I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Checking and sorting out food and medicines in stock

Standing on the wall, guard and human

It's just that the busyness of preparing for the battle only lasted 3 days.

Because 3 days later, 3 days after Ogata left the Red Moon Fortress

The 5000 main force led by Inamori is here!

Chapter 553 The legend begins!The offensive and defensive battle of Red Moon Fortress begins! 【5000 words】

On the wall of the Red Moon Fortress, due to the arrangement and scheduling of Qianup, the number of sentry posts has doubled.

The "flame" that Chanup ignited in his speech three days ago is still burning in the chests of many people.

Many people are filled with righteous indignation.

Many people are gearing up.

Many people are determined to defend their homes.

Almost all the clansmen standing guard on the city wall stared at the shogunate army outside the city with wide eyes, for fear of missing any movement in the barracks outside the city.

At this moment, a young man with better eyesight suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the south, then shouted loudly:

"Look! There is movement!"

His shout immediately drew the attention of everyone around him to the south.

What made the movement was not the army camp that blocked the only way out for their Red Moon Fortress.

It's the southern skyline.

All the clansmen standing guard on the city wall saw a nightmare-like scene outside the city: there were continuous black "water streams" emerging from the southern skyline. This was an incalculable number of Japanese soldiers.

They are like black waves, constantly splashing from the horizon, converging with the army that completed the siege of their Red Moon Fortress 3 days ago.

"It's Kazuto's new army." Someone murmured there, with extremely obvious tension and a touch of fear in his tone.

about half an hour later

Shogunate Army, Commander's Battalion

"I understand the specifics." Inamori's tone was neither sad nor happy, "Kai, that means that Ogata Yidaosai escaped?"

"Yes" Gui Yizheng lowered his head in shame, "Master Inamori, please punish me for being incompetent."

In the coach's tent, the generals of the first army and the second army gathered together again.

At this moment, just like that moment: the generals of the two armies reunited again, just like the last reunion, the generals of the first army all buried their heads low, while the generals of the second army turned toward the first The general of the army cast a strange look.

But this time, the heads of the generals of the First Army were buried even lower than last time.

Inamori closed his eyes and let out a long breath:

"We and Ogata Yidaosai are really destined."

On the night before the 3rd, Gui Yizheng was dumbfounded after being attacked suddenly by Ogata and allowing Ogata to break out of their first army's blockade smoothly.

No, to be precise, all the generals of the First Army should be dumbfounded.

They were dumbfounded by why Ogata came again.

They were dumbfounded that Ogata had rushed out of their barracks.

They were dumbfounded by Ogata's skill

After the war, Gui Yizheng was dumbfounded when he made statistics and listened to the situation of the battle.

Listening to the reports of the generals who tried to intercept Ogata but failed, especially Kuroda's report, Gui Yizheng had only one thought: Is this the "legend" who is still alive?

Ogata's attack this time, and the previous one, did not cause too much trauma to the First Army, but it further increased the psychological shadow area in the hearts of the soldiers

After the war, while counting the battle damage, Gui Yizheng dispatched a fast horse to deliver the news to Inamori who led the second army behind them and had not yet reached the Red Moon Fortress.

Kuai Ma arrived at Inamori's camp late at night the day before yesterday.

After completing the meeting with the First Army this morning, Inamori immediately ordered the generals of the First Army headed by Gui Yizheng to discuss matters in the commander's tent. He wanted to ask in detail about the details of "Ogata is here again".

The narration of Gui Yizheng and others lasted for nearly half an hour until it finally ended just now.

"Lord Gui! Please punish him!" Gui Yizheng repeated loudly what he had just said.

Many generals of the Second Army looked at Gui Yizheng with gloating expressions.

"The matter of punishment will be discussed later." Inamori said in a deep voice, "Instead of punishing you, it is better to spend time thinking about how Ogata Yidaozhai found your first army again."

"Could it be..." At this time, a certain general sitting opposite Gui Yizheng said, "Did you do something to annoy Ogata Yidaosai again?"

Ogata Isai's last attack on the First Army was basically because of Mogami Yoshihisa who injured a female companion of Ogata Isai.

This time Ogata Yidaozhai approached the First Army again, so it's hard not to make people wonder if Gui Yizheng and the others did something to offend Ogata Yidaozhai again.

"No! Absolutely not!" Gui Yizheng immediately said loudly.

After shouting loudly, Gui Yizheng turned his gaze back to Daomori.

"Master Inamori! We suspect that Ogata Ittosai is most likely just trying to escape!"

"When Ogata Yidao Zhai launched an attack on our barracks, the gate of the Red Moon Fortress was opened."

"After Ogata Yidaosai broke into our camp, he also rushed south."

"We suspect that Ogata Issai was just trying to escape."

"He stayed in the Red Moon Fortress for some reason."

"After seeing my shogunate army, I thought that staying in the Red Moon Fortress would lead to death, so I fled in a hurry."

After Gui Yizheng's words fell, many generals and soldiers in the tent nodded slightly in agreement.

But at this moment, an extremely calm voice suddenly sounded:

"But it may also be for the purpose of moving rescuers."

Everyone in the tent turned their heads to look at Matsudaira Sadanobu who was sitting next to Inamori who was the owner of the voice.

"Rescue soldiers?" Gui Yizheng asked hesitantly.

"Is there such a possibility?" Matsudaira said calmly, "For some reason, Ogata Yidaosai needs to fight side by side with the barbarians in the Red Moon Fortress. The reason why he charged all the way south three days ago is because In order to go outside to bring reinforcements."

