Chapter 20 Suppressing Thieves by Scheme
After listening to Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words, Burning Sky looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi's questioning expression, so he had to bow his head to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and say, "Obey orders!" Then sit down at the end of your seat again, and wait for Kinoshita Hideyoshi to continue. However, after Kinoshita Hideyoshi gave the order to burn the sky, he dismissed the samurai.
Burning Sky lowered his head and thought about how to distribute the already small number of soldiers, and suddenly the half-guards in Takenaka behind him caught up with Burning Sky and said: "Mingshamen, tomorrow I will bring the soldiers to meet you, and I can discuss the thieves?" After hearing this, Burning Sky was stunned for a moment, when did the Takenaka half-guards already call themselves "Mingshamen".
Before he could reply, the half-guards of Takenaka had already walked towards their house. Burning Sky looked at the back of the half-soldier of Takenaka, and his mind was confused, what did the half-soldier of Takenaka call himself for? At this time, Fushiwa Meijiro and Akeyama came to Burning Sky and asked Burning Sky, "What did Kinoshita-sama say?" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a wry smile: "Kinoshita-sama ordered us to exterminate the bandits, and at the same time, we must also take care of the construction of the bandits. After hearing this, Mingshan said to the burning sky: "Senior brother, I can't wait for fifty people, how can I take care of both?" Fushiwa Mingjiro also asked at the burning sky: "My lord, although we have defeated the bandits, but we can defeat the bandits, thinking about the right time and place, now the bandits have retreated to the deep mountains, we have lost the land, if we forcibly suppress the thieves, I am afraid that both will lose." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky just said, "Lord Takenaka will lead the samurai Ashigaru to support us and others." With that, he walked down the mountain, and Akiyama and Fushiwa Akijiro hurriedly followed.
The people spent the night in a temporary wooden hut, and as soon as the morning dawned, the burning of the sky gathered the people together. Burning Sky ordered the Kaima Yoshiya to lead twenty peasant soldiers and nine carpenters to take charge of the construction of the barrage, while he took the rest of the people to wait to join the Takenaka Hanbei. After hearing this, the Haima Yijia bowed his head to the burning sky and said, "My lord, I am responsible for the construction of the bar, and I will not disappoint my lord." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky nodded, and led everyone to Hengshan Castle to wait for the half-guards in Takenaka. After a short time, the gate of Yokoyama Castle was gradually opened, and Takenaka Hanbei walked out of Yokoyama Castle with fifty Ashigaru and a few of his own samurai retainers. When he saw it, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to the half-guards of Takenaka and said, "I've seen Lord Takenaka!" ”
After hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka said to the burning sky: "I'll talk about it while we go." With that, he walked forward, and after hearing this, he hurriedly followed.
The half-soldier guard in Takenaka, who had been silent for a long time on the road, suddenly said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, do you have any clever plan to exterminate the bandits?" After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately replied: "I am stupid, and I don't have a good plan, and I hope that Lord Takenaka will give advice." ”
After hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka said with a smile: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for you to hide your clumsiness in Mingshamen, let's talk about it, what is the clever plan." With that, the half-guard of Takenaka raised his hand to the people behind him, and everyone stopped when they saw it.
After seeing this, he thought for a moment, and then said to the half-guard of Takenaka: "I thought that a joint battle would break out between the main family and Asai at any time, and we should not attack it, but we can be wise..."
Burning Sky was about to go down, when Takenaka Half-Soldier suddenly said to Burning Sky: "There is no need to speak at length, just say the essence of the strategy." ”
Burning Sky was stunned for a moment, and then said to the half-guards of Takenaka: "Lure the enemy deep and wrap it in a bag." ”
Takenaka Hanbei was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Is this the Shimazu family's 'fishing and wild ambush' technique?" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky replied with a smile: "It's my Mingguo's 'pocket array'." ”
After hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka did not refute, but seriously asked at the burning sky, "Are you ready to lure the enemy?" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky looked at the Takenaka half-soldier who pressed the sword in his hand and said, "On the day I left the Oda family, I already had the heart of death!" ”
Then Takenaka Hanbei and Burning Sky greeted his men Ashigaru and advanced towards the hill with confidence, because Fushiwa Akijiro had already discovered the location of the bandit yesterday, so everyone was led by Fushiwa Akijiro to the hill. The Takenaka half-guard tied his horse to the bottom of the hill and stationed a peasant soldier who had come with the burning sky to garrison it, and ordered: "If I wait until dark, you can ride back to Yokoyama Castle and ask for reinforcements." ”
Under the leadership of Fushiwa Akijiro, everyone gradually saw the bandits hidden in the depths of the hill. Less than 300 meters away from the bandits, Yakora took Fushiwa Akijiro and ten standing guards to lure the bandits, while Takenaka Hanbei arranged his fifty full light samurai and the remaining men of Akiyama and Burning Sky into a pocket formation.
Burning Sky and his party stopped at a distance of fifty meters from the bandits, and then swaggered out and shouted at the bandits: "The samurai of the Shimooda family, I have been ordered to come to crusade against Vaer and others, if you know the current affairs, quickly open the door and surrender, and then you can also advise Kinoshita-sama not to kill you." ”
Burning the sky shouted in the empty deep mountains, and the thieves who had already seen the burning sky immediately ran towards the middle of the bar. After a while, a bandit who looked like a leader came to the wall and shouted at the burning sky: "Your Excellency's opinion, I will consider it carefully in the future..." Then he shouted to the burning sky: "Is this all your Excellency has brought with you? ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky deliberately raised his toes and said to the bandit leader: "You wait for the remnants of the army to be defeated, and I will lead eleven people, and you can take them." ”
When the bandit leader heard this, he shouted to his men, "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot this group of red deer who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth (ばか)! With that, he picked up the longbow in front of him and shot it at Burning Sky and the others.
Seeing this, Burning Sky said to everyone: "Hide behind a tree!" With that, he hid behind the tree and shouted to the bandit leader: "Now surrender to us, but spare your death, or your head may not be saved!" ”
After the bandit shot it, it was found that it did not deal any effective damage to the Burning Sky group. Then the bandit leader was taunted by the Burning Sky again, and immediately exploded, ordered his subordinates to open the gate, and rushed towards the Burning Sky with his subordinates roaring.
Burning Sky rushed up and fought a few tricks with the bandit leader, and then pretended to be defeated. After the public standing plan worked together to kill a few thieves who rushed to the front, they began to retreat to the back, and after Fushiwa Akijiro beheaded three people in a row, he was dragged backwards by the burning air. Burning Sky taunted the bandit leader while carrying the naginata, and lured the bandits into the pocket array of the half-guards in Takenaka.
Then Takenaka Hanbei gave an order, and the ambushed samurai and ashigaru rushed out of the nearby bushes. Burning Sky and Fushiwa Akijiro also stepped forward again, and the bandit leader realized that the situation was wrong, and just as he was about to shout for the bandits to retreat, he was already slashed to the ground by Burning Sky. The bandits who followed were immediately divided and surrounded, and after some fighting, most of the bandits had been killed, and only a few of the bandits took the opportunity to escape back to the fortress.
