198. The cheap soldier

What should come, come back sooner or later. Many things seem accidental, but in fact they are inevitable.

At noon, Hideyoshi's team was about to attack the top of the mountain, and I could even clearly see the face of the enemy's forward - it was a red face due to anger and fear. They experienced a difficult and struggling morning and threw nearly 7,000 corpses on the hillside, and then climbed to a position twenty or thirty meters away from our position.

The stones on the mountain are almost thrown out. Due to continuous shooting, the barrel of the musket is overheated, and there is too much ash filling, and there has been several explosions. I know that hand-to-hand combat is coming!

So I raised my musket and shouted: "Last round of shooting! The musketeer retreated!"

A gunshot sounded almost at the same time on the top of the mountain, which sounded like a dense clatter of a timer, and it was like a strafing shot. The enemy fell down a large area, while Shiro and Suzuki Shigehide began to retreat almost at the same time, retreating towards the second position they had chosen last night.

There is a highland with huge rocks. Standing there, you can overlook the top of the mountain, there should be many shooting opportunities. However, in this case, both sides are intertwined, and once they are not accurate, it is easy to accidentally hurt their own people. Therefore, the number of gunmen qualified to shoot suddenly decreased sharply, and only less than fifty can they carry out such relatively accurate sniping!

I thought about it and took the gun back. In the final analysis, this was not my war, and I had no reason to fight for it. So I retreated to the large stone in the second position, put the barrel on the top of the stone, took out the strip as quickly as possible, cleaned the barrel to prevent the explosion, and then loaded the projectile again!

Come up! Without the threat of musketeers, the enemy's warriors quickly rushed to the top of the mountain! Sakuma Masaru's team immediately came forward consciously! From their shouts, I could even hear an indescribable excitement!

After fighting for the whole morning, these fierce generals and soldiers had no other room to play except to throw a few stones, and they were already very anxious! Is the enemy rushing up at this time? It is the best time for them to play!

For a moment, a bloody battle began on the hill! Hiding behind, I kept firing and shooting, each shot would take away a life, while my thoughts drifted farther and farther away.

Do they really have no sense of fear? In such a cold weapon era, when the swords and flesh are splattered, blood is splattered, and people who have never met each other and have no hatred swings each other, and may have blood splattered on the spot in the next moment. How can we not be afraid?

I think there may be several situations. One is that you are afraid of death, but there is no way. When you are in the formation, you will be afraid and not afraid. It is said that the more timid you are, the faster you die, it is better to grit your teeth and fight!

Some are probably born bold and have a relatively indifferent attitude towards death. They pursue a passion and pleasure of blood and fire. They love war. They do not know anything except war and have no interest in anything.

Just like Sakuma Masaru, I clearly heard a great excitement from his shouting of spear every time he stabbed a spear! He was enjoying this feeling of fighting and bloodshed!

In fact, such people are in all ages. In "The Years of Passion", Shi Guangrong's various discomforts after the end of the war were caused by this obsession with war? Although the times have become peaceful, he is thinking about how to fight every day. I think they are the same type of people, enjoy the war! Enjoy the excitement!

But I am not like this type. I don’t like war. The reason why I participate in war must be that I have a bigger goal to achieve than war. If I have room for choice, I will definitely choose other ways to solve the problem instead of such fierce fighting!

But at this time I had no choice. I could only shoot the enemy one by one. This is my mission and the only way to survive!

The enemy has surrounded him from all sides, and Sakuma Katsuma's team has gradually been flattened and lengthened from a certain formation, and finally formed a battlefield line with the enemy!

Time seemed to be still at this moment, and there were endless shouts of killing, tearing of weapons and bodies, and crying of wounded soldiers and disabled people! All of this was like a tragic concerto, hitting my chest hard! I don’t know when all this began or ended, as if it was eternal, making people suffer!

As time goes by, Sakuma Masaru's battle circle began to slowly shrink. After all, the enemy has an absolute advantage in military strength. The longer the front line, the more unfavorable it is for us. Only by retracting the fist can we better attack and defense, which is more conducive to long-term combat.

I looked back at the back mountain and seemed to be dusty. In ancient military strategy such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, it was said that when the infantry phalanx advances, it will carry such dust that soars into the sky, while the cavalry is wisps of dust. So I guess Shibata Katsuya has actually arrived around, but she is still waiting for an opportunity! She is preparing to appear and fight against Hashiba Hideyoshi!

Sakuma Sheng Zheng must also know that his uncle and his team had already arrived around. He saw him in the formation and suddenly shouted loudly. The soldiers of his troops immediately shouted in unison and launched an attack similar to last night's decisive attack!

After all, we are still condescending. Although we are not as big as the height difference as before, we still have an advantage. As soon as Sakuma Masaru's team rushed, the Hanshi Hideyoshi's army, who was not good at fighting in the mountains, immediately stopped! It was actually suppressed by Sakuma Masaru's weak force again!

The soldiers in Hideyoshi formation burst into tears. They thought that going up to the mountain would be spring, but who knew that the location had changed, but your uncle was still your uncle! When they saw this Gui Xuan Banner, which was desperate to fight, could not beat it! So there was turmoil on the local battlefield, which directly affected Hideyoshi's follow-up, and chaos came as scheduled!

Hashiba Hideyoshi was hanging from behind. Seeing that there was no danger of being sniped, he began to personally ascend to command. He saw chaos suddenly appearing near the top of the mountain. He was puzzled. He was so many casualties when charging just now, why did he rush forward and become chaotic?

Little do you know that this is the psychology of a person. You know that you will die, but you are not afraid. However, even though you can survive, you are facing the threat of death, which is the most feared!

