The marching ranks were silent, with nothing but the sound of hurried footsteps. The iron gunners on the sharp corners of the bastions on both sides were still shooting at the ranks, but the soldiers who were shot fell after they fell.
They were all silent
Screaming at this time is disrespectful to the countless corpses of their brothers at their feet.
At this moment, the soldiers of Ming Dybei are stepping on the sea of ​​​​blood covered with the corpses of Tokiwa Bei and Yushu Bei soldiers, climbing up quickly. The softness they step on is the still-uncold remains of their brothers.
Every footprint left behind is engraved with countless pain and anger. The dead souls under their feet also have families, and they all have wives and children waiting for them to return. But they gave up their family ties, their futures, and their lives.
, gave up everything and turned into stairs at their feet, just so that the brothers who would come later could step on them to climb the fortress and fulfill their last wish for them - to avenge His Highness Hongye!
The steps of Ming Dybei have never been so heavy, and they have never carried such heavy sustenance; they have never been so light, because every second cannot be wasted, and wasting time means more brothers will die. Every step forward, I feel in my heart
The grief and anger are constantly accumulating. All these ongoing emotions were released the moment they stepped onto the wall, turning into angry roars, not only for the soldiers themselves, but also for the two thousand soldiers at their feet.
The dead soul shouted:
"For His Highness Hongye!"
·
The elite direct-controlled samurai of the Oda Army at the top of the city clearly have many times the numerical advantage, the equipment advantage, and the fire support on the edges of the wings, but they are retreating quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not because of anything else, just because
Their morale is on the verge of collapse.
Amidst the hoarse roars of "For Momiji-sama", the swords struck by Mingdy's warriors seemed to turn into the shadow of swords and swords - the samurai of the Oda family seemed to be able to see countless volunteers from Maple Leaf Mountain City roaring and rushing towards them.
, even if the head is broken and bloody, they still attack with nails and teeth; as if they saw the soldiers of Tokiwa Bei and Yushu Bei rushing in with bare hands, pretending to be in the bloody wind; as if they could hear thousands of people
They roared "For Momiji-sama" in unison, carrying a hatred that could crush any strong will, and attacked with overwhelming force. The samurai of the Oda Army seemed to be in a lonely boat in the vast sea of ​​​​Red Leaves.
They could be overturned by waves of blood at any time. Even though they were outnumbered, they seemed to be surrounded by enemy forces. There were enemies in front, back, left and right, and the corpses under their feet wanted to bite their ankles. The despair and helplessness at that moment was astonishing.
It was just as heartbreaking as when they were defeated by the volunteers' desperate counterattack in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
It wasn't just who dropped their weapons first, but the retreat spread like a tide. This direct-controlled group that had just been defeated in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle was originally arranged by Oda Nobunaga because he was not optimistic about their will. Oda Nobunaga felt that
On the fortress where there would be no fighting, who would have thought that they would encounter the fiercest attack by the Hongye Army. The roar of "For Hongye-sama" that kept blasting in the ears was just carried by the wind, and it made these Oda family samurai
I was frightened out of my wits, this was a real panic.
·
"Lord, retreat quickly!"
At this time, the members of the Oda family on the command platform in the center of the bastion saw that the resistance on the wall of the bastion collapsed in an instant. Everyone was anxious, urging Oda Nobunaga to quickly escape from this about to fall.
Move from bastion to other bastions.
"With an army of 400,000 to fight 60,000 people, less than an hour after the war started, more than a thousand soldiers rushed to move the horses?" Oda Nobunaga laughed a little twistedly, punched the pillar hard, and was faintly shocked. There was the sound of bones breaking, "Yu is going to be the laughing stock of the ages!"
"Go to the west city bastion, retreat to the next bastion north of the central bastion, and reorganize the defense line. This will also save the ambushers from waiting. The Red Leaf Army will not take a detour. They will all be able to come out of their hiding places and do the work. Prepare for the attack and wait for my order. While the entire Red Leaf Army is engaged in attacking the fortress, take over this formation!" After Oda Nobunaga said a few words, he went to communicate between the fortresses. Walking through the passage, "By the way, I'm sending an order to the army to behead all the rubbish that retreated from this fortress in public display!"
·
When Oda Nobunaga's Yongle Domma Seal moved from the central bastion to the West City bastion in embarrassment, the Red Leaf Army's position burst into cheers, while the positions of the Oda Army and the Tenkaichi Army were filled with dead silence. .
"What a strong...what a strong soldier."
The world's great names stood on the command platform of the bastion, watching in stunned silence as the Red Leaf Army broke into the bastion in an almost brutal manner and rushed down the bastion where Oda Nobunaga's main formation was located. They were so shocked that they couldn't even speak. It's no good. The Kanto daimyo who fought against Yu Qiuping all looked ashen - they attacked the red leaf army's fortress with complete equipment, but except for the corpses lying on the ground, they couldn't even cause more than three-digit damage to the red leaf army. The battle was defeated with casualties; but when the situation was reversed, the Hongye Army attacked the bastion armed to the teeth with bare hands, broke through Oda Nobunaga's main formation in just one hour, and beat Oda Nobunaga to the point where he moved in embarrassment. How powerful is this? And those Northeastern daimyo who had never personally faced off against the Red Leaf Army were surprised when they saw the Red Leaf Army cleanly and devastatingly kill the Oda Army, which they considered to be a first-rate force. Speechless.
"Who is the commander on the opposite side?" Yoshimitsu Mogami looked at the red flag flying high in confusion.
Hearing this, Date Terumune picked up the telescope he bought when he came to Kyoto last time, awkwardly adjusted the focus a few times, and finally focused on the person under the horse seal.
"One-armed...should be the young master of the Yuqiu family, the current family governor Yu Qiu Shang."
"He protruded from the city?" Nanbu Harumasa exaggeratedly glanced at the siege outside Maple Leaf Mountain City, and then at the red flag, "How did he do it?"
"That's the samurai who personally enlisted the military god Kenshin. Previously, thousands of soldiers and militiamen held Maple Leaf Mountain City for many days in front of our world's armies. Now, when they go out to fight in the city, they have defeated General Oda Youda in a state of embarrassment. How can it be difficult for such a brave man to stand out from this city?" Tsugaru Weixin seemed to have become a fan of Yu Qiu Shang, and he sincerely praised, "Like father, like son, it is true that a hero comes from a young man."
·
However, Yu Qiu Shang, who was praised by the world's great names, was not at all pleased at this moment. Instead, he looked at the Oda family's defense line with a solemn expression, thinking about something. After Ming Dybei made a breakthrough, the officers of the Hongye Army unanimously asked Yu Qiu to Shang threw more soldiers into the opening opened by Ming Dybei, and penetrated the entire Oda family's fortress defense line in one fell swoop.
Oda Nobunaga's modified version of the bastion was a veritable dilettante because it had not been used in actual combat. He connected all the bastions together, which not only made his troops lose their ability to counterattack
The room for attack also makes this series of more than a dozen bastions both prosperous and humiliating. As long as you break through one of the bastions, you can fight through the passage between the bastions and attack the other bastions from the inside.
, and there is no longer a need to storm from outside the fort.
However, Yu Qiu Shang refused this order and only arranged for Xiliu Bei and the special company to follow up with Ming Dy Bei. He still kept the other reserve teams firmly at hand.
"Your Highness, what are you hesitating about?" The impatient Yoshioka Katsumasa couldn't bear it anymore. He originally thought that Yu Qiu Shang would be much braver than Yu Qiuping, but at this moment, he didn't know why but he was conservative, "The Oda family
The bastion has all our soldiers surrounded inside, and it is impossible to get out of the city to counterattack. We don't need to leave anyone to defend our formation."
"No, the main force of the Oda family should not be in the fortress." Yu Qiu Shang shook his head, but his words surprised the officers in the tent.
"I just asked Ranmaru to count for me. When our reserve team attacked, there were only four artillery pieces firing on the bastion we attacked. If we use this artillery density to estimate the entire defense line... this
The total number of artillery pieces on the bastion defense line is estimated to be only about fifty. However, when they attacked Maple Leaf Mountain City a few days ago, there were clearly more than two hundred artillery pieces. This means that there are one hundred and fifty cannons hidden in other places.
, Correspondingly, there must be a large army ambushing elsewhere."
Yu Qiu Shang's words made the officers fall into deep thought.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Kitahata Kageie looked at Yu Qiu Shang, while Yu Qiu Shang looked at the Yodo River in the north, and slowly raised his hand to point to the other side.
"There are a large number of hills and forests on the other side of the Yodogawa River where troops can ambush. Immediately send scout horses to reconnoiter that direction." Yu Qiushang's keen battlefield sense allowed him to first detect the location of Oda Nobunaga's ambush, and then he pointed out more than the entire army in one breath.
Half of the total number of 14,000 soldiers, "please ask His Highness Chozong, His Highness Mihao, Wanjun Bei, Jincao Bei, Xinghuo Bei, Tianhe Bei, to form an array facing the north immediately, and beware of the ambush coming from the Yodogawa Crossing Bridge."
"
"That hill is also very suspicious. Maybe the Oda family's team is ambushing them." Yu Qiu Shang glanced at the quiet and scary hill again. The green trees on it were so shadowy that he couldn't tell if there was an ambush. "
When forming the formation, keep a distance from the hill and allow the maximum range of the twelve-pounder cannon."
·
"Good guy, this reaction and prediction are no weaker than Hongye. If Qi Qiwan had this level, I would have left the world to him with confidence and gone to Korea. It's a pity that the child is already dead.
"Oda Nobunaga, who had just re-established the horse seal, was about to order an ambush attack when he discovered that Yu Qiu Shang had stopped investing in the fortress. Instead, he had allocated more than half of his troops to form an array facing the north, and would rather give up.
The location must be favorable and should be far away from the hills where the Oda family's Otsutsu team is ambushing.
"That's all, let's defeat a hundred tricks with one force. 130,000 soldiers beat you and 26,000 can't find a reason to lose." Oda Nobunaga laughed dryly, as if he remembered the hatred of losing his son to Yu Qiu Shang, "
Send an order, the Otsutsu team should not waste their efforts, just wait. All the ambush troops will immediately go out and attack the red leaf army's main formation south. Then let Kawajiri Hidetaka, Kanamori Nagaon and Kamaojigo in the bastion lead the troops directly under the Saijo bastion.
