Chapter 33: Annihilation
Soon after Tadajiro left, he led six of the original bandits of the cottage to Masayo to surrender. In order to stabilize these people, Masarashi arranged for Tadajiro and Kosuke to still be responsible for leading these people. After a while, Tsuda Hiromune also led more than twenty people to arrive. At first, the few new bandits who joined were a little despised for this new lord who seemed to be only seven or eight ashigaru, but after seeing more than twenty ashigaru with neat steps, they immediately secretly wiped their sweat, secretly thinking that they were lucky that they didn't show their contempt just now.
Now that everyone has arrived, Zhengliang immediately convened a temporary assessment. Masarashi briefly introduced the newly joined Tadajiro, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Let's see what we should do next?" ”
Onishi Kuniji lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then took the lead and said, "Your Highness, now that we have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and now that the two groups of bandits are killing each other, there will definitely be damage, we can take the opportunity to attack suddenly while they are fighting each other to the bottom of the line." ”
"Your Highness, Your Majesty agrees with the opinion of the Kokuji-sama", Tsuda Hiromune saw Masayo's inquiring gaze and quickly agreed. Zhengliang felt very helpless, this guy only knows how to fight and kill, and he doesn't like to use his brain.
"What do you think?" , Masarashi looked at Kosuke and Tadajiro again.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty also agrees with the opinion of Kuniji-sama", Kosuke hurriedly expressed his opinion, in his opinion, the best way to do without taking risks is to do so.
"Your Highness, the Oishi family is located on the west side of the cottage, and originally only occupied the area on the west side of the cottage. This afternoon, Banshi Sasaburo rebelled against Oishi Noji's subordinate Matsuzo as an internal response, and led his subordinates to suddenly attack the seven bandits who stayed in the Oishi family.
This bald guy obviously disapproves of Onishi Guozhi's strategy, his reason is very simple, that is, the remaining personnel of the Oishi family will soon be defeated, and if we attack again at that time, the victorious Banshi Saburo will be able to meet it with all his might. However, Tadajiro did not want to directly oppose the opinions of the old ministers of the Luo family at the first evaluation meeting, thus offending Onishi Kuniji, so he simply only reported the actual situation and did not express his opinions on the next step. Masara looked at Tsuda Hiromune, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, both of them are bald, why are their personalities so different?
"Your Highness, if this is the case, we need to immediately besiege the two bandits so that we will not be able to deal with us with all our strength after the victory of Banishi Sazaburo's side", after listening to Tadajiro's opinion, Onishi Kuniji also found the problem and immediately suggested.
"Well, okay, that's all. Guozhi, you immediately choose to leave a spear to stay here, and be sure not to let anyone leave this cottage", Masato ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness", Onishi Kuniji took the order and left.
"The rest of the people are with me, and your men are in charge of leading the way," Masarashi continued.
"Yes, Your Highness", Tadajiro had no objection to this order, it was true that only they were familiar with the road situation at present, not to mention that there were two of them who were closely watching the situation of the two bandits.
As the order to assemble was given, the ranks quickly gathered. Onishi Kuniji led six spear ashigaru to stay, and the rest were divided into three teams, Tadajiro and Tsuda Hiromune led the bow and arrow ashigaru in front of the way, Kosuke led six new Hara bandits in the middle, and Masara led the spear ashigaru to walk behind the most ashiga, and the team of more than 30 people quickly marched along the path in the cottage.
There are many houses along the road, and according to Tadajiro, these are the residences of the people in the cottage, and after the bandits fight, these people have fled to the town outside the cottage. Now the rest of the cottage, except for some subordinates who have no time to escape, are basically die-hard members of the bandits inside the cottage. …,
More than twenty minutes later, the team stopped in front of several small mud huts, and Tadajiro hurried over, "Your Highness, the two people we left here have reported that they are about to decide the winner, and at least five of the people left behind by the Oishi family have been killed, and two people from the Banshi Saburo side have also died. ”
"Okay, immediately surround the courtyard, Hiromune, you are in charge of the main gate, Tadajiro you are in charge of the right side, and Kosuke you are in charge of the left side. In addition, Tadajiro sent two men to keep an eye on the surrounding walls, and if they found someone climbing over the wall and escaping, they would report it immediately. ”
"Yes, Your Highness", the three of them immediately took the order and left.
