Chapter 255: Yellow Sparrow Updates a Chapter
The weather in the valley is always changeable, the day is still very hot, although there is no wind at night, but the cool air at night is still attacking, autumn is coming, whether it is the Mimura army or the Date army will choose to march in such weather or ambush, rather than in the hot daylight in the eyes of everyone. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) Zhengheng was drowsy, he sat on the top of Jimu Mountain and looked around the dark surroundings, although it was dark, it was not pitch black, and there was something slightly shiny fluttering in the dark, it was the soul of a wanderer who died in the mountains and wilderness went to worship the Jizo King Bodhisattva. Zhengheng understands that it is actually phosphorus fire, and the society was chaotic in the Warring States Period, and some people who died in vain would appear anywhere, exposed in the mountains and wilderness.
Zheng Heng finally couldn't bear the pain of the longer and longer silence, and he tried to open his one eye to observe the situation around him, but except for the silent ghost fire, it was a low and weak snoring, which seemed unusually abrupt, and the Date army in ambush in the mountains and fields was obviously dull in the endless waiting, and most of them fell asleep. Zhengheng understood that if he didn't show up again, the Date Army would have to retreat to Heshou Castle, although he knew that the Mimura family would definitely come to run the business, but the current situation no longer allowed him to wait.
Zheng Heng secretly thought to himself: "Maybe the Sancun family also likes to take a long detour from the mountain beam to surround Heshou City, just like when I hit the Yancheng Mountain City, although there are more than 300 defenders in Heshou City, but if he is really caught off guard, it is difficult to guarantee that Heshou City will not fall like Yancheng Mountain City, Heshou City is built by the Sancun family after all, and it is more familiar with the advantages and disadvantages than us." "In fact, Heshou City was built by the father of the three villages, and later the three villages were expanded on the foundation, not all of them were built by the three villages, but Zhengheng only knew the three villages, and it was not clear that there was a three-village clan.
Officially hit such an idea, Zhengheng became more and more impatient, and another hour passed, and the surrounding darkness began to make people unconsciously have fierce thoughts, the three village families, come on, I must kill them! At this moment, he heard the sound of quietly moving footsteps from the other end of Mount Jimu, getting louder, more and more, getting closer and closer, not the footsteps of one person, but the footsteps of hundreds.
The snoring between the mountains also stopped, and there was silence, shadows on the hillside, and the sound of small fragments under the hillside kept coming. Zheng Heng's one-eyed eyes carefully watched the movement under the hillside, and the number of people was about three or four hundred. Faintly through the starlight, you can see a cloud of black shadows like ghosts coming out of nowhere, countless scattered footsteps, connected in a few breaths, yes, it is indeed the appearance of three or four hundred people.
I didn't see the people who came and I was depressed, and when I saw the people who came, Zhengheng's mood was not very good, three or four hundred people, didn't say that there were more than a thousand people, and the other people went somewhere, did they really see through his tricks as he imagined, and turned around the mountains and beams to attack Heshou City.
There is no light under the hillside, most of the road led by the Mimura army are some wild samurai running around in the mountains, the people who are scattered in the mountains and fields in vain may be the evidence of their secret robbery and murder, even if there is no light, be careful and be able to walk, as long as you follow the Lingjia River, after arriving at the mouth of the river, you can go all the way along the Naruha River, their plan may be like this, in the dark, even if there are ambushes, they will not dare to come down because of fear.
Kusama Shibei appeared on the top of the mountain, he came to Zhengheng's side, and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, did you launch a surprise attack?" ”
Zheng Heng looked at the enemy who was about to walk out from the side of the hillside, clenched his fists, and said in his heart: "Three or four hundred, just three or four hundred, you can't let them go, kill them first, and then return to Heshou City to see if the three village relatives will really detour to Heshou City, if they are really attacked by him, they have to retreat to Chengyu Pavilion to ask for the second, anyway, my ultimate goal is to defend Yoshioka Copper Mountain." Then he shouted in a low voice: "Spread the torch, put more torches on the hillside, the more the better, and then wait for the iron cannon, shoot them for a while, and then shoot them with a bow and arrow." ”
On the hillside, the originally quiet and dark Jimu Mountain turned into hundreds of torches in a blink of an eye, reflecting the fire on the hillside, and at the same time, I also saw the banner of the Mimura Army under the hillside that was rushing ahead, the banner of the sorrel family pattern hanging down, and the soldiers of the Mimura Army who were stunned and panicked.
Iron cannons, yes, iron cannons, although most of the more than 20 iron cannons captured in Stone Crab Mountain City that day have been scrapped, there are still a few left, between the valleys, the iron cannons are not lethal, but shocking. It's like when you suddenly hear a thunderclap when you're silent, you're sure to be frightened.
