At the same time that Rubai and others fled to the bottom of the mountain by taking the mountain road, Zong Chuan still led the Ming soldiers to fight heroically, trying to repulse Gangzhi and then turn around and join the main formation, but Gangzhi did not intend to give him a chance, in the face of the Ming army three times his own, he could still drag it to the death, and buy time for the sneak attack troops.

Tadaemon and Xiong Xu also lived up to expectations, facing the Ming army's main formation in the crowd, without the slightest fear, wielding the sword in his hand to slash back and forth in the crowd, especially Xiong Xu, although the three swords were all cut to the edge, but still tireless, picking up the sword from the ground and continuing to fight, this time this scene is somewhat similar to the Ashikaga Yoshiteru back then.

Seeing that the lord was so desperate, the samurai under his command Ashigaru even disregarded life and death, rushed into the Ming Formation with all his might, and started a melee battle with all his might, presumably killing red eyes, and some Japanese soldiers were actually injured by their own people, which also reflected the cruelty and fierceness of the battle from the side.

"It's a big deal, General Li has escaped!" At this moment, a howl came from the formation, and then many soldiers also responded: "General Li has left us alone, brothers hurry up and run for your life!" ”

"What, General Li ran away?!" Hearing this shout, the Ming army, who had been fighting bloodily, couldn't help but mutter: "The boss escaped from the battle, it's impossible." ”

"Yes, it must be a ploy of the Wokos." Some also chimed in.

"Brother, why are you still stunned, General Li has run away, we can't die in vain!" Just as everyone was puzzled, a group of routed soldiers rushed out of the main formation, and shouted as they ran towards the woods: "We have been abandoned by the general, and it will be too late if we don't run." ”

"I know him, isn't that General Li's bodyguard?" A peripheral Ming army pointed to one of the routs and said: "It seems to be true, General Li really fled, in this case, there is no point in us going on, let's escape with them!" ”

"Yes, it was Li Rubai who was unrighteous first, no wonder we are!" Hearing the unbelievable reality, the soldiers' names for Rubai also changed instantly, and for a while, the voices of complaining and cursing were mixed, and the soldiers began to flee the battlefield in groups of three or five, fleeing along the woods on both sides towards the bottom of the mountain. In the face of deserters, Tadaemon and Sukuma strictly forbade pursuit, knowing that it was enough to defeat an army of 5,000 with 800 remnants against a 5,000 army, and that it was just a fool's dream to annihilate them all.

Finding that the Japanese army did not pursue the deserters, the Ming troops who resisted stubbornly with a fluke mentality began to panic and despair, and tried to escape from the Japanese entanglement and fled into the woods.

But at this time, the Japanese army was unwilling to release the water, and in the face of the Ming army, which was twice their number, Tadaemon and Xuxiong ordered at the same time: "Kill them all, and leave no one behind!" Immediately, the red-eyed Japanese army was once again excited, like a hungry wolf to pounce on those Ming soldiers who had lost the will to resist, with desperate wails and crimson blood, a minority-to-majority massacre was staged on this forest path, less than a stick of incense, except for a few people who escaped by luck, the remaining more than 1,000 people were killed.

At the same time, the battle between Tsunazhi and Zong Chuan presented a different scene, due to the disadvantage in numbers, Tsuna, who had been holding on for a long time, finally couldn't support it and began to retreat towards the mountain.

"General, something is wrong, this formation, this formation has been destroyed by the Japanese Invaders!" When Zong Chuan passed by a wood, a wounded soldier crawled out of the bushes and weakly persuaded: "General Li escaped from the battle, and now that the back road has been blocked by the Japanese invaders, you should take your brothers and flee from the woods to the bottom of the mountain." ”

"How is that possible?!" Zong Chuan's face turned dark, and he squatted down and pulled the wounded soldier's collar and asked, "How can an army of a few thousand people be wiped out by just a few hundred people?" You say that General Li escaped, but is there any evidence? ”

"I have," said the wounded soldier, who raised his hand with great difficulty, pointing not far away, "you see, isn't that the evidence?" ”

Zong Chuan stood up and looked in the direction pointed by the wounded soldiers, only to see a group of samurai holding swords shouting towards him, the shouts came from far and near, accompanied by footsteps that shook the mountains, and shocked the Ming army's feet trembling and his scalp numb, Zong Chuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: "Is it really going to die here?" ”

"General, run away, and we'll leave it to you." Just when Zong Chuan was hesitant and lost, the soldiers of the Ming army beside him came over one after another, looked at Zong Chuan with a resolute gaze, and solemnly admonished.

"What nonsense!" Zong Chuan came back to his senses, looked around at the more than 200 Ming army soldiers around, all of them were blood-stained brocade robes, scarred, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Only Zong Chuan who died in battle, and there is no loyalty to live (Zong Chuan's zigzag), although the matter has come to this point, but we have tried our best, and we will not want to steal our lives, but you don't have to be like this, you can just scatter into the bushes and sneak back to the mountain, and I will leave it to me to resist." ”

"General!" As soon as Zong Chuan finished speaking, a soldier who had lost his arm rushed to him and said first: "You are not afraid of death, are we just cowards and thieves?" Although the last general has lost his right arm, as long as he has one breath left, he will definitely fight to the death with the Japanese Kou! Please also make it complete! After speaking, he knelt down with a "poof".

"Why do you bother?" Zong Chuan hurriedly squatted down, ready to help him up, but he never thought that at this moment, the soldiers of the Ming army present all knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Please make it complete!" Everyone shouted in unison, the shout was loud and loud, and the shouts of the Japanese army in the distance were also covered for a time, and the morale of the whole army was suddenly boosted, and the people of the Zhijiao were surging.

"I understand," Zong Chuan slowly stood up and sighed: "Compared with those dignitaries, you are the real soul of the Ming Dynasty, the matter has come to this, let us kill happily, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of our parents!" After that, Zong Chuan picked up a naginata knife from the ground as a crutch, took the Miao knife from the deputy general's hand, and held it high to shout at the Japanese army: "Brothers, eliminate the Japanese and protect the country!" ”

"Eliminate the Japanese and defend the country!" The soldiers got up angrily, waved the weapons in their hands, and shouted and rushed towards the oncoming Japanese army, although Zong Chuan was unable to move, but he still tried to move forward with the assistance of two soldiers, and did not want to be behind.

Finding that a group of Ming troops rushed towards them like crazy, these Japanese soldiers who had just carried out the massacre couldn't help but be stunned: It seems that the Ming army is not all soft persimmons.

"It's interesting to fight this battle, boys, give it to me!" Presumably it was a good kill, Tadaemon was not afraid of Sotsuma's department at all, not only that, but also a little more anticipation and excitement, as if he was not in a war, but a challenging game.

At this moment, Tsunao, who heard the shouting of killing, immediately ordered the army to stop retreating, he looked at the situation on the mountainside, his eyes rolled, and ordered: "Pass my military order, the front army will be changed to the rear army, and the rear army will be changed to the front army, immediately go down the mountain to launch a counterattack, and cooperate with Lord Ashizuka to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop!" ”
