Chapter 1017: Running in the Night (Adding a Supplement to 'Shenluan')
On the evening of June 3, the third year of Yonglu (that is, 1560 AD), the sun had sunk in the west, and the sunset of Yuanjiang Country was gorgeous.
In the past hour, the king city has just experienced a life-and-death battle, the soldiers in the city have few casualties, and the arrows and gunpowder are consumed quite a lot, which is also a matter of no choice, the recruits will inevitably attack rationally under the panic, and they will always mature after seeing life and death. The Okabe Motonobu army outside the city suffered heavy casualties, but they did not dare to step forward to move the corpse, so they hung it in front of the city gate.
After nightfall, the Okabe Motonobu army began to light bonfires outside the castle. There are also villages outside the city, and the villages are full of nearby villagers. Toe Province is the country of Tokaido facing the Toshu Beach, and it is bordered by the Oi River to the east, Mikawa Province to the west of Lake Hamana to the west, the Akaishi Mountains and the Ina Mountains to the north, the mountainous terrain from the north to the center, and the vast plains around the coastline to the south. The Tianryu River passes through the north and south of the central area, and although it often floods, the surrounding land is fertile and agriculture is developed, and the royal city is located in this fertile area, so the nearby area is the most important agricultural area in the Yuanjiang country, and the population is also the largest.
However, this time the war caused a lot of damage to the local area, at least tonight many Imagawa soldiers actually went to the nearby villages to have fun, and in order to better set up camp, Okabe Nobumoto also asked his men to go to the nearby villages to ask for supplies.
So, that night, the bonfire reflected the sunset, and the nearby villagers watched as many of their neighbors who had managed to live and work in peace and contentment dismantled their houses and burned them into firewood. They all felt a great anger in their hearts.
See this scenario. Many of the defenders of Zano Castle, who were originally from the nearby area, were also very angry. So under the stimulation of anger, the mounts in the city were quickly prepared, and more than 20 samurai dressed in light armor appeared in front of Luo Shi Xinliang, Luo Shi Xinliang looked at more than 20 people led by Bai Wuxian and said: "This battle is not to break the enemy, and there is no need to rush too deep, establish the confidence of the royal city, and bluff." Don't fight to the death, but don't run back without killing a few either. ”
Everyone was relieved to hear this. I thought I was going to rush into battle, but I thought about it. Now that there are people in the royal city who have food and water, why do they need to charge desperately. All of them proudly said, "We'll take care of it." ”
So Imagawa Burner, who was in charge of staying behind, immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and beat the drum." Light the torch and charge! ”
To defend to the death is to defend to the death, to have an attack and a defense to be able to break the situation, if you want the enemy not to attack the city, and have to besiege it, the best way is to take the initiative to attack at night, so that it can not distinguish the reality of attack and defense.
One torch per person. More than 20 horsemen had a torch in their hands, and the city gate was wide open. Wide field of view. Their eyes looked at the camp of Okabe Motonobu in the distance, but they didn't pay attention to the bloodied hillside beneath their feet.
Bai Wuxian held a spear in one hand, suddenly straightened his body, and roared excitedly: "Brothers, kill!" After roaring, he charged towards the camp of Okabe Motonobu's army without hesitation.
More than twenty horsemen also burst into all kinds of foul mouths, screaming wildly, and they shouted loudly, hoarse. As he rushed down the hillside, more than 20 torches flew out from behind Hyakkutake Kenkan and fell into the crowd of Okabe Motonobu's army, who had hastily assembled after discovering that they had been attacked. Directly opposite, several Okabe Motoshin troops were burned, and under the pain, weapons, armor and other materials were crooked.
Hyakkutake Kenkan saw clearly the face of a strong Okabe Motonobu army that was blocking in front of him. It was a crumpled middle-aged man's face, clearly visible under the swaying of the campfire. He obviously didn't let him go just because the other party was a middle-aged man. The spear in his hand slashed the middle-aged man's head with a fierce shot, and the short hunchbacked body without a head fell to the ground. Hyakwu Kenkane's mount had already rushed over, slashing and killing.
