Seeing the Oda army fading like a tide, the Imakawa family's stingers cheered excitedly. Due to the cover of the Oda family's archers on the city wall, the Imakawa army could not pursue it.
Due to the fires in North Castle and South Castle, the Oda army has not invaded the city from both sides until now.
"We did it!" Yu Qiuping shouted excitedly at the slights, "We're keeping it!"
However, the good times did not last long. Not long after the Oda family's troops had evacuated from the city, a large number of soldiers rushed up again, and this time, they attacked from North City, West City and South City at the same time.
"The fire has not yet been extinguished. What are they doing?" Although Yu Qiuhei did not understand the movements of the Oda family, he still asked the troops to continue defending according to the way they were deployed just now.
The first to climb the city were the archers of the Oda family. They continued to attack on the city tower at the inn where Tianshou Pavilion and the personal guards were located, suppressing the archers and javelins that could hardly raise their heads and fight back.
Yu Qiupi frowned, but it was acceptable. Under such circumstances, although the archers of the Imakawa family were unable to shoot the Oda family's troops, the archers of the Oda family had no spare energy to attack the Imakawa family's footsteps.
However, the foot of the city that followed the city did not kill the city wall as Yu Qiuping expected. The foot of the city of the West City rushed straight along the city wall toward the North City and the South City, without holding a bamboo gun in his hand, and instead were shovels and wooden boards.
"Nani?" Yu Qiuping was confused for a while, "Is this going to put out the fire? There is no soil on the city wall, why do you use a shovel?"
However, the Oda family's actions quickly surprised him. The Oda family's feet rushed into the two city walls of the north and south regardless of the danger of being burned, and used shovels and wooden boards to pull out the flammable materials on the city walls such as straws, wooden fences, and horses that were on fire. Their actions were exaggerated. The burning flammable materials were thrown high and fell into the houses in the city.
"Is it necessary to extinguish fires by clearing the obstacles? Is it necessary to do such a big move..." Yu Qiuping was curious and stared at Oda Jun's foot's light action. "This is for..." Yu Qiuping suddenly realized something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the area of ​​the house next to the city wall.
"Oh no!" As Yu Qiuping growled, the houses near the city walls on both sides had been ignited by the flammable materials left by the Oda army, and the fire was gradually expanding. Some of the soldiers of Yuotun Ogawa, who were originally ambushed in the house, had to escape quickly in the rolling smoke.
At this moment, a group of Oda Army auxiliary soldiers appeared on the front wall. They were in groups of people, carrying small oil pans, either on the stairs or down the stairs, pouring boiling oil on the fortifications in Zhili City.
"Quick! Shoot those who hold oil pans!" Yu Qiuhei saw that something was wrong, and the archers who barely attacked shot over two oil pans, burning many Oda army troops, but he was also hit by the Oda family archery team and was forced to stop.
As several torches were thrown into the city, not only the North Castle and South Castle urban areas, but also the fortifications near the West Castle were ignited instantly. The fire became increasingly larger and the rolling heat waves were approaching the Imakawa family. The footmen on the defense line were forced to retreat one after another, and several people were shot by the Oda family archers on the way. After they finally escaped to Tianshou Pavilion, half of the city was almost engulfed by the fire.
"Oh no, I'm having a big time." Yu Qiuping was helpless at this moment. It was impossible to put out the fire. The fortifications that he had worked hard to build had been burned. "Hurry up, retreat to the East City!"
Before he finished speaking, several Oda's army who rushed to the Dongcheng wall along the city walls took the lead in igniting the flammable materials on the Dongcheng walls, and a fire broke out in the Dongcheng walls. The current Shiri City, the South City North City and the West City Walls were occupied by the Oda family, and the East City Walls also ignited the fire. The Oda family was still constantly throwing the flammable materials down, igniting the Dongcheng urban area. There were not only fires in the Xicheng urban area, but also the Oda army on the city walls.
It is no longer possible to break through.
Didn't expect that he would be burned to death in the end?
Yu Qiuping swallowed and covered her face in pain. The surrounding Imakawa family also leaned in despair against the Tianshou Pavilion where there was no fire, and could only wait for death silently.
"No! You can't give up!" Yu Qiuping suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Didn't we agree! Even if we want to die, we must fight to the end!"
"Build an isolation belt!" Yu Qiuping thought of the forest fire prevention method he had learned before, "thrust all the houses around Tianshou Pavilion and dig another trench! Pile water from the well water of Tianshou Pavilion and pour it into the trench!"
"Hurry!" Yu Qiuping saw that everyone was still a little stunned, so he picked up a hoe and rushed forward, "According to the grouping of each team, we will act."
Imakawa's family rushes to push down every house he sees in front of him, and then scatters, hoes, swords, and even bamboo guns are used to dig the soil, pile up the soil on the inside of the trench. The trench fights desperately with the rolling heat waves and flames, and the sweat is instantly dry. The trench is rushing over one by one, pouring the water into the trench, and then runs back to fetch water again. The trench is digging wider and wider, and the trench surrounding Tianshou Pavilion has already revealed its prototype, and the flames are finally blocked from the pushed house and do not continue to spread.
