Chapter 595 Ji Warrior
It was not a hasty war. When Naoto Otomo's team was discovered by Han Zhenhan's reconnaissance troops, Han Zhenhan had actually ordered all parties to start preparing. Whether it was Sun Hu, who was far away in Yuyuan County, or the Kurume who was strengthening the fortifications and making cities-defending equipment, the team he led was located, there was plenty of time.
Even so, the time when the crowd was so straightforward was still a whole day later than the calculations of the staff. Finally, the staff came to a conclusion based on the enemy's route, which was that the Japanese people had short legs. According to the figure of the Qingzhou army, they would definitely arrive a whole day in advance and within twenty-four hours.
Of course, this statement was said by the young guy in the young staff squad. After all, young people are more competitive. When they encounter mistakes, they like to find external reasons first. But how could Han Zhenhan take care of these little monkeys? After criticizing and educating them, he left some homework and waited for Dayou to attack the city.
The way and rhythm of Naoto Nao can attack the city actually made Han Zhenhan regain the scene when the Central Army and the local army first entered the army, and they were suspicious of each other and cheated each other. Naoto Naoto's trick originally had nothing to hide in front of Han Zhenhan. There was not even a fig leaf made of dark clouds.
After seeing this, Han Zhenhan became even more certain. The troops led by Naoto Otomo was not all his direct troops. The reason was very simple. If Naotomo Otomo, the army with so many people would not have been defeated by the Shimazu family and retreated to the position of the Turkishi Kingdom step by step.
Although Han Zhenhan didn't know what happened in this state, as a veteran driver who has been in the battlefield for many years and has been immersed in the business world, it is not difficult to judge. Especially when the number of soldiers on the left and right armies is twice as low as the central army, they have already launched a fierce attack. A mature commander will not make such a low-level mistake.
The only explanation is that the life and death of the left and right armies will make him feel distressed, and it has nothing to do with him. It is the effect that Naoto Naoto wants to attract more enemy troops. When Naoto was able to lead the crowd to attack, the army with nearly 3,000 troops, which was the support, was far away in a relatively far position away from the battlefield. This arrangement is clear. This group of rear armies must be Naoto Naoto's direct troops. Otherwise, no matter how poor the rear armies of these 3,000 people should be used as archers to support the siege battle between the left and right armies.
Han Zhenhan saw these things because Han Zhenhan had a hot air balloon in his hand as a God-like perspective. There were only two people who could know this secret near Kurume. One was Naoto Otomo himself, and the other was Han Zhenhan.
It’s just a pity that Han Zhenhan could not expose the trick of Naoto Nao, and the chief officers of the two armies on both sides could only be used by Naoto Naoto as fools. Of course, no matter who is used, it is because they have value to use it, and Naoto Naoto can also use things that tempt them, making them so willing to work for them.
"This group of Japanese people is stopping! They are fighting more vigorously than before. Why don't Boss Han let us fight?"
"What do you know? Just hide well. I guess the boss is going to catch him alive. I didn't see if the people arrested these days are all the old, weak, sick and disabled..."
"Even women are missing a lot. Although Japanese women look like goblins, they are also women. They can give birth and raise, and they are their own seeds."
"You boy misses women before you grow all your hair..."
"I'm seventeen!"
"What a woman, what do you know? Which of the following are women? When I arrested these soldiers, I was doing some construction for us, such as building mountains, roads, bridges, and iron. That was to build Qingzhou better. Let's come here. First, to train troops. Second, although there is no food in this broken place and it is still a long earthquake, I heard that there are many mines here. Do you understand the mines..."
A veteran with a Shanxi accent interrupted the words of several new recruits. When several new recruits heard this accent, they quietly stopped interrupting. This is also a hidden level in the expeditionary army.
Since they are all in the army under Han Zhenhan's hands, brotherhood, night school, respecting elders, and pity to young people, these concepts are what any soldier needs to learn and understand. The so-called four irons in life, they pass through the window, carry guns together, work in prisons together, and pass prostitutes together. But in fact, if you really want to make a comparison among these four relationships, I believe that most people will choose the second one, that is, the person who carried guns together. Why do you say that? Because people who read a lot of books will have more thoughts, and in a comfortable era, they are playmates and childhood emotions. And when they are in prison and the last one, they are not something that can be taken to the table.
