Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1023 Enemies 9
The street fighting continued, and the Hongye Army soldiers continued to bleed. Even though Yu Qiu Shang repeatedly emphasized the need to control casualties, how could the Hongye Army soldiers be spared under the Oda family's attack method that specifically targeted Hongye Army soldiers?
Among them, there are also quite a few who, like Goro Uchida, are used to risking their own lives to save their brothers. How can the military spirit developed in the past twenty years be changed by just one order?
As the soldiers of the Red Leaf Army were killed one after another, more and more squadrons and even brigades lost all the soldiers of the Hongye Army, and had to select temporary captains from volunteers to take over the command. The battle had declined greatly. And the strength of the Yuqiu family defenders
The battle line was also continuously compressed, until at noon on June 15, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), they were all driven back to Sannomaru. The Oda army launched a non-stop attack on the Sannomaru city wall, and Yuqiu Shang had to
Pull all the detachments that are still barely capable of fighting to the city wall - most of them are from the original Dongcheng garrison. Because the Kanto daimyo under the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu did not adopt the policy of focusing on killing the Red Leaf Army soldiers, so the Dongcheng garrison
The team still retained a relatively complete structure. Even so, Sannomaru Castle immediately fell into a hard battle.
At this time, in the inner city of Sannomaru, more than 50 remaining soldiers of the 7th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Wing of the Hokujo Guards were resting against the wall. Two days ago, there were more than 160 soldiers.
Only one-third of them are left now, and basically everyone is injured. Even the squadron leader has been replaced twice. Such a horrific casualty ratio has far exceeded the tolerance of ordinary troops, but the volunteers of Maple Leaf Mountain City relied on
They are still persisting with their tenacious will. They know that they are fighting for revenge for their Highness Hongye. They know that they are fighting to protect their hometown and their parents, wives and children behind them. They cannot lose or retreat.
, otherwise there will be nothing.
Yosaburo stared at his father in confusion. His two pants were stained with blood, and a chipped knife was stuck on his waist. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yosaburo would never have believed him.
That timid father was fighting hard in the streets not long ago and killed two enemies with his own hands. Those were ferocious enemy warriors...his father clearly couldn't even fight two rioters with kitchen knives.
I was afraid and didn’t dare to come out to protect my grandparents, but why are I so brave now? I don’t look like a person...
Wensuke noticed the child's gaze, but did not understand the child's gaze. He just whispered to Yosaburo: "Saburo, if I die in the battle, you will take over as the captain of the 7th Squadron. Follow the order.
You just need to listen to the order of Mr. Sato who is riding on the horse over there. Then I asked the man of the Sixth Squadron. He said that if there is a review meeting, he will bring people from our squadron there. You follow him
Just go."
"Father..." Yosaburo was about to speak again, but suddenly he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He looked closely and found that the person who came was Yu Qiu Shang's trusted guard Sanada Nobushige, who seemed to be here to deliver orders. He saw that he was clear.
With his voice, he immediately shouted loudly:
"All volunteers, listen to the order, the Sannomaru neighborhood and the Ninomaru city wall are our last positions! Now the Ninomaru wall is filled with evacuated residents, logistics teams and wounded people, and we can no longer fill it! We
There is no way to retreat! If Ninomaru's city wall is destroyed
If we break through, we won't be able to protect the people!" After shouting, Sanada Nobushige continued to ride his horse to the next place where volunteers gathered without stopping, yelling orders with his hoarse throat over and over again.
"All volunteers obey orders..."
All the volunteers were silent after hearing the news. The squadron waiting to rest inside the city wall were basically the remnant soldiers who had lost all the Red Leaf Army commanders. They looked at the top of Ninomaru and could vaguely see
The stairs at the top of the city are also crowded with people. Once the Ninomaru city wall falls, everything will be lost. Be it home, relatives, this city, or Yu Qiu's family... Yu Qiuping has been working for these people for more than ten years.
Everything created will also be destroyed. Everyone did not communicate much, but silently held their weapons tightly.
·
At three o'clock in the morning, the city wall of Sannomaru was also declared to have fallen. The last soldiers of the Hongye Army bled their last blood on the wall. There were now less than 2,000 soldiers of the 15,000 Hongye Army and the garrison. Nirvana was sent to
There were very few soldiers left as commanders in each unit. In several days of defense battles, they caused more than 40,000 casualties to the Oda army, but the outnumbered Oda family did not stop the attack at all.
Meaning. The troops returning from Sanyo Road, Sanin Road and Saikai Road are on the way. When they all arrive, there will be a large number of troops. The Oda family does not have to worry about manpower at all. How can they besiege a family with the power of the whole world?
Do you care about casualties?
At this time, on the wall of Sannomaru North Castle, the samurai of the Oda family had completely relaxed. Even the most cautious Hori Hidemasa could not find any reason to worry at this moment.
"More than 10,000 corpses of the Red Leaf Army have been found on the battlefield. The remaining soldiers of the Red Leaf Army who are still able to fight should be no more than 3,000." Yamauchi Kazutoyo looked at the data sent by Mesuke and sighed with a complicated mood.
