50,000 Han troops charged at the same time, spreading all over the mountains and fields, like a rushing tide to meet the pursuing Japanese army.
The vanguard troops who rushed to the front were still full of strength to catch up, and planned to cut off a few more heads to come back to receive the reward, but they didn't expect the Han army to suddenly turn around and kill them, and the momentum was like a tiger descending the mountain.
"There is no plan for the dog, you can know the Han army general Gongsun Qi" Bai Qi took the lead, roared like thunder, opened and closed the long knife in his hand, facing the backward equipment and weak body of the wolf like a tiger into the flock, a big knife flew up and down, and the head of the straight cut rolled wildly, and the blood splashed.
Seeing Gongsun Qi come back from the dead, the Japanese army that rushed to the front was scattered, and was frightened, and was covered up and killed by the Han army led by Bai Qi, and the formation was suddenly in chaos, leaving countless corpses, and fighting and leaving, retreating to the position where the main army was located, and reporting the news of Gongsun Qi's resurrection to Oda Nobunaga.
"I am the Han general Deng Qiang" Deng Qiang on the left flank was not to be left behind, flew the blue-maned horse under his crotch, waved the bronze lance in his hand, and stabbed a Japanese general who met on a narrow road from the horse, and stabbed it out, from the front chest into the back and out.
Deng Qiang is powerful, every time he stabs out the long lance, he pierces the enemy, and then throws it out in the air, and smashes another pawn with his corpse.
Under the encouragement of Bai Qi and Deng Qiang, the morale of the Han army was high, and the shield soldiers who rushed to the front held the shield in their left hand and raised their knives in their right hands, slashing and slashing at the Japanese army.
"Report to Lord Guan Bai, Gongsun Qi has come back from the dead, and is leading the Han army to launch a counteroffensive against the vanguard of our army."
The Japanese scouts rode their horses and whipped, and in a panic came to Oda Nobunaga's horse, rolled off the horse and reported it.
"What" Oda Nobunaga, who had just been stationed down to drink a cup of tea to moisten his lower throat, was shocked, his face changed suddenly, the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell to pieces, "It's not good to fall for Gongsun Qi's trick to lure the enemy to death" After calming down a little, Oda Nobunaga still didn't believe in the resurrection of Gongsun Qi, after all, Japan's strongest killer in the past hundred years, Wind Demon Kotaro, took over the task of assassinating Gongsun Qi, and there were scouts on his side who witnessed him stabbing the "shuriken" into Gongsun Qi's body.
Moreover, there is also the internal information provided by Himiko, combined with this information, how could Gongsun Qi be a fraud, could it be that the Han general pretended to be Gongsun Qi to cheat, trying to frustrate the edge of the Japanese army, and to advance and retreat to throw off the pursuit As soon as he thought of this, Oda Nobunaga believed more and more in this possibility, stroked the saber in his hand, and said calmly: "Pass my order, don't panic, this is the Han will pretend to be Gongsun Qi to deceive the life of our army, even if Gongsun Qi comes back from the dead, there is no need to panic, the battle is to face the battle, dare to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and those who escape from the battle will be immediately killed."
Under the orders of Oda Nobunaga, the elite of the Japanese army on the three routes was in front, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were behind, and they started hand-to-hand combat with the Han army, which slightly reversed the unfavorable situation and formed a stalemate.
Bai Qi led his troops to rush and kill for a morning, ordered the troops to be collected, and at the same time sent scouts to contact Lu Xun and Qi Jiguang to outflank Oda Nobunaga's rear road, "After the encirclement is formed, the Japanese will be in chaos, and when they run out of food, our army can be annihilated without effort, and there is no need to increase casualties."
Just when the battle was stalemate, Date Masamune on the left came to meet Oda Nobunaga and asked for the withdrawal of troops: "Lord Sekihaku, the situation is not good, for the sake of safety, it is better to collect troops and retreat to Edo, and then make a plan."
Oda Nobunaga was more convinced of his own judgment: "I think that this Gongsun Qi is a fake of other Han generals, don't you see that they stopped the offensive I guess the Han general originally planned to pretend to be Gongsun Qi to scare our army back, but our army was unmoved, and it is estimated that the Han army began to retreat after dark." ” Although Date Masamune had concerns in his heart, he saw that Oda Nobunaga was confident, and his analysis was reasonable, so he had to agree with his head: "Since Lord Sekihaku is so sure, let's wait and see the situation, and if the Han army retreats, we will continue to pursue."
If the Han army is still confronted by our army, and nine times out of ten they are waiting for Lu Xun and Qi Jiguang to join the siege, then they must retreat quickly."
"It's up to you."
Fearing that his arbitrariness would cause Date Masamune's dissatisfaction, Oda Nobunaga laughed and agreed to Date Masamune's request.
By evening, the Han army had indeed retreated westward.
Oda Nobunaga was overjoyed when he heard the report, and stroked his beard and laughed: "I have long seen through the tricks of the Han army, and I have mainly advanced by retreating and opposing guests, but this is just to pass my order, bite the Han army, and don't be blown away by the boiled duck." ” Under the command of Oda Nobunaga, the Japanese army on the three routes bled up, regrouped, and raised torches to chase the Han army again.
The Han generals, including Deng Qiang, were a little puzzled, and asked Bai Qi one after another: "Since the general has ordered a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, why did he order a retreat again?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly: "I thought that Nobunaga would withdraw immediately after being counterattacked by our army, but I didn't expect him to supervise the army to fight to the death and not retreat."
