Chapter 173 is to make your food unstable

"A salvo!" Yoyuki's command soon reached everyone's ears. The delicate pulley bow was effortlessly pulled into a full moon, and after a buzzing sound, countless bows and arrows flew into the sky.

Wasuka Zhizhen clutched the wound on his shoulder and looked into the air through gritted teeth. Lately there seemed to be a flock of sparrows skimming the sky, chirping louder and louder, and by the time he finally saw those things clearly, no matter what orders he had, it was too late.

The more shrewd soldiers also knew that if the shield was held high above their heads, some samurai who could not react could only be shot into hedgehogs by falling bows and arrows. Yamada Soden desperately risked his own injury, and also raised the shield in his hand in front of Wasuka Zhizhen, which saved the lord from the disaster. And on his own shoulder, there was an extra bow and arrow.

When they peeked out of their shields, the surrounding warriors were drowned out by wails. The two looked up, but they didn't find any enemies around, only in the distance, they found a lush wood.

"Is it a bow and arrow shot from the woods?" Yamada Soden asked with some confusion. The reason why he had such doubts was also because the distance between the woods and them had exceeded the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

Wasuka did not receive any information about Koning from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In fact, this should be regarded as an oversight on the part of Tokugawa Ieyasu, knowing that Kangning's palmistry had already participated in this war as a mercenary, he should have taken precautions against them in advance, at least he should train his subordinates not to blindly pursue, so as not to be ambushed by the opponent's archers.

And the current situation, if it reaches Tokugawa Ieyasu, it must be regretted by him. An oversight that could have been completely avoided. Now it has become the main culprit of the loss of troops.

Wasuka Zhizhen, who still lacked understanding of the enemy, could only look at the sky with puzzled eyes with his henchmen and his confidants, and suddenly there was another buzzing noise, and there seemed to be another group of sparrows flying in the sky. This time the two of them learned much more shrewdly in their spare time, and immediately raised their shields above their heads when the voice came.

Most of the surrounding samurai chose the same way. The number of injuries this time was much lower than the last time. Soden Yamada seemed to see an opportunity to fight back, and he ordered his men to form a shield formation, hunched over and carrying the shield towards the opposite woods.

In his opinion, all archers are not good at hand-to-hand combat, as long as they can reach a close enough distance, the victory in this battle belongs to them.

There was another buzzing noise, but as few of the samurai were injured this time, only a few were knocked to the ground by bows and arrows that pierced through the gaps in their shields. But soon there were people with their own shields and filled their vacancies.

Yamada Soden was already getting closer and closer to the woods, and if he was given some more time, he would be able to cut off the heads of the generals who had designed the ambush.

However, at this moment, two buzzing noises reached his ears one after another, one of which came from the opposite side of them, and according to their designed rhythm, this sound was expected by Yamada Soden.

Another voice came from behind them. This shocked Yamada Soden, who had originally wanted to order his men. Quickly turned around and raised the shield to the other side, but it was too late.

When he and his men turned around, they were greeted by an arrow slowly enlarged. In terror, their pupils dilated dramatically. It seemed to devour the arrows that came at them, but the end result was that the enemy's arrows pierced their iris, pierced their retina, and pierced their heads.

Bee Suga to the town but when he saw his henchman beloved general. Soden Yamada has turned into a hedgehog. This grieved the young prince, and he vowed that if he made it out of here alive, he would avenge his love.

However, Yoyuki has been waiting here for a long time, how can he let go of this big fish sent to the door?

With a traverser lord behind him, Yoyuki doesn't even need to send out his own scouts to see his enemy's every move.

He had already laid out a well-planned arrangement here, and the archers were distributed in 3 different directions. Even if one of the positions is attacked, the soldiers in the other two positions can assist. If you have to walk into this triangular area, there is no reason for the enemy to leave alive.

A sharp cannon flew into the air, which was the signal for the beginning of the general offensive.

The soldiers of the three positions shot together with bows and arrows, and the little sparrows scattered all over the sky, spreading the smile of death to everyone on the ground.

