Miyoshi Yoshihiro was leading his troops at this moment, rushing out of the camp with torches and chasing Yuqiu's army. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Anzai Fuyang that Yuqiuping seemed to want to loot Sakai Town and then retreat.
We have already launched an attack, requesting Anzhai Fuyang for immediate support.
However, marching at night is dangerous after all, and he is not familiar with the terrain here. Seeing that all the Yuqiu troops have rushed into Sakai Town, he still failed to catch up. Just when Miyoshi Yoshiki was anxious, a
The messenger without a torch suddenly rushed towards him in the dark night, shouting at the same time: "Are they the troops of Young Master Sanhao!"
"Who is it?" The surrounding guards immediately controlled the man with great vigilance. The man did not resist, and stopped very obediently, allowing the guards to search him. After ensuring safety, the guards held him down and sent him over.
.
"Your Highness, I am a subordinate of Boss Imai. I am here to beg Master Miyoshi to save our Sakai Town!" As soon as the messenger came to Miyoshi Yoshihiro, he immediately knelt down and faced him.
Miyoshi Yoshihiro kowtowed heavily, "That Yuqiu Hongye is not a human being! He actually betrayed his trust and suddenly attacked our merchants! Many people have been arrested, and all their goods and money have been looted. Now Yuqiu's army is robbing the national treasury.
!Please, Your Highness, look at the friendship between the Miyoshi family and us Sakai merchants in the past, and come and save us!"
"You have the nerve to say that Yuqiu Hongye is treacherous? What about you businessmen yourselves?" A guard next to Mihaoshi Yixing shouted sharply, "You have no shame, who was it not you who betrayed the Mihaoshi family and defected to the Yuqiu family?
Now you have the nerve to come to the rescue!"
"We Sakai merchants deserve death! It is not a pity to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts! We were blind before and believed in Yuqiu Hongye, but now we understand that the Miyoshi family is the real owner! Boss Imai and others know that they are guilty of serious sins
, that’s why I sent the young man to risk his life to inform His Highness and the Miyoshi family! If Yuqiu Hongye is allowed to rob Sakai Town’s treasury and all the money, food and goods, wouldn’t it cause more trouble for the Miyoshi family members?” That subordinate fired a barrage of attacks.
He spoke in a normal manner while kowtowing on the ground, "The Yuqiu family are loading and moving away Sakai Town's treasury, money, grain and goods. If His Highness is willing to lend a helping hand, I will take His Highness to stop them."
!After the event is completed, all the goods, money and food that were kidnapped by the Yuqiu family’s rebels will be given to the Miyoshi family as an apology. Boss Imai and other bosses will never break their promise!"
"Businessmen are most mercenary and do not keep their word. Do you think I will believe what you say?" Miyoshi Yoshihiro snorted coldly. After hearing this, the subordinate hurriedly kowtowed his head again and kept shouting, "
"Save Sakai Town" and the like. Although Miyoshi Yoshihiro said it hard, he knew in his heart that this subordinate was not lying. Right now, Sakai Town has suffered a disaster. If the Miyoshi Army does not take action, they will be destroyed by Yu Qiuping.
Everything was looted. Unexpectedly, Yu Qiuping actually ignored the good reputation he had accumulated over the past ten years and brazenly attacked Sakai Town, which he had previously cooperated with, for his own treasury and money and food. After taking away these money and goods, Yu Qiuping would retreat.
If he enters Bei Hanoi and holds on, the Sanhao family will probably be unable to do anything against him.
The merchants of Sakai Town were desperate and had to turn to the nearby Miyoshi family for help. Whether Miyoshi Yoshihiro was to defeat the Yuqiu family and regain Hanoi Izumi, or to
In order to obtain astronomical amounts of money, food and goods, robbery is the best option at this moment.
"Lead the way, wait until the dust has settled, and then we will punish you for the crime of treason." Miyoshi Yoshihiro raised his whip and said, "Take us to attack the Yuqiu family's transport convoy." However, the cautious Miyoshi Yoshihiro stayed behind.
Knowing that there might be an ambush from the Yuqiu family nearby, he sent out a large number of scouting horses in all directions.
·
With the guidance of his subordinate, Miyoshi Yoshihiro was able to shuttle freely through the castle town outside Sakai Town, and soon he went around to the east of the city. From a distance, he could see the Yuqiu family's transport fleet carrying a large amount of money and food.
Holding torches, they stretched like fire dragons in the dark night. The farthest ones had already traveled several miles, and there were more convoys that had just left Sakai Town and were crowded on the official road.
"Explore the nearby situation and find out the Yuqiu army. The main force will follow me to attack the convoy immediately!" Miyoshi Yixing made a quick judgment. At the same time, the scouts with torches immediately spread out a huge intelligence network to prevent the dark night.
An army from the Yuqiu Army came to attack.
In night battles, since most Ashigaru of that era had night blindness, they could not move without the help of torches. But with a torch, the first thing that lights up is your surroundings - which makes it easy for the enemy to become a target.
Therefore, when a night battle inevitably breaks out, both sides are usually unwilling to light torches, and would rather not see themselves than take advantage of others. Soldiers on both sides cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the blinding darkness, and they end up fighting haphazardly.
