Chapter 346: The Eagle's Claws

On June 11, 1541, the army gathered by the Shao Er family officially marched to the Luo family.\\

After leaving Lu Jiaocheng, Shao Erdong Shang rode on a horse and walked heroically in the ranks of the army. This time, there were more than 400 people in the main formation of the Shao Er family who followed him. Among them were an ape musician and a Tian musician, and even a few women who were in charge of serving Shao Er Dongshang. As a former top powerhouse and deeply influenced by Kyoto culture, these things that embody the noble and aristocratic qualities are indispensable.

The army marched all the way. In the villages they passed along the way, the villagers took refuge in their homes and closed their doors. For them, these guys who show off their might outside are intruders, for fear that those guys will break into their homes and do evil.

The Rokkaku River is a huge river that flows through the two counties of Kishima and Kojo. The banks of the river were covered with farmland, and at the same time, roads were built, which provided a convenient way for the army to advance.

The army arrived at Shiraishi Town, near the Rokkakugawa River, in the evening. At this time, Naohide Hirai, the new head of the Hirai family, who had already led the army to escort the food of the feast, came to the front of Shao Er Dongshang.

"Woooooo As soon as he saw Shao Er Dongshang, Hirai Naohide knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Please guard the lord for the master of the family, the brother of the subordinate was killed by the little child of the Luo family, this time the guardian lord personally led the righteous division to come, please be sure to seek justice for the brother of the minister." "Hirai Naohide's brother Hirai Keiji was killed in the last night battle against the Luo family, and Hirai Naohide hated the Luo family to the core. In addition, Shao Er Dongshang personally destroyed the Longzoji family that had been invading the Hirai family, and Hirai Naohide was grateful to the Shao Er family, and this time he planned to do his best to help the Shao Er family.

Shao Erdongshang comforted Hirai Naohide with kind words, and then asked, "Has there been any movement in the Luo family recently?" ”

"The Luo family has already panicked in the face of the pressure of the army of the guardians, and there is no other abnormal action except for restarting the construction of an abandoned earth barrier in the mountain road." Naohide Hirai immediately replied.

"Hahaha, the children of the Luo family are not afraid!" Shao Erdong still laughed when he heard this.

That night, after receiving the food provided by the Hirai family and a large number of women, the coalition army burst into laughter. In the military tent of the young family. Even the performance is ape music.

Almost everyone agreed that this attack on the Luo family would definitely lead to a big victory.

Just when there was joy and peace in the coalition camp, on the other side of the coalition army's river, Masayo was listening to the Black Hawk's return.

"How's the situation on the other side?"

"My lord, the guards of the enemy camp seem to be loosely guarded. We had touched the edge of the camp. The guards on the other side didn't even notice it. ”

"Very good, tonight, I'll let the other party see the martial arts of our family!" Masarashi nodded and said, "Order, start attacking." "During the daytime. Masara and the others hid nearby, and now with the light of the fire from the coalition camp, everyone came here.

The herald who received the order immediately went down to give the order.

"Fire Bolt, prepare!" Date Masahiro and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately ordered.

More than fifty archers immediately set fire to the arrows.

A sudden flash of fire appeared in the dark wilderness in the distance, causing the guards of the coalition camp to pay attention. and immediately reported to the owners of the family who were having fun.

"What, send someone to check it out immediately!" Realizing that something was wrong, Shao Erdong Shang immediately ordered.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up at the night sky. I saw that dozens of meteors suddenly appeared in the sky on the left side of the camp. After gliding through the starry sky for a while, the meteor suddenly shot into the camp.

"Not good, enemy attack!" Now even fools can see what kind of meteors are there, they are clearly some burning objects, and the target is their own camp.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" fire bolts flew into the camp. Some of the fire bolts had been extinguished in the air, but some that had not been extinguished were ignited directly into the tents in the camp. There were even some unlucky ghosts who couldn't dodge and were shot by the fire arrows, letting out a scream.

It's already early summer, plus it's hot. The fire in the tent burned at once.

"Quick, one team will go to extinguish the fire, and the other team will immediately go out of the camp to meet the enemy army who are sneaking up!" Lai Zhou, who recovered first, shouted. This time. He couldn't care about the order of the lord and the minister anymore.

"Yes, put out the fire immediately. Meet the enemy now! Shao Erdong Shang also reacted.

With the order given

And Masahiro, who was in the distance, smiled slightly when he saw the chaos in the enemy camp. It's all under his control.

In fact, as early as daytime, Masahiro led people to monitor the movements of the coalition forces throughout the process. After determining the location of the coalition army's night camp, Masara decisively summoned the sneak attack troops hiding in the nearby mountains and forests, and then decided on a plan for tonight's sneak attack.

The sneak attack team was divided into several teams, and according to the route set by Masayo, they took advantage of the night to arrive at the designated position through the guidance of the camp's firelight, and then Masara took the lead in attacking.

