045

"Young master!"

I stood in front of the array that had been arranged, standing still.

It's hard for me to discern what kind of psychology I'm in right now.

An hour ago, I didn't know that an enemy was coming, and my heart went up and down, turning the river and the sea.

And now, it has been determined that there will be news of the enemy.

Instead, I calmed down and calmed down.

The wind of the general?

I thought of what my wife Hirotashi had told me before, and I couldn't help but smile, a sixteen-year-old boy didn't look like a general in any way.

But now, I have a breezy look, and I do look like a veteran on the battlefield, and the soldiers around me also look confident when they see me like this.

At this moment, Maeda Keiji's voice came with a burst of footsteps.

I turned my head and saw that it was Keiji Maeda, and behind him, there was Keira and Hosokawa Tadashi.

"What's wrong?"

My heart tightened, could it be that something was going on in the area they were going to defend?

"Young master!"

Keiji Maeda took a breath and said eagerly:

"Please take off your armor and hand it over!"

Nani?

I was stunned.

"What are you going to do?"

"Young master, you are tall, and only Brother Keijiro is about the same as you in the army, please hand over the armor to him, and he will pretend to be your shadow warrior!"

Ke'er Caizang explained the reason.

I looked at Keiji Maeda's height of 1.8 meters and smiled, I was only 1.7 meters, a difference of nearly ten centimeters from him (but this is not very obvious in the eyes of Japanese people who are generally not tall), my armor, he may not be able to wear it.

Still, their words caught my attention.

"Shadow Warrior?"

"That's right, big brother!"

Hosokawa Tadahei said: "In this battle, our army is only half of the enemy's strength, and the enemy is all the elite cavalry of the Maori family, and there are fierce generals like Akai Naomasa...... And our army is surrounded by plains, which is suitable for cavalry...... It can be said that this battle is very dangerous, and it can even be said that it is a life and a death...... Big brother, you hurry up and exchange armor with Maeda-sama, and then I'll escort you to the front line to find your father-in-law! ”

"Wait!"

I finally understood their intentions.

"Are you telling me to leave the camp?"

My tone turned cold.

Among all the people present, Keiji Maeda had the highest emotional intelligence, and he immediately understood what I meant.

He hastened to explain:

"Young master, this is not for you to escape...... This is just for you to retreat temporarily, and retreat is also a strategy, so I'll pretend to be you and command the battle in your place......"

Keiji Maeda often discussed military strategy with me, and I had no doubts about his military capabilities.

But right now, I'm definitely not going to allow myself to get out of here.

If I stay here, it will undoubtedly be a great encouragement to the morale of the military.

And in the military formation, there is no one but me who can command the whole situation.

Maeda Keiji's ability is there, but with his prestige, he can't be called Matsuda, Yamazaki's gang of "old fritters", as a public wife Mu Hirotada may have this prestige, but his ability is not convincing.

The most important thing is that my father gave me a "death order": to defend my own position!

That's all, there's no other way.

"You don't have to say anything!"

I interrupted the three of them.

"No matter what, I won't leave!"

"Young master...... "They still want to persuade me again."

"Go back and guard your area!"

I shouted.

"Did you know that once the main battle is lost, the enemy will attack my father from behind, and then the army of nearly 10,000 will be surrounded by Isshiki and Maori, and that is a terrible situation!!"

This is the reason why I am reluctant to leave the camp, although my command ability is limited, but I would rather stop the enemy with my own hands than the "witty" Matsuda and others.

"So ......"

The three were very disappointed.

"Young master (big brother), take care of yourself."

"Well, let's go down!"

Seeing the backs of the three of them leaving, I smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I didn't think I'd be so brave......"

They are right, the disparity in strength between the two armies in this battle is indeed a life of nine deaths, even ...... There is no hope of surviving at all!

I haven't heard from that Akai Naomasa since he was banished by Hatano, and I can't imagine that he is ...... It's really impossible to fight a tiger and be bitten by a tiger......

He hated me to the core, and if I met him, this battle would basically be a dead end.

But then again, it's clear that the war is about to go, so why am I not nervous at all?

It's obviously a battle that will die, why am I as calm as a nobody?

It's obviously the most dangerous crossroads in my life, why am I ...... Why are you still smiling?

Then a gust of wind blew past me, and because of the wind, a few leaves were blown to my feet......

"Is it because I have long been aware of the leaves and know that sooner or later I will fall from the tree?"

I muttered to myself......

"What should I do?"

Wise Mitsuhide no longer has the vigor he had just now, and when he looked at the Isshiki Army that was still fighting with his own soldiers in the distance, he shouted, "Kill!" ”

The roar was hysterical, but there was a hint of irritation.

A violent momentum that was different from Akechi Mitsuhide's usual quiet and elegant spread from him, and the indifferent eyes, like a face covered by frost for ten thousand years, not only the Isshiki Army in the distance, but even the flag book that protected him beside him also felt a shudder.

