Chapter 459: Ambush the Grain Delivery Team
Syllable!
"Xiba, you damned widows, don't you work hard for me!"
At the new site in Fukuoka Prefecture, North Korean overseers with whips and sticks patrolled the construction site from time to time, and when they saw those lazy Japanese laborers, they rushed straight up, raising their whips and sticks to beat them so badly that the Japanese laborers screamed and could only curl up on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The surrounding laborers looked at this scene, and they all turned their heads with some fear, they couldn't bear to look at it anymore, no one thought of resisting, and the strength of the Xia army made them dare not have the idea of resisting.
Ever since they were forcibly gathered by the army and sent here to work, they have been abused almost every day by the North Koreans, who have been holding on to their hatred in front of a jap, and have poured their anger on their innocent people.
If they are kind to them, they will go up the tree along the pole and get an inch, but if they try their best to bully them, they will be honest and lick their faces to catch up.
Not that every Japanese is like this, but at least in Tsukushi Province, most of the Japanese are like this, they almost lost their backbone under the tough bullets of the Korean overseers and the Xia army, groveling to the invaders, and trying their best to curry favor, which made many Xia army officers a little unbearable to look at directly.
Only the Korean overseers and the Korean officers and soldiers laughed and were complacent, and they took pleasure in bullying and molesting the Japanese laborers, and in general, they would bully the laborers in every way, but when the Xia army patrol passed by, they would immediately put on a straight face and salute the Xia army as if nothing had happened.
It can almost be said that in the entire Tsukushi Cloth Political Envoy Division, the social order was like a big fish eating a small fish, with the native aborigines being the lowest, the Korean officers and soldiers who were transferred from Korea to assist in maintaining law and order being the second, and the Xia army who conquered Kyushu Island by force was the highest.
From top to bottom, it's like big fish eating small fish, small fish eating dried shrimp, and dried shrimp eating mud...... It is not yet known.
However, while the Japanese civilian population generally accepted the fact that they were conquered by the Xia army, there were still some who did not want to accept it, to be precise, they did not want to accept the destruction of their vested interests.
Before the war, they were called samurai, but now, after the abolition of the feudal kingdom, their proud samurai status has become like a piece of waste paper that can be trampled on at will, as if they fell from the clouds in the sky to the ground at once, and the huge gap made them almost desperate to the point of losing control.
But they didn't cut themselves off because of this, to be precise, most of the samurai committed suicide after the destruction of the main family because of the so-called glory and bushido poison, and these survivors were not so hard bones, or they didn't want to die so easily.
Seeing that the Natsu wanted to take away their rightful benefits (which was the main thing) and oppress their compatriots to their heart's content (which was negligible), the samurai finally couldn't take it anymore and began to attack the patrols of the Xia army and the Korean army with the help of the complex terrain of Tsukushi Province, led by a samurai named Shimazu Mitsunari. ….
On the eighth day of the seventh month of the 11th year of Wu'an, in a small forest near Oguchi Castle in Satsuma Prefecture, Shimazu Mitsunari and nearly 100 samurai he had gathered were armed with katanas and spears, squatting behind dense bushes and quietly staring at the mountain road not far away.
After many days of observation, they discovered that a convoy of Korean officers and soldiers would send food and supplies from the north to the construction site of Dakou Castle, and since Dakou Castle could not find a suitable new site, they were asked to expand the walls and dwellings outward with the mountain fortress as the core, and build a county-level castle large enough to accommodate most of the residents of the Dakou Castle Domain.
The reason why they ambushed here was to rob precious food, and after the destruction of their respective masters, they became wandering samurai, wandering on the island of Kyushu, without a stable source of food, and had to rely on robbery to make a living.
Although this is different from their morality as samurai, now that the main family has been destroyed, and those samurai who preach morality are dying with them, no one asks them to preach any morality.
Just then, one finally emerged from a distance
The convoy consisted of dozens of wagons and more than 100 North Korean officers and soldiers, including the civilians who were responsible for driving the wagons and transporting them, perhaps they didn't think anyone would attack the convoy, and the North Korean officers and soldiers in charge of escorting them looked very scattered, they walked together in twos and threes and chatted, and some of them didn't even put on armor.
"A rabble."
Mitsunari Shimazu commented.
He was no ordinary samurai, as his name and surname were, he was a bloodline of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, the youngest brother of the Shimazu Clan, who committed suicide by breaking his belly, and after his son surrendered to the Xia army with his family members and defenders, he vowed to avenge his brother.
But he knows very well that he can't directly play the banner of the Shimazu family, there is an old Chinese saying, if he directly plays the banner of the Shimazu family, although he can attract more samurai to come to defect, but it will also usher in the attention and pressure of the Xia Dynasty government.
Therefore, until now, he has relied on his personal strength and charm to win over these samurai.
