Chapter 1018 Backfire
The night was sunk and was attacked by the defenders of the royal city. Okabe Motonobu's camp was no longer crowded in the east and west, but was tightly leaning against each other, with the middle part still sitting together, and on the outside, there were teams of soldiers cautiously guarding.∽↗
In the camp, Okabe Motonobu, who had just experienced a sneak attack battle, looked at the royal city that was silent in the distance with anger expression on his face, and asked the rest of the Imakawa family's retainers in the military tent: "Everyone, tell me if Imakawa Jungre will come to attack tonight?" He was obviously scared by the previous raid by Imakawa Jungre.
One of the Imakawa retainers looked up at the sparse stars in the sky, shook their heads slightly, and said, "The stars are dim tonight, and after a day of battle, the defenders in the royal city have been exhausted. I am afraid they will not attack again, but our army is also exhausted."
Seeing that the retainer seemed to have a clever plan, Okabe Motonobu asked quickly: "Tell me, let me see."
The retainer sighed and said, "There are not much casualties in the battle today. The number of people should be between two or three thousand now. They know that we only have five thousand people. Today, the casualties in the battle today are less than three thousand. They would not have thought that we would really have the courage to steal the city. So, we will first send a team to beat drums and drums under the city to disturb them to sleep, and then harass them every once in a while, and until the city is paralyzed and ignore us. This is the best time for us to attack the city at night."
After hearing this, Okabe Motoshinobu praised loudly: "You are a hero. We are not without a new force. When it is the darkest time before dawn, we will take out more than a hundred elite soldiers and hundreds of soldiers and hand them over to you. You must seize the royal city."
After hearing the words, this retainer was stunned. He couldn't speak for a long time. He was a typical trap. This retainer originally thought that as a counselor of the Imakawa family, he obviously would not charge in the battle. Unexpectedly, he had just given a beautiful plan, but in the end the matter of the attack was pushed to him.
In Okabe Motonobu's view, handing over the more than 100 most elite soldiers in the Imakawa family's army to this retainer was to respect this retainer and give this retainer a chance to make meritorious contributions. When he saw that the retainer did not nod and agreed in time, he lowered his face and said, "Why, don't you want to?"
"I'm willing to go!"
Immediately, that night, the Imakawa family made several harassment tactics.
In fact, the retainer of the Imakawa family had a good idea, but this time he really used the wrong target. You should know that the governor of the Luo family, Masara, is the most familiar with the harassment tactics. As Masara's son, Nobura, Luo, has followed his father Masara several times to witness the harassment tactics.
So, after seeing the repeated attacks outside the royal city, Luo Shinryu showed a sarcastic smile on his lips and whispered: "It seems that the other party has a capable person, and he actually came up with such a plan for riots, but he used the wrong place."
At this time, Cheng Song Xinsheng, who was beside Luo's family, said in a little confusion after hearing this: "Young Master, will the enemy really come to attack tonight? Is it from the east or the south of the city?"
As Cheng Song Xinsheng said this, the rest of the people in the evaluation room of the royal city were looking at Luo Shinliang, which made Luo Shinliang suddenly feel like he was giving advice.
Luo Shixinliang narrowed his eyes and looked outside the city for a while. The bonfires outside the city were lit, and he looked at nothing. He said with a sarcastic look: "East of the city? South of the city? This is impossible."
Cheng Song Xinsheng didn't quite understand what Luo's words meant at this time, and he said in confusion: "Then why do you choose to harass outside the city and not harass the main entrance? Once there is too much harassment and slackness and paralysis, isn't it just a chance for them?"
Luo Shixinliang nodded and smiled, "Xinsheng, you can think and make progress." After pausing, Luo Shixinliang pointed out outside the city and continued, "In the battle yesterday, the enemy suffered heavy casualties. There were nearly 2,000 people who died in our hands, and twice as many injured. As for ourselves, more than a hundred people were killed in battle and hundreds of injured, which can be said to be a complete victory. Now, the number of people who can fight in the enemy's army should be less than 3,000, and they are also lacking in physical strength. Who would dare to fight at night?"
