With Kumagai Takashi's heavy drink, more than 300 short guns were projected, and a terrible and painful cry was heard from the dense queue.

Kumagai Takanao drew a sword and rushed towards the rear of the Ouchi army with an unstoppable momentum, and behind him, more than 300 Ming Kumagai samurai wielded all kinds of blades and rushed forward to kill. Hundreds of Ouchi soldiers swarmed out, desperately resisting, but they couldn't stop it at all, and under the onslaught of the hundreds of Kumagai samurai, the hastily assembled Ouchi soldiers were basically crushed at the touch of a button.

This assault formation of just three hundred people actually gave Hongzhong Longbao a strong shock, and the rush of thousands of troops and horses was nothing more than that! He didn't expect to be raided at the main gate of Yamaguchi Castle and the Ouchi clan, and this slap hit him in the face as well as on the faces of all Ouchi people.

Hirochu Takabao looked at the chaotic rear of the Ouchi army, and understood that it was difficult to assemble now, but if he didn't assemble, he was afraid that he would not be the opponent of this enemy army, so he took a deep breath and shouted loudly regardless of his own safety: "Move closer to me." ”

Kumagai Takanao heard an abrupt shout, grinned, and in an instant, two rows of Shiramori's teeth were exposed, and he shouted, "Kill him!" As he spoke, he kicked the enemy soldier in front of him, raised his sword and cut off half of his head, turned around and shouted, "Brothers, do you see that guy?" Rush up and kill him! With that, he immediately turned around with his knife and rushed towards Hongzhong Takabao.

Hongzhong Takabao wanted to slap himself hard, who would pay attention to him in ordinary armor in the original chaotic army, just as he was an ordinary middle and lower-level samurai. It's good now. They all think that he is the main commander of this back team. Rushing forward to kill him.

Hongzhong Takabao was so trembling that he didn't know what to do, he was a minister, not a general, and the soldiers of this era were not professional soldiers, but could only be regarded as agricultural soldiers, and the samurai were professional soldiers who were out of production, but how many samurai could there be.

Today, there are still five or six hundred people protecting Hongzhong Longbao. It is difficult for the rest of the people to keep their composure, and it is impossible for them to stand still like a rock, and it is even more impossible for them to go to defend Hongzhong Takabao, you must know that they are just eating in the army, and who will support their families if they give their lives.

In just a moment, the Kumagai samurai had already defeated a team of 1,000 people, and the soldiers pointed directly at Hirochu Takabo, and at that moment his personal guard captain took two steps forward and said, "My lord, you can't be defeated, it's too dangerous here." Let's retreat to Yamaguchi Castle quickly! ”

The entire 3,000 rear army was crushed under the attack of 300 enemies, and Hongzhong Takabao saw that if he did not act again. Once he hits in front of him, where will he be the opponent of these monsters as a general, and if he cuts off his head, he is afraid that Yamaguchi Castle will be taken away.

At the moment, Hongzhong Takabao should not be lazy, under the escort of two or three hundred personal soldiers, he went straight to Yamaguchi Castle, which has been renovated after the last war, and is stronger than ever, and does not want to become a refuge for Hongzhong Takabao today.

As soon as Hongzhong Takabao withdrew, he immediately ordered the gate of Yamaguchi Castle to be closed, and watched more than 2,000 soldiers of the rear army who had not returned to the city outside the city be in chaos under the enemy's charge.

Kumagai Takanao's target fled into Yamaguchi Castle, and he didn't have to take a breath to lead his Kumagai samurai to launch a fierce attack on the Ouchi army lined up at Yamaguchi Castle. He knew that even if he had defeated a considerable number of Ouchi troops and killed no less than his own generals, the Ouchi army was still far more than his own in terms of strength only in the rear army, once the Ouchi army was relieved and stabilized, plus the arrival of reinforcements from the Ouchi army. The Kumagai Army had a lot of difficulties if they wanted to expand their gains in a short period of time, and even if they wanted to retreat in one piece.

Knowing that it was time to retreat, Kumagai Takashi glanced at Hirochu Takabo, who had calmed down a little on Yamaguchi Castle, snorted coldly, pulled out a spear stuck in the chest of the Ouchi Army soldier, pointed at Yamaguchi Castle, ran forward a few steps, and shot the bloody spear in his hand towards the castle.

Hirochu Takao, the sister-in-law who was guarding Hirochu Takabao's side, suddenly saw the leading general in the enemy formation in front of him, and he was holding a spear and throwing it fiercely at the head of the city, so he did not hesitate to push Hirochu Takabao hard, pushing Hirochu Takabao to the ground.

Hongzhong Takabao never thought that his sister-in-law would dare to push himself, and suddenly turned around, stunned to see that a spear had pierced through his face and pierced through the back of his head, and the huge impact force even shot his entire head.

Hiroka Takabao, who fell to the ground, only felt a warm liquid suddenly splash on his face, and at the same time, an extremely disgusting salty breath had penetrated through his nose and directly into his heart and lungs, and the blood splattered from the wound poured on his face and body.

Hongzhong Takabao's surprise was really extraordinary, thinking that if it wasn't for his own son pushing it just now, then it was him Hongzhong Takabao who was shot in the head at this moment, not the guard who couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't leave a name for his death.

Suddenly, Hongzhong Takabao's face became pale, pale. Since he was thirteen years old, he personally beheaded two heads in the Battle of Yamashiro in Yoshida County when he was twenty years old, and now he is thirty-five years old, and he has never encountered such a danger as today.

Hongzhong Takabao was very happy, and his gaze at his sister-in-law was much kinder.

Kumagai Takanao smiled coldly, the enemy general at the head of the city was no longer visible, thinking that he had killed the enemy general, brandished the sword in his hand, and slashed and killed a warrior who rushed forward without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and then raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, withdraw." ”

He understands the truth of accepting it when he sees it, no matter how brave and good the Kumagai Army is, it has been fighting for so long, whether it is energy or physical strength, it has reached the limit, once it is entangled, it will be extremely difficult to break out, and it will inevitably be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

He came to grab the credit, and with the credit, it is really the biggest regret in life that he has no life to collect. Kumagai Takanao was not such a stupid person, he immediately organized his men to start charging towards the weak side, and then broke through into the mountains.

Hirochu Takao, who was lying at the head of the city, saw the enemy break through and jump around, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Instead, he shouted loudly: "The enemy has withdrawn." Catch up with me. Chase them down and entangle them, and the lord of the kingdom will immediately come to their aid. ”

Hongzhong Takabao, who hurried two steps, also came to the head of the city, and seeing that the enemy had escaped and wanted to pursue something that was already impossible, he said to Hongzhong Takao: "Taro, you immediately ride to the Chinese army and tell the lord." Let's just say that there is a slight gap in the rear army, it doesn't matter, don't worry, it will catch up soon. ”

Hongzhong Takao originally thought that his father would let him go to ask for help or confess, but who would have thought that it would be a big thing and a small matter, and he was just about to turn around and turn around, and said, "Father, this?!" ”

Hongzhong Takabao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just say so, and then find a no-man's land." Whisper to the lord of the country about the military incident that happened outside Yamaguchi Castle. Don't disturb the morale of the army, go, be careful, return to the rear army as soon as you go, I still have something for you to do. ”

Hiroka Takashi answered and left in a hurry.

Looking at the departing figure of Hirochu Takasu, Hiroaka Takao's face showed a hint of gloom, he knew that this battle with Date Mashiro had been lost from the beginning, and now it was just a struggle before the demise, and it was time to consider a way out for his children and grandchildren.

The generals looked at Hongzhong Longbao with blank eyes, and the voice of Hongzhong Longxu was still rippling in his ears just now, Hongzhong Longbao shook his head and said: "No, no need to chase, gather the fleeing soldiers and horses, and reconcentrate." He understood that if such an enemy of two or three hundred people wanted to catch up with them, it would be either the same elite samurai legion, or several times their number of soldiers and horses, and besides, they would have to surround and annihilate them, and if they didn't do well, they would have to pay a heavy price, which the current Ouchi army could not afford.

After Hongzhong Longbao finished speaking, the atmosphere was obviously relaxed, and all the generals were a little relieved, obviously unwilling to touch that hard bone, and each went to collect the soldiers and horses.

The Chinese army, Ouchi Yoshicho listened to Hongzhong Takao's private reply, his face was gloomy like water, he didn't expect that there would be such a bold person, and he actually rushed to kill the 3,000 internal army with 300 people, and also defeated the 3,000 internal army.

When he heard that it was a team of monsters dressed as bears, Yoshicho Ouchi muttered, "The samurai of the Kumagai family." "He and Mori Takano were brothers, and he knew that the Kumagai clan had an army of pure samurai, and they were very brave, often wearing bear-like helmets and black velvet shawls when they went into battle.

Hongzhong Takabao knows that now is just a struggle before death, Ouchi Yoshicho doesn't know, but he knows better, anyone can surrender, but he can't, once he loses his territory, he will either become a monk incognito, or die.