Only carrying a gun together is of course the common destiny of soldiers, playing together to go to the battlefield, and sharing life and death with their companions. Eat in a pot and sleeping in a trench, face the enemy's hideous face and the desperate fight. If there is any love that can be compared with blood ties, it should be comrades.
Of course, the friendship between comrades-in-arms is divided into many kinds. They are naughty together under the constraints of their leaders, and share life and death together on the battlefield. Then this will highlight a person that everyone will remember deeply, that is, the old squad leader and the old squad leader who share life and death with them.
The role of these squad leaders and squad leaders is brothers, who are like fathers, like a mountain, protecting their brothers and leading them. And when danger comes, they always think about how to make their brothers live safely.
All the squad leaders of the Expeditionary Force are actually members of the Brotherhood, but the understanding and learning ability of the people is different. Therefore, although you learn basically the same thing, you will hear different explanations from different people's mouths. Although it may be the same in different ways, the listening methods are not the same.
The Shanxi accent has almost become a symbol of most old squad leader. It is a normal label. When someone speaks Shanxi dialect, the recruits will become quiet, and even if the old squad leader doesn't finish speaking, they won't move.
When you meet a squad leader who is slutty, everyone will be a little miserable. However, the original system was built and reinforced by these city walls. There were still many equipment to be made, so many squad leaders were transferred to work. When they returned again, many people could not find their own system. However, it seemed that they were the same as any old squad leader. They were all soldiered for the Brotherhood, and when the squad leader did not fight, they were still very funny. Of course, they were different when they were training. The nose was not the nose, the face was not the face.
But these squad leaders who speak Shanxi dialect said, "Stay more sweat in peacetime and less bleeding in wartime." It sounds like there is a little bit of truth. You have one more endurance and a little more skill than the enemy. Both of them are crucial when fighting for their lives, and it cannot be said that they are deciding and winning or losing, but a more cruel judgment that can continue to survive. Enjoy the right to continue breathing in this world.
"Bring your helmets! The enemy is about to rush up! They are all energetic! The commander said that we must be iron-shelled turtles for at least one night. Those who don't go up to the city wall will not be killed! Those who don't bite them until they are mouthed!"
This kind of affluent fighting style is indeed very annoying, but whether you have served in the Qingzhou Army or joined the selection of the Expeditionary Force when the Qingzhou New Army was established. No matter what you have done before or what kind of family background you are at home, the first thing you do when you enter the Expeditionary Force training camp is to get used to learning to obey orders. It is not to learn to obey orders, but to be used. Habits and learning are two concepts with huge differences in essence.
Let obey orders become something in the bones, without considering right or wrong, right or wrong, first of all, the first consciousness of receiving the order is to execute it. Then, what do you think or comment about the order? You can find someone to come up with everyone present. But the premise is that you have not disobeyed the military order. During the Expeditionary Force training camp, when anyone disobeys the act of disobedience will only have one result, which is to clear out, get out, and leave.
But for the current cowardly people who were Japanese shorts at their feet, they yelled and thought how powerful they were and how arrogant they were, and they were jumping up to the top of the city, but the enemy was facing a very embarrassing problem. They didn't know how many people died in the city, and they didn't know how many soldiers there were.
What made all the ronin and wild samurai know was that there must be a small number of people in this city, but they are very good at defending. They didn't know how many enemies they killed after a dozen charges, but they injured hundreds of people. These people were pushed down from the ladder and fell from the highest point of the ladder. Several of the unlucky guys fell down on the stone when they fell down. They looked like they were inhaled but not exhausted, and they were almost out of their lives.
This battle is like a heroic big rooster fighting a big turtle with a turtle shell huddled. It trembles left and right, and no one can climb half of the city wall when ladders are placed in any position.
No matter how stones thrown or archery were thrown, no enemy could be seen by the wild warriors below. The battle was fought, and the people under the city were furious. The people guarding the city were also frustrated. After fighting for an afternoon, the sky gradually darkened, after a continuous attack of gold and iron sounds, Naoto Otomo's troops finally retreated in the evening.