The team had just set up a formation in front of the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly there was a burst of arrogant laughter from inside, "Ha Lu haha, thin man, how are you going to run this time?" ”
"Hmph, you wait for Lord Oishi to come back and take revenge, you will regret it, Songsan, you damn guy, you betrayed Lord Oishi?"
"Hahaha, those two fathers and sons treated me like an ant, beat and scolded me at will, and almost killed me this morning, why should I work for him?" , this should be that Songsan's reply.
"Don't talk nonsense, thin man, take your life, kill", the arrogant laughter just now interrupted their conversation, shouting.
"Keng", "Keng"...... Several weapons clashed in the courtyard.
"Ahh Your Excellency, you go quickly", a scream, shouted in an unfamiliar voice.
"Yamato? Damn, I'll avenge you. ”
"Don't let him go, chase after him", the arrogant voice sounded again.
Then there was a rush of footsteps towards the gate. Soon a figure appeared from the gate, just as this person was about to rush to the road, he suddenly found that he was pointed at dozens of spears in front of him, and he was immediately startled, and before he came back to his senses, he tripped over the obstacle placed by Kosuke at the gate, and Tadajiro quickly led someone to tie up the fallen embarrassed guy. At this time, the embarrassed guy found out who was the person who tied him up, and let out an angry shout, "Tadajiro? You guy turned out to be one of theirs? ”
Tadajiro didn't look at the tied guy with his eyes, but looked at Masarashi for instructions on what to do next. Masarashi nodded, motioning for Tadajiro to stuff the visitor's mouth and drag him down.
At this time, the pursuers also arrived.
The first thing that appeared was a big man with a big blade and thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was obviously also frightened by the situation at the door, and suddenly stopped at the threshold of the gate, and the people behind him also appeared one after another, and soon blocked the door. Zhengliang glanced at the gang of bandits in front of him, there were five people in total, and everyone was injured to varying degrees, it seemed that the battle just now was very fierce.
"Kosuke?" , There was an exclamation from the crowd of bandits at the door, and Zhengliang followed the prestige, it was a guy about 21 years old. When I looked closely, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, and it was the guy who robbed me with Kosuke at the beginning, Sakashi Saburo.
"Hahaha, Kosuke, do you see, we captured Oishinoji's lair, and we will be able to rescue the crane soon",
Saburo Banshi immediately laughed when he recognized Kosuke.
Kosuke didn't respond to Sasaburo Banshi, but looked at Sazaburo Banshi like he was looking at an idiot, his face full of sneers.
"Kosuke, what do you mean? Could it be that after two days of going down the mountain, the wings hardened? Seeing that Kosuke not only didn't take care of him, but even looked at him with a sneer, he suddenly became angry and pointed at Kosuke and shouted. At this time, not only did Kosuke look at Sasaburo Banshi with the eyes of an idiot, but even everyone else completely regarded him as an idiot, and I really couldn't understand how he plotted against Oishinoji's men, and he almost won a big victory under the surprise attack.
The scene fell silent. …,
"Cheng", Masahiro gently pulled out the Tai Blade Knife, and his left hand gently stroked the sword body like a lover, and the snow-white sword body shone in the sun.
Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and looked at Masayo.
"Is that you?" , several exclamations rang out from the crowd of bandits at the door at the same time. Most of the exclamations were because they saw the blade in Masayo's hand. This blade is the original Oishi Dairo's favorite knife. Several people who were familiar with this knife remembered that terrible night, that terrible swordsman. If you look closely at the person with the knife, it is suddenly the devil of that night, so they all exclaim loudly. And another exclamation was made by Sbanshi Zuo Saburo, there were too many people just now, plus Masahiro's face was smeared with black ash, so he didn't recognize Masaburo for a while, and now when his eyes were focused on Masahiro, he found that this guy was the guy who took Xingsuke down the mountain to "hunt" when he was bored that day, and then snatched up his own things, thinking of the torture of this guy that day, Slate Saburo couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"When old friends meet, I'll give you something first", Masarashi smiled slightly, and then nodded to Tsuda Hiromune beside him. After receiving the order, Tsuda Hiromune threw the rag package he was carrying in his hand forward, and the rag package rolled in front of the bandit and then spread out, and a round thing rolled out from it, which was the head of the big Ishino II treated with white ash, and saw the head with a blur of flesh and blood in his eyes, even a few thieves who were murderous couldn't help but shudder, and the whole person seemed to be in the winter wind and snow.
