Civilization Guardian Front

"In this way, it is only a matter of time before Yilong's team completely collapses..." Chios put away the matchlock gun in satisfaction.

"Inuchiyo, you led the ashigaru team to follow the enemy's deserters into the rear army, and helped Singer force Yoshiryu's rear army into the river to drown!"

"...Yes!" The girl holding the vermilion short spear nodded solemnly.

She raised the barrel of the gun in her hand, and led Qibaizuqing with her men to kill at the entrance of the mountain path.

Chios then turned his head and ordered Changxiu:

"Wan Qiandai, join me in attacking the Yilong Army in the mountains and rescue His Highness Dao San."

"Understood, Master Chios!" Changxiu blinked at Chios quietly with beautiful eyes, and turned serious when he turned to face the Iron Cannon Team.

The order was issued quickly, and the iron artillery lineup faced the north and advanced into the mountains.

Saito Yoshiryu's [-]-strong army disintegrated from the middle, and the news of the general's injury or death spread quickly, and spread to the front and rear battlefields in a short time...

......

Heshan Mountain...

Daosan once again galloped his horse into the enemy army, the green spear in his hand turned into a swift shadow, the lieutenant soldiers of the Yilong Army didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly, so they felt a chill in their throats.

Turning the horse's head around, he returned to the army formation with two corrugated flags on a white background, and took a few deep breaths to calm his increasingly rapid breathing.

The armor on Dao San's body was stained with blood in many places, most of which belonged to the enemy, and a small part belonged to himself.

Surrounded by the enemy army, Daosan, who had entered the enemy's formation many times in order to boost morale, despite his superb marksmanship, suffered some injuries as his physical strength was exhausted.

"It's getting old, it's really not the same as it was back then..."

Holding his sore right shoulder with one hand, Dao San sighed, suddenly raised his head as if thinking of something, and looked towards the foot of the mountain.

"Jubei, has the sound of the iron cannons stopped?"

"It's indeed stopped, Your Highness Daosan." After Guangxiu listened attentively, he nodded to confirm Daosan's question.

Daosan, who was so short of troops that he needed to go into battle himself, lost the wide view of the main formation on the top of the mountain, and was forced to retreat into the mountain to shrink the defense line during the battle, so that he could not see the battle situation down the mountain.

He can only rely on his hearing...

Earlier, when the sound of iron cannons rang out at the foot of the mountain, not only the Yilong Army was shocked, Saito Michizo himself was also shocked.

I thought that Oda Nobuna would send reinforcements, but I never expected it to be so fast; I knew that Oda's family had an iron artillery team, but I couldn't guess how many reinforcements there were from the endless gunshots?

After that, it's a pity...

The Oda Army rushed to Mino in a hurry, without supplies, without a stronghold, no matter how many people came, they would be defeated sooner or later.What's more, the more reinforcements Nobuna sends, the smaller the chances of winning against Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Now, the sound of the iron cannon firing has stopped...

"Does it mean that the reinforcements are all gone?"

Daosan sighed, although he used it as a question, his tone was very certain.

"..." The girl beside her was silent, she had the same guess as the Lord.

Mitsuhide knows the advantages and disadvantages of iron cannons...it is powerful and takes a long time to recharge. After the first round of shooting, it is easy to be entangled by the enemy, so that it is difficult to have a chance to shoot again.

The reinforcements should be the same.

During the precious respite, Mitsuhide looked around at the soldiers...

There is no reserve team available, and many people have reached the limit of their strength after continuing to fight for more than an hour.

With an army of [-], less than half of them are capable of fighting, and almost everyone, including the general, is wounded, which is a sign of the end of the mountain.

(Could it be... I, Akechi Juhei Mitsuhide's life has come to an end?)

Boom boom boom! ! !

The deafening gunpowder explosion resounded through Heshan again.

The difference from before is that this time, the sound of the iron cannon is closer...

Guangxiu didn't know, so Daosan also couldn't figure it out.

However, the flags behind the enemy army began to appear obviously confused, and the commotion even affected the frontline soldiers...

"This is a great opportunity..."

