Chapter 120: The Return of the Demon Dragon

When the ashigaru were driven by the samurai and gradually approached Mt. Shomon, the corpses everywhere and the blood that could almost drown the ankles made many ashigaru frightened on the spot, even if the samurai whipped them with scabbards, they refused to move forward, and even worse, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground and shivered. Even if some of them can already be said to be "experienced in a hundred battles", when has the intensity of the battle they experienced reached such a point? Nearly 2,000 people on both sides were killed in the battle between the coalition samurai and the Tsukahara army alone, a death toll that exceeded even the total number of casualties that the oldest Ashigaru had ever seen in his lifetime, and now these bodies are almost connected with the corpses of the coalition forces that were killed in the original battle, making it almost completely a Shura field.

The more you advance, the more tragic the battle becomes, most of the first Ashigaru samurai were killed by iron cannons, only one wound on their bodies, and the later ones were even mutilated, and when they came down to Shomon Mountain, the curtain wall composed of the corpses of war horses and knights was even more mad. Not only did the ashigaru go, but even the samurai were terrified, because the samurai who participated in the battle at the beginning suffered too many casualties, and they also urgently needed to recover physically, so the eight thousand elites who were the reserve team joined the ashigaru attack command after the dispatch of more than 2,000 cavalry, and they were full of energy and high morale, hoping to make contributions in this battle, but seeing such a terrible scene that they had never seen before, they instantly lost their sharpness. Even if they were like this, the samurai who had survived the previous battle could not raise their fighting spirit, and even when they recalled the tragic battle before, they felt a little scared, and they were glad that they had survived, and at the same time, they felt very uneasy that they were going to be on the battlefield again.

On the other hand, the Tsukahara army, although due to the disadvantage in numbers, everyone experienced a lot of physical strength after experiencing fierce battles, but fortunately, the coalition army was even more inefficient under fear, and they had time to recover their strength. At the same time, the generals who were awakened by Sasaki Nagahide were high-spirited and infected the soldiers, ready for the next round of confrontations. In the final analysis, the peasants are the private property of the wealthy clan, and once the casualties are too great, even if the peasant soldiers can still hold on, the wealthy people will be distressed to withdraw the troops. But the standing army recruited by Tsukahara Molong is actually only loyal to Tsukahara Molong alone, even if there are huge casualties, as long as the generals do not make any mistakes, they will be replenished again afterwards, and Tsukahara Molong has always been instilled with an iron-blooded policy, constantly brainwashing and brainwashing and brainwashing, plus Tsukahara Molong implements a very pragmatic policy of military exploits, every merit must be remembered, every inch of merit must be rewarded, and many people will also make war exploits on the battlefield A good way to be promoted on the spot. As a result, the casualty rate that the Tsukahara army could withstand was much higher than the average level of the army during the Warring States period.

When the main force of the coalition army finally began to attack Jiangmen Mountain, the iron cannon of the Tsukahara army sounded again, but it was not as continuous as at the beginning, and the number was much less, which made the Hao family governors of the coalition army suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and began to constantly urge their subordinates to attack the mountain, and even the cavalry team was sent by them as a war team.

However, although the number of iron cannons used was not large, the dense fence was a great headache for the coalition forces, standing in front of the fence and using knives and guns to pick and destroy, the speed was too slow, it was easy to be used as a live target, rushing up from the gap between the fences, the road was too narrow, it was also easy to be shot, and it was not conducive to the speed of attack. As a result, at the foot of Jiangmen Mountain, the coalition soldiers accumulated more and more, covering almost the entire battlefield. With the help of the terrain and the fence, the Tsukahara Army's group leader, captain, and reserve commander have done their best, and they have continuously sharpened and verified their abilities in the battle, and their command ability to the troops has also been improved unconsciously. In the final analysis, no matter how good Tsukahara Molong is at teaching martial arts, it will be useless if commanders at all levels can't use it in practice.

The 38,000 allied troops attacked Jiangmen Mountain in waves like angry waves, but they were like waves hitting a solid cliff, and they had to retreat in a gray way after hitting their heads and bleeding, so that the next wave could continue to attack. The wealthy family governors who have already beaten their eyes are like gamblers who have fallen into the devil, they have paid a lot for victory, and now victory seems to be in sight, as if as long as you work a little harder, as long as you push a little harder, you can get a huge spoils of war. This gambler's mentality, once it spreads, will be very difficult to control. Hardly anyone noticed that the spirit and morale of the coalition forces had been exhausted by the successive failed attacks, and that all the ashigaru and samurai were struggling in a meat grinder with no hope of victory, and their mood was getting lower and lower. It is in response to what Cao Di said: "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." ”

The battle went on at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and a guard quietly came to the coffin of Tsukahara Moryū, and tapped the coffin seven times according to a certain rhythm, and the coffin, which had been ignored, suddenly moved.

"I smell the killing."

A familiar voice suddenly came out of the coffin, and the hearts of the people around him suddenly trembled, and even Sasaki Nagahide, who was extremely killing, heard this, his body shook undetectably, and he turned his head to look, Tsukahara Moryū, who was dressed in heavy armor, slowly sat up from the coffin, looked around, and showed a strange smile.

"See the lord!" The generals finally woke up from the shock, their eyes showed ecstasy, Tsukahara Molong's awakening at this moment is enough to explain everything, the whole battle is part of Tsukahara Molong's strategy! And this battle of 6,000 troops against 38,000 troops has been going on for nearly five hours, even if they are all elite and standing up, their physical strength and energy have reached the limit. They can stubbornly face a six-fold enemy under the leadership of Sasaki Nagahide, but the longer they can fight in such a hopeless battle, the more difficult it will be for Sasaki Nagahide's prestige to subdue everyone. Tsukahara Molong is different, his appearance almost means victory, in this world, nothing can stop Tsukahara Molong's footsteps, Satomi Yoshiyao can't do it, Hojo Shiyasu can't, what about the 38,000 army? At that time, Tsukahara Molong led eighteen horsemen to dare to launch the night battle of Ninja City, Mashiko Katsukiyo, Edo Tadamitsu, Oishi Dinghisa, Kasawara Nobuyo and other famous Kanto generals were awarded, Hojo Shiyasu was hit hard, and the 38,000 army retreated, and now the Tsukahara army has 6,000 standing in hand, but there is no such famous general in the 38,000 army in front of them, what reason do they have not to win?

"Beat the drums, all the soldiers, follow me to fight!!"

"Oh!!" The crowd responded.