Natsumatsu Nobukashi thought for a moment and replied, "Is it a samurai? Yes, it is a samurai who is in the Imakawa family army."
Luo Noburo nodded in agreement and smiled: "That's right, the Imakawa family's army will not have more than 100 samurai. In addition, some young and strong elite soldiers will not have more than 500 people stealing the city. If we continue to harass the main gate, we will definitely place most of the power at the main gate. Even if only one person discovers the enemy situation, their strategy will be ruined. Besides, they only have one chance."
Cheng Song Xinsheng nodded repeatedly, and when he heard Luo Shixinliang's last words, he was puzzled: "Why?"
Luo Shixinliang looked at the deep night sky and said meaningfully: "Is the tiger beards we are waiting for easy to pluck?" As he said, he said to several heads of the football teams around him: "Have you asked the scarecrows you to wait for? Don't they want me to disperse their troops? Then let's have a good look."
Zhuzu Light Team Head immediately sneered: "Hi!" As he said that, in the east of the city, in the south of the city and north of the city, the figure flashed under the swaying of torches.
He insisted on the situation and the Imakawa family who was watching the enemy situation in the royal city on a hillside outside the city patted his knees and shouted: "Okay, the royal city guard has been fooled. Thousands of defenders are more than enough to defend one side, but they have to be divided into all sides. It seems loose. Even if he discovered a strong attack and wanted to come from other places to reinforce."
Standing not far from him, Okabe Motoshinobu heard the retainer's loud shout and looked carefully. He also agreed with the retainer's opinion. The retainer also turned his head and smiled and said, "Okabe Tanhamatsu, please take care of him later."
It turned out that in order to ensure that this sneak attack was foolproof and to save the lives of the soldiers, Okabe Motonobu was organized into the raid team and the young soldiers of various retainers and noble families to act together. The pillars of this retainer's family were naturally also included. At this time, the retainer meant that Okabe Motonobu could take care of his retainers and soldiers a little, so as to avoid excessive losses.
Okabe Motonobu naturally understood the meaning of this retainer, so he bowed and said, "Everyone is the same!" In order to prevent all the Imakawa retainers and wealthy families from having opinions on his temporary incorporation, Okabe Motonobu also incorporated the samurai and elite troops in his family into the sneak attack army.
After Okabe Motonobu responded, the retainer did not mention this topic again. He just said to a samurai beside him: "Come to them again, from the east of the castle, approach the river, so that the castle can be seen clearly."
So soon afterwards, Cheng Song Xinsheng let out a light sigh, walked forward two steps, and said, "Young Master, are they here again?" When he looked up, he looked at it from a distance and was vaguely vague. The appearance of thirty or forty flags, a rough look, the size of one or two thousand people seemed to be moving, beating drums and drums, shouting loudly, vaguely.
Luo Shinryu, who was also standing on the city wall, sneered and said, "Action as planned." As he said, he looked at the stars in the sky and said, "It's Chou Time. There is still one hour to Yin Time, so everyone will sniff for a while."
On June 4, 1560, at the fourth hour of the Yin hour, when people were at the most distress, Luo Shixinliang, who was half sitting at the head of the royal city, suddenly heard a low bird cry, and the corners of his mouth slightly cracked and showed a cruel smile. He held the hilt of the cutter of the small chest inserted on the ground with one hand, and murmured: "Come!"
After seeing the actions of Luo Nobuyaki, Nashinaka, Imakawa Jung, Shaoyun Takahashi, Shirouki, Maeda Taki, Ken Kenko Hyoto, and others, who had been waiting for the action of Luo's Nobuyaki, they all made preparations for the people behind them. So above the city gate, dozens of people slowly lifted the wooden barrels that had been prepared in their hands and prepared to fall down at any time. At this time, there was no other sound around, and everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of new orders.
The city was so quiet that only the rapid breathing could be heard. The first thing the defenders learned on the battlefield after a bloody battle was to obey orders. Only by obeying orders could they save their lives. Without orders, everyone kept silent and did not make any sound.
