Warring States Survival Guide

Chapter 95 Follow me, let’s charge!

The Lin family's surprise attack on Takeuchi Village went extremely smoothly, and they encountered almost no stiff resistance. The morale of this small team that rushed all the way to the vicinity of the South Gate was extremely high, so high that it could even be said to be arrogant. Seeing the fleeing enemy turning around to fight, they not only did not become cautious, but instead howled and quickened their pace, as if they were planning to make a single move and directly defeat them.

This was the first time that Yuanye encountered a strong enemy, or it could be said that this was the first time he became part of the battlefield, the first time he had to face off against the enemy. Listening to his own men around him howling at the top of their lungs under the threat of the enemy, his heart was beating like a drum, as if it was going to burst out of his chest. His mouth and tongue were dry, and his hands were shaking slightly. He even had an illusion that time seemed to have slowed down, and the already dim light became even darker. The world seemed to have a sense of unreality.

A moment later, I heard A-Man shouting from somewhere far away: "We can't be so slow, we have to charge!"

Yuanye's thoughts instantly fell from some distant place, and he understood Aman's meaning very strangely - his men were all new recruits, who were only brave for a while, and if they allowed the enemy to attack first, these people would probably waver in courage.

That’s right, we must be more proactive and let these people show their courage!
In this world, the brave always wins when two meet on a narrow road!

Once he reacted, he did not hesitate. The adrenaline made his eyes begin to glow red. He began to push forward and shouted in a voice that didn't seem to be his own: "Follow me, charge! I will take care of the injured and disabled, and if you die, I will provide you with a pension of 30 strings of cash, not a penny less!"

It was a bit redundant to mention compensation at this time, but with his leader leading by example, the thirty-six or seven armored men on their side howled even louder, their eyes began to turn red under the stimulation of life and death, they exerted force with their feet, their speed became faster and faster, and they gradually began to jog and rushed straight to the opposite side.

The two teams clashed on the straight street near the south gate of Takeuchi-sho.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. With Aman's shout, more than ten men with bows at the back shot a wave of arrows towards the opposite side. There were more unarmored archers in the opposite Lin family's team, and they also started shooting with bamboo bows almost at the same time.

For a moment, the streets were filled with "bang bang" sounds like cotton-flossing. The birch arrow shafts swayed in the air like fish due to the powerful kinetic energy given by the bamboo frame. The tail feathers cut through the air, making a buzzing sound, and drew arcs in the dim night sky where only the firelight was shining, looking for unfortunate people.

Almost at the same time, people from both teams let out inhuman screams and fell to the ground, while the rest seemed to have lost their hearing and compassion, and did not care whether these people were dead or alive. They pushed them away, stepped on them, and continued to run forward.

No one was able to shoot a second arrow while running, and the two sides immediately collided with each other, and more heart-wrenching screams were heard in an instant.

No one could think at this time, not even Yuanye. His mind was blank, and all he could see was a short, blurry-faced warrior not far away. He casually pushed away a gangster in front of him who had been stabbed, raised his eight-sided black iron stick and smashed him on the head.

The low-level warrior had just pulled back his spear but reacted quickly, stabbing at him without waiting to recharge his spear.

Both men acted instinctively. After a moment, the low-level warrior dodged his head but not his shoulder, and was hit by Yuanye's stick from above, causing the armor plates to fly away. He immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream and fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood. A streak of fire flashed on Yuanye's chest, and the tip of the gun slid across the armor, making a harsh friction sound.

Yuanye's body swayed and he was knocked crooked. At this moment, another enemy rushed towards him, but before he got close, he was stabbed by Aman who was chasing him. He dropped his weapon and stood there stiffly holding the gun tightly, with a look of pain and despair on his face.

Yuanye stood firm and instinctively hit the enemy on the head with his stick again. The enemy's head made a dull sound like a watermelon being hit, his hat was flattened, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

Aman drew back his spear and threw it forward with all his might. He drew out his long sword without caring whether he hit anyone or not, and began to yell and curse as he swung his sword at the back of another enemy, like a madman, pushing Yuanye back a big step.

Yuanye stood still and took two deep breaths before the boiling blood stopped. He looked again and saw that the street was already in chaos. Almost everyone was attacking any enemy they could see nearby like wild beasts. People kept falling to the ground with screams, and occasionally a feather arrow would fly by and pierce someone.

Ah Qing rushed to the front, her body moving left and right with extraordinary flexibility, and her attacks were swift and vicious. She wielded a long naginata lightly and quickly, focusing on the enemy's throat, face and other vital parts. In just the time Yuanye took a glance, two people beside her had fallen to the ground, all of them had their throats cut, and they could not even scream, only large amounts of black mist spread out on the stone road.

