Chapter 481 Taking advantage of the fire

Miyoshi Yoshiki was leading his troops at this moment, and rushed out of the camp with a torch and followed Yuqiu's army closely. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Yasuo Tomoya, saying that Yu Qiuping seemed to want to rob Sakaimachi and retreat. He had already attacked and asked Yasuo Tomoya to support him immediately.

However, marching at night is a dangerous situation, and he is not familiar with the terrain here. Seeing that Yuqiu's army had all rushed into Sakaimachi, he still couldn't catch up. Just when Miyoshi Yoshiki was anxious, an envoy who did not take torches suddenly rushed towards him in the dark, and shouted loudly: "Is it the troops of the young master of Sanyoshi!"

"Who?" The guards around him immediately controlled the man with great vigilance. The man did not resist and stopped obediently, allowing the guards to search for him. Only after ensuring safety did the guards come over.

"Your Highness, the youngest is the subordinate of Boss Imai. I came here to beg Young Master Miyoshi to save us Sakaimachi!" The envoy had just approached Miyoshi Yoshi, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Miyoshi Yoshi, "That Yuqiu Red Leaf is not human! He was treacherous and suddenly attacked our merchants! Many people were arrested, and all the goods and money were looted. Now Yuqiu's army is forcing the national treasury! Please come and save us in view of the friendship between Miyoshi's family and our Sakaimachi merchants in the past!"

"You are so embarrassed to say that Yu Qiu Hongye is traitorous? Where are you businessmen yourself?" A guard next to Sanhao Yixing scolded sternly when he saw this, "I am not ashamed. Who are you who betrayed Sanhao's family back then and turned to Yu Qiu's family? Now I have the nerve to come and rescue him!"

"We Sakaimachi merchants deserve to die for thousands of times! We were cut into pieces by thousands of knives! We were blind before and believed that Yuqiu Hongye, and now we realized that the Sanhao family was the master! Boss Imai and others knew that the sin was serious, so they sent Xiaodi to inform His Highness and the Sanhao family! If Yuqiu Hongye was asked to rob the Sakaimachi treasury and so much money, grain and goods, wouldn't it just add trouble to the Sanhao family?" The subordinate said like a cannon, while kowtowing on the ground. "The people of Yuqiu family are loading Sakaimachi's treasury and money and goods away. If Your Highness is willing to lend a helping hand, Xiaodi will take Your Highness to stop them! After the matter is completed, all the goods, money and food that were abducted by the Yuqiu family will be presented to the Sanhao family as a plea. Boss Imai and all the bosses will not break their promises!"

"The merchants are profit-oriented and do not believe in words. Do you think I will believe what you say?" Miyoyo Yoshiki snorted coldly, and the subordinate hurriedly kowtowed again like pounding garlic, keeping shouting "Save Sakaicho" and other words. Although Miyoyo Yoshiki was very tough, he knew in his heart that this subordinate was not lying. Sakaicho has now suffered a catastrophe. If Miyoyo didn't take action, they would be looted by Yu Qiuping. Unexpectedly, Yu Qiuping actually vained the good reputation he had accumulated over the past decade, and for the sake of his national treasury and money, he brazenly attacked Sakaicho, who had worked with him before. After sweeping these money and goods, Yu Qiuping would retreat into Kitanoi to defend himself. The Miyoyo family probably had no choice but to do anything to him.

The Sakaimachi merchant was desperate at this moment and had to turn to the nearby Sanhao family. Whether it was to defeat Yuqiu family and regain Kazui, or to obtain astronomical money, food and goods, taking advantage of the situation to rob is the best choice.

"Lead the way, and wait until the dust is settled, and then we will cure your previous crime of treason." Sanhao Yixing raised his horse whip and "take us to attack the Yuqiu family's transport convoy." However, the cautious Sanhao Yixing was cautious and sent a large number of explorers to scatter. There were possible ambushers of Yuqiu family near the local area.

·

With the guidance of that subordinate, Miyoyo Yoshiki was able to travel freely in the castle outside Sakaimachi, and soon he went around the east of the city. You could see the Yuqiu family's transportation convoy carrying a large amount of money, grain and goods, carrying torches, stretching in the dark like a fire dragon. The farthest one had already walked out a few miles, and more convoys had just walked out of Sakaimachi, crowded on the official road.

"Explore the horse to investigate the situation nearby and find out the Yuqiu Army's troops. The main force will immediately attack the convoy with me!" Sanhao Yixing made a quick judgment, and at the same time, the scouts who were wearing torches immediately dispersed the huge intelligence network to prevent the Yuqiu Army's troops from attacking in the dark.

