Akashi Kei personally rode his horse back and forth in front of the first brigade, and shouted loudly: "Now, everyone obeys my orders, all raise their guns, as long as everyone fights in strict accordance with the 'Date Discipline' of the lord of the country, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated?" ”

The 'Date Drill Code' is a training code written by Date Masahiro for the Date Army's drills, and there are only two points emphasized in his drill code, one is to be loyal to the Date family, and the other is to abide by discipline. Every day before eating, we should recite the gift of Shaida Mashiro like a Christian, and every day at the exercise, a warden would lead everyone to shout the slogan of allegiance to Date Mashiro in front of the statue of Date Mashiro, and instill in the details the concept of loyalty to the Date family and loyalty to Date Mashiro. The second is to abide by discipline, no matter what kind of enemy you face, personal martial arts are not the most important promotion conditions in the Date Army, but learning and discipline are important conditions for promotion from a one-foot light to a low-level samurai.

Of course, it is not impossible to defeat such a legion, but it is a difficult thing to win easily on the frontal battlefield, Date Masahiro likes to fight with surprise soldiers, not because he doesn't want to fight in a dignified manner, but because he doesn't have a standing army for the frontal battlefield. The peasants can still be used in a good fight, but once they are oppressed by the enemy, they will collapse immediately, which makes Date Masaki have to use surprise, which gives Ouchi Yoshinaga and all the hostile forces who pay attention to him the illusion.

The whole brigade of 1,000 people let out a low roar, and the pikemen in the two rows in front took off the spears that had been resisting on their shoulders, holding the guns in both hands, the tips of which were obliquely pointed into the air. They waited quietly for the arrival of the Ouchi army, and at this distance, they could already clearly see the hideous faces of the Ouchi army running rapidly in front of them.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

Akashi Keijin clenched his fist and raised the sword in his hand. Pointing forward, he shouted: "Don't be nervous, just do the same as a drill, raise your gun, and stab forward!" Just when the general of the Ouchi army rushed in front of him, he broke off.

Moment. The two hundred pikemen in the front row immediately stepped forward, and at the same time the three spears stabbed forward fiercely. The sound of the spear breaking through the air was unusually sharp, tearing the sky in an instant, and the sound of the spear piercing into the human body was endless.

Blood splattered, and screams rang out one after another. Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Ouchi Army who rushed to the front were all stabbed with spears, and none of them were spared, and they were all killed in an instant. Akashi waved his arms again and shouted, "Put away the gun!" Spike! The orders of the captains of the various ashigaru teams in the battle formation kept preaching to the ears of the surrounding soldiers, and the pikemen once again recovered the spear and stabbed it out into the air to the left again, this time there were also hundreds of people who were injured, instantly disrupting the momentum of the Ouchi army's charge.

Ouchi Yoshinasheng pulled the reins. He had already rushed to the forefront, if he hadn't pulled the reins in time. The war horse raised its front legs and stood up, fortunately his horsemanship was very good, and he was not thrown off, but his cavalry was not so lucky, forty or fifty horsemen were stabbed to death on the spot in an instant among the three hundred horsemen, and more than a hundred horsemen threw off the war horse and were trampled under the feet of the soldiers who rushed up from behind. Not being able to get up is also a dead end. Ouchi Yoshicho was stunned and died like this.

Two or three hundred people, just hung up. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and the others next to Yoshinaga Ouchi also felt their scalps tingle. But they had already rushed down, and the front wanted to stop, but the ones behind didn't know what was happening in front of them, and they kept rushing forward, and with inertia, the team met the Date formation.

Countless Ouchi troops fell in front of the pikemen, unable to get up, and as time went by, there were more and more corpses in front of the military formation, and the speed of the Ouchi army's charge was no longer sharp, taking advantage of the vacancy, the pikemen in the second row were replaced.

Noyama Yoshichao saw that the first brigade had collided with the Ouchi army, and he ordered loudly: "The second brigade will meet the first brigade at any time, and the third brigade will move quickly to the flank. "With Noyama Masato's order, the 3rd Brigade began to turn and move in unison to the side.

For the thousand-strong brigade, moving quickly is a very good thing to test the neatness of the military formation, whether it is marching or moving the military formation, jogging is a very good method, walking in unison is not only the basic training subject of the 'Date Drill Code', but also the greatest magic weapon for implementing discipline.

