On the evening of February 27, the 23rd year of astronomy (i.e., 1554), the sun had sunk in the west, and the sunset of the beautiful country was gorgeous. In the past hour, Heshan City has just experienced a life-and-death battle, the casualties of the soldiers in the city are not large, and the arrows and gunpowder are consumed quite a lot, which is also a matter of no choice, the recruits will inevitably attack rationally under the panic, and they will always mature after seeing life and death. The disciples of the sect outside the city suffered heavy casualties, but they did not dare to step forward to move the corpse, so they hung in front of the city gate.

After nightfall, a bonfire was lit outside the city. There are also villages outside Heshan Castle, and the villages are all nearby villagers, and the Tsuyama Basin is the most important agricultural area in Mimasaka Province, and the population is also the largest. These villagers are not grateful, and they have all come to destroy their homes because of their faith.

The bonfire reflected the red sunset, and watching the people who had finally lived and worked in peace and contentment, their houses were dismantled and burned in the fire as firewood, Matsushima Hengsheng felt extremely angry and ironic. People who have been stirred up by faith are so stupid as to destroy their own houses and light bonfires.

Matsushima Hengsheng was angry and sarcastic, and the mount was quickly ready, and more than twenty samurai in light armor appeared in front of him, he sat on his war horse, and said to everyone: "This battle is not to break the enemy, and there is no need to rush too deep, establish the confidence of Heshan City, and bluff. Don't fight to the death, but don't run back without killing a few either. ”

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and they originally thought that they were going to rush into battle, but they thought about it. Now that there are people in Heshan City who have food and water, why do they need to charge desperately. All of them proudly said, "We'll take care of it." ”

Matsushima Hengsheng shouted with a smile: "Open the city gate and beat the drums." Light the torch and charge! "Defending to the death is to defend to the death, to have an attack and a defense to be able to break the game, if you want the enemy not to attack the city, and have to besiege it, the best way is to take advantage of the night lord to attack, so that it can not distinguish the reality of attack and defense.

One person with a torch, more than 20 horsemen with a torch, the city gate was wide open. With a wide field of vision, their eyes looked at the camp in the distance, but they didn't pay attention to the blood-soaked hillside beneath their feet. Matsushima Hengsheng held a spear in one hand, suddenly straightened his body, and roared excitedly: "Brothers, kill!" Without hesitation, he charged towards the camp that had always been a camp.

More than twenty horsemen also burst into all kinds of foul mouths, screaming wildly, and they shouted loudly, hoarse. As he rushed down the hillside, more than 20 torches flew out from behind Matsushima Hengsheng and fell into the crowd that wanted to gather. Several thugs directly opposite were burned by the fire, and the wooden sticks and farm tools were crooked under the pain.

Matsushima Hengsheng saw clearly a face that stood in front of him. It was a crumpled old woman's face, clearly visible under the swaying of the campfire. He obviously didn't let her go just because she was an old woman. The spear in his hand slashed the old woman's head away, and the short, hunchbacked body without a head fell to the ground. Matsushima's mount had already rushed over, slashing and killing.

More than twenty horsemen were slashing in the crowd, and the disciples of the sect were obviously unprepared, and they were suddenly disorganized. The disciples of the sect had always been afraid of their divine courage and did not dare to get too close, and scattered in all directions, but soon they came forward like a tide.

The faces of the mob made Matsushima Hengsheng and the others grit their teeth and be furious, most of them were old and weak women and children, and the samurai killing the old and weak women and children was the most undignified thing, but today they had to raise their butcher knives and slash down. They naively believed that Date Masahiro was the enemy of the Buddha, and that the people of Heshan City were all accomplices of the enemy. They obviously wanted to waste the bodies of Matsushima and the others, so that when they were exhausted, they could be separated and broken individually.

Matsushima Hengsheng saw that the enemies around him were holding weapons from afar and wanted to surround them, he couldn't help but be arrogant, laughed, and shouted to the sect disciples with a small group of fingers: "Kill them for me!" As he spoke, he rushed out of the room.

This is a group of more than 40 people, huddled under an anti-10,000-character flag, shouting the Buddha without the slightest fearless expression, shouting loudly, Matsushima Hengsheng's finger, more than 20 horsemen began to charge. With the help of a galloping war horse, the weapon swung out depends on the inertia of the degree, and the power is countless times greater.

On the battlefield, a horse fight is often the most gorgeous battle.

Matsushima Hengsheng's riding skills are very powerful, and the riding skills of more than 20 horsemen are not bad, at least there is no need to worry about falling off the horse, once the horse falls off the horse, the end is to die under the charge of the stick, obviously they still have the spare strength to kill in a short time.