He had a relationship with Yu Qiuping before, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the Yu Qiu family in such a predicament.
"The young master wants us to transport most of the large tubes across the Yodogawa River, and transfer a small part of the large tubes to the fortifications in the southwest of the city. We must start to deploy defenses and prepare for the counterattack after the Red Leaf Army returns to the division." Hori Hidemasa looked at the large tubes.
The team dragged a large barrel towards the outside of the city and said, "There will be no cover for the subsequent attack."
"What kind of cover do we need? Almost all the Hongye Army is dead, and the remaining people are only a few hundred thousand civilians, not even stragglers." Hiroyuki Hiroyuki laughed and pointed at the people hiding in the houses in the Sannomaru neighborhood.
The Yuqiu family volunteers were preparing to continue resisting. Their clumsy actions and deployment made Feng Wu Lailong unable to hold back his laughter, "Guess how long they can hold out? Can they survive the sunset?"
"Two hours at most." Kawajiri Hidetaka sneered disdainfully, which was echoed by everyone in the Oda family. At this time, they would not have thought that the weak people in their eyes who could only last for two hours would use
What kind of miracles can you create with your own will and blood?
·
After the Oda Army captured the Sannomaru Castle Wall, they did not stop for a moment and immediately rushed towards the streets inside Sannomaru. Facing the wolf-like elites of the Oda family, the volunteers lost the leadership and command of the Hongye Army soldiers.
, fell into a hard fight almost instantly. A dance hall where the 7th Squadron was stationed was
The northern part of Sannomaru bore the brunt.
"Uncle Wen, someone is banging on the door at the north gate. We are blocking the door with chairs and tables, but it seems we can't block it anymore!"
"Heisuke, please bring three more people to help!"
"Brother Wenzhu, there are people coming from the south gate too! What a powerful warrior, there are not enough people at the gate!"
"Torinosuke, quickly lead your people to block the door!"
"Assistant Wen, someone broke into the toilet on the west side and is almost in the corridor!"
"Hurry up and take everyone else here to help! Don't let them go around behind the north gate!"
Yosaburo was standing behind his father at the moment, watching his father clumsily imitate Junji Mitsui and Goro Uchida in commanding. For the first time since he was a child, he felt that his father's back was so reliable and reassuring. But not yet.
After he enjoyed the first harmonious relationship between father and son in more than ten years, a scream suddenly came from the window on the second floor. Without saying anything, Wensuke stood up and ran over there with Saburo.
.
When they rushed to the window, they discovered that an Oda samurai had somehow managed to climb directly from the wall to the second floor, kicked open the window and came in, hacking a volunteer soldier to the ground on the spot.
"Sanlang, let's go!" Wenzhu yelled, and without waiting for Saburo to react, he slashed at him with his sword. The samurai waved his sword with disdain and blocked Wensuke's sword. Seeing Saburo
Zhuoyi gritted his teeth and rushed forward suddenly, and at the same time he stood up and stabbed the samurai, but was kicked to the ground and rolled out a long way. By the time Yosaburo got up, Wensuke was already wrestling with the samurai.
Together. But the samurai was obviously much stronger and pushed Fumusuke to the ground. Yosaburo hurriedly drew his sword and rushed over. When the samurai saw this, he also picked up the knife and tried to chop at Yosaburo's legs. Fumisuke was in a hurry.
He raised his hand to block the knife, and half of his palm was cut off directly. However, the samurai was also caught off guard, and was hit on the shoulder by Yosaburo's knife. Blood spattered instantly. Yosaburo was shaken by the reaction force and dropped the knife in a hurry.
He bent down to check the sword, but the samurai was knocked back twice. He wanted to swing his sword to fight back, but Bunsuke held his arm again. The samurai became angry, took out his ribs from his waist, and stabbed Bunsuke.
waist.
"Father!" Yosaburo yelled and felt his mind go blank. He stabbed the samurai with a knife, penetrating through the samurai's neck, and nailed him to the wall behind him. Yosaburo hurriedly knelt down to check Wensuke's condition, but in vain.
Ji took off his sleeves and pressed them on Wenzhu's waist to stop the bleeding, but it had no effect. At this time, the sound of fighting came from the whole house, the door seemed to have been broken through, and there was a rattling sound on the stairs. And on the street outside the house
, the sound of the Oda family's army attacking could also be heard, and the 7th Squadron in the dance hall was already cornered.
"Let everyone hide in the compartments on the second floor..." Wensuke's voice trembled, and he said intermittently while taking a breath of cold air. Yosaburo conveyed the order to his father with tears in his eyes, then carried his father on his back and fled into the narrow room with everyone.
In the compartment. After a while, the Oda army surrounded them. The only two dozen volunteers left in the compartment used the cabinets in the compartment to block the door desperately, while the Oda troops outside the door kept bumping into each other.
The door. Yosaburo was holding his father who was still losing blood and burst into tears.
