Chapter 178: Long Barrel Gorge

"Your Highness's Divine Arrow!" In the woods more than a hundred meters away from the hill where the new guards were, Masara put down the bow in his hand. The retainers behind him immediately whispered praise.

Zhengliang secretly said that he was lucky, but his face was full of confidence, as if such a thing was simply easy. When everyone saw Zhengliang's demeanor, their admiration in their hearts increased a lot.

"Your Highness, as you expected, the people in the city rushed out." At this time, Yinuo walked quickly to report. There was excitement in the tone. Your Highness is really like a god.

"Very well, let the people in ambush in the woods make the noise a little louder, but remember not to engage the other side." Masara didn't want to lose his strength by rescuing a potential enemy, "Besides, have the traps set up in the mountain road?" ”。

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged." Behind him, Onishi Kuniji replied. When he followed Masato to deal with the bandits on the Nodakayama, he had already familiarized Onishi Kuniji with how to quickly use the terrain to set traps on the battlefield, "As long as they pass through that necessary road, they will definitely become fish in the net of their own family." ”

"Well, what's going on with Black Hawk?" Masarashi continued to ask.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency has arranged for personnel to take advantage of the chaos of the battlefield to approach the city, presumably the city will soon receive goodwill from my family." The leader of the Black Hawk replied.

Masarashi nodded in satisfaction. In fact, after receiving the news of the detective lurking in the Ishihara family, Masarashi immediately gathered his retainers to discuss and agreed that the Ishihara family could not be destroyed by the Yomiko family. Once the Ishihara family is destroyed, the Yomiko family can take advantage of the situation to integrate other branches that are weaker than the Ishihara family, so that the Yomiko family's power will be restored. What's more serious is that the Luo family's territory is about to border with the Huzi family's territory, and the two sides that have long been hostile to each other will inevitably have a new round of friction, which is not a good thing for the Luo family, which is preparing to bury itself in construction. So, after thinking about it again, Masashi decided to support the Ishihara family. And this support is still secretly supported first.

As early as the early morning of October 15th. Masarashi led 40 cloaks to cross Kamitsu, although the Ishihara family detective who was in charge of monitoring the Luo family discovered the Masara people, but they were subdued by the black hawks of the Luo family ninjas who had long been hidden aside. Masahiro surveyed the path in advance according to the detective. Secretly ambushed near the city, waiting for this time the two families will fight. It's not that Masahiro didn't think about taking advantage of the defeat of both families, and then taking the opportunity to occupy and fight Shangcheng, but after thinking about it. Or abandoned the idea. In the case of the two families, the Yoruko family is more likely to win in the end. Even if you take Ishihara Castle, you still need to face the hostility of the Huzi family and the Huzi family, which is a rotten ship and three catties of nails, and the Huzi family, which is not a favorable thing on the whole.

Because Yoko's house is farther away from the upper city. Therefore, when the Luo family's troops were ambushed, the Huzi family's troops had just reached the city of Shangcheng. The meritorious service was earnest, and he even tried to hit the Ishihara family, and a new guard who was caught off guard did not even arrange for the scout to take a detailed look at the surrounding terrain and directly launched the cage battle. This gives Zhengliang plenty of time to arrange calmly.

After waiting near the battlefield for half a day, Masara finally waited until the morale of the Huzi family's troops began to decline, and what made him even more overjoyed was that the guy from the new guard actually ascended to command, which gave Masara a chance to sneak attack. At such a distance, the average archer will shoot crookedly. But Masato is a master of archery. If an arrow is shot, there is at least a fifty percent chance of hitting the other party, and of course Masahiro will not let go of this opportunity. So there was the scene just now.

"Huh? Not good, there is an ambush nearby. A samurai of the Huko family shouted. Just as Masashi was intensively arranging an ambush for the Huzi family's troops, the battlefield of the Huzi family underwent earth-shaking changes. …,

"Raise the main flag, quick!" At this time, the new guards finally knew that they had been tricked. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not care about the severe pain in his arm and the danger of being attacked again. "Whoosh" crawled up, and shouted with all his throat open.

"Not good. The troops who fought the city have come out! In the midst of the chaos, someone shouted in the Huzi family's troops. The formation, which was already a little panicked, was really completely panicked this time.

From time to time, the cold arrows shot from the forest, the shouting and scolding of the new guards, the chaotic Huzi family's troops outside the castle, and the Ishihara family's guards rushing out of the castle...... This scene constitutes a picture of the melee under the city.

