Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]
Chapter 20
Bullets rained down on the grim-looking time-traveling army.
The time-traveling army rushing to the front quickly fell, but the time-traveling army after that quickly rushed over the corpses of their former companions.The spear team at the front had been killed and wounded in the previous fight with the Asai family, and now they were greeted by soldiers holding swords.Even facing such a strange enemy, Hashiba Hideyoshi's troops felt their hearts beating, but they also knew clearly that if they did not complete the task of the first army, there would be no possibility of surviving—even as the first army themselves, there would be no possibility of surviving.
Hashiba Hideyoshi's ability to use soldiers can be seen.
The soldiers holding the knives were aroused by the grim situation on the battlefield, and rushed forward with the knives in their hands. The blades of acceptable quality passed through the chests and abdomens of those time-traveling soldiers one after another.The strong smell of blood permeated the air, and instantly rotted into black blood belonging to the enemy sword and the enemy sword. At such a moment, it really failed to attract the attention of the soldiers.
"Fire arrows!"
The fine arrows flew forward, and many of them pierced into the time-traveling army.There were three waves of shooting arrows, almost all of which were aimed at an arc.There are too many time-traveling troops that suddenly burst out, and their desire to fight is also amazing, often filling the loopholes when their companions fall.Such a burst of momentum is certainly frightening, but also because the replacement is too timely, it greatly reduces the pressure on the archers to shoot.The three rounds of firing arrows barely stopped them, making room for the Iron Cannon team to change projectiles.
The only scary thing is that even if they are hit by arrows, it is difficult to hinder their actions.They will not stop unless they hit all four limbs, or hit a fatal position.It's just that the former was slashed and killed by the companion behind him because his action was blocked, while the latter was killed on the spot and was trampled into a part of the soil under the night.
Because of the excellent weapons of this group of people, some soldiers would bend down to touch those swords when resisting, but all they touched were carrion and white powder, and they couldn't even find a handle.Such a strange thing did not cause panic, and it was not even communicated to Hashiba Hideyoshi—because most of the soldiers who did this were stabbed by the time retrograde army because they were distracted.
Guessing that the iron cannon team was almost ready, Hashiba Hideyoshi ordered again: "Iron cannon, prepare to launch!"
The iron artillery team hidden among the cold weapon troops gradually gathered and formed several rows.
"put!"
It wasn't until Hashiba Hideyoshi gave an accurate order that they lit the matchlock and aimed at the front to fire.
The pungent smell of gunpowder suddenly exploded, and the time retrograde army fell down another row.Under the sound of explosion, the soldiers at the front receded like a tide in order to avoid accidental injury.After the iron cannon team fired, they moved forward again, hiding the iron cannon team behind them, while the ashigaru with matchlock guns took the opportunity to load ammunition.
The effect of the iron cannon against an enemy who doesn't even have armor is obvious.Those bare-chested guys with sharp blades are almost helpless under the projectiles—the projectiles can cause more damage to them than bows and arrows.
But Hashiba Hideyoshi has very few matchlock guns.Even if it wasn't for Nobunaga's love for these things, they wouldn't even bring one in this battle, because Asakura's full armor really greatly improved the defense of the soldiers, which took longer than using iron cannons. weapons, it is better to send some agile ashigaru to besiege the past.
Who would have thought that at this time, the iron cannon would display such great power instead!
"Spread out! It's blowing up here!"
Moreover, most of his soldiers are not used to using this kind of weapon, not to mention slow to learn and low accuracy, and this kind of accident will happen!
Instead of looking at the soldiers who died when their guns exploded by mistake while loading ammunition, Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at the time-traveling army surrounded again in front of him with a livid face.
With his eyesight and sense of war, it is easy to understand that the Asai army has completely shrunk behind these strange soldiers at this time, and is waiting for the Oda army to come to pick up the leak after they fight with them.Moreover, the Tokugawa army has already withdrawn, which means that the Asakura family who came from Muyaling are coming soon...
