297

It feels like the story of this [Battle Under the Snow] has been written for too long, and there are too many.

Even I felt a little dragged on myself.

And one of the things that disappointed me was that

I originally wanted to show this battle through the perspective of Keer Caizang, but I wrote and wrote, and I don't know if my level was really bad, and it turned out to be a story of him alone.

And the storyline also

It became the Great Escape of Victory.

The storyline turned out to be completely out of the author's control!

It's really annoying to me!

But please bear with me and appreciate it a little more, after all, this is the last battle between the protagonist and the Maori family, and the next battle will have to wait until ...... Hehe, I won't spoil it this time. ╭(╯ε╰)╮

Let's talk about this book, it seems that after writing this chapter, the book will be full of 300 chapters

(This book is currently four chapters in one, 12,000 words in one).

At noon, I came out of Azuchi Castle.

Things were almost discussed, and at my suggestion, Oda Nobunaga got a new solution to the problem:

Niwa Nagashige served as the governor of Osaka Prefecture (the Oda Shogunate currently had two prefectures: Kyoto and Osaka), and of course he certainly couldn't manage such a large place by himself, and appointed Ikeda Nobuyuki, who was born as a veteran of Owari, as the governor of Osaka (managing the trade between Ishiyama and Sakai Port).

The governor was equal to the governor, the former was responsible for law and order, and the latter was responsible for the economy, and was responsible only to the shogun.

Of course, these appointments will not take effect until the war in Shikoku is over and the two adults take office.

It was not easy to get Oda Nobunaga to make a compromise.

At the same time, let two Owari people enter the shogunate, and now the old ministers of Owari should be satisfied, right?

I don't know if they were satisfied, but Oda Nobunaga was really relieved in the end.

[These guys, if you don't appease them, it's really not good...... Thanks to you this time, Kogoro. 】

[Haha, what did the general say? As the saying goes: [The king is worried and humiliated], if you can't solve your difficulties and worries, it is a dereliction of duty on our subordinates. 】

[The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers? Well said, I like to talk to literate children like you, so it always sounds comfortable. 】

[Where?] The general has won the award......]

He said this on his lips, but he was thinking about it in his heart:

Oda Nobunaga has really changed!

In the past, Oda Nobunaga was a person who was close to the people at the bottom and despised the upper class and flashy society, and I once heard Ikeda Nobunaga who accompanied him since he was a child tell that when he was a teenager, when he was still in Owari, he could play with the people in the castle town regardless of the identity of the son of a dignified lord, and after he became an adult, he went to the countryside many times, walked the streets and alleys, greeted the people with warmth, and understood the people's suffering.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga had not yet made a career, but there was no one in his domain who did not know him.

His actions were inexplicable and comical to relatives such as his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki and mother Tsuchida Gozen, as well as opponents such as Oda Nobuhiro.

That's too much.

It's one thing to lose a share, and they quickly understood Oda Nobunaga's intentions————

In a series of wars with Oda Nobunaga, the people of Owari almost completely fell to that [big fool]!

Not only did they use their own wealth to fund the armies of fools and lead the way for fools, but some of them also directly opposed them, throwing poison into the water silos that the army drank and plundering the very precious military rations......

It can be said that the reason why Oda Nobunaga was able to become the master of Owari has a lot to do with his [grassroots line].

And this habit has been maintained, although Oda Nobunaga is a very cruel person in the eyes of outsiders, but those of us who know him well know that his cruelty is only to create a "strong" appearance, to intimidate and intimidate his enemies.

The policies he implemented were all based on "benevolent administration" and "benevolent administration", which was not only stronger than Takeda Shingen's father and son, who used harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to squeeze the people to obtain military spending, but also surpassed the "four princes and six people" of Hojo Shiyasu and his son, and the people really benefited from it.

And what about high society? Don't look at how good his relationship with the court is, in fact, he looks down on those flashy and depraved people.

He has taught us juniors more than once before:

Don't look at how luxurious and elegant those civil and military ministers and royal families are, they are nothing without our worship!

Their days are nothing more than smelling incense, drinking tea, and then composing two or three harmony songs or Tang poems every day, and that's it...... There is no way to do it, they don't have to fight, they don't have to make money, every time there is a white rice from the manors of [Tianling] from all over the country to their granary, it can be said that they can have nothing to do and have no worries about food and clothing...... Tell me, how can man not fall under such circumstances? …… Once again, I warn you that the samurai must remain simple and resilient no matter what, and once they become the people I just mentioned, it will be all over.

Oda Nobunaga's teachings at that time still reverberate in my ears today.

But the one who spoke then is now ......

