The cold wind was bleak, the moon was shining, and eight flag-protecting horses hid quietly behind Maruma. The iron cannon in his hand slowly stretched out from the nakama (the shot hole), and the muzzle quietly pointed at the vanguard warriors over a hundred meters opposite. A servant recruited from Motomama held a torch and walked back behind Maruma, ready to ignite the fuses of the iron cannon for them. Opposite Maruma was out, the 180-man Ono Army was also silent. The generals led kept sending envoys to the rear to ask for instructions on when to launch an attack.

The so-called horse out is somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese urn city, but under normal circumstances, horse out is built in front of the tiger's mouth, which is regarded as the second line of defense. The tiger's mouth is a defensive fortification directly in front of the Dashou Gate, and the purpose is also to delay the enemy's speed of entering the Dashou Gate.

Honmaru's horse out is called "Maruma out" because it is semicircular. Setting it at the entrance of the bridge leading to Tiger's mouth can play the role of a man as a pass without opening. It is precisely for this reason that Jun Sophora sent eight warriors to guard it. Conversely, only four people were left to guard the Tiger's mouth and the Dashou Gate. In his opinion, if the horse out is broken, the enemy can cross the inner hay and approach the Tiger's mouth. At this time, it is almost impossible to resist the enemy outside the gate.

Ono Jinagata wanted to personally invite Maeda Tatsunaga to the city, but he still had fantasies about persuading Jun Sobo to surrender, so he had to go to Maeda's family room with his second brother Ono Jinoya, and he temporarily served as the general, responsible for capturing Honmaru and forcing Yodohime to hand over Hinata.

As the general, he should have sat firmly in the formation and commanded the entire army, but Ono Zhichan disagreed and came straight to the front of the formation and shouted at the flag-protecting horse not far away: "I am Ono Shun Repair Liang Zhichan, and I dare to ask the princess horse head (Dian Jian is Tang Ming, who is the main horse head) to come out and see him."

After about five minutes, the sound of Maruma who had been silent for a long time finally came out: "Mr. Dianjiu cannot pull away, please repair and go to the city alone to speak."

"Going into the city alone? Humph, I am a fool, but I can't do it." Ono Jinaga called a samurai in front of him, and after whispering, he asked him to go to Honmaru on his behalf.

"Repair the recurrence of foot disease, I, Oda Mitsuyuemon, came here for you." The general said as he ran towards Maruma. He was nervous, but he comforted himself: "After all, he is an envoy, so there should be no problem."

Facts proved that he overestimated himself. The samurai Maruma did not regard him as an envoy, but was rebellious with Ono Jikaku. Why should he have a mercy to the gang? The warrior with Miao name Ota vaguely saw a ignition of fire suddenly appearing from the opposite side. Just as he was thinking about the bad things, he saw several projectiles fired from Nagama with the gunshot. With the sound of "puff" metal hitting **, the samurai groaned and fell into a pool of blood.

"Dinojiu wants to see Ono repairs, and why did you send only one lower-level samurai here? Isn't it a shame for Nojiu to be the identity? Since you are not sincere, there is no need to waste any more talk." Before Onoji Nagato got angry, the leader of the samurai after the horse was released, and the provocative shouting immediately made Ono and his soldiers angry. The high-level samurai even rushed to apply for the first formation, vowing to kill all Jun Sopo and these flag-protecting horses.

Seeing that his morale was so high, Ono Yukinaga was full of confidence and immediately ordered that the general of the Nakajima clan was appointed as the striker, leading the 80 leading troops to attack Maruma directly.

Although there were only eight people inside the horse out, there were no less than a hundred people who could shoot. In order to minimize the losses, he ordered everyone to attack the front of the horse out to avoid being defeated by the defenders one by one.

Since the loading time of the iron cannon is fifteen to thirty seconds, except for the four or five who rushed to the front and fell to the ground, the other soldiers successfully arrived at the Touka where the horse came out. Since it was Maruchi's horse, the height was only two meters. In addition, the doors on both sides lacked troops to guard, soon, the fortification collapsed instantly like a dam rushing down from a flood. The soldiers who were excited to the top of the sergeant kept climbing over the Touka, rushed through the Touka and entered the Horse came out, shouting and roaring to attack the eight warriors.

