Chapter 402
It was another early morning, and the mist was mixed with cold air. If it weren't for the military force winding on the mountain road, there wouldn't be anything special about this morning.
Just after New Year's Eve, the time froze on January 10, 1543. At this time, the Otomo family coalition launched another attack on the Ouchi family's main formation in Ayabe Castle.
Faced with the surging enemies, the Danaijia coalition was not to be outdone and immediately fought firmly. The two sides fought fiercely in a place called Oshima. Just when everyone thought that a battle would end in a way that both sides had a victory or defeat, as the Ayabe family, the Kamiyo family, the Nishimuda family and others in the Danaijia coalition camp, suddenly became in trouble and pointed the gun at the surrounding Danaijia allies...
The Oui family coalition immediately fell into chaos and was eventually defeated under the fierce attack of the Outo family coalition. Sugi Yoshiyun had to take the defeated army and retreat.
When Masayoshi, who had been closely watching the battlefield situation, learned of this situation, he immediately led a large army to Sefukuji Castle to help the Outo family coalition forces resist the pursuit of the Outo family coalition forces. The so-called "death of lips and teeth" is cold. Once the Outo family coalition forces are defeated or even withdraw from Feiqian, the Luo family will have to resist the attack of the Outo family coalition forces, which is full of morale. Therefore, this time, Masayoshi has to go out.
Masara rode on the back of the love horse "Hailihei" with a solemn expression. Since entering the twelve years of astronomy, the weather has obviously been much colder than in previous years. Even the good horse "Hailihei" kept spraying cold from its mouth at this time. Masarara sneaked into the eyes to see everyone's behavior. He found that no matter the retainers or soldiers, there was no shivering. Even the elderly Kakukuma Shisong and the young Bukit Murakami and others straightened their bodies. The morale was available...
Zhengliang looked back again. The brigade of soldiers was lined up and followed behind. This time, most of the combat power in Zhengliang's territory was brought out, and there were as many as thousands of people. At this time, these Luo family's regular soldiers were moving forward with determination. The team also maintained a neat formation, and even prepared to deal with the attack at any time.
Compared with the regular soldiers, the more than a thousand temporary soldiers gathered together seemed much worse. Every thirty to forty these farmers were a team, and a hiking regular juvenile was the leader of the voyage. They carried two long spears or long marugi bows on their shoulders. They walked forward with difficulty, and were stuck behind their backs with home patterns and fluttering weakly with the wind.
Because the armour and even weapons of the peasant soldiers are now temporarily distributed by the Luo family. These weapons are all permanent soldiers who eliminated the weapons. The styles are different. This directly leads to the armour of the peasant soldiers appearing a bit messy, and even the faces are not uniform.
Suddenly, the black eagle in charge of jingjing came quickly to Zhengliang. Seeing this, Zhengliang immediately stopped the team.
As Zhengliang's voice fell, the team of regular soldiers stopped instantly and quickly formed the enemy camp. The peasant soldiers behind him made an inexplicable movement. A team of thousands of people crowded on the mountain road. The peasant soldiers stretched their necks and looked forward to see what was going on. The management team's regular foot swearing, whipping with the gun handle, and trying to maintain the formation of foot swaying without chaos. Zhengliang looked at the chaos in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It seemed that the training of these peasant soldiers was necessary to strengthen.
"Sir, there are several strange people appearing on the mountain road ahead. The other party is famous and demanding to see Your Highness." Black Eagle reported.
"Your Highness, the person who came is probably the incompetent brother of his subordinates." Masato Tao, who was beside Masato Masato, immediately said. According to the information reported by Masato Tao back last time, when Masato personally led a large army to pass by the near the Bozhen Mountains, those Shanfu, who promised Masato Tao to surrender to the Luo family, would come to surrender. It seems that the other party is now keeping his promise.
"Oh? Lead the way forward." Masayora said. These mountain slums are nearby forests and lands. If they cooperate, the Luo family would have more information to resist the invasion of the Otomo family.
So under the leadership of Black Hawk, Zhengliang came to the front of the team.
A moment later, a tall young man was taken to Zhengliang's horse. Even by the standards of Zhengliang in later generations, this guy's dress was too "vanguard". His messy hair was combed in a samurai bun, his steel needle-like beard covered with his entire chin, and the ketone pills (a kind of armor) on his body were old and scarred. While the boy looked at him, he was also proudly looking at the horse's Chengshi.
"I said, you are the Lord Zuoweimen of Fat Qian! " Without waiting for Zhengliang to speak, the kid actually pointed at Zhengliang with a sword that resisted the shoulder and asked.
