From this chapter onwards, let's honestly use punctuation, and don't use parentheses or anything.

Sitting in the east of the village, Hojo Shihui, who was in charge of intercepting the Oda army, was dumbfounded.

After destroying the two reserves one after another, the Oda army not only did not pause, but instead killed with a fierce spirit, a ruthless spirit that became more and more courageous, but it made the Hojo army, who was originally victorious, feel at a loss for a while, obviously his own side has the advantage, how can there be an illusion that the enemy is encircling and suppressing him?

In fact, as long as people are cornered, there is nothing they can't do! The Oda army is now thinking about how to kill people to break through, and the momentum is compelling, which makes the Hojo army who came up to the encirclement frightened, and they rushed up, wanting to organize the breakthrough of wise Kogoro and others, but their formation could not effectively curb the ravages of the "storm surge" in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, the originally neat formation was shattered!

"MD! That wise Kogoro called it 'Little Kenshin', I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be a bit humble...... It's not okay to deal with it seriously now! ”

More than ten years ago, Hojo Shihui once followed the Hojo clan (Hojo Shihui is often mistaken for the old name of the Hojo clan, but in fact, the Hojo clan did not change his name after changing his surname back to Hojo, the reason why there is an oolong with the same name is because of the mistaken name in the poetry collection "One Hundred Righteous Martyrs") to attack Sekijuku Castle, Uesugi Kenshin under Satake Yoshishige's repeated requests, sent troops to rescue, at that time the young Hojo Shihui's eyes, only saw, in front of the iron hooves of the galloping Uesugi army, In a hurry, the Hojo soldiers went to the seedlings under the sickle of the villagers, and the Echigo people passed the blade and did not leave a single grass. Even though Uesugi Kenshin retreated in the end due to Satake Yoshishige's improper cooperation, the Hojo Army was still severely hit, and Hojo Clan Teru also left a shadow on Uesugi Kenshin in his heart from then on.

Hojo clan Hui gritted his teeth and commanded the reserve to surround him, he is a descendant of Hojo, and he must not have any cowardice, even if the person in front of him is really Uesugi Kenshin resurrected, he will strangle him in this Aoi Mound Village!

"The brethren are all coming up with me! The general has already said that anyone who has received combat merits, even if they do not do it himself, but only assists their comrades, can be rewarded and become samurai! ”

"!!"

Oda Jun was already in high spirits, but now when he heard such a temptation, the blood in his body boiled in an instant, he had only heard that killing people could be rewarded, and now "sending assists" is also beneficial. And in the past, killing people didn't necessarily mean that you could become a samurai, it depends on the mood of those old men, but now as long as you participate in killing, you will definitely become a samurai, what could be more exciting than this?!!!

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Oda Army, the Hojo Army is no longer human, but with a small judgment of gold, as well as the "feeling" of turning over and becoming a master, their fighting spirit is further burned, and the urge to kill is completely uncontrollable!

In just a few moments, the Hojo Army, which had first engaged the Oda Army, completely collapsed. Hojo Shihui, who was in the center of the formation, hurriedly sent out more than a dozen generals and more than 30 banners around him, and led more than 3,000 soldiers and horses and 200 five-color cavalry to meet the attack.

Immediately, a scene that shocked Hojo Shihui even more appeared. His generals and banners were defeated by dozens of generals on the other side, and they disappeared into the sea of people in a blink of an eye, and although the people of Wusebei resisted for a while, they were also stabbed and dropped off their horses by the enemy one by one in only a few rounds, and suffered heavy losses.

In addition to the wise Kogoro, the Shibata family military generals were so powerful that the generals of the Hojo Army were shocked and inexplicable.

In particular, one of them wore a three-way red-dyed bag, wore a worldly foot equipment, and held a seven-foot-long horse gun. A fierce military general covered in blood, half of the seven or eight generals of the Hojo Army died at his hands. He rampaged through the army, catching and killing whom, and none of the Hojo Army dared to approach him.

"MD! Who's this guy?"

"Lord Hui, it's Sakuma Morimasa, the number one fierce general of the Shibata family."

"Oh...... It turned out to be him, and he really looked like a wild boar! ...... Go and prepare an iron cannon, if you can't kill him, just shoot him! ”

"Hi Yi !!"

Not to mention whether Sakuma Morimasa was killed by the enemy's iron cannon, the situation on the battlefield gradually changed with the powerful bullet pressure of Hojo Shihui!

Although the Hojo Army was shocked by the strength of the Oda Army's enemies, they fought endlessly with the Oda Army by virtue of their large numbers. The Oda army used cavalry as the main combat force, but the cavalry gradually exhausted the impact of the horses in the heavy charge, and finally mixed with the Hojo army. In this case, the superiority of the cavalry was greatly weakened.

"Damn! There are too many enemies! ”

If it weren't for the good material of the horsewhip in his hand, Wise Kogoro would definitely be able to tear it off alive, and it seemed that the vanguard troops of the Hojo clan were about to be defeated, but at this moment, the situation changed, and tens of thousands of Hojo troops from the murderous siege came to support. This made the wise Kogoro, who was originally expected to break through, fall into the quagmire again!

