Chapter 568: Caught in a battle to the death
In the end, Hiroshima Castle still left 30,000 troops, as Fa Zheng said, if Hiroshima Castle is lost, then these soldiers will become lonely ghosts.
Placing Cao Ang in Hiroshima City, the generals of the Qingzhou Army were also more relieved. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if something goes wrong with Cao Ang, then they will have no way to explain to Cao Cao.
Cao Ang stood alone on the wall of Hiroshima Castle at this time, watching the army go away, with an indescribable loneliness on his face. It's not that he doesn't understand that Ye Mo's arrangement must be for his good, but he just doesn't want such a "good".
But alas, Hiroshima Castle is really an extremely important link, and Cao Ang really has no way to leave Hiroshima Castle and go to the place where the two armies fought.
Outside the camp of the island army, Oda Nobunaga and the others also forcibly rushed out of the exit defended by the vanguard army. Oda Nobunaga knew very well that the current situation had developed like this, so if they fled, they would definitely be caught up by Ye Mo and them.
Rather than being hunted to death, it is better to have a happy fight, and maybe you can fight a way out.
Lu Bu and the others saw that it was difficult to stop the breakthrough of the island army, so they did not force it. At this time, their role as pioneers has been completed very well.
At this time, there were only more than 40,000 soldiers left around Oda Nobunaga. More soldiers, after a shelling, fled from other places to the island nation's military camp. Maybe give Oda Nobunaga more time, he can get those soldiers back together, and it's clear that Hamo won't give him that time.
Before the army of Hiroshima City arrived, Ye Mo was accompanied by the vanguard army brought by Lu Bu. There were also just over 30,000 soldiers.
Although it seems now. The number of the Han army was less than the number of the army of the island nation. But Oda Nobunaga knew very well that he was doomed. This place is only twenty miles from Hiroshima Castle, and the earth-shattering artillery fire of Hiroshima Castle can definitely be heard. With Ye Mo's ability, it is impossible not to arrange any backhand.
Although Oda Nobunaga had known Ye Mo for a short time, the two had only met once. But Oda Nobunaga felt that it was impossible for Ye Mo to do things without any back-up.
Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the previous war, the small battlefields in the three regions. was stunned and was connected by Ye Mo. If it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's timely return, Oda Nobunaga and the others would have lost this war a long time ago.
"Ye Mojun, now that you have won, I am willing to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty and pay tribute every year." Oda Nobunaga walked in front of the army, and after we saw Ye Mo, he also shouted loudly at Ye Mo.
It's just that Oda Nobunaga doesn't speak the language of the Great Han, although Ye Mo can understand what Oda Nobunaga says, but the other soldiers don't understand. But. Looking at Oda Nobunaga's attitude, it seems that there is no malicious intent. So the vanguard army brought by Lu Bu was immediately confused.
Although Ye Mo understood Oda Nobunaga's words, Ye Mo would not believe that Oda Nobunaga was sincere. Even if Oda Nobunaga is really tired of fighting on the battlefield at the moment, what about in the future?
The golden finger in Oda Nobunaga's hand was always there, and this became Oda Nobunaga's original sin. It's like the generals of the Chinese dynasties, few of them can get a good death. Not because they are not faithful, but because they have the ability to rebel.
At this time, Ye Mo didn't want to say anything false. Now that the last battle is over, Oda Nobunaga should be given the utmost respect. Even if it's for the sake of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face.
"General Oda Nobunaga, what do you think you would do if it were me who is in a disadvantaged position now?" Ye Mo said this in the language of the Han Dynasty, and the matter of translation is naturally done by others.
And after listening to Ye Mo's words, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty also roughly guessed what Oda Nobunaga said before. After all, these soldiers are all elites, and there are countless battles of all sizes that have been fought in Dahan before.
After Oda Nobunaga listened to Ye Mo's reply, he was silent for a moment. But only for a moment, Oda Nobunaga smiled. Yes, if he had the upper hand in the big battle, it would be impossible to let Ye Mo go. In Oda Nobunaga's heart, Ye Mo was also a person who had the ability to stop his ambition to invade the Great Han.
"In that case, let's fight!" Since there was no possibility of peace talks, Oda Nobunaga also immediately stabilized his mind. It's just a war, so there's nothing to be afraid of!
The numbers of the two sides were close, and the formations of both sides were also set up at this time. The artillery of the island country has been blown up, and the artillery on the side of Dahan has also overheated the barrel after some bombardment. In the absence of other help, there is only a competition to see who is more elite on both sides, as well as the arrangement of the commanders.
