Chapter 34 Hit the Door
"What? Want you guys to take a break?" Yu Qiuping heard the question of the messenger in surprise, "How can you rest when the enemy is facing each other?
"Sir," said the messenger. "No one from the Oda family has brought siege equipment and cannot climb up the city tower at all. They are now staying in the city town and doing nothing. Master Fukushima said that the young men worked hard for a long time yesterday and did not sleep well at night. A good rest will help to restore their strength."
"It's not right." Yu Qiuping was a little moved, but his cautious and conservative personality still did not make him agree immediately. "After all, there are more than 200 people, and there are only more than 40 people in the North City. Will it be too exaggerated to rest?"
"Forget it, I'll go and see it myself." Yu Qiuping sighed, still feeling that he had gone there. It was less than fifty meters away from Tianshou Pavilion to the North City, and riding a horse was just a few breaths.
At the same time, the Takigawa family struggled to move the beam out. In order to avoid too much noise and disturbing the Imakawa army on the city wall, the rest of the Takigawa family had to scatter and slid around the ruins, creating a chaotic look.
"The people in the city are really capable," Takigawa Ichii sighed secretly, "If you break it, you break it. The castle town itself burns beautifully. If it doesn't burn, any action here will not be visible on the city wall."
After Yu Qiuping arrived at the city, he saw the young men leaning against each other in groups of three or three to rest. Some leaned against the walls, and some even lay directly on the city walls, without even caring about the two hot oil pans.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing?" Yu Qiuping clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "The enemy is right in front of you! Do you still have the time to sleep and take a nap?"
"Sir!" "It's a sir!" After Yu Qiuping came, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"It's so troublesome. In the future, let me change my etiquette on the battlefield. "Yu Qiuping looked at each of his feet and had to stand up and bow, feeling the need to introduce the military salutes of modern troops, of course not now.
"How can you relax? More than 200 enemies are right in front of you!" Yu Qiuping said, pointing to the city.
"Sir, you have seen it yourself." A foot pointed at Takigawa Jun in the castle town and said, "Those guys at the bottom of the castle have no intention of siege at all, so they are picking up rags in the castle town and!"
The light words caused people around to burst into laughter. Yu Qiuping then supported the battlements and looked north, but Takigawa Jun didn't know what he was looking for in the gray and black ruins of the castle town.
"An Cheng, what do you think they are looking for?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Report to you, sir," Fukushima said respectfully, "I guess I am looking for a complete house as a place to stay. Without a ladder, they will not be able to climb the city wall for a while, so they can really give everyone a rest."
Yu Qiuping looked down at the city wall that was as high as five meters, and then looked at the Takigawa army who did not carry any siege equipment in the distance, and his heart was a little calmer.
"Okay, let you rest for a while." Yu Qiuping's words aroused everyone's cheers, "I'll call Charlie and the archer to help you watch. They didn't do much work yesterday and were still energetic."
When Yu Qiuping sent a messenger to ask Charlie to come, another messenger suddenly rode a horse from the south of the city, passing by the messenger sent by Yu Qiuping and almost hitting it. The messenger galloped and shouted, "Sir! Sir! There is military intelligence in the south city!" This messenger is called Aishan Xinshi, because it is best to be selected as a messenger by Yu Qiuping.
Xueshan's faithful anxiety suddenly made Yu Qiuping a little confused. Standing on the city wall, he shouted at him: "What's going on!" This shout attracted the attention of everyone around him, and they looked at the messenger.
"Nancheng! Outside Nancheng!" Suiyama Shin-shi gasped, his speech was a little discontinuous. "The Ma Zhu from the Oda family is constantly wandering around, as if he is about to attack!"
"Ma Zhu? How can the cavalry come up without siege weapons?" Yu Qiuping asked back in surprise.
"I don't know this... I don't know!" Suishan Shishi was a little at a loss when asked.
"Forget it, I'll go over and see it again." Yu Qiuping said as he walked down the wall along the inner stairs of the North City, rode his horse and ran towards the South City. On the other hand, Charlie and his archers were ordered to come. The foot soldiers at the gate of the North City also turned around and looked towards the direction of the South City. The movements on the Imakawa family tree were all seen by Takigawa Ichiyi. He immediately ordered his subordinates to carry the beam onto the official road. Ten foot soldiers, five left and five friends, carried the beam and started sprinting. Two warriors followed them closely, followed by Takigawa's army with more than one hundred people.
At this time, Yu Qiuping also rushed to the south city. After climbing the city wall, he found that the messenger was asking the soldiers to make a fuss about the so-called enemy situation. It was just a few more than 30 horses and cavalry wandering in front of the city gates, demonstrating from time to time. Just this level alone made the young men who had killed the bandits at most were so nervous, fearing that the war had already begun from them.
"What a fuss, they don't have any equipment and can't do anything." Yu Qiuping snorted, "I don't know why they suddenly came out and wandered around."
Suddenly, an ominous premonition surged into my heart.
The moment Yu Qiuping turned around, a violent shout of killing suddenly broke out on the gate of Beicheng.
"What's the situation!" Fukushima Ansei looked at the Takigawa army in front of him in a daze, taking out a huge city-storm hammer like a magic trick. Ten people carried the city-storm hammer and rushed towards the city gate.
"Oh no!" He suddenly remembered that the way to enter the city was not only to climb over the city wall, but also to break through the city gate. It was known that the city gate of the north city of the city had long been disrepaired.