Daosan, who is experienced in battle, will not miss this opportunity. He raised his spear high and yelled with all his strength:

"The enemy army is attacked from the front and back, and all members will attack!"

Oh oh oh!

The morale of the exhausted Dao Army was greatly boosted upon hearing this.

It doesn't matter whether what Dao San said is true or not, it is really that the remaining soldiers urgently need a hope to give them the courage to continue fighting.

Squeezing the last bit of strength out of their bodies, more than 1000 and [-] members of the Dao Army held their weapons tightly, followed Saito Dozo's back, and rushed down the mountain roaring.

There was no time to reload the iron cannon, Guangxiu was also at the forefront of the fight with his saber out of its sheath.

In addition to the precision of the iron cannon master, the girl's swordsmanship has also reached the level of Kashima's new trend...

Sideways dodged the three oncoming gun stabs, pressed his body slightly, stepped forward on tiptoe, and sent the knife in his hand forward.

brush!

A red line appeared in the throats of the two ashigaru, their eyes were blank, and they didn't understand what happened to them until the blood gushed out one step later.

There were two fierce generals, Saito Dozo and Akechi Mitsuhide, who rushed into the battle, and the Doo army was more courageous, rushing in along the gap made by the two of them, and charged the enemy's line in one breath.

Yilong Army General Bupo Guangzhi's 800 men were the first to bear the brunt, but failed to stop the sudden counterattack of the three armies, and the three spear arrays were continuously broken through.

"Follow the old man and move on!"

After rushing past Bupo Guangzhi's team, Dao Sanchao shouted to the soldiers, flicked the reins and was about to charge again.

However, the Hineno Hiroshi in front of him joined the army, but the two thousand troops turned their backs to Dosan, fighting against the army carrying the yellow background and black patterned flag.

Perhaps it should not be said to be a battle, but to bear the rain of bullets under the roar of iron cannons unilaterally...

Boom boom boom! ! !

People on both sides kept rushing into the forest, breaking down and crying and fleeing the battlefield.

"Hiroji-sama has been killed!"

"The main general is dead, just like Lord Yilong!"

"Run!"

This Saito Yoshiryu army was routed under the sound of gunfire and panic, and it didn't even need Dao San to lead the crowd to join the pincer attack. The entire army was already in chaos and was out of the control of the general.

"Saito Yoshitaka's team has been completely defeated, and Yoshitaka himself was injured and escaped..."

In the Oda army, wearing black majestic pills and a gorgeous 36-gold rim belt on his head, the tall samurai who looked like a general held a sword in his hand, and rode his horse through the enemy who had no fighting intentions. come.

The young man raised his head, facing Kamichido San, Mitsuhide and the others.

"Our army has ships, and it takes four hours to reach Owari Tsushima Port along the Nagara River."

Facing the unbelievable expressions of the Dao Army, Chios smiled and suggested:

"Without further delay, please also ask His Highness the Third Prince to go to Owari with our army!"

Chapter 94? Junior

In the future, on the north bank of the Nagara River, on the Heshan battlefield...

The 700 troops of Saito Yoshiryu's team fell apart, and fled from the [-]-member Oda Iron Cannon Team in a panic.

There are forests on both sides, and it is located on the mountain road where the army is not easy to spread out and outflank. Facing the constant artillery fire of the Oda military vehicles, the lethality far exceeds that of field battles on the plains.

On the road from the foot of Heshan Mountain to the top, there are corpses strewn all over the field along the way. The blue-bottomed Saito Family Monument flag tilted or fell to the ground. The bullet holes on the broken flag silently narrate the scene that the Yilong Army soldiers faced before they died.

The scene in front of him was too shocking, not only Dao San, but also the soldiers behind him stared blankly.

So much so that when the general of the Oda Army drove forward and asked Dosan to evacuate, Dosan just said "hmm", completely forgetting the reprimand he had prepared.

On the contrary, Akechi Mitsuhide was the first to recognize the identity of the person.

"Are you... Lord Chios who accompanied His Highness Nobuna to Zhengde Temple?"

"It's right here..." Chios nodded and looked at Mitsusu with a slightly apologetic expression on his face.