Outside the city, the Imakawa retainer who was in charge of the sneak attack was walking on the battlefield outside the city where the plasma was sprinkled yesterday. From time to time, he could see the corpses not far away from him. He suppressed his nausea and vomiting and moved forward so that he did not make any sound.
The warriors and elite soldiers beside him also resisted the noise other than the sound of moving, for fear of causing noise in the city, so that the city would discover them in advance, and it would be a little closer. Once discovered, it would have to attack, but the result of the attack was difficult to predict.
Behind these people was Okabe Motonobu himself, leading the army to wait. As soon as the city gate opened, he led the army to rush in.
Finally, when approaching the gate of the royal city, the retainer of the Imakawa family stopped. He raised his head and looked up. He saw that there were almost no torches on the top of the city. With the faint light of the stars, he could only see the dark city wall, with no bows, arrows, and shadows of defenders on the wall.
Suddenly, I saw nothing on it. This retainer Fan suddenly felt a sense of palpitations. The city gate was close at hand, but the feeling of palpitations became stronger and stronger. When I looked up again, I was suddenly shocked: "No, there is an ambush!"
The Imakawa family samurai and elite soldiers behind him saw that the retainer was motionless, but did not stop. They had already reached this point and it was impossible to retreat. The warriors who rushed to the front clenched their swords and looked at the retainer with threats.
This retainer knew that if he didn't move forward, he would be the first person to die when the fight started. With a lucky attitude, he had to cover his head and continue moving forward.
"fall!"
At this moment, a calm and powerful voice floated down from the city. Then everyone looked up and saw dozens of figures suddenly appearing on the city. A large basin of sticky liquid poured down and fell on the bodies of the people under the city and the land around them. The ground was so slippery that everyone almost fell down. Some people touched the black liquid on their faces, put it to the tip of their noses and smelled it. They immediately shouted in horror: "Oil, it's tincture oil!"
As he spoke, a torch fell from the top of the city and landed on the ground, which seemed extremely bright. The retainer of the Imakawa family rushed towards the rear like crazy when he saw the torch falling. He wanted to escape from the city gate. He heard a "bang" sound, and the entire ground near the city gate of the royal city was lit. Dozens of Imakawa family samurai and elite soldiers in the front ran around like fire people, "Ah, Ah", thus igniting more people around.
The retainer also fell down because he ran too fast and fell directly to the ground. Before he could get up again, he was constantly trampled on by the Imakawa family samurai and elite soldiers who were also fleeing around him, and eventually he gradually lost his voice.
As the land near the city gate suddenly burned, more and more sneak attack soldiers were lit, causing the greatest chaos, which led to more people falling to the ground in the chaos, causing a chain reaction. Under the light of the fire, the archers on the top of the city aimed and fired, and the iron cannon also made a loud noise.
Far behind, when Okabe Motoshinobu saw the chaos ahead, he immediately shouted: "Retreat! Quick! Retreat!" He no longer cared about the safety of the sneak attack army in front, and planned to withdraw from the battlefield first and then talk about other things. So he hurriedly led everyone around him to retreat to the back. The many military forces behind him were also confused when he saw the scene ahead, so he had to retreat with Okabe Motoshinobu.
However, their retreat was naturally not as fast as those of those who were lit by the fire in front of them. So before Okabe Nobuzo and others could run a few steps, many defeated soldiers rushed into their team, and in the darkness, which naturally caused greater chaos.
"Such a good opportunity is naturally not to be missed. Blow the trumpet!" At this time, Luo Xinliang, who was above the head of the royal city, immediately said.
"Woo, woo, woo..." Then, a series of sounds of the snails sounded in the royal city.
"Kill! Kill! Kill..." Shortly after the sound of the magic roar, a large army suddenly appeared near the royal city. While shouting loudly, they slowly came to the Imakawa family army, which was in chaos.
"No, I've been trapped!" Seeing this, Motonobu Okabe, who was among the chaotic army, immediately exclaimed.
