Okabe Nobumoto under the throne castle saw that the morale of the defenders in the city was getting higher and higher, and naturally it would not continue to develop, so he waved the army in his hand, and the army under his command finally began to attack the castle.

At the forefront were the Kuno clan who had escaped after being attacked by the army of Roshi Shinra. In the process of losing his castle and fleeing to Suruga Province, the governor of the Kuno family, Kuno Tadamune, and others encountered the forces of Okabe Nobumoto, so they followed the army back to Enoe Province. After receiving a personal promise from Nobumoto Okabe that once the castle was taken, the castle and the surrounding territories would return to the hands of the Kuno family, so the Kuno family, led by Kuno Tadamune, became the vanguard of this attack.

This time, in addition to the 150 remnants of the Kuno family, there are nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Imagawa family, and the most effective of them belongs to the 150 remnants of the Kuno family. It's just that when Kuno Tadamune looked at the seemingly tall royal castle (in fact, the city walls were already relatively low compared to Kagawa Castle), he suddenly felt that he had never felt that this castle was built so high, and he needed to tilt his head so high. Seeing that his subordinates were about to collide with the castle, Kuno Tadamune suddenly regretted that he should not have listened to the bewitchment of Okabe Motoshin and came to take the lead. What do you say that after the next royal city is built, let the Kuno family revivenation, and what will be rebuilt after everyone is dead?

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, the crowding of people behind has already blocked the way to retreat, and once he retreats, I'm afraid that the red-eyed Imagawa soldiers behind him will tear his group to pieces first, so Kuno Tadamune shouted to the two nephews beside him: "Zongneng, Yuanzong, follow me." "Motomune Kuno is his son. Kuno Soneng is his nephew. The two children were originally responsible for directing people to knock on the door. Now he obviously looked at Kuno Tadazong with some doubts, but Kuno Tadamune didn't talk nonsense, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to hit the wood, prepare to hit the wood, hit me!" ”

Seven or eight members of the remnants of the Kuno family carried the crashing wood and walked silently towards the city gate. There were also hundreds of Imagawa family soldiers around the crashing wood, waiting to rush in as soon as they hit the city gate, and the other members of the Kuno family party had already been surrounded by the crowd and could not move.

"Kill!" Hundreds of Imagawa soldiers shouted in unison. Rushing straight to the city gate with the smashing wood.

On the top of the city, Takahashi Shaoyun, who was responsible for guarding a section of the city gate and was responsible for guarding a section of the city gate, said with a smile: "Brothers, give them a bath!" The words were very elegant, but in fact they were very bloody, and the hot water kept pouring down from the head of the castle, and it fell on the bodies of the Okabe Motonobu troops below, and they immediately screamed in pain.

And the defenders at the head of the city obviously didn't give these Okabe Motoshin troops a chance to attack, "Brothers, kill all these Okabe Motoshin troops for me!" Imagawa Fuling on the other side also shouted loudly at this time. With his order, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air sounded like a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" on the head of the city. In an instant, the troops of Okabe Motonobu who were charging fell by hundreds of people.

In the storm of hot water and bows and arrows, Okabe Motonobu's soldiers were constantly injured and fell, some of Okabe Motonobu soldiers were directly killed at the door, some of Okabe Motonobu's soldiers were injured and could not move, some were trampled to death by later people, and some were covered in blood and struggled to escape from this dead place at the door.

Kuno Tadamune watched in pain as his people struggled in the crowd, struggling and writhing, trying to escape for their lives but never being able to do so. His two sons and nephews followed him closely, trembling and at a loss, if he had just gone up to command, then there must have been himself in the crowd lying on the ground struggling desperately.

