After a fierce battle, Yu Qiuping began to organize people to clean the battlefield. The corpses of the enemy and our army were everywhere on the walls of Xicheng and the stairs of Xicheng Lower City. The work of treating the wounded was carried out under the supervision of the personal guards. In the previous battle, the personal guards had been commanding the messengers who were not available for use. Before everyone evacuated from Xicheng, they helped to withdraw the wounded back to the safe area and saved many lives.

"Be sure to do your best to rescue the wounded. Tell me if you have any needs and I will find a way to do it." Yu Qiuping ordered.

"As for your order, sir!" said the personal guard.

This siege caused considerable casualties to Omaezaki Nakahide's squad. 11 people died, 14 were seriously injured, and almost all the participants suffered minor injuries. The team lost 25 people, which was a heavy casualty. Among them, nearly half of the deaths and serious injuries were caused by Sasa Masaji's last desperate attack. At that time, Omaezaki Nakahide's squad had collapsed, so he simply stabilized his position in time, otherwise everything would be out of control. More than a dozen seriously injured people in the two battles were sent to the Tensou Pavilion for treatment. Fukushima Ansei and Omaezaki Nakahide exchanged positions to monitor Nishi Castle on his behalf. The casualties of Yoshika Katsumasa and Ogawa Yudong's troops were not particularly serious, with only 4 deaths and 6 seriously injured. The young men who died were put into the newly built coffin by the personal army of the army.

In this defensive battle, the Imakawa army made a great exchange. In the city alone, 29 bodies of the Sasa Army were found, and 12 seriously injured and unable to move. Yu Qiuping did not kill them in cold blood, but sent them to Tianshou first to be placed in Tianshou. In addition, more than 30 sets of bamboo armor, eleven samurai swords and more than 40 bamboo guns were seized, which were all great additions to the Imakawa army. After the war, when the slightest people were holding the tips of the guns and cutting off the heads of the Oda family's corpses one by one, Yu Qiuping suddenly felt very unbearable. The Oda army's bodies were sent to the uninhabited area of ​​the North City to burn, and the heads were piled in Tianshou Pavilion.

"Many of the squads have never seen blood and killed people." Amano Keidu saw that Yu Qiuhei was a little reluctant and persuaded him, "If they let them experience these cruel things, they will no longer be afraid when they arrive on the battlefield."

"That's it." Yu Qiuhei sighed. As the head of the Sasa family, Sasa Masaji escaped the fate of being cut off. The personal guards also put him in the coffin.

Outside the city, the Oda family was dragging their companions' bodies back to the camp at the city. The Archery Team fought fiercely for an afternoon and was collecting feather arrows that could still be used. They wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Oda army outside the city, but were stopped by Yu Qiuping.

"They are kind-hearted people who want to bring their companions' bodies back to their hometown," Yu Qiuping said to Charlie. "This kind of behavior is worthy of respect, so we should not attack them. Find an opportunity to return Sasa Masaji's body to them."

At the fourth moment of Shin-shi, the Oda family completed the battlefield cleaning and retreated from the city to the camp. A total of fourteen ladders were brought, and a total of ten were damaged during the siege and retreat. One of the watchtowers was also damaged due to improper use. The Oda family's strength is probably unable to continue the attack.

After witnessing the collapse of his own troops, Sasa Naruta was in a very unstable mood. After returning to the camp just now, he drew his sword and killed two auxiliary soldiers for some reason. After being stopped by Mori Kecheng, he asked him to stay in the camp and calm down.

"You can't blame Lord Sasa." Lai Long, who was both a black-clad man and a man in the black-clad family, sighed, "The Sasa family is so miserable this time."

"The family governor himself died on the battlefield." Hidetaka Kawajiri sighed, "There are only three of the dozen warriors I brought with me, and two of them were injured. One hundred people, only 45 people who came back alive, and a dozen people were injured. Nearly ten people died of death in the city, Mian Guang."

"The two hundred auxiliary soldiers conquered from the Sasa family territory also died when they attacked the city." Lailong sighed again, "The Sasa family has been unable to recover for several years. Lord Sasa's brothers have all died in battle in the past few years, and he will be the next governor."

"Help him to plead with his lord," Hidetaka Kawajiri looked at him from a distance, sitting in the tent with a dull look, "Let's reduce the military service of the Sasa family for several years."

At the sixth hour of Shin Shin, after realizing that the Oda family had no intention of attacking, Yu Qiuping summoned everyone except the post to the Tianshou Pavilion Living Room.

"This afternoon battle was very dangerous and exposed a lot of problems." Yu Qiuping began to summarize, "The most important thing is that our archers are really not good."

"This is my shame. I am willing to accept the punishment from the Lord." Charlie lowered his head in shame.

"No, I don't blame you." Yu Qiuping waved his hand in a hurry, "The quality of our bows and arrows is not good at all, and we haven't practiced archery much. I asked just now, they basically learned what they learned during hunting."

"It seems that our archery team cannot shoot against the Oda family. Since that's the case, I think it seems that we are at a disadvantage when defending on the city wall." Yu Qiuping said.

