78. The order of sniping

After more than seven hours of marching, the Youzo religious men and horses gradually approached the edge of the plain.

"It's finally here...... "The heart he had been hanging on finally returned to his stomach." After passing through the Rabbit Leaf Valley in front and walking for more than ten miles, you will arrive at the ebony city, I don't know if Danxia Sheng knows that the old guy has escaped! "Although the thing has been done, Yuzo Nobu is still a little worried about the matter of defeating Hatakeyama Takamasa. After all, the Hatakeyama family is one of the hereditary three leaders of the Ashikaga clan, and although they no longer have any strength, they still have a certain influence in the shogunate and the imperial court, and even Ashikaga Yoshiaki probably does not dare to publicly declare his support for him to kill Hatakeyama Takamasa at this time.

To say that this matter was not so difficult, he originally planned to help that Kikuchiyo into a puppet, and then give Hatakeyama Takamasa a "violent illness" to be over. But what I didn't expect was that Lao Tzu hadn't moved here, and the kid there was lost first, which disrupted his overall plan all of a sudden! Fortunately, the killing of Hatakeyama Takamasa was secretly carried out when he was escaping, and the outside world didn't know at this time, which somewhat relieved him of a little pressure. "I hope that this old fellow Danxia will not run away, as long as he is caught, he can be charged with killing the master, and then everything will be completed!"

"Returning to the lord...... one of the heralds of the front team rode back on horseback. The general of the forward department, Lord Kobayashi, ordered me to come and ask for instructions: It's almost noon, do you want to rest and eat? ”

"Well...... "You Zuo Shinjiao thought for a moment and asked, "Where have you arrived in front?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are two miles to the Rabbit Leaf Valley!"

Yuzo Shinkyo looked at it on his horse, and the layers of mountains were indeed close in front of him. "Don't stop, keep going! After passing through the Rabbit Leaf Valley, walk for another hour, repair your meal in the afternoon, and attack the rebels in the evening! ”

"Yes!" The herald agreed, and with a sound of his horse he left.

"I will be mine to destroy this rabble of people in Tanxia, and if I help His Royal Highness the General and the Miyoshi family to solve the Zhuxing Qing clan in Ruojiang, I am afraid that the protection of the entire Hanoi will be mine......" You Zuo began to be proud, but even then he didn't dare to think about fighting north. Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt the earth tremble. "What's going on?" The powerful shockwave seemed to be coming from behind, and he turned his head strangely.

"Oh my God!" Just as it was not only Yuzo who turned back, he was not the only one who exclaimed.

In their field of vision, on the horizon in the far reaches of the plain, a large black dot of activity appeared. The black dots moved so quickly that many people came to a distance of less than a kilometer while they were still flutes. By this time everyone had already seen what it was, a cavalry! A heavy armored cavalry!

About 700 meters away, the cavalry stopped, and those behind kept catching up and lined up on both sides of the line, as it turned out that they were trying to straighten out the ranks. By this time, all of them had been able to see the outfits of these cavalrymen, which was a nightmare in the hearts of many of them.

The tall horses were draped in heavy horse armor, and the tight queue made the bright silver armor on the front look like a steel wall. The knights on horseback were all dressed in black starry leather armor similar to the horse's armor, and the half-covered visor on the black iron helmet made them look even more hideous, and the scimitars, shields, and short spears behind them shone brightly in the near-afternoon sun, indicating their identity.

"Stars Armor Ride!" Yuzo Nobu gasped on his horse. "Why are they here?" His head was spinning rapidly, but it was clear that this was not the time to think about it.

A few simple orders sounded from the group of cavalry in the distance, and the long queue of Kandarich began to run, and the cavalry ran faster and faster, and the trembling of the earth became more and more obvious.

"The cavalry dragged them, and the other troops quickly entered the Rabbit Leaf Valley!" Time was already urgent, and You Zuo Sect gritted his teeth and made the most "correct" decision. His troops are too late to form a formation at this moment, and even if they do, whether it will work is between two words. Although he had never seen it, he had heard of this cavalry, and the situation of the Great Barrier and Jubu Town was widely spread in the area. At this moment, he only had to spare these 200 cavalry troops to hold back this group of "evil stars", as long as the whole army entered the mountains, he would be considered undefeated.

"Rush!" Despite the great fear in their hearts, the cavalry unit carried out the order and rushed with deep terror to their counterparts of different ranks on the opposite side. The infantry quickened their pace, sprinting almost at the speed of their flight, and the lower samurai barely managed to maintain their formation.

You Zuo turned his head back, and the scene in front of him made him tremble. His 200 cavalry rushed towards the enemy in a conical attack formation, and theoretically a single platoon formation was very easy to break through, but there was an exception to everything, and the "fist" that was originally clenched by the "palm" was shattered on the reef like a wave. The 30 or so people who rushed to the front were either cut off their horses or the people who were hit turned on their backs, and the momentum of the impact of the troops behind was stopped, and more than 100 people and horses made circles in place in a panic. The enemy troops on both sides suddenly increased their speed and flew from both wings, but in the blink of an eye, their own cavalry was wrapped in it, and for a while, swords and swords flew, and a massacre began!