On the other hand, Hojo Shihui, this was his layout from the beginning, and the addition of tens of thousands of Hojo troops made the Oda army who were fighting feel a sudden increase in pressure. Just like two wrestlers who were playing sumo wrestling, they were about to push others to it, but as a result, others used a little ingenuity and strength, not only alleviating the crisis, but forcing themselves to a dead end, and the Hojo Army's numerical advantage at this time was further enhanced, and it began to gradually reverse the decline.

At the forefront of the battlefield, only the Oda Army's main camp Wise Kogoro has not yet joined the battle group, because the generals are too active, and no one knows how to take the lead, and Wise Kogoro has no chance to make a move, but he is also happy to be idle, so that he can devote most of his energy to the overall situation.

Wise Kogoro straddles the black wind horse with his feet and holds the "Ischimon Sozo" in his hand, as for the armor, because his "Black Knight's Armor" has been transported back to Azuchi Castle, so before this battle, Shibata Katsuri lent him the Shibata Katsuie's armament to wear, but Shibata Katsuya has a tiger's back and a tall figure, and he is a full big man, and the slightly thin Wise Kogoro is wearing a little ill-fitting, he is stroking the thick beard on his lips and chin, and looking at the battlefield with a solemn expression.

The situation on the battlefield is too much for Akechi Kogoro to be happier. Although the Oda army all fought hard like a chicken's blood, after all, the difference in strength was too great, and the courage of blood and blood was slowly overwhelmed by the gap in reality after all, half an hour ago, Wise Kogoro took the cavalry as the pioneer, and achieved considerable results, and even almost shook the encirclement of the Hojo Army, but after the convergence of the opponent's forces, not only was the advantage previously achieved not there, but there was also a faint risk of being surrounded again.

What to do? Since becoming the commander of the Oda family at the age of twenty, whether it is fighting with the Takeda family, or fighting with the Maori family and the Date family, Wise Kogoro has always had a smooth ride, even if there are occasional twists and turns, and in the end he can be suppressed by himself, but this time, he not only fell into the enemy's strategy and fell into the encirclement, but was suppressed by the other party in the breakthrough, and Wise Kogoro felt a little uncertain.

"Wise Kogoro-sama, Shimoda Castle Shimizu Yasuei has come to ask for your art of war!"

"Wise Lord! Kamakura Gunno Seki Seki Ishinomaki Yasukei has come to ask you for a lesson in the art of war! ”

Just as Akechi Kogoro was losing ground, the situation on the battlefield changed again. On each flank of the Hojo Army, large groups of men appeared, and they quickly copied them backwards, one team was Shimizu Yasuei, and the other team was Ishinomaki Yasuei, the name Shimizu Yasuei, wise Kogoro had heard of it, although Ishinomaki Yasuei hadn't heard much of it, but from the perspective that he could lead an army alone, he was not a simple person.

Wise Kogoro's Hagimoto guards surrounded him and didn't let the boss get hurt in the slightest.

But even so, Akechi Kogoro's heart was still clutched, and he knew that if he didn't take measures as soon as possible, himself, Sakuma Morimasa, Hara Nagayori and other generals, as well as the more than 10,000 Oda troops who were struggling to support in the encirclement, would most likely be completely suppressed, and then the entire army would be annihilated.

If by then, not only will they be defeated, but also the Kamirugawa and other territories will be regained and lost in the counterattack of the Hojo Army, and even ...... The Hojo Army will take this as an opportunity to attack the entire Ueno, just like the Kamirugawa battle between them and Takigawa Kazuki in history, and annex the entire Ueno!

“...... That's not going to work! If I caused such a big change because of my relationship and lost Ueno, even if I was the general's son-in-law, he would not let me go! ”

Thinking of the serious consequences of the whole incident, Wise Kogoro only felt a shudder, and then his brain became hot and his face became gloomy.

In any case, even if I put my life away today, I won't have any back! Because I am a wise Kogoro, the prime minister of Yunzhou, and the first minister in the future, I must not let this little Aoi mound become a stumbling block for me!

"Come on! Lao Tzu is a wise Kogoro, anyone who wants to be promoted and make a fortune, just come to me and ask for it! ”

A sense of pride burst out in the heart of Wise Kogoro, and he shouted loudly, separated the left and right people, and rushed forward.

Ishinomaki Yasukei was overjoyed, pushed away the left and right flags, and went head-on, thinking that this wise Kogoro would sit in the main camp and avoid the battle, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to run out! Isn't this just a self-defeating way, as long as the wise Kogoro is killed, the entire Oda army will be defeated because of the leaderless dragons, and your own side will win!

"None of you are allowed to shoot or fire arrows...... This guy is Nobunaga's son-in-law, and I'm going to take his life myself! If any of you dare to meddle, I will not spare you! ”

Ishinomaki Yasukei pointed the ether knife at Akechi Kogoro and said to his subordinates with a stern expression. Wise Kogoro is a "big guy", if he slaughtered him with his own hands, it would definitely be a great achievement, if he was killed by his own generals, although the credit is also on himself, but this component will definitely be inferior, the best way is to get this merit himself!
