Celebration 20 Oct 5 -

At dawn, on the top floor of Honmaru at Castle Castle Castle, three men, Guiguang Hiroshi, Sapporo and Yabui, were watching the Pan-island army under their eyes.

Even the evening before them, it had been confirmed that the army of Naomi, the general, had joined, and that the number had swelled to thirty-two thousand, but the brothers of the very soldiers and the Yabuki could not hide their surprises.

No, I was more surprised by the changes that took place overnight than exactly the Hot Island Army.

"Lord Gui... what the hell is this...?

On the other hand, the spread smiled at what was going on under his eyes.

"That's Naomi Hot Island. Wow! Ha ha!

This is hilarious!

"What's so funny?

When his younger brother, Yabui, inquired in a less nuanced manner, Hiroshi replied with his expression undone.

"No, I'm sorry. The more adversity you get, the more blood you make noise, that's the bad habit of doing it.

Forgive me. "

"... which means the situation is pretty bad..."

Yes, when his brother, Vega, dropped his shoulder, he put his hand on his shoulder like that, and the spread continued.

"That's right.

Overnight, the road leading to the major gates was' buried and widened '.

In that case, a large number of soldiers can push against the gate.

I can't say the situation is good because the gate is more likely to be broken. "

"So, is' that 'the only way anymore?

Yes, when Yabui hit him, Broad Traditions answered with a loose mouth again.

"Right. When the time comes, there's more to it than that.

No sweat, do it. "

When Broad Traditions spoke this way, the young brothers nodded and tightened their expressions.

◇ ◇

"So it's time to go..."

Yes, Naomi Hot Island spoke to Mao An Naruto, next door.

Already the autumn day is high, and the hour is before noon.

In order to widen the road to the Great Gate, we allowed the soldiers to rest until such times because we had to drag the water through the night to fill the perimeter of the road with dirt, but after seeing how the mood began to fill up in the morning, we decided it was right when we marched.

To his word, Mao 'an has already rushed to the front line Hot Island Zhongmao Squad. What a brilliant proximity, he thought so, staring behind him across the horse, even without putting it to words, but as if he had recalled something, he quickly turned that gaze towards the castle of Castle Island, which comes a long way.

"Well... how long will it last..."

And it was to crush.

………

……

The attack on Castle Jojima by the Hot Island Army, which resumed from before noon, was far more intense than the day before.

The young Nono brothers also fought well, but just as many were passive and decided it was only a matter of time before the Great Gate was broken through, they saw fit and retreated the soldiers from near the castle gate.

"Almost there! Break through here and you'll drop the castle at once!

When the voice of the Superior War of Zhongmao Hot Island, the vanguard general, who does not make you feel you are injured, sounds, try to respond to it and the blow of the soldiers to the castle gate gets heavier.

And...

The gate was finally opened by a loud blunt noise.

"Wow!!

at the same time that the cheer rose that

"Hold on!!

And Zhongmao's shout stuck.

"Whoa whoa!!

Raising a voice from his belly, the soldiers of the Hot Island army slip into the castle like turbulence.

The mansion streets lined with townhouses and martial arts mansions are already deserted and secluded.

Around that, the Hot Island Army pushes forward with flashy footsteps and rubbing sound of armor.

In the meantime, there was no creepy Tachibana Army attack, but no one was alone in that, such as something that made such a lot of sense, and the Mansion City was quickly filled with pot island soldiers as well.

And Zhongmao's vanguard team, who leads the way, came into a narrow passage leading to the two circles.

From the two circles to the main circle, even though it is a natural embankment, is it only a little higher, its passage is only a little climbing.

But that degree of inclination did not end up blunting the Hot Island Army's legs.

And it was then that I turned the last corner...

A poor minister's gate came into my eyes at the end of the ramp, but it's wide open.

Behind it, two soldiers… soldiers of Tachibana.

Those two men stood by the wall with a large hammer.

Of course, that alone does not stop the assault of soldiers on Hot Island, like a pig rampage.

Rather, taking it to them and capturing the score of "enemy soldiers" was enough bait to accelerate the foot of that assault.

But...

Who would have guessed that tragedy would strike them like that at the next moment...

Even with the famous general under heaven and the famous Naomi Hot Island, something unimaginable happened.

That's, Dogon! It began with a loud noise from the walls, like rocking the ground that

What two soldiers of Tachibana began to destroy the walls with a hammer in their hands.

To its great shock, a few cracks enter the wall, freshly smudged and creepy.

- Dogon!

- Dogon!

The two soldiers breathed together, relentlessly slamming the hammer against the wall.

But it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the soldiers on Hot Island, such as what they think and are trying to break the walls of the castle, and they come running up the hill with their eyes running blood.

And it was at that time when he tried to climb through the gates that were upon him.

- Dogah!

And when I thought something had completely collapsed, there was a big hole in that wall.

An astonishing sight you just can't ignore stops the foot of a Hot Island army soldier running in the lead.

"Something!?

And he raised his voice, and tried to circle his head to understand what had happened on the spot, and they were afraid of what had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Water.

Literally, waves as high as their hips have struck them.

At the end of the hole in the large open walls is the Tsukubakawa river filled with abundant water.

The water of the river drawn in from it, by the closed walls, had lost its place of destination and poured it into the moat beneath the walls, but more so than at that time when the great holes had been opened, it poured into the castle at once, like an army whose gates were still opened and stormed.

It goes without saying that the whereabouts are lower than on the hill.

That is, it literally turned turbid and pushed toward the army of the impending pot island.