More than twenty horsemen were slashing and slashing in the crowd, and the troops of Okabe Motoshin were obviously unprepared, and they were suddenly disorganized. Okabe Motonobu's army did not dare to get too close to their bravery, and scattered in all directions, but soon came forward like a tidal wave.
The unfamiliar faces made the hundred martial sages and the knights under his command gritted their teeth and became angry, these people obviously wanted to waste the body of the hundred martial sages and other horses, and when they were exhausted, they could be divided and broken individually.
And when Hyakkutake Kenkan saw the enemies surrounding him from a distance with weapons in hand and wanted to surround them, he couldn't help but be proud, laughed, and pointed at the military strength of a small group of Okabe Motoshin and shouted: "Kill them for me!" As he spoke, he rushed out of the room.
This is a group of more than forty people, huddled under a red bird-patterned flag, shouting slogans without the slightest expression of fear, shouting loudly, where the hundred martial sages and fingers, more than twenty horsemen began to charge. If a person relies on the help of a galloping war horse, the weapon he swings relies on the inertia of speed, and the power is countless times greater.
On the battlefield, a horse fight is often the most gorgeous battle.
Baiwu Xiankan's riding skills are very powerful, and the riding skills of more than 20 horsemen are not bad, at least you don't have to worry about falling off the horse, once you fall off the horse, the end is to die under the charge of Okabe Motoshin's army, and they obviously have the spare strength to kill in a short time.
In a short period of time, this red bird pattern banner fell to the ground, and the team of more than forty people was left with less than a dozen scarred remnants, and the rest were slaughtered by Bai Wuxian and this group of cavalry. If it weren't for a shot in the leg, it would have been almost the end of the victory.
However, at this time, Okabe Motoshin's military strength finally had a decent counterattack, and a group of archers appeared on the flanks of Hyakutake Kenkane, hiding in the crowd under the protection of other Okabe Motoshin's troops, and shot arrows at the running cavalry, and the arrows flew sideways, one of which suddenly slashed across Hyakutake Kenkane's cheek. Bai Wuxian felt a bloody smell at the corner of his mouth.
The spear in Bai Wuxian's hand had already been broken, and now he was holding his naginata in his hand, grinning, and shouting loudly: "Brothers, charge in the direction of the city!" As he spoke, he slashed and killed the Okabe Motonobu army who was rushing over.
Seeing that the cavalry who were sneaking up on the attack rushed towards the city gate, Okabe Motonobu, who had already arrived at this time, immediately shouted angrily: "Kill me, rush up, and surround and kill them!" "It's just that at this time, the surrounding army is still in chaos, can they leave Bai Wu Xiankan and the others?
The answer is naturally no, Okabe Motoshin's throat, but the result is that the formation of Okabe Motoshin's army is even more chaotic, and the archers do not dare to shoot arrows at will, they all want to rush up to besiege and kill, and soon the road to the city gate is crowded into chaos, and only the hundreds of Okabe Motoshin troops who rushed in front rushed forward in a chaotic manner.
Bai Wuxian glanced back at the scene behind him and shouted, "Brothers, dismount and fight me!" ”
Turning the horse's head on the hillside was to seek death, and the only way to jump off the horse and meet the battle on foot was opened, and hundreds of defenders armed with swords and guns rushed out (most of them were from the standing stock of the Luo family).
Soon the two sides collided on the hillside, and the sharp spears lightly pierced the soldiers in Imagawa's armor, and the battlefield instantly turned into a massacre, and in a short period of time, forty or fifty people lost their lives under the swords and guns. The soldiers of the Imagawa family were immediately in a state of confusion, frightened by the sudden blow, and began to flee.
Bai Wuken and once again killed nearly 200 people, and the morale of the Okabe Motonobu army under the castle was completely lost, and the Imagawa soldiers who rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties, and the mentality of the rest of the Imagawa soldiers who were lucky enough to leave their lives changed under the bloody and cruel war, and Okabe Motoshin and the Imagawa retainers did not realize that the Imagawa soldiers were no longer only worshiping and obeying in their eyes.
When he left the city, he rode twenty-three, and when he came back, he was still twenty-three cavalry, but three unlucky people were seriously injured, and the city immediately thundered with joy.
