Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 354 The Silent Night

This battle is called the Battle of Igarashi River. The two white-armored warriors are naturally Nagao Tora Hime and Ii Naotora. The two girls are so bold that they tricked the Tochio castle guard and led the Ji samurai to follow the army quietly. It doesn't matter if the Honjo army doesn't know the two white-armored warriors, with Kira's general Takatsuna Watanabe as a cover, allowing them to easily break into the main formation of the army.

The two girls showed their strong cavalry commanding ability. They personally led 150 cavalry samurai, under the protection of [-] cavalry from the Nagao family, they rushed down from the hillside and beat the marching Date and Ashina allied forces. Unprepared, the Allied Forces of Date and Ashina retreated, and the two girls won a precious victory for the first time in battle.

If Kira Yoshitoshi had been here, he would have sighed: "It is better to be brave enough to chase the poor bandits, not to become a master!" The two girls are well versed in military strategy, and this is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They led the cavalry to chase Iraq The allied forces of Da and Ashing fled into the forest, and they couldn't even go back to the camp on Hakama Yaoshan, so they could only grit their teeth and flee desperately.

The chase continued all the way until the sun was westward before barely closing the formation. At this time, the Date and Ashina allied forces who were behind were captured nearly a thousand people. In addition to the prisoners who broke up the formation at the first time, more than 700 people were harvested this time. The captives killed more than 400 people directly, and killed more than 200 people in the process of chasing and killing them. The self-inflicted loss of less than 100 people is really a big profit.

Honjo realized that it was going to be bad when he realized that there were more than 100 elite cavalry in the formation. When these 100 cavalry took off their helmets, more than 100 little girls with long hair and shawls showed their delicate and pretty faces , Thousands of soldiers were dumbfounded, Honjo Seishachiro was frightened, and Honjo actually passed out on the spot.

Fortunately, the two little girls knew that they had caused a catastrophe, and they kept their faces on their throat chakras without revealing their faces. They ran back to Tochio City with 150 little girls and dared not come out. At that time, no one dared to question the two of them. In the end, it was Ben Zhuang who found a vague reason to fool him about his background.

This battle completely drove the Allied Forces of Date and Ashina back to Aizu. The Allied Forces of Date and Ashina, who had lost their food and supplies, had no possibility of turning back. They only had two or three days of food on their bodies. Shino also intentionally defended himself, and personally led a large army to station in the camp of the Allied Forces of Date and Ashina in Hakamao Mountain, eating their food and guarding their lair, waiting for a certain unwilling rabbit to come to the door, but in the end they waited for five days Without any news, it was determined that they had escaped.

……

Nagao City Uemon walked over with a dangling waist-hip sword. His younger son has been doing well recently. The eldest son has made some achievements on the battlefield and was selected into the Nagao family. The younger son died last month. She made an agreement with the daughter of Dr. Ishikawa Joemon's family, and agreed to settle the marriage in the year after next. [

Last year, the eldest daughter married Mori Koding, and the younger daughter's marriage is about to be finalized. In more than a month, the eldest daughter-in-law will give birth to Nagao Ichiemon's grandson. He has always believed that this must be the eldest grandson. Believe the sour words of Nagao Youjing Shaojin next door, as long as there is another grandson, this year will be a Dzogchen with four happy families.

Thinking about a private matter and accidentally bumping into someone, Nagao Ichiemon hastily bowed and backed away to apologize: "I'm sorry I was a little distracted just now... It turned out to be Nagao Geki! Why do you have time to visit here today? Hey! Look at me I'm really sorry to say this, my eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm thinking about what baby name to give the child recently, so why don't you give me some advice here?"

Nagao Xingli led a dozen strong men into the inner city with heavy boxes each, and when he saw Nagao Ichiemon entangled, the corner of his mouth twitched. The last sentence: "It's good to have a baby! If you have a baby name... how about calling it Xiaozhuwan?"

Nagao Ichiemon said happily: "Geki is a person with great knowledge, so it must be a very good name for him as a child! It's called Xiaozhumaru!"

"A common man! But he is useful for writing." Nagao Xingli "Hmmm! Today is the Double Ninth Festival of the Ninth Ninth Festival. My lord prepared to write cakes and eat to comfort the soldiers guarding the city. Please. Ichiemonden sent it to the brothers below, let's have fun together during the big festival!"

"Oh! Thank you so much for Tone Shouden! Speaking of which, Toe Shouden is a great benefactor of our Nagao family, and he treats people well. Anyone who sees him says he is good. The only bad thing is his son... Ah! Sorry I'm sorry, look at my bad mouth, it should be hit, it should be hit! Hehehe!" Nagao Ichiemon babbled nonsense, and Nagao Xingli's words were as black as the bottom of a pot.

As the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face. Nagao Xingsato understands the reputation of his nephew. After finally dismissing Nagao Ichiemon, he returned to Shikiya and was about to discuss things when he saw Nagao Fujikage sitting on the porch. In a daze, Nagao Xingli leaned over with a shy face: "Brother, is Jing Zhi back?"