Seeing that Okabe Motonobu's soldiers were constantly screaming and crying, Kuno Tadamune, who had been in the crowd, began to dodge and hide from others to see him, wanting to evade the responsibility of the war command, but the soldiers of Okabe Motonobu who were surrounded by countless people with red eyes looked at him, which made his feet tremble involuntarily, and immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Hit the wood and continue to move forward, the hit wood can't stop for a moment, if the person can't be changed, the clansmen of the Kuno family, the archers press the formation, ready to shoot a salvo!" ”

Saying that, regardless of the crowd, he squeezed through the crowd and gathered the remnants of the Kuno family, and Kuno Tadamune looked at the remnants of the Kuno family who were only less than a hundred people left just now, and he was distressed, and he shouted loudly: "The archers are ready, suppress the attack at the head of the city, and continue to move forward by hitting the wood." ”

Immediately, Kuno Tadamune raised his spear and pointed forward: "Shoot!" ”

Immediately, more than a dozen clansmen stepped forward to pull their bows and arrows, raised their left hands and their right arms to draw hard, raised their bows to their eyes, glanced at their fingers, and with the buzzing sound of the bowstring vibrating, more than a dozen feathered arrows rushed towards the city.

It's just that these more than ten feather arrows have not caused much damage to the defenders in the city and immediately attracted a rain of arrows from the city to return fire, and several archers of the remnants of the Kuno family who stood out from the crowd under the city immediately became the live targets of the defenders of the city, and most of them did not have time to shoot the second arrow, so they fell in this rain of arrows, which was still caused by the protection of their companions beside them. But they bought precious time for Okabe Motonobu's army, and at this time, a dozen or twenty more men climbed over the barricades under the city, rushed to the city gate with a shout, and rushed to the city gate with a bumper on their backs.

"Iron cannon aim, fire, fire!" Seeing this, Cheng Song Nobusheng, the temporary iron cannon general of the cage city battle, immediately ordered loudly, there are a total of thirty-two iron cannons in the city, which is not much, but the stuffed are all scattered bullets, and these iron gunners are all from the Luo family, and the shooting accuracy is relatively accurate, so the projectile hit the crowd and immediately caused the enemy soldiers to have burning wounds all over their faces. Immediately, the iron cannon standing continued to condescendingly use the cover of the earthen wall and the city head to release the guns downward.

However, the lethality of the scattered bullets to personnel was limited, and they could only kill a few people sporadically, which only played a little restrictive role for the strength of Okabe Motonobu's army, so I saw that the enemy troops were still gritting their teeth and opening their red eyes towards the city gate, crashing. However, their progress was slow due to the stubborn resistance of the defenders.

Seeing that it was difficult to break through the castle gate, Okabe Motonobu was anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly to boost morale, if he could not break through the castle, this time the campaign against Imagawa Burial Zero would fail, and his dream of becoming the first general of the Imagawa family would come to naught. So after gritting his teeth, Okabe Motoshin waved his hand again, and the remaining 2,000 Imagawa family soldiers were also pushed out, and only less than 100 Imagawa family and the main family samurai remained by his side.

Okabe Motonobu's army swept to the foot of the castle like a tide, carrying the banner of the red bird pattern and rushing forward, while the defenders of the castle desperately fired their guns and arrows to counterattack and throw stones down. Although the walls of the royal castle were not too high, because Yamamoto Kansuke had made full preparations in advance, and the besieging side seemed to have come in a hurry and did not have too many siege tools, they could not give full play to their advantages of being numerous, and they stormed for nearly an hour, seeing heavy casualties, and still could not break through the city gate. As time passed, the momentum of the attack became weaker and weaker, and all the people who died in the battle at the beginning were the fanatical soldiers of the Imagawa family who were the backbone of the Imagawa family.

Okabe Motonobu looked anxious behind the battle, and ordered repeatedly, urging everyone to continue attacking, and so on three or five times, each time they were defeated and retreated due to various reasons, with nearly 1,000 casualties. Seeing this, the rest of the Imagawa family retainers around him hurriedly persuaded them to stop the war, and Okabe Motonobu had no choice but to order the troops to be collected, and the soldiers of the Imagawa family from all directions were called on to gather and fight again.

Okabe Motoshin didn't want to fight again, but Roshi Nobuya and Yamamoto Kansuke in the city didn't give Okabe Motoshin's army a chance to rest, and they immediately issued an order to attack the whole army: "Attacking and defending is the way to defend the city, prepare horses, I will rush him for a while, so that they dare not underestimate us." ”

Because it was not in Kyushu, where the Luo family's home was located, they did not have many cavalry, and they had found a total of twenty-three war horses in a series of sieges, so they were organized by Luo Xinliang into a scout team.
