Chapter 591

Tazigou was originally a small village east of the Yuanning Mountains, with a population of less than a hundred.

It is named after a small three-story pagoda built at the head of the village.

Later, the east bank suffered from repeated wars, and the common people fled to death, and it has been reduced to a deserted wasteland.

child time.

You can't see your fingers everywhere.

Papa Papa, messy footsteps sounded.

Uesaka led a team of thousands of people, holding the flickering torches, and finally rushed to Tazigou at the last moment.

"Did Iwatani and Chigenaga Shigematsu follow behind?"

"Back to the general, half an hour ago, the two thousand long men had already fallen behind. It is estimated that they will not be able to make it in an hour and a half."

hum.

Uesaka was very out of breath.

It was agreed before that the first 3000 people must arrive at Tazigou?
In the end, the only one who got there was himself, a fool...

Putting aside his messy thoughts, he looked around while panting heavily.

It's just that the night is too thick, and it's extremely dark everywhere. No matter how hard you stare, you can only see the blurred mountain shadows far and near, and you can't see the surrounding situation clearly.

Looking at it, Uesaka felt an inexplicable shock in his heart.

"There's something wrong with this place."

The surrounding area was too quiet. In such a large forest, there was no sound of birds or animals.

He quickly stood up and shouted loudly, "Everyone must not rest. Immediately set up a defense line to the west on the same spot, pay attention to arranging isolation fences, throwing thorns, digging pits for horses, and hanging horse ropes."

"Quick, quick, move."

what?
"I still have to work."

"He made it. After running all night, I'm almost exhausted. Now it's pitch black everywhere, and I still have to do some rough work."

The little soldiers ran all the way under the urging of Shangfeng, already tired and hungry.

Everyone thought that they could at least rest at the destination even if they had nothing to eat, but when they heard that they had to work, they couldn't help complaining.

Baba.

Uesaka lashed out a few times.

"I know you are hungry and tired, but Xingluo people may appear nearby at any time, and their horseshoe blades do not recognize people. If you don't want to die, get up and work."

It was another urging with swords and axes, and the soldiers started to work with a bitter face.

However, they didn't wait for them to do it.

"kill!"

The hills around Tazigou suddenly heard a loud cry of killing.

I don't know how many people were ambushing in the dark night, and before Uesaka's men could react, they were caught up in an instant.

The two sides are not at the same level, plus one side is waiting for work, and the other side is hungry and tired.

The light of the knife flashed across the long spear, and there was almost no enemy with a single move.

After a while, ah ah ah.

There were familiar or unfamiliar screams everywhere, and Uesaka's heart jumped.

"Quickly, quickly, everyone moves closer to the general, and organizes external defense in place. At the same time, immediately ask the two commanders of Iwatani, no, General Matsushita for help."

Matsushita Yang was still halfway when he received the news.

He slapped his thigh hard, not surprised but pleased, "That's great."

Some people from Yunchui ambushed in Tazigou early, which at least shows that they found the right place.

"Tell me, how many enemies are there around Tazigou?"

"This..." The orderly, who was half dead, was a little dumbfounded, "Go back to the general, and the moment Qianchang was attacked, he ordered the younger one to deliver a letter to you. As for how many enemies there are, I really don't know in a hurry."

"But to hear the movement, there must be at least two thousand."

"Two thousand?" Matsushita Yang nodded, "Then consider it four thousand."

He calculated the distance, and said decisively, "Send the order down, urging Iwatani and Shigematsu to support Uesaka immediately, and everyone else will replenish and rest at the same place, and start tomorrow after they have assembled at dawn."

what?
"General," the guard next to him said anxiously with a heartbeat, "Iwatani and Shigematsu's two thousand-year-old men alone can't save Uesaka, can they?"

"You." Matsushita Yang took a deep look at the little guard.

"It's good for comrades to help each other and support each other. But you have to remember that we are also a tired army. Although there are many people, the team is too long. If you run desperately to Tazigou to save the 1000 people in Uesaka, In the end, I'm afraid not only they won't be able to save them, but they will be eaten piece by piece."

"..." The little guard was silent for a while, and then nodded after a while, "This subordinate understands."

The next day, it was said that they set off in the morning, but it was not until noon the next day that Matsushita Yang came to Tazigou with the assembled and repaired troops.