"What do you mean by sir?" Fukushima Ansei asked hurriedly after hearing Yu Qiuping's words, "Do you want to give up the city wall?"

"I'm not wrong with that." Yu Qiuping said.

"Yes! Just like before!" Mimaezaki Nakahide shouted excitedly, "Block them on the wall and shoot!"

"It's not that easy." Amano Keidu interrupted him coldly, "After the reinforcements of the Oda family arrived, it is impossible for only 2OO people to attack the city. They will not attack on one side. They are likely to attack from multiple aspects."

"We have more than thirty archers, and it is impossible for us to take care of so many aspects. Besides, our troops are not enough to block the eight stairs of all the city walls." Fukushima Yasunaga added.

"So I plan to lure the Oda army into the city from one side." Yu Qiuping said hesitantly. "I still plan to set fire."

"You're still setting fire! Sir! You're addicted!" Mimaezaki Nakahide exaggeratedly.

"Shut up!" Yu Qiuping glared at him, "I plan to cover wooden boards, straws and other flammable materials in Nancheng, Dongcheng and Beicheng, and pour oil on them. When the Oda family quickly attacked, they would ignite them all, so the Oda family could not attack the city here."

"The city wall is made of stone and cannot be burned." Amano Keidu pointed out the inappropriateness in Yuqiuhei's plan. "As long as the Oda family clears out all the burning objects on the city wall, the fire will naturally be extinguished."

"Yes." Yu Qiuping frowned, "But I plan not to ignite the Xicheng City Wall. The Oda army on the Xicheng City Wall will come to the city first. We will concentrate our firepower to repel the road, and then deal with other city walls."

"If the adults only plan to use the city wall to block the enemy," the personal guard suddenly spoke, "then we can make the surface of the city wall bumpy and put a lot of roadblocks and other things up."

"Good idea." Yu Qiuhei smiled. "By the way, we have to block the city gate and block it all with stones. In this way, even if the Oda family controls the city gate, they cannot open the city gate immediately. The Oda family's reinforcements still have to climb in the city."

"Clog the city gate? This is a taboo for military strategists." Amano Jingde advised again, "The city gate is for defenders to fight back from the city. Because the defense has the advantage of inside combat, it is easy to mobilize the gathering of troops to go out of the city to attack weak parts of the enemy. The defense has the advantage of commanding heights, and can easily see the enemy's movements and command the counterattack troops. In order to prevent counterattacks in the city, the troops outside the city will be subject to many restrictions. The city gate is a huge advantage of the defenders."

"But we can't fight back at all, right?" Yu Qiu spread his hands, "I'm just a rookie and have never commanded a war. In such a small town, defense is still similar to a fight, and I can still make do with command. If I go to the open land and list the formation and attack with dignified height, I won't be able to do anything! I will definitely be pressed to the ground by the Oda army." Yu Qiuping looked around, "Who has anyone commanded the troops alone in the field fighting?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"So, since you can't use it anyway, it's better to block it." Yu Qiuping said, "It can avoid hidden dangers. Besides, as long as we don't let the Oda family outside the city know that we have blocked the city gate, don't they still have to be honest and cautious?"

In the end, even Amano Keido was convinced by Yu Qiuping. The plan to block the city gate was decided.

"Clogging the city gate means that there is no way to retreat. Do you all agree?" Yu Qiuping looked around for a week.

"Lord Yuqiu came to live and die together with us. How could he not bear to live and die together?" Jigang Katsumasa patted his chest and shouted loudly. "The words are rough but not rough." Yudong Ogawa took a sip of wine, "We all live and die together with Lord Yuqiu."

"Also, we have to build some fortifications in the city." Yu Qiuping frowned, "If there is still a battle, we will definitely have street fighting in the city. But now many houses in the Nancheng area have been demolished, and we must rebuild the fortifications."

"I'll draw a picture to design this later. Let everyone take a break and then take turns to collect stones and wood." Just as Yu Qiuping was hesitating about how to design fortifications, a lookout on the city wall rushed over.

"Sir! It's not good!" As soon as Zun rushed into Tianshou Pavilion, he shouted breathlessly, holding the door with one hand and pointing in the northwest with the other hand tremblingly, "Ma Seal! Oda Nobunaga's horse seal is here!"

When Yu Qiuping and his group rushed to the northwest corner of the city wall, the tall horse mark was about to move into the camp of the Oda family. The horse marks were surrounded by nearly a thousand gazebos with papaya patterns on their backs. After these gazebos, dozens of ladders and more than a dozen watchtowers were slowly transported on the official road, carrying a large amount of armor and a trolley full of grain.

"Is Oda Nobunaga's direct troops?" Yu Qiuhei looked at the ocean of red papaya flags and couldn't help but take a deep breath, "It's really coming."

At the eighth hour of Shin-shi, the vast Oda family was still slowly entering the camp that had been repaired before. Yu Qiuping looked at it more and more astonishing. The number of reinforcements in this wave may have exceeded 3 ooo. Compared with the reinforcements, the thousand people who were staying under the city seemed so small.