However, this is the first part of Zhengliang's sneak attack plan. After several rounds of fire attacks, the enemy finally assembled a group of several hundred men and began to make their way to the opposite bank. Since there were no ships, they couldn't kill the other side of the shore at all, so their goal was clear, which was to shoot at Masayo's team. Although most of them use bows and arrows such as bamboo bows and strong bows, there are also a small number of people who use bows, so if they do shoot at each other, Masayo's side will also be attacked.

"Extinguish the torch. Follow the original route! Just as the enemy army was rushing in with torches, Masara gave the order to secretly transfer.

The sudden change made the coalition lose its goal all at once. Some angry guys simply ran straight to the shore and shot at the darkness on the opposite bank.

"Ha Luha, Your Highness has succeeded over there!" Just as the shore of the Rokkaku River was bustling with activity, not far from the side of the coalition camp near the direction of the logistics team, Hondajun was snickering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether this night attack is successful or not, it will be up to us next!" Toshimasa Honda said, "Ready, fire arrow!"

With Honda Toshimasa's order, a team of hundreds of people stood behind him. Here are most of the archers of the Luo family's battle against the Shao Er family's coalition this time. And they are the main force of this sneak attack.

The first target of tonight's sneak attack was the coalition army's logistics team, and the plan was as follows: first Masarashi's team would launch an attack to draw the enemy's attention to the banks of the Rokkaku River, and then this real main force would carry out a sneak attack.

In fact, the coalition forces have also considered the situation that they will be attacked, so when arranging the camp, the logistics team is also arranged on the side close to the direction of Lujiacheng, and a lot of checkpoints are arranged on the right side of the coalition army, the purpose is to prevent someone from sneaking around the main camp to the rear camp. It's a pity that they have no idea that the troops of the Luo family have long been hidden in the nearby mountains and forests. Those warning posts are now equated with a fictitious outpost. And although many people have night blindness, under the guidance of the fire in the coalition camp, it is no problem to touch the vicinity.

"Launch!" Honda Jun shouted. Since he took refuge in the Luo family, he has been reused, so at this time, he seems to be in high spirits.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" The fire bolts shot like meteors towards the place where the grain and grass were piled up in the rear camp.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! At this time, the soldier in charge of guarding the perimeter finally noticed the fire arrows coming from the sky, and immediately opened his throat and shouted.

"Ahh Ah...... "It's just that such an early warning is obviously a bit late, and many people are shot before they can react."

"The grain and grass are on fire, put out the fire!" Someone suddenly burst into a big shout.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" The second round of fire bolts was fired again. Many people who were about to extinguish the fire were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, fooled!" Even the young Erdongshang, who had limited ability, heard the movement of the rear camp and knew that he had fallen victim to the sound of the sneak attacker, and immediately shouted.

The coalition forces that reacted immediately transferred the troops that had been transferred to the banks of the Rokkaku River back to the rear camp.

"Gone? Ladies and gentlemen, once again show the enemy the prowess of what we are waiting for! Seeing that the number of torches on the other side had decreased significantly, the sneak attack of the rear camp of Zhilu Dao attracted the other party to transfer away from the soldiers guarding the shore, so he immediately led the team to start attacking.

Just as the team led by Masaro and Toshimasatoshi Honda attacked, the teams of Kato Danzo, Ueda Shinji, Hidan, Uemura Honzuna, Tetsunosuke, Ahri and others scattered around the camp also began to move. They took turns harassing the coalition camps by means of archery, gongs and drums.

On this night, the Eagle of Matsuura showed its claws. Masahiro made full use of some of the tactics of harassment, guerrilla warfare, and fatigue warfare in later generations, so that the coalition forces were exhausted and miserable all night.

The long night finally ended, and in the early morning, Shao Erdongshang listened to the return of Lai Zhou of the horse farm with dark eyes.

"My lord, last night our army killed a total of 36 people and injured 251 people, most of these people were accidentally injured by their own people in the chaos, and the most serious loss was grain and grass, half of which was burned." Racecourse Lai Zhou said with a grim face.

"The children of the Luo family are too deceitful!" Shao Erdongshang said with angry eyes. He didn't realize that he was only in his twenties, and he had been severely taught a lesson by what he called a child.

"Lord Guardian, please calm your anger, most of the army are improvised peasant soldiers, and it is inevitable to cause a stampede when there was chaos last night." Kamidai Shengli immediately said: "And even after the loss of these troops, there are still nearly five thousand people in the army, but in fact, the impact on the family is limited. The biggest problem now is the burned grain and grass, and the loss of grain and grass will greatly affect the morale of the soldiers. ”

"Pass the order down, let the nearby local tyrants and landowners pay the grain and grass immediately!" Shao Erdong said without thinking about it.

"Yes!" There is no disagreement with the people.

On the day that Shao Er Dongshang gave the order, Zhengliang also got the news, and immediately had an idea, and hurriedly let people spread rumors everywhere, hyping up the brutal deeds of the Shao Er coalition army, and at the same time dividing the sneak attack team into several units, preparing to sneak attack the grain transportation team of Shao Er's family.
