Chapter 60: Help Arrives
"Hold on! Get ready to break out! Maeda Toshiie's voice was fierce, and he had several knife marks on his body, and the reason why the long army phalanx had not collapsed now was entirely due to the Iron Artillery Department and him. If it weren't for the fact that he had been fending off the cavalry charge and the Iron Artillery Department controlling the follow-up cavalry, it was estimated that they would have been wiped out in less than an hour.
"The wind is blowing! Mitsuhide brings arrows! "Michizo Saito felt the breeze blowing in the sky, he had been under the protection of the Oda Army for a long time now, and now he had to step up!
Akechi Mitsuhide instantly understood Saito Michizo's thoughts, and he heard Michizo's words with his own ears, so he quickly rushed into the Oda army camp to ask Tengjiro for help.
"Kinoshita-kun, do you have any red oil rockets here?" Akechi Mitsuhide knew that none of the people here were easy to mess with, because even the generals they led were proficient in various art of war. The conversation between smart people and smart people is actually quite simple.
"The three major Dao people want to make a move? Go to the Iron Artillery Department, they may have it. "If the Lin Regiment is here, Guangxiu may be able to directly take the red oil rocket, but now the Oda Army basically does not carry a large number of bows and arrows to advance, and at this time, it depends on whether the centurion of the Lin Regiment brings it or not.
"It's so troublesome, why don't you bring an archer over to help!" Wise Mitsuhide was secretly angry. But I didn't want to say much, so I could only hurry up and find what Michizo Saito wanted.
"Brother, can you lend me your bow and arrows and red oil?" Akechi Mitsuhide found a soldier with a bow and arrow on his back. He had finished firing and retreated to the rear, loading the iron cannon.
"You're the one from Mino, what do you want a bow and arrows for? Look at your thin body, I guess I can't pull it. The centurion looked skeptical, and in his eyes he was wise and weak, and he didn't even have a little muscle to do with a bow and arrow.
"Brother, it's the three people of Saito Michi who want to borrow it." Akechi Mitsuhide is not angry, he is just a strategist, of course he will not go to the battlefield to fight, but he has just learned some sword ways for self-defense.
"The three great people of the Dao? That's it, I'll give it back when I'm done. "The centurion thought about it and lent it to him, because now he can't care about so much, and he is not afraid that they will attack suddenly, what is the use of a bow and arrow, the Mino soldiers they brought are now also standing on the front line, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, no matter how much he cares!
When Akechi Mitsuhide took the longbow, he immediately realized why the soldier said such words, he was not laughing at himself at all, this longbow alone weighed more than ten catties, many places were connected by iron structures, and there was an iron plate inlay in the center that looked like something for aiming. The bowstring is half the size of a thumb and looks like five or six ordinary bowstrings twisted together. It's really impossible for a person who doesn't have some strength to pull and move.
"My lord, here you are!" Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to know how Michizo Saito felt when he saw this longbow.
"Good bow!" Saito Michizo held the longbow in surprise, he took a cursory look at the bow and arrow in his hand, this thing is much better than their Mino configuration! Dao San took out the red oil, tore off the cloth at the corner of his clothes, took out a long arrow from the quiver, and looked closely, and there were barbs on the arrow.
The rag was wrapped around the arrowhead, and the shaft of the arrow was soaked in the bottle of red oil, and when the red oil had completely penetrated, Saito Michi's three bows were drawn, and Akechi Mitsuhide on the side lit the arrow in a sluggish face.
I saw Saito Michizo's muscles bulging high, pulling the entire bow and arrow to the moon, and the bowstring made a clicking sound as if to tell its power. The muscles on Daosan's body bulged explosively, and he only heard a "whoosh" An arrow carrying the flame flew quickly into the distance, shooting impartially at one tree, followed by another rocket on another tree. As time passed, Saito Michizo had already shot out nearly ten arrows, and those few were arranged in a strange shape, the flames ignited the leaves, and the flames began to spread from those trees in an instant, and what everyone didn't expect at this time was that the fire was actually burning towards the cavalry camp.
"Is this the power of Minon's fire?" Maeda Toshiie was so surprised that he trembled when he saw the burning fire, what a control ability he was to burn towards the enemy camp so accurately!
"Your Excellency, it's on fire!" Minong's cavalry trembled, this terrifying fire was released by Minong's most proficient person, this pressure was terrifying!
"Ahh Remove! Of course, the captain of the cavalry found out about this, and he panicked again, and his own simple things were disturbed by the fire. Unable to continue to weaken their forces, the captain planned to wear down the Oda army for a while, but this happened.
"Woo woo ......" The shrill horn sounded, and the cavalry instantly turned their horses and left the place immediately, and the infantry who were fighting with the thunder group heard this sound and immediately turned their heads and ran away from the thunder group, and the people who were fighting also lost their armor and fled for their lives.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, if this group of people continued to fight, it would be troublesome, and the Mine Regiment had not been able to clean up the remnants of the soldiers, so that it would be very difficult for the wounded soldiers and the Iron Artillery Department to solve the cavalry.