"Hmph!" Nagao Tengjing turned his face away from looking at him.

Nagao Xingli was too lazy to make fun of himself, and when he walked into the house, he saw his nephew drinking and having fun with his two concubines in his arms. Chasing away the obstructive Ji Nu, she closed the paper door, turned her face and reprimanded: "What time is it now and you're still drinking? Just now I met Ichiemon who was still talking about you, so you can't be serious and drink less. At any rate, let’s get through today and talk about it!”

"Anyway, you all say that about me. No matter how hard you try, the mud can't support the wall. Why can't I drink and enjoy myself? Why can't I drink when others can? I just want to drink!" Nagao Keiji picked up the bottle angrily He poured it into his mouth fiercely, coughed until he took a sip, and stopped after taking a breath.

Chang Wei Xingli got really angry, and said sharply: "Drink! Why don't you drink? Don't worry if you are drunk, so as not to cause disasters and kill others when you act."

Nagao Jingzhi shivered in fright. He had never seen a good-tempered uncle get angry, and said in a low voice, "I...I won't drink anymore! Uncle, let's talk about our actions, and send in all the food that has been mixed with crotons." Yet?"

Nagao Xingli proudly showed off: "Hmph! Do you need to talk about what you are doing? The old man from Nagao City Youemonjing voluntarily distributed the food to the guarding soldiers below after a few words. As long as they eat these pastries, It doesn't take two hours to resist with weak legs and feet, and then this spring mountain city will be ours!"

"That's good! That's great!" Nagao Jingzhi applauded excitedly, and after a while, he seemed to be puzzled and asked: "Why don't we just use poison to kill them all, and use croton to pull them up to two times?" Recover your strength in three days, won't we be more dangerous then?"

"Idiot, the smell of poison is so strong, you think they are all fools! Where can I find the legendary poison in a hurry! Takeda Dazen did his best to provide us with one hundred penetrating ninjas and two hundred ronin warriors, plus There are 1000 soldiers from our Shimoda Nagao family, and a total of 7000 soldiers from several other families. In case someone finds out the problem and reveals our purpose, Haruyama Castle will close the gates and urgently recruit townspeople, and [-] people will be recruited in no time. There is no problem with people, how can our military force stop them? All the efforts we have made before have been in vain." Nagao Xingli's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and Nagao Jingzhi's body shrank into a ball while staring at him. [

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and wash off your alcohol smell, and get ready for the evening."

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival in Jiujiu, the autumn wind blows and the waning moon is like a hook. There is also a custom of the Double Ninth Festival in medieval r. On this day, people drink chrysanthemum wine and enjoy chrysanthemums and have a chrysanthemum feast to celebrate the departure of autumn. Therefore, it was once called On the Autumn Festival, a grand national performance will be held in the court of Kyoto on this day, drinking and composing poems to celebrate.

Today's Chunr mountain city is very quiet, perhaps because the main general led the army outside, and the surroundings are empty, which makes this majestic mountain city a little less fireworks out of thin air. In the middle of the night, the townspeople knocked lightly , I don’t know where to hide and take a nap.

Outside the city wall on the southeast side of Spring Mountain City, the number of patrolling soldiers suddenly became much rarer. No matter how lax it is in the city, there are always a few torches patrolling the city wall, but today there is not a single torch. The lights went out, and the whole mountain city became pitch black, not even a single torch could be seen on the city wall, and needles could be heard quietly all around.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound from the woods outside the city, and dozens of dark figures popped out after a while. They climbed up the city wall very neatly with the help of equipment and hooks, claws, shoulder coils and ropes. Gently opened, a large group of ashigaru emerged from the bushes in the distance, quickly squeezed through the side door and rushed into the city.

"Hurry up! Don't stand still and guard the gates in the city, and don't let your guard down. Elder brother, Jing Zhi followed me and rushed to Honmaru to control the castle tower. We must quickly catch Nagao Jingxin!" Nagao Xingli didn't know where to go Jumping out, commanding a thousand troops to blockade Chunr Mountain City, more than a thousand people moved together, and the armor leaves collided with each other, making a clattering sound, and the heavy footsteps brought a little inexplicable dullness in the dark night.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. It seemed that all the defenders in the city disappeared in the middle of the night, and there was no figure on the top of the city or in the arrow oar. Nagao Xingli's heart was heavy, and he secretly said: "This Croton really Did he knock down all the samurai in the city in the middle of the night? Or did Kai break through and use special means to control the defenders in the city?"

Time was running out and there was no time to ask Kai Topo what he had done. Nagao Xingli led the five hundred soldiers from the headquarters, wrapped up Nagao Fujikage, Nagao Keiji and his son, and rushed all the way to the top of the mountain without hindrance. There was still no one in sight, so Nagao Xingli panicked. (to be continued...)
