different warring states of japan

The ancients were often night-blind, and marching in the middle of the night was originally not an easy task.

Fortunately, most of the men's army is pampered and well-nourished. Those with good eyesight will go first, and those who follow will light more torches, so they are not afraid of getting separated.

Although this expedition was a surprise attack in the middle of the night, the cavalry did not consider hiding their whereabouts. The fire dragon in the dark traveled all the way west, quickly crossed the Daliu, and arrived at Nanliu Mountain, near Edogawa.

At this moment, in the area around the Edogawa River, there are also countless bonfires, which are as hot as the sun.

The farmers guarding the embankment were watching in horror at the ashigaru of the Satake Army, carrying hoes and other tools, trying to dig a hole in the embankment.

In the Guanyin Temple not far away, the servants of several local villages knelt and kowtowed in front of the retainers of Satake who led the troops to dig the embankment.

The leading servant begged bitterly.

"My lords, please forgive me!

Villagers in the countryside don't understand etiquette, if there is an offense, the villain is willing to compensate, and the money, food and head are according to the wishes of the adults, just don't dig dikes!

The floods in the spring floods are stronger than the floods in the summer. The winter wheat planted in late autumn is about to bear fruit and cannot be submerged. The spring rice that has just been planted cannot withstand the impact of the flood.

This flood, the whole year's harvest is over!I beg you adults to be merciful, no matter what request you have, we will agree! "

Looking at the ground attendants lying on the ground whining like old dogs, several Satake retainers also had a flash of unbearable in their eyes.

Guan Bazhou has been in war for a hundred years, not only the people are poor, but also the Wu family class is not happy.

Except for a few famous nobles, most Ji warriors had to go to the fields to work, and when the farming was busy to fight for time, the family governor also went to the fields to help.

At this time, what it meant to dig the dam, the few Satake retainers present knew very well, but they had to do it.

The families in the East have different ideas. Satake Yoshishige wanted to break through Xiaojincheng quickly, so he had to use such tricks as flooding, but others may not be willing to accept such an order.

Digging dikes in spring floods is harmful to nature and justice. This is a matter of mortal hatred.

Gao Cheng's family found out later that they must go crazy.The Chiba family behind the Gaocheng family, although the family has been weakening in recent years, has a deep foundation after all, and still has a status in the Xiazong Kingdom.

If you really want to stir up the common hatred of the samurai family in Xiazong Kingdom, the Xiazong platform is connected with Shimoye Kingdom and Hitachi Kingdom, and the plains can't prevent people from retaliation.

You bastards dig the dam of our Xia Zongwu's house, then we will retaliate with an eye and lead our troops to burn your village and trample on your seedlings.

When is it time to repay the grievances? Many generations of blood feuds of Wu families have been forged in this way, and no one has benefited in the end.

Satake Yoshishige is already jealous and determined to go her own way, but others are unwilling to do evil for her, so Satake's retainers can only do it themselves.

The local villagers cried together outside the monastery, the heads of several ground servants were knocked off, and the adobe bricks in front of the Buddhist hall were stained with blood.

Several Satake's retainers looked at the leading general together, a little hesitant.

Chief Satake's name is Xiaochang. Of course, she knows that she is taking on a nonsense task of giving birth to a daughter, but does she have a choice?Military orders are like mountains, and they can only be executed.

I saw her frowning, and said coldly.

"Noisy! Get all these troublemakers out of here!

What are you still hesitating on the other side of the embankment? Excavate immediately!If they can't open their mouths before dawn, and can't see the water flowing over the mountains, I want their heads! "

The leading servant was Ji Wushi, the most prestigious warrior in the nearby villages. When she heard Xiaochang's order, her eyes widened and she was furious.

"Brute! You bastards! I'll fight with you!"

She overturned the Ashgaru who was trying to take her away, and pulled out the short knife from the fallen Ashgaru, putting on a desperate posture.

But what use is a short knife? When they waited in the yard, all their weapons were confiscated, and they only wore civilian clothes.

A few long guns pressed against her and couldn't get in. In a short while, several holes were pierced through her body, and her companion yelled in fright.

"Gu Tian, ​​don't be impulsive!"

Xiaochang accepted such an order and came here, her heart was filled with anger. Now that she saw that the lead servant was ignorant, the evil fire in her heart was suddenly aroused.

