Chapter 408: Straight into the abdomen
"Run! Chasing after you! "On the road leading from Hizen Lotus Pond Castle to Kaizu Castle, a group of soldiers is frantically fleeing. These people looked terrified, and each of them wore a flag with their own family on it. It can be seen from the banner that these soldiers belong to Chikugo or even Bungo.
Yes, these people are the soldiers of the Otomo family who were ordered to pretend to attack Hasuchi City. According to the plan of the general Ji Xianjian, when they were pursuing the rout of the Ouchi family, they were responsible for pretending to attack the Luo family's Lianchi City, confusing and pinning down the Luo family, so that the Luo family could not support the defeated Ouchi family in time.
Yoshixian's wishful thinking was clanging, but he sent a general who had no strategy, and before he could reach the castle of Lianchi, he was raided by Isano Yuanchang's cavalry. Even more tragic was that the leading general fell from his frightened horse in the midst of the chaos, hit his head on a rock, and unfortunately went to find the king of Yama. As a result, the Otomo family coalition was tragic. Collapsed in an instant under the assault of the Luo family's cavalry.
"Long, Long, Long......" The cavalry of the Luo family was like a life-urging ghost, and they kept following the defeated soldiers of the Otomo family forward. The soldiers of the Otomo family, who had lost their general, instinctively fled for their lives to Kaijin Castle in panic.
It was evening, and Kaizu Castle, as the gateway in front of the Otomo family's main battle, had gradually fallen into immersion at this moment. Whether it is Sefukuji Castle or Hasuike Castle, due to the rapid change of the battlefield situation, the battle situation on these two roads has not yet reached the city, so in the eyes of most people in the city, the situation of the Otomo family's coalition is still very good.
"Quick. Run! "Demon, devil is behind you! At this moment, a shout was heard in the distance on the avenue in front of the city gate.
Suddenly, the soldiers in charge of guarding the gate immediately reacted and hurriedly shouted to stop, and the city gate began to close.
"Don't. I'm Kanliu! "Help, don't close the door. The person who was rapidly approaching immediately let out an earth-shattering exclamation.
After some confirmation, the samurai who defended the castle finally confirmed who was coming. Then the closing of the city gates was suspended.
"Long, Long, Long......" At this time, the cavalry of the Luo family, who had been deliberately maintaining a sufficient distance from the rout in front, suddenly turned out of a wood, and then galloped towards the city gate.
"Oh no, close the gates!" At this time, the samurai in charge of guarding the gate finally knew that Lu Dao had been fooled. It was clear that the opposing cavalry had been following behind the routs, but they had kept enough distance that they felt that they could escape with their lives. It was even more deadly, when it was about to approach Haijin City. These cavalrymen concealed their tracks through the dense woods. Eventually, these deserters launched a raid on the city gates.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry was about to be killed, the warriors defending the city finally couldn't sit still, and in order to clear the city gate as soon as possible, the warriors even took out their swords directly and slashed at the routs that were frantically pouring in. But he looked down on the desire to survive and the fear of death of these routs, and saw that only by escaping into the city could he get a chance to survive, where would these routs let go of the opportunity?
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The sound of killing is loud. The cavalry that came with the power of thunder roared towards the city gate with a shout of earth-shattering.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of horses' hooves rushed to the city. "Boom, boom, boom". The huge war horse was not afraid of death and crashed into the crowd in front of the city gate.
"Ahh A scream rang out from the city gates.
Can't stop the sudden violent impact. "Squeak, squeak", the wooden gate, which was only half-closed, groaned overwhelmedly, and finally slammed open with a "boom".
In the dust, an armored soldier stamped through the door brandishing a katana, and more armored soldiers followed. This is the cavalry warrior built by the Luo family.
"Kill!" One of the armored samurai shot the samurai guarding Otomo's house and then burst into tears. This person is none other than the cavalry general of the Luo family, Isono Yuanchang.
"Kill!" The Chixue Guangqing and others in the rear also fought bravely towards the door of the city gate.
As the soldiers of the Luo family bravely advanced under the leadership of the main general, the soldiers of the Otomo family at the gate of Haijin Castle began to rout. The retreating soldiers infiltrated the rescue team, and the panic, germs, spread rapidly among the Great Friendly Army. One piece – chaos.
"Can't be returned. If we retreat, we will abandon the city, and we have no way to retreat! Shiga was heartbroken and shouted: "The soldiers of the Otomo family, who is the first with me?" ”。 At this time, he knew that he had to stand up in person. Haijin Castle, as the gateway to the rear of the main formation, cannot afford to lose. In the case of the main force of the army, once Haijin Castle is lost, it means that the Otomo family will lose their own position. If this is the case, even if the main force of the Otomo family finally completely defeats the Ouchi family and even forces the Luo family, and as the defender of Kaizu Castle this time, the castle is captured alone, then Shiga himself can go to get the bento with honor. Therefore, Haijin City must not be lost.
At this moment, Shiga was really scared, he didn't expect that the other party would choose to smash Huanglong in the case of a complete defeat in the battle. But he really couldn't understand why the other party was attacking this city, which could be said to be a chicken rib. What if they take it? As long as the main force of the Otomo family defeats the Ouchi family's coalition forces, this battle can be said to be a set tone. Even if you occupy this city, it will have no effect on the entire battle situation. Of course, what Shiga personally guarded was that this siege was completely an unintentional move by Isono Yuanchang. After easily defeating the invading Otomo coalition of several hundred people, Isono decided to take Kaijin Castle with this rout. So, there was this siege scene.
This is a temporary move by Isono Yuanchang, but it puts Shiga in an extremely passive place. Because once the Otomo family won a complete victory on the main battlefield, then the fall of Kaizu Castle would be an extremely conspicuous stain. In such a situation, will he still have good fruit to eat?
"Up, give it to me, if you can stop them, there will be a reward!" Seeing that the enemy army was already like a castle, Shiga had to shout his men with all his strength to resist.
"Fight", there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, I saw one of the Otomo family samurai shouting wildly and crashing into the surging Luo family cavalry. Behind him, more than a dozen soldiers followed. Passionate. The soldiers in the rear also went crazy, "killing ......", and rushed up with a roar.
"Boom", the people and horses in the two directions collided like a tide of rage. The stump was broken and the blade was flying, and the screams of dying were continuous. The people in the front row fell, and the back row rushed up, stepping on the corpses of the brothers in front.
Two hours later, the shouts of killing gradually died out.
"My lord, all enemy forces in the city have been completely cleared!" In front of a burning bonfire, a samurai reports to Isono Masashi.
"Close the gates of the city, leave the wounded and wounded horses to defend the city, and the rest of the people, after resting for half an hour, immediately hold up torches and smash the opponent's main camp for me." Isono Yuanchang ordered directly. After interrogating the captured soldiers of the Otomo family, the main camp of the Otomo family of Isono member Masachi Michi Otomo was actually in the same empty formation, except for some old and weak soldiers. So he decided to kill where to go overnight, burn it down, and then use the advantage of the cavalry to turn the hinterland of the Otomo family in Chikugo upside down. (To be continued.) )