I was really tired, hungry, and angry! I couldn't rush up, and I couldn't see anyone when I hit him. At this time, Naoto Oto was no longer as excited as I saw this small town at the beginning. After sentries were left around Kurume Castle to prevent the enemy from escaping, Naoto Oto was sitting in front of the campfire, waiting for the samurai and wild samurai around me who were quite cultural and could give some suggestions for siege.
As the saying goes, one person is short-sighted, two are strong, and three are strong, and three are the ones who are strong. Everyone talks all the same. Dayou is straight, and his eyes are straight, and he has a look of confidence again.
"Very good! We made tower ladders. Aren't they willing to push them? We made a wooden city wall, which was as high as this city wall! And! Get a few more bridge boards! Didn't they dig a trench? Let's fill it in? Bump it open!"
After saying that, Naoto Otomo showed a smug smile on his face, and the smile was full of deep meaning. This was because an older wild samurai who had just sat next to the campfire reminded Naoto Otomo.
"It would be great if there were ninjas there. A team of ninjas went up and even if they couldn't hit the city gate, they could check the reality of the enemy's city."
Just this sentence made the clouds on Naoto Nao's face gradually dissipate, and then turned back to Naoto Naoto during the day. At midnight, Naoto Naoto was resting in the tent. Only a few people with noble identities could live in the tent. There were people guarding Naoto Naoto's tent outside, but when a man in black approached, no one stopped him.
When the man in black entered the small tent of Naoto Oto, he knelt on the ground. After waiting for a while, he didn't wake up. The man in black had to step forward and grabbed Naoto Ototo Oto's arm.
As soon as he touched Dayou, he woke up, and Dayou woke up, and he slapped the man in black with a slap.
"Baga!"
"Hi!"
Oto could shout and scold his palm. After a crisp sound, a female voice came from a small voice, and the slap was hard.
Sitting on the wooden bed that was temporarily set up, after waking up for a while, Otomo took a deep breath and frowned and looked at the woman in black clothes wrapped in black cloth on her head that was kneeling in front of him.
"Sorry, Shan, you know mine!"
"Hey, the Lord is not wrong. You don't have to apologize to the mountain... The Lord ordered people to come over to the mountain and has made all the preparations!"
"Well, you'll have to work hard. It's the best time to check it out. Remember, I need to know the enemy's casualties and injuries, and how many people are in the city. Of course, if you can open the city gate and set fire in the opposite direction, then you can get rid of it?"
"Hi! Shan will definitely be loyal to death!"
"I can't bear to die, go, remember or come back..."
The two had a very brief conversation. After saying that, the woman in black stepped back and left Naoto Otomo's tent. At this moment, Naotomo was also sleepy. After touching his face with the hand that had just hit someone, Naotomo's lower abdomen actually had a fever and a burst of evil fire came up.
"Go and call me all the people from the Vulture!"
"Hi!"
After rubbing his chin with his hands back and forth, Naotoshi Naotoshi swallowed hard, he stretched his waist and moved the joints around his body. Without letting him wait for a long time, a group of more than twenty people arrived outside Naotoshi Naotoshi's tent. It was not the first time this team of people had been outside Naotoshi's tent. More than twenty people quickly formed two rows, blocking the tent and the outside world with dense figures.
Seeing such figures around him, Otomo said,
"Two people come in at a time! It's still really troublesome! Such a small place..."
After hearing Naoto Oto's words, the two guards guarded at the door of the tent walked into the inside, left and right. As soon as they entered, they saw a figure on the tent. The first person who entered was pressed to the ground by the taller figure. He grabbed his hair and faced his waist. After setting the position, Naoto's hand was freed up and heard a thrilling sound. He tore a person's clothes apart. Almost all the movements could be seen clearly on the tent by the outside world.
The woman in black who had left before was now standing at Kurume's city. If you look closely, you will also find that in addition to herself, she put her face on the city wall, there were more than a dozen people wearing black, gray, and dark brown tights under the entire wall behind her.
Needless to say, everyone knows this woman called "Mountain". This person is the legendary ninja, and Akako is also a ninja. However, this ninja is not that ninja. This ninja is actually a general term, and it can also be called a samurai who gave up his honor.
