Every time you restrain yourself, you mean stronger than before

- Gorky (proletarian writer of the former Soviet Union, founder of socialist realist literature)

Before entering the mountains and forests, the 30,000 soldiers of the Date family were still very pure, and the young and strong people of one town and one village were organized into a typical Yamato-style army of Ashigaru, making it difficult for Hattori Hanzo's ninja army and Yoshikawa Naoki's spy army to send people to blend into Date's army.

After the desperate Date Army was forced into the mountain forest, the wooded mountains and forests became a natural barrier for the Date Army to resist the attack of the Yanhuang Army, and also provided an opportunity for the Yanhuang family's ninja army and spy army to blend into the Date Army.

Ashigaru, who has 'seen the world' like Takahashi Miki, is not very numerous in the Date Army after all, but with the help of the ninjas of the Yanhuang Ninja Army and the spies of the Yanhuang Spy Army, all kinds of things that are better than other families in the Yanhuang family will naturally spread quickly.

Goto Nobuyasu and Katakura Kojuro, who have been annoyed by the grain and grass problem recently, knew that the Yanhuang army outside the mountains and forests was deliberately using delicious meals to break the will of their own soldiers, but they didn't have the heart to give any orders to prohibit the soldiers from discussing the Yanhuang family.

Goto Nobuyasu, who had a clear heart, understood that it was useless to prohibit talking about the Yanhuang family at this time, because the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests really could not sustain the survival needs of the 30,000 Date family soldiers, and if they couldn't think of a way to get food, the Date family soldiers, who were tortured by hunger to the point of fever and weakness, would collapse on their own without the Yanhuang family's army attacking.

In fact, what really made Goto Nobuyasu feel desperate was not the army of the Yanhuang family that surrounded the Date army hiding in the mountains and forests, but the Uesugi family who forced the Date family to send troops;

To say that Uesugi Kenshin, the governor of the Uesugi family, did not know what Uesugi Keiho had done, Goto Nobuyasu would not believe it anyway, but if Uesugi Keiho's persecution of the Date Army was led by Uesugi Kenshin, then the Uesugi family's thoughts on the Date family would be intriguing;

Just as the Ashigaru of the Date Army was talking about the Yanhuang family in groups, the first batch of more than 50,000 soldiers of the Yanhuang Army had already finished lunch in half an hour; before the second batch of more than 50,000 soldiers had their meal, about 100 tall and mighty barbarian warriors carried huge trumpet-shaped things and came to the position side by side with the first-line spear Ashigaru, young sword warriors, and monks.

"Nakajima-kun, you can go and shout as planned. "Anton Jiazhong sent another warrior by his side.

Nakajima, who rode his horse to the front line, did not rush to start his mission, but suggested to Miyamoto, who was sitting on a war horse at the front end: "Miyamoto-kun, our side is about to start shouting, you should quickly let the soldiers at the front wear earplugs." ”

"Nakajima-kun, don't worry. Miyamoto responded with a smile: "As early as when the first batch of soldiers were eating, I had already asked the soldiers at the front to wear the earplugs that were distributed, you just go and shout, I am here to wish you a great success in advance!"

"Haha, then borrow Miyamoto-kunyoshi's words!" After a burst of laughter, Nakajima slapped his horse forward.

"My strongest warriors of the Yan and Huang Army, now it's your turn to play your role, prepare!"

With Nakajima's order, a hundred tall and mighty barbarian warriors simultaneously raised the giant trumpet-shaped thing in their hands, this simple and huge primitive metal amplifier definitely weighed no less than fifty catties, and the only people in the Yan and Huang army who could easily lift it were these barbarian warriors with infinite natural strength.

"Shout!"

"Listen to the Date army in the mountains and forests, our Yanhuang family is a benevolent and righteous family with clear grievances, and will never do anything to kill innocent people; ”

"Therefore, as long as the soldiers of your Date family are willing to put down the weapons in your hands, our Yanhuang family will definitely not blame you for the past, and when the war is over in the future, we will unconditionally release you and return to the lower field to reunite with your family!"

"We know you've been out of food for days, and now we have boiled rice, fried dishes, and carefully roasted suckling pigs and lambs, all of which are yours if you're willing to go out of the woods and lay down your arms!"

"In addition, our Yanhuang family guarantees in the name of our own family that after you lay down your weapons, as long as you do not go home, we will still provide you with fragrant polished rice and various delicious dishes every day to ensure that you are well fed and clothed!"

"Brothers in the mountains and forests......"

"...... in the Mountains and Forests"

From the 'Date Army' to the 'Brothers', the barbarian warriors who shouted constantly changed their names to the soldiers of the Date family, and with the help of a simple megaphone, this deafening shouting lasted for more than half an hour before it was declared.

Such a high-intensity shouting was unbearable even for the barbarian warriors who were accustomed to shouting loudly, and when the shouting was over, the barbarian warriors who had been shouting in a neutral mood a second ago could not even speak as soon as they returned to the rear.

Although this first shout did not break the psychological defense line of the Date army in one fell swoop, its impact should not be underestimated, and it was only half a day after the two days that Bu Weixin and Andong Jiazhong had prepared!

After the psychological offensive at noon was over, in the afternoon Anton Jiazhong organized several rounds of salvo fire by iron artillery and gunmen; when the army was preparing dinner, the psychological offensive was exactly the same as at lunch, except that the shouters were changed.

After such a day passed, that night, there was almost no need for the ninjas of the Yanhuang Ninja Army and the spies of the Yanhuang Spy Army to help the trouble, and the Date Army in the mountains and forests was already panicked, because with the arrival of the Yanhuang Army's psychological offensive, it was the complete food shortage of the Date Army!

All the wild beasts in the mountains and forests had been hunted down in a matter of days by the hungry soldiers of the Date Army, and all the birds that were better than nothing had flown away.

After midnight, two ninjas of the Yanhuang Ninja Army, with seven Date soldiers who had been persuaded by them, left the mountain forest quietly in the dense night.

From the first batch of two Yanhuang ninja ninjas who took seven Date Army Ashigaru out of the mountains and forests to surrender, to the last group of 58 Date Army Ashigaru who walked out of the mountains and forests to surrender, overnight, the Date Army Ashigaru who escaped from the mountains and forests and surrendered to the Yan and Huang Army was as high as more than 4,000 people!

Early the next morning, Anto Ietada and Yubu had just begun to carry out a psychological offensive with breakfast as usual, but before breakfast was ready, a group of Date Gunashigaru walked out of the mountains with their weapons.