Ended hastily.
Therefore, the Sanhao Army, which was marching with torches, was exposed to the light and had to be careful at all times. Sure enough, their appearance was immediately discovered by the auxiliary troops of the Yuqiu family who were carrying money, grain and goods. In their panic, some people accelerated their advance.
They left in their cars, and more people abandoned their goods, extinguished their torches and fled to the north of the official road.
Just when Miyoshi Yoshihiro's troops rushed to both sides of the convoy, preparing to seize the money, grain and goods and retreat south, the detective horses sent to the east suddenly screamed and galloped towards the team. The alarm was "There is an enemy attack in the east!"
The sound was immediately transmitted layer by layer, and in the dark night, there was a faint army on the plain to the east rushing towards the Three Good Army with torches.
"Extinguish the torches! Don't be a target!" Miyoshi Yoshihiro and the experienced warriors in the Miyoshi Army immediately ordered all the torches to be extinguished. After a while, the Miyoshi Army, which was still full of torches, immediately disappeared into the darkness, leaving only
The sporadic firelight has not been extinguished.
"I came back so quickly, but it's a night battle now, and there's nothing you can do against me." Although Miyoshi Yixing faced the attack, his expression remained unchanged. He knew that the combined strength of the entire Yuqiu family's army was not as large as his.
In the dark, the spear array that the Yuqiu family was proud of failed to perform to its best. On the contrary, the samurai sword was more at home in a chaotic battle. He was not afraid of a night battle at all.
However, just when Miyoshi Yoshihiro was trying to adjust the formation with difficulty in the dark night to prepare for the field battle, suddenly a cry of exclamation came from the queue. Due to people's fear of darkness and the unknown, whether they are marching or camping at night, it is very difficult.
It is easy to cause large-scale chaos and panic. Therefore, after nightfall, it is strictly prohibited to enter any team.
Exclaim and shout to avoid causing confusion.
"What are you doing? How can you make a noise?" Miyoshi Yoshihiro frowned when he heard the shouting and shouted sternly: "Are these Iyo soldiers so ignorant of the rules?"
"No, Your Highness! There is a situation!" A low-level samurai who screamed near Miyoshi Yoshihiro hurriedly squeezed through the crowd towards where Miyoshi Yoshihiro's voice was, wanting to report the situation to Miyoshi Yoshihiro in a low voice. But in the dark night
However, Miyoshi Yoshihiro was nowhere to be found, so he had no choice but to risk causing chaos and shout loudly: "Your Highness! These cars are not loaded with money, food and goods! They are filled with straw, cotton and sulfur underneath!"
The call of the low-level samurai immediately caused chaos, and all the ashigaru of the Miyoshi family hurriedly looked at the carts beside them. In the dark night, they could not see clearly in their haste, but the touch from their fingers and the smell from their noses
My sense of smell can't lie - except for the grain on the surface and a small amount of copper coins and silver taels, the bottom is all sulfur, straw and cotton!
The Miyoshi family's army immediately fell into chaos, and no matter how hard Miyoshi Yoshihiro and the samurai suppressed it, it was of no use. What they were worried about happened almost immediately. With a sharp sound of arrows shooting into the sky, they originally extinguished their torches and fled the official road.
The auxiliary soldiers lit the torches again, ran a few steps towards the Sanhao Army, and then threw hundreds of torches towards the Sanhao Army, densely packed like fireflies. Most of the torches were lost because of the distance.
It was too far and fell on the side of the official road, but dozens of torches still flew into the convoy, causing a fire immediately! The fire spread quickly, and all the cars were set alight one after another! Under the blazing fire, the Sanhao Army was everywhere in embarrassment.
After running away, the car was overturned, flammable materials were scattered on the ground, and the fire spread further.
However, such a fire attack in an open area will not cause many casualties to the Sanhao Army. What really matters is that these lit carts are like automatic torches, illuminating the location of the Sanhao Army and turning them into living creatures.
target.
The iron gunners who originally came from the east, led by Charlie, immediately started shooting at Miyoshi Yoshihiro's headquarters. The fire ignited by a large number of flammable materials almost illuminated a large area, so that the iron gunners could use the light to
The reloading was completed. The Miyoshi Army in the center of the fire was dazzled by the torches in the night. Standing in the light, they couldn't see clearly what was in the darkness - they couldn't even see the position of the iron gunners who were firing.
, let alone fight back, they could only act as targets. People kept falling under the fire of iron cannons, and the roar of iron cannons further aggravated the chaos of the team.
"We've fallen into a trap!" Miyoshi Yoshihiro was in chaos at this moment, and it was impossible to clean up the chaotic troops in the dark. "Where is the guide! Catch that businessman quickly!"
However, when the guards around Miyoshi Yoshihiro tried to capture the guide, they found that he had taken advantage of the chaos to escape in the dark. At this moment, the "guide" Sanada Masayuki was galloping on his horse on the road to a high mountain northeast of Sakai Town.
——That's Yu Qiuping's headquarters, and his heart is filled with complaints about Yu Qiuping.
Chapter completed!
