On July 16, Yuqiu's army began to gather at the border of Izumi. One of the marigold and the other were in Takaya Castle and the other in Sakaicho. Only Takaba and the cavalry company were going to leave Maple Leaf Mountain City. And Takaba's military subordinates and many residents inside and outside Maple Leaf Mountain City also rushed to see off the troops.

Yu Qiushang was in the team, looking into the crowded crowd of people seeing him off. He looked for a long time and finally found the little girl who didn't know what to step on and showed her head in the crowd. He suddenly felt a thrill in his heart - he didn't know why, he firmly believed that Cha Cha would come to see him off; he didn't know why, he firmly believed that he would find her among so many people.

He lowered his head and calmed down the smile that was inadvertently revealed on the corner of his mouth. Then he raised his head and waved his hand in the direction of Chacha. The girl in the distance also waved at him excitedly.

Perhaps the distance can relieve the embarrassment between the two.

"Chat, what are you looking at?" Yu Qiuyu didn't find Chacha Asai early in the morning, so she guessed that she might be here to see her off. After searching for a long time, she finally found Chacha.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Ah!" Cha Cha was originally waving his hand, but the sound of Yu Qiuyou in his back scared him and hurriedly took his hand back.

"Let's go and have something delicious! A new candy shop is opened later!" Yu Qiuyou asked with a smile, trying to prevent himself from thinking about who Chacha is coming to give away.

On July 25, Waizumi Kyotoki Castle.

Miho Changyi stood on the top floor of Kishiwada Castle Tenshou Pavilion, looking at the red leaf forest swaying in the wind outside the city, and suddenly felt a burst of sadness. Who would have thought that the person who brought more than a thousand people into the orphan city six years ago would gradually erode the territory of the Miho family in the past few years, and now he would completely drive out the former Kinki overlord.

Underestimating the enemy... I have always underestimated the enemy.

This is a summary of Sanhao Changyi’s past few years for Sanhao’s family.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

From the joint battle between Kyoto and the contempt of Nanchan Temple where Takabata was stationed, tens of thousands of Oda's army were able to escape from the sky; after Yu Qiupi stood in Iimoyama Castle, he despised his combat effectiveness, and he lost the battle in Shiki. Miyo Yoshi himself was captured and missed the best opportunity to eliminate Yu Qiupi, who had not yet established a foothold. There were also several tug-of-wars in Hanoi, and every time they thought they were sure to win, they would end up in shame.

Even Takeda Shingen was unable to gain an advantage in Yuqiu Hongye. How could they be so good about underestimating him? The price of underestimating the enemy was that they threw Hanoi and Izumi to Yuqiuping in a few years, leaving only the castle of Kishiwata Castle and several southern counties. And the three people who were powerful in the past were now only Sanhao Changyi.

Nowadays, Mihao's family can't even protect Kishi Wata Castle.

The Oda family's attack this time was very vicious, and they specifically carried out the attack during the autumn harvest. The Miyo family's grain stock had been almost consumed in the southern expedition to Tosari. This autumn harvest was not delayed, and there was no way for the entire army to mobilize the entire army to fight the Oda family. However, the Oda family directly pulled out an army with a total force of nearly 7 ooooo people, making all the hopes of victory for the Miyo family shattered. Yu Qiuhei led the 15 ooo people and the 3 ooo people of Ikeda Hokkaido to fight and attack Izumi Kingdom. The main force of the Oda family directly pointed to Arioka Castle in the country of Tsugi.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The Miyo family almost gritted their teeth and transported the last grain of food over, and could only ensure that there were 3oooo Sanyo troops in the territory of the Sezu country - this was only under the premise that the Honyanji family provided a lot of food and grass support. As for the Izumi country, they probably had to give up. Miyokao Changqing symbolically sent 3oo reinforcements to Miyokao Changyi, but they had only 6oo and had no ability to fight against the Red Leaf Army at all. Miyokao Changqing instructed in the letter that Miyokao Changyi would give up Kishiwada Castle when things were not done, and retreated to the Shiguo. Awaji Navy would come to support him. However, Miyokao Changyi made up his mind and did not plan to go back alive. Not only his own life, but also the lives of the 6oo people under his command.

He knew that if these 6ooo people withdrew from the Four Kingdoms, it would only further increase the food pressure of the Sanhao family. Instead of doing this, it would be better to fight with the Oda army, bring them heavy losses and win respite for the main family. He is already in his sixties this year and has not had many years to live. This is also one of the things that he, an old guy, can do for the Sanhao family.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Zensuke, what do you think the Red Leaf Army is doing?" Miyoshi Nagayi walked down the Tianshou Pavilion and came to the city wall of Minomaru Kishiwata Castle, and found Ogasawara Naisuke who was supervising the battle at the top of the city. He is also an old guy, and he will be 50 in a few years. He is also a person who has fought for the Miyoshi family for most of his life. This time, he is the commander of the 3ooo reinforcements.

"I don't know, Yuqiuji's army can always be unexpected." Ogasawara Naisuke looked at the Red Leaf Army's troops lined up more than 100 meters away, and then didn't know what they were preparing. "At such a long distance, even crossbow arrows can't be shot at the top of the city. And isn't the Red Leaf Army equipped with iron cannons? Where can they hit so far?"

