Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 27 Battalion Howling and Troubled Soldiers

In October of the eighth year of Tianzheng (1580), Yuxi Duo’s army stopped and stopped and finally arrived at the foot of Fangjiwei Castle in Hushanchi, Gaocao County.

In order to facilitate the siege of the city tomorrow, Hachiro placed Toyama Quilt and Nagahama at the forefront to facilitate the assembly in the morning. At the same time, placing the strongest reserve at the forefront was also effective when the enemy rushed out of the city. resistance.

As Maruyama Castle descended for half a day, the Ukita Tadashi family had a high opinion of their little nephew, and unknowingly changed from active to passive to help Hachiro fill the vacancy during the military conference, and Hachiro actually became the coach of Ukita's army.

It was already night, and Inaba in October was already feeling the chills.Hachiro, who had been busy all day, fell asleep under the service of Kenjiro, as if it was an ordinary day as usual.

----------------

Hachiro, who had slept for a long time, opened his eyes here and found himself in a room. He rubbed his eyes in doubt, and sat up, "Kenjiro, Kenjiro, where are we? Have we conquered Jiwei Castle?"

There was no echo from all around, Hachiro tried hard to calm himself down, and seemed to hear the sound of horses whistling. Although he didn't call Kenjiro, Hachiro still dared to open the door and looked at the yard in front of him.

This is a beautiful small courtyard with a wide variety of flowers and plants, as well as the unique Japanese-style fake river and hills paved with gravel. From a closer look, it must be a beautifully decorated Japanese-style courtyard.

"Kenjiro, Kenjirou, where are you." Hachiro called out the name of his valet, but still did not respond. This was something that had never happened before.

Walking along the wall corridor, Hachiro saw the copper fish hanging on the corridor beam, and through the fiery red light of the sky through the temple door, Hachiro realized that he was in a Japanese temple.

'Have you returned to the afterlife?Which Japanese temple is this? 'Hachiro was a little at a loss, and when he took a closer look, he did seem to have grown a lot taller, and when he touched his hair and face with his hands, it became his original appearance.

"Could it be that the 8 years I experienced were just a dream? Did I just sleep in the temple I borrowed for one night?" Hachiro was as confused as when he came to Japan in the 16th century, and whispered, "If it is really a A dream, then I should go to sleep before the sun rises'

'Although I have some nostalgia for the unfinished Bizen dream, it is also a good choice to return to the rich and stable 21st century. ' Hachiro thought about it again and again, and walked away from the dormitory he rented along the memory. 'No, I remember that my dorm didn't have a yard! '

"Everyone! Rush in! The enemy is at the Honnoji Temple!" "Hoo!" The moment Hachiro reacted to the problem, the roars of the soldiers came from the brightly lit place outside the courtyard wall.

"It's Japanese! Honnoji Temple!" Hachiro reacted when he heard this voice, "Why am I in Honnoji Temple!" There are too many puzzles waiting to be answered, just like how Hachiro came to this world in the first place.

However, the Wise Army outside the temple did not give Hachiro the time to think. With a rain of arrows, they shot into the temple in pieces. Hachiro saw a wall of the state courtyard with the Wise Army vassal and was about to open the door.

Mitsuhide Akechi's treason was like a stone smashing into the originally peaceful temple, and people kept rushing out of the room, and some people rushed to the temple gate with a sword, as if to block the entry of Akechi's army, and some people went to the rear of the temple. Run, it should be to protect Nobunaga.Hachiro was also coerced and followed the team to find Nobunaga.

The wise army has already invaded the Honneng Temple.The overwhelming army filled the poetic courtyard just now. "I'm Oda Nobunaga, let Mitsuhide come to see me!" The door of the main hall was opened, and Nobunaga, who was wearing underwear, came to the thousands of troops with a sword in his hand. The wise army did not dare to show the atmosphere.

The wise army divided an open space, and came to the front on horseback. "Zuo Matou, I didn't expect you to rebel too." Nobunaga said mockingly when he saw the person coming, "You still care too much about the bondage."

The general did not reply to Nobunaga's words, but calmly ordered the soldiers to rush up to kill Nobunaga. The soldiers roared and rushed towards Hachiro.

Nobunaga was just like Ashikaga Yoshiki back then, holding a knife in both hands, slashing left and right, hacking to death several members of the wise army, and no one dared to step forward for a while.Hachiro also wielded a samurai sword beside Nobunaga and chopped them to death.