Now Date Masahiro personally led the army into the Zhou Defense State, conquered the Anhang Mountain City, and now the Lotus Mountain City is in danger, Ouchi Yoshicho sits alone on the tent of the Chinese military camp, and now the situation faced by the Ouchi clan is very serious, and if it is not good, there will be no place to bury.

However, the Ouchi army is not without a chance, at least now, the Ouchi army has a chance, a chance to survive in death, a chance to win in danger, perhaps, this is also the only chance for the Ouchi army to win, defeat the Date army, kill Date Masato.

Once Date Mashiro died, the Date family he created would instantly collapse and disintegrate, and his brave and warlike retainers would immediately fight to steal his inheritance, and the local forces under his subjugation would also rise up to expand their territory.

Once the Date family falls apart, Yoshitaka Ouchi's arrogance has stopped, and he can be eliminated in a battle, and then he can directly take Aki and Iwami, and the Zhongxing of the Ouchi clan will reappear in his hands, and the more I think about it, the more I think it is possible, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that it may be very big.

Of course, opportunities often coexist with risks, and the risks of doing so are also infinite. In the event of defeat, all the chips in Yoshicho Ouchi's hands will be lost, and all the turf will fall into the hands of Date Masaki, who is obviously a gambler, a gambler through and through.

In the 20th year of Astronomy (1551), Ouchi Yoshinaga was able to mobilize only 3,000 troops, and Ouchi Yoshitaka had as many as 20,000 troops in his hands, so he also had a showdown with Ouchi Yoshitaka, expelled Ouchi Yoshitaka, and became the new head of the Ouchi clan.

Now, it's time for a showdown. Whether you win or lose, whether you live or die, it depends on this. Ouchi Yoshicho gave the order, "Continue to advance, and pay close attention to the situation in the Yamashiro area and Lotus Mountain Castle, and return every half an hour." ”

Kuramake Yamajo, when he heard that Kumagai Takanao attacked the rear of the Ouchi army and defeated the enemy, Masahiro frowned slightly, obviously he was a little displeased with Kumagai Takanao's assertiveness, he was a little displeased, he set a trap here in Kurahang Yamajo, just waiting for Ouchi Yoshicho to arrive, once Ouchi Yoshicho retreated, it would be a waste of his previous efforts.

It's not that Zhengheng doesn't want to fight steadily, he understands that the biggest strategy for him is to fight steadily and steadily, consuming Ouchi Yoshicho, but the movement of Kinai is unstable, and once Miyoshi Chokei achieves the final victory, it will be much bigger than in history. Miyoshi Changqing is his biggest enemy, and before colliding with Miyoshi Changqing, it has become a task that must be completed to solve the stable rear of the Ouchi clan and the Niko clan, so he took the risk to personally lead the army to attack the perimeter defense.

Kumagai Takanao's attack, Zhengheng was only slightly dissatisfied, and his face did not show any emotion, and when he learned the news that Ouchi Yoshicho continued to move forward, the corners of his mouth showed a slight hint of ridicule, and said, "Sure enough, he is an out-and-out gambler." I knew that you would definitely choose to fight to the death, I waited for your arrival, well, tell the people below that acting should also be like a little bit, don't let Ouchi Yoshinaga shrink back again, and order Ishikawa Hissataka and Iga Hisaka, let the two of them lead the people of the headquarters to the Yamashiro area to suppress a pinch, and go out of hiding in a circle day and night into Lotus Mountain Castle. ”

After a pause, Masahiro looked in the direction of Yamaguchi Castle from Kurakake Yamajo Castle and said in a low voice, "Ouchi Yoshicho, I don't know what kind of way you will appear, I'm looking forward to it." ”

On June 9 of the first year of Hongzhi (1555), since the fall of Kurahang Mountain Castle six days ago, it was finally the turn of the day of the destruction of Lotus Mountain Castle, under Lotus Mountain Castle, two or three thousand Date troops were arranged, and the trench was full of corpses that began to stink, and the main general Noyama Masaki glanced at the deputy general Akashi Jingqin, covered his nose and said: "It's really stinky enough, the corpses of the Shan's father and son have not been picked out, and the desecration of their corpses makes people know that they are afraid that they will cause the rabbits and foxes of the local wealthy families in Zhou and Chang Prefectures." ”

Thrown in the trench were the corpses of the defenders of Kurahang Mountain Castle, and now their identities were the defenders of Lotus Mountain Castle and the Date Army, and there were some flags with the crests of the two families scattered around them, like hell. (To be continued......)
