Chapter 146: The Battle of the Barrel Narrows (6)
When he saw Naokatsu Ii leading the Imagawa cavalry to charge, Oda Nobunaga's personal guards were ready for hand-to-hand combat, who knew that the famous Imagawa cavalry actually fell under the fire of these Ming people, and died in shame without even touching the sleeves of the enemy.

In fact, if it weren't for Yang Guang's action, even if Ii Naokumu was killed by half of his men in the charge, the remaining cavalry would have been able to quickly kill as long as they rushed into the ranks of the firecrackers, and wiped out this firearms force that posed a great threat to the Imagawa family.
In any case, it was an exciting victory, and inspired by it, the samurai of the Oda clan once again burst out with a strong will to fight, and frantically launched an attack on every Imagawa clan defeat in front of them.
Before guns completely dominate the battlefield, the combat awareness and morale of the soldiers on both sides will definitely determine the outcome of a battle. The Imagawa family's soldiers were demoralized by the annihilation of the cavalry, and at the same time feared Yang Guang's terrifying firearms force, and were attacked by the Oda family's samurai, and the defense line quickly collapsed.
Yang Guang had been directing the Night Stalkers to scout Imagawa Yoshimoto's movements, and after defeating Ii Naokatu's cavalry, he finally saw the figure of Imagawa Yoshimoto through the Night Stalker's field of vision, who was retreating towards the rear of the camp under the protection of 300 Hachimoto samurai.
In the history of real time and space, the roads were muddy due to heavy rain, which greatly affected the speed of Imagawa Yoshimoto, allowing Oda Nobunaga to catch up with him and kill him on the spot. But now that the sky is getting brighter, the vision is getting better and better, and it is sunny again, and the ground is flat, there is no way to create any obstacles for Imagawa Yoshimoto.
In this case, Yang Guang could only speed up his pace, he had the night owl above his head, he knew the overall situation of the chaotic Chinese army camp well, and after choosing the shortest route forward, he let the firecracker team with little ammunition left shoot in turn, and killed a bloody way.
Under Yang Guang's deliberate guidance, the main attack direction of Oda Nobunaga's samurai was slightly changed, so that they could see Imagawa Yoshimoto more quickly.
After seeing the enemy's commander, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga was ecstatic and shouted loudly: "There, Imagawa Yoshimoto is there!" After saying that, Oda Nobunaga drew his katana and personally led his guards to rush forward to fight.
Both sides knew that this was the most crucial battle, and if Imagawa Yoshimoto escaped, he would soon be able to remobilize his army to attack Oda Nobunaga, who had won a resounding victory but was still defeated. On the other hand, if Oda Nobunaga killed Imagawa Yoshimoto, the latter's huge army would immediately collapse and collapse.
At this moment, their own life and death are no longer important, and many samurai on both sides don't even care about the swords seen by the enemy at all, and they have to kill a few more people by exchanging their lives for lives.
Yang Guang did not let the firearms team follow, this firearms unit has basically run out of ammunition, and has lost the sharpest means of attack. Although these people had fought at sea when they followed Ye Zongman before, Yang Guang did not want them to lose in the civil war between the Japanese princes.
Of course, Yang Guang will not sit idly by, he asked the fire gun team to take out all the remaining ammunition and replenish it to Suzuki Shigehide and a few others, so that they can find a strong or high-status samurai on the other side to put cold guns, and if there is a chance, it is best to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto as well.
Seeing the scene of the scuffle in front of him to the point where he couldn't distinguish between the enemy and me, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt an indescribable chagrin in his heart. If he wasn't so careless, how could Oda Nobunaga succeed in a night attack. If he had led the Samurai of Banner to withdraw immediately when he learned the news of the night attack, he would have been in the safe rear by now, no matter what the losses of the Chinese army here were, as long as the army was mobilized and returned, Oda Nobunaga would also be defeated.
Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is confident to the point of conceit, is unwilling to run away like this, how could he be scared away by a person nicknamed "Fool"? As for the terrible firearms troops described by the escaped subordinates, in Imagawa Yoshimoto's opinion, they were just an excuse for their own defeat, and as long as there were Ii Naokatu's cavalry, any firearms unit could be crushed in one fell swoop.
As a result, the facts gave Imagawa Yoshimoto a blow to the head, and the invincible Ii Naokumbu didn't even have a chance to rush into the opponent's queue, and the whole army was wiped out. At this time, he still couldn't make up his mind, until the shouts of the Oda army attacking came outside, and he was forced to evacuate with the personal guards by the situation, but unfortunately Yang Guang found out and guided Oda Nobunaga to chase after him.
"Bang!" The sound of the fire bolt was heard, and a loyal Imagawa family flag shook his body, fell unwillingly, and was hacked to death by several Oda samurai who followed him.
Seeing this scene, Imagawa Yoshimoto clenched his fists, and several flag warriors around him used their bodies to cover the main general as much as possible, not giving the shooters on Oda Nobunaga's side a chance to shoot, covering Imagawa Yoshimoto to quickly leave towards the back camp.
When Imagawa Yoshimoto had already walked out of the range of the fire and was about to disappear out of Oda Nobunaga's field of vision, he stopped and looked back, wanting to keep in mind the scene that happened today, but at such an instant, a dazzling fire suddenly appeared more than sixty meters on the side.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's gaze attracted the firelight, but he saw the blood light of the flag warrior in front of him soaring out like a cherry blossom, and then his body trembled involuntarily, and slowly fell to the ground.
Looking at his record of one shot and two lives, the corners of Suzuki Shigehide's mouth turned up slightly, and he used his sniper record to prove his strength to his companions, so when he was ordered to snipe the samurai of the Imagawa family, he persuaded Huang Lao Qibing to obtain Yang Guang's consent, and took this dragon breath cannon to sneak up on the retreat route of Imagawa Yoshimoto using ninjutsu.
The power of the Dragon's Breath cannon was even more terrifying than Shigehide Suzuki had imagined, and it could pierce the body of a samurai with a flag and then hit Yoshimoto Imagawa, making the enemy commander who almost escaped angry on the spot.
"Imagawa Yoshimoto is dead! Yoshimoto Imagawa is dead! Yang Guang has been paying attention to the situation of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and after discovering that Suzuki Shigehide's sniper was successful, he immediately shouted loudly, and the samurai on both sides who were fighting on the battlefield almost unanimously stopped fighting, and looked towards Imagawa Yoshimoto's location.
If Imagawa Yoshimoto hadn't died, even if he was seriously injured, he would have stood up as if nothing had happened at this time to calm the army's heart, but he was never seen in everyone's field of vision. Not only that, but the flag warriors who originally protected Imagawa Yoshimoto were in a mess, making people who saw this scene believe that Imagawa Yoshimoto might really be dead.