Judging from this, Nobunaga did not believe that I was still alive, but that other generals pretended to be me to intimidate the Japanese army, and to retreat to avoid the Japanese army. ” "I see."
The generals suddenly had an epiphany.
Bai Qi continued: "The impermanence of soldiers and the impermanence of water, the way of using soldiers is between reality and fiction, since Nobunaga judges like this, we will follow his wishes, and then continue to lure the Japanese army to pursue, and give Lu Boyan and Qi Jiguang time to fight for the siege." ” Under the leadership of Deng Qiang and He Qi, the generals once again surrendered their orders: "The general's divine calculation, we are happy and convinced, and I am willing to take the general's horse as the head, but the general's order is obeyed."
The Han army fought with the Japanese army while retreating, stopping and fighting, which made Oda Nobunaga convinced of his judgment and ordered the whole army to chase after him.
In one night, the Japanese army pursued more than 50 miles to the west, and many old, weak, sick and disabled people could not bear the long-distance march, and they were lying on the ground one after another, stretching the Japanese army's queue to more than ten miles, like a flock of sheep.
Just when Oda Nobunaga led his troops to fight against Bai Qi, Qi Jiguang, who was stationed in Shizuoka Prefecture, quickly led his troops to march eastward, divided into three routes with Zhou Tai and Yu Dayou's troops, and led 50,000 horses to rush day and night to outflank and block Oda Nobunaga's back road.
The spring is cold, the cold wind is still biting, and the stream is cold, but Qi Jiguang took the lead, wading across the river, leading his troops all the way over the mountains and mountains, and traveling rapidly day and night.
It took a day and a night to march 190 miles, and in the early morning of the next day, he succeeded in cutting off Oda Nobunaga's return route back to Edo.
Qi Jiguang stood on the top of a mountain, drew his sword out of its sheath, and ordered in a deep voice: "Soldiers, finally led the Japanese army into the pocket, and guarded the various passes and key roads for me, and not a single soldier was allowed to go."
Qi Jiguang personally led 20,000 horses in the center, and Zhou Tai and Yu Dayou each led 10,000 horses to live on the left and right wings, build arrow towers, dig traps, and quickly complete the defense.
Then send a messenger Pegasus to report that he can counterattack Oda Nobunaga with all his might, as long as Lu Xun blocks the way out of the Saitama area, it will form a situation of catching turtles in an urn against Nobunaga's army who got into the pocket.
As the tanma galloped back and forth on the land of Kanto, the storm was turbulent for a while, and the encirclement of the Han army was quietly forming, and Oda Nobunaga was still unaware, and still sent scouts to urge Akechi Mitsuhide to lead the army to reinforcements.
Lu Xun, who learned that Bai Qi had lured Oda Nobunaga into the territory of Gifu Prefecture and had already fought two skirmishes with the Yamatai army, also issued an order for a counteroffensive: "Soldiers, General Qi Jiguang has cut off Oda Nobunaga's way back to Edo, and then it's time for us to block Nobunaga's escape to Hokkaido."
Di Qing, Ding Feng, Shi Lang, Maeda Keiji, Lu Kang and other generals drew their swords in their hands and responded: "Kill the Japanese Kou, raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and the place where the horseshoe is stepped on, that is, the Han soil" Lu Xun personally put on his horse, waved his sword, and ordered a fierce attack on the Limatai army: "Kill me, soldiers, let Himiko see the true combat power of my Han hero" "Kill" With Lu Xun's order, in addition to Lu Kang leading 10,000 people to stay behind to defend the main general, Di Qing, Ding Feng, Maeda Qingji, Shi Lang and other four generals each led 10,000 people to launch a fierce attack on the Limatai army.
Ding Feng carried an iron knife, a horse in the lead, the rebellious army was meeting the Japanese general Koizumi Ichiro, there was no three-in-one, a knife was split under the horse, and the head of the owl was hung in front of the horse.
Di Qing wore a mask, the leading horse charged, a cooked copper stick wielded a tiger and a tiger, the Japanese army that met head-on was invincible, and many people were shot off their heads and died on the spot.
The Japanese general Tojo Wakachi saw that Di Qing was unavoidable, and he did not dare to fight in a panic, so he urged the horse to leave, and was caught up by Di Qing's horse, hit the head with a stick, and his brain burst out when he landed, and died under the horse.
Maeda Keiji and Shi Lang were also not to be outdone, each led their troops to attack, armed with knives and guns, and the corpses of the Limatai army were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and more than 15,000 people were killed in half a day.
"Cangkong Well, this cheap maid dares to lie to me" Knowing that he had fallen for Lu Xun's plan to cheat death, Beimihu gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded loudly, hating that he couldn't break the body of this servant who betrayed him, "If you can kill Cangkong Well, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold" It's just that before Himiko's order was delivered, he was covered up by the Han army, and Himiko hurriedly urged the horse to flee for his life under the protection of his own soldiers, and fled in the wilderness.
"You femme fatale-hearted woman, where are you going" Di Qing led a thousand elite horsemen to bite Himiko's back and chase after him, killing the widows all the way, chasing closer and closer.
Seeing that the distance was only 100 zhang, Di Qing hung the cooked copper stick on the saddle, bent the bow and set the arrow, pulled the bowstring like a full moon, shook his hand and arrow, and hit the shoulder of the humble me.
A sharp pain instantly spread through Himiko's whole body, and he almost fainted, and the arm holding the reins could no longer use his strength, screaming, and fell off the horse. t1706231537:
