- . In the empty main formation of the shogunate army. Date Masamune sat on the general's stool, looking at the fairy mountain opposite and silent.
Katakura Shigetsuna, an important minister of the Date family, sat behind Date Masamune, his face filled with despair.
In the past two days, Date Masamune resolutely carried out the wheel battle tactics. The soldiers from various vassal towns outside took turns to attack the fairy mountain. They suffered heavy casualties and their morale was exhausted. The Satsuma and Choshu clans suddenly launched a counter-attack just now, immediately plunging the demoralized shogunate army into chaos and suspicion. In order to gather the troops for the fourth wave of offensive, Date Masamune forced the Kaga Domain to charge the mountain for the second time. As a result, the Kaga Domain directly left the battlefield.
In fact, this place can no longer be called the shogunate's main formation. After the Kaga Domain retreated, the daimyo all left their own formations and returned to their own armies on the pretext of returning to the domain's military ranks to stop the chaos. Apart from Date Masamune, there is no other general in charge of the army in this formation.
Outside the formation, there was a sudden sound of armor scraping, and a slightly injured Date family samurai rushed in. The samurai's shoulder armor was knocked off, and his shoulder was a bloody mess, apparently scratched by a stray bullet.
"Lord Date, the Nanhai people on the Fairy Mountain launched a counterattack and used big guns to attack the two thousand knights of my Date family. Our army was defeated and has retreated to the south."
Katakura Shigetsuna stood up in disbelief and shouted loudly.
"Where are the Matsudaira family of the Maebashi Domain and the Satake family of the Kubota Domain in front of my house!"
The warrior lowered his head and said loudly,
"The Nankai people moved a hundred large cannons to the middle of the mountain and bombed the valley where soldiers and horses were densely packed. The Matsudaira clan's 1,500 people rushed up and were immediately defeated. All the defeated troops fled to the southeast. And the Kubota clan Satake The three thousand people in our family not only did not join the attack, they also retreated directly to the east and have now left the battlefield."
Hearing the news, Katakura Shigetsuna didn¡¯t speak for a long time.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Until he found that the face of the house governor Date Masamune was calm as usual, Katakura Shigetsuna regained a trace of confidence. After coughing, he shouted loudly,
"Don't panic, go south quickly, regroup the collapsed cavalry, and prepare for a counterattack."
"Understood."
But before the warrior could retreat, another flag soldier ran in.
"Date-sama! Just now, after the Yonezawa Domain's Uesugi family was attacked by artillery on the opposite mountain, they retreated directly to the east from the battlefield. I am worried that the Kaga Domain's Maeda family, Kubota Domain's Satake family, Yonezawa Domain's Uesugi family, etc. will attack when they return to their territory. The nearby vassal towns, the large and small vassal towns near these three houses, also withdrew their troops and rushed back to the east."
"Currently, the only ones left fighting on the battlefield are the more than 30,000 remnant soldiers of the "kin-domain daimyo" who are blood relatives of the Tokugawa family. But the casualties in the past two days have been too heavy. Now under the fierce firepower of the Nankai people, The feudal lords can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡±
Katakura Shigetsuna sat back on his stool feebly.
The Kaga Domain¡¯s Maeda family, the Kubota Satake family, and the Yonezawa domain¡¯s Uesugi family have always been at odds with the shogunate. I used to be afraid of the power of the Tokugawa Shogunate. They had to submit to the Tokugawa Shoguns. But now, the Nanhai people have gained an advantage on the battlefield, and they have no reason to continue to be cannon fodder for the Tokugawa family.
The other feudal towns obviously did not believe that the Tokugawa shogunate could safeguard their territorial rights, and they all returned to their respective territories to defend their territories.
The so -called soldiers are like a mountain, the so -called trees fall into the macaques, and the nominal rule of Tokugawa Shogunate cannot bear a defeat.
Katakura Shigetsuna¡¯s face turned pale and he looked at Date Masamune as if asking for help.
In his memory, this terrible family governor never fails. Every time the Date family was in trouble, Date Masamune would step forward and lead his retainers through the difficulties. He transformed the Date family from a small family into a powerful prince with a rice production exceeding "a million koku".
