"Jibei! Go tell the Iron Artillery Team to lower the frequency, shoot alternately in groups of several people, don't overheat the barrels, I still need them to continue firing for half an hour! ”

"Zenhachiro! Take your pikes up and let the wounded in front come down to rest, be careful to maintain the formation and resist the front line, but don't rush to the assault, make good use of the cover of the iron cannons! ”

"Yasuke! Allocate you a hundred armored warriors and go around from behind the small hill on the south side, the enemy's right flank has collapsed and it is impossible to cause obstruction, so you have to storm as fast as you can! ”

"Flat! Seventy ...... for you No, eighty ashigaru, reinforcements to the northwest, stay vigilant, if the other side tries to turn the tables around, that is the only way to attack! ”

Standing on a wooded hill with his head held high, Sakuma Nobumori observed the battle with a telescope in his left hand, while waving his military armament in his right hand, commanded his retainers to go out with their reserves.

As a "retreating Sakuma" who is known for his steadiness, he has full confidence in his command in a superior battlefield. It is better not to win a big victory than to resolutely avoid a big defeat, which is the way of Sakuma's battle.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the truth of "just matching the odd victory", on the contrary, in the case of accurate information and a small risk factor, Sakuma Nobumori prefers to use trickery than Shibata and Mori Kosei. He just hates that kind of gamble-like brainless pigs. (Although in the history of the Fusang War, there is no shortage of examples of gambling pigs suddenly reversing the tide of battle.) ）

Coming here today were 1,300 bannermen selected by the Sakuma family, well-trained and well-equipped, carrying 400 iron cannons, 200 war horses, and 600 pack horses, disguised as large caravans, and crossed the border overnight under the banner of the Oda family's royal merchants, and launched a surprise attack in the afternoon when the defenders were most lacking in energy.

As a result, the miscellaneous soldiers of the Hequan Temple were not beaten, and they were defeated at the first touch, and most of them ran away before they could engage in battle; The personal soldiers of the deacon of the shogunate government office, Ise Sadako, did not get much better, and only a dozen or so corpses were left behind, and their morale was demoralized. Only the Saga mercenaries showed considerable strength and quickly put up resistance, fighting with the vanguard elite of the Sakuma Army.

Kii Province is a hybrid, and it really lives up to its name! Especially since the employer has already taken the lead in escaping, and the mercenaries are still fighting, this is obviously not because their work ethic is too high, but because they can't stop when they kill red eyes.

But that's the end of it. The monasteries and shrines were completely dispersed, and the right wing of the heterogeneous people was completely exposed. According to the intelligence, the forces of the heterogeneous forces are limited, and it is impossible to divide their forces to withstand the attack from both sides in a short period of time. What's more, Sakuma Nobumori was also very cautious in sending reinforcements to strengthen the only weak link, so the final victory was still not very suspenseful.

The flames were soaring, the smoke was filled, and Sakuma Nobumori held the military ration in his hand, giving orders, full of spirit, and full of ambition.

Plan and decide, move like thunder, light soldiers, momentum like a bamboo, this is what a general should do! Like Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kosei, the behavior of charging forward even though they have commanded thousands of people is really unaesthetic!

It didn't matter if he was intoxicated, he was anxious to break the Ichishi vine next to him.

The two provided their names on one side and the other on the other side provided troops, and they cooperated to make this "big news", but their positions were not equal. Because in these years the reputation is not as valuable as the army.

For Sakuma Nobumori, he only needs to win this battle, show enough military strength to deter the Izumi Hao clan, and then obtain the right mouth, so that he can take the opportunity to reach in and plan for the future whale swallowing. If things don't go well, it's a big deal to withdraw to your hometown.

And Isshiki Fujicho took a big risk. It was not enough for him to win, he also had to overwhelm Ise Sadako in the political arena and gain the right to speak on behalf of the shogunate. It's no easier than winning a battle.

If only Ise Sadako could die on the battlefield. When the time comes, he will be given the glorious title of "not fearing life and death and personally going to the enemy camp to implement the strategy of delaying the army", and he can take the opportunity to inherit a part of the political legacy.

- But he couldn't say it directly.

Therefore, what Isshiki Fujinaga said to Sakuma Nobumori was: "Lord Sakuma really used his soldiers like a god, and then the thief chief Monk Jun and Priest Tashiro seem to have fled after hearing the news." If the first evil is not punished, it will inevitably seem that there are regrets for your achievements. In addition, the deacon of the government office, Lord Ise Sadako, has also fallen into the rebels......"

This was said inexplicably, but Sakuma Nobumori immediately understood.

Sakuma didn't want Ise Sadako to die, he preferred to "rescue" (capture) the living, and then the bargaining chips would be more sufficient, after all, eating the plaintiff and the defendant is the skill of a professional bureaucrat.

However, the two guys, Zen Master Jing and Tsukasa Tashiro Omiyaji, it is indeed best to kill them immediately. Those who have already offended once should be completely beaten to death, otherwise they will always be remembered by the enemy.

Sakuma Nobumori already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just pretended to smile wisely, and called his fifteen-year-old son sideways:

"Shinei! Gather the rest of your cavalry and pursue the remnants of the fleeing rebels! Be sure to get rid of the pure monk of Fukukuji Temple, and the two of Tashiro Omiya Tsukasa of Otori Shrine! But more importantly, pay attention to the whereabouts of the deacon of the shogunate office, Lord Ise Sadako! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a samurai in gorgeous black armor leading the troops. This person is slender and long, with a green face, but he is not nervous, but his face is solemn, he stands straight, and if he looks closely, it is the eldest son of Sakuma Nobumori, who is fifteen years old and has not served for a long time. (Imaginary years)

named his own son to do this, firstly, because the task of pursuing the enemy chieftain was the easiest way to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, because he had to confess some things that were not humane.

Although Sakuma Nobuei is young, his personality is similar to his father's, and he has always shown the appearance of a young precocious, and he has been given high hopes by the family. Outsiders also mostly think that this young man is calm and credible.

Isshiki Fujinaga thought that everyone had said that he was going to kill Ise Sadako in the chaos, and of course he nodded and smiled at this, expressing his satisfaction.

As long as Ise Sadako becomes a dead man who can't speak, then Isshiki Fujinaga, as the only shogunate representative on the front line, can monopolize the interpretation of all details.

Any business can be sold as long as it is monopolized, and Sakuma Nobumori has nothing but troops, and he lacks reputation. Even if something goes wrong in Sakuma, or someone else picks peaches, they always have to deal with the shogunate.

But in fact, Sakuma's father and son have already communicated in advance, and Ise Sadako is better to be captured alive, if he is willing to offer a better price than Isshiki Fujinaga, then the two sides are not unable to turn enemies into friends.

Both sides had their own thoughts, but there were extremely friendly smiles on their faces.