"Bold!! Unruly madman!" The surrounding cloaks and retainers were immediately angry by his rudeness, and they pressed the hilt of the knife, and waited for Masayoro to give the order to kill this guy. You must know that this is an era when warriors can kill civilians at will. Dare to offend the lord's majesty like this is a sinister sin.
Even Tao Masato, who claimed to be the boy's elder brother, was sweating profusely and furious at the same time.
Unexpectedly, this kid turned a blind eye to all this, just grinning and revealing a shiny white teeth. "Give me thirty gold at a time, you are such a fool! Haha!"
"Are you Tao Nakamoto? The big thief who is famous for his back to the mountain?" Masarara immediately narrowed his eyes. This was such an interesting guy. As early as the last time Masarato Tao came back to report, he clearly told Masarara that Tao Nakamoto was a guy with a very strange temper. If it weren't for his own brother's sake, Masarato Tao had no intention of surrendering to Masarara. You must know that with Tao Nakamoto Tao's temper, it would probably bring anger from the lord, causing a murderous disaster.
So the last time Masato Tao also tried it out and went to look for Nakamoto Tao. After using the secret code of the two to contact each other, Masato Tao tells Nakamoto Tao truthfully and lets him choose. After all, as the division of the Tao family of the Mikawa Kingdom, since the family encountered an accident, the two fled to Hayqian. By the way, Masato Tao became a naval general of a wealthy family in Taiqian, while Nakamoto Tao became a mountain in the Wusha Forest. As two bloodlines remained in the family, Masato Tao also hoped that his younger brother could make a careful choice. Who knew that after learning about Masato Tao, Nakamoto Tao agreed to the Luo family's request very readily. So this time, Nakamoto Tao asked for a visit.
"Thieves?! I'm here to be a samurai!" Tao Nakamoto muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm a 100% samurai who you hired to fight! Not a thief." As he said that, he waved the super long Nota knife in his hand a few times.
"Haha..." Masayora laughed at him, "I'm so disrespectful, Lord Tao Nakamoto."
After being joked by Masayoshi's half-aged child, Tao Nakamoto's black face was a little overwhelmed. "If I hadn't wanted to see what you, a stupid and generous lord, wouldn't have been lazy to come. I ran all morning on the mountain road and my straw sandals were worn out. Who knew that I was a child who didn't understand the precious gold."
The cloaks around were almost mad at his rude attitude, but the lord himself looked unhappy. Everyone could only endure it hard, and the hands holding the hilt of the knife burst out blue veins. Only Nobusuke Akaba, who knew Masayoshi's temper, looked at it alone with a smile.
"Am I stupid? Do you think you are not worth the price?"
"Nonsense!" Tao Nakamoto saw that the group's ability was questioned, and immediately shouted loudly. "Our reputation has spread throughout the country for a long time. As long as our hundreds of cavalrymen came out, everyone would be frightened..."
"Is that so? As far as I know, your horses are only two hundred at most, right?" Zhengliang suddenly interrupted his yell and asked in his eyes.
"Uh! Who said that?" Masayoro suddenly revealed the details, and Tao Nakamoto couldn't help but look a little red. Obviously, he was a little angry and embarrassed.
"So OK, Nakamoto Tao, I, the Masarara, the Masara of the Left-Emeral Guard, will ask you one last time, in this war in front of you, we will fight against the masses with a huge number of people, and we will die for a lifetime. Are you really going to join?"
Looking at the young general who was thriving in front of him, watching the morning sunshine shine a halo on his armor. Tao Nakamoto stood in front of the horse's head, with a playful smile on his lips, "As a wise thief, how can you not gamble with your highness if you meet such a stupid and generous guy like Your Highness! ... Tao Nakamoto's three hundred ginseng formation."
"Okay, you can fight with me! If you use your bravery to make military achievements, I will give you knowledge and action (half-hereditary land used to pay the samurai masters) and let you be my retainer." Zhengliang solemnly promised.
"What!" Tao Nakamoto was shocked, "He is a thief!" The onlookers also moved, especially those who were always prepared. Tao Nakamoto was also shocked at the moment. Although he was also a samurai before, it was the verdict of other tyrants. Here, as long as Masaru refused to recognize the samurai, he was not the samurai warrior of the Luo family. This time he joined the Luo family's team, he was also planning to gain military merits and restore his samurai identity. Now that the other party has expressed this condition, it would be strange if he is not surprised.
"Your Highness didn't lie to me, right?" "Dao Nakamoto was already convinced by the ground, his face turned red, and looked at Masaru's face in disbelief! "Can I... I also become a real samurai?"
"No joke!" In front of the excited Tao Nakamoto and the surprised people, Masayoro spoke out this sentence word by word, "The times have changed. From today on, whether it is a peasant, a thief or a wild samurai, in my territory, as long as he has outstanding talents and makes military achievements, he can become a real samurai of the Luo family."
