Warring States Eagle

"Rumble rumble..."

Just when the temporary army of farmers and soldiers led by Sasaburo Roshi and Koshichiro collided fiercely with the riot army composed of monks, soldiers and mobs led by Lai Lian Shimama on the opposite side, a burst of waves came from the east of the valley. "Rumbling" sound.Immediately after the beginning of this article, everyone felt that the place where their bodies were standing seemed to be shaking, and there was a bit of an illusion of standing unsteadily, and the soldiers from the two sides who were aggressively colliding with each other suddenly stopped their movements When he got down, he froze in mid-air in the action of holding a weapon to kill.

Xia Jian Lai Lian, who was behind his own army formation, suddenly turned around and had a look of horror on his face.I saw that in the mountain road behind, the cavalry team of the Luo family came at this moment with overwhelming momentum, and the hooves of the horses trampled on the ground and roared, as if an earthquake was coming.

"Get ready, charge with the spear."

Isano member Chang roared and stretched the horse gun in his hand straight forward, his body leaned forward slightly, almost sticking to the horse's back, the wind blew on his face, and after he gave an order, the cavalry lined up Orders to raise guns from various squads kept ringing out in the middle, so the five hundred cavalry squadrons of Luo's family immediately set up a strip-shaped spear array.Every cavalryman laid down the horse gun in his hand, clamped it tightly under his armpit, and stared straight ahead.

Standing side by side with Masahiro Isano are five cavalrymen. Due to the limited width of the mountain road, in order to make better use of the cavalry's impact and combat capabilities, a row of six cavalry is the maximum impact formation.At this time, Isano Yuanchang was also looking at the enemy camp in front of him.In order to let this cunning enemy army fall into today's trap, he spent a lot of energy.

When he was ordered to come to the eastern region of Zhoufang State to quell the riots, it was just beginning.Everything is still going well.All the rioting forces that encountered the [-]st Standing Cavalry Division led by him were completely destroyed.Things became more difficult until they encountered the rioting army fleeing from Anyi Kingdom ahead.

The main reason is that the chief general of this riot army is too cunning. Whenever the army he leads approaches the nearby area of ​​the opponent, the chief general of the opponent divides the gathered mob into several groups, and then disperses and flees. It confuses his vision, preventing him from chasing down to the specific location of the chief general, and on the other hand preventing him from gathering and annihilating the rioting army.After several failed pursuits.He found that the other party seemed to be heading in the direction of Marsh City.Although the opponent's main general has been moving to the mountain forest area, and the continuous division of troops confuses the sight of his pursuing army, his real purpose is still seen by Isano.

It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages for the opponent's general to move his power to the mountain forest area instead of going along the open coastal area to the marsh city area.The advantage is that you can avoid being besieged by the Luo family's cavalry by virtue of the mountain and forest terrain, and you can also escape quickly by virtue of the terrain. The disadvantage is that due to the terrain restrictions, the opponent's general will no longer be able to spot Isano Yuanchang in time as before. The specific movement of the cavalry.

What's even more unfavorable is that since Isano Yuanchang knows that the opponent's real purpose is to go to the marsh city, then Isano Yuanchang, who is more familiar with the local terrain than the opponent's general, just knows exactly.If you plan to go to Marsh City from the mountain forest area, you must pass through Zhounan Village.Before arriving at Zhounan Village.Another canyon must be passed.So Isano Yuanchang immediately sent someone to find the village head Luo Shi Sasaburo, Xiao Qilang and others in Zhounan Village, and assigned them the task of intercepting them.In order to prevent the opponent's general from discovering the abnormality, Masahiro Isano could only ask Sasaburo Roshi and others to organize a temporary army of farmers and soldiers in the local area.This army does not need to attack the opponent, it only needs to guard the camp in the canyon to prevent the opponent from escaping.And also in order to avoid being suspected by the opponent's cunning general, they can't build fortifications in advance on the enemy's only way.

After arranging everything, Isano Yuanchang led the Luo family's cavalry squadron to hide in a nearby hidden mountain forest in advance with the help of a local guide.That's why today's canyon decisive battle finally took place.

