Seeing everyone kneeling in unison, Date Huizong Furui Wubo's face finally had an expression.

Although he has abdicated for such a long time, it is a very gratifying thing to still be so loved, but this kind of relief is obviously outdated and superfluous for Date Huizong. As a father, Date Terumune hopes that his retainers can transfer their love for him to Date Masamune, and he is the real head of the Date family.

[Everyone get up, Zuo Yue, Bujin (Endo Kishin is actually a monk, and the number is [Bu Zhai ]), and all of you, get up, if you have anything to say, you can't talk about it......]

【Lord! If you don't grant our request, we'll be on our knees until we die!" 】

Date Terumune shook his head and said with a wry smile:

[I know everyone's thoughts, and I'll talk to Masamune when I get back, but please ......]

[Lord, the current situation is not useful for you to persuade you, only when you return to the position of the patriarch of the family can you solve the problem. 】

[Alas, I don't understand, I'm no longer the lord, why do you always ......]

[My lord, in our hearts, we have never forgotten your great cause. 】

[Alas, you're forcing me......] ......

In fact, Date Masamune's heart is so good.

He still insisted on fighting this battle even though he knew that the environment was not in his favor, and he had the psychology of gambling if he could win this battle. Then neither the financial crisis nor the crisis of trust in his retainers will cease to exist. Even his mother, who has always looked down on him, will re-examine his strength. Knowing that his son is not a one-eyed kid who can only talk big words.

But now it seems that all this is just a broken dream after all, the sudden appearance of the car suspension formation has left the Date army without any resistance, and the advantage of forces that was once held in his hands before has disappeared like smoke in the blink of an eye.

Date Masamune arrived at the front line of the battlefield and was heartbroken to see the Uesugi army constantly crushing his own soldiers, who were falling in droves.

Heartache. A sense of emptiness and loss also came to my heart.

I really failed this time, and the strength of the enemy is not something that I can experience.

It's not just that this battle was lost, I'm afraid...... His grand dream of unifying the world has also been shattered!

Date Masamune covered his blindfold, his expression was a little unnatural, he poked behind him and saw that the people standing behind him were all loyal to him. only to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then came an incomparable coldness.

The opportunities that I can rarely meet in this life, the opportunities to prove myself, and the opportunities that can make everyone look up to themselves have all been shattered!

Is it my life. Do you want to be looked down upon?

As mentioned earlier, Date Masamune was born with an extremely strong sense of inferiority because of his natural disability. This inferiority complex, under the indifference and affection of his mother. It becomes more difficult to control.

It wouldn't be much if Date Masamune was just a commoner, but he was the son of a daimyo family. And he is also the heir of the Date family, which has a long history. The combination of noble identity and inferiority psychology has become a more deformed psychology.

On the one hand, Date Masamune is extremely proud, or conceited, and he always looks arrogant in front of outsiders, looking like how great he is. But on the other hand, he is too sensitive, and as soon as his retainers talk about him in places he can't see, he thinks that everyone is laughing at his one-eyed and laughing at his ugliness.

Although this is not the case, it still causes great pain to the sensitive and suspicious Date Masamune, except for his father and master, as well as Katakura Kojuro and others, he does not trust everyone, he even suspects that everyone is belittling him, no matter how respectful the retainers are to him, he will think that under the well-dressed politeness of the courtiers, there is a grinning and presumptuous ridicule.

As soon as he thought of this, his pain and anxiety would be aggravated.

Why! Why don't all of you want to look me in the face?!

Why did Date Masamune want to seize the world, this is not only because of personal ambition, but also because he hopes that through the opportunity to command the world, his retainers will take a good look at it, and his one-eyed lord is not a waste.

Despite the fact that none of the retainers regarded him as a waste, and even the southern and northern wars along the way, and the continuous victories, made many people begin to believe that he, Date Masamune, is the one who can really lead the Date family to dominate the world, and the dreams of the Date family for generations will be realized in his hands, and he is the real master of Zhongxing.

If Date Masamune is a person with a normal mentality, then he can naturally see clearly that the retainers have already recognized his identity, even those old ministers, they just think that he lacks experience in governing the country, it is not that he has no talent, and if he can experience it well, he will become a great weapon in the future.

In other words, except for Date Masamune's own heart, the world around him is normal.

It's just that Date Masamune, who has low self-esteem and conceit, can't see all this clearly, and he still lives in his own world.

He had hoped to gain his strong but fragile pride by defeating Oda Nobunaga, but now it seemed that the defeat had blown away all his small demands.

What Date Masamune is thinking about now is not how to salvage the defeat of the army, but ...... How to make everyone stop laughing at himself who has been defeated, so that he didn't notice the situation on the battlefield.

Suddenly! He suddenly shouted:

"I'm going to kill you all!! 】

He rushed out.

That's right, as long as you win this battle and turn defeat into victory, won't your dignity be preserved!

Hahaha, how could I possibly lose? I'm the reincarnation of all the people of the sea......