At this moment, the flag-protecting horses simply put down their iron cannons and drew out their swords to fight to the death with the oncoming enemy. However, the strength of the enemy and us was very different. In the ratio of nearly one to ten, most horses only cut one foot and were chopped into meat paste. Only two older samurai tried to break through the encirclement and retreat back to the tiger's mouth. Their skillful swordsmanship once made the Ono Army frightened, and they only dared to surround but not attack.

Seeing the soldiers staggering, Horino Yukiji scolded them as timid as a mouse, while angrily pushing away the crowd and walking to the innermost part of the encirclement. Two samurai blades were leaning against each other back to back, and their bodies had already been dyed red by plasma. Although they were very brave, they still had dozens of knife wounds on their bodies. The older samurai's calves were trembling. When they looked carefully, they saw that the wound, which was poked by the bamboo gun, was bleeding out.

"Brother, Keisanro, why are you here?!" Faced with these two samurai soldiers who were ready to die at any time, Yukiji Horino shouted almost madly.

The older samurai was slightly stunned, wiped the blood stains at the corners of his eyes, looked at Yukiji Horino, and after confirming his judgment, he replied coldly: "I am a flag-protecting horse under Jun Norifugal, how could a traitor like you be your younger brother?!"

"I am Yukimasato Horino Keizaburo. Who is you, a traitor? It's ridiculous to say that you are my brother." The young warrior also echoed sternly.

"Well, since you don't recognize me, there is no other way." Horino Yukiji waved his hand gently, and a squat of iron cannon suddenly popped up behind him. "I came to Yasuna on the order of Ono's repair. If you two are willing to let our army go, you can leave it alone. Otherwise, don't blame your brothers for being ruthless."

"Bastard, you don't have any brothers, why are you talking nonsense?" The older samurai interrupted Yukiji Horino's warning with a firm determination, "Yanon, huh, you really can say it. Everyone can kill you and traitors like Ono Jinaga. Even if you die today, you will do your best to be a samurai. And you, haha, I'm afraid you will always be scolded by the world!"

"Enough!" Horino Yukiji roared and "shooting", and suddenly dozens of projectiles shot at the chests of the two warriors from different angles. In the smoke of gunpowder, the two of them used their last strength to laugh to the sky, without saying a word, and fell into a pool of blood.

"Okay, the thief is dead, everyone follows me to attack Honmaru!" Yukiji Hono raised the Taidao in his hand and waved it heavily to the tiger's mouth on the other side of the bridge. Everyone's fighting spirit was also high again because of Hono's "destroying relatives for justice" and raised the spears and Taidao in his hand and went crazy to kill the tiger's mouth.

When he learned that Maruma had lost his life, the four samurai warriors in the Dashou Gate, who were responsible for guarding the tiger's mouth, were panicked. After a round of shooting in a hurry, they could only stand behind the door and make the final struggle.

"The trapped beast is still fighting. Brothers, come on me and take down the head of Jun Sobo to the ten bounties!" Horino Yukiji immediately ordered the samurai behind him to bring the city hammer. After a few hits, the door bolt behind the door could not resist the impact and broke.

"It's broken, it's my Shinoyama-Miya and Eimon!" The samurai who entered the city shouted loudly to prevent the military achievements from being taken away by others. The rest of the samurai followed closely, and the sea water poured into the Oshou Gate. Before the four flag-protecting horses could retreat, they were killed by the oncoming Ono Army.

After all, the four heads cannot satisfy the slaughter of so many people. The ultimate goal of most samurai is Jun Zongbao, who is the general.

I thought the county Zongbao would hide everywhere because of the city breaking, but I never thought that this veteran was sitting steadily in the middle of the grass opposite the Dashou Gate, gently wiping his beloved Taidao with a handkerchief. Such courage was just like the thousand-sized pot beside him, which made people feel awe.

"The head of Norishima is also from my Shinoyama-Miya Yuemon!" Before Horino Yukiji entered Honmaru, the samurai who had achieved some success thought he was sharp-eyed and quick-witted. He shouted "Blessed by Hachiman Great Bodhisattva" and went to Jun Sobo to kill him desperately.

"Don't defile my knife." At that time, when the two were still about two meters apart, Jun Zongbao suddenly picked up the spear from the side, leaned forward, waved his arm hard, and flew straight out. With a "puff", the spear passed through Xiaoshan's left chest and penetrated the other samurai behind him, and stopped until it pierced into the third samurai's thigh.
