Pulling back the time to a few moments before Yiyin took the oath, there were already corpses everywhere under the Big Rock Mountain.
Several Sanada Hime samurai rolled down the ditch on the charge, dodging the iron cannon fire. Behind them, seven or eight people burst into blood and fell to the ground.
As soon as they heard the sound of the iron cannon disappear, they immediately used each other's strength to climb up the trench and rush to the fence.
The iron cannons have bombarded three times in a row. The iron cannons need to go down to clean the barrels and refill the gunpowder lead bullets. Now is the best time to attack the defense line.
But in front of them, a shower of arrows suddenly shot out. Everyone was pierced by four or five arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
One man was not hit in the vital part. He struggled to get up again, but was hit in the eye by another arrow. The arrow pierced her eye socket and reached her brain. She trembled all over and fell to the ground, unable to breathe again.
Sanada Nobushige looked cold from a distance, and Umino Riichi behind her said in a deep voice.
"Three groups of people have already charged. Nezu Sadamori, Mochizuki Yukitada, and Kakejuzo personally led three groups of people to go immediately, but the opponent's iron cannons and arrows were too dense and they could not effectively break through.
This time, let me go. "
Sanada Nobushige looked back at Umino Riichi and said decisively.
"Don't go! Nezu Sadamori, Mochizuki Yukitada, and Kakejuzo are all dead. I can't lose you again!"
Umino Riichi said calmly.
"The losses in the army have exceeded 40%, and now we are all relying on our strength to hold on. If we cannot take the lead, the morale of the people below will soon plummet.
Although the Oiwa Mountain defense line was barely supported by iron cannons, bows and arrows, Hashiba Hideyoshi's men had just been beaten to pieces by us at Shidake, and the morale of the army was in turmoil.
The three waves of charges must have shaken their will. This wave of charges may have a chance to break through the defense line and score a few points.
Master Qinghai, Master Yisan and the others are not mountain people after all. They cannot gain the trust of the mountain people at the critical moment and cannot suppress the formation.
So I must go, or are you planning to let Sarutobi Sasuke go? "
Sanada Nobushige knew that Umino Riichi was right, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
"Anyway, Liu Niang, you are not allowed to go! Sasuke is not allowed to go either!"
Umino Riichi looked at Sanada Nobunaga's red eyes, his expression gradually softened, and finally turned into a smile. She used her hands to spread the hair on Sanada Nobunaga's forehead and said softly.
"Xinfan, going down the mountain with you is the most correct decision in my life.
Without your presence, maybe I would feel sorry for myself and die in the mountains without any future.
Thank you for giving me a different life, Ariado.
Believe me, I will definitely break a hole in the defense line of Dayan Mountain, and then you can lead the whole army to rush in and get back our rewards, our future, and your love. "
Sanada Nobushige took Umino Riichi's hand, tears already streaming from his eyes.
"Liu Niang! I don't want Jindo Hall anymore! I don't want anything else! Please don't go!"
Umino Toshi withdrew his hand, which was wet with Sanada Nobunaga's tears, and rubbed his hand at the hem with a look of disgust.
"Sanada Nobushige, don't let me look down on you!
Cry, cry, cry, just know how to cry! I dont go? Are you able to collapse the defense line of Dayan Mountain? Can you make Oda Nobunaga cry to death? "
Sanada Nobushige pursed his lips and looked at Umino Riichi stubbornly. The two looked at each other, refusing to give in to each other.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became windy, and then dark clouds gathered, turning the sunny day into a cloudy day in an instant.
The two of them looked at the sky in shock. A bolt of lightning split the clouds, and a heavy downpour fell on their heads in an instant.
Sanada Nobushige stretched out his hand in disbelief, looked at the water droplets on his hand, and yelled at Umino Riichi.
"It's raining! Liu Niang! Look, it's raining! God is so moved by me!"
Umino Riichi pointed at the Oiwa Mountain defense line and roared at Sanada Nobushige with unprecedented excitement.
"Stop talking nonsense! Order the entire army to attack immediately, you idiot! Crush them completely!"
———
Hashiba Hideyoshi's troops had long been beaten by the Sanada Army and were timid, and they could only rely on the solid Oiwa Mountain defense line to support them.
But at this moment, heavy rain fell from the sky, completely ruining the possibility of continuing to hold on to the Dayanshan defense line.
The sudden heavy rain wetted the gunpowder and softened the bowstrings, eliminating the biggest reliance on Dayan Mountain's defense line.
Hashiba Hideyoshi knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga and fell to the ground.
Oda Nobunaga made a bowl shape with his hands and watched helplessly as more and more water accumulated in his hands. The rain was so heavy that there was no time to leak through the seams of his hands.
She gradually became cold in the heavy rain, poured the rainwater in her hands on her face, and then rubbed her face hard with her palms.
Oda Nobunaga looked toward the northeast and said slowly.
"Get up."
Hideyoshi Hashiba stood up and whispered.
