News unrelated to the impending war has gone viral in Osaka Castle, and Yamamoto Jinnan has once again been pushed to the center of the unpredictable fog of political strife.
Regardless of the disturbances of foreign affairs, when Toyotomi Maruko came to the Yamamoto family's mansion, Yamamoto Zhennan was caught in the trouble that the Lin family's sword could not be applied at will on the battlefield.
"Brother Yamamoto, where's your deputy knife?"
The martial arts of the Wa Kingdom have always been used in conquest, and there are many combat skills that originated from the Tang Dynasty, including the evolution of two-handed swords into samurai swordsmanship, and the application of the main hand and deputy hand evolution of whip and mace method in sword art. On the battlefield where there is no room for turnaround, it is inevitable to use weapons to restrict the enemy's weapons, but Yamamoto Zhennan, who was born in the Emperor's **** martial arts, couldn't think of it for a while, until Maruko woke it up with a word.
Yamamoto Zhennan personally did it, mined the fine iron of the Japanese country, made a new Lin family sword, divided the main hand and deputy, widened but not lengthened, held in the hand, sure enough, a clamp and a pinch will be struck by the weapon to the direction and controlled, the main hand sword stabbed and wiped the blow, simply neat.
With the grace of Maruko's words, Yamamoto Zhennan, who has a young heart, is also inconvenient to maintain the coldness and distance necessary for the division of monarchs and ministers, and also began to take her out to play secretly, to see some of the little girls who have never had a chance to see the civilian scene, Yamamoto Zhennan, who has no sisters and brothers at home, feels a different kind of dependence in this little girl than when he feels when he is a retainer and a retainer and a meritorious career, a young man who has not been away from home for a long time can hardly quit this kind of affection, looking at the figure of Maruko, and gradually Yamamoto Zhennan's eyes gave birth to pity, and because of this look, his childishness has receded a lot, and he is a heroic young lordγ
Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and it was a rainy day, and the Kwantung coalition army finally came.
Two miles outside Osaka Castle, the coalition forces were lined with flags, swords and soldiers, and a group of ashigaru teams in various costumes were cheering, each surrounded by samurai in their drapes. In the center of the military formation, a cluster of horses gathered, and there were also many square flags embroidered with the family crest of the daimyo on the head, and three large flags stood side by side in the most conspicuous place, namely the Shibata family coat of arms, the Oda family coat of arms, and the Tokugawa family coat of arms.
Shibata Katsuie brought in Tokugawa Ieyasu and supported the second and third sons who had been exiled by Oda Nobunaga, and now came to crusade against Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the name of the orthodoxy of the Oda family.
Toyotomi is now the lord and wants to give his subordinates peace of mind, so he did not go to battle in person, but dressed in civilian clothes, holding the young girl Maruko in his arms, and lying on the high place of the castle tower to watch the battle. The first team in the south of Yamamoto Zhennan was divided into the left flank when the troops were arranged, and the formation was there, looking at the scolding of the Chinese army and the opposing Chinese army. The scolding array is a tradition since ancient times, and the regime of the state in the Middle Ages mostly relied on morality and righteousness to maintain its rule, and although the war has pierced the original righteousness and tradition, it has to justify the rule of the latecomer, so the two sides tacitly understand that in the link of the scolding array, they must let their own soldiers and the soldiers on the opposite side deviate in morale, and also rely on this slight deviation to play a role in the battlefield full of iron and blood that has often been fought for a long time, so that some of the soldiers of Qiruo collapsed earlier.
After scolding for a long time, Yamamoto Zhennan has reorganized his own team many times. Finally hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Chinese army started slowly, and it turned out to be a coalition army that took the initiative to attack more than twice the size of the Toyotomi army.
Behind Yamamoto Zhennan is to protect him left and right six catties of water and seven catties of water, and the three of them are now wearing full armor in the style of the Japanese Kingdom like others, slowly moving forward, several people are not riding horses, because in such a frontal battle formation that is hard and lacks roundabout space, the horsemen are inconvenient, especially when there are only bamboo spears and bamboo rows behind them to follow with confidence, and they have to be with these people to ensure that the formation will not collapse.
