"It's done." Suzuki Shigehide, who was standing on the top of the mountain, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tokawa Ichino's army directly breaking through the Hashiba Army's position from the middle. He informed Hanakuma Castle where the Oda Army ambushed.
The Miyoshi family also told them that the Oda army did not have many defenses in the middle and did not leave many ninjas. This important military information. He informed the Miyoshi family of the location of the Oda family's ninja defense zone that he had found out in the past few days, and asked them to either avoid it.
At these locations, one had to send people to kill the ninjas of the Oda family first, and only then did Juga Ichin's miraculous surprise attack take place.
"Inform Your Highness of the situation immediately!" However, Suzuki Shigehide's expression on the surface was very solemn, and he solemnly ordered a ninja of Xiangya, "Tokawa Icun made a surprise attack on the Yushiba Army, and the Yushiba Army has collapsed. Now.
Shihe Yicun and Araki Murashige merged and headed south!"
After the ninja who watched the crow leave, Suzuki Shigehide's expression became a little subtle. He looked around, and then did not speak, but just signaled his men to be on standby. He slowly turned around and turned his attention to the Red Leaf Army and Germany at the foot of the mountain.
Sichuan Army.
After a while, Suzuki Shigehide noticed that the Momiji Army and the Tokugawa Army had begun to take action after receiving the news. The Momiji Army in the northwest had been working hard for most of the day, and at this moment, the entire army suddenly pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on the Matsunaga Army's camp.
The Red Leaf Army put enough pressure on the Matsunaga Army, just to allow the Tokugawa Army to free up a hand to go south for support. However, the Matsunaga Army was obviously aware of the Red Leaf Army's intentions, and fought back with all its strength to the Tokugawa Army, pulling the front line to prevent the Tokugawa Army.
Sichuan troops withdrew.
Seeing the passage of time, the Tokugawa army still could not break away from the contact with the Matsunaga army, and Yu Qiupei was also worried. He sent people up the mountain to pass the order, asking the special company to stop covering Ming Dybei, and immediately went down the mountain to attack Matsunaga Hide.
camp to give the Tokugawa army an opportunity to move south.
"I'm going to hand over to Mr. Charlie. You guys should come down the mountain immediately! I'll be there right away!" After receiving the order, Suzuki Shigehide immediately ordered to his subordinates.
"Sir... if you are not here, who should take command in the battle?" Hearing this, Chang Chang took a puff of cigarette with some embarrassment, and then spit the smoke to the side, "Can't we just send a messenger?"
"I still have a lot of arrangements on the mountain. I have to ask Mr. Charlie to send someone to take over some dangerous positions. I won't be able to explain it clearly to the orderer for a while." Suzuki Shigehide waved his hand without any doubt and signaled to Chang Changchang.
Hurry up and leave, "Time is tight, don't delay. You take the people first. Before I arrive, you will command the special company."
"Yes," Chang Chang said without asking any more questions. He bowed to Suzuki Shigehide and led the others away.
Suzuki Shigehide took a few quick glances and found that there were still a few crow ninjas who were not following the special company, but following him. So, he first pretended to be anxious and ran quickly in the direction of Naru Dybei.
Go. After he detoured into the mountain forest terrain that he was very familiar with as an iron gunner in the Kii Mountains, he immediately changed his direction and ran northwestward. He moved between rocks and woods at a speed of
Ordinary ninjas couldn't catch up. In order to escape faster, he tore off all his equipment and threw them into the bushes.
He ran fast, leaving his battlefield and troops far behind at the other end of the endless forest behind him. He dodged several times in a row and rushed into a cave.
And those who had been waiting in the cave for a long time were none other than Hosokawa Shinyuki and several ninjas from the Miyoshi family.
"Sir Suzuki." Hosokawa Shinyuki stood up in a hurry to greet Suzuki Shigehide, "It must be difficult to escape from the army."
"There is no time to delay, let's leave quickly." Suzuki Shigehide, however, did not be polite to Hosokawa Shinyuki, but urged hurriedly, "While the battlefield is still chaotic, leave here as soon as possible!"
"Sir Suzuki, don't panic, just follow me." Hosokawa Masayuki patted his chest and signaled Suzuki Shigehide not to worry, "I will protect you as you go to see my father."
At the same time, the Yuqiu family's headquarters also received the news.
"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!" A crow ninja was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and rushed to the Yuqiu family's headquarters like crazy. "Suzuki Shigehide ran away! He ran away!"
"What?" Takenaka Shigeharu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately walked over from the sand table, "Are you sure?"
"I and a few people are responsible for monitoring Suzuki Shigehide and other senior officials of the special company. Just now Suzuki Shigehide left the unit and said he was going to hand over the defense area to Mr. Charlie. As a result, he suddenly changed direction and ran into the mountains and forests. In the lower class,
I couldn't catch up and lost him. Judging from the direction he ran, he was probably looking for Miyoshi's house." Crow's ninja looked pale and bowed first to Takenaka Shigeharu, and then bowed deeply to Amano Keitoku.
, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness."
"It's really not enough..." Takenaka Shigeharu was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He glared at Amano Keitoku, but this was not the time to argue, "Who will command the special company now?"
"Your Majesty, I am Lord Chang Chang." Crow's ninja reported truthfully.
