The 229th chapter siege (1)

In the early morning of January 6, the Oda family, which had surrounded Ota Castle last night, was about to launch a general attack on Ota Castle. At the 3 o'clock in the morning, an evaluation meeting was held in Oda Nobunaga's large tent.

"This is the latest information," Takigawa Ichie got the instructions of Nobunaga Oda and began to read a stack of papers at his hand. "Sakama arrived at the north of Okazaki Castle at 3 o'clock yesterday. The troops of the Matsuhei family also left Okazaki Castle and fought against him through Yasakikawa, with about 1,000 people."

"This should be the main force of Sankawa Tubo," Yoshihiro Ikeda snorted disdainfully, "They have only 3,000 people in total."

"Not necessarily," out of caution, Yu Qiuping shook his head and said, "Five months ago, the Songping family had more than 2,000 troops. After nearly half a year of restoration and convening old subordinates, their number is likely to rise further, and it may be close to 4,000 people. After all, after all, after the 290,000 shi territory of Sanhe was restored, it was no problem to recruit more than 8,000 troops and nearly 3,000 soldiers."

"Is there so many?" Yoshihiro Ikeda was shocked and turned his eyes to Oda Nobunaga, who smiled unanimously.

"Will His Highness Sakuma be in danger?" asked Fanxiu, a tie, with some concern, "If the Matsuhira family can really mobilize troops with more than 1ooo warriors, the 300 warriors on His Highness Sakuma is likely not an opponent."

"Haha..." Before everyone could speak, the Maeda Taki family, who was standing behind Oda Nobunaga, laughed out loud, "Your Highness Sakuma, you have no ability to fight, but escaping is really awesome! Don't worry about your highness!"

"Hey!" Maeda's words made Hiroki Ikeda laugh, "Yes, at least there is a Yasakikawa, no matter what, our retreating general can still escape!"

"Give Yu a quieter." Oda Nobunaga seemed a little dissatisfied with his subordinates' casual attitude and scolded in a deep voice. Maeda Taki and Ikeda Yoshihiko immediately fell silent, but there was still a cheerful smile on their faces.

"Yanyoumon, you continue." Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows, and Takigawa Ichiro continued to report the information: "The information from Takuai Castle shows that there are also troops from the Matsue family in Zhili City, and their horse exploration is active on the south bank of Mengmai River. The two important bridges are guarded by the Matsue family troops to stop our army from crossing the river to investigate. Therefore, the specific number of troops from the Matsue family in Zhili City is still unclear."

"You are familiar with that, what do you think?" Oda Nobunaga threw the topic to Yu Qiuhei.

"The number of people will not be small." Yu Qiuping thought for a moment and spoke, "Zhilicheng is the core of the defense of the entire Sanhe River against Ozaka. The Matsue family will leave at least five or six hundred battle soldiers here, and the total force may be nearly two thousand."

"Then there are hundreds of people left in Okazaki Castle as a reserve team?" Oda Nobunaga tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's almost the same, very stable formation."

"Is there any reinforcements from Daigao Castle?" Shibata Katsuya spoke in a muffled voice, raising a key question to Takigawa Ichii.

"From all the information at present," Takigawa Ichie replied confidently: "There is no troops in the Matsuhira family who have passed by Imaikawa and has not shown his willingness to rescue Otaka Castle."

The division of the border between Ozawa and Sanhe almost overlaps with the Fengmai River. The Matsuhira family strictly guarded the Fengmai River and did not intend to cross the river. It can also be understood as giving up the fight for Ozawa and only seeking to control the Three Rivers.

"Then everything will be fine," Oda Nobunaga stood up sneered, shaking the black cloak behind him, "Today, take down Otaka Castle."

"Siege on all sides, don't let any enemy run away." Oda Nobunaga said coldly: "Yu is personally responsible for the North Gate and East Gate, the Yuqiu family, the Takigawa family, and the Sasa family are responsible for the South Gate, and the rest of the troops, led by the Shibada family, attack the West Gate."

"Everything is ready," Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and drove everyone out. "Takusou Mitsuki, attack together. The last one who climbed the city will be punished!"

At three o'clock in the morning, outside the south gate of Dagao City.

Yu Qiuping looked at the large number of siege equipment that had been built before, and felt mixed feelings. It seemed as if he had returned to Chili for two years. After seeing the dense siege equipment that became Oda's home, he felt confused and helpless.

The more than 200 Changban-made Red Leaf soldiers behind him were all finished. They were standing behind the commander, unlike the Takigawa family and Sasa family who were ready to go, the Red Leaf soldiers looked solemn and said nothing.

It was once the flag they fought for, it was the family they had loyal to, and even the defenders in Dagao City, and friends they knew. If they could choose, no one would attack the flag.

But there are some things that cannot be chosen by the lower class.

The sound of the horn was blowing, and then, the sound of thunderous war drums came from the direction of Oda Nobunaga's own formation.

