Chapter 613 Raise the prestige of our army
Two days later, the Takayama family banners had all returned to Matsukura City, and it was time to meet those little wealthy families.
Those wealthy family heads waited for four days in Matsukura City, although the time was not too long, but in their eyes, these four days were longer than four years, and before coming to Matsukura City again, they thought that even if the Gaoshan clan did not go out of the city to meet in person, they would treat themselves warmly, after all, the Gaoshan family and Ji Xiaolu's family fought, and they did not go out of the army after receiving Ji Xiaolu's order, so it was equivalent to greatly relieving the pressure of the Gaoshan army, which can be regarded as a credit, although it is not a great achievement, However, there is no problem in keeping the land under his rule.
However, after these four days of waiting, their sweet dream has completely turned into a nightmare, they know that the Dao Gaoshan Clan Sect is currently in Gaoshan City, not to mention the hospitality, he has not even shown his face in these four days, does he want to be unfavorable to his family?
The more the four wealthy clan heads thought about it, the more scared they became, but no one dared to leave, if the Gaoshan clan really wanted to deal with themselves, then their own departure would be equivalent to giving the other party an excuse to attack, so these four days were spent in anxious waiting.
When the four of them got together and didn't know what to discuss, I saw a Gao Shan family flag walking in quickly, and said in a respectful tone: "Four adults, my lord has an invitation." ”
"Takayama-sama is finally willing to see us?" Kawaguchi Yoritsuna finally breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, no matter what, as long as Takayama-sama is willing to see him, it means that he has no intention of harming him, otherwise I am afraid that what he sees will be a sharp blade.
However, when they got out, they found that the flag head of the guide was not heading in the direction of the castle tower, but towards the bottom of the mountain, which made the four heads of the wealthy clan raise their hearts to their throats, only to hear the Matsuda clan quickly ask, "Where are we going?" ”
"Back to my lordship, my lord is now in the training ground, please hurry up, if you let the lord wait for a long time. It's hard to explain in the next place. ”
After listening to this, the four of them were relieved.
In the training ground, each army of the Takayama family Ashigaru was lined up as a phalanx, and the Takayama clan was sitting on the high platform in front of them. There were also several retainers standing beside him.
"See Tayama-sama in the lower class. The inferior people are willing to pledge their allegiance to Takayama-sama, and they also ask Takayama-sama to include them. As soon as the four of them approached the training ground, they quickly ran to the clan and saluted respectfully.
I saw the clan stand up and walk in front of the four of him with a smile, but he didn't respond to them, but said, "This family has just obtained this place not long ago. In the past few days, the clan has been busy with official business, and it is really neglecting a few adults, and I ask the four adults not to be embarrassed. ”
"The subordinates don't dare, the lord is so diligent, the Gaoshan family will prosper for a long time." Although the Takayama clan still wanted to agree to them becoming vassals, they couldn't help but show their attitude.
And the Gaoshan Clan didn't say much, they could call it whatever they wanted, and it wouldn't affect their own hands at all.
"Today, our Gaoshan Army is here to reorganize its military strength. The four of you will watch with me. I only heard the clan speak again.
"Since the lord has an order, his subordinates are obedient." The four of them were pleasantly surprised by the invitation of the lord, who was able to let the four of them watch the training of the mountain army together. This proves that the lord still trusts himself, and everyone in the world says that the elite of the mountain army can be blessed with an eye today.
Although it is not very formal to summon himself here, but it is also close, isn't this the result he wants, and while speaking, the four of them have already stood behind the Gaoshan clan with other retainers.
"It's time to go." I only heard the clan say lightly to Hikoemon beside him. …,
"The Lord has an order, the drill begins!"
When Hikoemon finished shouting with his neck pulled, he saw that the military momentum in the training ground immediately retreated. Although it was only a retreat, but this alone was enough to shock the four masters of the wealthy family, there were nearly 1,500 people in the audience, but their steps were so neat, in their eyes, each phalanx seemed to be a whole.
The troops under their command are not to mention neatly advancing and retreating. Even if it is lined up in such a neat formation, it will take a long time, and as long as it moves, it will be scattered again, but this is just the beginning, the ashigaru people retreated just to open the field, when they just stopped, I saw a samurai wearing red armor shouting, and then, two hundred people with ghost heads turned into pockets, wearing red flags that are full of the world, walked to the center of the training ground and began to practice.
The swords in their hands were danced by tigers and tigers, and the shouts that came out of their mouths from time to time were even more earth-shattering. Although the number of people is not too large, judging from the momentum exuded from them, this army is definitely baptized from the flames of war after countless battles.
