The Fu Cannon mentioned by Xiaoyao Jingyi immediately made Matsuda Kenhide understand the principle of the iron cannon. It turned out to be an iron ball fired based on the Fu Dao method. No wonder it has the power of the "Eye of God". But after understanding it, Matsuda Kenhide
The original thought of "Can Yingzhou imitate it?" was extinguished.
After ten years of fighting with the Qingqiu Army, everyone knows that talismans are unique to the Ming Dynasty. If you want to learn them, you must be trained in the Ming Dynasty. If you are not granted a title, you will naturally not be able to use the talismans. Even if you capture the iron cannon on the battlefield,
, it’s just a pile of scrap metal.
While waiting, he asked again: "How can Mingshi speak our Yingzhou dialect? Your name is somewhat similar to that of our Yingzhou people."
Xiaoyao Jing smiled and said: "The Xiaoyao family is a famous family in the Ming Dynasty. They practice Xiaoyao Taoism. My Taoist name is Jingyi. As for Yingzhou dialect, I have studied it for two years."
Matsuda Kenhide nodded as if he understood, and just as he was about to ask again, Kumamoto Kazukuma had already arrived. The powerful palace minister waved a bat fan and invited Xiaoyao Shizuichi: "Please come with me, envoy Ming."
This time it was Xiaoyao Jingyi's turn to be surprised. Kumamoto Kazuki spoke Mandarin with a Yingtian accent.
Matsuda Kenhide watched them leave, thinking about the fufa cannon, and how to avoid it on the battlefield. After a while, he couldn't think clearly, so he put aside this idea and resigned himself to fate.
Bar.
Not long after, he stood on the crenellation of Hakone Ishime and saw on the seaside to the east of the city. Kumamoto Kazukuma and several other priests and members of the Koizumi family of the Hojo family accompanied Mingshi Xiaoyao Shizuichi who had left the city at some unknown time.
I was pointing in the fields, and the seedlings in those fields had grown very tall.
I don’t know how many of these seedlings will survive tomorrow’s battle. What a pity, Matsuda thought silently.
When Kumamoto Kazuma returned, Matsuda Kenhide saw that the Ming envoys were still busy in the fields. Another ship even came from the sea, carrying more than a dozen monks from the Ming army, and they spread out to search in eight directions.
.
So he asked: "Master Quan Gongsi, what is the Ming army going to do?"
Kumamoto Kazuma said: "The envoys came to discuss battlefield issues. They proposed that we need a landing place for us to free up. The landing place has been marked out for them, and now they are searching and checking to see if we are here.
ambush."
Matsuda Kenhide sighed. Although this news was a bit awkward, it was not difficult to understand. If you want people to go ashore to fight you, of course you have to set aside a place for them to land and form a formation. Otherwise, how can you fight?
Kumamoto Kazuma suddenly asked Matsuda Kenhide in a low voice: "Kenhide, are you ready?"
Matsuda Kenhide immediately said: "I have realized that I must die!"
Kumamoto Kazuma shook his head: "It shouldn't be like this."
Matsuda Kenhide was stunned: "I am stupid, please give me some advice from Mr. Quan Gongji."
Kumamoto tilted his head and thought for a moment, then patted Matsuda Kenhide with his small bat fan: "Save your life, this is what you should do most in tomorrow's battle. Only by saving your life can you have a future."
"But……"
"No, Xianxiu, if you really love Yingzhou, don't think about giving up your life easily. Only by living can you see the prosperous world that Yingzhou is about to come! Xianxiu, promise me!"
Under the starry sky, Matsuda Kenhide leaned under the crenel with his eyes wide open. In the sea breeze, he kept trying to think about what the great priest Kumamoto said about the prosperous world, and then fell asleep in a daze.
At dawn, Matsuda Kenhide was kicked in the butt by the bandaged Inomata-sama: "Matsuda, get up! Take your people to the castle to get food. I'll give you half an hour. After the meal, go to Nime Town to form a team.
!”
Matsuda Kenhide got up and said: "Kuniken-sama, my duty is to guard Hakone..."
Inomata Kuniken interrupted him: "Someone will replace you, don't talk nonsense, remember, if you are late for half an hour, you will be killed immediately. This is a military order!"
Matsuda Kenhide immediately arranged for people to bring two large baskets of rice balls from the castle, distributed them to every ashigaru, and ate them with water in a bamboo tube. After eating, he urged everyone to rush to Nime Town.
Kojiro held a bamboo spear and put on a black rattan armor. He looked at Matsuda Kenhide nervously: "Sir, are we going to go into battle?"
Matsuda Kenhide sighed: "You are the only one left in your family. When you go into battle, follow me closely and don't run around." He turned around and shouted to a strong young man: "Taro, let each team put out the flag.
!”
The black flag was fluttering on the city. Matsuda Kenhide took the 260 spearmen Ashigaru who were ready to fight and descended the city wall. They marched along the base of the wall towards Nime Town. Along the way, they met many queues of their peers and fought.
With red, white, cyan, yellow, black and other flags, they are all the Ashigaru regiment of the Hojo family, and they are also the famous five-color flag in Kanto.
Matsuda Kenhide's Lancer Ashigaru is part of the third banner unit of the Black Flag. His own job is the Black Flag of the Hojo family. His direct boss is Ashigaru General Kuniken Inomata.
When arriving at Futame Town, Matsuda Kenhide was summoned by Inomata Kuninori to receive the mission. His flag corps was arranged on the left wing of the black bei, and the eight flag corps of the black bei were lined up in the Ashigaru Corps.
The second line is behind the blue ashigaru with swords and shields.
Inomata Kuniken patted his head: "Matsuda, the second banner team's Xihe banner was killed by the Ming army's God's Eye the day before yesterday. I don't have anyone on hand now. Their second banner team is also under your control. You
Just listen to my military orders."
After waiting for a long time in Futame Town, Matsuda Kenhide took this opportunity to call the six small flag captains of the second flag team to his side, asked about the current situation of the flag team, explained the method of conveying orders, and hurriedly led them
Followed the first banner team out of the city.
They left the city through the south gate and headed east along the corner of the Hakone Stone Wall. After passing the south city wall, it suddenly became clear that the agreed battlefield was two miles ahead.
All the ashigaru in the queue, without exception, stared at the Ming army monks on the edge of the battlefield. Those Ming army monks looked back at leisure, especially the Ming envoy Xiaoyao Jingyi, who had met once before, and he also saw the commanding team.
Kenhide Matsuda nodded and smiled at him.
Matsuda Kenhide subconsciously stopped, bowed his head to Xiaoyao Jingyi in return, and then urged his ashigaru to follow the queue.
After walking two miles to the northeast, the queue stopped, quickly faced the sea, and each team entered the designated area.
The battlefield of the joint battle was very large. What Matsuda Kenhide could see was only the first half of Goshiki's military formation. In front of him were two rows of ashigaru holding bucklers, and behind him diagonally were three rows.
Archer Ashigaru. He didn't see the figure of the head of the family, Uji Nobu, but he saw the Ujitaka family member riding a horse, his body tightly protected by thick armor. He was surrounded by several people with five-color flags on their backs.
The famous flag officer is always ready to convey his military orders.
