Chapter 686: Retreat
"Kill!" Hosokawa Ashigaru shouted, rushing towards the defensive fence of Kamisonoshi, which was no longer known as the first wave of the attack.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Iron cannons roar!
Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh Hosokawa Ashigaru fell in rows, and there seemed to be an impassable ditch in front of him, and dead bodies lay on the ground.
"Shoot!" There are also iron cannons on Benten Mountain, and the Hosokawa Ashigaru below is like a moth to a fire, and it is coming in a steady stream.
Poof! Two fell in front of Kitada Motogu, who was now with Kitada Masanari, under the cliff opposite Mount Benten, commanding the vanguard troops.
"Rush! Rush! Kitada Masanari was there constantly urging the passers-by to speed up the pace of attack, while Kitada Motogu frowned and stared at Shangniushi.
"Lord Kitada, the topographic map has been drawn." Stomp Tread... Hattori Hojun scurried from the front, his left arm flushed.
"Hattori-sama, are you injured?" Kitada Motogu asked with concern, he had been waiting for information from Things.
"Minor injury, it's not in the way, the next task has been completed, does Lord Kitada have anything else to order?" Hattori Yasutoshi tilted his head to look, it was from a lead bullet on the battlefield.
"Well, good! Zhengcheng! Pass the order! Retreat now! Kitada Motogu looked at the treacherous valley and gave the order to retreat.
"Lord... Lord... There was only a small fence ahead, and it only took a little more effort to break through. As... It's better to let your subordinates personally lead the team and ensure that you take the New Stone! "Kitada Masanari is unwilling, the battle has reached this point, and the retreat will not be wasted.
"Bastard! Do you dare to disobey the order! "Suddenly, Kitada Motogu put the "five carcasses of the house" on Zhengcheng's neck.
"No... The subordinates don't dare! The subordinates are going to give orders! I hope the lord will go first! Kitada Masanari's originally hot mind immediately sobered up, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his temples.
"Humph!" Kitada Motogu withdrew the sword that was pressing him, and shouted angrily, "Don't go yet!" ”
"Yes!" Kitada Masanari hurriedly received the order, and as soon as he turned around, he shouted at the herald: "Blow the conch!" Fall back! ”
Whining... The rallying trumpet sounded, echoing through the valley.
"Retreat! Fall back! "When the Hosokawa army received the order, they immediately retreated like a tide.
"The enemy is withdrawing! Shoot! Shoot! Two more rounds of baking! Don't let them get out of the valley easily! "Bentenzan is also pouring like crazy, frantically.
Bang bang! Boom! "Wow!" Three or four Hosokawa Ashigaru were blown up and flew on the spot.
"Ugh! Help me! Help me! "A Hosokawa ashigaru was lying on the ground, one of his legs was blown off. Stompe... Stompe... Two ashigaru ran by his side, one left and one right, dragging his shoulder armor and dragging him out, he was lucky... After all, in the Hosokawa family, there was never a time when the wounded were left on the battlefield.
Bang bang! Lead bullets were still being shot from time to time, and Kitada Motogu and the others lowered their heads and ran wildly out of the valley.
Stompe... Stompe... The Hosokawa army returned to Shimoinuishi, stepped on the ruins, and ran down the gable wall quickly, rushing back to the main camp.
Kitada Motogu and his party also arrived here, looked at the remaining half of the triple turret, Motogu waved his hand, and more than a dozen ashigaru ran into the ruins.
"Withdraw!" Kitada Motogu no longer kept a memory, and led the last group of people to withdraw from Shimonoshi, and the dozen or so ashigaru who went in also ran out and followed the large army.
Boom! Boom! There were several violent explosions, half of the triple oars shook violently, and the corner pillars were placed with explosives, and finally collapsed, splashing dust.
Although the Hosokawa army took Shimonoshi in this battle, it had no basis to defend, and with the vertical attack of Bentenzan, it had to be gained and lost, and gave up the garrison defense. In the battle of Yanouchi, the Hosokawa army suffered heavy losses, and the two sides were tied.
At this time, in the Hosokawa military tent, Hosokawa Nobumoto summoned the generals to discuss further tactics.
"In this battle, Yuan Gu won the next stone in just two days, which can be described as a great achievement, and he will be rewarded when he returns to the division in triumph." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at his eldest son gently and smiled faintly.
"Thank you, my lord! The minister is determined to serve the Lord's family wholeheartedly! Kitada Motogu respectfully knelt on the ground and thanked him, but he also felt guilty in his heart, in the battle for the valley of the upper new stone, the forward reserve team also suffered heavy casualties.
"The New York Stone has been gained and lost, but there is no way to do it. But... I heard that it has been recaptured by the Tsugawa army now, and is preparing to build a defensive fence? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked Masanobu Honda, who was standing on his side.
"Back to the lord, exactly." Honda Masanshin saluted and said respectfully.
"It seems... I want to fight a tug-of-war. This is not good, the enemy will defend our attack, and the loss of our army will be too great for a long time, which will be very disadvantageous. Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, turned his head, and looked at Inatomi Yunao.
"Youzhi, arrange the national collapse team and suppress the new stone for me."
"Yes! Please rest assured! The subordinates guaranteed non-stop shelling, so that they could not defend themselves at all! "Dao Fuyou went straight out to receive the order, and the sound was like a bell.
"No, no." Hosokawa Nobumoto waved his hand and said, "Those people are all cannon fodder sent by Tsugawa Soji, and they also have the meaning of consuming our cannonballs. So... You plan well, spacing out the artillery fire, not seeking to kill or kill, focus on demoralizing the other side, and make them understand that building defenses is completely futile, and that's it. ”
"Hmm... Be! The subordinates understood. Inafuyu thought about it and seemed to understand Hosokawa Nobumoto's intentions.
"Alright, next... Bao Jun! Let's talk about the situation! With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto stood up from the main seat and walked straight to the front of a simulated sand table, and all the generals also surrounded him.
"Lord, everyone, please see..."Hattori Yasutoshi pointed to the sand table with his baton and began to explain.
"This is the lower new stone, from here into a valley road of nearly two miles, at the end of which is a defensive fence position, on both sides of the high mountains and cliffs, the most prominent is Bentenzan Mountain." The baton in Hattori's hand roamed back and forth, and everyone's eyes followed.
"Today, I tried to attack, and the defenders of Kamiyushi used iron cannons to strike in three stages, and Bentenzan was also able to strike in a straight line. So... If you want to break through here, you must be mentally prepared for heavy losses. Hattori said this, looking at the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto.
"What is the name of this mountain opposite the Bentenzan Mountains?" Hosokawa Nobugen didn't pay attention to the Kamiyu Rock, but noticed this very special mountain.
"Back to the lord, this mountain is called Sword Tomb Mountain." Hattori replied respectfully.
"Sword Shrine Mountain? What a special name, what is the reason, there is no Tsugawa family's ambush army here? Hosokawa Nobumoto looked left and right at the shape of the mountain, which was as dense as a thorn.