Yu Qiuping looked at his subordinates waiting for orders behind him, and then looked up at the sky. Deafening shouts of killing came from all around him. Whether it was the Takigawa family, the Sasa family, or the troops from the three city gates farther away, they all shouted and pushed the siege equipment to rush up.

If someone could stare at Yu Qiuping's expression from a higher place, he would definitely see how sad and helpless his face was.

"ah--"

Yu Qiuping grabbed the horse's belly and tied the reins. The war horse man stood up. Yu Qiuping whistled up to the sky, not knowing whether it was catharsis or accusation; or wanted his roar to the sky, so that the two nobles in the sky could hear his helplessness and grief.

After roaring, he sat down on the horse with a loss of strength. He raised his right hand hard, as stiff as a thousand pounds.

He waved his right hand lightly, and his subordinates who received the order followed the auxiliary soldiers who were pushing the watchtower and the ladder, and were silently advancing towards the city wall.

He waved his right hand lightly and said goodbye to the past completely.

At this moment, at the top of the Nancheng city.

Marumar was just an ordinary stinger, from Suruga, who was a veteran who followed Nagato Urden to fight three times. Originally, this time, he followed the army of the army, Marumar was thinking about the Imakawa family's army advancing all the way, knocking down the opponents one by one, and giving his subordinates countless opportunities to capture. After robbing them, they robbed them and went home with a decent look.

Who would have thought that the situation suddenly changed. The family governor died in battle, and Asahina and Okabe had a civil war, and they fought to Toro River in one breath. And Yuqiu Hongye, who was in the limelight in recent years, was exiled and defected to Oda.

The worst thing is that their stubborn Emperor Utidian really defended Otaka Castle and never retreated. Even though Mikawa had changed the world, the Matsue family was almost semi-independent and there were no reinforcements from the Imakawa family. Oda Nobunaga's army was in a timely manner, and Otaka Castle was in danger. Their Utagawa Castle still didn't look like they wanted to retreat. Marumar and two fellow villagers tried to sneak back to Suruga before, but they were all caught and killed. After that, although there were still people who could escape from the city in scattered places, no one dared to discuss the return to Suruga in public places.

At this moment, looking at the Red Leaf soldiers who attacked silently, Maru felt very uncomfortable. He also admired Yu Qiuhei extremely, and admired the magical experience of turning from a white body into a prince consort for two years. However, this guy betrayed Imagawa Yoshimoto who treated him well! There were rumors before that Yu Qiuhei colluded with the Oda family and killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, but Yu Maru still didn't believe it! He had seen Princess Maple with his own eyes! Imagawa Yoshimoto married him, who was as beautiful as a fairy, how could Yu Qiuhei rebellion?

But this is the fact. After Yu Qiuhei failed to seize power, he was exiled, and he turned to Oda Nobunaga. So, he even brought the Oda family to call him!

Marumar knew that he would never go back to Suruga. He either died in battle or was a slave for life - this was all caused by Yu Qiuhei's rebellion! Now Yu Qiuhei has to kill himself with his own hands! He was so sad and angry that he suddenly stood up, supported the battlements and roared at the Red Leaf soldiers outside the wall: "The traitor who killed Qiandao! He would not die well!"

His voice immediately caused a chain reaction of Imakawa's family on the Nancheng wall. Everyone's anger was ignited, and they all slandered all kinds of filthy words. "The traitor who sells his owners and seeks honor!" "The ungrateful wolf in the hall killed!" "The shameless Ming people!" For a moment, there were curses on the Nancheng wall.

Yu Qiuping looked at the excited Imakawa family on the city wall, and listened to the unbearable insult, tears couldn't stop spinning in his eyes. Does this how the family he once defended to the death view him?

Chang Panbei's teenagers were all listless and said nothing. However, when they heard such bad filthy words and watched the people in the city humiliate their most beloved and innocent, His Highness Yuqiu, so angry began to burn in their hearts. Although they did not say a word, they all speeded up speechlessly, intending to climb to the top of the city and make these people shut their stinky mouths!

"Quick! Quick! Shoot the person who carried the cloud ladder!" Minumaran's foot head shouted loudly. As a bow and arrow, Minumaran immediately pulled forward, pulled his bow and arrow, cursing at an auxiliary soldier who carried the cloud ladder. His other friends also began to pour arrow rain into the city.

The troops carrying the ladders stopped, but the auxiliary soldiers who were pushing the watchtower successfully sent the archers from Yuqiu's family and Takigawa's family to the forefront. Under the leadership of Charlie, the archers stood condescendingly on the watchtower and began to suppress the firepower of the city. Marumar and the others were obviously not the opponents of Takabashi's archers, and were immediately shot at many people. Marumar himself hid behind the wall in a mess and could no longer lean over to attack. He commanded his feet and was killed by an arrow just now.

As Chang Panbei's subordinates easily suppressed the firepower at the city wall, ladders were pushed forward again and mounted onto the city wall. Chang Panbei's Red Leaf soldiers held the spears in their hands and began to climb the ladders.

This is their first siege, but the opponent is the Imakawa family.
Chapter completed!
