A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 648 54. The raging fire burned Edo

There is something strange happening in Edo Castle!

"Shichiki! Go there yourself! Go and inform Meigoro on the other side of Hirakawa to prepare for a night battle!"

"Heiroku! Take my iron cannons across the river and hand them over to Meigoro!"

There was no one in sight, and in the dark night, Xiaoping was unable to mobilize the army. The coalition troops and horses are mixed together, and the whole body is affected by a single move. Once chaos occurs at night, it will be impossible to clean up!

"Koheita!" Koheita greeted, and Kanbaru Yasumasa, who was holding Xiaoheita's horse mark, jumped up from the haystack.

"How do you get it right? Is there going to be a war? I'll go first, I'll go first!"

When the dead child heard the news, he thought that there was going to be another war, so he ran very fast and scurried up to Xiao Pingtai. He stared at Xiaopingtai with his big eyes, waiting for Xiaopingtai to let him kill someone.

"Hit? Beat me! Go to the female procuratorate camp and let him organize his troops!"

Hosokawa Takame has just been selecting elite troops to gather with the iron artillery troops. His troops should be the most organized team in the entire camp. After all, there are many people from other troops having fun outside, and they may not be able to call them back immediately if they want to.

Koheita is preparing. If there are really men in Edo Castle going out to fight at night, more than a thousand men of Kanai Meigoro are blocking the city. If they are not blocked, Hosokawa Saime will go out to fight.

We must ensure that the army is not in chaos and restrain the troops. If nearly 50,000 people get into chaos, it will be hard for gods to save them even if they come.

After listening to the order, several people immediately ran to deliver the order!

Although the dog is anxious to jump over the wall is a sentence that is often mentioned, but it is not that death is imminent, and Koheita did not expect that he would go out of Edo Castle to fight at night. He thought he would have to take at least two rounds of artillery fire and be wiped out before risking his life to fight.

I couldn't sleep now. I stood on the slope of Hongo Terrace and looked at the lights in Edo Castle, which were always a bit chaotic. They were shadowy, sometimes clustered together, sometimes scattered and messy.

Yamauchi Honjin has also received the news. Yamauchi Yoshiho's uncle went directly to Yamauchi Taro's camp and took his eldest nephew and Yamauchi Yoshio one by one. Hold on, wait for the news.

This side of the car started to move slowly, but in fact everyone hoped that this was a false alarm. In the current situation, fighting at night is really scary!

Inevitably, a lot of fires were lit around Hongo Terrace.

And Edo Castle seemed to have finally made up its mind, and the fire was bright. The city gate opened with a "bang", and the soldiers in the city raised fire and fought at night. They clashed with Kanai Meigoro's troops under the city who were blocking the passage out of the city.

I think everyone in the Hojo Army knew that they were running for their lives, so their shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and they were extremely brave!

And the entire encircling coalition forces were awakened by the sound of fighting that suddenly broke out in the silent night sky! The people in each team couldn't help but get busy and got up to inspect the battlefield.

After it was determined that it was a night battle out of Edo Castle, all the coalition forces uniformly sent orders to defend themselves. If coach Yamauchi Jun doesn't say anything, no one will move. Everyone present knows that the risk factor of night fighting is very high, and it is definitely not worth putting yourself in it.

That's good!

It's troublesome if you move around!

After consulting the opinions of Koheita, Hosokawa Harime and others, Murakami Yoshimitsu of our team sent envoys in the name of Yamauchi Taro to deliver a message to the besieging teams, saying that they must guard their camps and not move arbitrarily! If the Hojo Army attacks, rely on the camp to resist. As long as daybreak, everything will be easy.

The soldiers were awakened by the fierce sound of fighting, and every one of them felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. But they were all restrained by the warriors. They were not allowed to stand up, move around, or whisper to each other loudly. I can only sit quietly and listen to the sound of fighting, feeling uneasy.

It doesn't matter to Kanai Meigoro. He has served the Yamauchi family since Uesugi Kenmasa was beaten away by Hojo Ujiyasu. He has been working hard for more than ten years, waiting for the opportunity to beat the Hojo family.

Now, as the general of the 13th Division and the 5th Division of the Yamauchi Hatamoto Otei Division, he has all the elite soldiers under his command, and the iron artillery group supported by Koheta has just reached a hundred people. There is still some confidence in blocking the Hojo army rushing down the hillside of the platform.

On the one hand, he asked the soldiers to display their torches and even took down the tent curtains to light the fire, to ensure that the Yamauchi soldiers could clearly see the direction of the incoming enemy, as well as his gold-leafed southern barbarian body, which was like a scarab beetle.

Now that there is light, the iron cannon men no longer need to cover their heads and listen to the sound and shoot blindly. However, the terrain was narrow, and the Hojo Army took advantage of its commanding heights. After only two rounds of iron cannons, they rushed to the front of the Jinjing team.

When real swords and guns started to fight, the iron cannons could only retreat. This time, Kanai Meigoro did not go into battle himself, but used his Yin-ryu Notachi technique, which is famous in the East. As long as the "Ghost Gold Well" is there, it will be an inspiring banner, enough to drive soldiers to fight.

Standing on the slope, Xiao Pingtai could not see clearly. He only knew that two tight "lines of fire" were constantly colliding, and the fierce sound of fighting was hitting his ears.

"Shichiki, how will Meigoro's troops be doing when you come back?"

"Kanai Soi, a veteran general, ordered two hundred people to patrol the camp with guns after nightfall. So although I was a little surprised, I moved very quickly! I had already formed a formation when I left, which was very safe!" Shichiki looked towards the battlefield and tried to See clearly, Bian said to Xiao Pingtai.

"Why is the sound of iron cannons so rare? Hei Liu hasn't brought the iron cannons over yet?"

"The iron cannon cannot be fired! There is only one fence blocking the passage, which is only forty or fifty steps away from the city gate. The iron cannon can only be fired twice."

"Send two more people to investigate under the city. Don't affect Minggoro's command!" Because he couldn't see clearly, Xiaoheita always felt uneasy.

Forget about other things, looking at this, the Hojo Army attacked very fiercely. If they break through, then they will be another hero! What if we let them into Odawara?

Edo Castle is now meat on the chopping block, and it is easy for the Yamauchi family to obtain it. The more than 4,000 soldiers and horses who have been fighting with the Oishi clan for many years cannot be let go. If they are let go, it will be a disaster.

"Sent, don't worry, I've already arranged four or five people and ordered them to come back every half-quarter of an hour to report!"

Just as he was talking, Kanwara Yasumasa ran back, "Sure, Kainyu Sui has ordered his subordinates to lead a hundred capable sword-wielders to support Kanai Sui!"

"Has Cai Nu's troops been ready?"

"It's ready and ready to fight as soon as daybreak!"

"What time is it?" Xiao Pingtai looked at the sky. The moonlight was hazy and not very clear.

"About a quarter of an hour! It will take at least two and a half hours to light up!"

The lines of fire in front of them were still twisting and intersecting, and no one side was particularly prominent. It was not much different from when the war started.

The roar of hunting became more and more intense, the Edo Castle was ablaze with flames, and the Honmaru main building actually burst into flames!