Attack from both sides!Oda Nobunaga escaped easily, but he is here to fight to the death for that big fool of Owari! !
Probably aware of the seriousness of the situation, both the Mino Army under Takenaka and the soldiers under Akechi Mitsuhide began to consciously move forward to block that strange army here.
But Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't feel the pressure eased.He didn't even bother to hide his skill, leaned on the horse's back, and suddenly drew a knife, splitting a strange-shaped thing flying over his head in two lengthwise!
That strange thing with a human upper body and a spider-like lower body couldn't even arouse his slightest consternation and fear.Hashiba Hideyoshi's expression was distorted, and he rode his horse viciously over the corpse of that monster-like thing, raised his knife and shouted angrily: "Don't let the enemy continue to approach!! Do not pursue! Keep your distance!"
The flag of the Oda family fluttered slightly behind him, and it was extremely conspicuous in the dark night.Those strangely dressed troops decorated with animal skulls were still fighting the frontmost Oda Army.When they raised their heads, those eyes that seemed to be glowing with light were locked on his position accurately, and the longing that came out of them almost made one's backs shudder.
Such obvious and undisguised desire obviously won't last long.Even a single distraction on the battlefield could result in death on the spot, so those who stared straight at Hashiba Hideyoshi were mostly beheaded by the soldiers who rushed to the front in the first place.Compared with most of Oda's ashigaru who were only farmers, his body was much stronger and pressed down like a hill, and then both bones and muscles softened and decayed quickly.
This kind of gaze has no effect on Hashiba Hideyoshi, at least, this man who was just a spy has been aroused by this kind of gaze that seems to be looking at dead things, his eyes are about to turn red, and occasionally one or two steps When the corpse rushed to the front of the enemy sword or the enemy who attacked in the dark came over, his attack also had a bit of tyranny.
In contrast, Akechi Mitsuhide, who also became one of the targets of these people, was more cautious and calm.Even if the soldiers around the two were in an uproar when they saw something that looked like a bull ghost suddenly jumping out from under the night sky, he waved his arms after Hashiba Hideyoshi killed it, and commanded his soldiers to fight , Even when an enemy Wakizashi touched his side, he directly stabbed the opponent's head with the Taidao named Shuzumaru Koji at his waist, abruptly boosting his morale that should have been sluggish, and because of the unknown Riots that will permeate the fear of things.
But unlike Hashiba Hideyoshi's fearlessness under the rage, Akechi Mitsuhide is more out of his awareness of these monsters-since Saburo knows that this is a time-traveling army, this kind of thing will hardly be concealed (Saburo himself Mitsuhide Akechi (except when he can’t remember) can naturally recognize that the bull ghost-like figure is Wakizashi in the time-traveling army.
Then, based on the weapons they hold, it is not difficult to deduce that those weird troops fighting with the Oda Army are the Taidao and Dadao of the Time Retrograde Army.
Probably because they are on the battlefield at the moment, and they have replaced the Asai Army to carry the heavy responsibility of fighting the Oda Army. At first glance, they are no different from ordinary people. At best, they feel that the bones of these people's thin faces are protruding .Only Mitsuhide Akechi and Hideyoshi Hashiba, who were attacked by the enemy hidden in the night, know that there are still a small number of monsters in the shape of the legendary bull ghost hidden in this group of humanoid troops on the surface. .
And those soldiers who saw the "bull ghost" were too small compared to the large army of thousands of people.

No, it should be... The time retrograde army doesn't want to be exposed...
Akechi Mitsuhide vaguely grasped something, but the current environment did not allow him to think deeply.He turned his head and looked at Hanbei Takenaka, who was going to inform the Tokugawa family, had come on horseback, because he was riding alone when he went, and the danger was relatively small under the siege of the imperial army, so he was also alone when he came back One of them, as if there were some shadows churning in the thick night behind.
