Chapter 325. Mao's mystery
The sunset is slanting, the remnant sun is like blood, the red earth seems to be groaning, the sun is about to go down, but the tragic war of tens of thousands of troops is still continuing, and the blood is also scattered on the ground piece by piece.
The Daguan knife that pulled the wind no longer knew that it was thrown there, and it was not good to refuse to accept the old age, after all, he was in his early sixties, and after fighting for a day, he changed the big knife to the ground, and Shen Shikui gasped violently.
Blood flowed down his arm to the blade, and finally dripped to the ground, mixed with sweat, and already dripping a small pool.
There are weapons stuck in the ground everywhere, arrows and feathers, and the body is lying down everywhere, this is the fourth time that the shogunate army of Tsumeyama has repelled the attack, and there are few people standing on the entire battlefield. Lying behind a fallen Hongyi cannon, Adelena had the illusion that her side had been wiped out at the end of each battle.
It's just that every time the enemy comes up again, in Shen Shikui's old hoarse shout, the hordes of Dongjiang Army soldiers roared again as if they came out of the cemetery, and once again roared and pounced to meet the battle, and once again beat back the swarming Japanese people.
Sure enough, this time was the same, with the sound of dense footsteps, the samurai holding the big guns of the Japanese Kingdom were again lined up in a tight formation, pressing forward, so red that the outline could not be seen clearly, and the layers of Ming troops stood up suddenly, also clustered into a tight formation.
Even the Honda Tadachao on the mountain felt chilled when he saw this scene, and after the setback in the morning, he regrouped and concentrated his forces, and the military strength put into the attack in the afternoon had reached more than 18,000, but he still failed to break through the seemingly thin formation of the Ming army on the shore.
The first few times there was the advantage of cavalry, the last time it was completely a fight for life, the horse is not a man, the horse has no will, after a hard day, the horse has not died and has long been tired.
But even so, the Japanese army was still beaten back, compared to the newly-born Iron Righteous Army, the tenacity of these Dongjiang veterans was like that of old scalpers.
But this time, it should be over! Without sparing a hand, the Honda Tadashi Dynasty pressed all his troops, the tight infantry formation was as thick as a dark cloud in the sky, and the Ming army was already thin and seemed to be worn out at any time, if this battle could not open the way, the youngest son of the first fierce general of the Japanese kingdom even doubted whether he would have the courage to attack next time.
The Dongjiang Army, in the sound of the local rapid war drums, shook the blood on the knife, still dragging the knife so calmly, Shen Shikui once again paced to the front of the military town, and the blade made a hissing sound in the friction between the slippery mud on the ground.
"Damn, you can't kill it! These little devils!"
The cheeky face was also covered with blood, and the saber in his hand was cut into serrated teeth, Liu Xingzuo snorted stupidly, walked to Shen Shikui's side, spat angrily, and turned around gloomily again, and glanced at the Shinano Hills of Sensen.
"The general hasn't come back yet!"
"What? Your surname Liu is also afraid? ”
Laughed and tilted his head, and then Shen Shikui's eyes were gloomy and turned to the battlefield, and he said hoarsely.
"The Mao kid is not easy on that side, he only has 8,000 people, but he has to fight more than 30,000 Japanese people, even if there are more than 30,000 pigs, you have to slaughter them for a while, if you don't do it, you can rest later, old man, I can cut it for a while."
"Look at what you keep talking."
is still that immodest look, crooked shoulders and shrugging the knife, looking at the Japanese warriors who are getting closer and closer, although the tone is still hanging, Liu Xingzuo's triangular eyes, the rich murderous aura is almost about to melt out.
"Just these dwarves, I don't know how far away they are from the East Captivity, and Lao Tzu is in the mood for killing! It's that you don't go to rest, if you can't come up in one breath and hold it here, you have to blame Lao Tzu when you go back. ”
"Cut, when Lao Tzu was slashing people with a knife, you kid didn't know where to be reincarnated!"
He grinned, raised the knife with both hands, and for a while, he Shen Shikui turned into a leopard with his head ready to attack.
It's really a veteran of the years, compared with the new army of the Iron Righteous Army, it is a little more indifferent, in the nervous pace of the Japanese people, the large formation has been pressed to less than two or three hundred meters, and the two main generals, the Jeju Army with a slightly scattered formation smokes and smokes, and occasionally talks and laughs, it seems that it is not at all like the warriors of the battle formation who are about to fight to the death.
One strong and one soft, the two completely different armies got closer and closer, and the next bloody battle was about to begin, but the aggressive Japanese warriors stopped their footsteps at this time.
Honda Tadasa, who raised his sword forward and personally supervised the formation, looked behind him incredulously, and the Maeda family grass flag, which he had been waiting for all day, finally appeared on the horizon, but compared to the scenery of the first daimyo of the Japanese country in the past, the Maeda family emblem at this time was like a soup chicken, full of holes like pockmarks hit by guns and artillery shells, not to mention, a large piece of blood stained and covered with half of the flag.
If it's just embarrassing, it's easy to say, but the other bright red Mao character Daxu is set up mightily behind the Maeda family coat of arms, and the two flags are one in front and one behind, one majestic and one down, and it looks like a general returning from victory holding a prisoner.
But the fact is almost the same, just like Oda Nobunaga back then, Mao Jue also set up this legendary battle on the land of the Japanese country, in addition to more than 5,000 people from the Hino Keiji wolf department who escaped with interest, Mao Jue almost defeated the Maeda family several times his own elite main force in one go, more than 22,000 samurai either died or fled, or were captured, and Maeda Guangtaka who hurriedly returned to the rescue also wanted to find the field, but he happened to get into Mao Jue's circle and compensated the last bit of his Maeda family.
Although tired but excited, in the shout, hundreds of boats fought for the current to force the Shinano River, and the main force of the Dongjiang Army once again filled into the thin military formation, Mao Jue, returned!
"General, general, let's, are we still fighting?"
Honda Zhongchao stopped for two or three minutes, and with a trill, the Xianshi family governor was pushed out by the rest of the family governors with an earthy face, and asked hesitantly.
Only then did a spirit come back to his senses, and Honda Tadachao instantly filled his entire back with cold sweat, almost like a roar, and he yelled anxiously.
"Retire immediately! Retreat to the passes, and never let Tang Kou pass through here!"
The fifth attack, which was originally violent, did not wait for it to be launched, and more than a dozen samurai had already fled as if they had been defeated, and retreated to the position of the Wife and Nu Mountain in embarrassment, huddled behind those breastwork walls and trembled.
"Grandpa Shen really lives up to his reputation, and he should be strong when he is old!"
It is really a victorious division, and the Dongjiang veterans and the newcomers of Tieyi, who look down on each other on weekdays, are also the first time to look at each other so pleasing to the eye this time, and those who don't know each other will be greeted together for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe and patted each other's shoulders like that. Red light, Mao Jue also hurriedly walked to the front of the military formation, to be honest, what he was most worried about this day was not the battle with the Maeda family, but the back formation, but these veterans who supported the previous generation of Dongjiang Town were really not given in vain, looking at Shen Shikui, who was almost half red with blood, Mao Jue went up and bowed respectfully.
In front of the aggressive Mao Jue, for the first time, he earned back his face as an elder, and Shen Shikui, the old guy, seemed to have a sense of relief for a while, but he shook his head with emotion.
"No, it's old! This Dongjiang really has to look at the young people, the army that was three times larger than himself was defeated in the first battle, General Xiaomao is really a tiger father and no dog, the old man admires it!"
"Okay, Grandpa Shen, we two will be polite here! What about Adleena! If you don't go back to prepare wine, you will win a big victory today, and you will have to drink a few jars with the brothers of the Shen family!"
"Haha, that's exactly what the old man means! Please!"
The hearty laughter echoed in the last trace of the sunset, and the old figures pulled one by one, the shadows opened their teeth and danced their claws, and on the land of the Wa Kingdom, it seemed that another Sixth Heaven Demon King was born in this bloody scorched earth.
…………
In this big battle, the whole situation seems to have been reversed, and the momentum of the front and rear attacks that the shogunate relied on to win is gone, leaving the Shinano coalition army alone in front of the Dongjiang army, don't look at the Honda Tadashi Dynasty There are still 25,000 or six in his hands, facing Mao Jue, the descendants of his first fierce general, feel like an egg standing on the tip of a knife, fidgeting.
While stubbornly defending the position of Wife and Nu Mountain, he also desperately spread his money bags, hired local people from behind, and continued to build layers of defensive positions in Minami Shinano, and he had lost confidence in whether he could block Mao Jue's attack.
However, it seems that this battle also hurt some vitality, 21, 22, 23, for three consecutive days, the Tang Kou army stationed on Kawanaka Island did not have any new military action, just stopped there with a dry stare at it.
This situation was what the Honda Tadashi Dynasty was most willing to see, and as long as the southern Kyushu raiding team or the northern defense army stationed in Ezo in the north rushed back, the shogunate's crisis would be resolved.
However, on the twenty-fourth day, Honda Tadashi received news that shocked him.
"Tang Kou's army has already broken through to Jiafei, impossible!"
In the unbelievable roar of the second generation of heroes, the dying messenger for help kowtowed with great difficulty, and the battle situation was urgent to the extreme, even if he was shot, his back was constantly bleeding, and the voice was as terrible as a dying old wolf.
"Kofu Castle has been broken by Tang Kou, Lord Iwahira was martyred, Shi He is also in danger, when the villain came, the Yamanashi County Guard was already full of Tang thief troops, and the villain rushed out of a bloody road to the death!"
"Who's down there?"
I can't breathe, this messenger still has a handwritten letter from Kofu guarding Hirayan Qinji, it is impossible to fake it, hearing this, Honda Tadachao looked down in confusion, in the past three days, his scouts can clearly see the traces of the army under the mountain, fetching water, and cooking.
But before he could study it clearly, the door was actually chaotic again, sweating profusely, Ishikawa Naobu, Senshi Youbei, Kawajiri Yoshitaka and several Shinano country daimyo were each covered in cold sweat, and hurriedly entered.
"General, it's not good! Tang Kou's army broke through Takai-gun, and the soldiers and horses attacked Susaka Castle, and my Ishida family was in danger! ”
"What?"
In this play, Duo Zhongchao really wants to vomit blood, will this Tang thief fly? Why did you go around your flank again? Which is the Tang thief of Jiafei?
"General, let's find a way!"
Takai, Koo, and Saku counties are the base camps of these Shinano coalition forces, and it can be said that the Dongjiang army has burned to their doorstep, and everyone is as anxious as ants on a hot fire, staring at Honda Tadashi in a hurry.
If the family is gone, who has the heart to defend the shogunate? Seeing the distorted faces of those daimyos, Honda Tadashito's head was three points bigger.
Where the hell is this Tang thief!!
