Just like a pancake, the formation of Shibata Katsuie's army was compressed more and more narrowly, more and more compressed, and flattened, until in the end, it completely lost the space and ability to move around.

In particular, the roar of artillery fire overhead, like a spell urging life, constantly clinging to Shibata's head, making them feel like rats being forced into a corner, losing their last respite.

The various forces attached to the Shibata family began to fall apart under this attack, and they fled from the Shibata family's control. A large number of soldiers began to scatter and flee, and no matter how much the Praetorian Guards under Shibata Katsuya were restrained, it was to no avail.

Shibata Katsuya led the Praetorian Guards and desperately broke through to the southeast. In the attack just now, Shibata Katsutoshi and Shibata Katsumasa were killed in battle, and among the five sons of the Shibata Katsu family, only the most useless fourth son, Shibata Katsuri, who has been following him, is left!

Shibata Katsuya dodged a feather arrow that wiped his face, and glanced sadly at his men who were scattering and fleeing, and after angrily executing several deserters, it only provoked a stronger rout of his subordinates, and even some of the soldiers turned to glare at him angrily, just afraid that there would be a backlash at any time.

The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!

Shibata Katsuya looked at his only remaining son, Shibata Katsuri, and infinite sadness rose in his heart!

Once upon a time, he was also calling for wind and rain in Dongying, covering the sky with one hand, if he didn't come to the gambling match between Goryeo and Yuchai Hideyoshi, would he still cover the sky with one hand in the eastern half of Dongying!

But now, he has come to the end of his rope, what did he do wrong?

Shouldn't you fight with Hideyoshi Hashiba? Shouldn't you fight against the Ming Dynasty, or shouldn't you be the enemy of the person surnamed Sun?

At this stage of the battle, in fact, there is no point in thinking too much, and the ending is almost certain.

Should you leave your own bloodline? Or let him perish with himself in a heroic death?

Seeing Shibata Katsuri cowering behind him, Shibata Katsuya was full of resentment. If there is a choice, Shibata Katsu Ieh can exchange ten Shibata Katsuri for one Shibata Katsutada!

But it's impossible, it's impossible!

The demise of the Shibata family is almost unstoppable, or what if there is a glimmer of blood left?

What use can it be except to make him miserable and spurned and ridiculed in this world?

Rather than so...... Let's put an end to this shameful history once and for all!

There are no cowards in the Shibata family, and if there is, they must be dead. A living coward must not be left to be humiliated by Hideyoshi Hashiba.

In that case, let's rush! At least give yourself a decent and heroic death! Leave a clean reputation in this world!

Thinking of this, Shibata Katsuya stopped the pro-soldiers who were escorting his escape, he drew the sword at his waist, stopped the war horse, waved his sword and pointed in the direction where the Yushiba Hideyoshi army was rushing and shouted: "For the glory of the Shibata family, all charge!" ”

At this time, those who were still able to stay with the Shibata Katsu family were loyal soldiers, most of whom were raised by the Shibata Katsu family since childhood, and would rather die for the Shibata Katsu family than for the Shibata Katsu family.

Hearing Shibata Katsuie's decisive command, they were like arrows tightening the strings, ready to rush to the army of Hashiba Hideyoshi and make the final struggle!

But in this monolithic formation, there was a discordant voice - Shibata Katsuri, the useless fourth son saw that he was about to rush to an army dozens of times his own, and he suddenly broke down emotionally, and sat on the ground crying, unwilling to die for an honor!

"I'm not going! I'm not going! Father, let me go! I'm not going! Shibata Katsusato cried loudly, and the dead people around him who were shaken by the cry were all related.

Shibata Katsuya rode on a horse, looking at his cowardly son under the horse lightly, and his eyes were indifferent as if he was looking at a stiff stone.

"Either get on your horse and charge, or immediately cut your stomach! The choice is yours! Shibata Katsuie's voice was cold, like the frost of a cold day.

Shibata Katsuri curled up on the ground like a puddle of mud, and when he saw his father treating him like this, he cried even more miserably: "No! Father, don't do this to me! I'm your own son! ”

Shibata Katsuie looked at the approaching enemy troops in the distance, and his tone seemed to regain a hint of anger: "If you cut your stomach, I can guarantee you the glory of a warrior!" If you continue to be so incompetent, I have decided to give you a severed death! ”

Shibata Katsuri cried bitterly, rolling all over the ground, Shibata Katsuya looked at him, and finally lost the last trace of hope in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and squeezed a chill from between his teeth: "Kill him!" Charge! ”

When the people around heard this order, they were all stunned for a moment - Shibata Katsuri was the last blood of the Shibata Katsu family, kill him? The last bloodline of the Shibata family is gone! Is the lord's command true?

Shibata Katsuie's voice came again: "Can't understand me? Are you going to die with him beheaded? ”

"Nope! We are warriors, and we must die bravely on the battlefield! The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison, and in an instant, they cut down with their knives, and Shibata Katsuri was immediately divided into corpses, lying on the ground and not even a complete corpse!

