Civilization Guardian Front

"It's time to work."

The samurai carrying the Sanyin and Ryokan fingerprint flags was about to force a smile, but when he raised his head, he seemed to see something, staring blankly at the back of Sakuma Shengzhong's shoulder, with a frozen expression on his face.

"What's wrong?"

The guard's deep and hoarse voice came, and the warrior just pointed behind Sheng Zhong with a trembling tone:

"Sheng...Master Sheng, Jiujiu, Jiujin Village..."

Frowning under the ghost's face, Sheng Zhong turned his head and looked to the north.

Less than three miles away from here, the small wooden city on the top of Jiujin Mountain clearly came into view...

Thick black smoke came out from many places in the village, and the messy smoke drifted to the sky more than [-] meters before converging into one; the eye-catching flag on the main building representing the general guarding the village, Oda Xuanfan, was no longer visible.

The effect of igniting the beacon fire should be a concentrated black smoke, it will never be so scattered, and it will not even meet in the air; the general's flag protected by elite warriors will disappear, which usually means the general's team is destroyed...

Adding the two kinds of information together, Sakuma Shengshige can only draw one conclusion.

"Has Jiujin Village fallen..." the ghost-faced warrior sighed.

Jiujin Village, with less than 600 defenders, faced the [-]-strong army of Dagao City Lord Yu Dian Changzhao. The situation was not very good, and it was not surprising when it was captured.

He glanced at the Oda soldiers who were fighting beside him...

Compared with the energetic appearance five days ago, the light of hope for survival in their eyes is getting dimmer.

The Qibaiwan Genzhai defenders, after days of fierce fighting, now have less than [-] people who can fight.

In contrast, Matsudaira Motoyasu, as the offensive side, was always able to evacuate the wounded in due course because of his abundant troops, and gave the soldiers rest to recover their strength. Although there were more than [-] casualties, the combat power of the entire army remained in good condition.

"Master Sheng, what should we do?" Seeing the fall of one of his own fortresses, the samurai asked in a daze.

"Marugen Village can't be defended anymore, but..." Sheng Zhong shook his head, raised his big sword and made a vertical cut, splitting the head of a Sanhe warrior who climbed the wall of the city ladder.

Once Jiujin Village falls, Udian Changzhao will soon lead an army to support Matsudaira Motoyasu, so that the defenders of Marugen Village, who have little chance of winning, will die earlier.

"Before we die, at least the people of Sanhe must suffer."

The pupils under the cyan ghost's face were staring closely at the imperial horse seal symbolizing Songping Yuankang in the Sanhe army formation outside the village.

"After a quarter of an hour, open the gate of the village and make a decisive assault on the enemy's main formation."

...

The setting sun approached the horizon, and the day-long battle came to an end at the same time.

The Sanhe Army, which had already secured the victory, slowed down its offensive. Waiting for the order to withdraw troops from the rear, they retreated to the camp to eat and sleep well, and then completely captured the village the next day.

Ga...

The Marune village gate, which had been blocked by the Oda army for the past few days, suddenly opened inward.

"Come on, get Matsudaira Motoyasu!"

"Follow Sakuma University to the death!"

The 150 loyal ashigaru and samurai brought by Sakuma Morishige from the west city of the Gokosho gripped their weapons tightly and roared loudly.

"Death is worthy..." Sakuma Morishi, who was riding on the horse, murmured softly, then he took the reins in his hand and rushed forward dragging the big sword.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the Sanhe Army's spear formation.

"That's what a samurai wants all his life!"

The Da Tai Dao was swung by Sheng Zhong with one hand, and it hit the dense gun forest in front of him.

Clang!

After five days of fighting, the blade was no longer sharp, but it still missed the three spear blades that were coming towards him. Sheng Zhong put his left hand on the end of the handle of the knife, and thrust forward vigorously.

puff!puff!

Mikawa Ashgaru, who stood in front of him, was pierced by the tip of the knife. The speed of the horse did not slow down, and the knife edge pierced the neck of another person behind him.

Several knights on horseback followed closely behind Sheng Zhong, brandishing swords and swords to push away spears, and charged into the formation; 150 ashigaru rushed in along the gap created by the warriors...

The small group of Oda Army with the will to die has no fear against the Sanhe Army which is more than ten times stronger.They knew that as long as their actions slowed down due to hesitation, they would immediately be surrounded and suppressed mercilessly by the enemy.

Therefore, now every Oda soldier is running with the power to burn his life.

Even so, many people who fell behind still failed to catch up immediately, and were stabbed with several spears and beheaded with knives.

After paying more than [-] lives...

Sakuma Shengzhong's deadly commando broke through the first battle of the Sanhe Army!

Chapter 110? Matsudaira Motoyasu's decision

Maruneyama, Matsudaira Motoyasu Honjin...

"Did Sakuma University go out of the city to attack..."

The green-haired girl in a green armor and glasses looked towards the front of the army formation with a somewhat miserable face, fiddling with the military equipment in her hands uneasily.

"How to deal with it~~It's really troublesome~~"

She is the Lord of Mikawa, and at the same time Matsudaira Motoyasu, who is also a hostage and general under Imagawa Yoshimoto, is currently the forward of Imagawa's army and is responsible for attacking Marugen Village.

The turmoil on the front line caught her eyes immediately.

Sakuma Shengzhong's fatal blow was not beyond Yuan Kang's expectation.

When isolated and helpless samurai do not want to sit helplessly in a besieged city and be slowly consumed to death, the most common action is seppuku or assault.

The encircled enemy army had no way to attack her in a roundabout way. Only by breaking through the obstacles of the Sanhe army formation, could they reach the main formation here.

Annihilating Sheng Shige's Oda Death Squad is not difficult for the girl.

The question is, as far as Matsudaira Motoyasu is concerned, how to use it to make use of it...

The territory of Sanhe Kingdom is barren, and there are Imagawa family and Oda family watching from the east and west sides. As a direct descendant of Mihe Kingdom's lord, Matsudaira Hirochu, Matsudaira Motoyasu has had a difficult life as can be imagined.

Up until now, Matsudaira Motoyasu has spent about [-]% of his time as a hostage.

When he was young, he was taken to Owari by the governor of the Oda family at that time, Tadada Nobuhide, and became Oda Nobuna's childhood playmate. Fucheng has since become Imagawa Yoshimoto's loyal thug.

Oda Nobuna and Imagawa Yoshimoto, no matter which one Motoyasu can't afford to offend, at the same time, he also has extremely complicated feelings for them.

The same person who bullied her and made her fear, but also had the talent and mind that the girl admired.

Maybe working under the two men will not be treated badly, but Motoyasu Matsudaira also has very small, very small dreams.

That's...

Let the Three Rivers become independent and get rid of the tragic situation of being a hostage so far.

rustle...

A burst of fallen leaves whirled around the girl, and the leaves quickly dispersed, revealing a man in a black ninja suit half-kneeling beside Yuan Kang.

Hattori Hanzo, a ninja who has served the Matsudaira family since Motoyasu's father Matsudaira Hirochu was alive.

"My lord, Sakuma Morishi has broken through the second round."

Yuan Kang, who was thinking about things and didn't pay attention to the enemy's movements, covered his mouth with his hands in surprise.

"Is that so~~ I didn't expect it to be so fast~~"

"Do you need me to deal with him?" Hattori Hanzo's eyes sharpened.

As long as the lord nods, this man will most likely go to the front line against the clock to take down the head of the enemy general.

"Hmm~~" Yuan Kang murmured and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"No need~~ Zhongsheng is in charge of the third team, it is impossible for the opponent to break through~~"

"Yes." Hattori Hanzo thought for a while, and found that it was indeed as the lord said, bowing his head should be the way.

Unlike ordinary ninjas who completely obey orders, he will think more deeply about what to do to protect the interests of his master. It can be said that he has both the means of a ninja and the strength of a samurai.

"There is one more thing to report. Yudian Changzhao has captured Jiujin Village, and none of the Oda soldiers in the village survived..." Hattori Hanzo's voice did not fluctuate much, but from his slightly frowned brows, it can still be seen that he is very serious about Yujin Village. The head of the hall was dissatisfied.

Udian Changzhao is a loyal supporter of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and his attack on Jiujinzhai was even stronger than that of the Sanhe Army. Not long ago, the target was captured, and the army turned to Marune Mountain before resting...

Isn't it just to monitor whether his master Matsudaira Motoyasu has ulterior motives.

"Now he is heading here with more than a thousand troops, and will arrive at Marune Mountain in two quarters of an hour."

"Well~~I see~~" The green-haired girl rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something good, her tone became a little more relaxed:

"Master Yudian Changzhao came just in time~~"

...

The Mikawa Army Formation on the east side of Marune...

After breaking through the defense line of the Mikawa Army for two consecutive battles, Sakuma Mori raised the big sword and uttered a rare passionate shout:

"Kill!"

The soreness in his arm had already reached a critical point, and his hands holding the knife and the rein of the horse only had a little feeling left at this moment, barely aware of the touch of the things he was holding.

The rest of the pain was numb, he couldn't feel it anymore...

Anyway, it is the last charge in life, so there is no need to look forward and backward.

Since he contracted the disease, he has been coughing up blood all day long, and he can clearly feel that his body is getting weaker every day.

Sakuma Shengzhong didn't know when he would be so weak that he couldn't even wear armor, and finally died on the bed without dignity.

He knows only one thing...

(I would rather have my life shortened than witness this day.)

Because of this, Sakuma Morishige, who made great contributions to the suppression of Oda Nobukatsu's rebellion incident, did not ask for any stable position, but volunteered to come to Marunezhai to garrison.

For this very moment...

To be able to be loyal to his lord on the battlefield of the decisive battle between the Imagawa and Oda families, and to die heroically and beautifully like a true samurai.

"I, Sakuma Shengshige, have no regrets in this life!" Ghost-faced samurai laughed boldly on his horseback.

oh! !

There were very few voices responding, but the aura of seeing death as home did not need to be displayed through the volume of voice.

At this moment, there are only seven people around General Wan Genzhai, and the others have already died one after another in the process of breaking through the Sanhe formation.

brush!

The Odachi cut across a Mikawa Ashgaru hat, split half of the skull, and the yellow-white brain mixed with blood spilled out.

Withdrawing the knife to accumulate energy, Sakuma Shengshige swung out with a heavy chop again!

when!

A long spear stabbed out from the army formation, just hitting the knife that was swinging at high speed.

"what..."

The strong force transmitted from the weapon almost made Sheng Zhong's Odachi fly away.

After the spear blocked the knife, it was quickly retracted by its owner, and the tip of the spear pointed at the chest of General Wan Genzhai.

Sakuma Shengshige's charging speed finally slowed down...

Although he has the consciousness of mortal death, it is impossible to take the initiative to send his heart to the enemy's muzzle.

To take his life, take more lives in exchange, or wait until the moment he can no longer hold the sword...

"Who are you?" Sakuma asked, reining in his horse.

The gun-wielding samurai wore a stand-up pocket with antlers on his head, and he was dressed in a black suit. His head was lowered so that people couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Hachichu wins in Shimomoto."

...

When Udian Chang Zhao led his army to the main line of the Mikawa Army in Marune Mountain, the battle was over...

Because his family believes in civet cats, Matsudaira Motoyasu, who wears civet cat ears and a civet cat tail, walked up to Yudian Zhangzhao with a wooden box in his hand and a somewhat humble and cautious face.

"Master Yudian~~This is the head of the Oda family's famous general and Marune village guard general Sakuma Morishi~~" Yuan Yasushi held the wooden box in both hands and handed it over, the problem of protracted pronunciation between words remained the same as before.

"His Royal Highness Yuankang, what do you mean?" Taking the box containing the head in some confusion, Yu Dian Changzhao couldn't help asking:
