The 600,000-strong army led by Oda Nobunaga set foot on the land of Kyushu Island in a mighty and swarming group.
As soon as he landed, Oda Nobunaga received news that the Sui army had captured Kumamoto, Toyotomi Hideyoshi committed suicide, and the Sui army massacred the city.
"You bastard Sui Gou, how dare you treat my people of the Yamato nation like this!"
Oda Nobunaga was furious, drew his sword and roared, completely forgetting how excited he was after getting revenge when the Japanese invaded the Sui Dynasty and caused murders along the coast.
"Warriors of the Yamato nation, the invading Sui army is extremely cruel and kills my compatriots. Follow me, drive out the Sui invaders, and protect our Japanese territory. Horses will ride on the Central Plains and let the people of the Sui Dynasty become our slaves!"
Under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, 600,000 Japanese troops held high their swords, guns and messy farm tools. Following the footsteps of the front team, they were densely packed and killed towards Kumamoto like black clouds pressing over the city.
On the Sui Army side, after the commander-in-chief Lai Huer and deputy commander Qi Jiguang got the news, they also wanted to test whether there was any difference between Oda Nobunaga's main army and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops who had fought before. Now they came to protect the children and defend the city, while Qi Jiguang He led four generals, Zhang Dingbian, Guo Zhiyun, Gan Ning and Laizheng, and dispatched 30,000 troops to meet the enemy ten miles outside the city.
The Sui army set up a formation in the wilderness, but the Japanese army on the opposite side was in disarray. A creeping black line seemed to appear on the horizon, densely packed and crowded, blocking the sky and the sun.
"Although there are many people, they are just a mob!"
Seeing the noisy Japanese soldiers across the street shouting and neighing, men, women, old and young mixed with each other, pushing each other, just like going to a market. Qi Jiguang's mouth curled up slightly, and he was determined.
"The leading general opposite is Qi Jiguang, who defeated my 100,000-strong army in Qingzhou!"
Oda Nobunaga looked at the general flag opposite and asked coldly.
"Yes, Lord Guan Bai!"
Not long after Ranru was born, but with his extraordinary martial arts skills, he defeated Sanada Yukimura and Miyamoto Musashi and soon became Oda Nobunaga's number one confidant. Honda Tadakatsu handed over his hands and replied: "This time, although the commander-in-chief of the Sui army is Duke Ei, he came to protect him." However, Laihuer was old, and in fact most of the Sui army's military operations were directed by Qi Jiguang."
"I see!"
Oda Nobunaga nodded, raised his whip and pointed at Qi Jiguang's military flag and said: "Miyamoto Musashi listens to the order, I order you to lead an army of 100,000 in front to launch an attack, so that I can break through the enemy formation in one fell swoop and kill Qi Jiguang's dog thief!"
"Hi!"
Miyamoto Musashi rode out on horseback, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Drive out the Japanese pirates and protect our country, Yamato warriors, kill them!"
"Defend the Japanese Kingdom!"
"For Lord Guan Bai, kill!"
At the front of the Japanese army, a hundred thousand troops rushed out. Accompanied by the sound of the attack horn, smoke and dust billowed from the stampede, and they rushed towards the Sui army overwhelmingly.
In the Sui army formation, Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand and shouted: "Arrowmen, shoot the arrows!"
Five thousand crossbowmen stood in three rows, holding strong bows and crossbows. They bent their bows and nocked arrows, and launched an arrow attack at the charging Japanese army.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
There was a sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, and countless arrows were shot at the rushing Japanese army like a violent storm.
The Japanese army had no formation at all. The armor made of wood and rattan was no different from the Sui army in the eyes of the Sui army. There was only the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the body. Hundreds of Japanese were instantly shot over. On the ground, screams rose like a tide.
"Don't stop. If anyone dares to retreat, I will chop him!"
Miyamoto Musashi swung his sword to deflect the arrows flying towards him, shouted loudly, and without hesitation, his horse trampled over the two Japanese soldiers who fell down but were still alive after being hit by arrows.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Miyamoto Musashi has entered a fighting state, force +3, base force 96, current force increased to 99."
"Don't retreat, Yamato warriors, never retreat if you advance!"
"Long live Lord Guan Bai, for Lord Guan Bai, kill!"
Among these temporarily forcibly recruited Japanese troops, the middle and high-level officers leading the troops were die-hard elements arranged by Oda Nobunaga. Under the shouts of these generals, the lower-level Japanese soldiers, men, women and children, suppressed their fear and marched on The corpses of his companions surged forward.
"These Japanese people are really crazy!"
Qi Jiguang frowned slightly and waved his flag: "Crossbowmen, shoot in three stages, suppress the Japanese army non-stop!"
The Sui army's crossbowmen alternated between three rows. After the first row's bows and arrows were fired, the second row followed closely, and then the third row stepped forward to cover alternately. Arrows rained down like rain, and the Japanese army seemed to be blown down by the strong wind. Straws of wheat fell to the ground in pieces, and the battlefield was dyed blood in an instant.
Under such a terrible rain of arrows, the Japanese army finally became frightened. Some people ignored the shouts of their superior officers and ran away behind them, screaming.
"Sanada Yukimura, you lead a group of cavalry up and behead all those cowards who run back!"
Oda Nobunaga shouted coldly. He had the most direct lineage of one hundred thousand troops beside him. Unlike those Japanese who were forced to conquer, they not only had extremely high loyalty to Oda Nobunaga, but also after Oda Nobunaga raised his army. He has participated in many battles, and his combat effectiveness is several levels higher than those of the rabble.
Sanada Yukimura followed the order, thousands of cavalry roared out, and instantly rushed in front of the retreating Japanese soldiers. Sanada Yukimura shouted, thrust his spear, and the cavalry behind him also started to attack the retreating Japanese soldiers. After a while, He killed all the thousands of defeated soldiers who were the first to escape.
"Did you see that, this is the consequences of being a deserter!"
Miyamoto Musashi shouted: "If you want to survive, overwhelm the Sui army and take Qi Jiguang's head!"
Under the deterrent of the bloody heads, the Japanese soldiers who had already stopped charging could only grit their teeth and roar to embolden themselves, speed up their pace again, and continue to surge towards the Sui army's formation.
Facing the impenetrable rainstorm attack of the Sui army, and stepping on their companions who knew whether they were alive or dead, the Japanese army gradually approached the Sui army's formation.
"The archers retreat, Guo Zhiyun, Zhang Dingbian, you two each lead five thousand fine cavalry to counterattack the Japanese army! Come and organize, you lead the sword and shield soldiers forward, never allow a Japanese soldier to rush over!"
The three generals took the order and left, with the rumble of war drums beating. Zhang Dingbian and Guo Zhiyun danced their spears and raised their spears, leading five thousand fine cavalry to gallop out from the left and right wings. The sound of horse hooves rumbled and wild dust covered the sky, like a Sharp knives cut off the Japanese soldiers from both sides.
"kill!"
Zhang Dingbian screamed, waved his spear, and opened the way first. Five thousand cavalry galloped past. The Japanese soldiers along the way were like straw men made of paper, and instantly turned into dead souls under the iron hoofs of the Sui army.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Zhang Dingbian has entered the brave state, the force is +5, the base force is 99, and the current force has increased to 104."
"General Zhang Dingbian is really brave."
Laizheng grinned. He had fought side by side with Zhang Dingbian for a long time, and he admired Zhang Dingbian's martial arts. He immediately said to Qi Jiguang: "General Qi, it seems that the head of Miyamoto Musashi, the leader of the Japanese army, must be Zhang Ding It belongs to General Bian!"