The Kamakura Shogunate has just been established for a hundred years, and in this era, most of the ninjas are still like Akako, who have a special mission. And the mountain you see now, and the ones around her, may be that people in later generations generally know the mysterious profession of ninjas.
Ninjas are similar to samurai, but they also have huge differences. In today's era, ninjas are only captives and daimyos who have no rights to samurai. They are also captives by daimyos, but they do not have the rights to samurai. Therefore, the threshold for ninjas is very low, and there are no restrictions on men and women, and there are many women engaged in them.
Because the desperate people in the end want to survive, they need to contribute their loyalty and all their honors, and then they become tools for the nobles, especially to deal with some shameful tasks. Such as assassination, spy, poisoning, seduction, and discord. These despicable activities that are despised by people can only be accomplished by ninjas without honor and without honor.
Therefore, ninjas should be said to be a more sad existence, and often the most loyal ninjas were actually raised by daimyos since childhood, and were instilled with the idea of being absolutely loyal to the vassal lords since childhood. These people have men and women, and the best ending of their final outcome is just to live in seclusion in the mountains. Most people have learned too many secrets that they should not know and participated in too many shameful things. In the end, they can only be ruthlessly silenced.
The rise of the warriors' power hundreds of years later made the warriors and the warriors officially step on the historical stage that can influence the political situation in Japan. At the same time, the moral norms of warriors' morality became increasingly strict.
But whenever there is light, there will be darkness, and then someone must do the dark work. However, the samurai who have just gained power did not have the foundation and capital to fight against Daming and the nobles for thousands of years. Then those things that are shameful need to be done, but they just can't afford it, and there is no time to raise and cultivate a qualified ninja, so an independent ninja group appeared. At its peak, first-class ninjas could even kill first-class kendo masters one-on-one.
Of course, such ninjas are also very expensive, and the price they have to pay is not even calculated in money. This form of ninja group appears more like a gangster, but they will not charge money from civilians, and they will also sympathize with civilians more, because most of them have fallen from civilians to ninjas. Because no one would want to, when the hairstyle is done, a swearing sound will not be respected by anyone, and will lose all the ease, and can only be loyal to their own Banner Lord.
However, the Japanese culture has been changed by the influence of Chinese culture. Women in both China and Japan have very low status. Of course, women in Japan, which lack ethics, simply have no status. The Japanese island is not very crowded. When encountering wars, Japanese women can go on stage and fight, and they do not have to dress up as men when they go to wars.
Of course, the armor is worn by men. Women who cannot give birth, and women whose husbands die, become the ones who go to fight during the day, and serve the nobles, samurai toys and venting tools at night. The group of female warriors whom Otomo could just call to, actually exists like this. Because there are not many, and not everyone can play with these women, they are given a fairly old name - female warriors.
When they go into battle to kill the enemy, they just use it as the last force. To put it bluntly, it is to make up numbers or fill in the scenes. In addition, they have extra work to perform at night, so they have their existence.
These female warriors are different from ninjas. Female ninjas can be dedicated to anyone, while female warriors can only devote themselves to the retainers and warriors of the famous masters they are loyal to. If they are lucky, they may become private property and be given away by the head of the family.
But since you are in battle, you must consider all the issues comprehensively. To put it simply, there is always a losing side between the two armies in the face of the battle. It is impossible for both families to draw and go back to their respective families. And when the female warriors go to battle, they will become the head of the family and the vassal lords will personally fight.
But what should they do if the head of the family is defeated, the female warriors are captured, or are about to be captured? Because they are different from ninjas, they are only loyal to the main family, so these female warriors can be contaminated by the enemy. If a female warrior is captured alive, it will bring in irreparable humiliation to the defeated family surname.
According to convention, when a female warrior commits suicide, she can use a knife to cut her throat or stab her chest without having to cut her stomach. However, there are still some special cases, such as the wet nurse of Ashikaga Yoshima, the eighth-year-old general of the Muromachi Shogunate, who is a separatum during exile.
During the war, most of the women in the martial arts family have a miserable fate. If they are defeated, committing suicide requires great courage. At this time, most of them have only three endings. Marrying the winner as a concubine, becoming a nun as a nun, and committing suicide.