"Zhuxing Qing Clan! I don't share the heavens with you! Yusa Shinko's lip bit blood. According to his estimates, the Zhuxing Qing clan somehow learned the news and sent troops to South Hanoi to "pick up the bargain", but due to the short time, only the cavalry arrived in advance, and the other troops were left behind. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you lose Gaoya City! As long as I and the Jijiao join forces to defend the black-hat-shaped city, as long as I stick your troops in Nanheoi, within ten days Miyoshi and His Highness Matsunaga will send troops to Wakajiang, and then I will see how your Zhuxing Qing clan died! ”

At this time, the Star Armor Cavalry had completed the encirclement and annihilation of the Youzuo cavalry, and once again spread out their formation and chased after the fleeing infantry. "Quick! Speed up again! "Yusa's religion and other generals continued to urge loudly in unison, and in the face of the fear of death, the Ashigaru could no longer care about any discipline and ran wildly, and the formation of Yusa's infantry was completely scattered!

"Kill!" First, the speed of the infantry could not compare to the cavalry, and secondly, the 200 cavalry of the Yuzuo religion insisted for too short, and the star armor cavalry at the mouth of the rabbit leaf valley finally caught up with Yusa Ashigaru. After the first flash of the sword, dozens of heads jumped and rolled on the ground, and as many as two hundred people were trampled to death by the war horses.

Due to the narrowness of the valley mouth, more than 2,000 people of Yusa Shinkoshi were blocked, and some of the ashigaru had to fight reflexively under the orders of the samurai, but the spears trembled in their hands. Most of these crooked bamboo spears were slashed by the swept Xue Liang scimitar before they could get close to their targets, and many of their owners did not escape the same fate.

Although the fierce battle at Taniguchi could not change the course of the battle, the narrow terrain bought more time for Yusa's religion. About 15 minutes later, Yuzo Nobu led more than 1,200 people to flee into the Rabbit Leaf Valley, leaving behind about 400 corpses and more captives who surrendered to the other side at the mouth of the valley.

"I finally escaped the catastrophe, as long as I arrived in the Ebony City!" Yuzuo Shinko, who was out of danger, just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when a commotion and exclamation came from the front again. "What's going on!" Following the guidance of the attendant, he saw a row of well-groomed antlers in the valley in front of him, and behind him were rows of soldiers who were waiting to carry the flag of "Zhuxing Maru" on their backs.

*****************************************************************

The mountains are covered with dense forests, but the leaves are a little sparse because of the late autumn, but the branches still block the view. There is only one road in the valley, and the width of more than two zhang is definitely not simple in this mountain. It's just that there are more than 1,000 people left in Youzuo's religious people, and all of them are spread on this distance of only more than 100 meters, which seems a little too crowded!

The soldiers guarding behind the antlers were 2,000 spearmen and archers led by Shima Katsutake, Ko'er Sezo, and Nagano Yosei, respectively, and the Yusa army was no match for them, even without the help of fortifications. In fact, the lively Ke'er Caizang once made such a request to me, and he has always been yearning and jealous that Keiji Maeda can slash and kill like that. But after thinking about it again, I still vetoed his proposal, anyway, it is the best policy to destroy the enemy at the lowest cost, if you can get the corresponding benefits, I actually do not advocate that you must fight, the soldier saint and his old man have said: the soldier who surrenders without a fight, the good is also good! I hope Ke'er Caizang understands such a profound truth, but I'm afraid that I won't think about it in this life, and he keeps waving the banner of asking me to fight.

I was sitting under a large tree on the hillside, and I didn't fly the flag so as not to expose my target. More than 100 soldiers around me were on guard, and Shinhachiro stood behind me and slammed the ground with the barrel of the "Shura's Fury" from time to time, and a dirt pit was gradually increasing in depth.

"I'm in a hurry!" I asked without looking back.

"Of course!" I could hear the obvious agitation in his tone. "Now that you are just a fish in a net, I really don't understand what else to wait for! Even if we don't use iron artillery reserves, we can win a complete victory, but Lord Ke'er can solve the problem on their own. If this is the Shin Sho Hall, ...... here."

"Even if the Shin Castle is here, I'm afraid it won't be any different from me!" I took the Tai Chi Tuan military fan in my hand and slapped it twice in front of me, although the weather at this time was completely unnecessary, but I still liked the feeling of this "lupine scarf". "Iron cannons will be used, in due time! This is neither because I am cowardly, nor because I want to increase the casualties of the enemy. Instead, I want to keep as many people alive as possible, but ...... I want them to be afraid of the might of our army! ”

"And what is this for?" Shinhachiro asked, puzzled.