All of a sudden, the two sides that were originally fighting fiercely consciously put up their own formations.
Although the Han army had the upper hand before, after all, the number of soldiers was still less than that of the island country. Moreover, Ye Mo also knew that there were still many elite people in the island army, and there were so many people, if they attacked strongly, they would definitely fall into defeat again.
Therefore, Ye Mo's purpose now is to waste time, and when the army of Hiroshima City arrives, then it will be when Ye Mo can breathe a sigh of relief.
On Oda Nobunaga's side, at this time he handed over the command to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. For Toyotomi Hideyoshi's trust, Oda Nobunaga has reached a point of incomprehension at this time.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi also did not disappoint Oda Nobunaga, and he took his remaining less than 2,000 personal soldiers to the forefront of the island army. Looking at the army of the Great Han, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not have the slightest discoloration in his eyes. At this time, he was like a pure soldier, doing what he was supposed to do.
On the side of the Han Dynasty, Ye Mo handed over the command of the army to Yu Ban's hands.
When Ye Mo asked Yu Ban to command the Great Han soldiers, Yu Ban even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations. Among the generals present, he was the most inconspicuous one, but Ye Mo called him instead.
Let Yu Ban command the Han soldiers, Ye Mo naturally has his own considerations. Although it is said that among all the generals, martial arts are the worst, even Ye Mo was greatly defeated by Ban. But it is undeniable that in terms of training and arranging troops, Yu Ban is the best at it.
Perhaps, Yu Ban can't arrange any powerful military formation. But for some military formations that soldiers often trained, no one could command better than Yu Ban.
Therefore, after receiving the order, Yu Ban just discharged an ordinary fish scale array, which still made Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the island country's side look solemn. In Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes, the fish scale array in front of him did not have the slightest loophole.
"Kill!"
Since you can't find a loophole, you can only kill it directly. If time is allowed to walk away like this, they will finally be able to find the loophole, and the army of Hiroshima Castle will also be killed. Moreover, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not willing to look for such a loophole, after all, he is just an undercover agent.
More than a thousand elites of the island country, under the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, killed the Han army so fearlessly. However, before these elite soldiers were killed in front of the Han army, they were the first to usher in a rain of arrows.
Yu Ban will not directly meet the big army of the island country, if this is the case, then why do you want him to put up a fish scale array. After the island army entered the firing range, Yu Ban would not save arrows. This thing, if you use it, you can use it, and if it plays a role anyway, it's not interesting to keep it as firewood.
Although the island army was drenched by a rain of arrows, it did not choose to retreat, but continued to rush towards the Han army.
After Ye Mo saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a smile on his lips. Fortunately, he chose to summon such a hero as Oda Nobunaga at that time, and then changed his name to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and sent him to Oda Nobunaga's side, and now it seems that the benefits are really many.
When the island army rushed outside the formation of the Han army, before these island soldiers hit the weapons in their hands on the shield, the fish scale array put out by the Han army suddenly stabbed out countless spears from the middle of the shield.
Oda Nobunaga watched from a distance, and although his teeth itched with hatred, he could only bite it to death.
However, the island army would not stop attacking because of this casualty, and Oda Nobunaga even sent all the samurai out. As long as he can defeat the Han soldiers in front of him, as long as he can capture Ye Mo alive, then Oda Nobunaga thinks that he still has a chance to make a comeback.
Oda Nobunaga wants to fight to the death, and Ye Mo will not retreat either. If it was because of the fierce attack of the island army, wouldn't it give Oda Nobunaga a chance to escape? At first, Oda Nobunaga would break through to this side, because Oda Nobunaga felt that he could quickly defeat the Han soldier in front of him.
At this time, Ye Mo thought that Oda Nobunaga should also think clearly about the current situation. As long as the Han army showed even the slightest sign of retreat, Oda Nobunaga would hide in the crowd and slip away. Ye Mo called a lot of good soldiers to stare at Oda Nobunaga at this time, and definitely didn't give him a chance to come again.
However, Ye Mo really guessed Oda Nobunaga's idea wrongly. Oda Nobunaga didn't think about escaping, he was never the kind of person who could hide in the mountains and develop slowly. Moreover, his golden finger does not allow him to be without the slightest capital.
However, this did not prevent Oda Nobunaga from ordering the army of the island nation to attack the Han army regardless of losses.
One side is attacking to the death, and the other side is defending to the death. At this point, the two sides were already in a battle to the death. (To be continued.) )