War, sometimes incomprehensibly, is incomprehensible. It was clear that the situation had prevailed in the first quarter of an hour, but in the next quarter of the hour, the situation changed dramatically. The strength of the Huzi family perfectly illustrates this sentence at this moment. Due to the need to leave the main combat force to stay in the territory, half of the Ishihara family's troops in this raider were temporarily recruited peasant soldiers. These peasants have no problem fighting a good fight, but once they get into trouble, they are a trigger for chaos. Under the suspicious tactics of the Luo family and the sudden opening of the Ishihara family, the Huzi family's army gradually collapsed, and at the end of the day, it evolved into a big escape. No matter how much the new guards who hurried down from the hill threatened, it was useless.

As a result, the Huzi family, which was in a good situation, was defeated. Most of the people fled back and forth along the road they came. In the end, even Shinbei became one of them. In the process of escaping, he had already thought of an excuse for defeat. It is said that Tomohisa Oishi, who was in charge of the small lotus, collaborated with the enemy and burned the grain and grass, which disturbed the morale of the army, resulting in being attacked by the ambush soldiers of the Ishihara family, and finally defeated.

The executioner who was capable of killing was willing to let go of such an opportunity, so he led more than 50 samurai to chase and kill all the way behind. He chased for nearly half a mile before he returned under the advice of the samurai.

And the Huzi family, who fled in embarrassment, are still running away.

"Quick, let people pull those guys who have run away back" Shinbei couldn't help but let out a long breath when he saw that the guys who were chasing after him finally left, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly asked the samurai around him to gather the scattered ashigaru and peasant soldiers.

The samurai around him hurriedly gave orders and reorganized the ranks.

"My lord, do you want to take a break?" A samurai suggested.

"Bastard, do you say you can rest here, the food and grass are gone, delay here again, and before the guys who hit the city attack again, we will starve to death, let's leave here quickly and return to the territory!" Shinbei yelled.

"My lord, if you don't rest, those peasant soldiers will run out!" The samurai said, gesturing to the team behind him.

Hearing this, the new guards looked around, and sure enough, they saw that those light feet and peasant soldiers were tired and out of breath, and if they didn't rest, it was estimated that it would cause public anger.

"Okay, take a break." The new guard said helplessly, "By the way, where is this?" ”

"My lord, there is the Long Barrel Gorge ahead." There were samurai around him who hurried to report.

"Hmph, it's really stupid to think that the guy who came to the Ishihara family is stupid, if this place is blocked, the family will not kill their castle so easily" Shinbei sneered. The Long Barrel Gorge is a small canyon with a long shape and the narrowest point is only a few meters, which can be described as an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and once the entrance and exit are closed, it is difficult for the people inside to get out. Of course, it's also hard for people from outside to get in.

The people around couldn't help but murmur to themselves when they heard this, are you embarrassed to say people, now you are not a big defeat and run away in a good situation?

While everyone was slandering, there was a commotion from inside the canyon. Then some of the peasants who had already entered the canyon seemed to be preparing to exit the canyon.

"Go and see what's going on?" Shinbei said. These guys left the battlefield without receiving orders, and now they have fled to the front, and the new guards plan to settle accounts with them when they return. …,

"My lord, it's not good!" The samurai, who had been ordered to go, stumbled back, "The exit of the canyon in front of you has been blocked, and there is a trap near the exit. ”

"What?" The new guard stood up with a "whoosh". He seemed to have something in mind.

"Kill, kill, kill" At this time, from the mountain road in the direction of the city, there were bursts of shouts and kills. Everyone looked back one after another, only to see that they didn't know when the road was, and there was an extra group of troops arranged in a staggered formation on the mountain road. The group was shouting neat slogans as they quickly approached the entrance to the canyon.

"Run!" Once again, the new guards used their adaptability and took the lead in burrowing into the bushes next to them. He already had a premonition that there would be a dead end in the canyon, and where to flee would only be to become a caged bird. Although the surrounding bushes are difficult to navigate, it is possible to escape through the canyon with some time.

With a shout from the new guards, the surrounding Huzi family troops scattered and fled, some of them followed the new guards into the jungle, but more people chose the most direct mountain path ahead, and then rushed into the canyon. These people have not yet realized that the canyon has been turned into a cage. At the same time, the first people to enter the canyon have discovered the anomaly and are trying to get out of the canyon. As a result, the two teams collided and mingled on the inside of the entrance to the canyon.

"Kill, kill, kill" The Luo family troops led by Zhengliang took the opportunity to speed up their pace and quickly blocked the entrance to the canyon. The formation of dozens of people formed a gun array, blocking the entrance impenetrable.

When the people inside saw this, they immediately retreated inside.

"Shout at me inside, surrender and don't kill," Masara ordered. The canyon was also guarded around the canyon and the exits on the other side, and Masato was not at all worried that these people would be able to escape. The only worry is that the people inside will be trapped and forcibly attack their formation. What Zhengliang has to do now is to break their fighting spirit.