At this time, Masano Isano didn't know that the leader of the riot army was the well-known strong general Lai Lian Shimoma, but judging from the previous series of cunning performances of the enemy general, Masano Isano felt that this This riot army is completely wiped out, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.Now, the opportunity for a decisive battle between the two sides has finally come.

"Boom..." The Luo family's cavalry charged towards the panic-stricken enemy army with the force of thunder.

"Form the formation, quickly form the formation, and be on guard!" At this time, as the enemy's chief general, Lai Lian Xiama finally reacted, so he immediately organized the monks behind to form an formation in an attempt to block the opponent's attack.

"It should be able to stop the opponent." Looking at the monk soldiers who hurriedly formed an formation, Xiajian Lai Lian thought so.

It is a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.When the Luo family's cavalry charged forward on their horses, the blocking formation formed by the always brave monks was knocked away by the neighing of the opponent's horses and the sharp spears of the horse, like hot knives cutting butter.The sound of the huge impact was so loud that the sound of fierce fighting was covered up. The cavalry of the Roche cavalry picked up the monk soldiers in the front with their spears, and then the horses rushed into the formation of monk soldiers that instantly became chaotic. The wish of the Luo family's cavalry was due to inertia.

"Run."

Who knows who yelled, and the monks and mobs in the rear seemed to wake up suddenly. Immediately, everyone turned around and started running in a hurry.Although they are fanatical believers, they will panic under the pressure of absolute strength.Of course, there are always some exceptions among these people. At this time, more than a dozen people enthusiastically shouted the slogan "Namo Aniduofo" and rushed towards the Luo family cavalry beside them.

"die!"

Seeing these fanatical monks rushing towards him, Chang Isano, who was like a tiger descending from the mountain, shot directly through the whole body of a monk who was shouting to kill, and was then picked up high. Throw a few distances at once.fell into the crowd of the enemy.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Lai Lian couldn't help but froze in place.Pick up a big living person and fly.Such arm strength is too terrifying!And there was such a fierce general in Luo's family, and a strong fighting spirit immediately surged in his heart.

Just when Lai Lian had a fighting spirit in the next day, Chang Isano, who was wearing Luo's armor, picked and killed a fanatical monk soldier, and then took the lead again, waving the big gun in his hand, stabbing, picking, and charging.Killing, almost no one can stop it.I saw Ji Yeyuanchang on his horse, swinging the tip of his gun wildly. Where the point of the gun passed, more than a dozen enemy soldiers fell to the ground with their chests in their arms.

And behind Isano Yuanchang, several short guns flew out, cutting through the air and making a sharp and rapid sound, shooting the enemy monk soldiers who were about to rush forward to fight with Isano Yuanchang directly to the ground.Seeing that Isano Yuanchang was so brave, the other Luo family cavalry members' morale was also greatly boosted at the moment, and they also shouted in unison.Drive the horse to continue to charge towards the enemy.

Facing the charge of the unstoppable Luo family's cavalry, even the most brave and fanatical monk soldiers did not open their guns.They didn't dare to fight head-on with them, but the crazy believers and monks with problematic heads wanted to step forward to forcefully attack the cavalry of the Luo family, but they were all in the end. These people were either picked up by guns or directly hit by horses. , and was crushed to death by a horseshoe.

No one can stop the cavalry of Luo's family right now, Isano Masahiro and his cavalry almost killed in front of Lai Lian Shimoma in a matter of moments, and those beside him who had been following him since he was in Echizen Kingdom The monks stood in front of him desperately, trying to block the cavalry's charge, but under the throw of a round of short spears by the Luo family's cavalry, half of them were killed or injured on the spot.The rest of them were killed by Isano Yuanchang and the Luo's cavalry who rushed over immediately.

Seeing that there was only one person left, Xia Jian Lai Lian, known as the brave general who had always committed crimes, showed his terrifying strength at this moment.I saw him flicking the big gun in his hand, standing on the spot and swinging it directly at the legs of the horses of the Luo family cavalrymen who were rushing towards him.The cavalry's horse suddenly sank into the ground, and he fell directly from the high-speed galloping horse.

