Chapter 608: Scarlet Dawn
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp.
Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier.
The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt......
The above verse is the scene in Otomo Yoshikan's dream at this time. In the dream, he dreamed that he commanded the army, and after a high-spirited battle and autumn soldiers, he directly entered the Gaoliang City of the Luo family, and finally cut off the head of the Luo family Zhengliang with his own hands. Luo Zhengliang's unwilling eyes before he died almost made him bigger and bigger in his dreams. And after the final victory, he even got several wives and concubines of Luo Zhengliang and took them into the house.
Yes, it's like the genes in the blood are already doomed, and Otomo Yoshikan has always had a hobby of seizing the enemy's wives and concubines. And this hobby of his was inherited to his sister-in-law, Otomo Yoshizhen (legal name Zonglin). It's just that in the future, Otomo Yoshizhen's hobbies have changed slightly, and the goal of his hobby has become a wife and concubine who likes to play with retainers, and even forcibly seizes the wives and concubines of retainers.
Don't think that this will lead to the rebellion of the monarchs and ministers in the family, in fact, at this time, there are already such things as changing wives and male partners, just like the way between monarchs and ministers, such things happen between monarchs and ministers instead of them are considered by them to increase mutual trust. This is indeed a difficult act to understand, as is the custom of worshipping a male penis. And these are the foundations that form the basis of a certain culture that will become popular in a certain country and around the world.
It's just that Otomo Yoshikan's dream at this time, after being awakened by the sudden warning sound in the camp, instantly responded to this sentence: The dream is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Otomo Yoshikan, who was awakened by the sound of the warning, instantly made a standard standing up movement that a good general should have. After calming down for a while, he immediately shouted: "What is the matter outside the tent? ”
"My lord. Big things are not good. The Luo family is coming! At this time, the attendants outside the tent hurriedly came in to report.
"Sure enough, I came to sneak attack! Ha Luha, Luo Zhengliang, I want you to come and go tonight. As soon as he heard that it was a sneak attack by the Luo family, before the attendant finished his report, Otomo Yoshikan immediately laughed.
The attendant ......apparently found that Otomo Yoshikan had not fully understood the meaning of his words, and immediately anxiously prepared to continue his report, but at this time he suddenly found that the earth was shaking. So he shouted "The monster is coming", and then ran out of the city like crazy.
"This?" Otomo Yoshikan was immediately dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. And his attendants abandoned him? Of course, he also felt the shaking of the ground under his feet in an instant, and even at this time he noticed the exclamations of the soldiers outside the tent and the strange cries of "baa, baa, baa" mixed in with it.
"It's not scientific!" Otomo Yoshikan muttered to himself. According to tonight's arrangement, even if the Luo family comes to attack at this time, there will be no such chaos in their own camp!
Just as he was about to call in again to help him put his armor back on, and then go out of the tent to take a look. Suddenly a "hiss" sound was heard, and then the tabernacle of the big tent he was in was cut open by a sharp weapon, and at the same time, the tent actually burned at the same time.
After an overnight evaporation. At this time, it can be said that everything is dry and dry, so Otomo Yoshikan's big tent burned instantly.
"Run!" Behold, the tabernacle burned. The fool would continue to stay in the tent, so Otomo Yoshikan didn't even bother to pick up the armor placed on the other side of the tent and ran out of the tent in civilian clothes.
"Oh my God! What is this? As he ran out of the tent, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a rolling ball of fire heading madly towards the rear of the camp. Looking at the situation around him, he was even more surprised by the scene in front of him.
"What the hell is going on?"
I saw that the camp was full of fires, and there were soldiers scurrying around like headless flies.
"Is this still the family's camp?"
"Night Raid! Night Raid! While Otomo Yoshikan was still muttering, the soldiers of the Otomo family in the camp were still shouting while dodging the surging fire bulls.
In fact, what is happening in front of you is just a momentary moment. The speed of the ploughing ox that launched the frenzy was quite fast, so in just a moment, the distance of less than 800 meters allowed the ploughing ox to run all over the body. They arrived at the camp of the Oyutomo family and the Ouchi family in an instant.