"Ah, that's ...... That's Oishinoji," one of the bandits whispered in a trembling voice.
"How about it, it's enough friends, as soon as we meet, we will get rid of a mortal enemy for you", Masato slowly walked out of the crowd. These are all experiences, seeing these people in front of him, Zheng Liang thought in his heart. I haven't experienced a decent battle so far this afternoon, so my own experience has not increased, and seeing that today's battle is about to end here, Masara has no choice but to seize this first opportunity to earn some experience.
Seeing that the lord was going to fight alone, Onishi Kuniji, who was behind Masara, immediately prepared to dissuade, but his lips moved, and he didn't speak in the end, after all, it was not appropriate to dissuade the lord on such an occasion, otherwise it would damage his majesty and cause him to be angry. Moreover, if the lord wins this time, he will be able to establish an invincible image in the eyes of everyone, and his prestige will be greatly enhanced.
"So, let's start the game", Masarashi deliberately repeated the original words of that night, in order to arouse the terrible memories of these bandits, and to hit the confidence of the bandits to fight to the death from the heart, and affect their psychology.
"Ahh , sure enough, the big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes couldn't stand the stimulation, and took the lead in shouting, raising his knife and rushing towards Zhengliang. Masarashi leaned lightly to the side, easily dodging the attack. Hmph, it's good, it's just that you need to be chopping and chopping like you without brains, Zhengliang was secretly happy in his heart, and then said silently, "cut down", the figure flashed, from the side of the thick-eyed and big-eyed man who had not yet stood firm due to the excessive strength, and at the moment when Zhengliang regained his footing, the thick-eyed and big-eyed man behind him suddenly paused, and then the head slipped off his neck, and the headless body kept spurting blood outward, and the scene was bloody, as if forming a Shura field.
"Ah, with Six," exclaimed from the bandits. The gang of thieves who had just surrendered, including Tadajiro, also had straight eyes, and with just one knife, they solved the six who chased and killed Oishi Daro's gang and fled in embarrassment, is this a person, this is really the devil.
Just when everyone was shocked, Masahiro attacked again. The figure flashed, and he silently thought again in his heart, "continuous slashing", and the figure instantly rushed to the front of the crowd of bandits. …,
"Ah, ah, ah", before he could react, several screams immediately sounded in the group of bandits, and several bandits who were still in shock screamed and fell to the ground, they were either stabbed in the arm or thigh. Before Banshi Zuozaburo could figure out what was going on in front of him, he found that there was a long knife with liquid on his neck, and his legs suddenly became weak, and he fainted all of a sudden.
In this way, Masahiro took advantage of the moment of panic of the bandits to make a surprise attack and easily solve the battle.
"Tadajiro, tie them up", Masarashi pinched his nose and ordered Sasaburo Banshi, who had fallen to the ground with his lower clothes soaked with urine. This guy is still so speechless.
Immediately afterwards, Masato tore off a few pieces of clothing on a thief's body and rubbed it clean while assigning the aftermath work. Kosuke is in charge of cleaning up the site and the yard of Oishi's family. Tsuda Hiromune, under the leadership of Tadajiro, conducted a comprehensive inventory of the situation of the cottage, focusing on the residence of Banshi Dairo, and gathered all the people in the cottage in front of the gate of the cottage. Before leaving, Masara strictly ordered Tadajiro to restrain his subordinates, strictly forbidden to harass anyone except bandits, and strictly forbidden to swallow up finances without permission, and once discovered, there was no forgiveness. I just saw a perverted performance by Masayo, and Tadajiro, who was still in a cold sweat, dared to disagree, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
After the most relent, Masayo asked people to inform the gate of the cottage that Onishi Kuniji would lead people to gather the people in the towns outside the cottage to the open space at the gate of the cottage, and Togo Heiji under the mountain immediately led the patrol team to the mountain to meet.
The order was issued, and everything began to proceed in an orderly manner. And Masahiro also walked slowly into the courtyard.