The battle was so simple and direct, no hiding, no detours, and watching the other party's hideous face and long knife glowing with fishy smell. Can't blink, give up thinking, use the intuition of the body, shrink the moves and movements within an elbow away from the body, Lin Jiajian's deputy hand blocked, the main hand wiped off, the pace was diagonally in and out, the feet were stable, and the light body technique without moving could be elusive in every inch.
Looking at the eyes of six catties of water and seven catties of water, that pace is simply a setback when he jumps off the ship, and that gesture and sword gesture is not the ingenuity of the people to collect the net and shake the net. Excitement flowed from the eyes of the elder brother who followed him closely, and the pace became more and more steady, listening to the drums on the battlefield that had a rhythm like a dance.
When the three of them took the lead in attacking, Gamble and Yamamoto Kazuma had a long knife in their hands, and the back of the knife slashed forward these farmers who were new to the mandarin duck formation (Ashigaru did not lose production), so that the Ashigaru team moved forward steadily. When encountering the enemy, the bamboo platoon takes the initiative to meet the knock, lead away from the direction of the enemy soldiers, the bamboo guns strike left and right, obliquely out of the assassination, when the enemy encounters a lot, a plurality of mandarin duck small formations are united into a large mandarin duck array, first the opposing army is scattered, and then the crowd is combined to attack, annihilating the opponent. The coalition relied on the strength of the people to boost their morale, especially the four daimyo armies that formed the left and right flanks fought separately, and were once beaten by the Toyotomi army, the fierce general of the Oda family, and once defeated, they were quickly defeated.
When the Chinese army was still holding on, the left flank of the Toyotomi army attacked in front and broke the enemy's position, and a large number of Toyotomi troops who had been fighting for a long time quickly poured into the breakthrough and chased the north. When Yamamoto Zhennan became the vanguard of this battle, the generals who were competing for success began to pour out behind him, rushing towards the right flank of the coalition army, which was no longer blocked.
By this time, the outcome of the war had been decided, and according to the decision of the Yamamoto family's important ministers and family elders' meeting, Yamamoto Zhennan's daughter could already retire successfully. And at this time in the south of Yamamoto Zhennan, the spirit of the warrior dominated his choice, in this battle, he did not want to win, but to sharpen, only to feel the pressure in front of him, he did not think, the sword in his hand followed the pressure on the battlefield to break the enemy and hit the enemy, and actually went to the direction of the coalition army.
The six catties of water behind him and the seven catties of water did not distinguish between the cause, but they just followed, although Gamble and Kazuo Yamamoto complained in their hearts, they only gritted their teeth, and pushed the team of bamboo spearmen who were inspired by victory to attack more tightly.
Yamamoto Zhennan, who was in a mysterious realm in front of his mind and moved his sword, didn't know where he was going. One of the men who noticed him in front of the battle, a samurai on a high horse, drew his short sword, drew it on his head, roared his own army, and circled to the south of Yamamoto Town, and suddenly this horse team, which seemed to be full of fierce spirit, swept over the insignificant group of the Yamamoto family in the chaos outside Osaka Castle.
The ping-pong sound was crisp for a while, and the horse team blew by, leaving in place was Yamamoto Zhennan, who was lying on his back in the bloody mud, with his two swords staggered around his neck, kneeling in front of Yamamoto Zhennan, with the long knife on his shoulders respectively six catties of water and seven catties of water, and the scattered bamboo gunners of the new branch of mandarin duck formation, loyal to the lord, but they didn't have time to rush to the front, and in excitement, they jumped and knocked down a samurai on horseback regardless of their own safety.
When the backward Gamble arrived, the cavalry army had already flown away, leaving behind a little bit of blood and mud that flew over, and it was faintly seen that the army did not stay on the left flank of the coalition army, but rolled up a large number of soldiers and horses and went out of the battlefield.
This scene was seen in the eyes of both Shibata Katsuie of the coalition army and Toyotomi Hideyoshi of the castle tower, both of whom were extremely familiar with this well-timed army, which was Tokugawa Ieyasu's personal guard.
The war continued, but it was over for the Yamamoto family, and Kazuo Yamamoto, who had fallen from his horse with the enemy samurai, was fortunate not to be stabbed by his death, but only broke his arm when he fell off his horse, and Gamble came to help him up and hurried to Yamamoto's side in a hurry. I saw six catties of water and seven catties of water, and the two brothers slowly raised their heads, and in their simple smiles, small mouthfuls of blood gushed out between the teeth in their mouths.