"No matter what, you must not underestimate the enemy." Sanhao Changyi shook his head and ordered the stingers to climb to the top of the city to be on guard. "We have suffered countless hardships because of underestimating the enemy, and we can't do it again."

However, as soon as the Miyoshi family's footsteps reached the top of the city, a burst of smoke and fire rose from the Red Leaf Army's position. Then, the roar of artillery sounded. Miyoshi Changyi was shocked and hurriedly pressed Ogasawara Nasuke and squatted down together, squatting behind the battlements. The next moment, several heavy and dark iron balls hit the city wall heavily, making a loud noise that shook the majestic city wall. For a moment, gravel splashed, and the screams of the Foots were then heard.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Everyone lay down!" Sanhao Changyi lay on the wall behind and immediately issued an order to the chess player under the city.

"Hehe..." Ogasawara Narusuke glanced at the top of the city with lingering fear and sighed in a low voice.

"Damn it." Sanhao Changyi nodded and recognized his judgment.

What they lamented was not artillery, but accuracy.

Sanhao Changyi was also a person who had seen the world. Unlike the people from the Takeda family of Kafari, he knew what artillery was and had seen artillery. However, this was the first time he had seen it. The shocking feeling of four or five artillery fired at the same time. Although these artillery were not very powerful - Sanhao Changyi had seen more powerful artillery. However, their accuracy shocked Sanhao Changyi.

At a distance of 300 meters, accurately hit the battlement. It is not a city wall, but a battlement! This not only requires an accurate grasp of the shooting distance of the artillery, but also requires a perfect grasp of the height of the shell landing point - how to aim? The five guns of the Red Leaf Army, except for one of the fire low and hit the city wall, the remaining four guns accurately hit the battlement.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Not long after, the next round of shooting came. This time, the cannon that was at the beginning also hit the battlement, and five projectiles hit the battlement, causing gravel and dust to fly together again. This time, since all the feet were already lying on the city wall or hiding behind the battlement, there were basically no casualties.

However, Sanhao Changyi did not breathe a sigh of relief - because he found the iron gunners of the Red Leaf Army, under the cover of the artillery, left the main army with great strides and walked to the thirty feet below the city, lined up a dense array, pointing the black muzzle at different angles to the city wall. During this period, Sanhao's foot was afraid of the attack of artillery and did not dare to show up, and no one hindered the iron gunners from the array.

However, when the 135o iron cannons were neatly pointed at the city wall to complete the firepower suppression, the archers of the Sanhao family no longer had a chance to counterattack. Once someone showed up, they would be beaten into dice in an instant.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"This..." Ogasawara Narusuke saw the strange siege of the Red Leaf Army, and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he turned his eyes to Sanhao Changyi, who was squatting next to him. The latter also had a serious expression, and he didn't know what kind of orders to issue.

"135o iron cannons and 5 big tubes..." Sanhao Changyi took a breath and shook his head helplessly, "This firepower is not something that our 5oo archers on the wall can compete with."

Immediately afterwards, the auxiliary soldiers of the Red Leaf Army began to move out continuously. They carried sandbags and lined up in neat rows to walk out of the gap left by the iron gunner phalanx. From a high place, it was like a pile of yellow mud water flowing out of the three red leaves. After they arrived at the city of Anhetian City, they threw the sandbags in their hands down the moat and splashed water. Those who threw the sandbags would leave from both sides, receive the new sandbags in front of the formation, and then walked out of the gap between the three square arrays in the center.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Since the iron gunners and artillery of the Red Leaf Army had completely suppressed the firepower at the city wall, the Sanhao Army could not shoot an arrow, and could not completely interfere with the operation of the Red Leaf Army's auxiliary soldiers. Therefore, the operation of the Red Leaf Army's auxiliary soldiers to fill the moat was as relaxed and comfortable as workers on the construction site were transporting supplies, and some people would look at the quiet city wall of Kiyoshita City as if nothing had happened. Soon after, the moat outside the east gate of Kiyoshita City had been filled by the Red Leaf Army. The subsequent auxiliary soldiers brought several large pieces of wooden boards and laid a simple path on the sandbag facing the east gate.

"When they start climbing the cloud ladder to climb the city, their long-range soldiers dare not attack like this unscrupulously." Sanhao Changyi pondered for a moment and made a judgment, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if they are suppressed for the time being. They may not necessarily collapse the stone city wall with iron cannons and large tubes."

However, the further actions of the Red Leaf Army surprised Sanhao Changyi. They did not push out any ladders. The empty plains and the townside of the city, the only siege was a wooden iron rushing cart. There was a huge iron rushing hammer hanging on the cart. The iron eaves on the top of the rushing cart were covered by the dozens of auxiliary soldiers pushing the cart below, and slowly pushed the heavy cart towards the city gate. They walked through the gap left by the meter of the iron gunners, and took heavy steps, slowly approaching the gate. The wheels of the rushing cart left clear deep ruts on the land, and the rumble of the wheels pressing over the ground became a monotonous melody in the gap between the roar of the big barrel.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"This is..." Mihao Changyi looked at the dozens of auxiliary soldiers of the Red Leaf Army in amazement, pushed the Chongcheng car directly outside the east gate of Kishiwata City, pushed the simple wooden boardwalk, and pushed it to the east gate. Since Kishiwata City is a flat city and there is no mountainous land, the Chongcheng car was able to push it up flat.