Suddenly, Hideyoshi also saw the dust in the back mountain from the corner of her eyes, and was shocked! His team was concentrated in front of the mountain, and such a large surface of dust appeared behind her. Whose team was it?

A thought flashed through my mind. Could it be... Could it be that Shibata Katsuya's army arrived? Why is it so fast?

Just as he was hesitating, a shocking cry came from behind the mountain where we were fighting! A group of people rushed out from the side of the mountain, impartially rushing towards the middle waist and eye area of ​​Hideyoshi's army!

When I turned my head, Shibata's family emblem fluttered high on the flag. The black armor team was like a sharp blade, piercing into the green armored Hideyoshi's team. The two sides collided violently, and then they began to tear up, forming a staggered stagger again!

It can be seen that this team has only 7,000 people. I don’t know who led it. Although there are few people, they are extremely brave. They are like a steel nail, deeply piercing into the waist of Hideyoshi’s army, and the entire team is not connected smoothly!

Seeing this, Hideyoshi shouted as the general pressed forward, and directed the left army to surround the new enemy and waved a left hook! However, what Hideyoshi did not expect was that a team broke out on the other side of the foothills again! The number of people in this team was much larger than the one just now. It was Hideyoshi's old opponent, Shibata Katsuya himself, who arrived!

Although Kishibata is a strategic dwarf, he definitely lives up to the name of a giant in tactics and combat. He is better at choosing the opportunity to enter the battlefield than anyone present!

He used a team to attack the left side of Hideyoshi's army, luring Hideyoshi's general to lean left, and the corresponding right side seemed empty, while he himself led the main force to attack the empty right side, and suddenly the center of gravity of Hideyoshi's army was unstable!

I stood at the commanding heights and looked at the battlefield situation, and secretly sighed in my heart that today's battle has actually ended here. Shibata Katsuya's title of "Kei Shibada" is definitely not a false reputation! Under his impact, although his troops were one-third worse than Hideyoshi, he completely suppressed the other party in terms of momentum!

The Hideyoshi army, who had already attacked the top of the mountain, began to retreat slowly, but was bitten by Sakuma Shengzheng who turned around and pursued him, and he couldn't retreat!

Halfway through the mountain, he was attacked by Shibata Katsuya and was extremely uncomfortable! It seemed that Hideyoshi's defeat was already achieved today, and Shibata Katsuya's victory was sure to win!

But it turns out that anyone who underestimates Hideyoshi Hashiba will pay a heavy price! This was the case before, now, and in the future.

Shibata Katsuya succeeded in one blow and began to rush left and right, trying to divide the part surrounding Hideyoshi and erode the opponent's troops. However, he chased him too deeply and soon he had already penetrated into the hinterland of Hideyoshi's army! He had basically gone down the mountain and reached the plain at the foot of the mountain!

At this moment, I heard a cannon sound at the top of Iwasakiyama Mountain not far away. When everyone looked up, they rushed down from the top of the mountain, and were wearing the armor of the Hashiba family!

Shibata Katsue was shocked. As expected, this battle was mainly mountain warfare, so there were no cavalry coming, almost all infantry! But unexpectedly, Hideyoshi would have hidden a cavalry on the top of the mountain! This was definitely something that had never happened in mountain warfare, because the cavalry was slow on the mountain and the impact of defending the terrain was very serious, so everyone did not agree with the tactics of using cavalry in Occupy Central Mountain!

But Hideyoshi Hashiba, who has never played according to routines, did this! Moreover, the number of this team is quite large, which should be around 5,000! This is probably the main cavalry force that Hideyoshi can draw!

This cavalry rushed towards Shibata Katsue at the foot of the mountain with an extremely brave attitude! In order to facilitate mountain warfare, almost all of the subordinates of the Satoe carried * and infantry short guns, and were in a completely restrained situation against the cavalry.

In the crisis, Shibata Katsuya immediately showed his tactic style. He saw that he did not retreat but advanced. Not only did he not run up the mountain, but he commanded the army and rushed into the enemy formation again!

I nodded secretly at the top of the mountain. Shibata Katsuya was really good at fighting! He knew that his two-legged team would definitely not be able to run away from the opponent's four-legged cavalry, so instead of running up the mountain and being chased by the opponent, it would be better to squeeze into the enemy formation and let the opponent's cavalry throw themselves into the rat and avoid weapons. He slowed down because he was worried about hurting his comrades, and he could not rush up in the end!

The cavalry that cannot rush does not have much advantage in the face of the infantry. At most, they are higher and faster, but they also have the defect of turning unfavorable and turning slowly! It has to be said that Shibata Katsue's move is magical, and it is definitely a reflection of his years of military career and a magical stroke of gathering skills!

However, the commander of the opponent's cavalry team was not an ordinary person. Seeing that Katsuya quickly changed the formation, which was not conducive to his rapid attack, he changed the frontal impact to side cutting and scraped thinly along the side of Shibada Katsuya's army!

With just one move, Shibata Katsuya's subordinates were missing three or four hundred! This ability to change the formation on the spot is really a level genius!

I was on the top of the mountain and looked at the other cavalry commander through the scope. I saw that this man was tall and dressed very strangely. Rather than being a warrior, he looked more like an actor, wearing a red opera robe and a long feathered headdress on his head! He was colorful, like an actor on the stage! He was like a joke. Is there anyone fighting like this?

But this man was unambiguous when fighting. A mighty and majestic red war horse under his crotch roared and roared, and a red spear in his palm danced with a tiger-like gust! Wherever he went, almost no one could stop him! Even Shibada Katsuya had to squeeze into the enemy to avoid his sharp edge! He was really extremely brave!

who is he?

My mind was extremely confused. I thought about it and it seemed that someone's name gradually overlapped with the person in front of me.