After seeing this, he did not dare to rest. Seeing Aman being attacked by two people, he suddenly pounced on him and rejoined the melee. He also began to attack all the enemies he could see in front of him, trying his best to push the enemies back and not daring to retreat easily.

Time seemed to disappear again. He didn't know how long it had been. After he knocked down an enemy with his club, he found that the man had no armor. He looked up and gasped, and found that the enemy had lost the momentum of the previous crazy howling. He was so timid that most of them had turned around and fled. Yuanye was stunned for a moment, and his soul began to return to its place. He stopped and didn't move forward. He only felt that the iron club in his hand was slippery.

"You've really grown so big for a good reason!" A'man was still beside him with a knife in her hand, a little dazed. It was also her first time to participate in such a fierce head-on fight with hundreds of people, but she was always open-minded and had good adaptability. She reached out and pulled off a feather arrow that was stuck in Yuanye's waist and threw it aside. She even had the leisure to praise him, and then seeing that he seemed to be fine, she waved her long knife and started shouting, stopping the pursuit and gathering her people.

Yuan Ye himself did not notice when the arrow hit him, let alone how much time had passed. It seemed like three or four minutes, or even dozens of minutes. When he looked behind him, there were corpses all over the ground, and the smell of blood in the air was even more disgusting.

"A small number of people died, and several were seriously injured." Aman went around and ordered the wounded to be gathered, and then he finished off the enemy's wounded, and then came back to report to Yuanye.

Yuanye nodded slightly, not caring about the number of casualties. More people died in the Lin family, and most of the Lang party members in the front row were left behind.

Overall, he didn't lose.

He looked around the battlefield again, exhaled a long breath, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "Take the wounded and go to the south gate!"

…………

When Yuanye arrived at the South Gate, he saw not only the "old, weak, sick and disabled" employees in his soy sauce workshop, but also more than a dozen of Oda's gang members. These gang members were one of the garrison troops at the South Gate. Another part of them, led by a samurai, went to support Oru Kiyohei and now disappeared. These gang members didn't know what to do when Yuanye, the fake samurai, arrived.

Yuanye didn't hesitate and directly recruited these dozen or so Lang gang members to make up for the combat power just lost. Then he looked towards the center of Takeuchi Village, which is the direction of Oru Kiyohei's residence. He saw that a big fire had started there and he could faintly hear the sound of fighting. It seemed that the fight was very fierce.

And even though he had killed a large group of Lin family's troops, there were still quite a few scattered Lin family's Lang Gang foot soldiers lurking in the shadows near the South Gate. It was just that seeing so many of them gathered together, they did not dare to launch an attack easily and remained quiet for the time being.

The situation was still not good, and Yuanye did not hesitate. He directly ordered Maejima Jiro and Yayoi to take their families away first, and carry their stupid son and the wounded, and leave this place of trouble first. He then took Aqing, Aman, and the Momoi brothers and other armored men to build simple fortifications, preparing to delay time at the South Gate.

It was not to wait for Oru Kiyobei, he had left behind more than ten lives and dispersed a small group of enemies, which was very generous of a resident. Now he stayed, mainly because the "old, weak, sick and disabled" could not run fast, and it would be even slower if they were carrying their stupid son, seriously injured people and gold and silver. They had to stop them here to buy them time to escape.

As for whether there are still enemies outside... there should be none, otherwise the South Gate would have been taken down by the joint efforts of both inside and outside.

"Lord Nohara, where should we go?" Maejima Jiro asked Yayoi before leaving.

"Let's first find a way to go to Hibitsu Village and find Yayoi's father and see if we can hide in the village and wait for things to pass. Try not to take the main roads when you go there, and be smart on the road. If that doesn't work, just find a place to hide first." Yuanye had thought about it before and picked a place he was most familiar with. After all, the situation was chaotic now, so he could only run to a familiar place first. At least with Tian Lichun's character in the past, even if he had participated in the rebellion, he would probably not do anything extreme and directly kill his stupid son and Yayoi and the others.

"I understand. Lord Saburo, take care!" Yayoi and Maejima Juichiro also knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense, so they said hurriedly and left with their people.

Yuan Ye didn't care. Having witnessed the fighting firsthand, he was not too afraid of death now. He just urged his men to move faster and build the simple fortifications as soon as possible. This way, maybe fewer people would die and they could delay the battle a little longer.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, more people from the Lin family arrived and immediately surrounded them, preparing to attack them. If he hadn't been there to block them, the enemy would have chased them closely and he would most likely have been killed before he had gotten far, and he would have lost everything and his entire family would have died.

Fight off another wave and retreat after holding on for a dozen minutes!