At this time, in the Oda family camp, although the army had not yet fully entered the tent, Oda Nobunaga himself had already taken the lead in riding a horse. Generally, horse racing is not allowed in the military camp. Of course, Oda Nobunaga never followed such rules since running around naked. At this moment, he was riding a black horse, speeding around in the tent, heading straight to the main tent. The soldiers around him were panicked and avoiding his cycling route. The retainers behind him could only dismount and run quickly, trying to keep up with his pace. The older ones were really unbearable.

When Oda Nobunaga rushed into the main account, the messenger who reported to the main account that Oda Nobunaga had just arrived. As soon as the eldest generals of the Oda family were out of the door to greet him, they saw their lords bridles in front of the main account, the horseman stood up, and then slapped the front hooves heavily on the ground. Everyone quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Bang!" Oda Nobunaga looked bad and didn't even look at everyone. He threw the folding fan in his hand to the ground.

"66 More than a thousand people came, and even a small Chili with only more than two hundred slaves could not be defeated? He even suffered a defeat!" Oda Nobunaga cursed, "What are your faces? Before the war, he was yelling to defeat Okazaki!"

"Don't be angry! I deserve to die if I am apologizing!" The generals of the Oda family did not dare to get up, and they all lie down to the ground to apologize and kowtow to the ground. However, Oda Nobunaga was still unwilling to finish his wish and continued to curse: "You guys! I defeated the 15oo people of the Matsue family, and I died or injured less than 1oo people. You guys! You guys!" Oda Nobunaga laughed furiously, picked up the scabbard with his back, and slapped hard on Takigawa Ichii's back, kicked Kawajiri Hidetaka and Naomasa Kawajiri, and kicked Naomasa Kawajiri, "First, the intelligence error! They had clearly repaired the city wall, and insisted that they didn't need to bring siege equipment! Then they forced the siege equipment to attack the city! Then they brought the siege equipment and were killed by others!"

"Ah! You are very capable!" Oda Nobunaga laughed, "After a long time of fighting, there were almost two hundred people killed and injured, but still didn't capture Chili! You might as well stand under the city and watch. Anyway, the result is the same, and there is no need to die!"

Everyone was scolded by Oda Nobunaga so much that they couldn't raise their heads, but just kowtowed like pounding garlic. Oda Nobunaga took a few deep breaths and calmed down, "Forget it! Get up!"

Oda Nobunaga finally calmed down and everyone stood up with relief.

"Hide the help?" Oda Nobunaga looked around and saw no sign of Sasa Naimasa.

"Sir Sasa seems to be very unstable..." Hidetaka Kawajiri hesitated how to speak, "I'm resting in the back. Do you want to call him over?"

"Forget it," Oda Nobunaga shook his head, "I'll tell him later that the next head of the Sasa family will be him, so let him cheer up quickly."

"Where is Masaji's body? Where is it?" Oda Nobunaga asked again.

"It's lost in the city." Sen Kecheng said with a gloomy face, "The subordinates are incompetent."

"Is that true?" Oda Nobunaga glanced at the Castle of Shinori, and the red leaves on the wall were particularly eye-catching. "What happened to those Imakawa troops? Why didn't they put the flag on their backs, and they all carried the red leaves."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could answer Oda Nobunaga's questions.

"I guess they saw Yu's army too." Oda Nobunaga snorted disdainfully, "Send someone to persuade him to surrender. Those who know the current affairs should surrender."

"Lord, they have killed so many of our brothers and Lord Sasa. Now they can go down in one go, how can they let them go!" Lai Long, the Beehouse, said excitedly.

"There is not enough time." Takigawa Ichii dissuaded, "The soldiers rushed on their way and needed to rest. It was too late now, so I guess they couldn't get it before nightfall. They would have to return it and they wouldn't be able to land in the city tomorrow."

"If we persuade the surrender, we can continue to move forward tomorrow morning. We have less time left, and the reinforcements from the Imakawa family are probably coming soon." Takigawa Ichii continued to explain.

"And that person is indeed a talented person who can guard the city for two days in your hands." Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly.

"Master, I can stay and monitor Zhilicheng and protect the back road." Sen Kecheng suddenly said, "Master, don't waste time in the small city, attack Anxiang City quickly."

"Mr. Mori, this is too dangerous." Naomasa Konoha interrupted, "Minami and Dagua still have many Imakawa troops. Lord Shibata and Lord Sakuma who stayed in Tuosama would not have the advantage in their military strength. If hidden dangers are laid here, there will be endless troubles."

Sen Kecheng did not continue to talk, but began to think.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to persuade the surrender first." Oda Nobunaga picked up the folding fan on the ground and pointed the Maeda Taki family among the Matans. "Inuchiyo, go there. When you get there, see clearly. If it is Toshi Semei, there is no need to persuade the surrender. If it is someone else, first ask about his official position, and then say that the Oda family is willing to let him command the old subordinates and give him a fief of 1ooo stone, and the official position remains unchanged."

"If he doesn't surrender," Oda Nobunaga's eyes flashed with a sinister flash, "Just find a way to directly hold him hostage and force him to open the door. If it doesn't work, lead him to the city wall and we snipe him with the iron cannon team. After completion, you escape immediately and our army will attack the city."
