Chapter 129: Autumn Wind Strike (2)

At the same time as Masarashi and Akasaka Tokitaka fought wits and courage. In the soil and rock of the Dongshan family at the foot of Shigao Mountain, two little maids are changing the dressing for the injured calf of the head of the Dongshan family.

The wound on his calf was stabbed by the opposing samurai during the last sneak attack on Akasaka's house, and if he hadn't reacted in time, his life would have been confessed in that battle. Although they escaped with their lives in the end, the three allied forces suffered heavy losses in that battle, and three samurai were killed in the Higashiyama family alone. Such a loss was already unbearable for the Higashiyama family, who only had 100 townspeople. In fact, it is a bit of an exaggeration to call the Higashiyama family, the Kawachi family, and the Guan Mu family a strong man, even if these local tyrants mobilized the whole town, regardless of the old and young, they could only gather dozens of men each, if the three families were not united and firmly controlled the favorable defensive terrain, they would have been annexed by the Akasaka family long ago. Maybe the Akasaka family has not gone all out to deal with these little tyrants, but it is also because the forcible attack will cause large losses, even after the attack, it will not increase much income, and it is really worth the loss, so these little tyrants have been allowed to survive so far.

At noon on August 14, the sun was fierce, and the townspeople, who had been working in the fields all morning, returned home to prepare their luncheon meals. There was silence at the gate of the earth and rock of the Dongshan family, and a foot light guarding the door of the earth and rock was bored and leaned on the edge of the earth wall and dozed off. Originally, there were two ashigaru guards here, but the other ashigaru had secretly returned to his field to harvest grain at the moment, and according to the agreement, he would come back in the afternoon to replace the current ashigaru. If it was in the past, these two ashigaru really didn't dare to do this, but recently the lord was injured in the calf and couldn't come out to inspect, plus everyone has been busy with the autumn harvest recently, and few townspeople come at this time, so the ashigaru guarding the gate has also relaxed.

At this time, two townsfolk dressed as farmers came out of a forest and quickly approached the gate of Tsuchiwa while no one was looking.

"Who?" When the two farmers were about to approach the gatekeeper, they woke each other up.

"Lord Samurai, the little one has something urgent to report to the lord!" One of the peasants immediately nodded and said.

"Huh?" Awakened in a blur, the doorkeeper Ashigaru was originally very annoyed, but when he saw the other party respectfully calling himself a samurai, he immediately lost most of his anger, "Important news? What's the big news? By the way, why haven't I met you? At this time, the goalkeeper Ashigaru was completely awake.

"Lord Samurai, the little one belongs to the Kawachi family, and the lord of the family asked the little one to come and report important news to the lord here," the peasant immediately said respectfully.

"What's the important news?" The gatekeeper swayed lightly on the frame of a samurai and said smugly.

"Samurai-sama, this news cannot be said casually," said the peasant, pretending to be serious.

"Huh?" The goalkeeper Ashigaru was a little upset.

"Samurai-sama, this news can't be known to others, I'm going to talk about the Akasaka family...", seeing that the gatekeeper Ashigaru was dissatisfied, the peasant immediately became frightened, gritted his teeth, and had to whisper.

"What happened to the Akasaka family?" As soon as I heard the news about the Akasaka family, the gatekeeper Ashigaru immediately became nervous, "Say it quickly." "I've been fighting the Akasaka family for a long time, and the people here will definitely get nervous when they hear the news that it's the Akasaka family.

The farmer walked to the side of the gatekeeper Ashigaru, turned his head to look around, and then whispered, "Samurai-sama, that's the case...", and before the farmer could finish speaking, he suddenly reached out and covered Ashigaru's mouth, and his other hand was holding Ashigaru's hands.

At the same time, another farmer, who had been silent, pulled out a broken arrow with an arrow from his bosom, walked quickly to Ashigaru's side, and plunged it into Ashigaru's neck. Ashigaru let out a muffled scream, struggled a few times, and finally slowly collapsed. …,

The moment Ashigaru fell, a team of hundreds of people rushed out of the woods that the two peasants had originally drilled, led by Tadajiro. As early as August 13, the team led by Tadajiro joined up with Shingoro and others, who were in charge of opening the forest path, and after resting in the forest for the night, they lurked in the early morning of August 14, while the townspeople had not yet gotten out of bed and there were few pedestrians on the road. Then according to the unique code of the Luo family, he found the Luo family detective who was lurking nearby, and asked the detective to pass the latest news back to the lord. After the detective left, Tadajiro waited for the opportunity to attack according to Masara's original plan. When he saw that the doorkeeper Ashigaru walked one and the other was dozing off, the time had come, and he immediately asked people to approach the doorkeeper Ashigaru according to the plan, so there was the scene just now.

After the team arrived at the gate of the earth and rock, Tadajiro divided the team into two teams, and then shouted, "According to the plan, one team will immediately control the town, and it is now noon, and the townspeople are basically at home, and the townspeople are strictly ordered not to go out, otherwise there will be no forgiveness; The other team killed me. After saying that, he led one of the troops to kill the earth and rock. The other team rushed to the town according to the plan.

"Enemy attack! When Tadajiro rushed into the rock with his troops, the people inside knew that the road had been attacked, and some of the men began to resist vigorously. This time, Masara specially allocated 20 standing ashigaru and 10 low-level samurai to Tadajiro, these troops are equipped with the new purchase of the Luo family, in the face of absolute strength, the resistance of these men is futile, half an hour later, the Luo family has cleared the earth and rock, poor head of the Higashiyama family, even if he escaped in the last battle, he will not escape the fate of being killed in the end.

