18, out of the stone city battle (medium)

The situation of the troops in the front of the enemy was becoming more and more difficult, and although they had not yet collapsed, they suffered heavy casualties. Fierce shouts of killing were heard in the distance, and the dust on the ground dispersed into the air under the trampling of thousands of people. I picked up the binoculars and looked there, and the figure had become a blur, and I could still see the high flag and the tip of the gun held high in the back.

"What the hell does Yamana Yutoyo want to do, why is there no reinforcement yet?" I saw in the distance that the second line of Yamana's army and the troops of the main camp were not only not helping, but also showing signs of retreating, but the flags were not scattered and the formation was tight, and it seemed that there was really some hidden intention to lure the enemy.

"Your Highness don't be anxious...... "Gamo Fuxiu was relieved to see the gloom on my face." Yamana Yutoyo may want to lure our army to the foot of the stone city for a decisive battle, but he only occupies the geographical advantage, and there will be no more surprising tricks! Now that the left and right flank fronts of our army have been stabilized and have a slight upper hand, they do not dare to adjust their deployment too drastically, otherwise it will not be a joke to cause a shock on the whole front! ”

"You're right, but ...... It's not a matter that the main force of Yamana Yutoyo is hiding like this! "Now I'm not afraid that Yamana's father and son will have some tricks to turn the tables, but I'm worried that they will cause us unnecessary losses if they continue to stretch like this, and the time they agreed with Hanbei and Guangcheng is getting closer and closer, if Yamana's main force just keeps retreating...... At the thought of this, my brow furrowed more and more.

"Lord!" Nagano Yemori stepped forward and asked, "Please let me go up!" Yamana Yutaka didn't dare to retreat too quickly, as long as he defeated the walled house in one fell swoop, he couldn't move the 'old book'! ”

I shook my head. You can't use the reserves yet, otherwise you will use something to entangle Yamana's main force in a while!

"My lord, let me go!" Shinhachiro shouted, "Give me a hundred and ten cavalry, and promise that they will be crushed with a single charge!" ”

I shook my head anyway. Breaking through the enemy's front with only a small number of troops could scare Yamana and his son back completely. If they really make up their minds to cage the city, I still can't help it!

"Since the walled house can't be eaten for a while, then it's the same to defeat his flanks!" After thinking about it for a moment, I made up my mind. "Order Ikeda Tsuneko to pay attention to protecting Tsuda's iron artillery reserves, and shoot with all his might at the Yamana Mae army on the right flank, and completely crush them! At the same time, he ordered Gao Hu to advance to reinforce Shengmeng, and crushed the right flank of the Yamana army in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!" Several heralds mounted their horses and ran down the hill, and the crowd once again turned their nervous gaze to the battlefield.

Although the Yamana Army on the right flank had 2,000 men, it was not a main elite, and a large number of iron cannons suddenly fired from the Chinese front caused a great chaos. The number of the two armies of Shima Katsu Takeshi and Fujido Takatora reached a total of 1,000, and under the courage of Shima Katsu Takeshi, who was no longer deliberately suppressed, he quickly pounced on the Yamana army in front of him. As if a joke, these 2,000 people of Yamana's army quickly collapsed in less than a cup of tea, and they didn't even leave time for Yamana Yutoyo to help.

It could be seen that these were some peasant soldiers who had not received much training, and a large number of people threw down their weapons and fled in confusion, and even rushed directly to their rear team. Seeing this situation, the reserve team of the Midji Castle continued to be scattered as well, so I'm afraid he was worried about his exposed flanks at this time!

Through the binoculars, I could see that the flags in Yamana's main camp were waving frequently, and several troops were quickly moving forward, and in addition to an army of about 2,000 men on the right flank, Gakiya was also reinforced by 1,500 men.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Gamo Fuxiu said happily. "This time, Yamana Yutaka didn't dare to retreat anymore! Now he no longer has the advantage of numbers, and he must hold on hard, otherwise the whole line will collapse! ”

"I'll see if he can hide again!" I walked back to the Shuai and sat down on the marching horse. "Order Hidemasa Hori and Kazushi Nakamura on the left flank to advance and make up the battle line in the middle!" As I spoke, I took the cup of tea that Ah Xue brought up, and the tension just now made my throat a little astringent. "What do you think of the situation now?" I asked a few people around me.

"The defeat of the Yamana army has appeared, and the morale is quietly decreasing! Presumably, Yamana Yutoyo must be very anxious...... "Nagano Yemori said in a deep voice: "If I were Yamana Yutoyo, I would definitely step up the attack in order to boost the morale of the army, but it's hard to say where he would choose the breakthrough point!" ”

"That's what I thought too......" I nodded as I looked at a stone at my feet, thinking of the quickest way to end the fight.

"It was Toyonobu Yagi who continued to help the wall; Replacing the right flank was Teishunobu Otagaki...... "Gamo Fuhide reminded in a very soft voice on the side. "Now the reserve force that Yamana Yutaka can use is only the 1,000 cavalry of the Yamana clan!"

"1000 Foot Cavalry...... Infantry cavalry ......" silently read a few times, and my mind suddenly lit up. Yes! Most of San'in is a mountain country, and there are not many cavalry of various daimyos. However, the hundreds of light cavalry of the Yamana clan were all under the command of the Yamana clan, and in order for this force to be effective, it was necessary to have a place where it could be used, and the right flank was close to a forest. "Herald! Keer Caizang and Ikeda Hengxing gradually withdrew their troops, pretending to be invincible and retreating slowly! Tsuda ordered his men to pretend to flee and retreat to their own camp, and remember to let the other side see clearly! With that, I held up my binoculars to the front again.

"My lord! I'm ......," Nagano said.

"There you go!" I said but didn't look back. “…… Don't alarm the other party to approach slowly, wait for my command flag to attack again! ”

"Yes!" Nagano Yoshimori immediately turned around to mobilize his troops and horses, followed by the sound of the roaring pace of the queue as it moved.

I felt a little soreness in my waist and leaned back, and then I saw Shinhachiro, Gamo Fuxiu, and Ayuki all staring nervously ahead. "Ah Xue, what's wrong with you?" I noticed something unusual about her face.

"Nothing! Lord, I ......" Ah Xue seemed to want to hide it, but then her eyes drooped under my gaze. "I'm just worried about my lord, the guard force of the big camp seems to be ...... Seems too weak! ”

"Not really!" I smiled slightly, saying that although I was a samurai, I was a girl. "Now I still have 500 cavalry and infantry here, and in addition to the collapse of a reserve team, the Yamana family has basically been crippled! Now where do they still have the main force that can be used, Ah Xue, you have too much heart! ”

"I ......" she opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

"Miss Axue also has a certain point, it's better to end the battle as soon as possible!" Gamo Fuxiu said on the side.

"Look, Lord!" Shinhachiro suddenly pointed ahead and shouted excitedly.

Turning his head, a cavalry force of about 1,000 men of the Yamana clan quickly attacked the battlefield of the Chinese armies on both sides, and the cavalry increased its speed as if they wanted to pass through the flanks. "Give Changsheng a signal that he must join the battle line and stick to the troops of the Yamana clan!" He said to Shinhachiro, who was restless on the side: "You lead 400 guards cavalry over and eat this cavalry of Yamana!" ”

"Yes!" Shinhachiro shouted "Shura's Wrath" and rode into the saddle of "Nightmare".

The cavalry rushed down the hill with a large puff of smoke and dust, and Shinhachiro overtook one army after another. Finally! On the flank of the Ke'er Cai Reserve Team, the two cavalry came into contact and met, and a sword light and blood shadow followed.

My Guards cavalry ranged between light and heavy, wearing standard armor but no horse armor. Therefore, it surpasses the heavy cavalry in speed and flexibility, but the combat effectiveness is difficult to compare with the general light cavalry!

It was as if the waves had hit the rocks, and the mountain horsemen and horses had fallen over in groups, and the dust was thickened by the hoofs of the horses' hooves in the battle, and after a while I couldn't see it clearly, even with the help of a telescope! Suddenly, a whining and whining shout gradually came from the front, as if something big had happened!

"What's going on!" I asked a herald who was running up the hill with a rolling belt.

"Your Highness...... "His Royal Highness," he said in a hurried and excited tone, "Lord Zhuxing Kiyohiko has taken the Yamana clan government in front of the battle!" ”

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Pu Shengfu raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to speak. "After this, the morale of the enemy army will inevitably be completely lost, and the odds of winning this battle are already in hand!"

As if to verify his words, before I could answer, a terrible sound of a conch sounded from Yamana Yutoyo's main array. Yamana's army on all three fronts began to retreat, and some of the soldiers had already begun to flee.

"Want to run? It's too late! "I pulled out my pocket watch and looked at it, and it was 11:45. As I had hoped, three red fireworks were lit up at the head of the castle, and the ninja army led by Takenaka Hanbei and Kusunoki Mitsunari had already attacked the castle. "Order the whole army to attack and completely defeat the Yamana army, and those who resist will be killed!" I just felt arrogant for a while.

Perhaps sensing the impending destruction, Yamana Yutoyo reflexively came back, and only walked a short distance to meet the pursuing army, and the extremely tragic battle began under the Izushi Castle. But at this time, there were still more than 5,000 people in Yamana's army, and there were many diehards loyal to Yamana's clan, so I was afraid that the battle would not end for a while.

"Congratulations to Your Highness on the destruction of the Tajima Mountain Clan...... "Gamo Fuxiu said with a happy face: "Your Highness has gained another country, and now it can be said that it will affect the situation in the western country!" ”

"I'm afraid it's ......"

"Lord!" Before I could utter a humble word, I heard a cry that was out of tune. I looked back in amazement and saw two soldiers carrying a bloody ninja in front of me, with a feathered arrow stuck in his left chest. “3000…… 3000 enemy troops are coming! ”

"What?!" I grabbed him, and the shock multiplied my strength at the moment. "Who is it?!" I roared.

But the ninja couldn't say anything anymore, just pointed behind him and closed his eyes.

Looking in the direction of his finger, a large black dot appeared in my view over the mountains to the south. As I got closer, it gradually became clear that it was an army, but there was not a single horse seal, flag, or even a flag for thousands of people......
