The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Looking at the dozen or so flags of the Ming army in full bloom, Honda Tadakatsu suddenly stopped. He needed to think for a moment.

Honda Tadakatsu, who is forty-six years old this year, has many honors, such as the most powerful general in the Warring States Period, Dongguo Wushuang, Japan Zhang Fei, etc. But the most amazing aura is that he has been through dozens of battles but has never been injured.

This is inseparable from the fact that Honda Tadakatsu is not only brave but also good at "sizing up the situation". He is a pure reckless man who cannot use his brain and has been buried in the troubled times for decades.

Honda Tadakatsu already knew how Ii Naomasa was captured from the Akabi team. He had also heard rumors about Ming Dynasty Lin Tianshuai's first attack and his bravery in tearing Kato Kiyomasa apart.

Thinking of this, Honda Tadakatsu asked his most loyal retainer Nakane Tairaemon: "Youemon, the Ming army's rear formations are scattered in several places. Where do you think our main force should attack?"

Nakane Tadashi is the younger brother of Oda Nobunaga. He is now the head of the family here at Honda Tadakatsu. Hearing this, he replied:

"Of course, my lord, you will lead us and launch the strongest attack on the commander's flag! Otherwise, even if we defeat other enemy forces, we won't be able to claim victory!"

After Honda Tadakatsu thought for a while, he added: "The Ming army on Shuaiqi's side must be tenacious and difficult to defeat, but it will be a waste of time."

What should I do if I really can't beat that handsome guy?

Nakane said faithfully and impassionedly: "You once taught us that even if a true samurai cannot take the enemy's head or obtain meritorious service, he cannot retreat in the face of difficulties!

The other retainers shouted energetically: "Youemon is right! There are only Honda samurai who advance, and there are no Honda samurai who retreat!"

Honda Tadakatsu: "."

Damn it! Do you, the retainers, have to force yourself to come forward?

Is the usual brainwashing and teaching of retainers too much? Can you look at the occasion before speaking?

Being framed here by the retainer's words, Honda Tadakatsu, who maintained his character, could no longer dodge and could only continue to move forward with a complicated mood.

But he saw an extremely tall and majestic figure standing under the handsome flag, which looked like an iron tower.

Not only was this man wearing airtight armor, but his face was also covered by a visor, and he exuded a powerful and dangerous aura.

Honda Tadakatsu pointed to the "Iron Tower" and said: "This person is probably Lin Tailai, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army. Judging from his appearance, he must be extremely fierce!"

Nakane Tadashi encouraged him loudly again: "My lord, you also said that only when you are killed for the kindness of Lord Tokugawa and protect your loyalty with your life can you be called a samurai!"

At this moment, Honda Tadakatsu felt that he had been kidnapped by his own morality. These retainers were all murderers!

When Honda Tadakatsu led thousands of Japanese soldiers and rushed to the Ming Dynasty's military vehicle formation, all the retainers automatically gave up the C seat directly in front of Lin Tianshuai to the lord Honda Tadakatsu!

The battle with the Great Tomorrow Commander is a glory that belongs only to the Lord, no one else can get involved! At most, he can only play support on the side to help the lord win.

Then Lin Tianshuai saw Honda Tadakatsu, the most powerful general of Japan, standing in front of him, wearing a deer-antler helmet, holding the famous gun "Dragonfly Kiri", and hanging a large Buddhist bead around his neck.

To be honest, it is a slander to say that Honda Tadakatsu is only over 1.4 meters tall. Lin Tianshuai personally checked that he is 1.6 meters tall.

Even so, Lin Tianshuai doesn't quite understand what Honda Tadakatsu's motivation is for challenging him head-on. Is he really not afraid of death regardless of the physical difference?

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, I waved the handsome flag a few times, and I really attracted people. Are all Japanese people so stubborn?

There was a language barrier between the two sides, so there was no dialogue or formation, so they just started fighting across the chariot with long weapons!

The "Dragonfly Kiri" spearhead in Honda Tadakatsu's hand is shaped like a dagger, and it has a blade. The blade is only 1 foot 4 inches long, and it is also engraved with complicated patterns.

The handle of the gun is about one foot long and is carefully made of wood wrapped with bamboo poles. It is both hard, tough and elastic.

Lin Tianshuai also had a spear in his hand, with an ordinary appearance and less than one foot in length.

The visual effect is far less gorgeous and eye-catching than "Dragonfly Cut", and seems to be completely inconsistent with Tianshuai's identity.

The experienced Tadakatsu Honda used a feint to test Lin Tianshuai's reaction and strength.

Lin Tianshuai dodged slightly, then waved his pistol and swung away Honda Tadakatsu's "Dragonfly Cut".

But at the next moment, Lin Tianshuai made an unexpected move!

I saw Tianshuai flying up and jumping onto the chariot, then assuming a "raising fire to the sky" posture, and fiercely smashed his pistol at Honda Tadakatsu.

