Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1039 Red Leaf 8
As a large number of siege weapons were carried out from the city and sent to the bastion one after another, the battle at the central bastion became increasingly fierce. The Oda family relied on their numerical advantage to attack the city, almost on the wall of the central bastion.
The stacks were filled with ladders, and they were constantly rushing upwards. After all, the number of soldiers Narubei and Hosoragibei were limited, and they seemed a little powerless in the face of such a large-scale offensive. The Red Leaf Army was able to use the structure of the bastion to kill Oda in large numbers at the beginning.
Army, but as the Oda Army's attack area gradually became saturated, the Red Leaf Army on the fortress was unable to withstand it.
Seeing the rows of ladders covering almost the entire wall, Shigehiro Sakagaki, the commander of Hosoragi Bei's first company, could hardly stop swearing. The Oda family mobilized more than 20,000 soldiers to besiege the building.
At the top of the city, on average, every two Red Leaf Army soldiers need to deal with the Oda Army who are constantly climbing up the city on a ladder and the Oda Army who are constantly firing iron cannons under the ladder.
, exhausted and difficult to cope with.
"Sir, someone is coming up the ladder over there again!" Before Sakagaki Shigehiro could take a breath, another shout came from the wall on the other side. Sakagaki Shigehiro looked around and saw the people behind the ladder.
Two Hosoragi soldiers had been hacked to death with random swords, and a dozen Oda Army samurai were jumping onto the battlements quickly. The Hosoragi soldiers next to them were just about to get up to fight, when they were beaten by the Oda Army iron gunners below the city.
Can't lift my head up.
"Let the iron gunners who fire the Dysprosium Bei over there do a favor and suppress that place!" Sakagaki Shigehiro waved desperately to the company of the second company of the Dysprosium Bei, Nagaga Nagaga, who was on the wall of another fort in the distance, and at the same time he was in a hurry.
He led his subordinates and rushed over there quickly. Under the pressure of the iron gunners, Sakagaki Shigehei finally killed the dozen Oda family warriors at the top of the city, preparing to resume the defense of this bastion - the other side
The fortress wall is in danger again.
"We can't continue fighting like this!"
At this time, on the command platform of the bastion, Nakahide Omaezaki found Charlie, who was firing continuously to cover. "The pressure on the main battlefield is too great, and it is impossible to send reinforcements. Sooner or later, we will not be able to hold on like this. We must do it ourselves."
Find a way to open up the situation."
When Charlie handed over the finished iron cannon to his men for filling, and took a loaded iron cannon, he glanced at the direction of the main battlefield in the southwest - the troops of Hongye Army, Sanyoshi Army, and Changzong's Army.
They were dealing with an Oda army that was five times their size, and there was a faint tendency to be outflanked.
"You're right, do you have any ideas?" Charlie raised the cannon again and took aim, while asking Omaezaki Nakahide.
"Come out of the city and counterattack!" Nakahide Omaezaki pointed to the back door that was making constant banging sounds. The soldiers of the Oda family were pushing the carts to attack. The soldiers behind the door were working hard to block the door. "They
The outside of the city is densely packed with ladders. There are so many people, and the formation behind the ladders is also messy. The people standing in front are all iron gunners. Now that we suddenly open the door to counterattack, they must be caught off guard."
"Where are the extra people who can go out of the city to counterattack?" Charlie fired a shot, hitting an Oda soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city, and took out a loaded iron cannon again, "Now the defenders have all the manpower.
not enough."
"The third company of Hosoragi Bei in the east can be moved." Nakahide Omaezaki pointed to the east of the central bastion, which is bordering Ikeda Henghe's headquarters. He was shouting loudly.
Unlike the troops under the direct control of the Oda family, the Ikeda army's fighting will was very passive. They only placed cold guns on the bastion from a distance, and no one climbed out of the bastion to attack, let alone attacked from the passage between the bastions.
.
"Naruto Bei, Hosoragi Bei, there are seven special forces companies in total. Six of them are dealing with the troops directly under the Oda family in the north. Only the third company of Hosoragi Bei is guarding the east. You have also transferred the third company, isn't it?
Are you on guard against Ikeda's army?" Charlie asked after looking at Ikeda Hengxing's flag and firing a shot.
"Brother, foreigner, you usually don't understand these things with your stupid head. Can't you see that His Highness Ikeda is the best friend with our former master? He must not want to be the enemy of the Red Leaf Army at all, so don't worry about him." Omaezaki Nakahide bet.
He whispered with red eyes like a disciple, "Anyway, if we don't do anything, we will lose. If we take a gamble, we will lose. How can it be worse?"
·
Kawajiri Hidetaka had already climbed out of the west castle bastion and came to the flat land between the central bastion and Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. He personally directed the army to attack the bastion from the ladder. Under his urging, every Oda soldier
Fengyong, faintly suppressed the city head. And the charging convoy at the city gate did not have the iron cannons fired from the city, so they could safely and boldly smash into the door. They threw away the shields used to cover them before, and everyone held their hands.
Using the battering ram, he mustered up all his energy and swung it against the door. Every impact made a loud noise, falling a lot of debris and dust, and the back door of the central bastion also showed signs of loosening.
"It won't take long to get it done." Hidetaka Kawajiri estimated in his mind while continuing to stare at the back door of the central bastion. He suddenly discovered that the effects of the recent impacts were much better than before, and the back door was loose and
The intensity of the tremors became visibly greater, and he was actually dented by the impact several times.
"It finally worked?" Kawajiri Hidetaka blinked in surprise, just in time to see the back door suddenly being knocked open. The soldiers who were swinging the battering ram forward missed the swing, and a few of them failed to hold back and fell.
A fall.
The next moment, dense fire flashed inside the door. After the roar, the Oda Army soldiers standing at the door were instantly killed. Stray bullets also knocked down many Oda Army iron gunners in the back row. In the smoke,
A loud roar of "For His Majesty Momiji" rang out from inside the door. Immediately afterwards, 400 soldiers of Hosoragi Bei were seen shouting and fighting out of the door.
The Oda army at the door was caught off guard. Most of the people standing in front were iron gunners who were shooting at the city. Except for a few people who had time to shoot, the others were chopped down by random knives. None of these long-range soldiers were killed.
Thinking that the Hongye Army suddenly came out, they immediately retreated in fright, scattering the soldiers in the back row. And the soldiers of Hosoragi Bei did not let go of the Oda Army on the ladder, and stabbed them with their spears.
The unprotected bellies of the soldiers who were climbing up the ladder were clawed at. Many officers slashed at the feet of the ladder with their swords. They watched as the ladder with a broken leg tilted over and collapsed, killing the soldiers climbing up the ladder.
Throw them all away.
Kawajiri Hidetaka's position was quite forward, and he was immediately overwhelmed by the retreating iron artillerymen. The Oda family's own position was in disarray. They only had a large army, but they were beaten by 400 men of Hosoragi Bei.
"Where did this team of soldiers escape? They actually still have the strength to fight back.
Attack?" The puzzled Hidetaka Kawajiri looked up the bastion and found that the Hosoragi soldiers who were confronting Ikeda's army in the southeast of the central bastion had disappeared, and they were probably the one who appeared in front of them.
"Then what is Ikeda Tsuneki doing?" Kawajiri Hidetaka saw the Ikeda army still passively sabotaging even in the face of an empty city. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed, "Send someone to find that grandson immediately! Ask him what he is doing.
Well?"
·
"I'm so annoyed, you ask me what I'm doing?" Ikeda Hengxing, who was pointed at his nose and questioned by the envoy sent by Hidetaka Kawajiri, didn't give the envoy a good look at all and yelled at him with the same annoyance.
Tsuneki Ikeda is the most struggling person on the entire battlefield now. He no longer knows what to do. The flags of the Mori family, Nagasogabe family, and Miyoshi family flying on the side of the Red Leaf Army make him feel ashamed.
, making him shameless to face Yu Qiuping and his friendship; but his refusal to hand over Yu Qiuguang has been informed to Oda Nobunaga, which earned him a scolding from Oda Nobunaga and threatened to detain Ikeda Ieru
The family in Azuchi Castle made him embarrassed to face his mother and family. He is the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, and the Ikeda family is also the descendant of the Oda family. It is impossible for him to fight against the Oda army, but he is facing the red leaf army in front of him.
He also couldn't take action. When he saw so many familiar faces shouting the name of his late friend and fought to the death, and saw so many soldiers of the Hongye Army throwing their lives and blood in order to avenge Yu Qiuping, he looked at the center
With the remains of more than two thousand loyal and brave soldiers beside the fortress, how could he possibly bear the heart to attack the Hongye Army - to attack Yu Qiuping's army, to attack this army that would risk everything to avenge Yu Qiuping?
.He himself has no ability or courage to avenge his close friends. He is a shameful and despicable coward. He only has envy and admiration for these red leaf soldiers in front of him. How can he prevent them from taking revenge if he does not dare to take revenge?
"Why doesn't Your Majesty Ikeda attack?" Kawajiri Hidetaka's envoy shouted reluctantly, "If Lord Ikeda doesn't attack, give the way to the people behind you! Otherwise, we will sue the lord and accuse you of Satomi."
foreign enemy!"
"Let's give in, let's go, whoever wants to go can go!" Ikeda Hengxing cursed back angrily, picked up the riding whip and whipped the messenger, driving him out directly. At the same time, he ordered Ikeda
The army gave way to the passage in the fortress and made up its mind not to attack the Red Leaf Army.
·
"You are a coward with no ambition." After hearing Ikeda Tsuneaki's reply, Kawajiri Hidetaka spat on the ground with disdain, and then said to the messenger, "Go and ask His Majesty Sawaki behind His Majesty Ikeda to attack. From there, there will be almost no
Punch in through the fortified gap!"
Not long after, Kawajiri Hidetaka's messenger came back in despair, with an even weirder expression on his face than before.
"What's wrong?" Hidetaka Kawajiri glanced at the bastion further east of the bastion where Ikeda's army was, where the troops of Sawaki's army were stationed - they were motionless, "What is Yoshiyuki Sawaki doing again?"
"His Majesty Sawaki said that his subordinates are all hungry and are eating their lunch boxes." The orderly soldier was embarrassed and reluctantly relayed Yoshiyuki Sawaki's words to Hidetaka Kawajiri who was close to the edge of the explosion. "He said that he would march after finishing his lunch box.