"Sir, what is that!" Charlie, who arrived hurriedly, stepped onto the city wall with the bow and arrow team, and immediately saw a giant log being carried and hit. He saw that there was only a hundred meters away from the city gate.
"That's the city hammer! Please stop him quickly, sir." Fukushima Ansei said hurriedly.
Charlie didn't say much, untied his longbow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, bent his bow and hit the arrow quickly, aiming at the first person carrying the log on the left, which was a arrow. The feather arrow broke through the air and hit the light belly. After the first person fell to the ground in pain, the entire team swayed violently and almost fell to the ground.
The warrior who was supervising the battle hurriedly inserted his knife back into the scabbard, rushed to the first position on the left, raised the beam of the room, and continued to shout and charge forward. Charlie didn't say much, and shot another arrow at the first person on the left. However, the warrior's armor seemed to be good, and the arrow penetrated deeply into the armor, but failed to make the warrior fall down.
"Is the quality of this feather arrow so bad?" Charlie muttered, bent his bow and arrow again. This time, the arrow hit the warrior's face. The warrior groaned and fell to the ground with blood. Charlie quickly pulled the bow and another arrow, and the second person on the left fell to the ground. The entire city hammer fell to the ground crookedly due to the imbalance of the left and right forces. At this time, the archers beside Charlie also bent their bows and arrows, completed a round of shooting, and shot an unfortunate unlucky guy to the ground.
"There is a very powerful archer!" Takigawa Ichii secretly complained, "The archer team is out! Shoot the feather arrows and suppress the archers at the Imakawa family castle!"
"Come on! Follow! Everyone charges together!" Takigawa Ichiyi jumped onto a wall, waved his hands, and urged the entire team to rush forward. Two more people ran to the edge of the beam, and ten people raised the beam and continued to rush forward.
Takigawa Ichiyi's activity attracted Charlie's attention. He squinted his eyes and estimated the distance, bent his bow and arrow again.
"4oo steps, within my range." Charlie twisted his waist suddenly and pulled the bowstring. The bowstring was stretched to an exaggerated arc. After aiming, he loosened the string with his right hand. The sharp arrow struck the sky and headed straight for the face of Takigawa Ichii.
"Sir! Be careful!" A samurai warrior was paying attention to the very powerful archer just now. When he saw him aiming behind, he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly ran towards Takigawa Ichiyi, jumped suddenly to block the arrow. However, the saberai warrior directly penetrated the neck of the samurai. He couldn't even shout, and he fell to the ground after shaking. The samurai's blood splattered Takigawa Ichiyi's face.
However, Charlie had no chance to shoot the next arrow. He quickly reached the effective shooting distance - forty archers from Takikawa's family, 10 meters away from the city wall, immediately pulled their bows and shot at the head of the city. Charlie hurriedly squatted down and hid behind the wall. Three feather arrows flew over at the position of his head. Around him was also unable to avoid the archer, who was shot in the abdomen, fell down in pain, and was dragged to the back by his companions. At this moment, the teenagers at the city also squatted down with their heads in their arms, trying to avoid the bows and arrows.
"Resist the opponent's archers!" Charlie shouted the order in stiff Japanese. However, the untrained archers did not shoot neatly, but stood up to shoot arrows in groups of three or three. Except for Charlie's hit one, the other thirty people only shot one enemy army, but they were shot and injured one person on the spot.
"We are at the top of the city! The archers at the top of the city were suppressed by the archers under the city, which is a shame!" Charlie roared angrily, and soon got up and another arrow was shot. Then he twisted his body and lay down, avoiding the five feather arrows shot. However, other inexperienced archers on the top of the city did not even have the chance to get up and aim. Once he got up, feather arrows shot immediately, forcing them to bend down and avoid.
"This won't work. You should try to get a volley." Charlie thought, but there was no good chance.
Just as the Imakawa family archers at the top of the city were suppressed, the city hammer had already rushed to the bottom of the city. Ten people tried their best, and with one-two-one shouts, they suddenly smashed the city hammer into the gate. "Boom!" A loud bang came from under the city wall. Then there were continuous sounds of hitting the door, mixed with the excitement of the soldiers of the Takigawa family and shouting to kill.
"Don't be afraid of feather arrows!" Fukushima Ann saw that the situation was not good, so he raised his arms and shouted, personally carrying a stone brick. Regardless of the threat of feather arrows, he poked out of the city wall and smashed the stone hard down the city. A scream came from the city, and the sound of hitting the door stopped slightly. When the other Foots saw Foots leading the way, they also followed suit, screaming one by one, rushed forward and smashed the stone bricks or squats to the gate below the city. However, the Takigawa family's archery team soon showed the counterattack method of the defenders on the city, and concentrated their firepower to shoot directly above the city gate. Two Foots were shot in the arm and had to temporarily withdraw from the battle. But this also gave Charlie the opportunity to organize a volley.
"Flat shot! Flat shot! Don't shoot!" Charlie emphasized loudly, "Three, Two, One! Start!" With Charlie's roar, the archers stood up at both ends of the city wall, and a volley shot towards the Takigawa archers. The Takigawa archers were caught off guard and were shot at five people at once. They were forced to re-adjust the shooting direction and concentrate their firepower to attack the Imakawa archers. At this time, the subsequent foot light troops of the Takigawa family also rushed to the city, and they picked up all kinds of door panels and table boards from the ruins, without burnt defensive equipment to protect the siege hammer operators. Once someone fell, someone would immediately take over the position. This kind of heroic performance would be observed by Jun Mufu, and there would be rewards and improvements after the war, so the Football Lights would be enjoyed.