"That's also Suzuki Shigehide..." Takenaka Shigeharu's expression tightened, and he turned to Yu Qiuping and said, "Please terminate the mission of the special forces company immediately and control them first. The situation is already so critical now, if the special forces
If there is any abnormal movement in the company, it will be out of control."
"Half of the soldiers in the special company are ours, and only half are Kii's. They can't stir up trouble." Yu Qiuping comforted Takenaka Shigeharu for a few words, and then followed his advice, "Kelong, you lead
With my command arrow, immediately take over the special company and ask them to put down their weapons in the camp and stand by."
"Yes." Sen Kelong knew that the matter was urgent and immediately took the order and left.
"I misjudged the wrong person. I thought Mr. Suzuki was not a treacherous person." Takenaka Shigeharu also bowed deeply to Yu Qiuping, "I didn't expect that he would have such wolfish ambitions. If I had known this, I would definitely not have included him.
The troops are gone. Please punish me, Your Highness."
"I don't blame you." Yu Qiuping patted Takenaka Shigeharu apologetically on the shoulder, "It was my idea to transfer the special forces company to the battlefield at this time. I can't help you."
"I can't help you." Yu Qiuping repeated what he just said, and then changed the subject, "Let's forget about these for now and continue the attack! Give the Tokugawa family a chance to go south for support!"
At three quarters noon on November 18, west of Hanakuma Castle.
The Oda family's ambush troops who received Hashiba Hideyoshi's urgent message were desperately rushing out of their hidden ambush and rushed to Hanakuma Castle for support. Hanakuma Castle is located in the southern part of the Rokko Mountains.
Once Hanakuma Castle, the core hub of the road, is captured by Tokawa Ichigen and Araki Murushige, the Oda family's army will be trapped on the coastal mountain road from Akashi Castle to Hanakuma Castle, and they will be beaten to death like beating dogs with closed doors.
There is even a risk that the entire army will be wiped out. At this time, it is no longer necessary to ambush or not. The right way is to quickly defend Hanakuma Castle.
As an ambush, Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Toshiie, Takigawa Kazumasushi and Ikeda Tsuneki rushed to the west castle town of Hanakuma Castle, but found that the north castle town of Hanakuma Castle was already in flames. Hanakuma Castle is a small town, with only Honmaru and Ninomaru. At this moment
The walls of the northern section of Ninomaru are also covered with flags of the Sanuki clan. The Sanuki clan is continuing to attack the north gate of Honmaru, while Araki Murashige's troops are circling from outside the city towards the west city, seemingly trying to stop them.
The reinforcements of the Oda family were cut off, but they were just hit by the Oda army.
"Hit them!" Maeda Toshiie did not hesitate, and immediately called for the troops to rush towards Araki Murashige. At the same time, he shouted to the messenger: "I will open up space! Let Takikawa-sama and Hengxing enter the city quickly!"
However, the number of the Araki army was greater than the people brought by Maeda Toshiie. The Araki army quickly spread out to the north of Maeda Toshiie's headquarters and surrounded Maeda Toshiie's back. Takigawa Kazumasu and Ikeda Tsuneaki arrived later and hurriedly
He led his army to protect the rear of Maeda Toshiie and fought fiercely with the Araki army northwest of Hanakuma Castle.
"Trouble." Akechi Mitsuhide saw that all the friendly forces were involved in Araki Murashige, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Then she would have to rely on her own people to rush to Hanakuma Castle to fight against the Sanuki people. She was not sure. But.
There was nothing she could do if she wasn't sure. She had no choice now and Hanakuma Castle must not be lost.
"Let the defenders open the west gate and let us enter the city to assist in the defense!" Akechi Mitsuhide asked the flag bearer to wave the flag at the Oda family defenders on the western wall of Ninomaru, signaling him to open the door. The Oda family defenders looked at Akechi Mitsuhide
The troops glanced at each other, greeted each other and rushed down to the city. However, the city gate was opened after a while.
"It's already this time and I'm still dawdling." Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, "What should I do if I almost miss the opportunity to fight..."
However, as the west gate of Hanakuma Castle was opened wide, Akechi Mitsuhide understood why it would take a while to open the door. Because it was not the Oda family's defenders who opened the door, they all fell to the side of the gate in a mess. Open the door.
Yes, it's the Hatamoto cavalry from Tokawa Issun! They came all the way from Ninomaru, killed the guards at the west gate, and captured the west gate.
"Follow me!" Shihe Yicun roared, holding his Fangtian painted halberd, leading the banner cavalry out of the doorway and heading straight for Akechi Mitsuhide's troops. Akechi's army was in a hurry.
, it is still in a marching formation, who would have thought that those who rushed out of the city gate were actually enemies! The vanguard of the Mingzhi Army had no time to resist, and was rushed by Shihe Yicun's banner cavalry and collapsed. Shihe Yicun's follow-up troops seemed to
The attack on Hanakuma Castle was postponed, but a steady stream of troops circled from the north to the west of Ninomaru Castle, filed out of the west gate, and rushed towards Akechi Mitsuhide. The Akechi army was retreating steadily, and many Sanuki troops
Being able to attack the troops of Maeda Toshiie, Takigawa Kazumasu and Ikeda Tsuneaki from behind, the entire front was in danger of collapse.
"Ask for help from the lord!" Maeda Toshiie has realized that something is wrong, "Quick! Quick!" bdshare();
