A drowning person will hold on tightly even if he picks up a straw, let alone such a large piece of wood.

Behind me, Shigehide Suzuki's Saga and the scorching musketeers were firing fiercely, spitting tongues of fire and vengeful bullets, pouring down on Hideyoshi's army!

And our formation is steadily pressing forward - 5,000 people. More than 2,000 of them were the rebels of Asai Lansho, 700 were the remnants of the Saga clan, and 200 were the Burning Musket Team and the ninjas under my command. The remaining 2,000 people are the remnants of the Maeda Toshiie's army who are willing to come with me and come to support Sakuma Morimasa after I killed Maeda Toshiya.

Five thousand people are not considered the main force on the battlefield, but the key is at one time! At this time, the two sides on the front line were already fighting in a hurry, and they were all fighting with one breath, and my addition immediately disrupted Hideyoshi's position, especially the appearance of the team representing the highest level of the entire Dongying Iron Cannon - Saga Zhong, which made Hideyoshi even more overwhelmed!

Shigehide Suzuki is helping me, and he's fighting for himself! The fiasco of Ishiyama Honganji Temple is an indelible pain in his life, and today is the day when he Shigehide Suzuki washes away his shame!

Sakuma Morimasa's body was in the middle of the formation, and when he saw the banner of the word "Sun", he immediately understood that it was me who came. While feeling grateful, I suddenly remembered that my uncle had mentioned that I was not at ease with him. Now it seems that Sun Qilan is right-Sakuma Sheng Zhengxin said.

At this time, his heart was very entangled, should he enter? Or should I retreat?

If you advance, your own sergeant has already been fighting for a day, will you still be able to keep fighting?

But if you want to retreat, won't it give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

In the end, the brave man decided to strike a decisive blow!

He was in the lineup, and suddenly shouted "hoo"! The sound was like a thunderbolt in the flats!

Hearing this voice, the soldiers around him suddenly felt a spirit, and they knew that the Lord was going to charge to the death! The soldiers of the Hoklu who were not afraid of death immediately shouted at the same time! This sound resounded in the sky, and more than 5,000 people seemed to be burning!

When the sergeants of Hashiba Hideyoshi heard this, their morale was shaken! They trekked more than 50 kilometers of mountain roads, and although they rested for more than two hours, their physical strength was not fully recovered. I wanted to crush the other party in one go, but who knew that such a support army would emerge!

Riding on a horse, Hideyoshi Hashiba clenched his teeth and looked at my flag in a daze! Is this fate? Am I not trying hard enough? Am I not good enough? He asked himself secretly, why do I work so hard, but I still can't do it? Shouldn't I be victorious in today's battle?

I admit that Hideyoshi Hashiba is intelligent, and his resourcefulness is definitely in the top three among the Warring States of Toei, but he also has his own flaws, that is, he is not very good at fighting tough battles. Of course, this is also inevitable, smart people always think more, but also more life-saving, so whether it is learning martial arts, or military, there is an allusion to the strength of the ten will come, and the brave will win when they meet on the narrow road.

At this time, his own morale fell with the assistance of Sun Qilan's reinforcements, and the almost crippled Sakuma Sheng army in front of him suddenly broke out again! Yushiba Hideyoshi only felt that his team couldn't hold on! Although Koichiro in the back, that is, the team of Hashiba Hidenaga followed, but the fire area was so large, the front team was in chaos, and the back team was unstable!

Sure enough, in the case of Sakuma Morimasa's army charging to the death, Hashiba Hideyoshi's army was seriously chaotic! Because they are already afraid!

In the battle formation, a samurai under the command of Sakuma Morimasa slashed the enemy in front of him with a sword, but was pierced in the abdomen by another enemy who rushed out of the diagonal stab! The samurai roared,* swinging out flat, slashing the enemy who attacked him! After stumbling a few steps, he pulled out his left hand and pulled out the spear that was pierced in his abdomen! At the same time, a third enemy rushed up and slashed him again! His left arm was already flying, and blood was spurting from his chest! But before he died, he threw the * in his hand and killed the Hideyoshi army samurai in front of him again!

The decisive Sakuma Morimasa Army burst out with a powerful combat power unimaginable to ordinary people, and under the cover of muskets in the rear, it completely defeated the fearful Hideyoshi Army!

There is a way that the army is defeated like a mountain, and the people and horses in front rush back in a panic, and the team behind is naturally scattered! Hideyoshi's army began to retreat, and despite the panic, it still maintained a certain formation!

In the Hideyoshi formation, the brave generals tried their best to restrain the retreating men, and extremely outstanding figures such as Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Katagiri and Moto even began to counterattack with their cronies! While Hideyoshi's army is even more chaotic, it seems to be full of rejuvenation!

I know that after this battle, some of the best men under Hideyoshi Hashiba were called "Shidake Shichibengun", and they were the seven most successful samurai of Hideyoshi's side. According to popular accounts, these seven people should be Kiyomasa Kato, Masanori Fukushima, Takenori Kasaya, Katagiri Kazumoto, Yoshiaki Kato, Nagayasu Hirano, and Yasuharu Wakisaka. It was precisely because of the extraordinary performance of these people that the Hideyoshi army was able to defeat the Shibata Katsuie, who was originally better at fighting than himself!

At this time, it was these people who took the lead in counterattacking, and they brought a lot of trouble to the Sakuma Mori Army, who was desperately charged. The forward sergeant immediately felt the pressure and was no longer as indomitable as he was just now!

High in the rear, I looked at the situation in front of me and immediately shouted: "Gather fire and attack those generals who are leading the counter-charge!" Hit the one in armor! ”

The armor was worn by samurai and generals, and the battle-hardened Suzuki Shigehide and Hiroshi immediately adjusted their firepower and began to fiercely concentrate fire on the generals of the Hideyoshi Army who were counter-charging!

Katagiri and Yuan wore a locking foot gear and rushed to the front line. Not long after he got into contact with Sakuma Mori Masa, he was suddenly hit in the neck by a bullet! He covered the wound with both hands, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and his body fell like a mountain!

The Lord will die in battle, and the soldiers around him will suddenly be in chaos! The Hideyoshi army along the way began to retreat in an all-round way!

Fukushima Masanori is wearing a Nanban lock foot gear with a large iron plate on his chest! I was shot three times in a row and was unharmed, and I was laughing, but I was hit in the center of my eyebrows by a shot! The brave general didn't even say a word, and then he fell to the ground and died with a stiff face!

I blew the smoke of gunpowder*, reloaded my bullets, and started aiming for the next general!

"Boom!" I don't know who it hit, but I can see that there is a big mess over there!

Such a precise kill greatly affected the morale of Hideyoshi's army, and although the Shichiben spears that took the lead in the counter-charge were brave, they suffered heavy casualties under our sniper fire, and immediately withered, hid in the sergeant pile and began to retreat!

Sakuma Morimasa was overjoyed, and he was about to pursue with his subordinates, when he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind him: "Genhata! Don't chase! ”

When Sakuma Morimasa looked back, he saw me galloping on my horse and coming straight for him!

Running to me, I turned over and dismounted, and the old boy, who didn't care that he was covered in blood, ran over in a few steps, and with a wave of his hand stuck his spear on the ground, he wanted to hug me! Who knew that before he ran to him, his legs were weak and he almost fell!

I quickly hugged him and smiled, "Dude! I'm late! ”

Sakuma Morimasa laughed and said, "It's not too late! Brother, you're not too late to come! Walk! Let's go and destroy that monkey together! ”

As he spoke, he struggled to pull me forward. With both hands, I grabbed Sakuma Morimasa, and said in a deep voice: "Maeda Toshiya has rebelled, and I have corrected him!" ”

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Sakuma Morimasa's head, he suddenly sobered up a lot, thought about it, hammered his thigh and said, "Sure enough!" When I was in danger, this guy didn't say a word and ran away by himself! I was skeptical, but I didn't have time to think...... Qilan, you're doing the right thing! I'll explain it to my uncle! ”

Seeing that he was awake and his red eyes were slowly returning to black, I knew it was time to retreat! So I continued: "The sum of your and my armies is only more than 7,000 people, and the enemy army is still around 20,000. It is really unwise to attack the strong with the weak, and your department is tired! It's not as good as this! ”

I pointed to the peak of Mt. Shidake and said, "How about we go there, condescendingly, block the enemy army, wait for the arrival of Shibata-sama, and then try to encircle and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop?" ”

In fact, when I say this, I am not giving him face. With our current strength, it would be a blessing not to be annihilated by Hideyoshi! How to annihilate Hideyoshi's army?

Then again, some people must be wondering, why did I only make a move now, why didn't I come earlier?

There are many reasons for this. First, the Lord will be at odds. Shibata Katsuya didn't trust me. I've reminded him many times that Sakuma Morimasa can't be a striker, and Maeda Toshiya can't be a general, but he doesn't listen. No matter how much I say and do, he doesn't believe it.

Secondly, our own problems. Of my 2,000 men, more than 70 percent are volunteers loyal to Asai Lansho, 20 percent are Suzuki Shigehide's Saga people, and only 10 percent are elite sailors and ninja warriors under my command. In other words, I don't have a high level of trust in my subordinates, and vice versa, they can't fight to the death for me, and they are not suitable for fighting tough battles.

Third, the comparison of military strength. In the battle of nearly 100,000 people on both sides, if our 2,000-odd people are placed on the frontal battlefield, they will be the strength of the enemy army to charge at once. Just like the Nakagawa Kiyohide army at the top of the big rock mountain, under the condition of relying on simple fortifications, it was defeated by a charge of Sakuma Morima, which is a "potential" and is not transferred by human will.

Fourth, timing. Sakuma Morimasa was attacked by Hideyoshi's army and began to retreat in search of reinforcements, but did not have a strong will to fight a decisive battle. However, seeing that Maeda Toshiya was retreating without authorization, he was already desperate and began to turn around and fight to the death, only to hold back Hideyoshi's army. After the battle between the two sides heats up, they are like tight strings, and I am the skillful hand that fluctuates the strings! Come early, come late, no!

Only now is the perfect time!

Sakuma Moshimasa was obviously persuaded by me, and he pulled his spear from the ground and shouted, "Go up the mountain!" Go up the hill and stop the enemy! ”

A thick Hokuriku accent came out, and the forbidden headquarters immediately stopped pursuing the Hideyoshi army and began to rush towards the peak of Mt. Shidake on the left!

When the Hideyoshi army saw that Sakuma Morimasa's army was no longer approaching, they stopped, but they were beaten by a rain of muskets and bullets from our army behind, and they had to continue to hug their heads!

Seeing that the other party hadn't reacted for the time being, and had no sense of counterattack, I followed Sakuma Morimasa's troops and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain!

When we reached the top of the mountain, we picked up the surrounding stones with Sakuma Morima's troops and began to build improvised fortifications using the terrain. This is also to better preserve the strength, strengthen the defense, and wait for the arrival of Shibata Katsuie!

At the same time, I also asked my ninjas to help Sakuma Morimasa's army heal the wounded, after all, ninjas can be regarded as multi-functional special troops, and in these aspects, they must be much stronger than ordinary soldiers!

As the minutes ticked by, the sky began to glow. I secretly called out in my heart, damn Shibata Katsuya, can you be on time! It was now night, and Hideyoshi didn't know how many of us were, so he didn't move and surrounded him at the bottom of the mountain. When the day dawns, seeing that our number is limited, I am afraid that it will be our last date!

The wait was difficult, and by the time dawn came, Sakuma Morimasa's army had already recovered some of its combat effectiveness, and our army was ready for it. The Hideyoshi army under the mountain has been mobilized and is ready to attack, and the expected Shibata Katsuya army has also appeared in the field of vision, above the foothills of the northwest mountain!
