At 4:30 a.m., I led the original crew out of Katsura Kawaguchi Castle again, but the only thing that changed was that Nagano was left with Yoshimasa due to age considerations, and Shima Katsutoshi, who was more suitable for fierce field battles.

"Phew!" As soon as I left the city, I grabbed my war horse and turned around and called the companion Changxin. "Let's keep an eye on the outposts at the intersections, and light the fireworks as soon as reinforcements pass through! The troops of the Miyoshi family put blue; The red color of the house; Other wealthy families put yellow! ”

"Yes!" The companion Changxin immediately went to set it up.

"Let's go!" I lightly tapped the three-way bone of the "gold" with the rod of the horsewhip. "Let's go and see how the general who rules the world is doing now!"

After some galloping, we came to a hill three miles away from Honnoji Temple. In winter, it was very late in the morning, and it was still dark at five o'clock in the morning, but whether it was the defenders on the wall of Honnoji Temple or the attacking Miyoshi troops, in order to facilitate the battle, they all set up huge pine lights and torches, and illuminated the direction up and down, and it was not difficult to see the situation there! On the other hand, we are so unnoticed that neither side of the fight notices us.

Miyoshi's army was charging at the gates of Honnoji in waves, and some were trying to climb over the wall, but it didn't seem to be going well. The giant tree that hit the gate was obviously a temporary substitute, not only not enough in size, but also carrying branches that had not been peeled clean, let alone wrapped in iron sheets! The snow on the ground also made the attack more difficult, and from time to time people fell on the way to attack.

The situation on the Ashikaga side is better! Honnoji Temple was originally a very influential Buddhist force, and the courtyard walls and gates were built extremely strong and tall, not far from a real castle. I know a little because I've lived in it, and although there are no monks anymore, there are still a surprising number of weapons in the storehouse inside. On the wall, there are many soldiers with "two leads and two" flags on their backs, who are constantly stretching their bows and arrows, and some are using spears to assassinate enemy soldiers who try to go up the wall. The disadvantage is that the number of iron cannons is scarce, only a few sporadic sounds, and the lethality of bows and arrows is limited, so there are not many corpses of the Miyoshi Army under the wall and by the door. Probably because of the continuous fighting, the defenders were already showing fatigue, and the shortcomings of the lack of numbers were being revealed.

"My lord! Are we on? Ke'er asked anxiously, and the war horse kept playing in circles.

"No hurry!" I soothed him, still keeping my eyes on the front. "Wait, wait for other news!"

No one else was talking when I said that.

"Mr. Mayinhull!" Looking at the battle situation in front of me, I suddenly remembered a question. "From your point of view, what are the odds of victory behind our direct attack on the Three Good Army?"

"The probability of victory is 100 percent!" He said confidently. "But...... Straight into the back of the enemy is not the best way! ”

"Oh! Why? "I didn't understand what he was saying. If 100 percent will win, why not the best thing to do? Isn't the classic best strategy behind the raid?

"Look over there!" He pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and everyone turned their heads with him. "Look! The Miyoshi army was surrounded by the outside of the wall, and the depth was actually not thick. Our troops rushed down so directly that they did not actually cause much damage, but wasted the effect of a surprise attack. Besides, if you go straight like this, you will immediately rush under the wall, and then the whole army will inevitably stop and turn your head, and as a cavalry, the effect of whether there is a high-speed impact force or not is absolutely incomparable! ”

"So what do you say?"

"Attack a little in the direction of the city walls!" He confidently said: "This can give the enemy the greatest damage; second, it can quickly disintegrate the enemy's offensive; In the end, it will also make the enemy army unclear about the reality of our army! ”

"Okay, that's it!" I nodded heavily and made up my mind. "Now it's just a matter of waiting for the signal...... as if a reminder from heaven, three yellow fireworks rose in the western sky, which should be the fork in the road I passed through, and at the same time a red fireworks also lit up in the east. Our army is attacking! "Reinforcements are already less than 10 miles, and they will arrive in half an hour at most, and I don't have any worries. By this time, the heavy snow had also stopped, and the 800 cavalry rushed down the slope, and the rolling horses' hooves splashed the ice slag like a mist.

With so much attention focused on the attacking target, very few people noticed the fireworks rising into the sky, and only a few people in the rear team saw the sight. While these people were puzzled, the cavalry of the brigade had already arrived at their side.

"Before and after! Arrow! "With the roar of Keiji Maeda, the cavalry team changed into two conical formations in the march, one in front and one in the rear, with Keiji Maeda, Kor Caizo, and Meinhull in the former formation, and Shima Katsutsu and Kusunoki Mitsunari guarding me tightly in the rear.

