425

The fierce fighting continued until noon the next day.

The Date army was caught off guard, and in addition to the fact that the car and horses were tired and did not get a good rest, they suffered a great loss in the battle.

Fujita Nobuyoshi's strategy of attacking the Date army in the dark of night also had a miraculous effect -- compared to the number of people killed in battle, there were not a few people who were burned to death, and many people's vision was seriously disturbed by the raging fire.

By noon, the Date army, which had been attacked by a sneak attack, was slaughtered in pieces, and there were less than one or two thousand of the 8,000 samurai left, and the defeat was basically decided.

【Lord! Lord! 】

At the critical juncture, the left-behind Zongxiao, who was a left-behind retainer, was surprisingly calm.

In the distance, the left-behind Zhengjing, who had just repelled a wave of enemies, stepped forward and replied sharply:

【Zong Xiao! How's it going over there? Is it still worth it? 】

Left-behind Zongxiao's expression was very ugly, and said:

[Where can I hold it?] Basically, I'm running out of people...... That's not the point, my lord, retreat now! I'll break it for you! 】

The left-behind political scene's face changed, and he asked:

[I'm gone, what about you?] 】

[You don't have to worry about this, go quickly, go quickly! 】

After the left-behind Zongxiao finished speaking, he used the whip in his hand to whip the horse stock of the war horse carrying the left-behind political scene, and the war horse was in pain, raised his head and neighed, shook off his four hooves and galloped forward.

The remaining Zhengjing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led more than 500 cavalry to the north.

[Stay in the political scene! Don't go! Taste the power of our Yangbei people! 】

Staying behind, Zongxiao greeted the Honjo cavalry swarming in front, took a deep breath, and then looked back at the few remaining Date troops behind him and shouted:

[Brothers who stayed at home, the time has come to serve the Lord, kill! ] 】

After roaring, the left-behind Zong Xiao immediately urged the war horse and resolutely rushed towards the swarming Yulin Guard.

[Kill! 】

The last remaining hundreds of Ida's remnants shouted and rushed forward.

However, the reality is cruel, the decisive counterattack of the left-behind Sotaka and hundreds of Date remnants did not stop the long army of Honjo, after a short confrontation, hundreds of Date soldiers were slaughtered, and the left-behind Sotaka was also physically exhausted after killing several Uesugi army cavalry in a row, and was cut down from the back by Honjo Fanchang!

The decisive counterattack of the remaining Zongxiao and hundreds of Date troops was like a pebble thrown into the surging river, and after splashing a small wave, it was instantly disillusioned.

However, the sacrifice of the remaining Sohyo and hundreds of Date troops was not without cost.

With the containment of the left-behind Zongxiao and hundreds of Date troops, the left-behind Zhengjing led five hundred elite cavalry to finally protect the outstanding encirclement, and fled back in embarrassment towards the road they came.

But how could Nobuyoshi Fujita miss such a good opportunity? Immediately joined forces with Honjo Fanchang, and chased and killed all the way with the butts of the remaining Zhengjing and the five hundred Date soldiers, and finally directly entered the center of the Date army!

By this time, the Uesugi army had gone crazy, completely crazy.

Everyone wants to be rewarded by Wise Kogoro, and some of them who have already made a few battles are not good to fall behind, hoping for more, because they fight harder!

[It seems that I won't be able to go back alive this time...... Forget it, the battle is like this, what face do I have to go to see the lord, forget it if I die! 】

Just when he was preparing to commit suicide by seppuku in the political scene, the voice of Munemi Shiraishi came:

[Don't panic if you stay behind! I'm here to help! 】

The savior is coming!

Although Shiraishi Munemi is only in his thirties, he has followed Date Masamune to fight in the east and west since a very early age, and he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but in the face of the Uesugi army that has been completely crazy, Shiraishi Munemi has not many ways, not to mention that the remaining Masashi is also seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown, and Shiraishi Munemi has no intention of fighting with Fujita Nobuyoshi and Honjo Shiro at all, but just wants to protect the remaining Masashi and escape from here as soon as possible.

After barely resisting for more than half an hour, Shiraishi Munemi ordered a retreat.

said that it was a retreat, but in fact it was an escape, and Shiraishi Muneshi only brought more than a thousand soldiers, and together with the retainers who stayed behind, he protected the political scene left behind, and only rushed towards the north.

The Date army was defeated and fled all the way, and the Uesugi army pursued and killed all the way, and before you knew it, the sky was already bright.

Looking at the defeated soldiers of Date who were rapidly moving away on the horizon, Fujita Nobuyoshi suddenly raised his right hand and shouted:

[No need to chase anymore.] 】

After a midnight fight, the physical strength of the Uesugi army has actually been overdrawn, and at this time it is completely supported by a breath of energy, once this gas is discharged, it will immediately become vulnerable, and at that time, if the Date army fights back, the Uesugi army is very likely to win and lose, then it will be very happy and sad.

