The sky was clear, a few goshawks were hovering in the sky, and the bright sunlight was shining on the green leaves. The fighting on the battlefield came to an end for the time being, and those who could retreat on the Maori side had already retreated, and those who could not escape were either cut off their heads or taken prisoners by the Date family. Under the sky, dozens of soldiers of the Date family walked back and forth on the corpse pile with knives, kicking the corpses that seemed to be intact from time to time to make sure that they were really dead, as long as they heard a little moaning, they would walk over, distinguish their identities, and once they confirmed that they were not their own family, they would raise their hands to make up for it.

The rest of the soldiers of the Date family began to assemble again, and Zhengheng rode his war horse to check the soldiers who participated in the battle, and turned around and shouted loudly: "Are there any hungry stomachs, polish the blades in your hands, from this moment on, until the night comes, the martial arts of the Date family will be decided in the Takayagawa Gorge, we have achieved an unprecedented victory in the Takayagawa Gorge for the first time, and now God has given us such a good opportunity, the victory will definitely belong to us." Everyone put on straw sandals and tie their leggings! His words were full of confidence, like a man of God who never knew weariness.

The fierce battle outside the Higashi-Ebara that had just ended basically wiped out the right wing of Maori Motojo and the elite of the first formation of thousands of people, only Maori Mototo led the remaining 1,500 soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to withdraw from the battlefield, and the Date family only lost less than 100 people, for an army of up to 7,000 people, the loss of 100 people did not hurt the vitality, but the Maori Yuan side suffered heavy casualties before and after, if it were not for Maori Yuan's past obscenity and hard work, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

It has been more than half a month since the Anyi army brought by Mori Yuan left his hometown, and he lost his troops in the battle of Takayagawa Gorge and his morale plummeted, so he originally thought that he could reach an agreement with Date and return home earlier. What I didn't expect was that Maori Yuan would suddenly attack while the peace was being negotiated. During the night attack, it was counterattacked, and it was hesitant to be in a dilemma, and finally it was defeated by the Date army without any resistance, which is not surprising at all.

At the beginning, Mori Moto was still thinking about consuming Kumagai Nobunao and did not take the opportunity to attack in a big way. Probably because of this reason, seeing that there was no way to save it, he didn't come to the rescue, and directly withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, almost all of Maori's main formations were in the middle army, while the right flank and the forward were the private soldiers of other powerful countrymen who followed with them. This was confirmed at the time of the battle.

The generals on the right flank were much luckier than Nobunao Kumagai of the forward battalion, and he broke through with his men when it was not right and escaped alone, but almost all the generals he brought with him were left on the battlefield, and most of the generals who surrendered on their knees were almost all the generals on the right flank. The forward battalion had already been killed and wounded during the siege, and finally Kumagai Nobunao had to be captured under the siege of Nobunao Kumagai, which became the final episode.

Zheng Heng shouted loudly, he smiled slightly, and gradually had a kind of self-sacrificing momentum on his body, and every time he passed in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but show an expression of worship. Yeshan Yichao, Taoshan Hengxin and others galloped over with excited faces, and Yeshan Yichao said loudly while half-kneeling in front of Zhengheng: "Your Highness." Mori Motosaku's forces have stopped in the Takayagawa Gorge, and it looks like they want to regain our glory. โ€

Zheng Heng laughed mockingly: "Ambush?!" Haha, his best choice now is to flee back to An Yiguo as soon as possible, otherwise he will never be able to go back. At the end of the night, the army of Maori Yuan has been exhausted, and now it is really self-defeating to want to fight us. โ€

Since the siege began fiercely at midnight, Maori Yuan's subordinates were already sleepy. In addition, there were heavy casualties outside the Higashigahara Formation, and morale fell to the bottom, and now everyone wants to leave this ghost place as much as possible. Recuperate. But what he never expected was that Mori Moto had not given up the idea of defeating the Date army in one fell swoop in the Takayagawa Gorge, putting the army in a dangerous situation and would be pursued by the Date army at any time.

Regarding Maori Yuan's abnormal expression, Zhengheng couldn't figure out his true intentions for a while, and he discussed it repeatedly with Noyama Masatomo and others. I never understood the intention of the Mori Yuan to be stationed in the Takayagawa Gorge. The only thing they could think of was that Mao Liyuan wanted to copy the tactics of the last battle of the Takayagawa Gorge, but the Takayagawa Gorge had already been unrecognizable after the last burning, and there was no possibility of burning, and there must be something to burn when burning.

Mori had clearly had other plans, and the series of casualties made Mori Yuan unforgettable, and he knew that only a victory could end this damned war.

As if they had not seen the Maori soldiers, the Date army was still deploying the army in a step-by-step manner, and the soldiers gradually arranged their formation according to the arrangement of the war drums. Fighting in the canyon, the gun array, which did not have much room for maneuver, was placed in the center, Ueno Masatsuna led a thousand sword soldiers to the forefront, and Katayama Shiro Bei carried the banner of Masahiro and a thousand soldiers to suppress the formation.

The drumbeat of the advance finally sounded in anticipation, and Ueno Masatsune, with his fierce mouth and wide eyes, glared at the enemy in front of him and began to slowly move his steps, neither fast nor slow, his steps were tough and steady, and the sound of his steps gradually changed from chaotic to neat. Team Qi is a must as a traverser of the golden finger, political balance is no exception, in the battle, the neat pace can often bring a huge shock, give their own courage and enemy deterrence.

