As long as the Wise Army is victorious in attacking Nanshiqi, the Suzuka Pass side will be able to get some reinforcements.
Miyake Yaheiji looked at the movement of the enemy troops on the opposite side, and commanded: "Archers prepare!" "Suzuka Pass was at the forefront of the defense against the Omi Kingdom, and Akechi Mitsuhide left behind a lot of weapons to defend the castle before leaving, including the golden juice of the rolling stone of the saki.
In the era of cold weapons, most of the time the bow and arrow on the battlefield ranked first in the number of kills, from the beginning the two sides shot each other up and down Suzuka Pass, the bow and arrow made a whistling sound in the air, and then fell in the middle of the military formation.
The casualty ratio, the wise army with the level defense is slightly superior, because the combined forces of Mikumo and Gamo use mostly strong bows, and the range is long and powerful, the casualties on both sides are actually not large, so the castle head cheers from time to time, but it makes Miyake Yaheiji frown tightly.
Five catapults were built from scratch in the open space of Jurakuji Temple in front of Suzuka Seki.
When Kamo Xianxiu saw it, he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Although this catapult is powerful, it can't be thrown high, I'm afraid that it won't be effective against this Suzuka Pass?!" ”
Sanyun Chengzhi grinned and said, "How can I not know this? Today, let Dr. Saemon take a look at the secret weapon of the Date family, and give the order to go down and bake the jade! At the sound of an order, a group of people moved wooden boxes from the trailer, and then carefully opened the wooden boxes, and removed the swarthy pottery from the straw pile. It is a grenade-like weapon that is used by naval forces in the Seto Inland Sea by filling a clay pot with gunpowder and lighting a fuse and throwing it at the enemy. However, the so-called baked jade here is an enlarged version of the clay pot weapon similar to the original baked jade, which is mostly filled with oil, and once ignited, the power is amazing.
Miyake Yahei had already discovered the catapult under the mountain, the so-called gun carriage, he knew that it was a siege weapon of the Date family, in fact, the wise army also copied some, attacking Heijo was effective, and it didn't have much effect on Yamashiro, let alone Suzuka Pass.
However, Miyake Yaheiji still ordered the defenders of the castle to hold their heads in their hands, clinging to the root of the wall, waiting for the enemy's assault, which in his eyes would eventually enter into brutal hand-to-hand combat. As long as one or two waves of enemy assaults are repulsed, Suzuka Pass will be held.
The distance was calculated, the fuse was lit on the oil bomb, and in the midst of the sizzling sound, the samurai who commanded the catapult had a stunned face and ordered: "Listen to my orders, release!" With a soft sound, five baked jades were projected out, three baked jades smashed into the city pass, and two baked jades hit the city head, only to hear a bang, and suddenly the flames flew up, making the people on the city gate suddenly chaotic.
"Listen to me, let go!" At this moment, the flame is not big, so the catapult pulled up again, and suddenly, another batch of baked jade fell up, this time all hit, just a moment, a large number of flames rose, in the flames, more than ten people were full of fire, struggling and screaming, the scene was terrible.
Although the actual damage is not large, the deterrent effect is more terrifying than more than ten times the death.
"Listen to me, let go!" The third wave of baked jade fell, and suddenly Suzuka Pass was in chaos, and the morale of the defenders completely collapsed.
Kamo Xianxiu looked at the tragic situation on Suzuka in a daze, his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble, he couldn't bear to look at it, and quickly lowered his head, he knew what he was afraid of, if he chose to resist to the end, I don't know if it would fall on his head.
After three waves, the catapult was no longer projected, and Mikumo Narichi looked at Gamo Kenhide and said, "It's time for Doctor Saemon to act." ”
Kamo Xianxiu was stunned, he knew that Suzuka Pass had collapsed now, even if it hadn't collapsed, it was close to the edge, and now the siege could be said to be a credit to him, but he didn't ask, and after calming down, he began to call his subordinates, and led his subordinates to start a formation assault.
Gamo Kenhide cautiously advanced on the mountain road, preparing to lead his men to attack the city, of course, he also ordered his subordinates to carry mud bags to advance, the oil is not extinguished by water, can only be covered with sand, how to kill a few heads to make a battle feat.
Unexpectedly, Suzuka Pass actually opened the city, and it was immediately closed.
In fact, when the baked jade fell on the Suzuka Gate, Miyake Yaheiji knew that the Suzuka Pass could not be held, but he did not immediately order the withdrawal from the wall, he did not want to take the responsibility for losing the pass, especially the responsibility of being broken just after the battle.
If you don't want to be responsible, it's difficult to keep Suzuka Pass, and the wise army guarding Suzuka Pass is not a rabble, all of them are veterans of the battlefield, but today they are immediately on the verge of collapse, and if it weren't for Miyake Yahei's bullet pressure, I'm afraid they would immediately turn around and escape.
When Kamo Kenhide led his men to assault, Miyake Yaheiji looked at his miserable and panicked subordinates, and he knew that it was an impossible task to hold on to his current morale, so he had to order the withdrawal of the wall and think about it again. Of course, he chose a squad to be the queen of the palace.
What I didn't expect was that after seeing that it was abandoned, the team immediately switched on and off to surrender, but in fact, the door was still burning at the moment, and it was pulled open with a hook.
Gamo Kenhide did not choose to pursue, in fact, he could not pursue, first, the mountain road was rugged, and secondly, Suzuka Pass was full of fires, and it was very difficult to pass, so he had to order to cover the fire with dirt, and by the time the fire was extinguished, the wise army had long since disappeared.
In a deserted temple at the exit of Suzuka Pass, Miyake Yaheiji's heart was churning, his eyes were blazing, and he could see the miserable and panicked remnants of the defeated generals everywhere, his face was very ugly, he saw the arrival of the deputy general, and asked, "What, how much is left?" ”
The adjutant general replied with a mournful voice: "My lord, there are five hundred defenders in total, and there are three hundred and twenty-three left. ”
After hesitating for a moment, the adjutant general asked, "My lord, what should I do next?" Is it to return to Kameyama Castle, or is it? ”
Miyake Yaheiji gritted his teeth and said, "I can't go back, now I can only clear ourselves of the sin of attacking and harassing the enemy army in the mountains and fields and delaying the pace of the enemy army." Besides, if you think about such siege weapons, can Guishan City defend it? ”
When the adjutant general thought of today's battle situation, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and he responded: "Yes!" ”
After a while, Miyake Yaheiji said again: "Send someone to report to the lord about the situation of Suzukaseki and me, and ask for guidance!" (To be continued.) )
