The relaxed atmosphere lasted until the evening. The warriors in the camp had an early meal and rest. The eight warriors guarding the gate of the camp looked curiously at the brightly lit lights and thick smoke rising from the dense pots and stoves at the foot of the mountain. The Shinano regiment was making pots of rice. After watching it for a while, they probably felt bored and dozed off with half-closed eyes.
Onisaburo is the leader of their group. They all come from Senzuka Township in Kai Kingdom. Eight years ago, Onisaburo and some twenty other young men represented the village in military service for the lord Atobe clan. At that time, they They were still a group of young men aged 16 or 17. Eight years passed quickly, and only eight of them were left alive among the twenty young men in the past. The other friends were dead and maimed, which was very desolate.
In eight years, a group of new recruits who knew nothing about anything gradually turned into brave but clever veterans on the battlefield. The art of war requires life to compose a brilliant movement. Veterans who are good at fighting are from Coming out of the piles of corpses of countless recruits, they know how to protect themselves better than anyone else, when they must fight tooth and nail, and when they must preserve their own philosophy of life.
Ying Sanlang is a rough man who only uses a pseudonym. He does not understand the profound knowledge of life philosophy. He only knows to follow the simple principles he has summarized from what he has seen, heard, thought, and encountered over the years, even if you are brave enough. Compared with being rich and prosperous, if you die on the battlefield, you are just a fool, and only the one who survives is the master.
Ying Sanlang dozed off with his eyes closed, and many of his companions looked around for him. One person rested for the first half of the night and the other rested for the second half of the night. They wrote with each other to achieve the ultimate in laziness. They were not those uncooked melons and eggs. They would not be patrolled by a few The veteran stood at attention as soon as he was threatened.
None of these veterans who have survived for many days and nights on the battlefield are simple things. In the past few days, they have easily figured out the gaps in the training of the generals. They know that it is better to seize a good opportunity than to stand guard until death. They have to be busy in front of the generals. Usually, they are busy in front of the generals. No matter how hard or tired you are, what's the use if no one sees you? No one will praise you even if you are too busy, let alone appreciate you for it.
After dozing off for a while, I guess it was about the same time. Several gatekeepers were woken up by Oisaburo. Sure enough, Baba Nobuharu came over not long after and was very satisfied to see the eight gatekeepers in high spirits. He smiled and said a few words of encouragement. Then he ordered Ganli Xinkang, who was in charge of the camp gate, to give these people an extra night meal.
After Nobuharu's troops from the racecourse left, several ashigaru came over and flattered Oisaburo wildly. One of them said: "Those samurai masters are actually very easy to fool. As long as we take good care of ourselves, they won't care what we do in private." What, but Ying Sanlang is still smart! These elm-headed people like us would never think of such an idea."
"Hey! These are all my close friends from the same hometown. It's time to give me more help. But you must remember not to leak the news. Those patrolling soldiers must also look for opportunities to give some benefits, and be careful not to leak our methods. Get out, otherwise don't blame us all for being rude."
Ying Saburo actually knew some of the ways of serving his subordinates. He even coaxed and frightened several fellow Ashigaru residents, and then he happily found his own den and took a nap. This was his privilege as an ashigaru, and he was only responsible for it. He took good care of the warriors who were watching the night, and left the rest of the gatekeeping duties to a few other fellow villagers. Anyway, everyone had just received a night meal and didn't mind his bossy behavior.
Sleeping until midnight, there was a sudden loud noise outside the camp, and then the flames suddenly burst out, and in a short time it spread into a fire. A heart-wrenching cry came from far in the city, and the people were shocked.
Sanlang got up quickly and shouted: "What's wrong? What did you see? Where was the movement?"
"I didn't know, but I was half asleep when I heard a noise coming from Xiongjing City over there. This sound was much louder than Zuo Yoshichou's, just like... just like the one we saw in Kawanakajima
Toy!"
"Shut up! You are not allowed to mention this to anyone, you know?" Ying Sanlang scolded fiercely: "Stand still for me. When the samurai gentlemen come over in a while, they will shut their mouths tightly and listen carefully to what I say.
Say the wrong thing and everyone will die!"
However, it was said that not long after Baba Nobuharu fell asleep, he heard a deafening explosion. Because of the shadow of Kawanaka Island, he was extremely sensitive to such explosions. He jumped up with a bang and had no time to put on his clothes, so he shouted: "Ye
Attack! Ring the alarm for me and find out immediately what happened!"
The same sight also happened at the other end of the village. Masayo Sone said angrily: "It must be a night attack by the Kira Army. Get up! You are still sleeping after a night attack! Do you want to die?"
Baba Nobuharu ran to the village and asked Ying Sanlang sternly what happened. Ying Sanlang's mind was spinning very fast. He thought of his words in just a moment. He was very frightened, 70% of which was true fear, and 30% of which was deliberately pretending.
Said: "Reporting to my lord, while I was waiting to guard the door, I heard and saw a shallow shadow approaching quietly in the distance. I was stopped by a small scolding and then disappeared. I don't know if it was in the mountains.
I was like an animal, so I just heightened my vigilance but did not dare to act rashly. After a while, I heard a loud noise in Xiongjing City, and flames burst out of the city. It must be the ninjas of the Kira Army who were destroying the city gate."
This argument is reasonable, well-founded and well-detailed. In order to absolve himself of his guilt, he did not hesitate to make up a false story, and borrowed the traces of bears, wild deer and other animals that often appear in the Shinano Mountains. Anyway, these wild animals guard the place.