Mao Liyuan's face was pale and his eyes were shocked, he was far from expecting that the Date Army would have such a strong army, and his heart couldn't help but be even more bumpy, but he still made a decision immediately, and shouted loudly: "Iron cannon ready!" โ€

Ueno Masatsuna didn't seem to hear Maori Moto's shouting, and suddenly raised his sword and skirt. Ben Nuo suburb Yong Yu Mirage Jia Mei Mu Cockroach Stretch Si ใ‚ก

"Kill!" Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the black pressure rushed to kill, and the black dust rose from the ground under their feet, and the smoke and dust after the last burning had not completely dissipated, and they killed the Maori army like a whirlwind.

At this moment, with a short order from the Maori army, hundreds of iron cannon fires rang out in the formation, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 officers and men of the Date Army who were charging fell down. However, it did not stop the charge of the Lower Date Army.

The history of Maori Yuan's use of iron cannons is much stronger than that of the half-hung Zhengheng, although Zhengheng knows many examples of warfare in later generations, and can say that the head is the way. But when it was really time to arrange the troops, he was blinded, and the iron cannon could only rely on Tsuda Muneki's father to smuggle, and there was no way to mass-produce it. Gunpowder was even more lacking. Mao Liyuan took advantage of Tao Qingxian's rebellion and took the opportunity to get in touch with the Otomo clan, and he brought in a lot of iron cannons, and he was trained to be a three-stage shooting training. The first row of firing was over, and immediately retreated. The second platoon immediately stepped forward and continued to shoot.

Even so. The iron cannons of this era were not as widely used as those of later generations, and the power and distance could not be guaranteed, and the environmental conditions were even more harsh.

Mao Liyuan did not expect to be able to defeat the Date army in one fell swoop with iron cannons, but only wanted to delay the attack of the Date army, but after the smoke cleared, the Date army did not pause for a moment. Hundreds of people with a fast impact had already rushed to the front of the battle, shouting loudly and all kinds of national curses and wedged in.

Ueno Masatsu did not allow his name to be reported, and the sword in his hand kept moving, and the thousands of soldiers who used the sword were the elite of the Date army, and the hundreds of people at the front of the rush were the elite of the elite, these people were brave and good at fighting, and the equipment was even better. The Ida family does not have many copper mines, and copper plate armor is the focus of equipping these soldiers. Plate armor is simple to make, much stronger than foot tools, of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, the weight is several times that of bamboo and wood zuรฒ foot tools, often can not fight for a long time, but it will be a sharp weapon for charging into battle.

The battle made the iron artillery array, which Maori Yuan was proud of, suffer a big loss, and more than 100 people were killed and injured by two consecutive shots, most of which were minor injuries, and only some unlucky people who were unprotected could be fatally injured by shooting through the face door. The others were mostly minor injuries, and as long as they were healed a little, there was not much to do.

The appearance of plate armor immediately became a nightmare for the Maori army, and they barely moved during the battle of the East Ehara formation, only a few charged in the final encirclement battle, and the rest of the people were all recuperating. Now the exhausted Maori army is like a huge sharp blade, and the Maori army is so hard that it is overwhelmed, and the casualties are heavy.

With the advantage of the body and the protection of the plate armor, the Date army rushed to kill the past like a whirlwind, and Ueno Masatsuna was even more extraordinary, he only cared about fighting, sweeping all the enemies in front of him like a whirlwind. Thousands of blood-soaked sword-wielding soldiers smashed through the Maori army like a sharp blade, scattering the Maori army to the ground, so that the Maori army almost lost its fighting spirit and began to flee in all directions.

Maori Moto's face was pale and gloomy, and he knew that the only way to hope for a miracle was to defeat him.

The outcome was decided, Zhengheng clenched his fists, the hot gaze in his single eye, his mouth opened slightly, and he waved his arms several times, as if he was in an abnormal excitement. At this moment, Miyahara Tanbamori, who was ordered to stay behind, rushed over in a panic, his face was pale, and he was out of breath, and said: "Report, according to the news from the detectives, the combined forces of Mori and Murakami have boarded the 6 from Mizushima Beach last night, and are advancing from Mt. Ohira along the Takaliang River to Koyama Castle, and Matsuda and Urakami seem to have merged and are assembling in Akoho. โ€

"Maori and Murakami's coalition army has landed 6?" In an instant, a hint of wolf bรจi flashed across Zheng Heng's face, and he once again glanced at the battlefield that was in the midst of a fierce battle, and his gaze became more and more cold, "In this way, Mao Li Yuan is waiting for the news of the attack of the navy, but what I didn't expect is that they will fail so quickly." โ€

Zhengheng shouted loudly: "Kusama Four Guards! Seeing that the Kusama four guards had arrived, he immediately ordered: "You should go out at once, from Ebara Village to the gathering place of the entire territory of Bichu, and spread the good news that you have defeated Mori Motosho, and you must keep everyone in the belief that you will win." โ€

After the Kusama Four Guards scrambled out, Masahiro once again issued an order: "Atsutaro Kiyokawa, Yajiro Matsushima, Kogoro Iwase, the three of you take your cavalry to Koyama Castle and hand over Kumagai Nobunao to Kobayakawa Takakei, I think he will make the right decision." โ€

After speaking, Zhengheng laughed out loud. Once the good news here spreads, whether it is Mori, Murakami's coalition forces, Matsuda, Urakami, or Niko Haruhisa, who is eyeing the 6th, will think twice. Moreover, it can make the people of China firmly believe that the winner must be the political balance. (To be continued......)
