Outside Kiriyama Castle, the Daimyo coalition has issued an order to withdraw the troops besieging the Nizi family, and the main formation built of prefabricated wooden planks in the Dwaryama main camp has also begun to be dismantled.

Half an hour ago, the little ones who had taken the peasants to pack up the camp had been given an order to move the camp to a new position near Kiriyama Castle at the foot of the mountain, and now they had received a new order to put the camp on a cart.

I don't need this camp anymore.

The Yamana clan Ashigaru fought a battle outside the city with this sneak attack Ming army in a situation close to a heads-up, and the battle ended with the complete annihilation of the Yamana army, and as for the enemy's losses, they did not know and did not dare to think about it.

Looking at the enemy soldiers who were rescued by the North Korean soldiers from a distance, the same question was in the hearts of every general.

How many enemies have we killed, and how many enemies can we kill?

Twenty? Thirty?

But pay close to three hundred killed?

"General, my subordinates can get iron armor, right? We have to have iron armor, and with iron armor, we don't have to die anymore! ”

"Hahaha, there is iron armor, not only will I give you thirty pairs of iron armor, you are very brave and fight well, you can all enter my family army, from now on, your surname is Li." Li Rubai looked at the Jurchen leader who had just shaved off the skin and flesh of his shoulder and took out the arrow, so happy that he dismounted and patted his arm and said, "Call Li Dai, Li Dai!" ”

The leader covered his shoulders and fell to the ground, lowered his head and shouted: "Subordinate Li Dai, I am grateful!" ”

If there is iron armor, you don't have to suffer this kind of arrow wound, you can become a member of the Li family, a small tribe that survives in the cracks of Jianzhou, you can rely on a big tree, and all problems can be solved.

In Jianzhou, the surname Li is not a supreme honor, but it can solve many problems.

"Well, the war is not over yet, and the enemy should attack later." Li Rubai turned over on his horse, lowered his head condescendingly and asked, "Can your people continue to fight?" ”

"Subordinates deserve to die!"

"Haha, you can't die, take your men and join the battle with the cavalry at the end." Li Rubai was very happy when he received the family, and waved his hand: "Go!" ”

When he paced to the front of the formation, he asked Wang Rulong, who was holding a telescope, "General, isn't the enemy going to attack yet?" ”

"As if frightened, many people went in and out of the small tents, not knowing what to discuss with their county officials, so let's beat them." Wang Rulong turned his head as he spoke, and said: "Fight without fighting, retreat without retreating, hit them, you should be able to fight—can you fight?" ”

Wang Rulong was not asking Li Rubai, but asking the 100 artillery households under him, and asked, "Is there about five or six miles over there?" ”

"General Hui, it's five and a half miles, within the range of General Da Zhenshuo." The two artillerymen looked at each other, and at the same time took out a small tool to measure the distance, and the leader said: "We have to pull from the boat, but it will be difficult to hit the enemy's tent." ”

General Da Zhenshuo said that it was a ten-pound cannon, and there were no artillery units under Wang Rulong's command, but there were on board.

They had to rely on four small horses to pull the horses, the movement was slow, they got off the ship and originally wanted to fight in the field, worried that the heavy artillery would not be easy to move in the pursuit, and they were not equipped, and now they only had ten two-pound guns in their hands, and the distance used by the two-pound guns in the drill code was eight hundred paces, far less than this distance.

In fact, even if it is a ten-pound cannon, it will not be fired four miles away in battle, and when the artillery is the most powerful, it is still flat fire to make the shells jump, which can plow dozens of steps in the dense military formation, and the large elevation angle will only make the shells directly hit the ground, and in most cases it is a waste of firepower.

However, it is not the same to be able to see the military tents in the enemy army.

"Go, pull the cannon out."

At the same time, opposite the main camp, the general of the Oda reinforcement army was Hosokawa Fujitaka who served the general and came out of Nobunaga, and it was too ridiculous for him to be in the world.

When he sent his army, he had not yet received the submission of Isshiki and other clans, and Nobunaga originally asked him to lead the army to attack Tango with Akechi Hinata Morimitsuhide, but due to the invasion of the Niko clan, the Yamana and Isshiki families quickly sent people to negotiate peace with Oda and asked for reinforcements—none of these retainers were willing to negotiate peace with them.

After attacking Xiadan, the most likely person to get these fiefs is to lead the army to pacify the generals here, and it is obviously not beneficial to fight as reinforcements.

However, Oda Nobunaga insisted on agreeing to the request for peace, and sent Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide to lead the army to help.

At this time, many generals in the formation were shouting loudly, shouting and scolding unusually loudly, and even quarreled with each other in two factions, accusing each other of not having the courage - but in fact, they themselves did not know why they were angry.

"Anger cannot defeat the enemy, do many warriors fear when they see the enemy strong?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka sat in the middle of the formation, took out the closed folding fan from his waist and slapped it in his palm, and suddenly smiled: "In that case, let's not beat them." ”

A group of generals: "Huh? ”

"Well, don't fight them, at this time the enemy army is back to the sea, and the big war ships are docked on the seaside, I heard that their big war ships have big barrels that can shoot a mile hard, and they are in formation there, aren't they just going to attack us with the help of artillery?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka asked, "Then if we don't fight them, will they be willing to lay down the low city they have built and come to attack us?" At least not today, the enemy's purpose is to seize the fields, we trap them here, and in a few days they will run out of food and grass, and they will naturally retreat. ”

"Behind me, Hinata Mamoru has prepared a rich and delicious rice ration in Sakai Town, only one day behind, and tomorrow our troops will be able to get food supplies, is there anything to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, Hosokawa Fujitaka stood up, pointed to the sketch drawn on the table with a folding fan and said: "Therefore, we must send troops to stop the Shikasuke team, and not let him go east again, as for the Ming army, it is good to just besiege them, and when the reinforcements of Lord Hyuga Mamoru arrive, 20,000 troops, even the gods can't rely on 2,000 people to block!" ”

"Oh!" The generals exaggeratedly opened their mouths and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being an adult from the Hosokawa clan of the three-pipe leader!" ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka was a little embarrassed and smiled reservedly.

At this moment, the cannon roared along the coast, scaring the generals of this formation, some people got up but were tripped by Ma Zha, and fell to the ground, and the rest of them instinctively drew their swords to protect them, and some people who could still maintain their composure stepped out of the formation and collided with the envoys who came to report.

"What's going on!"

"Report to your lords, the Ming army on the coast is in front of the formation, shooting at our side messily, and the cannon sound is huge!"

Hosokawa Fujitaka walked to the door of the main camp and asked eagerly, "What about the casualties?" ”

"There were no casualties, the range of the iron bullets ranged from far and near, most of them landed in the open space in front of the formation, and only one seemed to have missed and flew near the main formation and smashed the barrel that Lord Hosokawa was bathing in."

"Hahaha! Barrels for bathing! ”

The warriors laughed, and after hearing that there were no casualties, even Hosokawa Fujitaka, the owner of the bathtub, breathed a long sigh of relief, and was just about to turn around but suddenly froze his body, frowning and muttering: "Why does a missed cannonball fly so far?" ”

"Spread out! All of them missed, and only the one hit! Suddenly, Hosokawa Fujitaka understood something, and opened his arms to wave at the generals in the formation and shouted, "The enemy's purpose is Hon-"

The shells shrieked and arrived as scheduled.