"For the glory of the Shibata family! Under Oni Shibata, there are no cowards! After a loud shout, the three thousand Praetorian Guards shouted, and they all launched a decisive charge towards the army of Yushiba Hideyoshi!

Although the number of Shibata troops was small, they burst out with a strong will to fight, and rushed forward without hesitation in the face of the 50,000 enemy troops rushing on the front line, and pierced into the enemy army like a wedge!

They surrounded Shibata Katsuya, like an unsinkable boat in the sea, floating in the sea of the Yuchai Army, but it will never fall apart.

The Praetorian Guards on the periphery are all sword and shield hands, like the shell of a turtle, protecting the softness of the inside.

The second, third, and fourth rows were all musketeers, and they were surrounded by sword and shield men who were shooting fiercely at Hideyoshi's army!

On both flanks were a handful of cavalry, desperately protecting the safety of the last troops of Shibata's army.

The surrounding Yuchai army was like wave after wave, rushing towards the last strength of the Shibata army that was gathered together.

They are like a beast of prey, trying to swallow the fat in front of them in one bite!

But no matter how they attacked, this small army was like a smelly and hard stone in a latrine, which could not be stepped on or crushed, until finally Yushiba Hideyoshi's troops became more and more deflated, which made the Shibata Katsuya army, which was surrounded in the middle, begin to counterattack and attack outward!

Yushiba Hideyoshi stood at the head of the castle, looking at the Shibata Katsuya who was surrounded in the middle and could not be taken down, and his heart became more and more anxious.

The sun in the sky he watched was gradually sinking in the west, and he knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, in case it was night, but he was afraid that Shibata Katsuya would increase the possibility of escaping!

He thought for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Which army is surrounding Shibata Katsu's family?" ”

Ishida Mitsunari said lightly: "It's the troops of Mori Terumoto and Konishi Yukinaga." ”

Yushiba Hideyoshi was silent, Kuroda Rushui glanced at Ishida Mitsunari on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, what do you mean...... Wouldn't that be too ......?"

Ishida Mitsunari looked at Yushiba Hideyoshi's speechless expression, his heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's better to ...... We quietly sent someone to summon Governor Konishi's troops back, and then informed Sun Qilan ......"

Hideyoshi Hashiba looked back at Ishida Mitsunari and did not speak.

Ishida Mitsunari nodded, and went down to arrange it without saying a word.

Kuroda Rushui looked at Ishida Mitsunari, who was walking away, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. This young man is really a ruthless character, he looks like he is gentle, but behind his back, he can kill him!

No wonder the lord Yu Shiba Hideyoshi values this young man so much, it seems that he is really an unusual character!

Soon after, a troop of cavalry protruded from the city and soon merged into the encirclement besieging Shibata Katsuie.

Soon, about two-thirds of Konishi's troops were quietly withdrawn, and almost all of the troops besieging Shibata Katsuya became Mori Terumoto's troops and a small number of Konishi Yukinaga's troops in disguise as cover.

When these "own people" evacuated to a safe place, Hashiba Hideyoshi stared nervously at the sea behind him. The fleet there was still quiet, which made Hideyoshi Hashiba very worried.

Just as Hashiba Hideyoshi was about to send someone to plead with Sun Qilan again, the artillery fire began to roar violently!

This time, the trajectory was lower than the one shot under the castle just now, but it also had a longer range.

And the landing point of the cannonball is not elsewhere, it is the remnants of the Shibata Katsuya who are tightly surrounded in the middle by Mori Terumoto!

The shells were like raindrops, and they were not accurate, so while the Shibata Katsuya army, which was afraid to shell for the enemy, fell in large numbers, the Mori Terumoto headquarters on the periphery were also knocked down and destroyed like leeks!

It's as if it's not his own person at all, but the Shibata Army who is in the same group as the Shibata Katsu family!

Maori Teruyuan's men screamed and cursed, they didn't know what was going on, why they were still surrounding the remnants of the enemy army and beating them for a moment, but the next moment they became the most miserable victim and outcast in the middle of the encirclement!

Seeing this, the 3,000 people of the Shibata Army knew that they would die, so they simply gave up hope of survival, and immediately conceived the will to die, and turned into pieces, as if they melted into the tide of the sea, and deeply melted into the endless enemy army in front of them!

They rushed and killed hard, as if they were going to stir up a tidal wave in the endless waves, and the only purpose was to attract the artillery fire of the Ming army fleet on the sea, and violently cover the enemy and our army, including themselves!

They are not afraid of death, but they also do not want to die alone. So they sacrificed their lives and died with more enemies who were victorious!

In the place where the artillery fire was most concentrated, Shibata Katsuya picked up a spear from the corpse next to him, shook his hands, and shouted: "Shibata family, always charge!" ”

Then, it turned into a long rainbow and rushed towards the army of Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him with the same swiftness as thirty years ago!
