The bad news of the fall of Otemon blew through Gozeyama Castle like a whirlwind, shocking the ashigaru of the Takeda family into panic.
Yoshimi Masakune also reacted at this time, and shouted tremblingly, "Send my order, the entire army marches towards Otemon, and take back Otemon!"
At this time, Muto Yuki also stood next to Itami Masakune and said loudly, "Muto family Ashari, listen, Gozeyama Castle is our last barrier. Once the city is lost, none of us can escape!"
"Kill them all and eliminate the traitors from the Shanxian family!"
"kill!"
...
Goze Mountain Castle, Otemon Gate.
As Inuhachiro Yamaoka opened the city gate, hundreds of Kyogoku soldiers who were ambushed outside the city were able to enter the city smoothly.
Akao Kiyosuna, Amamori Kiyosada and others immediately found Yamagata Shengnobu and Yamaoka Inuhachiro who were on the castle tower.
"Inuhachiro, how is the situation at Otemon?"
"Lord Akao, the guard of Otemon, Yoshimi Kagome, has been asked by Lord Yamagata. Now, except for some of the Yoshigaru of the Yoshimi family who are still resisting, all the enemy troops near Otemon have been wiped out!" Yamaoka Inu! Hachiro said, pointing to the hundreds of ashigaru in the northwest corner of Otemon.
Akao Kiyotsuna's eyes shrank, and then he waved his hand: "Kill them all!"
Amemori Kiyosada and Isono Emasa immediately rushed towards the direction pointed by Akao Kiyosuna with their ashigaru. For a moment, they were like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, and screams were endless on the battlefield.
Yamagata Shengxin stood on the tower and couldn't bear to see the ashigaru falling continuously.
These are all members of the Takeda family!
To be honest, Yamagata Shengxin didn't want to get a Takeda family that suffered heavy losses. If the strength of the Takeda family could be preserved to the maximum extent, it would be a good thing for him.
Otherwise, if the Takeda family suffers a large number of casualties in this battle, it will inevitably make the Takeda family unable to recover for a long time. In this way, the Takeda family's voice in the Kyogoku family will be greatly reduced.
In some things, the Takeda family will also be controlled by others!
Although he is ready to surrender to the Kyogoku family, Yamagata Shengxin does not want to become a "simple commander"!
"Listen, Ashikaru of the Yoshimi family. The Kyogoku family has already invaded the city. It will be a matter of time before Gozeyama Castle falls! You don't have to make any unnecessary resistance anymore. It's better to put down your weapons and surrender. I will definitely treat you well." You’ve been waiting for it!”
"You're dreaming!" A Yijian warrior gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Shengxin Shanxian, you are a thief who has betrayed your master. I, Yijian Hyogosuke, will take your head today to avenge my father!"
"Yes! To avenge our lord, the traitors of the Yamagata family should die!" The Ashikaru of the Yoshimi family below all said loudly with red eyes.
Obviously, these troops who are still stubbornly resisting are the troops directly under Yijian Gaoqing, and the leader below is Yizumi Hyogosuke, the son of Yijian Gaozu.
Yijian Qingfang's prestige in the Yijian family is still very high. When Yijian Changjing's father passed away, Yijian Changjing was only a few years old. The retainers of the Yijian family were ready to support Yijian Qingqing as the leader, but Yijian Qingqing resisted all opinions and insisted on assisting his nephew Yijian Changjing, thus avoiding internal strife in the Yijian family.
It can be said that the Yoshimi family has been able to successfully develop into one of the three major national groups in Wakasa, and the Yoshimi family has a lot of credit.
In addition, Yijian Qingqing also treats his subjects very well. He often goes to various villages in person to observe the people's conditions and solve some of their problems. It can be said that within the Yijian family, the prestige and reputation of Yijian HD is greater than that of Yijian Changjing!
Such a warrior who was deeply loved by the people and trusted by the leader was suddenly killed by a traitor. Naturally, these Ashigaru under Yoshimi Kagome quit.
Yoshimi Hyogosuke said loudly, "Everyone! Yamagata Shengnobu killed my father. I, Yoshimi Hyogosuke, don't want my father to die in vain!"
"Today I will shed the last drop of my blood and fight to the death with the traitors. Is there anyone willing to follow me!" Yoshimi Hyogosuke shouted to the ashigaru surrounding him.
"I am willing to avenge my lord!"
"Kill the traitor!"
"The master is deceased, we should follow the young master!!"
The Ashigaru people all responded to Isumi Hyogosuke's call!
Seeing that the ashigaru of the Yoshimi family had already expressed their intention to die, Yamagata Shengxin also knew that nothing he could say would be of any use. He immediately leaned on the city wall with a look of dejection and quietly watched everything on the battlefield.
At this time, Masa Isono and Kiyosada Amamori, who have already rushed into the crowd, will not care about you. They will raise their swords when they see the ashigaru of the Yoshimi family.
In history, Isono Danmasa was a fierce man who single-handedly broke through the 11 formations of the Oda family in the Battle of Anegawa. If the Asakura family, the pig teammates, hadn't failed to do their best and were defeated by the Tokugawa family, I'm afraid the outcome of the Battle of Anegawa would have been rewritten.
Seeing Isono Danmasa, who was in a deserted place, heading straight for Yoshimi Hyogosuke, several Yoshimi clan warriors around him quickly stepped forward and surrounded him.
"Protect the young master!"
However, a few salted fish are no match for Masa Isono.
Although Isono Umasa was still very young at this time and had not yet grown to the heights he had experienced in history, dealing with a few unknown samurai was just a matter of hands.
"Go to hell!"
Isono Danmasa flipped the saber up and down in his hand, chopping down the several Yoshimi samurai who were standing in front of him like chopping melons and vegetables.
When the bloody Isono Masaru walked slowly in front of Yoshimi Hyogosuke, only a few of the hundreds of ashigaru in the Yoshimi family were still standing. The Ashori family ashigaru led by Yumori Kiyosada is the most powerful ashigaru in the entire Kitaomi. With a mere hundred or so remnants, they are no match for the Yumori family.
"Is it Isumi Hyogosuke?"
"Remember, the person who killed you is me, Isono Tanba Mori Masaru!"
After saying that, I saw Hyogosuke's eyes flashing with sword light, and then he felt an indescribable feeling on his neck.
With confusion and fear in his eyes, I saw Hyogosuke slowly kneeling on the ground while covering his neck.
A young life passed by like this...
"Tanba, look! The troops of the Yoshimi family and the Muto family have already moved in!" Just as Isono Yuanmasa was wiping his sword, Amemori Kiyosada came to Isono Yuanmasa and shouted loudly.
Isono Yuanmao returned the sword to the scabbard and turned his head calmly. I saw densely packed enemy troops coming out from the Ninomaru and Nishiqurin directions of Goze Mountain Castle.
The reaction of Yoshimi Masakune and Muto Tomoe was really fast. The battle at Otemon had just ended when they came over with Ashigaru to kill them.
"The opponent is preparing to fight tooth and nail to take back the Otemon. Hold the Otemon and wait for Sakyo to enter the palace!"
"Array up!"
"Raise the gun!"
The ashigaru of the Isono family and the Amomori family immediately lined up in several lines and stood behind Kiyosada Amomori and Masaru Isono. Looking at the two ashigaru men standing at the front of the team, the ashigaru of the two families are high in fighting spirit and morale.
Looking at the approaching enemy troops, Masa Isono suddenly smiled and turned his head to look at Amemori Kiyosada and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mibei's guard skills are outstanding, how about we try it tonight?"
"Compared to what?"
"Let's see who kills more people!"