Noyama Masachao looked at the orderly march, and the reverence in his heart for Date Masahiro was once again raised to a high position, which was already at the same level as those famous generals from ancient times to the present, and he thought to himself: "Maybe the Western Shogun will open a new shogunate, and it is not groundless." ”

These unrealistic ideas are obviously not something that should be thought about in the cruel battlefield, and he looked ahead, which has become a battlefield of slaughterhouses.

Ouchi Yoshicho saw that deserters began to appear, he pulled a horse, and saw that it was Hongzhong Takasu's sister-in-law, Hongzhong Takasu, this kid's mood is obviously not very good now, his face was pale with fright, his hands and feet kept trembling, Ouchi Yoshicho didn't care about punishing his courageless appearance, in fact, he was no better, and shouted loudly: "You, immediately go to Lotus Mountain City, and ask Su Du Longkang to immediately lead the army to raid from behind." ”

Hiroaka Takasu came back to his senses, looked at Ouchi Yoshicho in a daze, Ouchi Yoshicho roared again, and then woke up like a dream, and immediately rode his horse from the side and galloped in the direction of Lotus Mountain Castle, and gave orders to Lotus Mountain Castle.

Ouchi Yoshicho ordered loudly: "Chong, continue to rush to Lao Tzu, wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Lotus Mountain City, wait for the arrival of reinforcements." He didn't care about letting people know what he was going to do, he was cheering up loudly and trying to save the day, and now he could only hope that Sudu Longkang would show up.

Before Hongzhong Takasu knocked on the door, a large group of legions holding the banners of Snake Eyes, Flying Cranes, and Santoba poured down from Lotus Mountain City.

Hongzhong Takashi straddled the horse in despair, looking at dozens of hideous faces with greedy eyes around him, his heart was inexplicably sad, he didn't expect that Lotus Mountain City had already surrendered to Date Masaki and became Date Masaki's garrison, I am afraid that even Ouchi Yoshicho is still dreaming of attacking back and forth.

Just experienced a massacre, it was the Date Army that slaughtered the Ouchi Army, and now in the face of this group of wolf-like Date Army, it is obvious that Hiroaka Takao no longer has any hope of victory. Ishikawa Hissataka, Iga Hisaka, Suki Du Takayasu and others will not delay the movement of the army in front of one of his young generals, Ishikawa Hissataka ordered Shimizu Soji to take more than 30 ashigaru to take care of Hirochu Takasu, and then led the army to attack the rear army of the Ouchi Army.

Recalling that when he was ordered by his father to come to restore his life, Hiroka Takashi was still full of ambition. was full of spirit, and never thought that it would end up like this. Hirochu suddenly thought of his father, who served as the rear army, and of his old mother, who silently prayed for the safety of her husband and son at home.

Hiroaka let out a long sigh, despair enveloping him deeply, and shouted loudly, "Father, mother, the child is gone!" As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted. He took off his helmet and shouted to the Date Army who were coming around: "I am the general of the Ouchi clan, Kiyo and Genji Hirochu Takao, the son of Hongzhong Mikawa Moritakabo, as a samurai, how can I be greedy for life and fear death, come on, take my head away." ”

A lazy voice came in, "You see too much, right?" Do you want to be a monk at an early age? Come, do you want to dance a lucky dance, how to dance, oh, oh, fifty years of life, the world in an instant, floating like a dream. It's as if suddenly, a fantasy. The living are impermanent, and they must be exhausted. Tie it up for me. ”

Shimizu Soji's words seemed relaxed, but he was actually quite depressed, he was supposed to be with Date Masahiro, but he was obviously unwilling to sit in Kurahang Mountain Castle and watch his companions earn battle exploits, so he ran to Masahiro to ask for battle. So let him follow Ishikawa Hisataka to soldiers Lotus Mountain City.

Finally waited for the time to fight, Ishikawa Hisakashi casually handed over the task of disposing of Hirochu Takasu to him, and Shimizu Soji, who wanted to earn a lot of money, was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, and saw Hirochu Takao actually stage a realistic version of "Dunsheng" in front of him, and couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Between words. Shimizu Soji grabbed Hiroaka Takao's shoulders and dragged him to the ground like a dead dog, then grinned, showing Bai Sensen's teeth, and said hehehe: "Tie it up, follow me to see the lord, this is a good bargaining chip." ”

He suddenly thought that this young man's name was Hiroshi Takasu, and his father was Hiroka Takabo, hehe, what an interesting thing. Soji Shimizu's mood suddenly improved, and he slapped Hirochu Takasu's shoulder heavily, laughing.

