Chapter 947: Attacking the Rear
The three people in the forest are the Luo family's family, the Luo family's home, Masato Takasaka, and the iron cannon general, Yoshimi Da.
As early as half a year ago, the three of them secretly received a secret order from the Lord Zhengliang, secretly dispersed and secretly took the Luo Family's first standing cavalry team, the second standing cavalry team, the second standing cavalry team, the second standing iron cannon team, and the war horses and other combat preparation materials to the Luo Family's Feihou Kingdom and Hinata Kingdom border.
After the assembly, their team began to march towards the Midai family Nakayama Castle at the western border of Hinata, which had been secretly controlled by the Luo family several years ago. In order to cooperate with the secret operations of these teams, Masara also deliberately promoted the news that the Luo family entered the Sahiro family in Toyoko's country. He even deliberately left behind a secret secret to sneak into the Sahiro family's border area of the Luo family (under the supervision of the Luo family's population registration system and the border blockade management system, these works have been discovered by the Black Hawks of the Luo family since they entered the Luo family's territory, but they were not captured until the Luo family attacked the Sahiro family in full force), so that these works can convey false information to the three families, thereby attracting the attention of the three families to the direction of the Sahiro family in Toyoko's country.
Of course, the Shimazu family and the Ito family are not stupid people. Although both families are focused on the territory of the Sakai family according to Masara's calculations, in order to prevent it, they also sent defenders to the border areas bordering the Luo family's territory. So when the army led by Isono Tomosa, Takasaka Masanobu and Irida Yoshimi were about to arrive in Nakayama Castle, they joined forces with the Lord of Nakayama Castle, Midai Yutake to take over the Ito family's defenders who had just been stationed in Nakayama Castle.
Immediately, the army led by Isono, Masato Takasaka, and Yoshimi Irida took a short rest in Nakayama Castle. Then they began to gradually head towards Matsuo Castle along the mountain road. During this period, with the cooperation of Midai Yutake, they quietly took down several Ito family checkpoints and even simple forts in the mountain road, and finally sneaked into the forest that was already selected by the Luo Family Information Pavilion two days ago.
The reason why we need to rest is that during the previous series of raids, most of the roads taken by the army were mountain roads, which were very difficult to walk, and they could not ride horses, so they could only lead horses to hike. Sometimes, because the mountain road was too steep and horses could not move forward, they could only use knives to open up a more soothing road in the woods to pass through. Even so, there were still dozens of war horses along the way (all of which fell into the cliff or hillside because the mountain road was steep, and they fell to death or were injured and could not continue to move forward, so they had to kill them as food), which made everyone feel heartbroken. And everyone was also overwhelmed.
Secondly, it was because of the previous raids and several battles with the enemy troops along the way, and many soldiers were injured. They were also very tired, so they naturally took timely rest.
Finally, it is because according to the information of the local intelligence staff of the Shimazu family and Ito family had been through Matsuo Castle for a period of time, and were already fighting fiercely with the army led by the Lord Masaru Ryosuke in the Fenggou region. This was the best time to attack.
When it comes to the intelligence staff of our family, whether it is the old Isono Masao or Takasaka Masao, Irida Yoshimi, who admires them very much. The reason why he secretly sneaked into the vicinity of Matsuo Castle this time is inseparable from the help of the intelligence staff. Although Midai Yu Takeshi was indeed the first contribution, the intelligence staff who had been lurking in the local area for several years not only provided accurate maps during this period, but also grasped the accurate time so that the army and horses could attack in time. Otherwise, once at the right time
As well as a big time difference, the army will naturally be discovered by the Ito family defenders. After all, the Ito family defenders are not fools. If they do not have the self-protection of the personnel along the way from Matsuo Castle to the western border of Nakayama Castle for a long time, they will definitely be alerted by the Matsuo Castle defenders. Now, when they are on the spot for two days of rest and can no longer postpone the army led by Isono Tomosaki, Takasaka Masanobu Irida Yoshimi, Midai Yutake and others will finally attack.
That night, the sparse stars could not pass through the clouds, and darkness enveloped the earth. The sound of shattering all over the mountains and fields was covered with horse hooves, footsteps, and collisions. The sound of everyone moving forward was extremely subtle, looming, as if from the underground.
"Sir, I'm here, just a mile north of the front." Under the whispering report from a local intelligence officer lurking in the intelligence club, Masano Takasaka, as the leader of the formation, looked up with the sparse starlight.
I saw that a castle appeared in front of me. The lights were shaking on the not-high wall. It was the Shimazu family and Ito family supported the base camp of the Sakai family in Toyogoku. At this time, the sleeping city seemed particularly peaceful.
"Tell me the order and attack the city immediately!" Seeing this, Masatoshi Takasaka immediately ordered. So, under his command, the army quickly rushed towards the west gate of Matsuo Castle.