"My lord, all the places in the rock have been searched several times, and it is confirmed that there is no problem. All the men were killed, and the women were kept under centralized guard," a samurai reported. In order to quickly clear the earth and rock, he had to kill all the men in one fell swoop, in the troubled times, this is also commonplace, and those innocent men who died can only blame themselves for being unlucky, but at this moment in the rock.

"My lord, the town was also brought under control, and although it caused a brief riot, it was quickly brought under control. Now the townspeople have gone back to their homes," said another samurai.

"Okay, gather the team and get ready to go. Shingoro, I'll leave it to you here" Tadajiro was pleased with the speed at which the war was progressing. The two samurai took the order and left.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task given to me by the head of the family," Shingoro said, puffing up his chest. According to the plan, after capturing the residence of the Shimohiyama family, more than a dozen hunters led by Shingoro will be responsible for guarding it.

After leaving ten peasant soldiers to patrol the town while announcing the fact that the Higashiyama family had been destroyed by the Luo family, Tadajiro led the remaining 120 troops to kill the Kawachi family.

Hanoi's house is actually only a mile away from Dongshan's house, and it is only a short time away. At this moment, outside the soil and rock where the house is located in Hanoi, the cooking smoke is billowing, and the farmers in the town are cooking.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack... Hurry up and close the gate" The guards of the Hanoi family are much more dedicated than the Dongshan family, and they found the rapidly approaching Luo family's troops from a distance, although I don't know why such a large-scale unknown force suddenly appeared in the road, but looking at the other party's appearance, it is not good.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" more than a dozen arrows shot at the two ashigaru guarding the gate.

The 10 samurai who came this time were all skilled in using bows and arrows, and when they were more than 200 meters away from the gate, they began to shoot with bows (with a range of about 200 to 400 meters). The training amount of shooting at least 200 arrows a day was very effective, and the two ashigaru who were turning and running into the earth and rock fell to the ground in response, screaming and screaming, and just blocked the gate. …,

The samurai and the archers kept shooting arrows at the gate, and although the people inside noticed the attacking enemy, they did not dare to risk closing the gate when they saw the tragic situation of the two gatekeepers who were shot down. When several men rushed towards the gate quickly while holding wooden planks to resist the arrows, the vanguard of the Luo family's troops had already killed the enemy.

Tadajiro in the "killing" crowd shouted, not that he didn't want to run in the front, but that his speed couldn't be compared with these standing guards who ran every morning, so he had no choice but to take those full peasant soldiers to wave the flag and shout in the back. The man in the rock also came out with a weapon, and the sound of killing at the gate of the earth rock shook the sky in an instant.

With the arrival of the Luo family's successor team, the resistance in the soil and rock was suppressed, and the Luo family's troops completely occupied the gate.

"The head of the Hanoi family was courted by me" In the scuffle, a samurai of the Luo family raised a head and shouted.

In fact, this samurai didn't know if the person he killed was really the head of the Hanoi family, since the other party was so brightly dressed, he must be a big man, so he shouted it out first.

Upon hearing that the head of the family had been killed, the few men immediately collapsed (due to the autumn harvest and the fact that some people were sent to guard the border checkpoints of the territory, there were not many people in the earth and rock), some of them scattered and fled into the earth and rock buildings, and some of them simply surrendered. What these people don't know is that a merciless slaughter awaits them.

Eventually, at the cost of minor injuries to three peasant soldiers, the soil and rock of the Hanoi family were captured. The method of purging is the same as the method of dealing with the Dongshan family. After cleaning up a little, leaving 10 peasant soldiers to guard and maintain order in the town, Tadajiro led the rest of the men to kill the Kanmu family, which was half a mile away.

When the Luo family besieged the Hanoi family, the Guan Mu family had already received the news that the Hanoi family had been attacked by the enemy. The problem is that after receiving the news that the Akasaka family was attacked, the head of the Guan Mu family happened to have taken people to the border to understand the situation, and he tried to fish in troubled waters to see if he could find some benefits from it.

As a result, the dragons were leaderless and missed the opportunity to support the Hanoi family. What's even more incredible is that when he saw more than 100 soldiers of the Luo family rushing to kill, the young master of the Guan Mu family actually hid in the mountains with a thin soft, and everyone in the Guan Mu family was in an uproar, and then they also escaped from the earth and rock, some of them hid back home, and some of them resolutely followed the demeanor of the young master and also hid in the surrounding mountains and forests. As a result, Tadajiro effortlessly controlled the soil and rocks and the town of the Kanmu family. At this point, the nest of the three local tyrants was completely occupied under the sudden sneak attack of the Luo family behind the back.

After the inventory was completed, Tadajiro did not have time to search for the remnants of the Guanmu family scattered in the mountains and forests, and after leaving 30 peasant soldiers to guard the soil and rock, he took the remaining 10 samurai, 20 standing ashigaru and 50 peasant soldiers to the border of the three joint defenses again.

There are now only 20 people at the border of the three joint defenses, which is enough to defend against the Akasaka family's attack. With the fortified earthen wall that had been built several times, 20 men were enough to slow down the oncoming attack and wait for the arrival of the three coalition forces. However, this time, the previously impregnable earthen wall did not defend against a sudden attack from behind, and 20 people, including the head of the Guan Mu family, were all killed in the end, for which the Luo family paid the price of several injuries.

After simply clearing the battlefield and dealing with the wounded, Tadajiro set foot on the territory of the Akasaka family.
