Chapter 454: Athletic Warfare
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A roar broke the silence of the night.
"Huh?" Tsu was awakened one by one, and what awaited them was a rain of arrows.
Poof! "Uhh
"Cover! Take cover! The Tsugaru samurai shouted loudly and instructed the ashigaru to find cover.
"Archery! Archery! Keep shooting! Sasa Narumasa hid in the dark, observing the Tsugaru army at all times, and did not imagine the scene of scattering and fleeing, but under the leadership of the samurai, he either hid in the house or leaned against the house wall, so he did not rush out.
"Put out the campfire!" Takahashi Xingjia was also awakened and walked out of a house.
Bang Dang! Bang Dang! The men immediately stepped forward and kicked over the campfire braziers one by one.
After a while, the entire bright Tianmangu Palace instantly fell into darkness.
"Damn! Fall back! Retreat in order! "One blow failed, and Zuo Zuo Chengzheng didn't dare to fight hard, so he had to order the withdrawal of the army.
At this time, in the Tianman Palace, all the troops were hiding in all corners, and they didn't see any more arrows shooting in for a long time.
"The enemy has retreated!" A high-pitched report came from the guard office.
"Takahashi-sama, are you pursuing?" Mitsuhiro Tsumiki opened his mouth to ask Takahashi Kojia on the side.
"Hmm... The night is dark... I was afraid that there would be an ambush, and ordered all armies not to pursue without authorization. "Takahashi Xingjia is very cautious, and it is indeed too risky to pursue at night.
"Yes!" The generals lowered their orders one after another.
Rustle... Tokoji Temple, which is only 2 kilometers north of Tenmangu Shrine, was hurriedly entered by Noto Bei led by Sasa Naimasa, and it turned out that this was their foothold, only a mountain away from the Tsugaru Army.
"How's it going? Did you get it? Miyata Mitsuji came out of the house and asked anxiously.
"No, these people are not ordinary peasant soldiers, but also a group of professionally trained standing guards." Sasa Narumasa shook his head, and through this tentative attack, he also got a lot of useful information.
"What? In addition to the main family, there is also a daimyo who has a standing system? I thought that no one would follow this initiative in a hundred years. Miyata Mitsuji was also taken aback, it seems that if he wants to destroy twice as many enemies as himself, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
"This place will soon be exposed, hurry up and pack your things and retreat immediately, and the sports war has begun!" Sasa Chengzheng's eyes narrowed, since the military literacy is almost the same, it can only be to destroy the enemy little by little in the movement.
"Good! You go first, I'll lead my team! Eat all of you! Miyata Koji nodded, and soon the two were divided. In order to ensure that those with strong combat effectiveness can be prepared, his 500 foot light can only be regarded as the stage of peasant soldiers, and sports warfare is a great test of endurance, and it is impossible for untrained peasant soldiers to complete it.
So... Gecko Tail Break!
As soon as the day dawned, the Tsugaru army rushed to Tokoji Temple, which was too close, and it was found after a little exploration.
"My lord! There was no one in the house! ”
"There's no one here either!" The Tsugaru army rushed into the temple and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, searching for anything suspicious.
Takahashi walked to a house, saw that the window was covered with a piece of linen, and then used a knife to pry, and then ripped it off!
"Takahashi-sama! There was no one in the house, but there was smoke from burning wood inside, so it must have not gone far. Mitsuhiro Tsumiki came out of it and slapped the smell of smoke and earth on his body.
"Hmm... The enemy is very professional, and it must be a place for them to cook. There is no trace of a campfire in the yard, and even the kitchen is darkened and discreet, which is not an ordinary enemy. Takahashi Xingjia's expression was serious, he thought that this battle would go well, but he didn't expect that the enemy also had an elite army like his own.
"That's... Do you need to ask the lord for reinforcements? Mitsuhiro Tsumiki hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"No, this hasn't been a head-to-head battle, so apply to the lord for reinforcements? What's more, our army is twice as large as the enemy, and if this spreads, it won't make other important ministers in the family laugh off their big teeth! Takahashi Xingjia waved his hand, and his tone was very tough.
"Yes, looking at the environment here, they should take the mountain road to the west." Mitsuhiro Mitsuhiro Tsumiki looked around a lot and said with a little affirmation.
Toko-ji Temple is located at the mouth of the valley at the bottom of the mountain, and the mountain road in front of the gate forms a standard hollow-shaped shape, Toko-ji Temple is the mouth in the middle, and the mountain road that enters the hollow is a large V-shape, and the Tsugaru Army enters from the point in the east.
"Well, it should be, according to the situation at the scene, it should have been a short walk, and we didn't meet along the way, so we could only take the mountain road to the west. Pass my orders! Vigilant pursuit! Takahashi recognized Mitsuhiro's judgment and immediately gave the order to pursue.
Stompe... Stompe... The Tsugaru army divided into five teams and began to advance towards the mountain road on the west side in turn.
"Whew... Call... Damn, this Hosokawa army is running too fast, it's all rabbits, right? "Mitsuhiro Tsumi led the vanguard army to a mountain pass, and there was still a cultivated field just after passing by, probably the temple leader. From here, you will be surrounded by towering mountains on both sides, and narrow mountain paths lead nowhere.
"Keep going!" With a wave of his hand, Mitsuhiro Tsumi led 1,000 standing guards into the mountain trail, winding like a long snake.
Whoa... A few small pebbles suddenly slipped down from the top of the mountain.
"Huh?" Mitsuhiro Tsugi looked up at the mountains on both sides, and raised his hand to signal that the army had stopped.
Quiet... It's extraordinarily quiet...
The Tsugaru army looked around on the mountain road, and after staying for a while, they found that there was no more abnormality, and slowly advanced again.
"Whew..."Behind a rock on the top of the mountain, he exhaled softly, there were seven or eight people hidden there, who were already sweating profusely and their hands and feet were cold.
"Bastard... Note... Don't let the enemy find out...", a Hosokawa samurai whispered, and just now one of the peasant soldiers was so nervous that the soles of his feet slipped and rolled down a few small stones.
"It's... This peasant soldier was resigned, he had never seen such a big battle.
"Alright, everyone, cheer up, get ready, wait for the enemy to be halfway through, look at my gestures." As he spoke, the warrior clenched his fists and slowly raised his right hand.
At the same time, in a spacious place like a gourd's belly in front, there was an ambush of a group of Hosokawa troops, none other than Miyata Mitsuji's 500 peasant soldiers.
Stompe... Stompe... Soon, in this mountain, before anyone heard his voice, the Tsugaru army slowly approached the ambush site of Miyata Mitsuji.
"Ready..."The people on the top of the mountain, their hearts were raised in their throats, and they quietly watched the gestures of the leading samurai.
"Falling rocks!" With a loud shout, the mountains shook immediately, accompanied by an earth-shattering rumbling... Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