Protected by the shields of the guards, Wasuka was able to move slowly, trying to withdraw from the ambush circle by the same route. But he was far from expecting that the enemy's bows and arrows could be fired at such a high frequency that it seemed that their arms would never feel sore.

But now at this fateful moment, he didn't allow too much time to doubt, he just wanted to be able to escape from here as soon as possible, but his wish might not be fulfilled.

In the woods not far away, a man and a horse galloped out, and a general in armor was sitting on the horse, bending his bow and arrows, aiming at the moving turtle shell.

Through the gap in the shield, Wasuka finally found the answer to the question in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the longbow in his focal hand. The peculiarity of that longbow is that the bowstring is not simply connected to the two ends of the bow arm. Instead, it crosses back and forth and goes around the two pulleys and is attached to the bow arm.

Such a strange and strange shape, it is the first time that Bee Suga Zhizhen has seen it.

But what happened next was a strong proof that it was the last time he would see such a bow and arrow.

From the very beginning of this operation, Yoyuki was always ready for this moment. He urged the horse to sit down, rushed out of the woods frantically, and slammed the reins, the horse man stood up, and he took advantage of the situation to adjust his sitting posture, bent his bow and arrows, aimed at the target more than 100 steps away, and shot out the feathered arrow in his hand with a whoosh.

Wasuka Zhizhen looked at the enemy general, but he didn't expect that at such a distance, he would dare to try to shoot an arrow at himself. His previous experience showed that at such a distance, even a sharpshooter. There is also often the possibility of off-target.

But this time, he underestimated the power of tool improvements. The range of a pulley bow is far from being possible with bows and arrows of the same type.

When the feathered arrow passed through the gap in the shield and came to the town of Wasuka Zhizhen, he finally understood how much helpless fear had been frozen in the expression of Ai Shogun Yamada Soden when he was dying.

"Lord!" With the cries of the guards. This son-in-law of Tokugawa Ieyasu ended his short life.

Yoyuki put away his precious bow and arrows, and seemed to ignore the remaining small fish and shrimp. According to the idea of the lord Kangning, a few living mouths should also be left behind, and Tokugawa Ieyasu reported the death of his son-in-law.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu may not have had time to pay attention to the death of his son-in-law. To him, Wasuka Zhizhen was nothing more than an ally of a political marriage. Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to support him, so he gave him the honor of being a son-in-law.

If he dies on the battlefield. Tokugawa Ieyasu could only say that it was the glory of a samurai.

As for the Awa country that Wasuka Zhizhen possessed, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not very worried, even if Kangning wanted to get the reling, he would not do it at this time. At this point, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Koning thought of going together.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was now more concerned with the war on the other front.

Toshino and Imafuku are located northeast of Osaka Castle, separated by the Yamato River. But all of them were fortified. Toyotomi obviously wants to achieve the ideal effect of being horns and echoing each other. Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that these were two more difficult bones to gnaw.

Thereupon. He sent Uesugi Keikatsu to attack Toshino, and Satake Yoshinobu to attack Imfuku. The fathers of the two, at least the nominal fathers, Kenshin Uesugi and Yoshishige Satake, are both famous generals, even if they are tiger fathers and dogs. The skill of biting has been passed down.

But the Toyotomi family was clearly not prepared to give up these two strategic locations. Ohno mentally retarded dispatched the Toyotomi family's personal guard unit, the Shichite-gumi, and Watanabe's subordinates, totaling more than 12,000 people.

Uesugi Keikatsu gained the upper hand in the initial battle, and the original defenders left behind more than a hundred corpses in a panicked run. Uesugi Keikatsu was ready to continue the pursuit, but the general Suda Nagayoshi suspected that the opponent was deliberately luring the enemy deeper, so he finally gave up the pursuit. Instead, use a strategy of holding on to help.

The Seven Hands and Watanabe's men and horses weren't actually ready for an ambush. On the contrary, another part of Corning's troops and horses had already laid an ambush nearby.