We could see more than 17 or 18 bears in the village the day before, and sometimes the silly bears would be attracted by the smell of meat in the camp and end up being eaten on the plate.
In order to achieve the purpose of confusing the fake with the real one, Oisaburo even included the famous ninjas of the Kira family, but he believed the famous Baba Nobuharu to be true, and solemnly praised Oisaburo for his astuteness and decisiveness, saving a potentially dangerous situation.
He threatened the safety of the camp and promised to promote him to a warrior status afterwards.
Several of Ying Saburo's companions almost made their eyes pop out. This trick of deceiving someone into not paying for their life was really unpredictable. They forced Mino, the ghost who couldn't be beaten to death, to trust him, an ashigaru head who was looking at the city gate. He could still make up lies.
To deceive the name of a warrior was a real eye-opener for these honest and humble peasant men.
Baba Nobharu thought he understood all the reasons for the explosion in Kumai Castle, so he summoned the Takeda Army who had climbed up in a hurry and rushed out of the camp. However, he did not expect that there were densely packed archery teams outside the city. They made a dumpling and were hit by a hail of arrows.
Falling into the Takeda army, these hurried Takeda soldiers suffered a disaster.
The unsuspecting ashigaru screamed and died on the spot. Baba Nobuharu felt Hattori suddenly feel a sharp pain. There was a muffled "pop" sound but an arrow hit his lower abdomen. The sharp cast iron arrow hit him.
The armor was pierced and stabbed in his abdomen. The huge pain caused his body to shake. The ashigaru of the Takeda Army were all speechless and dumbfounded, not understanding how they could suffer such a disaster head-on.
Nobuharu Baba's accidental injury cast a huge shadow on the Takeda army. Seeing that he was blocked by the Shinano army as soon as he left the house and could not rush out, the Takeda family's samurai decisively helped Nobuharu Baba retreat to the camp. Several rows of soldiers were in the samurai Under the scolding, he hurriedly took out three guns to resist the attack of Shinano Army.
Because the visibility was very low in the dark night, the archers withdrew into the shadows outside the camp lights and just shot arrows with ease. The Takeda Army's broken ashigaru had no idea where the enemy's arrows came from, and the cast iron arrows seemed to disappear into the dark night. The wandering god of death quietly took away one fresh life after another under the cover of night. In no time, Ashigaru General Masatomo Komiyayama of the rear army was captured and began to retreat.
Defeating the Takeda Army is a good thing, but not being able to break into the Takeda Army's camp is a bad thing. Baba Nobuharu's accidental injury caused some samurai to collapse at a loss, and even made many samurai go crazy. Asari Masaru Tane roared loudly: "I have bestowed great kindness on the Takeda family, and if I can't repay it today, I will use my life to defend the dignity of the Takeda family! All the samurai who lead Tane should follow me!"
This shout forcibly brought back the morale of the Takeda army, which was on the verge of collapse. The Takeda family's samurai rushed to the camp gate like crazy and guarded the camp entrance to prevent the Shinano army from getting even half an inch closer. The samurai on both sides relied on me to kill them. The situation was inextricable, and soon there was a burst of cheers from Xiongjing City. The generals on both sides, not knowing what was going on, tightened their troops and opened up a confrontation.
After a while, it was reported that Ogasawara's 5,000-strong army was defeated by the 3,000 defenders in the city. Faced with the critical situation of Otemon being breached and Ninomaru Horsede being breached, Takeda Nobushige relied on the bravery of the Takegawa people to occupy the city. Shan and his personal super command were able to divide the influx of 5,000 troops into several parts and defeat them.
After learning that Ogasawara Nagasaki failed to seize the city, Yukitaka Sanada wanted to kill someone to vent his anger. He was given such a good opportunity for revenge, but he was knocked back again. How could Yukitaka Sanada not be angry? The current situation was another violent attack. It was difficult to enter the camp. Sanada Yukitaka and Murakami Yoshikiyo were eagerly hoping that Ogasawara would be able to win the victory. They planted Ashikaga two leads on Kumai Castle. By then, the morale of the Shinano army would be greatly boosted, and the morale of the defenders in the camp would be greatly defeated. The stronghold annihilated the entire captured army.
"I have been planning for a long time, but I didn't want to fail in the end. I regret that I should have let Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru serve as the vanguard!"
Upon seeing this, Yazawa Yorizuna hurriedly enlightened and said: "Brother, don't be too angry. You should think so. After all, the foundation of Ogasawara Palace's return to Shinano is weak. The eight thousand Shinano army can barely display even half of its strength. In a short period of time, It is indeed difficult to achieve good results after training for a long time, and the person in charge of Kumai Castle is Takeda Nomama, and his subordinates are the Takeda family's elite Takegawa soldiers. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, they are far superior to the Shinano people's army. They lose. It’s reasonable to lose, but it’s an unexpected surprise to win.”
Sanada Yukitaka said angrily: "I understand what you are saying... I also know that Ogasawara Shinano was too eager to guard the palace and rushed five thousand troops into the small and cramped Kumai Castle. Five thousand people were like a squeeze. The glutinous rice balls that were waiting to be cooked together were stewed by Takeda Norigu with a spoonful. I really don’t know what to say about Shinano Shoten. No matter how much the reward is, you have to talk about tactics, right? If we continue to fight like this, our hands and eyes will be It’s hard to win even Tongtian! Give the order to retreat quickly!” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
