Coming back sooner or later, many things seem to be accidental, but in fact they are inevitable.

At noon, Hideyoshi's troops were about to storm the hill, and I could even clearly see the faces of the enemy strikers—those red with anger and fear, who had gone through a difficult and struggling morning, throwing nearly seven thousand corpses down the mountainside before climbing twenty or thirty meters from our position.

The stones on the hill were almost finished, and the musket had already exploded several times due to continuous firing, overheating of the barrel, and too much * ash stuffing. I know it's coming!

So I raised my musket and shouted, "Last shot!" Musketeers retreat! ”

A gunshot rang out from the top of the hill almost at the same time, sounding like the dense clatter of a dotting timer, and like a strafing fire, and the enemy fell in large swath, while Shige Suzuki and Shigehide Suzuki began to retreat almost simultaneously, retreating towards the second position they had chosen the night before.

It's a high ground with huge boulders, and standing there overlooking the top of the hill should have plenty of opportunities to shoot. However, in this case, the two sides are staggered, and once they can't hit accurately, it is easy to accidentally injure their own people, so the number of gunners who are qualified to shoot suddenly decreases sharply, and only less than 50 can carry out such a relatively accurate sniping!

I thought about it for a moment and pulled back with my gun in my hand. After all, this was not my war, and I had no reason to fight for it, so I retreated with the musket team to the big rock of the second position, put the barrel on top of the stone, took out the through bar as fast as I could, cleaned the barrel to prevent the bore, and then reloaded the projectile again!

It's coming up! Without the threat of musketeers, the enemy samurai quickly rushed to the top of the mountain! And Sakuma Morimasa's team immediately consciously greeted it! I could even hear an indescribable excitement from their shouts!

After a morning of fighting, these fierce soldiers didn't get any other room to play except for throwing a few stones, and they were already in a hurry! At this time, the enemy rushed up, it was the best time for them to play!

For a while, a bloody battle began on the mountain! Hiding in the rear, I kept shooting, each shot taking a life, and my thoughts drifted farther and farther away.

Do they really have no sense of fear? In such an era of cold weapons, knives to flesh, blood spurting, people in front of whom they don't know each other and have no grudges swinging knives at each other, maybe blood will be splashed on the spot the next moment, how can you not be afraid?

I guess there could be several scenarios. One is afraid of death, but there is no way. Being in the formation, the formation rushed forward, and he had to go up if he was afraid, and he had to go up if he wasn't afraid. It is said that the more timid you are, the faster you will die, so it's better to grit your teeth and fight it!

Some are probably bold by nature, have a relatively light view of death, and pursue a kind of enthusiasm and pleasure of blood and fire, they love war, and they know nothing but war, and they have no interest in anything.

Just like Sakuma Morimasa, I can clearly hear the excitement from his shouts every time he stabs out his spear! He's enjoying the feeling of fighting and blood!

In fact, there are such people in all ages. In "The Years of Burning Passion", Shi Guangrong's various discomforts after the end of the war were caused by this obsession with war? Even though the times have been peaceful, he still thinks about how to fight every day, and I think they are a kind of people, enjoying war! Enjoy the thrill!

But I'm not that type. I don't like war, and the reason why I participate in war must be because I have a greater goal to achieve than war. If there is a choice, I will definitely choose other ways to solve the problem instead of such a fierce fight!

But I didn't have a choice at this point. I can only shoot the enemy one shot after another, this is my mission, and it is the only way for me to live!

The enemy has been surrounded on all sides, and Sakuma Katsumasa's team has gradually been flattened and elongated by a certain formation, and finally formed a staggered battlefield line with the enemy!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all I could hear was the endless shouts of killing, the tearing of weapons and bodies, and the cries of wounded soldiers and cripples! All this, like a tragic concerto, hit me hard in the chest! I don't know when it all started, and I don't know when it will end, it's like eternity, and it's tormenting!

With the passage of time, Sakuma Morimasa's battle circle began to slowly shrink, after all, the enemy has an absolute superiority in forces, and the longer the battle line is stretched, the more unfavorable it will be for our side. Only by retracting the fist can we better attack and defend, but it is more conducive to long-term combat.

I looked back at the back mountain, and it seemed that the dust was rising, as mentioned in the "Art of War" and other ancient military books and tactics, the infantry phalanx would carry such a rush of dust when they advanced, and the cavalry was wisps of dust. So I guess Shibata Katsuya has actually gone around, but I'm still waiting for an opportunity! Fang is ready to show up and fight against Hideyoshi Hashiba!

Sakuma Morimasa must also know that his uncle and a large group of people had already arrived around, and when he saw him in the middle of the formation, he suddenly shouted, and the soldiers of his department immediately shouted in unison, launching an attack similar to last night's decisive impact!

After all, our side is still condescending, although it is not as big as the height difference just now, but it still has an advantage. Sakuma Morimasa's team rushed, and the army of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was not good at mountain warfare, immediately stagnated! It was suppressed again by Sakuma Morimasa, who had a weak army!

The soldiers in the Hideyoshi array burst into tears, thinking that it would be spring when they went up the mountain, who knew that the location had changed, but your uncle was still your uncle! Seeing this deadly ghost Xuanwan, he still can't beat it! As a result, there was turmoil on the local battlefield, which directly affected the follow-up of the Hideyoshi army behind, and chaos came as scheduled!

Yushiba Hideyoshi hung far behind, seeing that there was no danger of being sniped, he began to personally ascend to command, and saw that there was a sudden chaos near the top of the mountain, and he wondered in his heart, when he charged, most of the casualties were good, why did he rush up and be chaotic?

As everyone knows, this is the psychology of people. Knowing that he will die, he is not afraid, but he can live but faces the threat of death, that is the most terrifying!

Suddenly, out of the corner of Hideyoshi's eyes, he also saw the dust in the back mountain, and he was shocked! His own brigade is concentrated in front of the mountain, and there is such a large area of dust behind, whose team is it?

A thought flashed through my heart, could it be ...... Could it be that Shibata Katsuie's army has arrived? Why so fast?

Just as he hesitated, there was an earth-shattering cry from behind the mountain we were fighting on! A team of men and horses came out from the side of the mountain, impartial, and rushed towards the middle waist and eye of Hideyoshi's army!

When I turned my head to look, the Shibata clan's family crest fluttered high on the flag, and the team of black armor was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the team of Hideyoshi in blue armor, and the two sides collided violently, and then began to tear, forming a dog's tooth intertwin!

It can be seen that this team is only 7,000 people, and I don't know who led it, although there are few people, they are extremely brave. They were like a steel nail, deeply pierced into the waist of Hideyoshi's military strength, and the entire team of the opposing party was not well connected!

Seeing this, Hideyoshi shouted that the general was pressing forward, and commanded the left army to surround the new enemy and throw a left hook! However, to Hideyoshi's surprise, on the other side of the foothills, a team rushed out again! The number of people in this team was much larger than the one just now, and it was none other than Hideyoshi's old rival, Shibata Katsuya himself!

Although he is a strategic dwarf, he definitely lives up to the name of a giant of tactics and battles, and he is more clever than anyone present when it comes to choosing the right moment to cut into the battlefield!

He used a detachment to attack the left side of Hideyoshi's army, luring Hideyoshi to the left, and the corresponding right side appeared empty, while he himself led the main force to attack the empty right side, and the center of gravity of Hideyoshi's army was unstable all at once!

I stood on the commanding heights and looked at the battlefield situation, and secretly sighed in my heart that today's battle was actually over here. Shibata Katsuya's title of "Oni Shibata" is not in vain! Under his impact, although he was one-third inferior to Hideyoshi in terms of strength, he completely suppressed the other party in terms of momentum!