"Enemy attack!" A quick-reacting Miyoshi samurai shouted to command the soldiers who were in the back as a reserve, and a large group of spearmen began to turn in our direction. As the main force of the Miyoshi family, the combat effectiveness is really different, and there is no expected transition panic. It's just that because we are sprinting closer, the fight starts before they get ready.

"Hey!" Mainhull swung his scimitar and was the first to make contact with the enemy in the left forward position. Three spears stabbed at him at once, and he cut off two of them, while the third was in front of him. Sitting in the saddle, with a deft swing, he dodged the vital position with an extremely thrilling time difference, and with a thud the tip of the gun slashed a spark in his breastplate! Turning around and stabbing backhand, the soul of another Miyoshi soldier left his body.

The hastily organized Miyoshi forces were extremely limited in number and could not withstand this thunderous attack, and the number of casualties was climbing dramatically. Probably because the commander was not in this direction, the Miyoshi Army did not respond further, and the battle sequence began to be chaotic.

"Kill!" With a roar of the tiger that Ke'er had just hidden, he danced the crescent moon cross spear in his hand into a ring, and a little silver light flashed on the head of the spear. With the splash of these silver lights, the nearby Sanhao soldiers flew flesh and blood. Maybe it was because he had never had so much fun in the previous fight, or maybe it was his nature, and he was a little uncontrollable excited this time, and although I couldn't see his expression in the back, I could clearly see him gradually leaving the queue.

"This bastard! When what is he himself?! "I thought with hatred. But no matter what you say, you can't let him go, but he can't hear him from my position.

"I'm a samurai of the Miyoshi family, and Masataka Kurahara is also! Come by common name! At this moment, a burly samurai immediately appeared outside the ten zhang of Ke'er Caizang, he held a long sword and wore a Iyuzha purple carcass with a body, followed by five flags and more than thirty ashigaru, it seemed that he was a samurai of no low status.

"Ha, ha, ha......" Ke'er hid his smile in the sky, and the sudden appearance of the opponent made him even more excited. I am the star family, Ke'er is hidden! Come and get your head! Before the words fell, he had already urged the horse to kill Kurahara Masataka, and stabbed straight out with a shake of his hand.

Kurahara Masataka pushed the knife to shoot but it was also quite difficult, and when he returned the knife to counterattack, he was obviously missing a little bit of strength, at this time he suddenly kicked the mount's abdomen and accelerated forward, which could be done with the help of horsepower, and the second could be a little respite when the horse was borrowed. Ke'er Caizang didn't give him a chance, and slammed his horse sideways into Kurahara Masataka's side, while the retracting spear handle also poked at the opponent's horse's neck.

"Boom!" Kurahara Masataka's war horse couldn't stand the double blow and fell sideways to the ground. Kurahara Masataka was not prepared for this, and when he fell with the horse, the sword in his hand was also gone, and his right leg was crushed under the horse.

"Whoa!" Seeing that the Lord was in danger, the five banners rushed up together to save him. Ke'er Caizang naturally couldn't give up this "duck" to his mouth, and with a sweep of a gun, he beat a flag book to the side, and at the same time made him hit his companions.

"Ahh After Masataka Kurahara's scream, the tip of the spear leaked through his back, and the blood turned the snow red.

Bear in Winter: As a last resort, I have to say a few words today! There is a lot of truth in the big statement in the nap, and I also think that Oda Nobunaga in history was a man of great courage and brutality, and he tolerated several rebellions against his subordinates, at least I can't do it! But after thinking about it, I still did Nobunaga's suppression of the protagonist in the book, because if the protagonist YY is lucky, if there is no resistance that cannot be overcome, then this book will not be read! Second, if Oda Nobunaga gives the protagonist all cultivation and care, then how will the protagonist treat his offspring after him? I believe that no one wants the protagonist to be an ungrateful person!

I don't think there's anything wrong with writing about Xianzhi! If you embed the apocryphal characters in this book into real history, you will find that Xianzhi is much more educated than Ning Ning and Ah Song! Ning Ning's father and adoptive father were just low-level samurai who had been promoted from Ashigaru under the middle lord, not only did he not know much about education, but he also didn't send his daughter who was going to marry sooner or later to study, at best, it would be good to be able to recognize a few words! Ah Song's background is just a servant, so I won't talk about anything else. Their role when their husbands were low was only to strengthen the affinity within the family, and as for the later deeds, they were gradually cultivated after continuous upgrading. At this time in the book, they may not be much stronger than Xianzhi, at least the status of the protagonist is already higher than their husbands at this time, and the two ladies do not have much opportunity to get in touch with high-level political life at the moment! If I had to say who to learn from, then I would say - life itself is the best teacher! Senshiba only participated in the protagonist's political decisions three or four times in the future, but the significance to the protagonist is very significant, and in the end, you may think that she is not necessarily worse than Tokugawa Ieyasu!
