When Oda Nobunaga on the West Castle Bastion first saw the Red Leaf Army sending the Tongqiang Bei to the frontal battlefield, he thought that the Red Leaf Army was going to launch a general counterattack. However, the Tongqiang Bei seemed to be only content to protect the back of his own front from being attacked.
Detouring, circling far behind the battle line, with no intention of attacking. Just when Oda Nobunaga was unaware of where he was, he suddenly saw the Mori family's troops advancing northeastward from the Hongye Army's main formation——
That's where the central bastion is.
"Oh? Do you want to continue into Maple Leaf Mountain Castle through the bastion?" Oda Nobunaga was stunned when he saw this, "Or do you want to attack Yu's horse seal?"
"Lord!" At this moment, Ota Ushiichi's messenger in the city rushed over and said to Oda Nobunaga, "The defenders in the city broke through. About 20,000 people fought out from the east gate. I don't know what they are going to do."
Well!"
"Then have you caught the red leaf soldiers that came in and ran around?" Oda Nobunaga asked in a bad tone.
"Please make atonement, my lord, not yet!" The messenger knelt down in shame and apologized. However, Oda Nobunaga did not mean to embarrass a messenger. The situation is now very good, and the collapse of the Red Leaf Army is only a matter of time. Oda Nobunaga
The mood is also good.
"Leon, you go and deliver the order and supervise the army. Let 10,000 soldiers go out from the back door of the bastion and enter Maple Leaf Mountain Castle from the west gate to stabilize the situation in the city." Oda Nobunaga called to the Kamao clan who was standing beside him.
He waved his hand and said, "By the way, let me catch that rat that sneaked into the city."
"With so many people transferred, doesn't it matter if Ma Yin is here?" Kasheng Clan looked at the Hongye Army who were still fighting on the central fortress, and gave his advice.
"The passage is not wide, just block it. It is more than enough to leave more than 15,000 soldiers for defense." Oda Nobunaga shook his head nonchalantly, pouted and gestured to Kamou clan to hurry up. There were not many in Kamao clan.
Make a stop and leave immediately.
What surprised Oda Nobunaga was the movement of the Mori family troops. After entering the bastion, they did not open the back door to fight back. Instead, there was a fierce fighting sound at the entrance of the passage, and many Mori family soldiers gathered at the bastion.
At the edge of the wall, I wanted to imitate what the Oda family did during their previous attack, and jumped over the wall to the bastion where Oda Nobunaga was.
"Lord, the Mori family's troops launched a fierce attack on our bastion passage! The defenders in the passage were locked in a bitter battle!" A moment later, Kanamori Nagachichi, who was commanding below, hurried to the command platform where Oda Nobunaga was, "Target
It may be your horse seal, my lord!"
"Tsk, this passage is only so wide. I'll see how you guys get in. With Yasuke here, not to mention thousands of soldiers, thousands of troops and horses can't get through. Let them see what it means to have one man guarding a barrier for ten thousand men.
Open." Oda Nobunaga sneered rather disdainfully and glanced at Yu Qiu Shang's horse print in the distance, "Is this your last struggle? It's meaningless."
"Yasuke." Oda Nobunaga patted the shoulder of the strong black slave next to him and ordered him, "Take my guards and go to the passage to block them in person!"
Yasuke couldn't understand what Oda Nobunaga said, so he just turned his head to look at Oda Nobunaga in confusion. Oda Nobunaga then pointed his finger in the direction of the bastion passage, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck with a sinister smile.
·
As time passed by, the situation on the frontal battlefield continued to tilt towards the Oda army, but Oda Nobunaga's horse seal still showed no sign of moving.
"How is the progress of His Highness Mori? Is it not getting better yet?"
Yu Qiu Shang didn't know how many times he had sent out the urge.
Seeing that the Sen family's troops have been in position for a long time, but no signal of success of the plan has been received, Yu Qiu Shang couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't wait any longer, and neither could the front lines. More and more people were coming.
The Oda family troops are coming in a roundabout way, and the copper wall equipment is already somewhat unable to protect the rear of the army. On the front battlefield, the casualties of the Red Leaf Army and the coalition forces, which have always been outnumbered and outnumbered, are gradually rising, and there is a faint possibility of retreat.