Unaware of the danger that was already on them from the shadows, the Korean officers and soldiers sat on horseback, but thought that after sending this grain to Oguchi Castle, they must go to the local Kabukicho town to feel the taste of Japanese women in southern Kyushu.
Just as he was thinking in his heart, Shimazu Mitsunari in the distance slowly raised his hand, and with his movements, dozens of samurai armed with longbows behind him pulled their bowstrings and aimed their arrows at the North Korean soldiers walking on either side.
As Shimazu Mitsunari's hand slammed into the void, the dozens of longbow warriors loosened their bowstrings, only to hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the Korean officers and soldiers walking on both sides were shot and killed in an instant.
A North Korean spearman who was talking to a friend was pierced through the neck by a sudden arrow, and the bloody arrow spurted out, splashing the face of the friend next to him with blood, and the friend's face suddenly became frightened, he opened his mouth and was about to scream, when an arrow flew from a distance, which actually pierced his mouth accurately and shot him down.
"Enemy attack—"
The North Korean officers and soldiers who were attacked suddenly fell into chaos, and the leading Korean hundred households saw this, and hurriedly drew their swords and shouted, "Array! Don't panic, cover the bird's hand to reload!" ….
At this moment, Shimazu Mitsunari in the dense forest stood up suddenly, raised his saber, and roared, "Charge! Kill them all!"
"Kill!"
In the dense forest on both sides, a group of Japanese samurai with swords held high rushed out, and they roared angrily towards the convoy on the mountain road, and the people in the convoy immediately ran away when the situation was not good, or simply got under the carriage, praying that no one would find themselves.
"Array! Meet the enemy!"
The North Korean soldiers on both sides hurriedly shrank inward, and they hurriedly raised their shields to cover themselves, while the soldiers armed with bird guns retreated to the innermost part in a panic, and hurriedly reloaded the bird guns with the help of the cover of carriages and friendly troops.
At this moment, the Japanese samurai had already rushed out of the dense forest and ran in front of the Korean soldiers, and Shimazu Mitsunari roared and kicked on the shield of the sword and shield hand in front of him, causing the latter to stagger back a few steps, and then he did not continue to entangle with the sword and shield man, but swung his saber and slashed hard at the chest of the unarmored spearman beside him.
The spearman screamed, blood gushed out from his chest, and he fell on his back, and Shimazu Mitsunari immediately landed on the ground and stood firm, waved his saber, and blocked the waist knife chopped by the sword shield hand head-on, and the blade slashed diagonally along the waist knife, forcing the knife and shield hand to quickly withdraw the waist knife, which was exactly what Shimazu Mitsunari wanted.
He took a few steps back and withdrew from the fight with the sword and shield man, who seemed to see that Shimazu Mitsunari was not special, and wanted to take the initiative to catch up, but ignored the enemy on his flank, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, a spear warrior came out from the side, a shot pierced him under the ribs, the sword and shield man screamed, and even the man and the shield were overthrown to the ground, and the spear warrior stepped on his body, and made up for it a few more times, stabbing him to death completely.
While the samurai were engaged in a battle with the Korean officers, the bird-swordsmen hiding inside finally finished loading, and they pulled the trigger on the fierce samurai with trembling hands, only to hear a few thudding sounds, and several samurai who were fighting screamed and fell to the ground.
A Korean bird gunner had just finished loading and was about to raise his gun to shoot, when he was about to pull the trigger, the Japanese people who had been forcibly recruited in the convoy suddenly attacked, and one of them pounced on the bird gunner, and at that moment of lightning, the gunfire rang out, but it hit the sky.
Caught defenseless, he was knocked to the ground, and the man swung his fist at his face with a fierce face, slamming his fist into his face while shouting in Japanese, "You damned North Koreans, die!" Eight Ga Ya Road!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a short knife pierced him in the abdomen, the tip of the knife penetrated the torso, protruding from the back, it turned out that the bird hand endured the pain of being beaten, grabbed the saber around his waist indiscriminately, and took the opportunity to stab the saber into the abdomen of the people, killing him back.
When the bird shackler got up from the ground in a daze, the surrounding situation was already in decline, and Hyakhe saw the ferocity of the Japanese army, panicked in his heart, and wanted to flee the battlefield alone, but the samurai archer did not give him a chance to escape, and shot him from the horse.
The escape and death of Hyakno, coupled with the sudden backlash of those Japanese people, the Korean officials and soldiers were almost one-sidedly slaughtered, and the bird saw with his own eyes that the robe that had been talking and laughing with him before was cut like a dead dog, and bled to death.
Seeing such a bloody scene, he suddenly came back to his senses, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but before he could run a few steps, a spear flying from behind pierced his torso directly, nailing him to the ground.
Tears.