However, Chixue Guangqing, the deputy general of the First Standing Cavalry Division, aimed at Xia Jian Lai Lian nearby and threw a short spear. Although Xia Jian Lai Lian was alert and dodged in time, the short spear still rubbed against his right shoulder. But passing by, several blood flowers splashed out from the right shoulder immediately.But in the next day, Lai Lian still showed great bravery under the pain, and with a swing of his gun, he knocked off a cavalryman of Luo's family from his horse.

Isano Yuanchang couldn't tolerate Jian Lai Lian's repeated killings. He slapped the horse on the spot and killed him with a gun in his hand.Shimoma Lai Lian knew the power of Isano Yuanchang's shot, but in danger, he still used the big gun in his hand to parry Isono Yuanchang's shot.The gun head swung, and the arm strength of the two was evenly matched at this moment, neither of them could do anything to the other.

But Xia Jian Lai Lian still could not escape the fate of the end of the martial arts here. Just after he blocked the assassination shot by Isano Yuan Chang, just before this new force was born, the first standing cavalry squadron of the Luo family followed. A lieutenant, Tianwei Zhongyuan, rode over and stabbed directly into Xiajian Lailian's neck, and the tip of the spear came out from the back of Xiajian Lailian's head.Immediately, the figure of Lai Lian Shimoma, who had caused headaches to the Hancang family of the Echizen Kingdom and was also known as the fierce general of the Ichigo sect, was submerged under the rolling horseshoes of the Luo family's army.

"The enemy general will be taken!"

The moment when Lai Lian's head, together with his helmet with a brown sickle in front, was picked up by the Luo family's cavalry with the point of their spears.The morale of the monks and mobs who were still fighting in the canyon suddenly collapsed.These monks and mobs watched this scene in disbelief, but they were convinced of the news when they saw Lai Lian's helmet and the main flag seal representing the general being cut down by the Luo family's army.

Xiajian Lai Lian's prestige among monks and mobs is well known to everyone, and now Xiajian Lai Lian's head has been captured by the Luo family's army. Of course, these soldiers under Xia Jian Lai Lian's command can't contain the excitement in their hearts Frightened, he lost control and ran towards the canyon in the direction blocked by Roshi Sasaburo and Koshichiro's group of peasant soldiers.

Of course, there were also a few loyal and brave monks who wanted to take back the head of the chief general Lai Lian Xiajian, but they were all chopped to the ground by the Luo's army whose morale was boosted by the killing of Lai Lian Xiajian.

At this time, under the impact of the Luo family's cavalry squadron, the enemy's rear formation showed a tendency to be defeated.And the enemy's center line finally reacted, and some generals or monks tried to organize the army to turn around and block it.However, they were dispersed by monks and soldiers, especially mobs, who were defeated from the rear.

See such a fighter.Naturally, Isano Yuanchang and the Luo family cavalry under his command would not let them go.They drove the broken soldiers to the enemy's center and continued to press.Until the enemy's center formation also began to be defeated, and then rushed to the front formation that was fighting with Roshi Sasaburo, Koshichiro and others.At this time, Roshi Sasaburo, Koshichiro and others finally encountered the greatest blocking pressure since the development.

At this moment, Sasaburo Roshi was sandwiched between the crowd, directing the crowd to intercept the enemies who were continuously coming up.Standing in front of the sharp-headed Xiao Qilang was holding a Taidao in his right hand and a side in his left hand. His eyes were red and his hair was dyed red. Since the beginning of the battle, he had killed seven monk soldiers and eighteen mobs.It is unknown whether he is alive or dead, but when he fell to the ground, he crossed over. He completely lost the leisure and elegance of cutting off the enemy's head and hanging it around his waist. He stared fiercely with his bloodshot eyes wide open. The monks, soldiers and mobs who dared to charge up were really majestic.

The enemies in front saw that he was extremely brave, and most of them only dared to shout from a distance, but did not dare to fight close.However, with the continuous appearance of routs in the rear and the hacking and killing of the cavalry of the Luo family in the rear, these monk soldiers and mobs who were blocked by Xiao Qilang and others in front of them began to flee for their lives.They clenched the spears in their hands and stopped their steps of retreating. Instead, they held up the spears and other weapons and pointed them at the Luo family's team blocking the canyon in front of them.