There were signs of rupture in several battle lines. The mounted samurai of the Oda family immediately launched a charge, further widening these cracks. The troops of the Chosogabe family and the Miyoshi family had even lost their basic formations.
Formed, it has entered a stage where each fights independently with the samurai flag as the center. If the two of them collapse, the entire front will be doomed. The Tianhe Bei and Hoshio Bei on both wings have also begun to be unable to maintain the formation, and there are constant small attacks from the Oda family.
A group of rangers infiltrated into the back of the army, posing a threat to the commanders' positions. The only ones whose fighting situation was still good were Wan Jun Bei and Jin Cao Bei in the center. They had also sent all the personnel they could to support the front.
.
"If there is no way to shake Oda Nobunaga's horse seal, we will have no choice but to charge forward..." Yu Qiu Shang estimated how long the battle line could be maintained and clenched his fist fiercely, "Otherwise, it will be too late...
"
"A forced charge?" Everyone in the formation was shocked when they heard this, "Isn't that going to death?"
"Then we can't wait for the front to collapse. Everything will be over by then." Yu Qiu Shang waved his hand involuntarily, then took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
"Your Highness, why don't you go down and get to know the situation?" Mori Nagako looked at the precarious frontal battlefield and the unsatisfactory offensive of his own troops. He was also anxious and panicked. If it was because of the mistakes of the Mori family, the entire
If the plan failed, it would really make any Mori family warrior feel ashamed.
"Trouble." After Yu Qiu Shang nodded in agreement, Sen Chang Ke immediately pulled out his horse and left, carrying his Human Boneless, and rushed towards the central bastion. Looking at Sen Chang Ke's leaving figure, Yu Qiu Shang
Taihei Asahina who was beside him suddenly said: "Your Highness, you can't send him there. With his temperament, he is not going to understand the situation. He is clearly going to help in the battle. You won't receive a reply later.
"
"Does Mori-sama have such a temper?" Yuqiu Shang, who had never worked with Mori Naga, was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Asahina Taihei - this played into the latter's hands, "Matsuchiyo, then I'll trouble you.
I went to understand the situation and quickly bring back the trends on the front line!"
"Let's go right now!" Asahina Taihei said calmly, picked up his katana and took the order to ride away, running even faster than Mori Nagano could walk.
"This..." Seeing the figures of Morinagako and Asahina Yahei walking away, Mori Ranmaru's heart was extremely open-the two of them clearly had the same idea, how could they understand the situation?
·
Chief Mori reined in his horse at the edge of the bastion. After stepping on the corpses of his companions to board the bastion, he immediately saw the Mori family soldiers in a dilemma. The Mori family soldiers who tried to jump over the city met the same fate as before.
The soldiers of the Oda family were in the same tragic situation. Many of them were shot down by the powerful firepower of the Oda family during the jump. Their corpses were piled on top of the soldiers of the Oda family who had fallen earlier. Just by looking at it, you could tell that there were hundreds of casualties. More
Many people were surrounded and killed by the wall as soon as they jumped up. The corpses on the wall were half a person tall, which made it more difficult for the soldiers who followed to jump over. The offensive in the passage between the bastions was also
Unfortunately, Senkolong himself was standing under the command podium in the center of the bastion, yelling something at the Ashigaru who had just retreated from the passage between the bastions.
"What's going on, brother?" Mori Nagako ran down the stairs all the way down the fort wall and rushed to the command podium, "Why haven't we penetrated in yet? Everyone is waiting for us! The front line is almost overwhelmed!
"
"You can't jump through the wall. We and the Oda family have replaced countless people there and still can't break through!" Mori Kolong, who was sweating profusely and with blood-red eyes, pointed to the central bastion leading to Oda Nobunaga's bastion.
The passage we are in, "The passage cannot be broken through! Inside is Oda Nobunaga's personal guard. They have been almost exhausted by us exchanging lives for one life. Their morale is about to collapse. We are almost fighting out of the passage. But
Suddenly, a big and powerful samurai came to guard Kazuo, and he probably killed nearly a hundred people. The place was not wide enough, and only three or four people could get in at a time, so they couldn't get through. To his surprise, he was killed by one of that samurai.
The people were called back!"
"Can't we just hit him with an iron cannon?" Mori Nagako asked loudly, turning to look at the passage - and then he understood the reason. The passage was only about three or four meters wide, but it was not straight.
