Chapter 446: Elite Duel (2)
"Kill!" Wasuka Masakatsu said loudly as he waved the sword in his hand. //*.*//
And as soon as he rushed to the front of the enemy and began to attack, the remaining forty ninjas also followed, Wasuka Masakatsu is not a brave and resourceless person, he knows that if he and his ninjas are directly in the middle of the enemy, then they will soon be pierced into a honeycomb by more than ten times the enemy, so although he is at war with the enemy, he always attacks on the outermost edge of the enemy, so that he only needs to pay attention to one side, otherwise, if he is surrounded by the enemy, no matter how strong his ninjutsu is, he will inevitably die.
He was not afraid of death, he was only afraid that because he failed to drag the enemy army, he would put the lord in danger.
And when the Matsunaga army saw that the ninjas who had been secretly attacking appeared one after another, they couldn't help but forget their mission, only to see that the Matsunaga army no longer continued to attack, but turned around and surrounded the ninja army led by Wasuka Masakatsu.
If this group of people was led by Matsunaga Hide, I am afraid that as soon as the army under his command changed direction, he would immediately stop it and continue to rush towards the Takayama clan, but this road of troops was led by the first fierce general of the Matsunaga family, Oka Kunitaka.
Oka Guogao, although more than brave, but this wisdom does not dare to be flattered, from the beginning of the attack just now, he was completely angered by the ninjas of the Takayama family, if it weren't for them, I am afraid that he would have killed in front of the Takayama clan and took it.
If the ninjas of the Takayama family continued to hide in the shadows, there was nothing he could do, but now that they had appeared, then Okakuni Taka had no intention of letting them go.
I saw him pull the stiff rope, turn his horse's head and rush towards the Takayama family ninja army, and ordered loudly: "Quickly surround this group of ninjas, don't let anyone go, hurry." ”
Wasuka Masakatsu did not panic after listening to the enemy's general's answer to such an order, but was very happy, as long as he could make the enemy focus all his attention on himself, then he would be equivalent to successfully dragging down his three-percent army In this way, the pressure on the lord's side will also be greatly reduced, and he is also confident that in this mountainous forest, it is impossible for the enemy to surround himself and others, he saw that the enemy was all coming towards him, and he did not fight hard with them, fighting and retreating, But the direction of his retreat was to the place where the enemy had come.
Oka Kunigaka was already red-eyed by now, completely unaware that the enemy was leading him away from the battlefield, and he was getting more and more irritated because the enemy never fought him head-on. //
"I am the general of the Matsunaga family, but someone dares to fight me."
If it is placed in normal times, Wasuka Masakatsu is so provoked by the enemy, although the other party has some reputation, but in the eyes of Wasuka Masakatsu, this person is by no means his opponent, if it is another time, he will definitely rush over to take this person However, now his main task is to drag the enemy, if he comes forward to fight with him, in case the other party takes advantage of the strength of the crowd, surround himself and the dozens of ninjas under his command, then leave his own people, it is impossible to hold on for too long, so he did not respond, Instead, he continued to fight and retreat as if he had not listened to Oka's challenge.
Oka Kuni, who was already angry, saw that the enemy actually took his words as the wind in his ears, so he began to become crazy, and he vowed to kill the person in front of him to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
And except for the one led by Wasuka Masakatsu, who successfully mobilized the army led by Oka Guotaka, the other two roads were not so lucky.
In particular, the eight hundred ashigaru led by Matsunaga Hide's relatives did not entangle with the Takayama ninja at all, and at the beginning, when the shuriken in the ninja's hand was not used up, they did not dare to move too fast, but as soon as the other party's shuriken was used up, Matsunaga Shu immediately ordered to speed up the pace, even if it was to pay some price for this, he would not hesitate to do it, as long as he could kill the Takayama clan, then even if he paid some price, he could bear it. …,
Seeing that the enemy had approached two or three hundred meters away, the retainers of the Takayama family, who were reorganizing the army, couldn't help but be anxious, and before the army was reorganized, they must not let the enemy rush over, at least until the iron cannon and the heavy vine bow and ashigaru were lined up before they could let the enemy go.
In addition, there is another way, that is, to leave the palace army to retreat immediately, everyone present found that the enemy is attacking from three sides, but there is no enemy behind, rather than fighting to the death with the enemy, it is better to retreat from here, and after preserving strength, it is not too late to avenge today.
Thinking of this, I saw Watanabe Shoutsuna walking quickly in front of the clan and said: "Lord, the enemy's army is several times stronger than our army, and according to the observation of his subordinates, there is no enemy attacking behind, so his subordinates are willing to ask the lord to lead the army to retreat from here, and the subordinates are willing to lead his subordinates as the palace army to block the enemy, and also ask the lord to decide."
At this time, Sanada Masayuki also came to the side of the clan and said: "My lord, my subordinates agree with Watanabe-sama's proposal, if my lord chooses to retreat, I can let the scimitar rider Ashigaru open the way in front to prevent the enemy from ambushing on that side, and my subordinates are willing to stay here to command, and ask my lord to prepare early." ”
After listening to this, the clan couldn't help but think, at this moment, you must not retreat, no matter whether the enemy is waiting for him in the back, even if there is no ambush army, if you retreat at this time, then how long can you stop with the number of elite armored horsemen, then not only Watanabe Shougang has no hope of survival, but the army under his command will definitely be wiped out, and this is the enemy's territory, if he runs out of the mountains like this, he will definitely be discovered by the enemy.
Therefore, even if you want to retreat, you must withstand this wave of the enemy's attack and retreat calmly, thinking of this, I only heard the clan said: "Don't say it, everyone will move to the high ground with me, and after repelling the enemy, it will not be too late to retreat." ”
After saying that, the clan clan ordered again: "Hanzo, Kutaro!" ”
I heard Watanabe Moritsuna and Hori Hidemasa hurriedly replied: "The subordinates (subordinates) are here." ”
"You two will each lead your men to block the enemy from the north and south, and you must not let the enemy attack close before the iron cannon and the heavy vine bow and foot light are arrayed!"
"Yes, please rest assured that your subordinates (subordinates) will live up to the trust of your lord." After saying that, the two of them did not wait for the army to line up, so they charged the enemy in a scattered formation.
Although there are only about 100 elite cavalry and scimitar cavalry, they have all been fighting with the clan for many years, and their elite level is not comparable to that of the new army led by Matsunaga Xiu.
As soon as the two armies fought, although there were few elite cavalry and scimitar cavalry, they temporarily had the upper hand, and there were dozens of ninjas to help in the battle, so the casualties of the Matsunaga army suddenly increased greatly, and in the face of this army, Matsunaga Shu and Takayama Yuzhao did not dare to leave the other party like just now and continue to advance, in the middle of the team, Matsunaga Xiu saw that the enemy was brave, especially the enemy general, the spear in his hand flew up and down, every time the spear was waved by him, there must be an elite under his command who was stabbed to the point, just a short moment, There were already four elites under him
If it was just like this, he wasn't worried, but after his subordinates saw his bravery and abnormality, he didn't dare to stride forward, and slowly retreated one after another, with this person, when would he be able to attack the front of the Gaoshan Clan, so he had to take it no matter what.
Maybe the enemy will see that the lord will be beheaded, and he will collapse because of this, so that there will be no one to stand in front of him, and the Gaoshan clan is also certain to die, thinking of this, I only heard him hurriedly say loudly: "Who wants to step forward and fight the enemy!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw a young warrior wearing green armor beside Matsunaga Shu speak, "My subordinates are willing to go." …,
"Okay, there will be a big reward after success, go ahead." Matsunaga Hidemi saw that Takayama was close to the right of the mouth, and couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, although Takayama was young, but this martial art was not bad, and the Kikuchi gun in his hand was even more practiced by him.
However, the people of the Matsunaga family can see that it may not take a few years for his bravery, at least in terms of gunnery to surpass Oka Kunigao, so although Takayama is the son of Takayama Yuzhao and his retainer, however, not long ago, Matsunaga Xiu still opened his mouth to ask Takayama Yuteru for someone, Takayama Yuteru saw that the lord was so fond of his son, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, with his son's ability, if he followed his side, it was completely buried talent, if he could be allowed to follow the lord's side, the future would be bright.
So after Matsunaga Xiu spoke, he agreed to the lord's request without hesitation, and Takayama Youjin has since become a direct minister under Matsunaga Xiu, and Takayama Youjin has no objection to this, and he can become a direct minister, so that there will be a better development.
After receiving the order, Takayama rushed out, pointed the spear in his hand at Watanabe Moritsuna, and said loudly: "I am the Matsunaga family's ashigaru general Takayama Youjin, you dare me to fight." ”
At this moment, Watanabe Shougang was on the rise, and suddenly heard that the enemy dared to challenge him, and he couldn't help but be furious, only to see that he hurriedly solved the enemy in front of him, and slapped his horse and approached the right side of the mountain, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you dare, since you are in a hurry to die, then I will fulfill you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, look at the tricks." After speaking, he saw Takayama right near and handed out a shot, however, although he had never fought with the samurai in front of him, but from the army under his command, Takayama right near to know the road, if the rumors are not bad, this person should be the general Watanabe Shougang under the command of the Takayama clan, although this person has not been famous for a long time, but the reputation is very big, especially the name of his spear Hanzo, in is even more knowing, no one knows, in the face of such a person, Takayama right near can not dare to have the slightest carelessness, otherwise, as long as there are few flaws exposed, Then I'm afraid that I will be more than lucky.