"Fix in situ and report on consumption and losses." Maeda Toshiya shook his arm, and in front of him was a small mountain, a mountain made of corpses!
"My lord, there are more than 100 wounded soldiers in the Thunder Regiment, 30 rounds of ammunition left in each person in the Iron Artillery Department of the Lin Regiment, and about 100 wounded soldiers in the long soldier phalanx. Now there are 300 people who are unable to go to war, and about 500 are slightly wounded. "The battle reports made Maeda Toshi's heart tighten, and there were more and more wounded soldiers! The only battle report of 1,900 enemies did not make Maeda Toshiya happy. What he wants is that his side will not die, but in this situation, it is a question of whether those seriously injured soldiers can survive! The consumption of military rations and war readiness supplies has become a huge problem.
"Once we're ready, let's move on." But is there any way to do it? No! Now even if you can't stay in any situation, once you stay, it will definitely make the battle situation even more miserable, and you must rush out when the Mino army is not ready.
The mighty soldiers continued their march towards Inuyama Castle. They won't hesitate any longer, because the enemy is right in front of them!
"This time it's a little tighter, let's continue from here, avoiding a little bit of sentry and ambush on the way." This time they didn't dare to continue the march so blatantly, there were too many wounded soldiers! It's so much that Maeda Toshiya can't accept it. Maybe it was right to choose a safe path at the beginning, but Maeda Toshiya doesn't regret it!
"Wait a minute! Stop! ”
The sun in the sky has been streaked into the sky, and its work is coming to an end, but it is a sign of something important. It's like the one that Akechi Mitsuhide found through a telescope.
"What's wrong? Mitsuhide-kun. Maeda Toshiya was puzzled, why did Akechi Mitsuhide shout to stop at this time? This is obviously about to leave Mino Mountain, could it be that he has found something?
"Li Jiajun, look at this. Over there! "Akechi Mitsuhide did find something, and there was a war more than three hundred meters away. This information is very important! Akechi Mitsuhide handed the telescope in his hand to Toshiya Maeda, and there was indeed a battle. In the distance is their old friend, the Mino Cavalry! And Maeda Toshiie, who fought with them, was more familiar, wearing blood-colored armor and holding many weapons! It's a ball of fire!
"The whole army marches due south! Immediately! Maeda Toshiie's tone was excited, this group of people is almost the most powerful combat corps in Owari Province, and their attack ability is on par with the defense of the mountain group!
"Hurry up! Speed up! "Others don't know, but Maeda Toshiya knows that this corps can basically eat the entire Mino cavalry!
"Li Jiajun, why are you moving towards them? Wouldn't it be better for them to fight, and we will go around from one side! Akechi Mitsuhide was puzzled, he was telling the truth, but he didn't know that one of the fighting sides was one of the Owari Xeon Regiments!
"Nope! Let's go! "Maeda Toshiya didn't bother to explain this to him, it was too troublesome!
"Really?" But the clever Mitsuhide guessed what he meant, if it was correct, it should be Owari's army, and when reinforcements came, he would definitely come over to help them.
Then the whole army instantly marched towards the border of Minong, which was fighting, and their movements were relatively fast, but they were still a little finished. When they arrived in a hurry, they saw that the fire regiment had wiped out the remaining cavalry of nearly 2,000 or so with more than 1,000 troops. The corpses on the ground, the scattered horses and the breezy soldiers told the Thunder Regiment how simple the battle was.
"Toshiie Maeda, do you know what you did wrong?" Guo Jia, who was riding on horseback, was slightly pale, still suffering from the sequelae of excessive blood loss.
"I know. But...... "Maeda Toshiya just wanted to say that he was worried about Guo Jia so he made this decision, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to interrupt him."
"No but! Your sentence brought me such a scene. How many wounded soldiers do you look at? If we hadn't come, would you have brought the Thunder Regiment to a point where the army was completely annihilated! "Every sentence of Guo Jia's words is the truth!
"Your Excellency, you are right! I'm willing to be punished! "Maeda Toshiie knows his mistake, and he is indeed like a man now!
"Punishment? Hum! Let's get out of here. You send out people to help the doctor care for the wounded! Don't lose time! "Guo Jia didn't plan to let the Maeda Toshiya suffer anything, after all, as a real general, he was injured by an arrow and caused his subordinates to worry that it was also a major mistake, this time to be reasonable, no one was wrong! I insist on adding a mistake, that is, Guo Jia, he is injured!
"Don't look at it, go and treat the wounded first." Guo Jia patted Maeda Toshiya on the shoulder and motioned for him to move faster. For them now, time is money and every second counts.
"There are about 5,000 or so troops gathered on the Mino border now. We set up camp here directly and repaired on the spot, and the wheals and the incoming regiments came over immediately. Guo Jia brought a piece of news that everyone could rest assured.
The next day, when the wheals arrived, they could swagger out of Mino.