At the fourth hour of the Si-Yuan, the flames were isolated five meters away from the Tianshou Pavilion. Including the seriously injured, the more than 200 surviving people were all hiding in the Tianshou Pavilion. Everyone poured water on their bodies to resist the rolling heat waves. As for the serious wounded people of the Oda family, they were no longer cared about, and many people died in the fire. Mimaezaki Nakahide also threw Sasa Masaji's coffin into the fire with anger. However, the well water was suddenly used in large quantities and could not keep up. The thirsty Yoshikazuka ignored Ogawa Yudong's opposition and snatched several bottles of his wine and gave it to the lower skull to drink.
"The nine bottles of wine are 27 texts in total, and I will be returned to me when the time comes!" Ogawa Yudong cursed.
"You drunkard are sober now!" Ji Gang Shengzheng smiled, "When I finished drinking, I was drunk, but I couldn't even remember the price!"
"Does it be two people or not." Mimaezaki Nakatsuhide also smiled.
The conversation between the three people more or less eased the atmosphere of despair. After hearing that Zu Qingtoumen was still discussing paying the money, Zu Qingtiao also slightly regained some confidence.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who was standing on the wall of Xicheng, looked at the whole city gradually engulfed by the fire with satisfaction.
"The Lord is a good idea, and Fire breaks the enemy." Naomasa Konoha compliments, "I admire you very much."
"Hmph, don't look at who our lord is, you still want to play tricks." Sabuki Ryono smiled. "Our lord set fire to the city of Qingzhou ten years ago. What's that guy on the other side?"
"But Yu Qiuhei is really a talent." Oda Nobunaga said approvingly, "Even if the situation is so dangerous, I will still deal with it calmly and keep the Tianshou Pavilion from being burned by the fire."
"Now this fire wall has become an obstacle for us." Oda Nobunaga frowned, "Look a fire on the city wall, let the archers light the bows and arrows in the fire, and shoot rockets at the Tianshou Pavilion in the city!"
As the Oda family began to shoot rockets at Tianshou Pavilion, the Tianshou Pavilion, which had already been dried, immediately caught fire everywhere. However, there was not much water left. The slightest one had to use shovels to shovel the soil to put out the fire, or put out the fire with clothes. However, the fire on the roof was really out of reach. The roof of Tianshou Pavilion was burned down soon, and the falling roof ignited the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion. Yu Qiuping, who was at the end of the mountain, looked at the dense rockets falling from the Oda family, and the fire on the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion, and finally realized what despair was. He was very thirsty, hungry and tired, but he had no time to rest. He had no idea how many times the sweat had wet his clothes and was dried by the fire several times.
"Sir." Amano Keidu suddenly came to Yu Qiuping and whispered, "Sir, you can send an envoy to ask for surrender. The lives of the slaves in Shihe are not important. You are a great man, you should not die here just like this."
"How is that possible!" Yu Qiukai grabbed Amano Keidu's shoulder with his back hand and shouted in a low voice, "I promised that everyone will live and die together! As long as this red leaf is still there, I will never leave everyone alone!"
"Sir..." Amano Keidu looked ruthless, "Then you can't let the adults decide."
Yu Qiuhei looked back and saw that Fukushima Ansei, Yoshikazu Katsumasa, Omaezaki Nakahide and Ogawa Yutomi, Charlie and his personal guards all gathered around him.
"Tie the adults, and then we tell the people of the Oda family that they surrender and we will come back to resist." Mimaezaki Nakahide smirked, "Master Amano, the foreigner and the one-eyed boy have been caring for so many days. You don't have to accompany us to die, let's go together."
"You dare! No!" Yu Qiuping scolded sternly, "Person Guard! Thompson! Don't mess with them!"
"Sir, there's no time!" Amano Keidu looked at the growing fire and the falling rockets, "We..."
At this critical moment, the rockets that had been falling suddenly stopped. The Imakawa military football team seized the time to put out the fire immediately, and finally curbed the fire.
Yu Qiuping looked at the city wall in surprise, and saw that the Oda army on the city wall staring straight in the southwest. Many people screamed in surprise, and several people raised their arms and pointed to the southwest, pulling their companions who were not seen around.
Yu Qiuping jumped to a commanding height on the third floor of the Tianshou Pavilion and looked southwest.
I saw a flag flying high in a hill far away in the wind.
A big red bird is flying on the white flag.
"Red Bird Military Flag!" Amano Keid suddenly shouted excitedly, "That is the horse seal of the main hall of the family!"
"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!" After Omaezaki Nakahide reacted, he shouted excitedly, wishing every slightest could be heard, "Our governor is here in person! The doomsday of the Oda family has arrived!"
The Imakawa army, who had already ended his journey, suddenly escaped from death, and many people whipped their thirsty throats and shouted excitedly. Many people were speechless with joy, just waving their arms, hugging each other, and jumping to celebrate.
At this time, on the wall of Xicheng.
"That's right... it's Yoshimoto's horse seal." Oda Nobunaga's face turned pale.
"Can it be the enemy's bluff? Imakawa Yoshimoto's horse seal was erected to scare us?" Naomasa Shizuka's voice trembled, "Imakawa Yoshimoto is in Jun Mansion! How could it be here so soon!"
"This is not important!" Oda Nobunaga suddenly furious, "What did Ma Chuang do? Why did the enemy touch our noses without any reward!"
"That place..." Kawajiri Hidetaka suddenly reacted, "It was the location of the tent we set up on the official road from Kariya Castle to Shirika."