"In the main hall, the Oiwa Mountain defense line cannot be defended. The iron cannon bows and arrows were soaked by the heavy rain, and they are no longer able to stop the Sanada army's offensive."
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her.
"You said that as long as you are here, there will be a defense line at Dayan Mountain."
Hashiba Hideyoshi knelt down again and shouted loudly.
"My servant is guilty and I beg you to commit seppuku!"
Oda Nobunaga looked at her coldly, the corners of his mouth twitching, as if he was smiling.
"If killing you alone can save the current defeat, I will naturally not show mercy. But now... let's forget it.
Sasaki Chengzheng sent someone to report.
Jinduodian swore in front of the battle that he would give up everything for the Wu family, not return to secular life, not get married, not seek fame, not strive for honor and favor. His sincerity moved the heaven and the earth, and he prayed for this heavy rain.
The Sibo army was so powerful that they were beaten so hard that Sasaki and others could not breathe, and the pro-army troops were unable to return for reinforcements.
You say, should I believe it? "
Hideyoshi Hashiba hesitated.
"This... the heavy rain did come suddenly and without warning."
Oda Nobunaga burst into laughter, leaning forward and backward with laughter. After a while, she suddenly stopped and said coldly.
"So, you all think this is God's will?
Man cannot fight with the sky. Yoshigami Shiba is not a mortal, he is a god who controls wind and rain, so I, Oda Nobunaga, can never defeat him!
Is it this way? Do you all think so? "
Hashiba Hideyoshi fell deeply to the ground.
"Main Hall! I don't know what God's will is. I only know that the Sanada Army will rush here soon!
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood! The main hall! I beg you to turn in quickly! "
Hashiba Hideyoshi was so anxious that he would definitely not commit seppuku, so that was an excuse. But if Oda Nobunaga does not leave, Hashiba Hideyoshi will not be able to retreat. This is the real fatal thing!
Oda Nobunaga raised his head and stared at the sky. Her shoulders twitched, and water continued to flow down her face. It was unclear whether it was rain or tears.
"Shiba Yiyin, I lost, I still lost to you after all."
Oda Nobunaga slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the cold and utilitarian Oda Governor was back.
"Hideyoshi."
"Hi!"
"There's a lot of pressure on Sasaki Narimasa. My troops have to help in the battle and they can't come back for the time being. You can take your elite troops to escort me down the mountain and back to Changbin City."
"Hi!"
"Mori Ranmaru."
"Hi!"
"Send an envoy to Yuwu's main battlefield and order Sasaki Narimasa, Sakuma Nobumori, and Kawajiri Hidetaka to retreat while fighting, leave the battlefield and retreat towards Kinomoto."
"Hi!"
Oda Nobunaga took one last look at the sky and spat.
"The entire army retreats!"
———
Oda Nobunaga was unconvinced. She felt that if it weren't for God's will in this battle, Yoshihiro Shiba would definitely lose!
It is impossible for Sanada Nobushige to break through the Oiwa Mountain defense line. Shiba Yoshigan's side will never be able to withstand the attack of Oda's new force and will definitely retreat first.
In a sense, Oda Nobunaga's idea was correct. She lost unjustly and it rained heavily, which was not a crime of war.
Shiba Yiyin was able to defeat her not because he fought well, but because Shiba Yiyin was cheated and had system plug-ins to help him out.
But the problem is that the martial arts family in the world will not see it this way.
Spo Yiyin swore in front of the formation and called for wind and rain. This was not something that humans could do. It could only be attributed to the power of ghosts and gods, and it was hard to violate destiny.
Oda Nobunaga's defeat to Shiba Yoshigan was not an unjust loss. How could a mortal defeat a god?
It has become everyone's consensus that Sibo Yiyin has a destiny. From this moment on, Shiba Yiyin truly embarked on the path of Shinto and became a god.
In recent years, the samurai family has become convinced of his identity as a living god, and even the opponents of the Oda retainers group are heartbroken.
The time and place were favorable, and both people and people were lost. Oda Nobunaga's rationality told her that she must withdraw. If she didn't withdraw, she would really lose all her capital.
As Hideyoshi Hashiba said, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
The Oda family's wealth is still very strong. This defeat is not enough to bring down Oda Nobunaga. She still has enough strength to negotiate terms with Yoshigan Shiba.
On the other side, Yu Wu was on the main battlefield, and Sibo Yiyin was sitting in front of the battle, with a maza under his buttocks and an umbrella above his head.
All the samurai who were accompanying Hime were soaked in the rain and watched as the various reserve units of the Shiba Army continued to attack, causing the Oda family's army to retreat steadily.
Tozawa Moriyasu was holding an umbrella for Yoshigan, and they were the only two who didn't get wet in the rain.
Yoshigan was still thinking about Tozawa Mori'an's injury and didn't want her to be damaged by the rain, so he gave her this good job.
At this time, Sibo's army had the upper hand, but Yiyin was still very nervous, because he knew very well that Sibo's army had been fighting for most of the day, and in fact, his physical strength had long been unable to sustain it.