"Sir, look, the oil lights are the signal of the people in the city to meet us. We at the Xicheng Gate are ready to grab the Xicheng Gate." Just as we gradually approached Matsuo Castle, the personnel from the Intelligence Pavilion came to report again.
"Okay!" Following the direction pointed by the intelligence staff, after seeing a little starlight shining, Takasaka Masatono responded happily. Before the first time, the lord Masaru had explained to him and the old Isono Shinno, the lord, that this time the siege against Matsuo Castle would be cooperated by the people in the city. Now it seems that the lord was indeed prepared. As a result, the siege of our family tonight has added a lot of help.
When Takasaka Masashino and others, who were the pioneering formation, came outside the west gate of Matsuo Castle, there was already a mess at the gate. The defenders inside seemed to be in fierce battles. It was obvious that the troops who were supporting their own troops attempting to seize control of the gate, so as to welcome the army of Takasaka Masashino and others outside the city into the city. However, Matsuo Castle approached the important city where the Shimazu family and Ito family supported the reinforcements of the Sakai family in Toyogoku Kingdom. Naturally, the defenders would not be so relaxed. Moreover, as the staff of the Luo family on the side of the support, the personnel must be limited, so naturally they could not open the city gate in time.
"Range the array and prepare for shooting." After discovering the situation inside the west gate of Matsuo Castle, Masato Takasaka immediately ordered everyone to start siege. As the pioneering formation, the Luo family army quickly formed the array, and rows of archers began to prepare for shooting.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" At this time, the alarm in the city sounded silently, especially after discovering a huge military force suddenly appeared outside the city, the defenders fighting fiercely in the city tried their best to call the police.
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..."
The sky on the city wall suddenly turned red in an instant. The burning fire arrows pierced into the darkness. The arrow sounded shrill, and the dark night sky was instantly broken.
In the city, the commanders from the West Gate drove their horses to the rest of the city gates, "The enemy attacked the South Gate, and help quickly."
In a hurry, most of the soldiers who were still sleeping became a little panicked. Even the soldiers who started gathering were in chaos at this time, and the formation was gone. In the darkness, they were no longer caring about everything. Most of the people rushed to Ximen along the warriors against the crowd.
On the battlements of the west gate, life twisted and struggled in the fire, and howled in pain. The fire burned a samurai master who was the chief general who guarded the city that night. He saw him holding a sword and shouting loudly: "Go up, put it on... hold it on, hold it on, hold it on, don't let the fine works in the city approach the city gate.
However, while he shouted loudly, there were killing sounds rushing. Outside the city, countless shouts gathered.
"Kill!"
As the main force behind, finally came. Countless horse hooves, the cloth strips on the leather boots were pulled off, and snowflakes floated in the firelight. The horse hooves were like thunder, rushing to the city. The ropes that climbed the city were thrown toward the city wall, and the soldiers of the Luo family under the city moved up the rope like ants. The soldiers on the city wall immediately shouted and picked up the spear and stabbed the Luo family soldiers who were climbing up. Some of them even picked up the sword and cut off the ropes that were fixed on the battlements through the iron hook.
At this moment, with a "creak," and under the full force of the Luo Family's family in the city, the city gate was finally opened with a moan of overwhelming heavy load. In the dust that stirred up, a black-armored samurai entered the door with a spear. This person was the first leader of the formation, Masao Nobu Takasaka. Then, a hundred black-armored soldiers rushed in. On the city wall, the figures of the Luo Family's soldiers appeared more and more.
The enemy advances, and the defenders at the west gate of Matsuo City begin to retreat. The retreating soldiers infiltrate into the rescue team, frightened, and the bacteria spread rapidly in the defenders of Matsuo City, and suddenly became in chaos.
The main force of the Luo family's army instantly poured into the city.
"You can't retreat. If you retreat again, you will abandon the city. We have no way to retreat!" The lord of Matsuo City who had just arrived was heartbroken and shouted loudly: "Who will the soldiers of Matsuo City be with me first?"
As the left arm and right arm of Ito's governor, Ito Yoshiyuki, no matter what, it will not lose Matsuo Castle tonight. Otherwise, Ito Yoshiyuki, who is fighting against the Luo family in the Sakai family territory of Toyogoku, and his army will fall into the situation of attacking the Luo family. Moreover, once this city is lost, most of the troops in Hinata's domestic forces have been dispatched to the border between Hinata's western border with the Luo family, resulting in the empty domestic space of Hinata's domestic space. Once this city is lost, the domestic area of Hinata will be quickly captured by the army coming to attack. If this continues, it will be not far from the destruction of the Ito family, so Ito Yuan will definitely not give up Matsuo Castle.
"I am willing to be the general first." Just as Yuan Ito shouted loudly, a samurai immediately shouted loudly and stood in the street. One man and a knife, alone facing the wave of the Luo family army surging ahead. Behind him, more than a dozen samurai also shouted loudly, "It was originally for the adults to fight, live and die together", and rushed out quickly.