The people who led this ambush were the three people who were summoned not long ago to rescue Boss Huang. However, the one who led the three of them was Bai Qi, who had just been summoned yesterday.

After Corning entered farming mode, all kinds of bad tastes emerged. It is also one of them to summon the talents of the Central Plains Warring States to fight against the various daimyo of the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom.

However, the two confrontations he had been waiting for for a long time were only the war on Yoyuki's side as he wished. On Uesugi Keikatsu's side, there is Suda Nagayoshi, who has a deep sense of crisis, so that Bai Qi's preparations are all in the soup.

Since the other party didn't mean to be fooled, Bai Qi simply ordered his soldiers to start a fire to cook, and the smoke curled into the air, seeing that Uesugi Jingsheng felt a chill in his back, if he just rushed over desperately, it was estimated that the prestige of the Uesugi family would be smashed in his hands.

Because of this, he thanked Suda Nagayoshi vigorously. On the other hand, Watanabe has also noticed friendly forces who are making a fire to cook with great fanfare.

When he saw Bai Qi, the other party was eating rabbit meat with relish. Watanabe didn't know what kind of seasoning he put on top of the rabbit meat to make it so delicious. He wanted to investigate, but the other party's words made his hungry body suddenly become excited.

"Watanabe is right?"

"Hey!"

"Instead of envying me for eating meat here, you should take advantage of the fact that our cooking smoke paralyzes the enemy, and make a full assault, and maybe, there will be unexpected gains."

Watanabe Daiki. He quickly jumped up and consulted with the seven leaders of the Nanjute group, and finally they decided to strike with all their might to see what the famous Uesugi family was like.

Uesugi Keikatsu also smelled the aroma of barbecue, and he didn't know where the other party got so many rabbits, and he could still bring the fragrance here from such a distance.

There was a gurgling sound, and Uesugi Keikatsu found that his stomach had begun to scream uncontrollably. And many of his subordinates are already drooling.

Seeing this scene, Suda Nagayoshi said a little nervously: "It's better for us to evacuate here as soon as possible." I always had a feeling of unease. ”

Uesugi Keikatsu touched his stomach and smiled, "I also have a feeling of uneasiness. ”

Suda Nagayoshi is embarrassed. What did this lord of his say? In the face of his own warning of danger, did he answer with the restlessness of the Five Organs Temple?

Fortunately, Uesugi Keikatsu also felt that his answer was too ungraceful for the princes all the way, but more like an underage child, so he added: "Anyway, the enemy is dining, and I think it's safe to come now." Either we should dine, or we will smell the fragrance but not be able to eat, and the soldiers will complain. As for the retreat, don't talk about it. Tokugawa Ieyasu was waiting for us to be eliminated on the charge of defeat, so how could he send such an excuse to clean us up? This is where he wants, and I don't believe he'll send reinforcements. ”

Suda Nagayoshi immediately looked at his lord with admiration.

"It turns out that the lord has thought of such a long term, which really makes his subordinates ashamed."

However, Suda Nagayoshi's uneasiness was not dispelled by this. Such a strong and excessive fragrance always made him feel a sense of conspiracy mixed with it.

But the soldiers' stomachs were already growling, and they didn't care what the conspiracy was.

Therefore, Suda Nagayoshi had no choice but to order the stove to be lit. So the soldiers could finally see the hot meal in front of them.

Although the aroma of these meals is far from being comparable to that of the enemy. However, some of them ate well, and in the Wa Kingdom, meat and fish were only available to the nobility.

The ashigaru samurai had no choice but to smell the smell of meat wafting from afar, and eat rough food to fill their empty stomachs.

Fortunately, for a group of hungry people, any food is delicious. So the crowd soon feasted.

But at this moment, a sharp bubble pierced the sky, and Suda Nagayoshi jumped up immediately.

"Enemy attack!"

When he drew his katana and prepared to fight, Watanabe's sneer had already appeared in front of him. On that terrible face, it was clearly written, "It is to make your food unstable." (To be continued.) )
