Chapter Eighty-Four: Nightbreaker Attack
The sky that had been held for three months was alarmed by the smoke rising from Inaba Mountain Castle, and the dark clouds spread out its body and rained like crazy, and the billowing smoke wanted to erode the raindrops, but it was blocked by the holy relics of nature, and at first there was some improvement, and black water droplets fell from the sky as if it were the punishment of the gods. However, the water droplets in the sky resisted the erosion of the gunsmoke, and after nightfall, the rain continued to fall, and gradually the gunpowder smoke dispersed, and the ashes could not be stained with water droplets, and for a time the raindrops disappeared with the smell of smoke, and were replaced by water droplets dyed dark blue by the night spots.
It may be that the killing of this day angered the sky, and the rain did not decrease but increased, which greatly increased the difficulty of the Oda army's reconnaissance, and they had to draw out more soldiers to guard against Mino's sneak attack. You must know that they are generously stationed in Inabayama Castle. A thunderbolt sounded in the air, alarming everyone, the sound of the rain falling and crackling was not pleasant at all, and this sudden thunder and lightning made the people who had been resting in the Oda Army wake up in an instant.
"Thunder at this time?" Guo Jia woke up and stared at the top of the tent suspiciously.
"No, it didn't take long for spring to thunder?" He got up from the bed and straightened his clothes. It stands to reason that rain and thunder are normal in summer and autumn, but what is the situation of the thunder that has just begun in spring!
Guo Jia pinched the root of his nose with his fingers, trying to sober himself up, but thinking of his touch, he smiled helplessly and left his bed. It should be late at night, and it should be coming soon, but unfortunately the rainy night has greatly reduced his hearing and vision, and he doesn't know when Mino's night attack will be launched, but he firmly believes that Mino will definitely launch a surprise attack.
Things in the world are not absolute, and who can say that it is a coincidence? Before Guo Jia could finish thinking about it, the horn of the enemy attack sounded outside, and the sound of the rain did not cover this sound, but amplified it infinitely, and in an instant, the mood of everyone in the Oda Army tightened!
"My lord! It's those miscrumbs of Minono! They appeared at the same time from the main gate and the Inabayama castle tower! "It was Shibata Katsuya who rushed into the tent, he didn't rest tonight, and when he heard that Mino had a great possibility of a surprise attack, he tensed his nerves and kept himself awake all night!
"Tell me more about it!" Guo Jiateng stood up, walked forward quickly, and walked out of the tent, saying Cao Cao Cao has arrived!
"The vision is too poor to see clearly, but there are nearly 3,000 soldiers who came out of the Inabayama castle tower, and all of us are stationed in the inner castle, and there are no people stationed in the wind volcanic forest, if nothing else, it is them. And the spies at the main entrance came to report that they could vaguely see the crowd moving towards here. Shibata Katsuya caught up with Guo Jia and wanted to find something to keep him out of the rain.
"It's fine! You return to the location of the fire regiment and tell them to go and garrison at the main gate of Inaba Mountain now, unless it is an unarmed civilian, and the others will kill one of them when they see one! I'm going to the mountain group now, move faster! Guo Jia ordered to get on his horse and leave at the door immediately.
Who will come to Inabayama Castle at this time, the civilians have already fled, and they will come back in the rain when it rains so hard? Impossible! So the soldiers observed at the main gate are definitely Minong's enemy attack! And the soldiers who came out of the castle tower are undoubtedly the Mino Army!
"I really don't know what this idiot Saito Yoshiryu thinks, this kind of weather hits us at night! Neurotic! Guo Jia scolded secretly, regardless of the fall of the heavy rain, and came to the place where the mountain regiment was stationed.
At this time, the soldiers of the mountain regiment were already ready to go, standing here in unison, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
"Excellent! What about Hidetaka Kawajiri? Guo Jia saw this situation and said appreciatively. His very good sentence is to praise Kawajiri Hidetaka's behavior, and when it rains at night, he is the first to send troops to see the situation at all, and waiting in place is the best defense.
"Master Guo Jia? Hidetaka-sama is in front of the battle! The soldier who was called by Guo Jia saw the person and immediately replied.
"Drive!" With a shout, Guo Jia instantly walked forward.
"Hidetaka Kawajiri!"
"Huh? Master Guo Jia, why are you here? Hearing the call, Kawajiri Hidetaka immediately turned around and looked at the comer with his hands to block the rain.
"How's it going?" Guo Jia didn't talk nonsense and hurriedly asked about the current situation.
"It's okay, Mino's army is probably only about three thousand, and most of them are still assembled from the Inabayama Castle Tower, so it will take time to attack it." Kawajiri Hidetaka's tone was relaxed, to be honest, the three thousand people wanted to break through the mountain group defense or be a little tender.
"Listen, there are also enemy troops on the side of the main gate of Mt. Inaba, and the fire regiment has been transferred. What can you contribute here? Guo Jia nodded and asked.
"Sir, are you underestimating us? With only 3,000 soldiers, let alone breaking through our defenses, it is a question whether they will be able to return alive! Hidetaka Kawajiri said loudly, confident is such a performance.
"That's what you said! If you can't do it, you know what to do! By the way, what about wheals? Didn't come? Guo Jia looked around and didn't notice the arrival of Maeda's Toshiya.
"I don't know, I shouldn't have it. And in this kind of weather, their cavalry is coming, and there is a fart! Hidetaka Kawajiri looked at his mountain group proudly and said bluntly.
