The granary next to Asakusa has a fence, and the flames burning on the brazier dispel the surrounding darkness, and teams of samurai patrol back and forth with spears.

Suddenly, the northwest corner suddenly shouted loudly, and a team of less than a hundred people appeared from the darkness. As the fuse burned out, the sound of the fuse gun echoed in the darkness.

"Defeat the warriors and seize the rice!" The farmers holding wooden sticks, hoes and shoulder poles were attacking the granary in a noisy way, with the food they depended on for their living.

Many of the rebels lacking bows and arrows had to throw stones to attack the warriors.

The third war broke out between the two sides for the granary, and the number of angry rebels was large. Once the warriors were submerged, they would be beaten with hoes and shoulder poles.

For a moment, people were overturned by horses in the northwest corner, and more than a dozen warriors were quickly beaten up. The barracks near the granary were filled with the sound of flag-books urging soldiers to prepare for battle.

"The offensive went unexpectedly smooth..." The temporary commander of the rebel army led thousands of peasants. The ronin easily captured four granaries, but the resistance he encountered was minimal, which made him feel strange.

"Move all these rice!" The first thing the farmers who had just occupied the four granaries was to empty the rice in the granary.

"It's not the time to move rice away! The other party will soon organize troops to counterattack and must completely occupy the entire granary area!" The rebel commander felt helpless about these refugees who wanted to compete for food when they saw it.

The refugees followed China for food. Although China would soon gather a group of troops, their discipline was too poor and they did not realize that they were in danger of being surrounded by shogunate samurai troops.

In the chaos, one person could not eat a bag of food for a few days. It would be a loss to sacrifice hundreds or even thousands of lives for a few days.

Lao Nakamasato Horita Masamoto ambushed in the dark with a group of the most elite shogunate samurai and quietly headed towards the direction where the rebels were. He hated the rioters who wanted to seize the granary.

In addition to the ambush led by Horita Masamoto himself, the shogunate samurai on the surface were also gathering forces to counterattack the rebels who were invading the northwest corner.

"Before the enemy has not fully reacted, we will take full control of the granary area!" The temporary commander led the rebels to attack other granaries.

Just as the rebels were pouring into Asakusa's granary area, Horita Masamoto led his men to seize the rebels' retreat and launched a raid from behind.

This elite samurai unit used their flintlock rifles that the Kyushu Army had helped. The rebel soldiers who were fired in the dark were fired and had no protective gear and were scattered in a dense and noisy manner.

"The enemy appeared behind us, and we were surrounded by the shogunate!" The rebel soldiers discovered the troops of Horita Masamoto who were lurking behind them, and fell into panic.

As regular soldiers, the shogunate samurai easily defeated the psychological defense line of the rebels.

"Don't panic, we are a lot of people, we just need to divide some of our troops to defeat the enemy behind us!" The rebel commander tried to stabilize the morale of the army, but the morale of the refugees collapsed with one blow. Many people blindly ran around in the darkness, did not obey the command, and only used a little fire to distinguish the direction.

Rebel soldiers fell near the granary, and some even fell at their own people because of trampling on each other.

The plan to seize the granary was Tanaka Naiichi, but he did not participate in the battle himself, but chose to observe the progress of the battle from a high ground not far away. He also held a telescope given to him by the Kyushu Army.

"The enemy has indeed adopted the encirclement strategy." Tanaka Zeichi can infer the enemy's tactics by relying on the direction of the shouting and the fire. "The reserve team is ready to attack the enemy and cannot retreat before defeating the enemy."

"I see that the shogunate samurai is well trained, so our reserve team will come forward and rescue our surrounded people. If we want to attack the opponent, we must be the first to collapse." Tanaka Zeichi's subordinates felt incomprehensible about the tactics proposed by their boss.

Tanaka Naiichi's deployment was entirely to demand that the rebel army now fight the excellent shogunate samurai. However, the rebel army formed by the mob gathered was probably not at all likely to win.

"Just follow our orders. To overthrow the samurai privileged class, there must be some price." Tanaka Cheng said deliberately.

"I personally lead the reserve team to attack the enemy's team." A backbone of the China Association said with a tough bullet.

Tanaka Sei watched this backbone member in charge of military affairs sink into the darkness, as if he was talking to himself: "The refugees we gathered are actually a mess of sand. With their power alone, they cannot overthrow the shogunate. To overthrow the samurai group, they also need to use their power to attack the sage's shield with their spear."

Seiichi Tanaka heard from his teacher Huang Zongxi about the story of "Han Feizi" about the spear and the shield of the son.

"The opponent's reserve team has been put into the battlefield!" The ambush led by Horita Masamoto was alert to the fire dragon approaching them - the rebel army holding torches.

"I'm so impatient to let Taro Ono lead the reserve team to support them. They dare to play military tactics with me. "Masamoto Horita personally shot and hunted the surrounded refugees with a flintlock rifle.

Horita Masamoto was an important official of the shogunate. He participated in some battles and vacated his reserve team early in the morning.

"The villain immediately went to inform Ono Taro." A samurai replied.

Horita Masamoto led the samurai to fight with Tanaka's army of refugees in the northwest corner of the granary area. If Horita Masamoto gave up the idea of ​​annihilated the refugees, the refugees might have dispersed, but Horita Masamoto hated these refugees fighting for the granary and wanted to wipe them out.

After the arrival of the rebel army's reserve team, it formed a counter-encirclement against Masamoto Horita. Tens of thousands of people from both sides fought repeatedly around the granary, and the casualties were heavy. Masamoto Horita suppressed the rebel army of tens of thousands in the dark with more than a thousand troops.

However, Taro Ono's reserve team has not been seen for a long time. Not only that, Horita Masamoto was originally tracing the retreat of the Rebel Army, but he found that the number of rebel troops around him was increasing, and the 300 ambush troops he led was actually trapped in the rebel army's counter-encirclement.

"Impossible, why did their number increase?" Horita Masamoto found that the gunpowder he led was about to run out of gunpowder soon, and there were more and more refugees around him.

The refugees who were sniped by Masamoto Horita found that the muskets of the ambush troops led by him were gradually sparse, and they mustered up the courage to surround them.

"Little... Taro Ono betrayed us. He led the reserve team to attack us. The granary has all fallen!" A panicked Hamoto fled to Masamoto Horita, which made him understand why the refugees could free up their troops to siege his troops.