The time for the fine armor to appear was not very long, less than a pillar of incense, they took the stand and retreated to the side, and as soon as they retreated, the scimitar wearing the golden helmet and gold armor took their place, seeing the scimitar in their hands flying up and down, the four family heads only felt frightened, if they fought against such a military situation, even if the family had several times the military strength, it could not be the opponent of the army in front of them.
Although there were only 200 of them, watching them move neatly and neatly, their faces were full of perseverance, they couldn't help but feel lucky, they all thought that it was fortunate that they didn't go out to help Ji Xiaolu's family at the beginning, otherwise, they didn't need to ask and knew that their families would definitely accompany them to the funeral.
And after the scimitar ashigaru practice, he did not immediately retreat, at this time Watanabe Shoutsuna led two hundred fine armor ashigaru back to the center, and the two armies began to practice, the knife in their hands is not a wooden knife or a wooden sword, but a real killing weapon, but such a sparring, they are not once or twice, they have long been familiar with it, they are all according to the routine, as long as the mind is concentrated, it is difficult to get hurt.
The four masters of the wealthy family didn't know what to say, although this pair of exercises looked like the two armies were fighting, but it was also watching the excitement, and the ashigaru people didn't use all their strength at all, but when they saw the two armies training, they still began to get nervous, and unconsciously clenched their fists, they didn't use this place as a training ground at all, but a battlefield.
Although they took over the spear ashigaru, there was nothing unusual about the training of the new writing group, and they were shocked by the respect of the iron cannon ashigaru, but when they watched the sparring between the fine armor ashigaru and the scimitar ashigaru, they were not surprised.
But with the entry of Shigeto Bowshigaru, their hearts that had just calmed down suddenly rose again, just now due to the distance, they didn't pay much attention, so they thought that the weapon in the hands of this hundred-person bow-footlight team was just an ordinary bamboo bow, but when they came to the center, they found that whether it was the samurai in the lead, or the hundred ashigaru behind him, the longbow in his hand was not a bamboo bow at all, it was ......
Just as they were thinking about what kind of bow it was, Tadamasa Omura suddenly blurted out: "That's a heavy rattan bow, yes, it's definitely a heavy rattan bow." ”
Although the bow in the hands of the hundred ashigaru was much more gorgeous in appearance than the ordinary heavy rattan bow, the structure was unchanged, so Omura Tadamasa said its name after thinking about it, and the remaining three wealthy clan heads also thought of the heavy rattan bow just now, but this thought flashed, and they didn't believe that there would be a hundred heavy rattan bow team in the Takayama family at all. …,
How difficult is it to operate the heavy rattan bow The four of them as samurai still know the way, not to mention the ashigaru, even the samurai have a lot of them that can't be pulled at all, and this is not the end of the matter, the purpose of pulling him apart is to shoot the arrow out of the bow accurately, in this way, there are fewer samurai who can do it, among the four of them, one of them can't even pull the heavy rattan bow, although two people can pull it away, but it's just not strong, if you want to shoot arrows with this bow, it's not okay, only one person can barely use this bow, But now standing in front of them is only Ashigaru, which makes them full of anticipation for the next drill, and at the same time full of shock.
When the heavy vine bow and ashigaru were in place, I saw the clan beckoning.
Seeing that the lord had something to order, Dagong Jinglian hurriedly came to the front, saluted and said, "My subordinates are here, please ask the lord to command." ”
I only heard the clan sect say lightly: "Well, today I want to test the combat strength of the Shigeto Bow Team, there is no need to have a private collection, and I will show all the strength of the Shito Bow Team." ”
"It's the lord." After speaking, I saw Omiya Jingren stand up and return to the side of the team, but he did not give the order to shoot, but whispered a few words to several heavy vine bows, and then saw several of them put the heavy vine bow on their backs and walked forward quickly.
It wasn't until they reached seventy meters away that they stopped, and several heavy vines drew their arrows from the quiver, and soon they drew a two-meter square area on the ground, and when they saw that the commander nodded, they retreated.
"Heavy vine bow foot listen lightly, today the lord wants to test your combat strength, if anyone embarrasses me, then give me a heavy vine bow sequence. Listen to the command, the target is in front of the drawn area, throw! As soon as Dagong Jinglian's voice fell, he only heard the sound of swishing one after another, and hundreds of sharp arrows dragged out to draw a beautiful arc in the sky, and turned his head to see that the two-meter square land that was drawn out had been filled with sharp arrows, and then looked around, it was still empty, and no one missed it.
"It's... How is this possible. Tadamasa Omura rubbed his eyes vigorously and said to himself in disbelief.
The other three Hao clan heads were so shocked that they couldn't even speak, and their expressions formed a contrast with the warriors of the Takayama family around them. (To be continued.)