If you look down from the sky, you can see monster-like fire bulls rushing forward, followed by a large group of ant-like black shadows (the strength of the Luo family's army), surging forward like a tide. It's just that the distance between this tide and the fire bull monster in front of it is indeed getting farther and farther. Obviously, the speed of the Luo family's army behind has lagged behind.
Of course, the camp of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family is not completely unprepared. In order to prevent the Luo family's sneak attack, they deliberately increased the camp fence, and built it much stronger than before.
But don't underestimate the strength of the fire bull that started the madness. In his previous life, Masahiro had witnessed a ploughing ox running across the road being hit sideways by a pickup truck, and as a result, the ploughing ox was knocked out of the road and several meters away (in the end, it was only seriously injured and did not die, and was later cured), and the front of the truck was completely recessed, and even the driver was caught in the cab and couldn't get out. And that's not even the result of a head-on collision. Therefore, when these crazy fire oxen rushed head-on to the fence on the outskirts of the camp, the fences were smashed like papier-mâché, and the soldiers behind them were killed in an instant. Although the flammable material on the fire ox fell a lot when it hit the fence, some of it still stuck to their bodies, so when they crashed into the tents of the camp, the tents also burned instantly.
With the sudden entry of the fire ox, the camp of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, which was suddenly attacked, suddenly exploded. Because it was close to dawn, seeing that the Luo family would not come to sneak attack, there were not many guards on both sides who were responsible for guarding the camp at this time, and no one expected that the military strength of the Luo family would be killed at this time, many generals hurriedly put on armor, and those soldiers who were awakened in the blur were like ants that had been turned over, densely pouring out. In the dark late at night. Crowded into a mess.
"Whoosh ......" is even worse. At this moment, a sudden rain of arrows fell in the sky. It turned out that he secretly touched the hundreds of archers under the command of Yoshida Shigemasa and Andel near the Otomo family's camp and began to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Otomo's camp.
"Vertical guns! Everybody guns up! Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, some of the generals finally stood up and shouted, dodging the arrows that came from the air from time to time, and at the same time snatching their own pikemen out of the scurrying crowd, and slapping them several times before the panicked pikemen came back to their senses.
"Damn, if you don't want to die, put up a spear right away!"
"Boom!" At this moment, a loud noise was heard not far away. A row of rough wooden fences erected outside the camp was suddenly pushed open in a crushing manner.
"Kill!"
At this time, the Luo family's army, which was closely behind the fire bull, finally arrived.
"Ahh More than a dozen soldiers of the Otomo family, who had no time to dodge, were stabbed down at once by the swift killing of the Luo family's army, screaming bloodially. The few Otomo soldiers who had just barely gathered were in confusion again.
"Kill!" Masayo, who was the first to enter the camp, raised his snow bright broadsword, like lightning suddenly slashing in the dark night, and slashed the throat of an Otomo general who was trying to gather soldiers. Driven by such a brave performance, the soldiers around Masarashi immediately rushed into the group of soldiers of the Otomo family with a shout like chicken blood.
"Kill, Otomo Yoshikan is being taken!"
"The monster in the back is back!"
"Don't let anyone go!"
"Their lord has fled!"
……
"Run, the devil of the Luo family is here!" With a series of random shouts from the Luo family detectives, coupled with the fact that a large number of Luo family troops continued to pour into the already chaotic camp and slash wildly. Countless frightened Otomo soldiers immediately turned into a rout and began to retreat. No matter how the generals around him try to stop it, it will be useless. After all, most of these soldiers were peasant soldiers, in such a situation. It's strange not to run.
"Wait!" Seeing that his army began to retreat in disarray, he naturally knew the danger of it, so he immediately waved his hand to stop it.
But he misses the most important point. That is, it was dark at this time, although it had been reflected in the day by the burning tent, but because the camp had been completely chaotic at this time, there were shouts of killing and the sound of crying fathers and mothers running away, it can be said that the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, so his sound of stopping only barely made the people nearby stop, and the people who were a little farther away did not hear it at all, but retreated at an accelerated pace.