Zhengheng gave the order to attack and shouted, "Let's go!" In the thunder of several iron cannons, the samurai of the Mimura family suddenly fell into a situation surrounded by iron cannons, and were knocked down several times at once, and the other Mimura troops jumped up one after another, trying to hide, and then were hit by the second iron cannon attack and fell convulsively in the valley.
The casualties of the two attacks were less than two or three people, and it was still very dense, which made Zheng Heng feel a pang of guilt in his heart, he didn't expect that the iron cannon of this era was so useless, and in such a dense crowd situation, it was just two or three people lying on the ground, not directly killed, all of them were still convulsing.
But in the hearts of other people, it is a strong idea, don't forget that the bullets fired by the iron cannons of this era are all iron bullets, and when you shoot the armor, you will feel a burst of heat at most, as long as there is a little pain, there are only a few iron cannons, and it is already good luck for Zhengheng to be able to suffer two or three casualties at this moment.
After two volleys, the Iron Artillery Corps lost its effectiveness, and Zhengheng shouted, "Bow and arrow waiting!" ”
Everyone took out a Maruki bow, although the bow and arrows shot by the Maruki bow were not very powerful, but like flying locusts, they shot out rows of arrows from top to bottom, the momentum was extremely strong, the power of Maruki arrows was not great, but after the shot, it was still unbearable, only those samurai who were particularly determined could rush up the mountain to fight the pain to fight against it, but at this moment, thousands of arrows were fired on the mountains on both sides, and under the attack on both sides, only hiding behind the stones and trees to avoid the shooting of the bow and arrow, and suppressed the shot for a while, the power was not great, and there were not many casualties, As time went on, more and more people were killed and injured.
After a while, forty or fifty people lay on the ground convulsing and stopped moving, and at least a dozen arrows were shot at their bodies, and most of them were dense like hedgehogs.
Mimura hurriedly ordered his relatives: "Retreat, quickly exit this place and rearrange the formation." "After the three villages gave the order to retreat, the three villages began to collapse completely, in the dark night, under the strong attack began to collapse in an instant, especially by the roar of the iron cannon, although they have also seen some iron cannon attacks, but in the silent darkness suddenly heard the roar of the iron cannon, or let them feel the illusion that there are enemies all around, and heard the order to retreat, all of a sudden complete collapse.
Mimurafu Uemon saw the ashigaru people next to him jumping up, and in a hurry, he had to shout loudly: "Move closer to me, retreat into the woods in front of you, and use the woods to block the enemy's attack." Mimura heard the order from his sister-in-law and began to shout the same order, and the other warriors of the Mimura family also approached them and fled towards the grove in front of them. Although the speed of escape was extremely fast, but still paid the price of nearly 100 people, for a time the three village army suffered heavy casualties, the number of people from the original three or four hundred people reduced to about two hundred, if there are many people who did not follow, now can be the three villages for the affinity and the three villages of the right guard gate control zhì no more than 100 people.
The woods in the dark night are obviously not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and if you fight with a sword, the enemy's casualties will inevitably increase suddenly, and for a while, everyone can only gather outside the grove and wait for the order of Zhengheng to be issued. Zheng Heng knew that the real decisive battle had just begun, but he also had a little plan, hand-to-hand combat in the woods had no advantage for either side, and the advantage gained in the woods with iron cannons and bows and arrows would soon disappear.
Zheng Heng estimated where the other party went, and gave an order in his mouth: "Pay attention to each team, the pikemen team is in front, the iron artillery team is behind, the archers are ready to shoot at any time, and there are rockets to start an indiscriminate attack on the woods." ”
Rockets, it turned out to be rockets, and the people standing next to Zhengheng gasped, they never thought that Zhengheng would use fire to attack such a tactic that hurts the heavens and the peace.
Kamisu Yorishige asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is very likely that the fire attack will not be able to be cleaned up, and the villages near the city will be ...... There is a big loss for your prestige! ”
Zheng Heng squinted at him, and suddenly laughed: "Wouldn't it hurt Tianhe to let my soldiers go up and send them to death?" ”
Zhengheng didn't wait for everyone to continue to entangle, and immediately gave the order for a fire attack.
The rocket is actually a kind of arrow that is shot out after tying a strip of cotton cloth to the shaft of the arrow and then igniting it, or shooting with a maruki bow, the distance is not very far, if it is far away, it will be burned a long time ago, fortunately, it is the height of summer, and it has not rained a transparent rain for a long time, and the woods are full of things that can be ignited.
The soldiers of the Three Villages Army, who were waiting for death in the woods, exclaimed: "Ahh ”
The arrows flying in the air quickly accelerated and fell into the woods, and suddenly burst into red flames, and the surroundings suddenly brightened.