Hideyoshi's army, which had already attacked the top of the mountain, began to retreat slowly, but it was bitten by Sakuma Morimasa, who turned to pursue, and he couldn't retreat!

Halfway up the mountain, he was attacked by Shibata Katsuya on two sides, and the fight was extremely uncomfortable! It seems that Hideyoshi's defeat today has been achieved, and a big victory for Shibata Katsuya is already in hand!

But it turns out that anyone who underestimates Hideyoshi Hashiba will pay a terrible price! It was so before, it is now, and it will be so in the future.

As soon as Shibata Katsuie succeeded, he began to charge his army to the left and right, trying to divide the area surrounding Hideyoshi and eat away at the opponent's forces. Unexpectedly, the chase was too deep, and it was not long before it had penetrated into the hinterland of the Hideyoshi army! Basically, I have descended the mountain and reached the plain at the foot of the mountain!

At this moment, only a cannon sound was heard on the top of Iwasaki Mountain not far away, and when everyone looked up, they rushed down from the top of the mountain and had been wearing the armor of the Yuchai family!

Shibata Katsuya was shocked, originally expected, this battle was mainly based on mountain warfare, so he didn't bring cavalry, almost all infantry! But I didn't expect that Hideyoshi would actually hide a cavalry on the top of the mountain! This is absolutely something that has never happened in mountain warfare, because the cavalry moves slowly in the mountains, and the impact of defending the terrain is very serious, so everyone in the art of war does not approve of the use of cavalry tactics in the mountain occupation!

But that's what Hideyoshi Hashiba, who has never played according to the routine! And there are quite a few of these teams, which should be around five thousand! This is probably the main cavalry force that Hideyoshi can draw out!

This cavalry charged towards Shibata Katsuya at the bottom of the mountain with an extremely brave posture! In order to facilitate mountain warfare, almost all of the Shengjia's subordinates carried * and infantry short guns, and were completely restrained in the face of cavalry.

In the crisis, Shibata Katsuya immediately showed the demeanor of his tactics, only to see that he did not retreat but advanced, not only did not run to the mountain, but commanded the army and rushed into the enemy formation again!

I nodded secretly at the top of the mountain, Shibata Katsuya is really good at fighting! He knew that his two-legged team would definitely not be able to outrun the opponent's four-legged cavalry, so instead of running up the hill and being chased by the opponent, it was better to squeeze into the enemy's formation, so that the opponent's cavalry would throw a mouse, slow down because of the fear of hurting his comrades, and finally couldn't rush up!

And the cavalry that can't rush up doesn't have much advantage in the face of the infantry, at most it is higher and faster, but it also has the defect of turning unfavorably and turning slowly! I have to say that Shibata Katsuya's change of tricks can be described as magical, and it is definitely the embodiment of many years of military career and the magic of skill gathering!

Unexpectedly, the commander of the opponent's cavalry team was not an ordinary person, and seeing that Katsuya's rapid change of formation was not conducive to his quick attack, he corrected the surface impact to a side cut, and scraped it thin along the side of Shibata Katsuya's army!

Just this time, Shibata Katsuya's subordinates are three or four hundred less! This on-the-spot formation change ability is really a ghost talent!

I was at the top of the hill, looking through the scope at the other side's cavalry commander, and I saw that this man was tall and strangely dressed, more like a playman than a samurai, wearing a red robe and a long feather headdress on his head! The whole person is colorful, just like a play on the stage! It's like a joke, is there such a war?

But this man was unequivocal in the battle, a mighty and majestic red war horse galloped and roared under his crotch, and a tiger and tiger dancing with a red body and a spear in his palm! Everywhere you go, almost no one can stop you! Even Shibata Katsuie had to squeeze into the enemy army to avoid its edge! It's really brave!

Who is he?

My mind was full of doubts, and as if there was a person's name gradually overlapping with the person in front of me.

Could it be that he is the legendary No. 1 person in the Warring States period - Keiji Maeda?