"Shoot!" Seeing that the general could not attack, he immediately summoned the iron artillery team to shoot at Nobunaga in the hall, "Crack!"

Hachiro, who was with the samurai captain of the wise army, felt a force pushing him from the side and pushed himself to the ground, and his consciousness began to blur.
----------

"My lord! My lord! Wake up! The Maori army is attacking!" Hachiro opened his eyes again and found himself still in the tent. He turned his head to look, and it was Kenjiro who was pushing him "My lord, you finally Wake up, the Maori army is calling!"

gross profit!Hachiro was still awake as if he was called cold water, looking at Kenjiro, who was already on the boat, and Kamei Tsuku, who was guarding the door with an iron cannon. "What's the matter!" Hachiro asked.

"It's Maori, Maori came from behind us, and has already invaded our camp. The nobles of Inaba are in chaos, and there are fires everywhere! People are everywhere! It's all in chaos, my lord, I will cover you and evacuate." Turtle Izumo said eagerly.

Hachiro was surrounded by Kenjiro and Kawai Tsukuyomi out of the camp, mounted the white horse that was already at the door, and approached Toyamabi.It was Hachiro, who was sitting on a horse and was blown over by the October night wind, and for the first time really scanned the entire camp.

In the outermost part of the camp, the place of the noble family of Inaba has all been lit up by fire, and the sound of roaring, cursing, and begging resounded through the night sky.In the distance, there seemed to be countless troops coming here by the light of the fire.

Hachiro was surrounded by Nagahamabei, who had already been prepared, and moved closer to Toyamabei.

Hachiro looked at the camp of Miyazaki Jirun in the distance, and the torches were called one by one. Gradually, the camp on the other side was also lit up by fire, but compared to Yuxi Duojun, there was a little less noise.

'It's so quiet, it's so quiet. 'Hachiro summed up Miyabe Jijun's barracks in his heart, "Has Miyabe-sama on the other side been defeated?" Hachiro rode on his horse and asked Kenjiro and Aoki Ichima next to him.But both of them seemed to be very nervous about the neighboring Maori army and did not answer Hachiro's question.

"Is Lord Miyabe on the other side the first to be attacked and has been defeated by the Maori army?" Hachiro repeated his question here, for fear that he did not make it clear and would lead to misunderstanding on the other side.

"No, we were the first to be attacked. The wealthy clan of Chitou and Hachisami were almost collapsed at the touch of a button. The enemy had already invaded the camp prepared by the United States." Kamei Tsuku said behind him.

Hachiro quickly digested the information he had so far, and this night attack by the Maori Army revealed a hint of strangeness.

According to today's information, the Maori Sanyin Corps went to Fengqian Kokura immediately after pacifying the Ishijian National Cave for a short time to help the Maori Huiyuan Corps who were struggling, and should not have come to Inaba so soon.Unless Hideyoshi's ninjas are rice buckets, the information is wrong.

But even the ninja army of Ukida has the same information!
Hachiro looked at the hell-like camp behind him, and with his eyes full of vitamin B, he carefully looked at the troops there.

"Stop, stop. Set up here!" Hachiro stopped the team
"Master Hachiro, what do you want to do? The Maori family is here, and we must immediately join up with Toyama to withdraw from the battlefield! At this time, we must not act with anger!" Ichimo Aoki experienced the last time Maruyama Castle was forced by Hachiro to attack the city, I am afraid of Hachiro. Who knows if this master will come to another bloody battle to carry the coffin?
"Lord Aoki, look at the preparations behind the fire, most of them don't rely on flags, and I only see twos and threes of the Maori army you mentioned," Hachiro's first Aoki Yimo explained.

After listening to Hachiro's description, Ichimo Aoki also looked back, but he couldn't see clearly at night due to lack of vitamin B, and he couldn't believe what Hachiro saw, so he ordered the preparations to continue to retreat.

Finally, Hachiro agreed to prepare the troops to form a formation on the spot, and sent horseback warriors to take a look at the occupied camp in the back.

During a horse-riding time, the warriors who went to the rear camp came back, "Everywhere is full of people, it's all messed up! I can't see the flags and objects, and I rode around in a circle. Indeed, many people did not carry the flags, and almost did not see the Maori soldiers of the flag."

"That's right! There are no Maori soldiers at all! Even if there are few, Inaba's people were frightened and rushed to the United States, who mistook Inaba's 3000 people for the Maori army, Being wrapped and rushing towards the central reserve team! It's Ying Xiao!" Hachiro said with certainty.

"Even if it is Ying Xiao, the young master should withdraw as soon as possible. If we fall into the chaos of the army, our army may be attacked by the enemy army that blocked the road at the beginning."

"Lord Aoki, listen to me, I can really save my life by leaving at this time, but once my father knows that our army's 7000 people have been repelled by dozens of Maori troops, I'm afraid he will be furious. The only way to make up for the mistake is to suppress the chaos." Hachiro looked at Aoki Ichimo noncommittal, and was ready to continue.However, he was interrupted by the voice of Yukita's family in the distance.

"Why don't you retreat, what the hell are you doing, Hachiro!"

"Lord Uncle, there is no Maori Army, it's Ying Xiao!"

"Even if it's Ying Xiao, you should retreat quickly, and you'll calm down when it's dawn."

"But if we really wait until dawn, how many people are still in the camp? Lord Miyazaki, on the other side of the river, will definitely report this matter to His Highness Harima. In this way, all the efforts made by our army in front of us will be paid off. It's gone to waste!"

Hachiro saw that Ukita's family fell into silence and quickly said, "The camp in Nagahama is still complete. We rely on the camp to build a fortress, pile up boxes and earthbags on the front line, and guard Shigaru in the back. Move closer to us twice, and send samurai to reorganize the chaotic army."

"What if they rush over?" Aoki Ichimo said.

"The enemy is the enemy army, order the Iron Cannon Squad and the Bow Squad to shoot and defeat them." Hachiro said eagerly as he looked at the approaching rioters, "Quickly make a decision, take the two adults! Make a decision now, Yukita's army still has more. rescue!"

The two looked at each other and decided to follow Hachiro's idea.For a time, Toyama and Nagahama joined together, and more than 1600 people stayed in this small camp according to the arrangement.The flag of Yuxi Duoduo was held high in the air by the flag-bearer, surrounded by several large braziers illuminating the surroundings.

The horse seal of Ukita's family was inserted at the front of the camp to point out the direction for the rebels.

"Everyone shouted: There is no Maori army, calm down, Yuxida Zuo Jingliang is here to form a team, everyone is forming an army on both sides, feeling that those who attack the camp will be killed without mercy!" Hachiro finally instructed the reserve team guarding the camp.
The reserve team guarding the front line received the order and began to shout to the rioters rushing here. Some of the rioters heard the order and began to run to both sides, and some still shouted "The Maori army is coming." Come on, run!" He rushed to the camp.

Hachiro decisively ordered "Shoot! Don't stay alive! Shoot!"

"Crackling~!" "Crackling~!" "Crackling~!"

The rebels rushing towards the camp were hit by iron cannons and fell to the ground very unwillingly. Hachiro asked the troops to continue shouting what he ordered, and guided the rebels to both sides.

Finally, under the baptism of several rounds of iron cannonballs, the chaos in the camp behind calmed down, and began to re-arrange in the rear of Toyama according to the instructions.Due to the lack of middle and high-level samurai, the Ukita Tadashi family arranged for both the mounted samurai in the team and the super-matched samurai in the reserve team to be the temporary commander of the reorganized troop, in order to quickly reorganize.

Finally, the troop of chaotic soldiers began to thin out, and the tide of chaotic soldiers passed. Behind the sparse team, Hachiro saw a few Shigaru with three-star flags with the word "Maori" rushing towards this side, 'Am I wrong?Is there really a Maori army? '

"Don't be chaotic, there are only a few Maori troops, they must be the remnants of Tottori Castle after it was attacked by the main hall! Shoot! Iron cannons!" Hachiro looked at Nagahamabei, who was a little shaken, and fabricated a story that Tottori Castle had already been attacked. A lie to boost the somewhat shaken morale.

Hachiro knew that if even the battle-hardened Nagahama collapsed, and the newly gathered troops would immediately trigger the second round of battalion roars, then the Ukita Army would be completely over.

"Crackling~!" Although there was some fear in their hearts, the Ashikaru's bodies still obeyed Hachiro's orders like muscles. In the dark night of October, it seemed that only the sound of the iron cannon could inspire them to the brink of collapse. morale.