"Hehe. Now I know I've been tricked? Still want to run? It's too late!"

Koshichiro, who just cut off the neck of a mob with a single knife, showed a cruel smile after realizing the change of the enemy army in front of him. However, he looked even more powerful and terrifying. He suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted violently: "All the soldiers obey the order and guard it for me. The cavalry army of our family is coming!"

At this time, there were only a hundred or so Luo's family's squads left, and all of them let out a beast cry of "Ho Ho", and then stood firmly in place.They were determined not to let the monks, soldiers and mobs in front of them take a step forward, lest they flee to the rear and harm their village and their families.

"Run away, they are coming, they are coming!"

At this moment, a mob who was slightly closer to the rear suddenly shouted in horror.It turned out that it was the cavalry of the Luo family from behind who were chasing fiercely.As soon as the courage was raised to warn, the mob was shot in the throat by a short gun of the Luo family cavalry.With such a simple and clean shot, the mob made a sound of unwillingness before he died, and fell to the ground with his hands touching his bloody throat.

"Ah! Help!"

At this time, the enemy's center formation was finally completely defeated by the Luo family's cavalry, and there were continuous screams from there.

At this time, the people who were blocked by Luo Shi Sasaburo, Xiao Qilang and others couldn't wait any longer, they shouted and rushed to the Luo family's team responsible for intercepting.However, the monks and soldiers who were planning to form a spear array to attack were even more chaotic due to the impact.

The mobs are different from the monks and soldiers who have been brainwashed and have stakeholders. They just use their outbursts to carry out "random arrests" all the time.Random arrests are robbing villages, bullying the weak and seizing their rations and property to balance the losses of their own expeditions. Who makes these mobs different from the monks and soldiers under Yixiangzong? There are rich rewards.

However, the monks and soldiers under Yixiangzong all rely on Yixiangzong to support them, and they have rice and grain to take, so it is not difficult to establish strict discipline for them, that is to say, as long as Yixiangzong is willing, even if they are marching At that time, if he dared to lag behind, even if he just wanted to tie his shoelaces, as long as he didn't ask for leave with the team officer, it would be a felony of beheading.It's just a pity that Yixiangzong has not yet established a complete military discipline, so some incidents of discrediting often occur.

These mobs really didn't have the courage and guts to resist the fierce attack of the Luo family's cavalry who killed them from the rear. They would undoubtedly be doing their best to kill themselves.What's more, these mobs usually only bully the weak and follow the brigade to pick up the cheap and fight with the wind. How often have they seen such a formation, so they are naturally the largest group among the routs.Under the impact of a large number of mobs, even the monks and soldiers who wanted to resist were smashed to pieces, unable to organize effective resistance at all.

Seeing more and more enemy troops gathering in front, Roshi Sasaburo immediately ordered the team responsible for blocking the city to encircle the circular defensive formation, and at the same time protect the wounded soldiers who were injured in the fierce battle just now and could no longer fight, and slowly started Move towards the edge of the canyon.This was discussed by Isano Yuanchang at the beginning.Their mission this time is only to temporarily stop the enemy.Wait until the cavalry of Ji Ye Yuanchang appears.It's time for them to defend themselves.But at this time, not only do you not need to continue the deadly battle, but you also need to avoid blocking the enemy's pursuit of your own cavalry, so naturally you have to move to the edge of the canyon, so as not to stop your own cavalry in the middle of the canyon. shock.

And those mobs and monk soldiers who were being attacked by the Luo family's cavalry would think so much. Once they saw that Luo Shi Sasaburo and others who blocked their way of life gradually moved away to make way for them, they didn't bother to continue following this A small army is fighting.So he quickly forcibly escaped from the passage that appeared.

How can two legs run better than four?At this time, the Luo family's army, which had already killed Lai Lian's army in the rear and the center in one breath, was rushing towards them, chasing the enemy relentlessly.Under the leadership of Isano Yuanchang, the cavalry of Luo's army killed the enemy like sheep into a pack of wolves, killing the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.