"What kind of rescue can Ogata Yidao Zhai move?" A certain general said, "Who is willing and capable to rescue the barbarians in Red Moon Fortress?"

"I don't know about that." Matsudaira Sadanobu said frankly, "I just mentioned a possibility."

"But I don't think that possibility can be ignored."

"My lord is right." Inamori, who had been silent since just now, said in a deep voice at this moment, "Regardless of the reason why Ogata Ittosai attacked the First Army, he and the Red Moon Fortress should have connections. connect."

"But no matter what kind of connection Ogata Isai has with the Red Moon Fortress, and what Ogata Isai's attack on the First Army camp is for, what we have to do remains the same. Moon Fortress!"

"As long as we take down the Red Moon Fortress as quickly as possible, even if Ogata Ittosai is going to rescue soldiers, there is nothing to fear!"

Inamori's last yell changed the atmosphere in the commander's tent. The generals of the first army who had kept their heads down all the time also raised their heads.

"Let's put aside the matter of Ogata Yidao Zhai for now."

"Now let's get down to business."

Inamori shook the military equipment in his hand lightly.

"In the past three days, those barbarians have not surrendered, so their attitude is very obvious." Inamori looked around at the generals, "Since these barbarians are stubborn, let's let them recognize the reality. "

"Gui." Inamori turned his gaze to Gui Yizheng who was at the side.

Gui Yizheng, who was called on suddenly, shuddered and hurriedly answered "Yes".

"I'll give you the First Army a chance to put your merits to shame."

"After half an hour, I decided to launch a tentative attack on the Red Moon Fortress."

"This tentative attack is in charge of your First Army."

"Fight a beautiful battle, to prove to me that your first army is not always defeated."

After hearing Daomori's words, Gui Yizheng was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly with ecstasy on his face:

"Yes!"

Red Moon Fortress, Outer City Wall

"It's amazing." Looking at the Kazuto army outside the city, Retannoe's face darkened uncontrollably, "How many people are there in Boundless?"

"According to my estimation, it should be more than 7000, less than 1." Chanup on the side responded softly.

Retannoe: "So most of Kazuto's troops have come."

After the clansmen standing guard on the city wall discovered that a new Japanese army had appeared outside the city, they immediately reported the news to Chanup.

While hurrying to the city wall to check the situation, Chanup also quickly ordered: Everyone get ready for the battle.

Accompanying Chanup to the city wall to check the situation was their "second in command" Retannoe of the Red Moon Fortress.

After the two climbed onto the city wall, their faces sank as if they had rehearsed in advance.

Not to mention them Ainu people who basically lived a life of indifference to the world, even Kazuto, in this peaceful era, had never seen such a large army of nearly ten thousand.

However, although the faces of Chanup and Retannoe both sank, there was no trace of fear on their faces.

"The army of Heren is basically here." Retannoe said slowly, "It is not surprising when the attack will be launched."

Speaking of this, Lei Tanuoye paused as if he remembered something.

Then, while showing a helpless expression, he asked Chanup in a half-joking tone:

"Chanup, since you lived in the land of peace when you were young, did you really not learn some ways of fighting with people during that time?"

"At that time, I focused all my energy on broadening my horizons." Chanup showed a faint wry smile, "I didn't learn how to fight people."

"Tsk." Retannoe curled his lips, "It's really annoying. We only lack a person who knows how to defend this kind of fortress."

In the past 3 days, the people headed by Chanup have been preparing for the battle in full swing.

In the process of preparing for the battle, they also discovered their biggest shortcoming.

That is, they lack people who know how to fight this kind of "defense battle".

The Ainu people have been living a life of fishing and hunting without knowing what the city wall is.

When it comes to fighting in the wild, they still have some experience.

But in the face of the "defense battle", they were completely blinded

Therefore, although Chanup and the others quickly discovered their shortcoming, their timely discovery was of no use. After all, they could not conjure a person who knew how to fight "defending the city" out of thin air.

"We've done everything we can," Chanup said softly. "We'll just leave it to fate."

boom boom boom

It's like pinching it right.

As soon as Chanup's voice fell, a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the city. This sound was like the muffled sound of thunder. It was the sound of the shogunate army starting to move.

Outside the city, countless shogunate soldiers filed out of the barracks and gathered in the open space between the Red Moon Fortress and the barracks.

The sound they made when they drove out of the barracks made Chanup and Retannoe standing on the city wall feel the ground trembling slightly.

"Retannoe."

Chanup said in a calm tone.

"Help me tell everyone to prepare for battle."

the first army

The First Army, which had already lined up in the open space between the Red Moon Fortress and the barracks, was located in the center of the army formation.

Inside the formation, Gui Yi was riding his war horse, holding a troop, and looking at the Red Moon Fortress in the distance.

Looking at the Red Moon Fortress from a distance, he repeatedly regained the confidence and high spirits that had never appeared after Ogata's "second attack".

For the past 3 days, Gui Yizheng has been uneasy. He is worried about how Inamori will punish them who have once again humiliated them after joining forces with Inamori and the others.

Just because he has been uneasy, Gui Yizheng was so excited when he learned that Inamori was willing to give them a chance to pay off their crimes, and the way to pay off their crimes was to let their first army take the lead. words to describe.

"Lord Gui."

At this time, Kuroda's voice suddenly sounded from behind Gui Yizheng.
