Chapter 230 Ming Army Bloody Battle Tokugawa Army

After a few breaks, several retainers rushed over again, throwing Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rushui away together.

When they came back to their senses, they found that the place they occupied before was hit by several lead bullets. Kuroda Rushui suddenly realized that the danger of Tokugawa Ieyasu charging in person was too great, so he had to pull Tokugawa Ieyasu back. With Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat, the morale of the Japanese army further declined, and the battle line was unstable, and they were pushed back several steps by the Ming army. Seeing that the defeat was imminent, at this time, a few cannons fired behind them, and the sky-shattering shouts The killing sound rang out.

The Sakai team and the Kanbara team are finished!

This is the common thought of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui. The moment they heard the shout of killing, they knew that the Sakai team and the Kanbara team blocked by the rear had been completely wiped out by the Ming army, and the main force of the Ming army rushed over. , the neighing of war horses, the clattering of iron hooves, and the desperate roars of soldiers all brought Tokugawa Ieyasu brand-new visual and auditory enjoyment.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

At that time, the horrible memories of being forced into a desperate situation by Takeda Shingen once again swept Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart. The horrible and unbearable past made Tokugawa Ieyasu almost lose his judgment.

Kuroda Rushui frowned, looking at everything in front of him, his heart was filled with despair for a while, but looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu, thinking about his own ambitions, and the hatred for not being able to kill Xiao Ruxun, he really couldn't accept it like this The end of the defeat, but the end of the Japanese army's morale and unable to fight is imminent, he must come up with a countermeasure, otherwise everyone will die here, and the hegemony will die before the hegemony, which will make the hero burst into tears!

"My lord, there is no other way, I can only use the tactics of the shadow warrior!"

Kuroda's brain was spinning like water. Under such extreme oppression, he came up with the only way that could work under the current situation.

Use the shadow warrior instead of Tokugawa Ieyasu to charge into the battle to boost morale, and call on everyone to fight out together. The real Tokugawa Ieyasu is in the army and rushes out with the army to avoid direct combat with the Ming army. As long as you rush out, the Ming army who is not familiar with the terrain I will definitely not chase again, then Tokugawa Ieyasu will be safe for the time being.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was a little confused at this time, and didn't say whether he agreed or not. Kuroda frowned, and immediately called the five retainers gathered around Tokugawa Ieyasu, and told them: "In the current situation, only The tactics of the shadow fighters can be effective. You five have been favored by the Lord for more than ten years. Now, when you will die loyally to the Lord, are you willing to change into the clothes of the Lord and become the shadow fighters of the Lord? "

The five vassals looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had no master, and nodded together, and none of them flinched.

Kuroda Rusui nodded, and asked the soldiers to bring the same style of Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmet, which he prepared in advance, for today, Kuroda Rushui ordered them to wear the same helmet as Tokugawa Ieyasu, wearing Put on armor similar to that of Tokugawa Ieyasu, then put on a mask, find five war horses for them, and give them careful instructions.

"Rush to the front line to call for everyone to attack together. You rush to different places separately. The battle line is very long and there are many soldiers. As long as the five of you disperse, enough soldiers can be motivated to fight together. It can also make the Ming army I don't know who should be arrested. Each of you should bring a flag of the Tokugawa family, and the handsome flag will be destroyed directly, so that no one will know whether you are the master or not. Anyway, there is only one sentence, for the sake of the master, dedicate Give your life, can you do it?!"

"can!!"

The five retainers looked at Kuroda Rushui as if they were dead.

"Good! It is a blessing for the Lord to have such loyal subordinates as you! I, Kuroda Officer and Guard, admire you! You are well-deserved retainers and warriors! Everyone, I hope we can meet each other alive!!"

"Yes!!"

The five retainers each mounted a horse, put on their helmets and masks, and took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to gallop their horses in five different directions. Soon, the entire Japanese army formation was boiling.

Two retainers ran to the rear of the army, one in the east and the other in the west, encouraging the soldiers to bravely resist the attack of the Ming cavalry, while the other three came to the front line of the army, encouraging the soldiers to attack the Ming army. The big formation launched the final attack.

In this way, the period of the Japanese army was finally mobilized, and the tactics of the shadow fighters were quite successful, so that the Ming army was suddenly defeated by the suddenly violent Japanese army.

"What's wrong with these Japanese pirates? They suddenly became more energetic? Why are they so good at fighting all of a sudden?"

Xiao Ruxun was shocked by the poor battle situation on the front line. None of the personal guards around him could give him good advice. He began to miss Yuan Huang who was still in North Korea to deal with the post-war affairs for him. If Yuan Huang was here, Surely he can solve his problems, but there is no one here to help him now, the only experienced Ma Gui is still on Luo Shangzhi's side, Xiao Ruxun is a little distressed.

However, Xiao Ruxun gradually discovered that now it seems to be divided into several parts, rampaging on the defense line of the Ming army. The line of defense was in jeopardy, and even the pistols' throws could hardly stop the momentum, let alone the shield soldiers and gunners who had exhausted their physical strength. This situation was a bit wrong. Xiao Ruxun felt that this must be the strategy of Ieyasu Tokugawa and Rushui Kuroda .

But the matter has come to this point, Xiao Ruxun must go to the front line to boost morale, otherwise the Japanese army will really break through his defense line, what face will he have as the commander of the army?

As soon as he patted the war horse, Xiao Ruxun led his personal guards to the front line and brought the commander's flag together. The soldiers of the Ming army heard the sound of rumbling battle drums, and when they saw the commander's flag marching towards the front line, they knew that it was their Admiral Xiao himself. Going into battle, Admiral Xiao and Dugui personally went into battle for the admiral, fighting and fighting with them. Thinking of this, strength suddenly surged in the hearts of the soldiers of the Ming army.

As the handsome flag approached, the morale of the Ming army recovered very quickly. After Xiao Ruxun arrived at the front line, the morale of the Ming army completely recovered. A large number of soldiers of the Ming army howled and confronted the Japanese army. Another round of fierce fighting broke out between them.

But at this moment, Li Rusong's Jurchen cavalry had entered the rear of the Japanese army. The Ming army's strategy of attacking from front to back had been realized. The Japanese army's defeat was irreversible.

Tokugawa Ieyasu put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and under the protection of Kuroda Rushui, he ran around with the troops. His ears were full of buzzing and rumbling sounds. He couldn't tell what the situation was like, and he didn't know how to fight. What happened to the shadow dancers? I could only hear the shouts of the soldiers and the cries of persistence in fighting. This made Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rushui a little relieved, because the Japanese army still maintained a strong momentum. fighting spirit.