In the evening, the fierce battle that lasted for a day finally came to an end, and the army of more than a thousand people led by Xia Jian Lai Lian.In the end, only a dozen people escaped by chance, and the remaining more than 1000 people were not captured in fierce fighting.They were killed directly after being captured, and more than 1000 heads were placed in the canyon like hills.As for the corpses without heads, they were burned and transferred under the order of Masahiro Isano.The fire that burned for most of the night illuminated the entire canyon, and in the fire, there were some strange sounds from time to time. It seemed that there were some monks, soldiers and mobs begging for mercy before they died during the day, and there were also screams before they died. ...

After resting overnight in the village under the jurisdiction of Roshi Sasaburo near the canyon, leaving the wounded soldiers and horses to recuperate temporarily in the village, Masahiro Isano headed straight to the west of the village with thousands of heads that had been cleared overnight by the village women and children. away from the marsh city.

After arriving at the foot of the marsh city, Masahiro Isano placed the heads of thousands of enemy troops in a Jingguan and piled them under the city. At the same time, he also planted the main flag representing the enemy army next to the Jingguan. People loudly proclaimed the destruction of the enemy's army from under the city.After a full day of publicity, Masahiro Isano shot the heads of Shimoma Lairian and others into the city through the launcher of the flying fire meteor.A series of actions by Masahiro Isano caused the defenders of the marsh city, who had been stubbornly resisting until recently, and their morale had been boosted because they learned that reinforcements were coming to help, to fall into dead silence.

In the castle tower of Numajo City, Sugishige, who was the last governor of Zhou Fangshan's family, was trembling all over at this time.

"It's over, it's really over!"

Sugishige's mouth kept repeating such a sentence.Back then when the Shan family suddenly launched an attack, taking advantage of the opportunity when Tao Qingxian, the supervisor of the Tao family, died in the First World War in Yanshima, and took the Tao family down in one fell swoop, and took the governor of the Ouchi family, Ouchi Yoshinaga, he was under the command of the family governor. , led the people to take over Marsh City, which originally belonged to the Tao family's territory, and built it here as a bridgehead to prevent the Luo family from invading the Western Country.

Even though Shigetaka Sugi, the governor of the Shan family, was later killed by the Luo family, and the Shan family's territory in other parts of the West Country was occupied by the Luo family, and Nuocheng became an isolated island, he still continued to be the governor of the Sugi family, clenching his teeth .Even during this period of time, the Roche family has been using their weapons that make loud noises (actually large barrels) and firearms that shoot kerosene and other things (this is the siege weapon of the Roche family) and he is still able to By blocking the gates of the city with mud and rocks and demolishing flammable houses, they are sticking to it.

In this way, he defended for more than half a year, making it impossible for Luo's family to capture Marsh City.However, as the food dwindled day by day, he became less and less confident.But at this time, a letter that was shot into the city at night gave him and the people in the city great confidence. In the territory occupied by the family, a riot with a wide range of influence was launched.Ever since he got the news, Sugishige knew that his chance had come, but after seeing the Jingguan outside the city and the dilapidated Yizongzhu Banner today, he was afraid. What's more serious was that there was not enough food in the city to support for several days now.At this moment, he was really desperate.

Sitting next to him at this time were his wife, his son-in-law Taro, and even his last retainer Uda Xingxiu.

After taking another deep look at his wife and his son-in-law, Sugishigenaga suddenly stood up, then strode up to his son who was sitting next to his wife, and said, "Taro, you are also the son of a samurai, right?" The five-year-old son was taken aback. He looked up at his father and then at his mother, as if frightened by his father's sudden question.

"Son of a samurai, isn't it?"

"Yes." Finally, Taro's immature voice sounded timidly.

"Father is relieved when you say that. You are still young and walk slowly. I am afraid that you will not be able to walk to the underworld with everyone. You go first."

"..."

"Understood, go to the intersection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and wait for your father to arrive there. Come on, face the Buddha to the west." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, and stood there in a daze, forgetting to cry. His son's chest was pierced with a knife.

"Ah..." Taro's mother was completely shocked by the scene that appeared.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha!"

Like going crazy, Sugi Shigecho twirled the knife in the child's chest again.The child was silent, only the little hands were violently convulsing in the air.Shan Shigecho gripped the knife tightly, and then the child stopped moving.

"Already...already, it's time."
