Chapter 36: The Ape Hanging Battle

The most fearful thing during the night attack is to rush into the enemy's camp only to find that people go to the camp, and what is even more afraid is that not only people go to the camp, but also suddenly light torches around, what is more painful than the torch is that the person holding the torch is still the enemy, the bow and arrow can be blocked with strong strength, but the iron cannon with strong attack power and nuclear deterrence, they just want to use flesh and blood to block it will only increase the probability of casualties, even if it is a strong, no matter how fierce the samurai is not afraid of death, no one will use their bodies to block the direction of the bullet. biquge.info The sky is dark, the direction of the bullet is completely unstoppable, the iron cannon is used in actual combat in Kyushu, only the Shimazu family has formed a scale, and other places have not yet set up such a dense formation, hundreds of iron cannons are divided into five sections to fire in turns, and the three-stage attack requires a long training room to be able to cooperate with the army, although the five-stage attack is not as dense as the three-stage attack, but the speed can form a coherent, and the trade-off can only give up the scale, The coherent shooting is even more unguardable. The continuous sound of iron cannons, what a spectacular scene, China has never experienced such a large-scale killing scene, at least in the Yin and Yang Dao is the first time to use hundreds of iron cannons into battle.

Minoru Suiida is indeed worthy of being a battle-hardened general, and he was able to charge at the forefront under such a dense and coherent audit, standing out from the crowd between a piece of blood and wailing unscathed, but he was very unlucky, because he witnessed a slaughtering feast, watching one by one the original fresh lives fall to the ground in an instant, and the injuries left by the iron cannon shot can only prove that he is dead in this era when there is no special medicine, although they are still wailing, In the era when there was no specific medicine and open surgery, it was regarded as an evil art, and there was only one way to die.

Hoida really didn't expect Date Masaki to be so ruthless, and he didn't expect that his deception plan would be discovered, and what was even more unexpected was that Date Army would accumulate hundreds of iron cannons in a short period of time, and the iron cannon was stronger than the Maruki bow, which was an inaccessible weapon, I don't know how many times, they thought that the other party would ambush at most use the Maruki bow, they were wrong, they were wrong, and they were wrong.

Sakata Shinobu, who rushed behind Minoru Suida, was unfortunately shot in the thigh, which directly burst the root of the thigh, and blood flowed everywhere, lying on the ground and not daring to move a step, his body trembled and turned back with difficulty, and turned his eyes for help to Minoru Suida, and howled loudly: "Uh, my lord, help me!" ”

Suiida Minoru ignored Sakata's call for help recently, he now understands a qiē, all of them are a plan set up by Date Masahiro, first pretending to surrender and rebel, and then laying an ambush to sit and wait for them to arrive, if you don't come, it means that it is not a fraudulent surrender, but you want to sneak attack, both of which are taken care of, such a powerful young man. Now it's too late to retreat, there are shouts of killing in all directions, obviously their retreat has been blocked, and if they want to reflexively retreat, they can only expose their backs to the fierce iron cannons, only gather all the remaining forces, aim at a point to launch an assault, maybe they can break through, as long as they can break through, with the remaining five hundred peasant soldiers in the city, it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

Minoru Suiida suddenly straightened up, raised the sword, looked back and shouted, "Assault with me, assault out!" Warriors of Ape Hanging City, rush out with me! Saying that, leading more than 200 soldiers whose morale gradually turned around, they went up to the camp on one side, wanting to break out from a point in the ambush circle, no matter where it is a breakthrough for Suiida Minoru in recent times, as long as he does not rush to the side of the heavy iron cannon formation, it should be the main force of the Date army, if it is normal, he will definitely break through from there and kill him upside down, but just now the iron cannon shooting has knocked out most of the morale of Suiida's army, and they want them to rush directly to the place where the iron cannon breaks out from time to time, Perhaps infighting may erupt as well.

Infighting before the battle is a taboo in the army, and Minoru Suida does not dare to ignore everyone's opinions, and now he orders to assault at a place where there is not much sound on one side, which just gives everyone a good opportunity to break through, and he is busy following Suida Minoru's footsteps to break out in that direction.

Garrisoned in that direction is the Takenoi clan and Harutaka father and son of Osamaru Castle who have just surrendered, Zhengheng originally did not plan to let them participate in the war, where did he think that the father and son insisted on asking for war in order to be able to establish their merits in front of the new master, Zhengheng heard that they hesitated for a moment and could only reluctantly agree, this time they were just blocked in the direction of Suiida's approach, holding a spear in his nervous hand, standing in the middle of the team, looking at the Suiida army that was getting closer and closer by the firelight, The short voice shouted loudly: "The pikemen come forward, block them, and the Taidao team will kill them in twos and twos!" ”

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Takenoi army relied on the strength of the crowd to restore their calm, and completed the assembly of the various departments in a hurry, and barely formed three arrays on the side, although the side is not as fast as the iron cannon on the front, but they think that the number of soldiers on their side is huge, enough to support a while and wait for the reinforcements to come over, and then it is a good time to counterattack, as long as it is supported, with this feat, then their father and son will be in Date House. The Takenoi clan was also able to break away from the shadow of the Mimura family and become a subordinate minister of the Date family, and when they thought of a bright future, the Takenoi clan and Harutaka father and son gritted their teeth and waited for the impact of the Hoi Tian army.

Minoru Suiida's army at this time was only about 200 men, and the assault itself had little chance of winning in the dark night, and when he encountered the scene of an ambush, he decided that only by assaulting could he achieve the final victory. But he suffered a small loss in front of the Takenoi army, although the strength of the Takenoi army is not as good as the standing guards of Sarukake Castle, but they are not the first hicks to go into battle, they have also participated in the joint battle led by the Mimura family to defeat Sarukake Castle several times, knowing the difficulty of the defenders of Sarukake Castle, so they relied on the advantage of local numbers to use two people to fight one person to entangle the Hoi Ida army, forcing the Hoi Ida army to slow down, so that the surrounding Date army can be surrounded by all the kuài. Minoru Suida understood that the assault of 200 people, only by killing the general can determine the balance of victory and defeat towards his side, the original thing was to break into the camp to find the main tent to kill the key person of the Date family, Zhengheng, and forced the Date family to fall apart in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that the Date army had been prepared, and now there is a threat of being entangled, and he understands that only the general who kills this army can break through and return to Sarukake City.

Minoru Suida shouted loudly: "Assault! Assault! The voice was like a fierce beast, under his leadership, under the life and death, one by one, like a tiger descending the mountain, with darkness, involved in the array of Takeno Inobe, and went on a killing spree, each side brandished knives and guns, slashing and killing at will, and was so busy that they didn't even have time to breathe. Minoru Suida waved the sword in his hand, snatching innocent lives one after another, and his agile figure rushed and struck like a wild boar in Takenoibe, wielding the knife in his hand. Chopping, only two strokes were used, the other blocks and picks, there is no use in the military formation, only the enemy in front of you is not necessary to block, the pick is very commonly used in solo combat, but once the large-scale military formation is not successful, it may be counterattacked, and the consequences of the counterattack are unimaginable. Don't forget jì, in the chaos of the battle, it is not uncommon for a famous general to die at the hands of a small soldier.

Suiida is really worthy of being the general of the Zhuang clan, and the more than 200 people under his command are all the remaining elites of the hundred battles, and the swords and guns in their hands are waving more and more urgently, Takeno Ibe suffered heavy casualties, his heads are flying, and blood is everywhere, and he was able to keep the queue in two or two kills at first, but he was killed a little frightened later, and one by one began to run wolf-run, crying dad and calling mother, all of them were like headless flies scurrying around, and let others slaughter.

Minoru Hoida held a bloody sword in his hand, and walked step by step towards the Takenoi main formation, which had already refused to listen to the retreat, wanting to kill this team of generals who were blocking them. Takenoi Clan Taka and Harutaka father and son, through the light of the fire, saw one after another Sasamaru Castle's elite die unexpectedly, he was already a little stupid, he looked at the killing Hoida Minoru near, his teeth creaked. They are also people of flesh and blood, and these soldiers who loyally followed the Takenoi clan did not expect to encounter the main assault of Mimi Hoida here, causing them heavy casualties.

The Takenoi clan is old and old, and when he saw the tragic killing, his heart was dripping blood, but he had no skills to return to the sky, and the loss of soldiers and horses was too strict, I don't know how many people are missing, how many casualties, just when I don't know what to do. Kogoro Iwase, the captain of the guard, who had been following Masahiro at the earliest, dodged and ran from behind, saw a general of the Ashigaru clan of the Takenoi clan, and hurriedly grabbed him and shouted, "Where is Lord Takenoi, His Highness has an order." ”

The general of the ashigaru had seen Kogoro Iwase once, and knew that he was a close retainer of Masahiro, so he hurriedly took him from behind and rushed to the location of the main camp, at this moment the main camp was about to meet the Hoi Ida army, and the situation was very critical, Takeno Haruhaka was depressed and ignored his father's persuasion and stepped forward and asked: "I don't know when His Highness will come up, we can't hold it back." ”

Iwase Kogoro hurriedly said: "Lord Takenoi, Your Highness has an order, get out of the way, let the enemy leave and pursue from behind, don't fight to the death, it's too dark, Your Highness doesn't dare to rush too much for fear of accidental injury, they won't leave smoothly, and if you want to return to Sarukake City, at least lose half of the people." ”

As soon as the Takenoi clan Gao and Harugao father and son heard Zhengheng's order to get out of the way, although their faces were still unhappy, they still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and if they continued to fight, the strength of the Takenoi family would be exhausted, and even if they made a meritorious contribution at that time, without these seeds of the Takenoi family, their father and son would only be able to make the commander of the light pole, and they would soon be drowned in the long river of history, and they hurriedly issued an order to get out of the way. As soon as the father and son gave the order, the soldiers who were blocking the advance of the Suiida army slowed down a little and began to retreat to both sides.

Suoda didn't dare to coerce the other party too much, if it was really a real fire, once it was entangled and the sky was getting brighter, the Date army, who couldn't distinguish between the enemy and me, would definitely rush up, and then the enemy would not be more than 300 people in front of him, but more than 1,000 people, or even thousands of people. Although Hoida Minoru didn't believe that the Date army would send thousands of troops, once Zhengheng issued a call, it would attract a large number of peasant soldiers, and even if they were not afraid of death, they would only be dead under heavy surroundment. Now seeing that Takeno Ibe got out of the way, Minoru Suida didn't chase after him, and rushed over by himself.

In the area of the root of the mountain at the western foot of the Ape Hanging City, Taoshan Zhenbei listened to the sound of iron cannons in the Henggu camp, and his face showed a red tide, knowing that the war had begun, his eyes stared at the direction of the Ape Hanging City, he led two hundred people to guard here There are two tasks, the first is to monitor the Ape Hanging City, prevent the Ape Hanging City from reinforcing the Heng Valley, and disrupt the plan of the political balance, the second is to kill and disperse the people who escaped from the Heng Valley, there are three teams like him, he is the closest to the Henggu camp, each with more than 200 people, Therefore, in fact, there were less than six or seven hundred people left behind in the Yokoya camp, including 400 people in the main camp and 2 or 300 people from the Takenoi family who insisted on following. If Minoru Suida had fought for a while, he might have really succeeded, but when he was suddenly ambushed, shouts of killing sounded from all sides, he would definitely think that the Date army surrounded all the soldiers and horses, thinking that he would break through and return to Saruhang Castle to regroup, so he provided a convenient door for Masahiro to attack them halfway.

Of course, Zhengheng didn't expect the Suiida army and the Takenoi army to fight so fiercely, and the loss of the Takeno Army reached 100 people after the fact, which can be said to be a great injury to the vitality, and the Suiida Army also lost nearly 50 people, if you add the previous kills, those who escaped halfway, the number of the Suiida army that broke out of the Yokoya camp was about 130 people, and the loss was not small, even if he could return to Sarukake City safely, it was a huge loss, and he was unable to counterattack, of course, what he was talking about here was whether he could return safely, The three 200-strong Date troops on the halfway road did not eat dry food.