Katakura Shigetsuna was desperate for the situation. The only thing that supported him was his confidence in the family governor Date Masamune.
Date Masamune looked at the fairy mountain opposite and did not answer this sentence. The old man seemed to be lost in contemplation of the past and suddenly said,
"That Satake Yoshigege was the one who mobilized a dozen surrounding forces to jointly attack my Date family. He almost killed me at Hittori Bridge. I was only eighteen years old that year, but I won the battle. We defeated the coalition forces launched by the 'Ghost of Kanto' Satake Yishige. That battle. I was actually very scared in my heart."
Katakura Shigetsuna was stunned and looked at Date Masamune in surprise, wondering why the old man said such words at such a time.
"That was really a fool. He actually dared to attack me. Do you know how that fool died in the end? He was still going hunting at the age of sixty-five, and he fell to death when he dismounted."
 Ordered, immediately turned around and fled behind. The retreating Ashigaru were like a tide surging in the valley.
A cavalry brigade of more than a thousand people, holding high the Tokugawa family's three-leaf golden sunflower flag, was swimming upstream in the tide.
That¡¯s not cavalry, that¡¯s more than a thousand samurai on horseback, samurai from the Tokugawa family.
They are lords, small lords of the Tokugawa family whose territory is less than ten thousand koku. They are also retainers, retainers who rely on the Tokugawa family for their survival. In this war involving the survival of the Tokugawa shogunate, they chose to charge at the last moment against the enemy general. Decades ago, when the Tokugawa shogunate was established, enemies of the Tokugawa family nearly killed the Tokugawa shogun in a samurai charge. This time, they chose the same thing.
Urging the horses, they broke through the surging ashigaru. They rode faster and faster, pressing straight towards Pang Ning's sailors on the other side of the valley.
But this time, they were not facing Japanese matchlock guns from the seventeenth century. In front of four thousand rifled guns of the Nanhai Kingdom, their charge was just a matter of death.
Holding his katana high, Date Masamune rode the black Spanish horse and rushed to the front of the group of knights.
He was an old man with white beard and hair. He kept urging the war horse. He raised his "Saddle Slash" high above his head, roared with angry eyes, and rushed towards the soldiers who were shooting mechanically.
Those sailors with mechanical shooting are the most terrifying army of this era.
Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, the volley started. Amidst the huge gunfire, seven or eight warriors fell from their horses and stopped the last charge in their lives.
Pang Ning grabbed a rifled gun, cleared the chamber, loaded the gun, and took a hundred steps. Pressing the barrel, taking aim, at fifty paces, Pang Ning aimed at Date Masamune's breastplate and shot.
Date Masamune's hand shook, and he was obviously shot. He could no longer grab the katana in his hand, and he dropped the famous sword in the valley. But the Spanish dark horse carrying him didn't know it and was still charging forward.
Immediately after Nan Wang¡¯s shooting, the soldiers¡¯ second round of volleys began. Date Masamune was shot with more than a dozen blood arrows and fell under his horse.
When the black smoke dispersed, there was no longer a warrior to be seen in the valley ahead.
The war is over.
After the samurai died in battle, the Ashigaru in the distance immediately turned into a group of farmers. They lost their officers and lords, lost the meaning of war, and fled between the mountains and the valley in a panic.
Deng Aqi¡¯s cavalry chased after them, wielding their swords and hunting down the defeated soldiers among the rocks, staining the entire valley red with blood.
The infantrymen of Nanhai Kingdom did not catch up. They threw their helmets into the sky and roared in unison,
"we won!"
The deafening cheers echoed through the valleys, frightening the soldiers of the Japanese vassals who had fled without permission from the farthest reaches, so that they did not dare to look back.
Pang Ning rode his big German horse and ran all the way to Date Masamune's big black horse. After watching for a long time, he burst out laughing, tied the reins of the big black horse to his saddle, and roared loudly and happily.
"we won!"
Glancing at Qin Mingtao in the distance, Pang Ning looked up to the sky and shouted,
"Japan is ours!"