In a short period of time, this anti-10,000-character banner fell to the ground, and the team of more than 40 people was left with less than a dozen scarred remnants, and the rest were slaughtered by the cavalry of Songdao Hengsheng. If it weren't for a shot in the leg, it would have been almost the end of the victory.

A team of archers appeared on Matsushima's flank, hiding in the crowd under the protection of the believers, and fired arrows at the running cavalry, one of which slashed across Matsushima's cheeks. Matsushima Hengsheng felt a bloody smell at the corner of his mouth.

The spear in Matsushima Hengsheng's hand had already been broken, and now he was holding his naginata in his hand, grinning, and shouting: "Brothers, charge in the direction of the city!" As he spoke, he slashed and killed the disciples of the sect who rushed over.

The cavalry under his command rushed towards the city gate, and Benguang Temple Zhengcheng laughed loudly and shouted: "Kill me, rush up, and surround and kill them!" "Most of the people who have always been active are farmers and small craftsmen, and no one can turn a group of peasants into well-trained soldiers in a day or two!

Benguang Temple's voice was sincere, but the result only made the formation of the disciples of the sect chaotic, and the archers did not dare to shoot arrows at will, and they all wanted to rush up to surround and kill, and soon the road to the mountain gate was crowded into chaos, and only the hundreds of disciples of the sect who rushed in front rushed up in chaos under the call of faith.

Matsushima Hengsheng glanced back at the scene behind him and shouted, "Brothers, dismount and fight me!" "Turning the horse's head on the hillside was to seek death, and the only way to jump off the horse and meet the battle on foot was opened, and hundreds of ashigaru with swords and spears rushed out.

Soon the two sides collided on the hillside, and the sharp spears lightly pierced the ragged disciples of the Yixiang Sect, and instantly turned into a massacre, and in a short period of time, forty or fifty people lost their lives under the swords and guns. The disciples of the Sect immediately became in a panic, and they were frightened by this sudden blow, and they began to flee.

Matsushima Hengsheng once again killed nearly 200 people, and the morale of the city was completely lost, and the fanatical believers who rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties, and the mentality of those believers who came under duress was changed under the bloody and cruel war.

When he left the city, he rode twenty-three, and when he came back, he was still twenty-three cavalry, but there were three unlucky ones who were seriously injured, and the next battle was afraid to be spent in bed, and those who lacked medical care obviously had to rely on willpower to suffer until victory came. The city was thunderous.

The night was sinking, and the camp that had always been a pile was no longer a pile in the east and a pile in the west, but was close together, sitting together in the middle, led by some monks and reciting the Buddhist scriptures of Nam Mu Amitabha Buddha, mourning the relatives who died in battle, and a group of young and middle-aged people on the periphery were cautiously vigilant.

In the camp, Zhengcheng of Benguang Temple, who had just finished the Buddhist scriptures, looked at the silent Heshan City with a pale face and asked, "Shinmi-kun, do you want to tell me if the Date thieves will come to attack tonight?" "He was clearly frightened by Matsushima's surprise attack.

Shinmi Sadatsune looked up at the sparse stars in the sky, shook his head slightly, and said: "The stars are dim tonight, and after a day of fighting, the Date army has long been exhausted, and I am afraid that they will not attack again, but our army is also exhausted." ”

Benguang Temple Zhengcheng saw that the new Zhenjing seemed to have a clever plan, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Shinmi Sadatsune sighed and said: "The casualties in Heshan City in today's battle are not large, and now the number should still be between four or three hundred, they know that we only have two or three thousand people, and there are heavy casualties in today's battle, and it is less than two thousand, they will not think that we will really have the courage to steal the city." Therefore, we first sent a team to beat gongs and drums under the city to disturb their sleep, and then they harassed them every once in a while, until the city was paralyzed and ignored us. This is the perfect time for us to raid and steal the city at night. ”

Benguang Temple Zhengcheng praised loudly after listening: "Wonderful plan, Xinjian Zhenjing is worthy of being a hero, the poor monk is not without a new force, and when it is darkest before dawn, the more than 100 monks and soldiers, the poor monk will be handed over to you, you must seize Heshan City." ”

The new Shinmi Zhenjing was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. Typical cocoon self-restraint, Shinmi Zhenjing originally thought that he was the advisor of Benguang Temple, and obviously he would not charge into battle, but he didn't expect that he had just offered a beautiful plan, but in the end, he pushed it to himself.

In the view of Benguang Temple, the most elite more than 100 monks and soldiers of Benguang Temple were handed over to the new Jianzhenjing, which was to look up to the Xinjian Zhenjing, and it was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the Xinjian Zhenjing. (To be continued......)