Picking up the long spear in Ashgaru's hand beside him, Xiaoba threw it viciously at the ground attendant named Gu Tian.

It was not easy for Gu Tian to dodge the four or five long spears in front of him at this moment, he didn't notice the thrown long spears at all, it was directly pierced through his chest, and was stuck on the ground limp and trembling.

The land attendant who was stopped in the distance howled and broke free, and rushed to Gu Tian.

"Gu Tian!"

The spear pierced Gu Tian's lungs, she couldn't breathe, her mouth kept opening and closing, spitting blood, as if to say, Tian, ​​Tian, ​​Tian. .

The ground attendant holding her burst into tears, picked up the short knife in her hand, and pierced her heart directly, helping her end this painful struggle.

Afterwards, the ground attendant respectfully pulled out the short knife and long spear, put them on the ground, kowtowed deeply to Xiaochang, and then walked out step by step with Gu Tian's bloody corpse in his arms.

A sympathy flashed in Xiaochang's heart, but he didn't stop him.

Several servants surrounded the servant who was holding Gu Tian's body, and walked out of the small Guanyin Temple together. The villagers waiting outside the gate cried out in despair when they saw Gu Tian's body.

Back among the villagers, a local attendant looked back at the Satake army behind him, his eyes were full of hatred, and he choked up.

"Big sister Gu Tian was killed by them, and our fields will also be flooded. Is that the end?"

The servant holding Gu Tian's body sneered.

"It's over? How could it be over like this! They killed Gu Tian, ​​and if they don't let us live, then don't live!
When we went back, people from all the villages went back to copy weapons to help people, we fought with them! "

Several local attendants looked at each other, the total number of their villages was only a few hundred strong women, at most they were considered clumsy peasants and soldiers, it was really not enough for these elite Satake soldiers to kill one back and forth, do you want to hit a stone with an egg?
Holding Gu Tian's servant, she could feel that Gu Tian's body was getting colder and stiffer, she said with red eyes.

"What? Can we live without resistance? The fields are flooded by them, what shall we eat this year? Instead of starving to death, why not fight these beasts now!"

Several ground attendants were also angered by the desperate situation, and one of them spoke first.

"Okay! I'll go back and organize people, and fight them hard!"

The rest of the people nodded.

"Fight!"

The servant holding Gu Tian's body showed a bloodthirsty smile, and looked at the Guanyin Temple behind him.

Xiaochang shouldn't be soft-hearted and let them go. Although the villagers are lowly, they are forced to have no way out, and untouchables can also organize and go crazy.

---

The venomous gaze seemed to penetrate the thin wall of the monastery, nailing Xiaochang, which made her shiver uncontrollably.

She stood up from the saddle, listening to the sound of crying that was fading away, with a serious expression on her face.

someone asked.

"what happened?"

Xiaochang narrowed his eyes and said.

"We dug people's dams to prevent the villagers from rioting. I shouldn't have been moved just now and let them leave.

With these local Ji warriors coming forward to organize, if there is a disturbance in the villagers, it will be a little troublesome. "

Several people suddenly became nervous.

"What should we do now? Send someone to kill them?"

Xiaochang shook his head.

"It's too late, we..."

Just as she was about to say some precautionary measures, there was suddenly noise and commotion outside.

"what happened!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A large group of cavalry appears from the east!"

Xiaochang was surprised, she only brought 800 people to dig the embankment this time.

Except for the diggers on the river bank, most of them are on the side of Guanyin Temple. The lights are as bright as fireflies in the dark, and they are completely attractive targets for the enemy.

Is it the people from Little Jincheng?Little Jincheng has only a few thousand troops, how dare they send troops out to attack at night?
Xiaochang looked to the east, and he saw a fire dragon, which stretched for a long time, so he ordered.

"Hetian! You take a few people to the home governor's camp to report that there is an enemy raid on my side. I hope everyone knows."

"Hi!"

"Changcang! You take the team to have a look and find out who is coming."

"Hi!"

"The rest wait, prepare for battle!"

"Hi!"

---

The Guanyin Temple here is just a small temple enshrined by the local villagers. It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a courtyard and a Buddhist hall. The villagers may not be devout, but there must be a place to seek peace of mind.

The Satake army came to dig the embankment at night, and wanted a place to stay, so the demon sat in front of the hall, Guanyin closed his eyes and listened, and couldn't bear to look directly at the tragedy that was about to happen.

