night
Hucheng of the Luji Kingdom
This is the southeasternmost part of the entire Luji Kingdom and is also the closest place to the Tokugawa Yasushi spirit that has been detected in the southeast direction.
At this time, there were not many civilians left in the city. Most of the people had been relocated back, and most of the remaining ones were cavalry. Each of these cavalrymen rode a white horse. The white horses were extremely tall and were completely covered in iron armor.
This team is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the most elite cavalry in the entire Yan State.
Inside the light shield at night, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry set out from Hucheng, crossed the river and rushed to Tokugawa Yasu's night base. After many explorations, they found that Tokugawa Yasu in the southeast was the farthest away from other gods, and had no city to defend, so the conditions for a night attack in the wild were the most sufficient.
"Hurry up, we have to finish before dawn. There are still more than ten kilometers to go. Hurry!"
In the front, Li Shang loudly reported to the rear, and the cavalry passed the message to the rear, and the speed of the entire team increased again.
Under the moonlight, coupled with the spiritual qualities of the snow horses, this cavalry can not only accurately cut through obstacles, but also achieve multiple accelerations at night.
"Report to the general, the enemy camp is ahead. After long-distance exploration, we found that there are many patrols."
"Report to the general, the enemy camp is still resting. If we continue to charge, we will be on the verge of being exposed."
"All troops are ready to stop the charge. We are still a few kilometers away, which is enough for us to charge directly."
ยทยทยท
Li Shang arranged for the army to rest in place and prepare for the charge, and also arranged for his troops to wait and investigate the surrounding area.
"General, aren't we going to go around and burn the grain?"
A deputy general asked doubtfully.
"It's definitely not possible now. The cavalry makes too much noise at night. If they target the food, the enemy will have time to react. Even if we burn the food, we can easily be intercepted and killed."
"At present, we don't understand the local methods, so we must use the most reliable method of attacking the enemy at night."
Li Shang looked at the enemy camp in front of him with deep eyes. There were patrolling troops there at the moment, but a large number of soldiers had fallen asleep.
The cavalry of Yan State was only gathering local intelligence a few kilometers away. Due to the other party's identity as a spiritual race, they did not dare to make too much noise.
In Tokugawa Yasushi's tent, Tokugawa Yasushi's messenger Miyamoto Tsuyoshi was sleeping soundly. He didn't know when these dull days of garrisoning in the wild would end.
There is a messenger of God above, but he doesn't dare to bring a few women with him, and he is bored to death every day.
On the periphery, several low-level ninjas were training. This was the basic military force of the ninja clan, a common ethnic group in Edo Province. This time, Tokugawa Yasushi was engaged in a cross-border war. Due to shipping costs and public pressure, not many troops and food were arranged.
I originally thought it would be enough to deal with ordinary humans, but I didn't expect to have to wait for two months.
"Muye-san, there seems to be the sound of horse hooves, did you hear it?"
A patrolling human touched his ear. His perception was indeed sharp, or as a second-level spiritual warrior, he still had a certain degree of perception of horse hooves several kilometers away.
"No, how could there be the sound of horse hooves? We ninjas don't ride horses."
The remaining ninja suddenly flew onto the roof. This was their basic move and was considered entertainment.
The noise immediately covered up the small sound that was completely inaudible.
But when the ninja dropped his body, the peaceful night was suddenly broken by a series of crackling sounds.
That obviously didn't sound like the sound of something flying over the eaves or running on the walls, it was the real sound of horse hooves.
"Tata... Tata!"
The sound became louder and louder, and the ground began to shake slightly.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
A special ninjutsu was activated, and a sharp howl woke up all the sleeping ninja soldiers. These people quickly put on their clothes and walked out of the tents to look for weapons.
On the hillside a few hundred meters away, artillery had been pulled up by horses, and a few kilometers away, thousands of cavalry were rushing towards the enemy camp at a rapid speed.
"Gather for defense, this is a cavalry charge!"
"Form a formation and create a military spirit!"
At the commander's command, the ninja army quickly gathered together, and a dark shadow, different from the darkness of the night, loomed in the sky.
This is Tokugawa Yasu's second-line military force, the Black Shadow Army, which is considered one of the ninja clan's high-quality military forces.
The shadows grew thicker and thicker, blocking out the moonlight.
The entire night became dark and gloomy, and other ninja soldiers gradually gathered towards the shadows, and some began to arrange defensive cavalry.
As expected of Tianjiao's elite team, their strength is indeed very good. Even when the cavalry was approaching, they retained their basic qualities.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The artillery was finally set up. These were more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces that were brought specially. The shells, carrying flames, smashed towards the place where the enemy army gathered. However, as soon as the shells flew past, they were caught by several powerful ninjas and chopped into pieces in mid-air.
"fire!"
The captain of the artillery squad commanded calmly, and the artillery fired one shot after another at the enemy camp, and the originally condensed black shadows were also thinned out.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
Seeing that it worked, the team immediately mounted the snow horses behind them and fled madly to the rear, not caring that the two artillery pieces were about to be scrapped.
"So cunning."
The ninja who came quickly to prepare for the harvest looked at the small hill in front of him where there was no one, and the people who had disappeared behind him, feeling angry.
Although they could have caught up with them if they had tried their best, the cavalry was about to charge and it was obvious that they had no chance.
"Military spirit! Quickly gather the military spirit!"
Because of some confusion in the artillery, the 5,000 Black Shadow Army gradually gathered together. If they were ordinary soldiers, they would definitely lose their composure when facing the cavalry unit that was less than a kilometer away. However, this army showed an unusual calmness.