"This damn fellow! I'm going to the Wheal Station! With that, Guo Jia immediately turned his horse's head and moved towards the position of the wheal in his memory.
In his opinion, Saito Yoshiryu's surprise attack was a farce of the clowns who jumped off the beams, and the position of the archers was almost completely useless in such a low visibility situation, but the soldiers they gathered from their secret passages were only a little bit, and it was really a fool's dream to break through the defense of the mountain regiment! However, what worries Guo Jia is not this, but the Meinong army assembled at the main gate. What was reported over there was only a shadow, and there was no detail at all, and besides, it was the fire regiment that had been tired for a day defending them, and the cavalry team of the same wind regiment was almost half useless in this case.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if this Mino is the whole army attacking them? What if there are still unknown teams that sneak in and want to destroy their food and grass? These conditions are unknown.
"Toshiya Maeda! Where is Toshiya Maeda? The noise from the rainstorm couldn't stop Guo Jia's roar, and Maeda Toshiya, who received the message in an instant, followed the sound to Guo Jia's side.
"Lord Guo Jia, the minister is here!" Respectfully greet and wait for Guo Jia's next order.
"Bastard, what are you wheals doing! Did you hear that the enemy attack did not assemble to the position of the mountain regiment! Guo Jia was trembling with anger, at this time, the wind volcano forest had dropped its chain!
"But my lord, we ...... this weather" Maeda Toshiya was about to retort, but was stunned by Guo Jia's expression.
"Bastards, a bunch of rice buckets! You won't fight without the horse? Have your legs been cut off? "Guo Jia is really angry, the Lin Tuan people don't have the configuration of melee weapons and the bows and arrows are exhausted, the iron cannon is useless, of course, they don't have to fight, but the wind wreath is different, they have the corresponding armor and weapons.
"Let your people get their ass off the bed for me! Carry a saber and let me go to the main gate of Mt. Inaba to assist in the garrison of the fire regiment! Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, pointed at Maeda Toshiya's nose and yelled.
"Yes!" Maeda Toshiya figured out that he was indeed suspected of avoiding war, and he didn't dare to refute Guo Jia because he was at a loss, so he had to stand firmly.
"Move fast! Don't put it on the table! Looking at this, Guo Jia was also angry and silent.
The rain continued unabated, and the first attack of the Mino army began, and it was the 3,000 soldiers in Inabayama Castle who moved.
"Takigawa Kazuki, do you have the latest mine group information?" It's getting late, and the Ray Regiment should have already begun to attack the city.
"There is only one, the Thunder Regiment just captured a city not long ago, it is the one next to Qingzhou, and now it is going deep into Minong, the march route should be from east to west, and there are about four cities on the way!" Takigawa Kazuyi said and suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something.
"Don't stop!" Guo Jia is upset now, and he is afraid of this kind of person who says half and leaves half.
"The news of the Lei Regiment is gone, but the spies of Inuyama Castle have discovered the whereabouts of the Takenaka Hanbei, and he arrived at Inuyama and was intercepted by the rain and stayed at the inn." Takigawa Kazuyi didn't know if this news, which had nothing to do with the battle situation, would anger Guo Jia.
"Oh? Inuyama? Let people continue to watch. Urge the Thunder Group, if you don't come to Inabayama Castle within three days, I'm not done with them! After Guo Jia finished speaking, he thought about it in his heart, and he was still ready to come to the mountain group to check the battle situation.
And the soldiers of the mountain regiment on this side have already made contact with the Mino army and are fighting. The black-dyed armor of the Dark Mountain Regiment allowed them to blend in with this world, and an invisible black wall stood in the way of the Mino Army.
And they were blocked by a black wall, and everyone who came was cut off, and they saw a low wall in front of them that was one person high, but they didn't know why this low wall could move and fight on its own, and soldiers fell here. It wasn't until a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky that they saw that it wasn't a low wall at all, but a living person.
As steel as insurmountable and unkillable as steel!
"This! This is the immovable mountain of the Oda army? ”
"Nonsense, isn't this immovable mountain dead?"
"Why did Lord Yilong lie to us! How could a mountain of immobility survive that kind of explosion? ”
Mino's soldiers were timid, and they received the news that Saito Yoshiryu had designed to blow up the strongest army of the Oda army with gunpowder bombs in the middle of Inabayama Castle, and there was no trace of it in the first surprise attack on the Oda army. Therefore, this group of soldiers who volunteered for merit sneaked in from the secret passage of the Inabashan castle tower to break through the camp of the Oda army in one fell swoop and take off Guo Jia's head.
It's a pity that they thought wrong, and Saito Yoshiryu also thought wrong. You must know that Guo Jia defeated the Takenaka Half-Guards when talking about the army on paper, and the Half-Guards lost in a mess. At this time, how could the plan left by the Takenaka half-guards deceive Guo Jia!
"Shantuan, don't fall in love, get rid of them for me! Not a single one to stay! After Guo Jia came here, he saw the situation clearly, and immediately prepared to release cruel words to make Shan Tuan Liwei, and at the same time, he also wanted to tell Saito Yoshiryu that his plan was seen through.
"Hahahaha! Did the little ones hear that? Master Guo Jia has given a death order! If we don't leave any of them, if we run away, our military pay will be gone! Hidetaka Kawajiri became excited, and this was the second battle of the Yama Regiment in three years.
"Kill!" The sky-high killing intent was like a biting cold wind, impacting the body of the Mino soldiers.