Damn the Itshiki Army!

Why? Why is it that the Isshiki Army is obviously in decline, but it does not look like it is about to be defeated, and not only that, but it does not even look like a rout.

It is not surprising at all that the Isshiki Army is now only in an unfavorable situation, and has not even begun a partial rout, let alone a general defeat.

Akechi Mitsuhide's heart could no longer remain calm, and everything in front of him began to become less important to him, even if he annihilated all the enemies, it was nothing to him.

Even if the enemy is defeated here, it will only be a victorious "battle".

But if the position is occupied by the enemy, then ......

In that case, all of your retreat will be cut off, and once the enemy behind you joins forces with the Isshiki army in front of you and surrounds you, then everything will be over......

So, he must hurry back!

But the enemy in front of them has not been completely defeated by themselves, and if they hastily withdraw their troops, then they will immediately "come back to life".

So, he has no way back!

Damn, how could this happen?!

It's like being superglued here!

Akechi Mitsuhide took a deep breath.

Wait a minute!

Could it be that this is Isshiki's strategy of righteousness?

Then the army left the main camp and attacked the main camp.

Let the army be dragged to death by a group of peasant soldiers who are not high in combat but have the strength to fight.

In this way, you will be able to complete the battle of "encirclement"!

Yes, it must be, that's why he didn't appear in front of his eyes.

This old fellow, it's really not that simple!

Why don't you forcibly withdraw your troops now and return to your own position, and then make plans after your own formation is out of trouble?

He shook his head.

"No, I can't have that in mind...... Now that the Isshiki Army is not retreating, I can't get out of here, and I can't return to the main camp at all...... Everything has to count on Kogoro......"

But can you count on that son of yours?

Although I can proudly say that he is already very good compared to his peers...... But no matter how good he is, he is only a sixteen-year-old child, and he can't handle this kind of scene at all, and even ......

Thinking of the situation he feared the most, Akechi Mitsuhide's face turned pale.

However, just as Akechi Mitsuhide's heart continued to sink downward, the thunderous cry of Fujita Administration came from afar: "My lord, there is another army ahead!! ”

"What?"

Akechi Mitsuhide's face became whiter than white paper, and he stood up "Huo".

Is there another enemy to kill?

Now it is difficult for him to look at problems with a normal way of thinking, and his worry about someone and something has made him start to become a little "neurotic", and his judgment of things has begun to turn upside down.

By the way, when the Honnoji changed, he was like this!

The hysterical killing cries came from far and near, and the army of black oppression appeared outside the battlefield again.

"Lord!"

Fujita administration is a happy face,

"It's not an enemy, I can see the family crest clearly, it's His Royal Highness Niwa!!" ……

"Caizang, did you see that?"

Because in my arrangement, the defensive areas of Keiji Maeda and Kor Caizo are next to each other, so the two of them "work together".

At this time, the Maori main formation had appeared a mile away from the Chinese army camp, and the huge horse seal was tattooed with the family crest of the Akai family!

From the fact that the two armies are so close to each other, it can be deduced that

The base of the Wise Army has been broken, and the enemy has entered.

"Brother Keijiro, what are you referring to?"

Keer Caizang stabbed a Maori soldier in front of him, wiped the blood from his face, and asked.

"There......" Keiji Maeda pointed to the huge horse seal, "See, it's the Mori Honjin!" ”

"I've seen it for a long time...... Hey, Brother Keijiro, what are you going to do? ”

"I still have more than forty cavalry in my hands, where are you?"

"There are only more than fifty cavalry left in the cavalry assigned to me by the young master."

By the way, because of the fierce charge of the Maori cavalry, there are less than six hundred cavalry left in my hands.

"Well, that should add up to a hundred...... Caizang, how about we take the cavalry in our hands and attack the Maori army's main formation? ”

"What?"

Keer was shocked,

"Are you crazy?! The Maori Army's home formation is naturally protected by the most elite flags, and we are undoubtedly going to die if we go like this! ”

"So what do you say? Now in this battle situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if we continue to defend like this, it will be a matter of time before our army will be defeated! ”

"But the young master ......"

"The young master is not afraid of life and death, stay in this formation, are we afraid of death?"

“……”

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, we now use the rapid movement of the cavalry to sneak up on Maori's main formation, and if we are lucky, we may be able to kill Akai Naomasa, just like the Shinchoden did in the barrel narrow back then."

"But Akai Naomasa has seen you and me, how can he be as confused as Imagawa Yoshimoto? And you and I are no match for him......"

"Even so, we can create chaos in our Maori position, disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack, and even push the enemy back...... In a word, do you do it or not?!!! ”

"It's done!"

Ke'er Caizang gritted his teeth, "Death is death, if you can really repay the young master and the lord's kindness, then even if it is death, it is not a big deal!! ”