Just as the Xiaochang murdered and drove the villagers away, the men's army that had come all the way west had already arrived not far away from the south gate of the Xiaojin City.

The brightly lit Guanyin Temple is an obvious target, where else to go?
The guard posts on the periphery saw a mass of cavalry charging towards them holding torches, they couldn't resist at all, so they turned around and ran to report.

It wasn't until the men's army approached the creek about one mile away from Guanyin Temple that they really encountered the obstruction of the Satake backup team.

Chang Cang was ordered to bring his own reserve team, but he did not expect that there were so many people on the other side.Pulling up the horse across the creek, seeing that there seemed to be hundreds of cavalry in front of him, he was also frightened.

She straightened her neck and shouted across the creek.

"Coming by common name!"

These words were originally just a test, if Yiyin was here, he must have ordered the cavalry to charge forward, rode their horses across the stream, and told her who he was while beheading Chang Cang.

But Mr. Fan is a young man who has never been on the battlefield. He doesn't understand the intrigues on the battlefield. The rules of war in the books will not tell you these rogue methods before the battle.

So Fanjun came out obediently and shouted.

"I am Jun Fan, the son of Yuliang Chengfan, you must surrender quickly! I will spare your life!"

Changcang was taken aback for a moment, and the awe he had felt just now dissipated, and he laughed loudly.

"It turned out to be a man. Is there no one in Xiaojincheng? He actually sent a man out?"

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The fact that a man from a good family went to the battle spread faster than any other military news. The two sisters, Shigeru Yuliang and their brother-in-law, Chief Narita, have become a common joke on both sides of the battlefield.

Women don't matter, men come out to carry guns.

As soon as Chang Cang heard that he was the son of a good family, he knew that the other party was a male army from Xiaojincheng.

She laughed and said.

"Master Narita is so incompetent that he sent her husband into battle. This male general, why don't you come and be my husband? I'm much stronger than Mr. Narita!"

Nagakura molested Fanjun in front of the battle, and the Satake team who understood it laughed together, and the ashigaru were vulgar and swear words were endless.

Fan Jun was so angry that his face was red, his face was almost bleeding, the tip of the gun in his hand trembled slightly, and he was about to get angry.

But before he gave the order to attack, a war horse had already sprung out from his ranks. The petite body sitting on the horse made the horse look much bigger.

Only a stern shout was heard.

"Don't humiliate my parents! Thieves watch the arrows!"

Because of his contempt for men, Changcang unknowingly leaned forward in the horse riding room, and leaned against the edge of the stream.

The distance between the two sides was no more than 20 meters. One man and one horse rushed forward, bowed and fired arrows. The arrows at close range were like poisonous tongues, and it was impossible to guard against them.

Chang Cang turned pale with shock, it was too late to regret it now, and he could only hope that his body would be strong enough to block the arrow.

But the tricky arrow shot directly pierced her throat, and she fell off the horse with a wailing cry, killing her on the spot.

The male samurai dared not forgive others, so he boldly rode his horse across the stream and rushed to Changcang, got off his horse, chopped off her head, and held it high in front of the enemy's formation.

"The enemy general has been taken by me, Kai-kun!"

All this happened in a blink of an eye, Fanjun's son had killed the enemy general in the blink of an eye.

Fan Jun was shocked, and he didn't even think about when his son sneaked into his team. He was afraid that the enemy would attack his son, so he immediately gave an order.

"Charge! Break them down!"

In the blink of an eye, the enemy army lost the head of the reserve general. The ridicule just stopped abruptly, and their morale was severely depressed.

Seeing Mr. Fan rushing in front of him, Mr. Jia handed over Changcang's head happily, and said with a smile.

"Father, the person who humiliated you and mother was killed by me..."

Before Kai-kun finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Fan-kun who was slapping him on the horse.

"Who told you to follow me secretly! You don't want to die!"

Kai-kun was taken aback by the pumping, and stared blankly at his father.

"I...want to be with my father...to live and die together."

Fanjun was furious, but when he saw Mr. Kai's cheeks getting red and swollen, he felt sorry for his son and hated himself for being too ruthless.

He raised his hand and touched his son's cheek, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"...does it hurt..."

Kai-kun smiled at his father.

"It doesn't hurt."

Fan Jun's eye sockets gradually became moist.

"Silly boy...you silly boy..."