No, it's not a shadow... Mitsuhide Akechi saw it. From behind Hanbei Takenaka, a pointed foot appeared out of thin air, followed by a lower body that was like a spider but much larger than a spider, and a pale human upper body! !
Time Traveling Army!
Akechi Mitsuhide opened his mouth as a reminder, but under Hashiba Hideyoshi's command again, the continuous sound of iron cannons drowned out his voice, and it was impossible for him to turn his horse's head directly to rescue Takenaka Banbei, and he had to worry about being a princess. When many soldiers discovered the "ghost", they collapsed because of fear.
That is the real failure of the army, powerless!
But as long as he realizes Takenaka's talent, how could he just watch His Highness lose a general!
Akechi Mitsuhide gritted his teeth, he couldn't trust his combat skills, but at a critical moment, he could only take off his longbow and shoot arrows.The arrow clusters made of fine iron pierced the air with a bang, and headed towards Zhuzhong.
——Missed.
His body, which has been sick for many years, really cannot support long-term physical exercise. In addition, he just killed a handful of enemy wakizashis with the number of balls just now. It is necessary to shoot an enemy threat from a distance.
The arrows ejected from the bowstring only landed on the side of Takenaka Hanbei's horse's hoof, not to mention scaring away the enemy's wakizashi, and even reminded Takenaka Hanbei to speed up - I'm afraid even Takenaka felt that this was a battle The flying arrows.
The capable minister of the Oda family, the one who captured Inabayama Castle with 16 people in the past... Didn't die in the battle, but is he going to be killed by this sneaky thing?
Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help the itching in his throat, and couldn't help coughing.Under the cover of the closed visor, his coughing sound was much weakened, and because of the lack of air circulation, Akechi Mitsuhide felt as if his mouth and nose were tightly covered with a hand.
Coughing continuously, he tried his best to raise his head and look in the direction of Hanbei Takenaka——
Unexpectedly, Towakizashi did not attack Takenaka.Not only did it not attack, it seemed as if it had gone to the wrong place. After looking around for a while under the torch, it moved its six slender and long pointed feet and hid in the shadows again.Takenaka didn't realize that there was such a terrifying existence behind him from the beginning to the end, and he still urged the horse forward, all the way between Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.
The young man with a melancholy and handsome face conveyed the information from the Tokugawa family concisely: "The Asakura family's [-] troops have already camped in Muya Ridge, but the first [-] troops are coming here. The Tokugawa family has decided to go from the mountains." , Slow down after running fast until midnight, when we escape from Jinzaki, we can join the Tokugawa army."
After a pause, Hanbei Takenaka said again: "However, apart from the [-] troops from the Asakura family, there are also some strangely dressed troops coming from that direction—just like Asai's reinforcements."
It is enough to resist the time-traveling army on one side, but you have to be flanked by the time-traveling army on both sides!
Neither Hashiba Hideyoshi nor Akechi Mitsuhide felt their scalps tingle just thinking about it, and they couldn't be happier with the Tokugawa family's promise to slow down.
"Masakatsu, I remember you still have a group of wild samurai under your command." Hashiba Hideyoshi turned his head and looked at the bearded man under the firelight, "There is also a group of ashigaru who have used spears."
"Yes." Hachisuka Masakatsu replied, "The ashigaru skills are not good, this time they will fight with swords."
"Call them out, replace them with spears, and form a long-handled team." Hashiba Hideyoshi said indifferently, "Don't put out the bonfire, we will withdraw from Kanezaki Castle."
The time-traveling army rushing to the front quickly fell, but the time-traveling army after that quickly rushed over the corpses of their former companions.The spear team at the front had been killed and wounded in the previous fight with the Asai family, and now they were greeted by soldiers holding swords.Even facing such a strange enemy, Hashiba Hideyoshi's troops felt their hearts beating, but they also knew clearly that if they did not complete the task of the first army, there would be no possibility of surviving—even as the first army themselves, there would be no possibility of surviving.