Minoru Suiida escaped from the camp, and when he saw the camp where the flames were red in the sky, he was afraid that the Date army would chase after him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Return to Sarukake Castle, hurry up, don't let the Date army follow into Sarukake Castle." "Yes, once the Date army is entangled and followed into Sarukake Castle, the situation is critical, and he can't care about his physical fatigue and gives the order to return to Sarukake Castle. His eyes were staring straight at the direction of Ape Hanging City, his hand was clenched tightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "Don't have an accident, otherwise the Zhuang clan is finished!" ”

At the foot of the mountain, a captain of the Ashigaru squad who observed the movement grinned and asked in a low voice, "It's the defeated soldiers of the Ape Castle, there are more than 100 people, do you want to eat them?" ”

The corners of Taoshan Zhenbei's mouth curled slightly, he clenched the throwing gun in his hand, raised it, he still had a spare throwing gun, two throwing guns were enough to kill and injure most of the enemy, he said with a smile: "Listen, the sound of the iron cannon in the camp has stopped, indicating that this defeated army should be the main force of the Ape Hanging City, kill their majesty, don't care about them after throwing two throwing guns, follow them." ”

The captain of the Ashigaru squad smiled and clenched his throwing gun.

The more than 100 soldiers of the Hoi Ida army had just escaped from the camp and had not yet taken a breath, and wanted to escape back to Sarukake Castle, but they did not expect to encounter an ambush of the Date Army at the root of the mountain at the western foothills, and they threw their guns through the air, and one or two hundred throwing guns "Xiu Xiu" cut through the air and shot towards the Hoida army who wanted to escape back to Sarukake Castle in the open field, bringing a strong sense of vision and pain.

"Brother, let's go!" Hoida Konmasa pushed away the sluggish Hoida Minoru, and a throwing gun pierced his back, and the bloodshot and flesh pierced out from the other side of his chest in an instant, and the big armor couldn't stop the penetration of the throwing gun. His eyes were bulging, his throat gurgling, one hand clutching the piercing tip of the spear in his chest, and the other waving wildly in front of him, as if to grasp something, but the man slowly fell to his knees. His body twitched several times, and suddenly his head tilted and his body went limp, and he fell to the ground, and then he never moved again.

Minoru Suiida didn't even look at the injury of his henchman Sakata Shinobu, but when his own brother died, his face showed a sad gaze, a crocodile tear hung in the corner of his eye, he took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Go!" Come on! As soon as he took two steps, another shot shot out, and then his left shoulder seemed to be slammed into something, and then his shoulder was cold, and the shoulder guard of the big armor fell to the ground, and along with the shoulder guard fell a piece of flesh the size of a thumb, and the gun was deeply rooted in the dirt, and the tail of the gun shook a few times.

Minoru Suida shouted loudly: "Attack forward, kill here before we can survive!" "There are less than forty people who can really kill the roots of the mountain, and this depends on the fact that Taoshan Zhenbei wants to protect the troops and does not rush up to entangle, as long as they charge up, the exhausted soldiers who are less than forty will only have a dead end in the face of the siege of two hundred people, but since there are still two teams behind them, why bother with one more casualty.

Thirty or forty people didn't dare to look back at all, and desperately fled in the direction of Ape Hanging City, as long as they fled back to Ape Hanging City, with more than 500 peasant soldiers in the city, relying on the strong Ape Hanging City, there might be a possibility of fighting.

But will Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Masanari Ueno let them go? The answer is obviously impossible, and in the area of Furai Shrine, he finally encountered a combined attack of Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Masano Masano, who had merged into one place, first by throwing guns, and then by besieging them, and the meritorious Ueno Masanari shouted loudly and charged forward.

Minoru Suiida, who was already physically and mentally exhausted after repeated killings, looked at the less than ten people left beside him, looked up at the sky that was already gradually dawning, and shouted loudly: "I, Minoru Suiida, am nearly ten thousand dead, and I can't insult the glory of the Kodama Party, kill me!" The subordinates beside him were determined to rush forward, and the attack of less than ten people was extinguished without even a single blister coming out under the encirclement of four hundred people.

On the morning of April 9, as Zhengheng expected, the city of Saruhang opened and surrendered, and the Date army entered the city of Saruhang, which shook the whole country for a while, and even caused a chain reaction among the surrounding famous and powerful.