Date Masamune is actually already a little insane.

【Lord! Wait for me! 】

[Everyone, keep up!] Protect the Lord! 】

The retainers and Qiben behind him hurriedly followed......

Many years later, when people talk about the Battle of Wuhai again in the summer of the 12th year of Tensho (1584), they will still sigh.

This battle brought Date Masamune back to the circle of Ooshu, and Oda Nobunaga himself did not personally rush to the battlefield. But his prestige was pushed by his retainer Akechi Kogoro. Reached a new level.

This is not only the defeat of the Date family, but also a blow to the entire Tohoku.

After this battle. The Kasai family, the Osaki family, and the Nanbu family, which were even more remote than the Date family, and even the Matsumae family, which was far away in Hokkaido (Hokkaido was called in the Meiji era, and it should have been called "Ezo" at that time), sent people to Beijing and presented Oda Nobunaga with gifts from Asaga.

In the shogunate, the Nankaido Legion, which was fighting hard in Shikoku, received a great infection from this victory, and its morale was greatly boosted.

Oda Nobunaga gained more than just prestige, later. He then took the opportunity of the Uesugi family to move eastward and completely controlled the situation in Hokuriku.

This was undoubtedly of great significance to the shogunate's ability to rule and control.

However, there was only one person who was not rewarded for all his efforts, and was almost executed by Oda Nobunaga shortly after, and although he was pardoned afterwards, he was still disgraced and dismissed. ended up in exile.

Wise Kogoro said more implicitly in "Wuzhou Kyogen" that if he was given another chance, he would definitely be in the battle that year. Make some changes, and maybe then things will be completely different.

What exactly is the [change] that Wise Kogoro wants to say. Go without saying.

But there were no ifs, although the battle of Mukai did not bring any material benefits to the wise Kogoro as the victorious side. But his fame increased infinitely, and people finally recognized him. He is a master of the art of war who is not inferior to his father, which has exerted a huge influence on his future opportunities.

That's all for later, let's talk about it for now......

Later military scholars commented that the Uesugi army staged the Battle of Kawanakajima more than 20 years ago on the open territory of Mukai, not far from the Shinano River.

The slight difference is that Takeda Shingen was the last resort to use the crane wing array to deal with the Uesugi army when the main force was all transferred away and there was no way at all, but today's Date Masamune, in the case of superior troops, rushed head-on and was killed by the Uesugi army.

The car suspension formation, this complex and simple formation, destroyed the dream of Takeda Shingen and Date Masamune, two famous generals, to seize the world.

The result is of course obvious, the Date Army Iron Cavalry with a large number of dead bodies once again proves that under the same number of cavalry from the frontal assault car hanging in the formation is looking for death, the tactics that Yamamoto Haryuki and Takeda Shingen could not crack back then, how can Date Masamune be clear today?

For this, Date Masamune paid not only the death of nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, but the crushing defeat of the entire battle.

In the event that several charges ended in failure, the morale of the entire Date Army plummeted. Seeing that the Date army on the opposite side was hit by the suspension of the Uesugi military vehicles, and the reserves began to retreat in a hurry, an indescribable hatred rose in the young Date Masamune's heart. His own troops were so easily defeated by the infantry of the Uesugi army, and he hated the Date army even more for its cowardly retreat.

But he knew very well that if he rearranged it even again today, the result would be just as miserable, unless he would retreat without a fight.

Seeing that the retainers who were samurai were so vulnerable to the guns of the Uesugi army. This made Date Masamune, who had believed in samurai etiquette since childhood, feel that his samurai dignity had suffered a heavy blow.

The physical body is so fragile in the face of death that even relying on the spiritual power of bushido cannot change this fact. Such thoughts kept appearing in his mind. It took only one day, just one day, for the Uesugi army's chariot to completely shatter Date Masamune's pride and self-confidence as a samurai.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Date Masamune finally couldn't help but take out his sword and shouted, and rushed into the enemy line with his own soldiers. he

Tatsumasamune's actions as a pioneer greatly boosted the morale of Date Army.

A large number of banners and retainers rushed towards the opposite camp like wild beasts, mercilessly slashing and killing their fellow Japanese.

Date Masamune, who wielded a long knife in the melee, was even more red-eyed, and his [Slanting Moon Arch Sun Helmet] was stained with blood.

He wants to prove his strength to the Uesugi army with bloody killings, and prove to the Uesugi army how strong the samurai spirit is.

They are not afraid of death, and they will not give each other life. However, Date Masamune always felt that the Uesugi army behind him was laughing at him. Laughing at how boring and powerless your actions are, laughing at your bushido spirit, it won't change the big picture at all.

He seemed to have seen the disdainful eyes of the Uesugi soldiers. Every time this scene came to his mind, the more frantically he slashed and slashed his opponents. Inferiority, unwillingness, and resentment were vented in the bloody killing by Date Masamune. (To be continued......)