"I remember you were there at the time, but I don't know your name. I'm ashamed."

"Please don't mind, I..." Mitsuhide was about to answer, but suddenly felt that he was locked on by a line of sight mixed with a little hostility.

The leader of Iron Cannon Team, Niwa Nagahide controlled the reins with his left hand, and followed with a naginata upside down with his right hand, and tied with Chios.

"Lord Chios, now is not a good time to chat with girls... Zero points." The girl turned her face to the side, reminding with a graceful smile:

"Our army's top priority is to escort His Highness Dosan back to Owari, isn't it?"

"It's just asking the other party's name out of courtesy..." Chios also responded with a gentle smile, without any guilt.

The interaction between the two is so beautiful and misty, I don't understand why such a trivial matter as reporting the name will have side effects...

In a few words, Dao San also completely recovered from his gaffe.

"She's Mitsuhide, the wise ten soldiers, and she's very talented..." After a brief introduction to Mitsuhide, Dosan sighed:

"I understand the situation roughly, I didn't expect you to be able to do this, I really have nothing to say."

Saito Dozo, who already had the will to die, never wanted Nobuna to send reinforcements...

Apart from the reason why Imagawa Yoshimoto may have taken advantage of the situation, more importantly, the Oda Army that went deep into Mino did not have much chance of winning.

Daozan even thought that if the adopted daughter of Owari sent an army to rescue him, he would have to reprimand them a few times before driving them back, and even personally lead the army to kill the Oda army.

result...

The reality in front of him seems to be quite different from the tragedy he expected...

A small number of reinforcements who sneaked into Meinong actually defeated the Yilong Army, and now even the retreat route has been perfectly arranged.

The death-defying heart and consciousness held by Dosan before the start of the war no longer have any meaning at all after the actions of the Oda Army.

It's as if a hot-blooded warrior decides to kill his comrades, and Dayi speaks a lot of cool lines, only to find that the enemy has been defeated by his companions when he recovers...

Rao Saito Dozo, who is known as Mino's Viper, could not avoid embarrassment in the face of this situation.

That's why I answered "nothing to say"...

"Please return to Owari, His Highness Dao San with our army..." Chios saw the plight of the old man in front of him, and instead of revealing it, he bowed to Dao San.

"In order to reassure His Highness Nobuna as soon as possible."

"Yeah, for the sake of my daughter, it seems that this old man can't continue to be stubborn!" Dao San pretended to be serious and nodded, and followed the steps given by Chios to reply.

"Hee hee..." Seeing Changxiu and Guangxiu who said three insincere words, the two girls pursed their lips and smiled.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The old Viper of Mino blushed, coughed a few times to cover up, and then shouted at the soldiers behind him:

"Warriors loyal to the old man, we are going to take a boat to the city of the old man's daughter!"

Oh oh oh! ! !

Although they couldn't figure out why the lord's roar was louder than in battle, the soldiers still raised their weapons and cheered in unison.

...

Without further delay, Chios led the army to leave the Heshan Mountain Road and headed to the Nagara River to join the forces of Katsuya and Inuchiyo.

Chuanniya has already arrived here by boat under the order of Hachisuga Goemon.

On the surface of the water, there are corpses floating...

In order to escape from the Oda Army, soldiers of the Yilong Army who rushed to swim across the river often drowned due to pushing and falling.In order to save their own lives, people who lost order caused more serious casualties.

The number of Yilong soldiers who died in the Sichuan water exceeded the number of casualties under the rain of iron cannonballs.

The cruel scene made Saito Dosan and his men couldn't help but sigh...

3000 people boarded the wooden boats one after another.

Without being chased by the enemy, the group successfully left the battlefield and went down the Nagara River towards Tsushima Port.

In this rescue, eight people were killed and more than 600 people were slightly injured in the battle of the 1000 army of Oda; Almost all of the rest were slightly injured.

The Saito Yoshiryu Army, including the striker Takeyao Daochen's team, who intended to attack Dosan, had a total of more than [-] people killed in battle, more than [-] people were drowned, and more than [-] banner warriors were killed.
