376 Roses come west
On the night of September 2 of the first year of Eiroku, the Jinbo army once again withdrew from Mt. Matsukura. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From the chief position of the god to the ordinary peasant soldier Ashigaru, I didn't expect that the Shiina family would be able to hold on until now.
Even the father and son, Yasuyin Shiina and Jingnao, did not expect that the Shiina family would be able to hold on to the present under the onslaught of the enemy.
At this moment, most of Matsukura Castle has been burned down, and all they have to hold on to is a Honmaru castle tower.
Although the castle tower is dangerous, it is not without flaws, such as ...... Fire.
Although he had people drape the wooden pavilion of the castle tower draped in tarpaulin, Keito's mind was completely unsure how long the rockets fired from the mountain would be able to stop him.
Taking advantage of this moment to rest, Shiina Keizhi untied the strip of cloth wrapped around his hand and untied the sword.
Then, after washing and drying his hands and the hilt of the knife, Jingzhi used a piece of linen cloth to tie his right hand directly to the handle of the sword.
Like the man known as the lone wolf of Hokuriku, Shiina Keinao doesn't like to wear gloves.
The knife is already light and compact, and if there is an extra layer of thick gloves on the hand, it will undoubtedly affect the feel and judgment when swinging the knife.
Many years ago when he was in Echigo, Sasa Narumasa told him that a long time ago, when the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom went into battle, they would tie their right hands and the hilt of their swords together with strips of cloth until the battle was over.
Shiina Kei leaned straight behind the female wall of the Honmaru castle tower, held the sword in front of him with his tired right hand, and muttered:
"I hope you don't disappoint me either...... If you don't come again, Shiina really won't be able to hold on. ”
A meteor suddenly appeared in the night sky, shining brightly, and it lasted for several breaths in the northern sky.
Shiina Keinao couldn't help but be stunned.
Meteors, also known as flying fire, have always been considered bad omens, and at this time, there are meteors passing by, I don't know what it means?
Perhaps, someone will die?
He looked to the north where the meteors had faded, expecting reinforcements to fall from the sky.
At this time, Sasa Chengmasa led 500 bows to finally arrive near Yuzu.
However, in the Yujin Fortress, there are several lucky ships of the Ming Kingdom quietly coming, and the archers on the ships seem to be quite extraordinary, and they shoot the sentry of the Jibojia who is keeping vigil with a few arrows.
The big ship crunched against the wharf, and before the sailors could lower the rope ladder, more than a dozen people jumped off the side of the ship, landed on the wharf and rolled on the spot, and went to look for the defenders and kill them on a large scale.
The guards finally sensed the movement on the side of the pier, and hurriedly gathered their men in a panic to organize a resistance, but when Zhang of the Shenbao clan left, only two hundred old and weak people were left to guard the place.
The soldiers who disembarked from the ship took out tall Michinoku horses from the cabin, and in a few moments, they assembled in the Uozu Cave and prepared for their departure.
Under the light of the pine torches, these knights are all dressed in red armor, and the indicator flag behind them is white and painted with three red bars, which represent the "three reds": flames, blood donations, and roses.
The samurai on horseback at the head is none other than Keiji Maeda, who is known as a wonder. Keiji wore a protective Nanban carcass with excellent strength, covered with a layer of fiery red array feather weaving, he did not wear a helmet, but on top of the golden crown of his hair, there were two often male pheasant tail feathers, which was ordered according to the Ming military general Lu Bu's costume, which cost Maeda Keiji a lot of money.
Coupled with the black giant horse under his crotch, his whole person looked majestic, and he was imposing.
Sasa Cheng stood in front of this team of four hundred horsemen with some excitement, and slowly raised his left arm that was clenched into a fist.
Seeing this, Keiji Maeda shouted loudly:
"The Rose Knight Wing and the gun team are all in place!"
After that, Ogasawara Sadakei, Ohata Nobutada and others also responded:
"The Rose Knight Wing and the Bow Group (Sword Group) are all in place!"
"You're finally here, let's go, get out of battle!"
"Hah!"
Four hundred Rose Knights slowly drove out of Uozu and into the streets of the coast.
Tu Fei Zhengfan, who commanded the Gong Zhuang people outside, thought that the soldiers under his command had been tempered by these days and had been able to become rare elite soldiers, not to mention the best in the world, but it should be no problem to dominate the country in Vietnam.
However, after seeing the neat and tidy Rose Knights Wing, Dohi Masao's previous complacency disappeared in an instant.
"What the hell is this......"
Although the Gong Zhuang people have some combat effectiveness, they are all inferior in terms of the physical fitness of the soldiers themselves, the proficiency of their weapons, and the height of their horses.
Not to mention, the Rose Knight has been formed for a long time, and has made a name for itself in the battle between Kanto and Kawanakajima.
"Departure, goal, Matsukura Mountain!"
Nine hundred knights walked one after another, leaving behind the still brightly lit Yujin Kui, and after the four hundred rose knights walked out of the lucky ships, it seemed that there were still passengers coming down in a steady stream.
Most of these people who have just disembarked are women, and most of them are young and graceful women!
However, these young, seductive women, almost with an iron cannon in their hands, frightened the prisoners of the Jinbo Army in Uozu.
These warblers and swallows look delicate, but their demeanor is quite feminine, which is not to be underestimated. They uniformly wore the standard military uniforms known as "sailor uniforms" in later generations, and for hundreds of years, this cross-era feat was talked about for a long time.
In the mid-16th century, the Echigo Early Strike Group, which was short-lived in the Uesugi family in Hokuriku, were more often referred to as "sailor suits and machine guns".
In the end, an old man, supported by a young girl, slowly got off the boat and came to the Uozu Cave, he looked old, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, but he really walked around the Uozu Cave.
"Yes, the lord's vision is really not bad, this place is indeed an important place."
"What about land? Anyway, you don't have the strength to pick up a knife and get on the horse. ”
The girl beside the old man muttered angrily.
"Although I can't carry a sword on my horse, the lord has ordered me to build a city here!"
"I knew this guy was uneasy and kind......"
This old man is none other than Usami Dingmi, who is known for his resourcefulness and military law in Echigo, and the girl next to him is his youngest daughter, Usami Nami.
"After the construction of this Uozu Castle, Matsukura Castle became meaningless, and the day the castle was completed was the time when the Shiina family was removed."
Usami was facing southeast and looked in the direction of Mt. Matsukura.
He could see that the flames were burning again on Mt. Matsukura, and although they were not violent, they seemed to be burning on the top of the mountain, and they were very recognizable.
And just a few miles away on Mt. Matsukura, the Shiina family seems to have fallen into a state of exhaustion.
Their last recourse, the castle tower, was also ignited by the unremitting efforts of the Divine Protection Army.
"Kill! Reinforcements are already on the way! ”
"Stick to your post, Zozo-sama won't give up on us!"
He traveled to and from every part of the front line, and even personally rushed down to kill the enemy troops when the battle situation was urgent, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.
In the half month since the Shenbao family attacked the city, Jing Zhi, the young master who took the lead and shared weal and woe with everyone, unknowingly established a reputation beyond the family governor Kangyin.
In the days-long defensive battle, only the young master always stood with the soldiers on the front line, and Jingzhi's routine patrol also established the impression of sympathy for his subordinates in the hearts of the soldiers.
However, Jingzhi's high-profile move certainly attracted the attention of the Divine Protection Army.
"That brave samurai, is that the young master of the Shiina family?"
"Hay!"
"Kill him!" (To be continued.) )