That water pressure doesn't know that pushing the Pioneer Squad on Hot Island all the way back down the hill at once will stay.

In an instant, he filled the mansion with water.

The soldiers of Hot Island, who had entered the castle without being able to move on to the unstoppable water and without being able to withdraw immediately because of the great army, were plunged into mayhem.

- Come on, back off!

- Whoa! Don't step on it!

That appearance is exactly what is worthy of being called an annoyance cry.

But their tragedy did not end here.

There is no better outfit for the artillery squad than the totally stopped soldiers.

"Ok! It took!! Now!! Ugh!!"

What a group of Tachibana artillery that suddenly appeared on the roof of Honmaru, by decree of the Horse Guard, showered the artillery from the overhead of the Pan-island army in "Early Warning".

Bumps and falling soldiers.

But retreat is hard to move on.

"Not yet!!! No arrows!

Now from above the walls of Honmaru, when the voice of Yabuki sounded, the fire arrows were simultaneously unleashed towards the deserted mansion.

Then the firehand rises from that mansion of wood.

Moreover, the lower part of the building had begun to contain moisture, so the smoke was about to rise and plunged the Pan-island army into havoc.

- Get out of here!

- Not this way! Over there!

Tachibana Army artillery shells and bows and arrows pour like rain against the right and left Hot Island soldiers.

Even Zhongmao Hot Island, the vanguard general, was the end of his escape from the castle, soaking his face and turning it black with his life.

"Pioneer team! Get out of here! Clear the way below the second line! Quick!!"

The pressing fury of Narumi Mao 'an, who detected the anomaly as soon as possible from outside the castle, echoes.

Nor did the soldiers outside the castle know what the hell had happened, but they had nothing better to do than take two or three steps back as they were told.

Naomi, who had left the main unit and watched as she approached the castle, could not block her mouth open with surprise.

"This way of fighting, no way..."

It was a story I heard directly from the late Hideyoshi Tai that floated behind his brain, so crushed.

It's about a castle that Hideyoshi once attacked with about 30,000 troops to attack China.

In order to be complete, Hideyoshi was the castle owner who defended Honmaru and the warlord who defended Hideyoshi, but by only one man, Hideyoshi's 30,000 great armies were repelled, its legendary Battle of Cage Castle.

The way he fought then overlapped with exactly what was happening now in front of him.

What the man did was push the warlords and soldiers, who had fallen asleep below the castle, to Higashimaru by a fierce attack.

And what a gathering of all his soldiers on the roof of the main circle, from which they unleashed firing arrows simultaneously to burn down the eastern circle.

Many of the fallen soldiers were burned to death in the east circle, and the castle was filled with the mindless groans of the dying soldiers, apparently...

"This castle will no longer serve as a castle," said Hideyoshi Hanzai and Kuroda, who were afraid of the man's "ghost" appearance.

- That's not a ghost protecting the castle! I've never seen a castle like that before!

The words of Hideyoshi are still in my ear.

"To defend the castle, destroy the castle... how to fight it... it just seems like a 'ghost' place..."

The ghost who guards the castle - the man's name... Gui Hiroshi.

"No way..."

At the next moment, he unconsciously skipped the instructions out loud.

It was addressed to all the soldiers in this place, not to anyone.

"Retreat all troops!! Never fight!! Spare your life and get out of the castle!!

………

……

Celebrating October 21, 5 -

The date had just changed, and while the area was completely surrounded by darkness, the figure of the soldiers working solemnly was inside the castle of Castle Island.

Relying on the light of the moon, they nevertheless proceed with their work in an orderly manner.

It was to escape out of the castle by canoe from the large hole that had been drilled the day before to get it in order.

Boat over what is ready and continue to the banks of Tsukagakawa River.

When the boat lowers its soldiers there, it returns to the castle again and leaves again with its soldiers towards the river.

And finally, the last two youngsters left...

Regardless, he is the brother of Kono and Yabui.

But they didn't quite try to get on the boat saying, "Upon becoming, you will die with the castle".

With such a merciful look at them as he saw himself when he was young, Gui Guangchao tenderly told them.

"Listen carefully.

'Castle' is what protects' man '.

And 'people' is what keeps' hope '.

Where is the Lord's 'hope' to protect now?

If there is no longer 'hope' to be defended here, then dying with the castle as a pillow is disrespectful to the castle.

The only time a 'man' dies with a castle as a pillow is when there is' hope 'to protect that castle.

Don't forget that.

If you understand, you must leave the castle now. "

As he perceived this word, the brothers board the boat with something shining in their eyes.

Finally, when Broad Tradition himself boards the same boat,

"There is only one more thing… there is always' hope '. Unless your lords throw it away.

Come on, let's go. "

And I said quietly.

That morning...

I thought a lot about Castle Isle, which was too quiet, and the Hot Island Army, as a messenger, re-directed Shinzo Hot Island.

He then reported to Naomi what was happening in the amazing castle, which became a stunning shell.

Naomi, who heard the report,

"Ha!! I see! I see! This is fun!! The sky is clear with enemies!

And I laughed painfully for a while.

The battle of Castle Castle Castle...

That might have been a 'victory' in terms of letting the castle open if it had been made into a pan-island army.

But let's not forget that there was no damage at all to the Castle of Castle Castle's defensemen, and that of the Hot Island Army on the other hand it crapped hundreds.

Besides, only two hundred soldiers in one small castle without any strange philosophy defended the castle firmly for two days against more than thirty thousand great army opponents.

Then the battlefield moved to the next place.