In night battles, most foot lights in that era had night blindness, and they could not move without the help of torches. But when the torches, the ones around you are illuminating first - this can easily become a living target for the enemy. Therefore, when the night battle is inevitable, both sides are usually unwilling to fire the torches, and they would rather not see them yourself than make others cheap. The soldiers on both sides could not recognize the enemy and us in the darkness where they could not see them, and they would end up in a random battle.

Therefore, the Sanhao Army, who are now marching with torches, must be careful at all times. Sure enough, their appearance was immediately revealed by the auxiliary troops who were transporting money, grain and goods by Yuqiu's family. In panic, some people pushed their cars away, while more people threw down their goods, extinguished their torches and fled to the north of the official road.

Just when Sanhao Yixing's troops rushed to both sides of the convoy and were about to seize the money, grain and goods, retreating south, the horses sent to the east suddenly screamed and rushed towards our team. The alarm sound of "There is an enemy attack in the east!" was immediately passed over layer by layer. In the dark night, a unit was vaguely rushing towards Sanhao Jun, who was lit torches in the field in the east.

"Extinguish the torch! Don't be a target!" The experienced warriors in the Sanhao Yoshikawa and Sanhao's army immediately ordered all the torches to be extinguished. After a while, the Sanhao army, who had already lit the torches, immediately escaped into the darkness, leaving only scattered flames that had not been extinguished.

"I came back so quickly, but now it's a night battle, and you can't do anything to me." Although Miyoshi Yixing was facing an attack, he still remained calm. He knew that the Yuqiu family's entire army was not as strong as his. It was dark and the Yuqiu family's proud gun array could not be wielded. On the contrary, the samurai sword was even more like a fish in the chaos, and he was not afraid of a night battle at all.

However, just as Sanyo Yixing tried to adjust his formation in the dark and prepare for field battles, a sudden scream came from the queue. Due to people's fear of darkness and unknown, whether marching or camping at night, it is very easy to cause large-scale chaos and panic. Therefore, after nightfall, it is strictly forbidden to exclaim and shout in any team to avoid causing chaos.

"What are you doing? How can you make noise?" Miyoyo Yoshikeng frowned after hearing the shout, and scolded sternly: "Are these Yi Yu's soldiers so unaware of the rules?"

"No, Your Highness! There is a situation!" A low-level warrior screaming near Sanhao Yixing hurriedly squeezed from the crowd to the place where Sanhao Yixing's voice was, trying to report the situation in a low voice to Sanhao Yixing. However, in the dark, he could not find Sanhao Yixing, so he had to whisper to the danger of causing chaos: "Your Highness! These cars are not filled with money, food and goods! The bottom is filled with straw, cotton and sulfur!"

The call of the low-level warrior immediately caused chaos, and all the three-good family's feet hurriedly looked at the cart beside them. In the dark night, they couldn't see clearly, but the touch from their fingers and the smell from their noses would not lie - except for the food on the surface and a small amount of copper coins and silver, all underneath were sulfur, straw and cotton!

The army of the Sanhao family immediately fell into chaos, and it was useless to let Sanhao Yixing and the warriors suppress it. The things they were worried about almost immediately. With a sharp arrow shot into the sky, the auxiliary soldiers who had extinguished the torches from the official road lit the torches again, and after a few steps toward the Sanhao army, they threw hundreds of torches hard towards the Sanhao army, densely packed like fireflies. Most of the torches fell on the side of the official road because they were too far away, but dozens of torches flew into the convoy, causing a fire immediately! The fire spread quickly, and all the cars were ignited one after another! Under the raging fire, the Sanhao army fled everywhere in a mess, and the cars were overturned, and the flammable materials were spread all over the ground, and the fire spread further.

However, this fire attack in the open space will not cause much casualties to the Sanhao Army. What is really important is that these lit carts illuminate the location of the Sanhao Army, turning them into living targets, just like automatic torches.

The iron gunner, who had originally arrived from the east, immediately started shooting at the troops of Sanhao Yixing under the leadership of Charlie. The flames ignited by a large number of flammable materials almost illuminated a large area, so that the iron gunners could complete the loading with the light. The Sanhao Army, who was in the center of the flames, was blinded by the torches in the night. Standing on the illuminated, they could not see the things in the dark at all - they could not even see the position of the iron gunner, let alone counterattacking, and could only be targets obediently. Some people kept falling down under the shooting of the iron gun, and the roar of the iron gun further aggravated the chaos in the team.

"I've fallen into a trap!" Sanhao Yixing was in chaos at this moment, and it was difficult to deal with the chaotic troops in the dark. "Where is that guide! Hurry up and catch that businessman!"

However, when the guards around Miyoyo Yoshiki tried to capture the guide, he found that he had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape in the darkness. At this moment, the "guide" Masayuki Sanada was racing on his horse on the way to a high mountain in the northeast of Sakaimachi - which was Yu Qiupi's command center, and his heart was full of complaints about Yu Qiupi.