Fujita Nobuyoshi knew that the remaining Masakai was actually only a small part of the Date army, and the lord Uesugi Jinghu was facing tens of thousands of Date troops, and since he had already eliminated the opponents behind him, he should immediately return to help.

Kakizaki Haruka's family, Honjo and Honjo stopped at the same time.

Kakizaki Harujia said with some regret:

[It's a pity that I still let the left-behind Zhengjing run. 】

Fujita Nobuyoshi Road:

[Although he failed to catch the left-behind political scene, he may not be able to survive with a few spears! 】

After finishing speaking, Fujita Nobuyoshi instructed Honjo Shiganaga again:

[Lord Honjo, assign brothers, clean up the battlefield, rest in place for an hour, have lunch, and return to the swamp! 】

[Know! 】

Honjo hurriedly went to clean the battlefield, except for the grain, grass, and ordnance, and the property of the dead Ita soldiers inevitably fell into the pockets of the Uesugi soldiers who were in charge of cleaning the battlefield.

He is tantamount to making a lot of money, and in this way, he can be regarded as repaying the favor of wise Kogoro......

When he saw Akechi Kogoro again, Honjo noticed that the latter had a sad face.

[Echizen Mamoru Lord, I'm glad that you won a big battle, but ......]

Wise Kogoro touched his head and said in a painful tone:

[I asked you to arrest the enemy's general, why do you want to tell others? Do you know that even Echigo-samaru now knows about this, and he just blamed me for hiding it from him and secretly discussing this kind of thing with his retainers, and it took me a long time to explain it to him. 】

[I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to boost morale, but I didn't expect to make such a big deal. Ha ha. 】

Honjo was a little ashamed, but it passed in a flash.

[Anyway, Mr. Wise, what are you going to do with this?] In our battle, there are more than 50 generals and generals who have been captured, and the number of rewards to be rewarded is definitely not small, what are you going to do? Why don't I lend you some money first? 】

[Forget it, you can't borrow much from me, I'll pay a part of it myself, and then ...... Borrow from Date Masamune's guy! 】

【Date Masamune? 】

[Let him take the money to ransom!] With so many people, even if he can not care, can the retainers in his hands not care? When the time comes, as long as his retainers make trouble, Date Masamune will have to pay for it. 】

[Haha, it turns out that you have already made arrangements for you, sir]

[By the way, since you have told me before that the left-behind political scene as the general has run away, then, have you caught any [fat sheep]? 】

[[Fat sheep] No, only three of them are shoguns, and the rest are ashigaru generals and group heads...... This is also something that can't be helped, all the samurai who have a little self-esteem are either killed on the battlefield, or they are self-terminated, that is, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and can't do it, are finally captured alive by us...... That's right! 】

He suddenly remembered something, put his hands in a row, and said with a happy face:

[I remember, Fujita-sama said that he caught a young but gorgeously dressed samurai, maybe it was some rising star of the Date family.] 】

[Rising star? 】

[Yes, Fujita-sama also told me before, saying that this little guy's helmet is very strange, you said that our ordinary samurai, the helmet worn, the front stand is either a family crest, or a text, and there is a [slanting moon], and a little more exaggerated is to decorate it with some fierce beasts such as tigers and dragons, but that guy, good guy, the front stand is a big centipede! 】

[Big centipede?! …… Are you sure you heard it right?! 】

Wise Kogoro's current expression is not too much to describe as [surprised], and he has already been faintly touched in his heart. Good guy, I casually caught one of the [Three Heroes of Date] in the future, this luck is too good!

[Of course, I heard it right, it's not unheard of before to use insects to make a front stand, but they are all unicorn fairies or ladybugs, I have lived for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen a centipede to make a front stand, I really don't know if that little ghost wants to be different, or does he want to use centipedes to scare people? 】……

When Wise Kogoro saw Itami, the latter was sitting on the ground with murderous spirit, with the virtue of "fierce dogs are infested, and no one should enter".

But even if it's really a fierce dog, it's impossible to pose any personal threat to Akekogoro now. Because the latter's martial arts cultivation is far above Ita's, if you want to really fight, Itashi is 100% the rhythm of seconds.

In addition, this gentleman's hands are still firmly tied by the Uesugi soldiers, and he is so congested and numb that he can't move, let alone beat people.

Wise Kogoro originally wanted to say a more positive and serious greeting to Ita, after all, the latter was a fairly famous fierce general in the eyes of later generations, and this kind of person was no joke.

But seeing his current appearance like a lost dog, he felt funny, so he leaked a mocking and teasing expression, and said:

[Welcome here, Lord Ida Togoro Narumi, I have long admired your reputation, and I feel fortunate to be able to meet you. 】
