Looking at the Saito Army walking among the dense forests and shrubs, Kitaki Kei family smiled confidently. At this time, he was already a platoon leader of Changbanbei - and the only platoon leader of the iron cannon.

Since the last time the iron cannon performed well on the battlefield, the voices of Yuqiu's family opposing the purchase of iron cannons have become less common. Yuqiuping spent 1,000 kilns to buy thirty-five iron cannons, and thirty were placed in the army, and the rest were left to Lan Xianghua and others to dismantle, ponder the internal structure, and then try to imitate it.

Semine Yoshinobu saw the huge amount of silver being cut out, and his heart was bleeding. Therefore, he was also the one who firmly asked Lan Xianghua to dig their blacksmith shop to imitate the iron cannons as soon as possible. The iron cannons cost too much - it takes 30 guan to buy iron cannons, and Yu Qiuping's training method that costs no matter how much: every day, the gunboat is trained until the gunboat is hot, and the gunpowder and projectiles are unlimited, so the iron cannons cost about 20 guan a year. In other words, an iron cannoner costs 50 guan a year - worth 5 Takapan infantrymen.

However, what Seine Yoshinobu has to admit is that under such cost-effective training, the accurate head of the Yuqiu family's iron gunners is indeed very impressive. According to Tsuda Kazuki, the Yuqiu family's iron gunners rely on the rapid training method, the hit rate is comparable to that of the well-trained Iron Gunners, and the speed of the ammunition change even exceeds them. Compared with Oda Nobunaga's iron gunners who are reluctant to spend money to train, they are even higher.

At this moment, they were lying on a steep slope covered with shrubs in the back mountain of Suzukura Castle, staring at the Saito family leaving the city coldly. They chose a small path and rushed towards the auxiliary soldiers who were carrying out engineering operations.

"The ambush place you chose by Your Highness is really good." The Jing family of Beizai couldn't help but exclaim. Since he started following Yu Qiu 7 years ago, His Highness Hongye always showed extraordinary talent in defense. Whether it is the choice of terrain, the construction of fortifications, the positioning and rotation of the defensive troops, they are all perfect.

The Oda family had long expected that Tajimi Xiuli would probably leave the city to counterattack, so they sent troops to surround the surroundings of Sarutoku Castle. However, Yu Qiuhei felt that Tajimi Xiuli's understanding of the surrounding mountains must be far more than that of them, and they might find some small paths to directly lead to water. Therefore, he arranged his iron cannon arrangement on a small hill near the water source to monitor the surrounding situation.

Sure enough, Tajikiji's Saito army led by Fixing Restor by about 150 people by Takigawa Ichiyi's position outside the east gate and drilled into the hills and shrubs in the south. Takigawa Ichiyi couldn't catch up and had to give up. However, no matter how they were wandering around the mountains, they would still rush towards the auxiliary soldiers who were cutting off the water source - and this was exposed to the view of the Keika Kitaki family.

"Recharge!" Bei Sheng Jingjia lowered his voice, and the iron gunners around him immediately began to load quickly. After a few dozen seconds, the fuse of the iron gun had been ignited one after another.

The Kita-Kei family looked at the Saito army moving rapidly not far away through the shrubs and woods, including about 50 armored soldiers, and about 100 remaining miscellaneous soldiers without armor and only weapons - probably the auxiliary soldiers who were temporarily mobilized. When their distance reached the closest, the Kita-Kei family immediately roared: "Scall!"

The loud roar of the Keika Kita immediately disappeared from the roar of the iron cannons. The roar of the 50 iron cannons was quite impressive, and a huge echo was produced in the mountains. The projectiles of the iron cannons passed through the branches and shrubs like a decay, and shot towards the Saito army's team. The Saito army walking among the woods and shrubs only heard a thunder sound on the flat ground, followed by a sound of the projectiles sinking into the flesh and screams in his ears. The birds living in the forest were frightened by the sound of the volley and flew out of the woods with their wings.

When the person who was not hit came back to his senses, the ground was already covered with blood. More than a dozen feet were hit by iron cannons and fell to the ground in pain. Several people even swallowed directly. A large number of shrubs and branches were also concentrated by flying iron cannons, causing large areas of dust to rise up, and branches and leaves to fly.

"It's actually an iron cannon!" Tatsuji, who was walking directly in front of the team, was shocked by the repair! He just now didn't find someone on the hill, but he was confident that he was familiar with geography. Even if the small groups of ambush soldiers were killed, he could escape calmly. If it were a bow and arrow, the power of the woods would be greatly reduced and there would be no big losses.

Unexpectedly it was an iron cannon!

He looked up at the Oda Army on the hill - each iron gunner was wearing a uniform sleeveless body, with a high red leaf inserted in his helmet, and was changing bullets quickly at this moment.

Seeing the repair, Taori immediately understood that this matter was absolutely fine. A volley shot reduced his attack troops by 10%. In desperation, he immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat and flee back to the city - but was beaten by the iron artillery team that quickly replaced the bullets and left several bodies.

"Hongye! Your iron artillery team is really powerful!" After hearing that Tatsuji Jingji went out of the city to counterattack, He immediately brought his troops to reinforce, but only saw Tatsuji Jingji's back fleeing in a panic and the twenty or so flesh-filled corpses on the ground. "The iron artillery team shot two rounds and killed so many people!"