"The main flag and the horse seal!"
Otomo Yoshikan also immediately realized this problem and immediately spoke out loud again. So his men immediately searched everywhere. But in this way, not only did many people lose in the chaos, but in the end, those who came back only found a few flags that were burned to the point of wooden poles. The most serious thing was that the group of them stopped like this, in stark contrast to the soldiers around them who were being chased and fleeing, and from a distance, they looked like a thunderous stone in the retreat of the rapids. So they quickly attracted the attention of the Luo family's military forces. In an instant, they became the target of the focus of attack and care.
It's a pity that at this time, Masarashi is using all his strength to wave the double knife in his hand to chase and kill the deserters of the Otomo family, otherwise if he sees such a scene, he will immediately kill the place where Otomo Yoshikan is located. Before leaving, he had already decided that the focus of this attack would be the camp of the Otomo family. This time, the three large formations of the Luo family, the right wing is in charge of the camp of the Ouchi family, while the middle formation and the left wing of Masayo's are attacking the camp of the Otomo family with all their might. In addition, the team led by Shigemasa Yoshida is also the main camp in charge of the Otomo family.
In fact, it is not that Masarashi does not command the battle, in such a chaotic night, just like the problem encountered by Otomo Yoshikan, once the battle starts, Masarashi can only command the soldiers around him. Therefore, before leaving, Masahiro also carefully divided the detailed responsibilities of each lieutenant general. It's just that once you enter the battlefield, plus once you get enthusiastic, it's hard to say how many people remember their duties.
"Pop the chrysanthemum!"
As Zhengliang expected, since entering the battlefield, the Luo family's military formation has been completely chaotic. The soldiers who were able to kill were shouting strange slogans while chasing and killing the deserters of the Otomo family.
This slogan of "popping chrysanthemums" is a slogan of mutual recognition that has long been set in the army before going out into battle. Because once you get caught in the battlefield, you will inevitably not be able to see the opponent's clothing right away from the darkness and firelight, and you can't immediately identify the enemy by just the white strips of cloth on your arms. And as long as you shout "burst chrysanthemum", you can immediately identify the enemy or the enemy.
On the battlefield at this time, both sides were caught in a scuffle. It's just that the Luo family plays the role of the chaser, while the Otomo family and the Ouchi family play the role of the hunted down. Although it was not the main force of the Luo family's army that entered the camp of the Ouchi family in this battle, one general was incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops. As the temporary chief general of the Ouchi family at this time, Sugi Xingyun's ability in internal affairs was significantly higher than his military ability, and when he was attacked by a fire ox, he actually left his men and fled directly, causing the entire battalion to be completely unable to organize resistance.
Since the Ouchi family's camp was close to the Chikugo River, many soldiers who were stuck to the camp fire ran directly to the shore of the Chikugo River, trying to douse the fire on their bodies with water. People are all profit-seeking and avoiding trouble, and with the herd mentality, it seems safer over there, so most of the people suddenly run to the shore of the Chikugo River. caused people to trample on people, and before the Luo family's army could attack, there were heavy casualties in the camp of the Ouchi family.
The most serious trampling was naturally the simple wooden bridge that connected the Ouchi family to the north and south banks of the Chikugo River, and both the generals and soldiers of the Ouchi family desperately squeezed onto this wooden bridge in an attempt to escape to the south bank of the Chikugo River. During this period, many people were squeezed directly into the Chikugo River, which was rolling westward.
It is estimated that the vast majority of the soldiers are peasant soldiers, and their mental quality is not up to par, and once they see that their side is about to lose, they hurriedly flee for their lives, which leads to so many rout battles. After several years of training and the experience of war, the military strength of the Luo family has gradually evolved in the direction of a real war weapon, so although this battle is at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, it has played the role of a chaser from beginning to end.
After several battles, the dawn sun finally appeared on the horizon. The clarity on the battlefield is also getting higher. A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the smell of blood. It's a bloody dawn.