Shimizu Soji was in a good mood, Ouchi Yoshinaga's mood could be said to be extremely low, he looked at the Date army gathered around, only the remaining Ouchi army had been surrounded in a small valley, surrounded by corpses, mostly the corpses of the Ouchi army.

The head of the Ouchi clan, Ouchi Yoshinaga, looked at the Date soldiers who came up around him and lamented in his heart, his horse had been shot and killed in the raid just now. Suddenly he jumped up and sang, "The world... Fifty years, compared with the eternity of the world, like a dream... Is there anyone who once lived... Immortal? Then he wanted to pick up the knife and commit suicide.

"Lord...... Woo woo...... "Miura Fangqing, who was seriously injured but had been holding his body with a spear, stood next to Ouchi Yoshinaga covered in blood, crying quietly, trying to stop Ouchi Yoshicho from committing suicide, but in the end he didn't even have the strength to scream, and watched Ouchi Yoshicho die in front of his eyes.

"Lord, let's break through!" Another person named Fang Qing brought a war horse that had been injured in the foot and walked over with his legs half-pulled, and the person arrived before the sound arrived, and as soon as the person arrived, he looked at the corpse of Ouchi Yoshinaga there, and cried with tears streaming down his face: "Why, why is this happening?" ”

"Echichu Mamoru how are you?" Yuanzhu Fangqing soon saw Miura Fangqing standing not far away, because the two have the same name, so they have always been in a relationship, and privately consider them righteous brothers, but now they are standing there with half-closed eyes without moving.

Miura Fangqing tried to open his eyes, turned his head and smiled miserably, and said softly: "Sado Mamoru I'm about to die, do you believe that Huiguang Zhaoma is now?" ”

Yuanzhu Fangqing half-pulled his legs and walked over to help Miura Fangqing and said, "Don't talk like this, don't talk like this, we still have to take the lord back to Yamaguchi Castle together, can you walk?" Break out with me, yes, break out. ”

Miura Fangqing half-pulled his head and said, "I think it's difficult to go, Mamoru Sado, can you do me a favor?" Help me take care of my family, my children, and get rid of them all to you, and when I return to Yamaguchi Castle, I will take them with me to Kyushu. ”

Yuan Zhufang nodded his head and said, "Okay, if I can get out alive, I will definitely help you take care of them." ”

"Thanks, I really don't want to die!" After Miura Fangqing finished saying the last word, he let go of the spear in his hand and staggered to the ground, looking at the clouds in the sky with his eyes open, his vision gradually blurred in the dull air, and he seemed to see an angel.

"I'm so tired, I really want to get a good night's sleep." He closed his eyes tiredly, a reluctant tear fell from the corner of his eye, exhaled the last of his turbid breath, and lay forever between the valleys.

Yuan Zhu Fangqing picked up the sword used by the lord Ouchi Yoshicho to cut his abdomen, he didn't want his lord to be insulted by the enemy after his death, so he closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry!" As he spoke, he cut off the heads of Yoshicho Ouchi and Miura Boqing, put them in his pocket, carried them on his back, stepped on his horse, picked up a spear in one hand, and killed Ida's camp surrounded by him like a divine help, and he began to break through, he didn't know where he would break through, and where he would die.

"Kill!" Yuan Zhufang Qing let out a loud shout, vented all his grievances, and rushed into the crowd.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew across the top of the mountain, and in an instant, a thunderstorm poured down like water from a sluice. In the valley below, it was like a frying pot, and Yuan Zhufang Qing sighed: "God bless me, why didn't it rain just now, to cover for our army's surprise attack." ”

The rain soon stopped, and less than three or four hundred of the 4,500 internal troops who had raided escaped in the end, and they were divided into four or five squads to escape. A small team of more than 30 people, Yuanzhu Fangqing's war horse had collapsed and died, and he was on the verge of collapse, but he still hurried towards Yamaguchi Castle, his brother and lord were still looking forward to returning home, and his family was still waiting for news from him.

Soon the sun went down.

Iga Kutaka pursued a deserter of forty or fifty men with a force of five or six hundred men, and he did not achieve decent results in the battle under the Lotus Mountain Castle that had just ended, and it was obvious that he could not satisfy his growing ambitions. (To be continued......)