"What, this cost me a lot of money!" Yu Qiuhei patted Ikeda Hengxing's shoulder, "A iron cannon is dozens of stagnant! The gunpowder and projectiles used for training also cost money! As long as you are willing to spend money, you can have such a strong iron cannon team as much as me!"

"Well, why are you showing off?" Ikeda Hengxing snorted disdainfully, and gave Yu Qiupi a blank look: "I know you have money! OK! I'm a poor guy!"

After Tajima retreated in a panic, no one could interfere with the work of the Oda family's auxiliary troops. They took three days to completely cut off the water source in Sarutoku Castle on the afternoon of June 9. It was midsummer and the weather was too hot, and the only drinking water left in Sarutoku Castle was quickly consumed. As residents in the castle town had fled into the city, the water use situation in the city became even more difficult.

Now, residents and the footmen in the city basically no longer use water for any other purpose than drinking. Only Duozhijian repairs one person has the right to wash his face. Everyone digs three feet of the ground just to find a new source of water, but it is futile. The leaves of a few trees in the city were plundered by the thirsty people, just because they contain a small amount of water. The residents and footmen are looking forward to the moon and hope that a heavy rain can solve the urgent problem, but the weather has never been good.

The power of water cuts is often stronger than food cuts, because people always have much more opportunities to find food to eat than to find water. If it really doesn't work, there is still a dead end for people to eat people. Moreover, humans' ability to endure hunger is far stronger than to endure thirst.

In such a difficult environment, Duozhijianjian was helpless. He could only do his best to collect fresh water to ensure that his subordinates could drink water easily. He had almost no chance of breaking out of the city, and the Oda family seemed to have no intention of siege, trying to recover from the city and died of thirst.

Tajimi Fuji now put all his hopes on the reinforcements of the Saito family, hoping that they could send people to rescue the siege as soon as possible. However, things went against their wishes. Nagai Dori and Tomyono's reinforcements stayed in Kan Castle and did not make plans to help Saito Castle. Since Saito Ryuki believed that this Oda family's partial division would not become a climate and would not threaten the Saito family's territory in the central Mino area, he did not urge the reinforcements to rescue the siege, but wanted to wait until the Oda family retreated on its own to follow and recover the lost territories. As for Tajimi Fujimi Fujimi's life and death, Saito Ryuki naturally would not take it seriously. The Simino's wealthy families made him heartbroken, and he did not have any good feelings for these little wealthy families.

During the siege of Tajimi Mian repair, Jiro Ozawa of Uma Castle tried to rescue him, but he had no choice but to face the army of the Oda family. Jiro Ozawa once sent an envoy to ask Dori Nagai and the army of the Saito family to go south and join many small families to rescue the siege of Azuko Castle, but was also rejected. In a disheartened state, he had to lead his army back home.

The cruel water-breaking siege lasted for six days. On June 15, Tajimi Xiuji finally couldn't hold on. He surrendered on the condition that he and his subordinates had left safely. He felt that Tajimi Xiujimi had no way out, and it would be a bit too much to ask for the conditions. However, Ninoha Nagahide considered the people's hearts and did not want to force the Mino people too tightly, so he agreed to his request. On the afternoon of June 15, Tajimi Xiuji led his army to flee north, and Sarutoku Castle was also occupied by the Oda army. After the Oda army entered the city, everyone was busy celebrating the achievements. Only Yu Qiuhei was a little reluctant to hurt the people because of his own water cut, so he immediately organized his clubs to clear the original groundwater passage and transported water into the city to alleviate the water difficulties of the residents in the city. This added a lot to his image as a "good person".

After taking down Sarutoku Castle, the high point of the entire Kisogawa North Shore was controlled by the Oda family. On the one hand, Ninoha Nagahide sent an envoy to Oda Nobunaga and requested reinforcements. On the other hand, he tried to further attack Uma Castle, an important city upstream of Sarutoku Castle.

However, just as Ninoha Nagahide organized the auxiliary troops to prepare for large-scale siege equipment, Kinishi Hideyoshi once again volunteered to persuade Jiro Osawa of Umuma Castle! This surprised Yuqiuhei and others. He was addicted to persuade him to surrender?

"Fujiro, are you afraid you are not trying to make a contribution? "Yuqiehei advised, "This time you have made great contributions, you have made great contributions! There is no need to fight hard again! Osawa Jiro is not a neighbor who is like Tomomoto Nakajima who was like the one who had been with us, but an enemy! What if he kills you!"

"The two armies are fighting, but if you don't kill me," Kinishun Hideyoshi responded while rubbing his hands to cheer himself up, "Besides, it's just a matter of seeking wealth in danger! If you don't fight hard, you can make contributions and make achievements!"

"But this is always too dangerous!" Yu Qiuping still shook his head.

"Well, Hongye," Kinish Hideyoshita looked at Yu Qiuhei's worried expression, and suddenly felt a little moved: "If you treat me sincerely, I will just say something to you with your heart."

"I am not as good as you, I am not from a Ming country, nor the handsome and elegant son-in-law of the Imakawa Master." Kinisha Hideyoshi smiled bitterly, "I am the son of a pariah, a poor man, and an ugly person who carries his shoes."