The current offensive is just because Yoshigan performed miracles in front of the two armies, which boosted the morale of the Shiba army and scared the shit out of the Oda army.
Human beings' spiritual power is very powerful, but in the final analysis, the world is still material, and there is a limit to the effect of spirit over matter.
The Oda family's peasants and soldiers were separated and trained in Ashigaru, possessing organizational power beyond the traditional samurai family.
Back then, Suzuki Shigehide's Zahezhong simply collapsed. As for the Oda Army in front of them, even though they were frightened to death by Yoshigan's destiny, the Oda Army still did not collapse and held on.
If the Oda army can hold on to the end and the Shiba army vents its anger, it will be in trouble.
Yiyin looked to the southwest and said nothing.
The key to the war is not here, but in Oiwa Mountain, Sanada Nobushige, and Oda Nobunaga. Only when Oda Nobunaga's side couldn't bear it anymore, the battle would be considered won by Yiyin.
Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly came closer and said to Yoshigan.
"Your Majesty, the Oda army seems to be retreating."
Yiyin stood up and looked carefully at the front line that was obscured by mist, rain and mist.
"Yes, they are retreating towards the streets of Beiguo and away from the battlefield."
Yoshigan looked back at Akechi Mitsuhide, who bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Oda has been defeated."
The fear in Akechi Mitsuhide's heart at this moment was no less than anyone else's.
She always thought that she was creating a god and raising the king to the altar. But everything that happened today was completely beyond her understanding.
The last time Yoshigan fought against Suzuki Shigehide in the Battle of Yamato, it rained heavily, allowing Yoshigan to pass smoothly, defeating Suzuki Shigehide externally, and subjugating Momochi Santaifu internally.
This time, the exact same heavy rain from the sky appeared again, and it came again after Yiyin declared heaven and earth.
Is this a coincidence? Coincidences cannot happen repeatedly. If it was a coincidence last time, what is it this time?
Akechi Mitsuhide was terrified.
Perhaps, the truth of the matter is not that she is creating a god, but that the god is returning to his original position.
Yoshigan didn't know the random thoughts in Akechi Mitsuhide's mind. At this moment, when he saw that the Oda army had really retreated, he was no longer surprised, but relieved.
Today's battle has been full of twists and turns, and it's really too dangerous.
Oda Nobunaga is indeed not an easy guy to deal with. In fact, Yoshigami has fallen into her trap and almost couldn't climb out.
If it weren't for Sanada Nobunshige's awesome power, if it weren't for Mitsuhide Akechi's decisive decision, if it wasn't for the incredible effect of the special effects of the jealous beauty, Yoshigan would have lost this battle.
After finally keeping his undefeated golden body, Yiyin was not overjoyed, only happy. Sure enough, one should not underestimate the world's heroes.
He ordered in a deep voice.
"Order all troops to be cautious, keep their formations stable, gradually break away from the enemy, and do not pursue the enemy."
———
After the Oda Army withdrew, the big guys took the initiative to gather in front of Shiba Yi Ginza.
This time, it was Ninagawa's turn to speak impassionedly and show his loyalty.
"Your Majesty, we can't just let go of the Oda army so easily. I am willing to be the vanguard, pursue the victory, and capture the wood!"
Hatakeyama Takamasa and others then requested orders one after another, all asking for pursuit.
Yiyin glanced at everyone and said calmly.
"I'm tired. Let's collect our troops and return to camp. If anything happens, we'll talk about it back to Xingshi Mountain."
At this time, Yiyin was no longer the same person as before. With just one order, everyone shut their mouths obediently and bowed to leave.
Only Maeda refused to leave, and after the ladies retreated, he asked unwillingly.
“Your Majesty, why don’t you comply with everyone’s wishes?
The enemy is fleeing in panic, why don't we pursue him? Wouldn't it be beautiful to seize the root of the tree and open the passage to the south? "
Yiyin glanced at her and asked.
"Follow the public opinion? Which public opinion? Maeda interests, please don't pretend to be confused, can't you really see it?
Ninagawa Akashi and Hatakeyama Takamasa were just afraid that I would hold them responsible for proposing to withdraw the troops and disturbing the morale of the army. In fact, they had no real intention to pursue the Oda army.
Our army fought for a whole day, and it was only with the last breath that we forced the Oda army back.
The Oda army seemed to be in a sorry state, but in fact its physical strength was far superior to that of our tired army. If we catch up like this, it's hard to say who will beat whom later.
You, please feel adventurous.
It is already very difficult to force Oda Nobunaga back and win this battle today, so there is no need to add further complications. "
Maeda's petty thoughts were seen through by Yi Gin at a glance, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly. She glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide beside her, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Maeda Benefit could see Junshang's thoughts. He didn't want to continue the fight.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know what kind of ecstasy drug he poured into Junshang, which made Junshang unwilling to completely fall out with the Oda family.
After this battle, Akechi Mitsuhide will probably make some small moves again, and play some tricks like Shiba Oda Sumitomo.