Since he was appointed as a general and a minister, he has had more and more contacts with the imperial court for political purposes, and he is no longer free to meet with merchants, monks, scholars and other civilians who come to visit him as before.

Say something that could lead to a beheading————

The person who is really falling is actually Oda Nobunaga himself!

Originally, he was the most disdainful of the red tape of high society, but he slowly began to like this set.

That's right! I remember a lot of the big names in history like that————

When I was a teenager, I had good rules.

In the prime of life, he only acted with the courage of a horseman.

After the age of confusion, they think that they have achieved fame, are proud and complacent, and rest on their laurels.

It's not going to go on like this...... The general is like this, I can't dissuade it, then the next generation of generals, uh......

I thought of Oda Nobutada again.

Compared to Oda Nobunaga, I have had too little contact with Oda Nobutada, and I don't know much about him.

Oda Nobunaga was born in Kumang, at that time the Oda family was only one of the three commissioners under the Takee Spo family, the lord of the Owari country, although Oda Nobuhide was known as the "Tiger of Owari", crisscrossing the four prefectures of Owari Shita, and had the ability to fight with Imagawa Yoshimoto and Saito Michizo, but under the pressure of the Spo family and Oda Tongmen, he could only keep his head down.

Oda Nobunaga is eloquent and has an extraordinary personality, completely different from his father, and acts extremely perversely, always making people feel that he is proud and conceited, domineering, and feels that he is a [son of troubled times] born for this world.

Whether it is Oda Nobuhide or Oda Nobunaga, as people in the troubled times of the Warring States, their father and son can be regarded as quite [characterful] people.

But......

Oda Nobutada, the third generation of the Oda family, is the opposite.

He was mild-mannered and unremarkable, and although he was also very talented, he was not immediately surprising compared to his grandfather and father.

He knows how to behave in a good way, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary.

Maybe the descendants of wealthy families will have a hard time having personality when they reach the third, fourth, and fifth generations.

But then again, although Oda Nobutada's personality is not quite the same as Oda Nobunaga's, both of them are masters of culture.

So will he not be like this in the future?

Hehe, who knows......

[Your understanding today is really good, I am so obsessed with a person that I ignore it

The essence behind the incident......]

Oda Nobunaga looked at me, his eyes narrowing, making it difficult for me to see his gaze.

[Finally...... You've become like Jubei......]

【？ 】

Became like my father? What does that mean?

[Nothing...... It's almost noon, so you can stay with me for a light meal. 】

[Thank you, General, for your kindness, but I hope to go home and prepare for my mother's funeral with my family as soon as possible.] 】

[Well, that's the same...... By the way, what are you going to do with your mother's funeral? 】

I think Oda Nobunaga is a little verbose today, he usually doesn't care much about the family affairs of his retainers, and he doesn't bother to meddle in them.

However, if he is really idle and panicked, he will also pay special attention to it————

For example, more than ten years ago, Yushiba Hideyoshi's wife Ning Ning couldn't stand the love of her husband's wife and concubines after his career, and clamored for a divorce and a monk.

Although Yuchai Hideyoshi is strong, he always can't raise his head in front of his eldest wife, and he can't stop it for a while......

At this time, I don't know where the spirit came from, Oda Nobunaga actually played the role of "old lady" with great interest and came forward to mediate, of course, the result was just like what was written in the history books.

However, there are very few such examples, and Oda Nobunaga has been very busy with ordinary government affairs, so he still has the spare time to be busy with these miscellaneous things?

[I don't have an accurate idea for a while, because I used to only hold funerals for the samurai who died in the war in my family, and my mother is not a samurai, so it must be different. 】

Listening to my words, Oda Nobunaga was very dissatisfied.

He rebuked me:

[How did you become a son?] I don't even have an idea of what will happen to my family! 】

Not again!

Oda Nobunaga began to talk to me again in the tone of "Lao Tzu Trains His Son", and he really deserves to be my [father]!

[Forget it, let me act as a staff officer for you this time, and teach you the details of the funeral!] 】

Oda Nobunaga is starting to get back in the way.

Belch? You?

Can you do it?

You're going to be my counselor?

Wait a minute!

If I remember correctly, it seems that you did something very rebellious at your father's funeral, such as sprinkling incense powder on the spiritual seat......

At this time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly said coldly:

[Kogoro, are you thinking about something very rude? 】

[Huh? 】

【You don't have garlic here...... Oh, I see, you must be thinking about what I did when I was younger...... Foolish...... Ridiculous thing......]

My mouth opened wide.

Oda Nobunaga, can you not be able to read minds?

Why can you always see through my mind so easily?

[It's nothing, I don't actually understand mind reading or anything, it's just that you always can't hide your thoughts, and all the thoughts in your heart are written on your face, and people who are a little smarter can understand it, and you sometimes like to talk to yourself, and your voice is a little louder......]

Oda Nobunaga explained the problem for me, and I was completely speechless.

All right! Even I have to admit it————

I'm a big idiot!

[Don't worry, although I was really ...... when I was young]

Oda Nobunaga didn't blame me for being rude, which I didn't expect.

At this time, he seems to have fallen into the remembrance of his youth.

His complexion softened.

It was as if the imposing shogun no longer existed, and in front of me was a retired man in his fifties (according to the average age of the Sengoku people, fifty years old is indeed considered an old age).

[At that time, it was really nostalgic...... Old man, old man Zhengxiu, Kecheng, Xinhui, Naozheng...... It's been almost forty years......]

Everyone has nostalgia, and the older the person, the more so.

[By the way, let's talk about your family's funeral.] 】

He turned his attention back, but in a completely different tone than he had just spoken.

I don't understand Oda Nobunaga's thoughts at all, why did he care so much about this?

And, it seems that you want to do it for me.

[There is no banquet in the world that will not be separated, and meeting is the beginning of parting, so Kogoro, you don't need to be too sad......]

[Yes.] 】

[My instruction to you is that I hope you can transfer the corpse to Atagoyama as soon as possible, and your mother believes in Buddhism, so she will do it according to the funeral of the Buddhist family...... The Buddhist funeral was held at the Seiryoji Temple in Kyoto, and the tablet was placed in the Masahide Temple in Mino, after all, she was a Mino, and the leaves fell back to her roots. 】

【Atagoyama? Qingliang Temple? Isn't this a bit arrogant, in the past, it was a royal ...... here]

[You don't care about this!] No one will say anything wrong with you! 】

[Yes.] 】

[The Buddha came from the western Elysium, and if he is buried in Mt. Atago, your mother will face the west. 】

[Facing West? 】

I hadn't thought about these details at all before, and asked with a dry mouth.

[Yes.] I used to think that life was only in this world, but that was not the case. A person's going can be called a life, or it can be called a life, and there is no life or death for a person. It was only after listening to the monk's lecture a few days ago that I finally understood...... After understanding, the mood naturally changed]

【Destiny? Afterlife? 】

For me, who doesn't believe much in Buddhism, these things are really hard to understand......

Ke'er Caizang seems to have had a dream, a dream that is very far away.

In the dream, he saw many people and did many things, but when he savored the ins and outs of these things, he woke up with a splitting headache.

[Lord Kerr, please don't move, you are now covered in injuries, and because of crawling in the wind and snow, you have a serious fever, now lie down......]

Next to it are the words of the medics.

He's really safe this time————

This is the main camp of the Yamazaki Rangers, and there are eight or nine hundred people stationed here, so even if Kumagai Motonao and the ronins come over, there is no need to be afraid.

Bah! He is a samurai who stands up to the sky! How can you be afraid?!

Maybe it was really his own strength that moved the Buddha, tonight————

When Yasuda Sakubei led a few people through the woods and found him, he could no longer walk, his teeth were tight, his whole body trembled, and it was difficult to speak.

It's really worthy of [Good Ki Friend], Yasuda didn't say a word, immediately changed his wet clothes for him, and after carrying him back quickly, he ordered the military doctor to drink some hot and hot miso soup.

As for the injuries on the body, they were handed over to the military doctors for careful diagnosis and treatment.

Let's recuperate in peace and leave the matter to everyone......

The war horse galloped, like a wind sweeping over the earth, and the knight on the horse, dressed in white feathers, swept over him, and the whole person looked heroic and extraordinary.

In his hand, he held a long war knife, made of stainless steel, extremely sharp, and in the sunlight, radiating a dazzling cold light.

In the wilderness, there were several wooden men, the war horses galloped past, and the knight immediately brandished his war knife and slashed heavily on the head of the wooden man, and the sawdust flew all over the sky, and when the katana galloped through the wilderness, several wooden people had been cut off their heads.

Immediately, the knight urged the horse back, and looked at his results, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face.

[Mr. Ichichi, what do you think of my art of war? 】

The knight smugly asked the old man who was standing by and watching.

[Kumagai-sama's sword and horse kung fu are very good, and he will definitely be a general who can be alone in the future! ] 】

[Thanks for the compliment.] 】

[The only regret is ......]

The old man's tone changed suddenly.

[Kumagai-sama has experienced too little experience, and there are too few opportunities to capture the flag, so it is also a little difficult to make contributions...... But as long as you seize the opportunity, who can stand in the way of your fame?! 】

[Hahahaha......]

Kumagai Motonao likes to hear this the most, he has always thought highly of himself, he has always been like this, he always thinks that the reason why he can't become an excellent military general is because of the constraints of his family (Kumagai Hiroma) and his uncle's distrust of him.

As long as you get enough opportunities, it is not easy to kill all sides and make contributions before sending troops into battle.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to a piece of hemp rope:

[Mr. Ichichi, don't worry, as long as you help me defeat the enemy, I will incorporate Ichichi and form it as my subordinates, you are also the samurai of my Kumagai family, so continue to lead them as Ashigaru Shogun!] 】

A hemp rope flattered salute and thanked:

[Thank you, Kumagai-sama!] This is the old man's dream for many years......]

But in his heart, he scolded with disdain:

[Little brat! What are you! actually be my master, and how can a mere ashigaru general satisfy me......]

I forgot to mention that when he was working in the Xingong Party, he was the highest in the position of a general.

And the [price code] that Yoshikawa Motoharu gave him before was also a general.

Because it can be regarded as [official reinstatement], the boss reluctantly accepted it, but the little ghost in front of him who doesn't know the height of the sky is ......

According to common sense, it should be difficult for Master Kumagai, who prides himself on being noble and does not know how to be polite

A poor and lowly hemp rope gets along well.

But in fact, it doesn't seem to be the case.

With a mouth of "seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts when they see them", a hemp rope that has been mixed in the [Jianghu Society] for many years was quickly appreciated by Kumagai Daisho.

And that's not all......

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the organization, the director of the bureau emphasized the training of his subordinates in martial arts, even if they were wounded

It is necessary to learn as many combat skills as possible within the range of limbs, so as not to be attacked by the enemy, and not even have the strength to protect themselves.

The art of war they practiced was the [Shingong Stream] learned by Yi Ma Cheng and others more than 20 years ago in the Nizi family's strongest combat unit, the [Shingong Party].

This art of war does not pay much attention to moves and techniques, and takes the practical route, focusing only on strength and explosiveness.

In a word, these East

West isn't very pretty, but it's great for killing.

Because the Ichichi group was currently stationed with the Kumagai Army, Kumagai Motonao quickly noticed their training.

As we all know, the noble-born Young Master Kumagai doesn't look down on these crude martial arts, including a hemp rope himself.

But......

I don't know why, but the truth turned out to be the complete opposite.

He actually asked the director of the bureau with great interest about the characteristics and skills of these martial arts.

It turned out that when he was on the mountain, Master Kumagai suffered many losses from the Yamazaki Rangers from the country, and the other party's way out of the gloves was something he had never seen before.

Naturally, Young Master Kumagai would not think that the defeat was his reason————

That's because the way they shot was so despicable...... If I can understand their [despicable] tactics, how can I not win?

That's what Master Kumagai thought.

Seeing that people wanted to learn, there was no way, so I had to teach a hemp rope.

If you want to learn, you need to have a weapon.

As for this aspect, the eldest young master originally wanted to continue to use his own sword, but was vetoed by a bureau chief.

For him, he chose a heavy combat knife that can slash and kill with great pleasure, that is, the fighting knife used by the bannermen. A bureau chief has been immersed in martial arts for many years, and his sword skills are exquisite, and he has won the essence of [Daodao].

He taught Kumagai Motonao's swordsmanship, which was full of wide-ranging, extremely powerful moves, which were suitable for fighting the enemy on the battlefield.

And Kumagai Motonao suffered the anger of the enemy some time ago, and was suffocated to death, and there happened to be an evil fire that had nowhere to vent, and he taught this wide open knife technique, such as a treasure, throwing off the knife that he didn't like originally, swinging and slashing in the wilderness, and venting the depression in his heart.

It also had a miraculous effect, and the depression in my heart was greatly reduced.

Not only that, but he also felt that his martial arts skills had indeed improved greatly. Seeing the effect, Naobu Kumagai was pleasantly surprised.

Boy! This thing really has two hits!

Every day at dusk, when the pursuit of the enemy is over and the march is stopped, the other soldiers have to be busy setting up camp, and he is given preferential treatment as a general, so naturally he does not have to do hard work.

So he rushed out of the camp and watched the old trees cut down in the wilderness, and I don't know how many innocent trees were cut down.

Gradually, the soldiers in the barracks also knew that there was a crazy general in the barracks, and whenever he rushed out of the barracks, the soldiers in charge of cooking followed behind, picked up the branches he had cut off and used them as firewood, and praised him for his tireless efforts to chop firewood for the army (I didn't know what to say at all)...... After Kumagai Motonao dealt with the big and small affairs in the barracks every day, he had to shoot the horse out of the camp and follow a bureau

The knife technique taught by the chief was desperately cutting down trees, and he had to cut them until midnight before returning to rest.

Because I was so tired, I fell asleep when I went back, and I was free from insomnia.

In addition to practicing sword skills, he also had to take the time to ask for a hemp rope to ask for experience in fighting with [inferior people], and he didn't want to suffer again.

Over the past few days, his body has lost a lot of weight, but his sword skills have become more and more mature, and his eyes have become sharper, and he has gradually become a samurai.

The director of the first bureau was greatly relieved to see his changes————

I didn't expect this gentleman to play with a knife like that.

He asked to see his entry.

So Kumagai Motozhi asked some soldiers to set up wooden figures in the wilderness for their own use in swordsmanship.

Not only that, but he also asked the samurai around him to practice this art of war.

Originally, this method was intended to be extended to the entire army, but it was opposed by the clansmen, because the art of war of the whole army has been passed down from the Kumagai family for several generations, so how can it be easily changed? ……

[Yamazaki-sama.] 】

[It's Kimura-sama, what's wrong? 】

Yamazaki, as the general of the Einsatzgruppen, is deploying a formation in the main formation, and he has already contacted the base camp, and Hosokawa Fujitaka has instructed him————

The plan to lure the enemy was almost done, and the Kumagai Army had moved away from Omori Castle, the stronghold of the Maori Army, and now was the best chance to annihilate them.

Yamazaki Nagatoku and a group of officers and soldiers have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the Kumagai Army in the past few days suddenly became [steady] and no longer rushed forward as before.

That's not going to work!

The number of the Einsatzgruppen was less than that of the Kumagai Army, and a head-on confrontation was completely unrealistic, so the only way to do so was to use ambush tactics.

But now they don't move......

[The scouts have returned, and Kumagaya's army has now arrived in Nonohara!] 】

(Nonohara is the town of Nonohara in the western part of today's Shimane Prefecture, Japan, and is not a fictional place name)

【Yo West!】 It's finally time for war, and as long as it's in the plains, the slow mobility of the rat-like Kumagai Army won't be difficult to deal with! 】

Finally, one day, Yamazaki Nagatoku, dressed in shining armor, rode in front of the Einsatzgruppen and spoke loudly to them————

I'm going to fight the enemy today, and you guys cheer me up!

A group of soldiers had been waiting for this day for a long time, and everyone had long been annoyed by the people of Kumagai.

They were all full of blood, roaring loudly, shouting that they would kill all their enemies.

The battle soon began in Nonohara.

At the beginning, in addition to the 100 direct infantry sent to Yamazaki Nagatoku, there was also a small reserve that was planned to march with Yamazaki Nagatoku's troops.

The commander of the reserve, Yasuda Sakubei, was ordered to accept orders from Yamazaki Nagatoku.

Form a [Group Army] and march north together, slowly crushing the Kumagai Army.

But in fact, the impatient Yasuda Sakubei was too young and eager to make a contribution.

He did not wait for Yamazaki Nagatoku to come to rendezvous, so he led more than 300 men and horses of his headquarters to advance north to meet the second reserve of the Kumagai Army, which was the vanguard of the Kumagai Army.

When Yamazaki Nagatoku, who was sitting in the camp, learned about it, he was furious and immediately sent someone to send a message to slow down and wait to attack the enemy with his own army.

Yasuda Sakubei, who received the order, reluctantly slowed down his march, but ————

This guy should be out of luck.

Because the place where he set out was relatively close to the front line, he finally encountered the enemy army in the plain before Yamazaki Nagatoku arrived, and a vigorous decisive battle began!

On the battlefield, the wind was fierce and the sky was full of wind and snow.

The samurai of the two armies fought fiercely on the battlefield, and the sound of blade collision and wounded screams rang out everywhere, shaking the four fields.

Kumagai, the commander of the Second Army of the Kumagai Army, stood on horseback in the middle army, looking at the long battle line in front of him from a distance, and did not speak with a cold face.

Kumagai is a burly man, with a huge body and a tiger's back, and he is a rare member of the Kumagai Army.

He was the oldest person in this army, the cousin of Nobunao Kumagai, and he and his brother participated in the Battle of Aritaka Ide known as the Battle of Barrel Te in Kansai (no, according to the historical axis, the Battle of Aritanaka Ide preceded the Battle of Barrel Narrowma by many years, and the Battle of Barrel Narrowma should be called the Battle of Aritanaka Ide in Kanto...... ）

The samurai behind him was also a fierce figure, full of murderous aura.

Beside him, a member of the team planned to fight the horse, looked ahead from afar, frowned and said with a flattering smile:

[Lord Qinzhi, it seems that the victory of our army has been decided! ] 】

How so? 】

Tiger Shogun Kumagai asked in a calm tone that didn't match his rough appearance.

[Yasuda Sakubei is just a child! has courage and no strategy, and leads his subordinates purely by the residual power of the family's predecessors...... Now that he knows that our army is strong, and he still forces his subordinates to attack, it means that he must not be fully prepared, how can he not be defeated?

Our army numbered more than 500 men, the enemy had only 300, and the left flank of the defense was already crumbling.

As long as we send out our reserves and increase the pressure on the enemy's left flank, their left flank will collapse in one fell swoop, and then we will have to slaughter it! 】

Needless to say, this obscene staff officer is Hiroma Kumagai.

It seems that he is not a complete wine bag and rice bag, and he still has an understanding of military affairs.

Kumagai was silent, and under the persuasion of Kumagai Hiroma, he finally ordered:

[Reserve attack, attack the enemy's left flank with all your might!] 】

As soon as the military order was given, more than 100 Kumagai samurai rushed out of the military formation and rushed forward!

The armies of both camps rushed across the land, broke through the areas under their control, and with furious cries, rushed at the enemy troops in front of them, brandishing swords and spears, and slammed their hearts and souls at the enemy.

Suddenly, the mournful shouts and fierce fighting resounded on the left flank of Yasuda's guards.

The soldiers of the Yasuda Army, who were already exhausted from fighting, were suddenly joined to the battlefield by this new force, and their morale fell greatly.

Those wolf-like warriors rushed into the formation, let go and slashed and killed, and were killed countless times in an instant.

The left flank defense, which had already supported the huge pressure, was suddenly loosened.

The leading general roared loudly and led his subordinates to counterattack, and countless soldiers rushed forward after him, but they couldn't resist the enemy's fierce offensive.

A large number of hot-blooded men fell on the territory of a foreign land, shedding their last drop of blood in order to realize their dream of being a samurai.

Under the banner of the Chinese army in the distance, Yasuda Zuobei, whose face was covered with sweat, looked at this from afar, his face changed greatly, and he ordered loudly:

[Reserves, hurry up, can't let them break through the left flank defense! ] 】

After receiving the order, the subordinate generals immediately led the army to rush up, and together with the original soldiers on the left flank, they resisted the enemy's powerful attack, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and I don't know how many brave samurai fell in the battle, and blood stained the snow-white land of Nonohara.

In the camp of the Kumagai army, Kumagai himself had a sharp glint in his eyes, and shouted orders to his subordinates, ordering them to increase their attacks again, and the enemy army on the left flank could not hold on for long!

In the vast wilderness, the two armies opened a long front and fought a brutal and fierce battle.

The samurai fought to the death, not knowing where their souls would go.

Seeing that the form of the left wing was becoming more and more severe, Yasuda Sakubei's face gradually turned pale.

The people who can be used in the hands have already been used, and they still can't resist the powerful offensive of the enemy, is it really going to be defeated here today?

Now, he really began to regret a little, he should not have rushed to attack, if the enemy broke through the left flank, his army's defense line would collapse completely, and he would be defeated and lost, and there would be no room for turning over.

His gaze involuntarily looked into the distance.

Yamazaki Nagatoku once said that he would lead the samurai to help, but he hated that he shouldn't have marched so quickly.

If you can wait for him to attack together, of course, you will be more sure of defeating the enemy.

But now, the world is vast, where is Yamazaki Nagatoku?

When he arrived, would he still be alive and would be able to live between heaven and earth?

People are like this, and they only know regret when they suffer a loss.

It was as if the gods and Buddhas heard his prayers, and in the rear of the enemy army, suddenly smoke and dust rose and soared into the sky!

Yasuda's eyes widened for a moment, looking at the smoke and dust over there, and his heart was excited:

Is it the enemy's reinforcements, or the long-awaited Yamazaki Nagatoku?

At this time, in the camp of the Kumagai Army, the commander of the Kumagai Pro-Nao Army had also noticed the smoke and dust in the rear————

Not good! The main force of the enemy is coming!

Immediately give the order and prepare all the troops around you to fight and watch out for enemy attacks from the rear!

But this order was given at this time, and it was already a little late.

The Kansai samurai who invaded the Yamazaki army clearly saw that in their rear, a very imposing army had appeared on the horizon!

The samurai stepped on the ground with weapons in their hands and flags on their backs, shaking the ground and trembling.

[Rescue Yasuda-sama!] 】

[Yasuda-sama can't be defeated!] 】

[Kill all enemies!] 】

Amid the roar of footsteps, a large number of sturdy samurai marched like arrows, galloping towards the direction of the battlefield!

In front of them, a middle-aged military general brandished a glittering sword and led the team to gallop over.

Today, he wears a set of dark yellow armor, which shines in the sunlight and shines with gold and brilliance.

The armor is well-made, sturdy and beautiful, and it is the handiwork of a famous craftsman in Kyoto.

The Tai Dao in his hand was cold and cold, and it was obviously also a famous knife.

But none of this could match the fierce murderous aura in his bloodshot eyes, and the soldiers of the Kumagai Army couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the violent murderous intent that filled his body, and their momentum dropped greatly————

It's scary! This old guy is a human or a ghost!

Kumagai held back the horror in his heart and shouted loudly:

[Listen, everyone! In front of him is the general of the Yamazaki Rangers, Yamazaki Nagatoku, as long as he can be killed, the morale of the enemy army will definitely be greatly reduced, and our army will definitely win!

A person who wants fame and fortune and becomes a true samurai! Just come forward with me and swear to kill the thief general! 】

Hearing his furious roar, his faithful men shouted in unison, followed their leader, and charged at the galloping enemy.

The reinforcements of the Yamazaki army came in a rage, and they were all over the mountains, and it was impossible to see how many there were.

And by Kumagai's side, there were less than dozens of people left, and they bravely stepped forward to fight purely in one breath.

Because Kumagai knows that he has no way to retreat now, if he lets the enemy army rush to the battlefield and attack on both sides, his army will only be completely defeated!

[You! Hurry up and ask the Lord for help! The enemy's main force is now dispatched, and I can't deal with it alone, so let him come to reinforcements immediately. 】

Both armies rushed forward with an indomitable momentum, and the two iron streams collided together, bursting out with brilliant sparks in an instant!

Yamazaki Nagatoku led countless iron horsemen, galloped forward, and rushed into the enemy army in an instant, wielding a long sword, and slashing the enemy troops who rushed towards him to the ground one by one. The knife is so powerful that there is no one in front of him who can resist ten moves in front of him!

Not far from his side, Kor Caizo, who had just recovered from his injuries, held a five-foot-long long knife and followed the samurai of the Yamazaki army to rush forward and kill.

On his body, he still wears a plain armor, which is not too conspicuous and not very conspicuous in the army.

This time he went into battle to fight, and he asked Yamazaki Nagatoku himself.

Originally, Yamazaki Nagatoku didn't agree.

Are you kidding! Your own wounds aren't completely healed! You still want to go to the battlefield and kill people?!

And Ke'er Caizang didn't think so————

I've been saved twice by that guy Yasuda, TMD (and another foul mouth←_←)! The favor owed to him is too great, and this time it must be repaid!

So he has a hard time! I'm going to save him.

And Yamazaki Nagatoku was finally tossed by his nonsense and couldn't stand it, and allowed him to follow.

But having said that, he was not allowed to rush too far, so he could only fight at the guards with a knife.

In addition, Yamazaki Nagatoku watched the [Treasure Courtyard Flow] knife technique he demonstrated, and thought that he already had the power to protect himself on the battlefield, so he could be regarded as relieved.

However, in order to prevent accidents, he still sent some soldiers to protect him, so as not to accidentally die in the chaos of the young man who had just recovered from a serious illness.

At this time, the ten-member Qiben team beside Kor Caizang was the samurai who were sent to protect him.

They rushed forward, looking for enemies to kill, while carefully guarding Kerr's side to protect him from being harmed by the enemy.

Ke'er Caizang can't take care of them anymore.

His eyes looked ahead, looking at the enemy troops rushing wildly, and a wild and enthusiastic light appeared in his eyes!

That's the so-called [Killing Intent].

These days, I have eaten these 8 eggs, and the bitterness of the thieves and birds can finally be recovered with interest.

Although it was not the first time he had gone into battle, the fire that had accumulated in his heart these days had forced him to go crazy, and he just wanted to kill to vent some of the fire in his heart.

This is probably a common problem for samurai and soldiers————

After participating in the war for a long time, they will become fond of killing.

No one is born with a penchant for killing, it's not in nature, it's just that if you stay in this place where the smell of blood is very strong every day, your spirit will be greatly depressed.

In order to relieve this depression, killing people is the best option.

What's more, the samurai have heard of the exploits of their predecessors, which are all built on the pile of dead people, if they don't dare to kill people when they become samurai, hum, then what kind of samurai are they?

The enemy in front of him is getting closer and closer, and the one who can get close to him the fastest is naturally the enemy's light infantry.

Ke'er Caizang could even clearly see the vicious murderous intent in the eyes of the enemy forward soldiers.

Looking at the enemy not far away, Ke'er Caizang suddenly roared, and his whole body suddenly jumped forward, rushing forward at an extremely fast speed!

[Lady Kerr, wait for us!] 】

[Don't rush too fast, it's dangerous!] 】

The ten-man team that was responsible for protecting him was taken by surprise, and they all shouted in panic and desperately chased after him to keep him safe.

With his footsteps galloping like a fly, Ke'er galloped in front of the enemy officers and soldiers like lightning, and the heavy and sharp broadsword slashed down in the air.

The five-foot-long sword, with a terrible sound of the wind, slashed hard at the enemy's helmet!

The ten-man team watched in a panic————

The first time he swung his knife to kill the enemy after being injured, he was inevitably a little nervous, and this knife did not aim at the enemy's vital throat, but slashed into the sturdy iron helmet.

Doesn't this give the enemy a chance to fight back?!

Be careful!

But what the ten-man team didn't expect was ————

Ke'er just hid this knife It seemed to be a mistake, but once the fire accumulated in his heart burst out, the power was surprisingly great, causing the knife to be too heavy, and the steel knife was also extremely sharp, and he slashed it fiercely, and actually split the helmet made of iron in half!

That's not all.

The blade descended, splitting the enemy's skull through it, and blood and brains burst out.

Driven by the desire to fight, he galloped faster than anyone expected.

That looks like a sick person who has been injured and is just getting better?

The enemy soldier never expected that Ke'er Caizang would come so quickly, and before he could make a move, he had already chopped off his head, turned over and fell off his horse.

The ten-person team no longer dared to underestimate Ke'er's hiding————

What a powerful general, has he really been injured?

Seeing the enemy's head shattered and his face covered in blood falling, the appearance was extremely miserable, Ke'er couldn't help but be stunned, and his breath was suffocated————

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't scared or disgusted, but he used it too violently just now, and his body was a little unbearable.

Take advantage of this gap————

In an instant, another enemy general galloped over, raised his spear, and screamed madly and stabbed at the face door where Ke'er was hiding!

Because of a momentary loss of consciousness, at this time, Ke'er Caizang had no time to return the knife to resist, so he could only raise his eyes and glared at this enemy!

The power of mental anguish stabbed like a steel needle into the sight.

The enemy soldier was about to assassinate Ke'er with one shot, when suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and he suddenly had a sharp pain in his back, and he couldn't help but snort in pain, and the steel knife in his hand also shook, and he slashed to the side inexplicably.

The knife was so powerful that the enemy slashed into the air and tilted his body————

Ke'er Caizang took advantage of the situation and handed out the steel knife and dragged it around his neck.

【Boom————】

Suddenly, he cut his throat and watched as the blood on his neck splattered in the cold wind.

The officers and men of the Kumagai Army were shocked to see this pale [waste], who looked like a sick person, killing two fierce and brave soldiers in a row in the blink of an eye.

[What a great person! Who is he?! 】

[No matter who it is!] Kill him! Avenge Lord Nakata and Lord Swallow Village! 】

[That's right!] Kill him! There will be a reward for the generals! 】

But Ke'er hid her doubts for a long time————

This guy could have taken his own life, but why was the most critical time...... It turned out to be that kid!

Ke'er Caizang's expression stretched, because he saw Yasuda Zuobei, who was a dozen paces away and his face covered in blood, smiled at him.

Hum! I owe this guy a favor again!

But now is not the time to think about these things————

[Bastard! Come on! 】

Immediately, several enemies rushed towards this side, roaring loudly, and they vowed to kill this [waste] and avenge their comrades! At the same time, I also have a lot of fame and fortune!

At this time, the ten-person team responsible for protecting Ke'er Caizang had also arrived, stopped those enemies, raised their swords and fought fiercely, and the sound of blade collision was deafening.

The soldiers of the Yamazaki Army, who rushed up from behind, saw that [Bamboo Stick Caizang] was so brave, and killed two enemies in an instant.

They were greatly encouraged, and they roared loudly, and rushed into the enemy's formation, and their spears and swords were violently swung, slashing the enemy's samurai to pieces, and staining the snow with blood.

At this time, he was in the main formation of Nonohara————

Kumagai Motoji looked straight at the fierce battle in the distance.

[It's almost okay, Yamazaki has already dispatched the whole army, and he can't win against them with his uncle alone...... Looks like this is the best time to get rid of the damn Yamazaki Rangers, don't you think, Mr. Ichichi? 】

He now has a lot of trust in the head of the bureau.

[Well, as long as the adults are dispatched, then Yamazaki Nagatoku will definitely die! Adults will also have a lot of face in front of the Maori generals. 】

Kumagai Motonao liked to hear this the most, and he laughed out loud————

[Then borrow the good words of Mr., let's go!] 】

[Hi Yi! 】