When we arrived at Tazigou, the sun was about to set.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and there were still corpses on the ground.

The thousand small soldiers in Uesaka endured for half a night, but they were all wiped out before receiving any reinforcements.

"General," Iwatani and Shigematsu shrank their necks and moved over, "When the subordinates rushed to the place, it was already like this."

Matsushita Yang didn't bother to pay attention to them, and waved his hands expressionlessly.

Soon someone rushed over viciously and dragged the two of them down.

"Where's Uesaka?" Matsushita Yang asked.

The guards had been prepared for a long time, and immediately moved several corpses from Uesaka and the surrounding area.

Ugh.

Matsushita Yang sighed, "This is Yamato's pillar of talent."

It is a pity that he died young.

After sighing, he carefully checked the wounds on the corpse, and couldn't help but feel a little twitching in his heart.

As expected of the Starfall Legion, most of them, including Uesaka and the personal guards, were fatally killed by a single blow or blocked by a single shot.

After checking, Matsushita Yang stood up straight and glanced at the overly quiet mountain forest in front of him.

"Everyone, the Xingluo people are hiding on this mountain, and the path behind Tazigou is their food road. It's just Xingluo, they are human beings, and they also have to eat. If they are blocked here, they will have no way to retreat and no food to go eat."

"Understood." All the chiefs and chiefs nodded one after another.

"It's time to avenge Uesaka and other brothers who died in battle. Send an order to burn this forest and burn all the rats hiding in it; at the same time, dig trenches outside to guard against the cavalry from Starfall."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Japanese pirates immediately performed their duties, defending the defense, burning the mountain, burning the mountain, and digging the ditch.

However, soon someone ran over sweating profusely.

"General, the brothers have worked very hard. It's just that it's the turn of spring and summer, and the mountains and forests are humid..."

So how can not ignite the fire.

Matsushita Yang was stunned, looked up and looked around, suddenly felt a toothache.

Wisps of light smoke had already risen from the mountains near Tazigou, but they disappeared soon. It was clear that the burning of the mountain had failed.

"General," a personal guard said, "the enemy in the mountain is elusive and skilled in arrows. He just appeared out of nowhere and killed a dozen of our brothers. How about...using our fire oil?"

"Bastard." Yang Matsushita almost slapped the little guard who kindly offered advice.

The kerosene in his hand is not enough for lighting, how can there be any extra to burn the mountain?

And I don't know how long I will stay here, if there is no torch at night, how can I be attacked by the Yunchui people in a few minutes?

Thinking about it, he glanced around.

Although I have nearly 3 horses, the quantity is enough, but the quality...

And of the 3 people, [-] must be allocated to watch the east of Tazigou, lest the cavalry of the Starfall Legion come over.

Although there were relatively few enemies on the mountain, Matsushita Yang was still a little uncertain in his heart.

"Send the order down, and cut it down if it can't burn. Cut down all the trees, and I will see how the rats of Xingluo hide and attack."

Matsushita Yang's order was passed on quickly, and after a while, the sound of logging came from all directions.

cough.

Behind a certain big tree on the mountain, a soldier coughed softly.

"Qianchang, the pirates are here again. With so many trees, how long will they have to cut down?"

The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if all the trees here are cut down, and the grain sent to the east coast plain does not pass through here.

"What are you talking about?" the Fourth Battalion Commander unceremoniously gave him a loud chestnut, "If you have time, touch them and shoot a few more enemies. It is best to drag the 3 people of Matsushita Yang firmly into this Tazi ditch. "

South Bank, the shipbuilding base.

Ren Ning had just read the battle reports sent from everywhere.

He laughed, "Matsushita Yang took so many people to block Tazigou, it seems that he takes it very seriously. Let them block it first."

"How is Jiamuhe now?"

"Returning to the general, the Jiamu River has always been in our hands. The Japanese pirates tried to save the fire, but they were all repelled. These days, the food and grass that the brothers need has been sent out of the cave."

"Very good." Ren Ning nodded in satisfaction.

He clasped his fingers slowly.

"There are 3 people in Tazigou. These days we have killed nearly 9 people who came to fight the fire one after another. There are another [-] people on the East-West Post Road who are pushing against Jiang Xuesong from Baekje. In addition, there are [-] people as backup. Then A total of [-] people."

"I don't know how many troops Naoto Kudo still has in hand?"