Seeing this action of the other party, Honda Tadakatsu felt a little contemptuous.

Today, Tianshuai simply used the spear as a club. He did not pay attention to the exquisiteness of the marksmanship at all. He was really a rough man among rough men.

Honda Tadakatsu was not afraid of this at all. Although the head of the "Dragonfly Kiri" was swing away, the barrel of the gun was still firmly in his hand.

So Honda Tadakatsu stood firmly on the lower side, raised the barrel of the gun horizontally, and easily held Lin Tianshuai's spear that was coming towards him.

"Swinging" hard like Lin Tianshuai will inevitably lead to a lack of strength. Honda Tadakatsu even thought of the follow-up moves.

However, when Honda Tadakatsu was thinking about changing the angle of his attack, he suddenly heard a "click" and then felt his hand loosen inexplicably.

At the same time, he saw in his sight that the hard special bamboo-wood mixed gun shaft in his hand was broken by the spear of the opposite Tianshuai!

Then Tianshuai's spear continued to hit him in the head unabated!

Honda Tadakatsu was horrified, and the last question flashed in his mind, why is Lin Tianshuai's spear so strong?

But before he could get the answer, he passed out.

The eyes of all the Honda ministers who were covering him were tearing up. They had no idea that the invincible lord could be defeated so easily!

There is no thrilling battle, no back and forth with exquisite moves!

It seemed that Lin Tianshuai just used the spear as a club and smashed it, and his lord knelt down casually, as if he was cheating on the match.

Lin Tianshuai jumped out of the chariot again, as if he had something in mind for Honda Tadakatsu who fell to the ground.

Next to him, Lao Zhonggen of the Honda family raised his long sword and struck at him. Lin Tianshuai couldn't bear to have his carefully crafted heavy armor chopped off, so he raised his long spear to block.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of gold and stone clashing, the long knife struck the gun barrel, as if sparks were flying!

Nakane Heiemon Tadashi was confused on the spot. How could the barrel of the gun in Lin Tianshuai's hand be made of iron?

In his understanding, normal long guns have metal heads and bamboo shafts, and the same is true for the famous gun "Dragonfly Kiri", but who's good guy's gun shaft is also made of iron?

A gun like this should weigh at least thirty or forty pounds, right? Are the people who can use this kind of gun in battle still humans?

All the Japanese generals and soldiers around were greatly shocked, as if their souls had been hit hard!

No wonder Tomorrow Shuai just broke the barrel of "Dragonfly Cut" in one fell swoop!

The weapon in Tianshuai's hand looked like a spear, but just now it was actually used as an iron rod weighing several dozen kilograms!

Tianshuai's arm strength combined with the weight and hardness of the dozens of kilograms of iron rods really doesn't require any skills, it's just a matter of strength!

Lord Honda didn't think of this at all, so he habitually blocked according to common sense, and then he was caught off guard by the tragedy. Tianling Gai received an iron rod!

Fortunately, he was blocked by the gun barrel and protected by the helmet, which reduced the damage, otherwise his brain would be bleeding all over the floor now.

At this time, Lin Tianshuai's personal guards also came out with giant shields, covering Tianshuai's side.

As Tianshuai's personal guards, they all know what Tianshuai's virtues are, and they still have the tacit understanding they should have.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese soldiers and Japanese generals were shocked to the point of being temporarily distracted, Lin Tianshuai, under the cover of his personal guards, grabbed Honda Tadakatsu, whose life and death were unknown, and threw him into the car formation.

Then he jumped on the chariot, returned to the chariot formation, grabbed Honda Tadakatsu again, and returned to the inner circle of the chariot formation.

Knock him out with a stick, catch him and run away, so exciting!

Many of the old brothers around Lin Tianshuai have some knowledge of medicine. After checking the unconscious Honda Tadakatsu, they reported: "He should be alive, but I don't know if he can wake up."

Lin Tianshuai ordered: "Tie him up first and imprison him with Naomasa Ii!" Then he sighed: "It's a pity that this antler helmet has a dent in it."

Japanese famous general character card +1!

Everything happened so fast, as if six or seven thousand Japanese troops had just begun to attack the Ming Dynasty's army chariot formation, but in the blink of an eye the main general was gone.

Now I have no intention of continuing the fight, so I can only retreat temporarily.

At this time, on the flank, the Japanese right-wing general Tachibana Munege was commanding three thousand soldiers and horses of his family, and he was fiercely fighting against nearly a thousand cavalry of Tatsuun.

Their Tachibana family elites are famous throughout Japan. In particular, the Tachibana family's iron cannon Ashgaru adopts the method of pre-measured ammunition, and its reloading and shooting speed on the battlefield is three times that of other daimyo iron cannon Ashgaru.

However, generally only ten predetermined quantities of mixed ammunition can be put into bamboo tubes and carried with you, so you can't shoot too unscrupulously.

This is one of the reasons why the Japanese boasted that Tachibana's three thousand soldiers could equal the Ming army's ten thousand soldiers.

At this moment, Tachibana Muneshige commanded the 500 iron artillery ashigaru to fire several rounds, suppressing the Ming cavalry on the opposite side.

But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Tachibana Muneshige turned around and saw several Honda ministers running towards him in a hurry.

"If you don't attack the Ming army's chariot formation, why are you all here?" Tachibana Munesege asked in confusion.

Nakane Tadashi replied sadly: "Lord Honda was knocked unconscious with a stick and then taken away. His life or death is unknown!"

Tachibana Muneshige: "."

The most powerful general in the Warring States Period? Zhang Yide of Japan? Dongguo Wushuang? That's it? How long has it been?

My reputation as the Western Kingdom's Unparalleled One will not be affected, right?

Ono Jinyuki, an important minister of the Tachibana family, advised from the side: "Our army's inexplicable loss of two generals Ii Naomasa and Honda Tadakatsu is really ominous, so it is better to retreat."

Tachibana Munege straightened the dazzling Great Nichirin helmet and said calmly:

"So far we have not seen the main force of the Ming army come back for reinforcements. This shows that Tokugawa Daigan and Shimazu's servants are still fighting to the death for us to hold back the main force of the Ming army. How can we live up to Daigan's expectations?

What's more, although two generals were defeated in a row, our right-wing troops and horses did not suffer much losses. How could we retreat lightly? "

Ono Zhenxing advised again: "When you see the main force of the Ming army, it will be too late!"

Munesege Tachibana insisted: “It would be a pity if Ii and Honda became the dew of North Korea.

If you insist on retreating, then I will stay here and continue fighting to rescue Ii and Honda!

This move is not for Ii and Honda, but for the entrustment of Danagon and the face of our Japan! "

Ono Jinyuki still wanted to persuade him, but Tachibana Muneshige firmly said: "I have made up my mind!"

If we lose Naomasa Ii and Tadakatsu Honda, two of the most important ministers of the Tokugawa family, and don't do something, how will Tokugawa Ieyasu think of himself after he returns?

Seeing that the situation seemed to have changed a bit, Dayun took the cavalry back again, and at the same time let the horses rest for a while behind the car formation.

When Dayun returned to Lin Tianshuai, Lin Tianshuai asked: "How do you feel?"

Dayun couldn't help but complain: "The enemies on the opposite side just now were all wearing gold foil helmets, which were very dazzling in the sun!

I thought that the red-painted Chibei with centaurs and horses was already very fancy, but I didn't expect that there could be even more fancy ones among the Japanese army.

However, these soldiers and horses have good combat capabilities. They do not panic when faced with cavalry attacks and can hold their ground. "

Lin Tianshuai laughed a few times, "Haha", "When you attacked just now, you probably encountered Tachibana Munemo's Hatamoto soldiers.

His samurai and hatamoto both have golden helmets and silver scabbards, so when it comes to being fancy and pretentious, Tachibana Munesege is also unparalleled in the West. "

At this time, a personal guard came over and reported to Lin Tianshuai: "There is something going on with the enemy on the opposite side!"

Lin Tianshuai and Dayun came to the front of the car formation again and looked towards the opposite side.

But he saw a military general with a large golden circle on his helmet sitting on the ground, and the attendants beside him were carrying food boxes and wine bottles.

After Dayun looked at it, he complained: "There were the Great Immortal of Sheep Power and the Great Immortal of Deer Power before, I thought this time it would be the Great Immortal of Tiger Power."

Lin Tianshuai explained casually: "The big golden circle on the helmet is the sun disk, which is also the symbol of Tachibana Munemo. This person is the unparalleled Tachibana Munemo in the western part of Japan!"

Then I saw Munege Tachibana sitting in front of the battle array, openly starting to eat and drink in front of tens of thousands of people on both sides.

Of course, there wasn't much food in front of the army, so Tachibana Munesege could only take out rice dumplings to eat, while drinking heavily, looking very leisurely.

The fierce general Ono Jinyuki, who personally served his lord to eat and drink in front of thousands of people, was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but asked Tachibana Munemo: "My lord, why is this?"

Tachibana Munege took a big bite of the rice ball and replied calmly: "In the face of such a tenacious enemy, we must still have the confidence to win.

And we also need to find ways to restore morale and eliminate the tension of the soldiers.

Didn't Uesugi Kenshin do the same thing when he besieged Odawara Castle? "

Dayun, who was on the Ming army's car formation, couldn't help but ask: "What is he doing?"

Lin Tianshuai replied: "I don't know, maybe it's just to show off?"

After Dayun thought about it carefully, he added, "You can't be pretentious and want to seduce us to go out and fight, right?"

Lin Tianshuai hesitated and said: "It's hard to say. For such a pushy king, it's hard to tell whether his behavior is just to show off, or whether he has an ulterior motive.

By the way, what's going on over there with Lao Ma? He hasn't returned to the army after fighting yet? "