Passage - the passage turned a 90-degree turn in the middle. In the corner, countless people had fallen down.
The soldiers of the Mori family, and the blocking force of the Oda family, seemed to be hiding in the blind spot behind the corner.
"Brother, I'm the strongest here, let me lead the charge!" Chief Mori could see that the situation was clear. We couldn't break through without hand-to-hand combat. He raised the Boneless Man in his hand and said in a vicious voice.
"No, I will lead the team myself. You come with me." Mori Koron's determination was far beyond Mori Changke's imagination. Mori Changke was surprised and said hurriedly: "Brother, you are the commander-in-chief.
You shouldn’t…”
"If we can't break through here, the whole army is destroyed. What difference does it make if we have command or not?" Mori Kolong's eyes were red at this moment, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Select the three strongest warriors to fight with that Oda family samurai.
, if you can’t fight it, you’ll die! My skill is not as good as yours, but it’s not bad either, so of course I have to fight at this time!”
"One more!" Sen Kelong said as he turned to look at his troops, intending to pick a person with superb martial arts skills from the guards to fight with him. Just when he was about to name his name, he heard another shout:
"Senior Mori, I'm coming too!"
Koron Mori and Nagako Mori were stunned for a moment, and turned around to look, only to realize that Taihei Asahina had also arrived at the bastion at some unknown time.
"Okay, this guy's kung fu is not bad at all." Hearing this, Mori Nagako grinned and patted Asahina Yasuhira's shoulder with the boneless barrel of a gun.
"Okay, let's go." Mori Kolong took a deep breath, then took the knife, took Mori Choko and Asahina Yaihei and strode into the passage, passing over the corpses and blood of his subordinates. Asahina Yaihei casually walked away
He took off the scabbard and threw it away, while growling in a deep voice: "Let the dog thieves of the Oda family see how powerful the Yuqiu family's security team is!"
The three of them walked to the corner, all concentrating on getting ready for battle. Mori Koron leaned on the wall and made a gesture, and Mori Nagako, who had a tacit understanding, immediately raised the Human Boneless Bones and swung blindly to the other side of the corner, and
Taihei Asahina also took advantage of Mori Nagaka's cover and rolled forward against the wall on the other side to the corridor, scouting the situation in the transverse passage after the turn.
However, Mori Nagaka's blow was in vain, and Asahina Yahei was not immediately attacked. Mori Koron was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed Mori Nagaka around the corner and walked to the horizontal passage - they were here
Only then did they realize that there was only one defender of the Oda family, and they had no intention of blocking the corner and attacking the three men who were not yet firmly on their feet. The tall and strong man was dressed in cloth without any armor, holding a long gun, and was leaning against a man not far away.
On the wall, there were countless corpses of Mori family soldiers lying at their feet. After realizing that someone else was coming, he lazily raised his eyes and looked at Mori Kelong and the other three.
Mori Kotaka, Mori Nagako and Asahina Taihei were all stunned for a moment - the samurai of the Oda family was none other than the black slave Yasuke the three of them had seen in Kyoto.
"It's this guy..." Mori Nagako licked his lips and took a posture with the Human Boneless in his hand, but was stunned again - because he saw that the spear held in Yasuke's arms was not another weapon.
It was Honda Tadakatsu's favorite gun during his lifetime - the Dragonfly Kiri.
"Hey..." Mori Kolong, who also recognized Dragonfly Kiri, felt his throat was dry and his voice was shaking with anger. He raised his hand and pointed the knife at Yasuke and asked, "That gun...where did you come from? You
What happened to Captain Honda and His Highness Momiji..."
Yasuke obviously didn't understand what Mori Koron was asking, but he roughly guessed what it meant from the way he pointed at the gun. He stood up straight and shook the dragonfly cutter in his hand very casually.
Then he showed a contemptuous smile and raised his hand to wipe his neck.
The air in the passage solidified almost instantly, and the bloody smell emanating from the corpse seemed to be frozen, too cold to make people shiver. The next moment, all the hot blood in the bloodlines of Mori Kotaka, Mori Nagaka, and Asahina Taihei almost exploded.
As it opened, the explosive murderous aura burst out along the passage, making the soldiers of both armies waiting outside the passage unable to stand.
"Bastard!" The three of them roared and swarmed forward with their eyes cracked. The ground under their feet was deformed by the huge pedaling force.
Chapter completed!
