At this critical moment, Masuda Nagamori led the reinforcements and joined the battle. He personally led the assault and was unstoppable. In one fell swoop, the exhausted troops under Wu Weizhong were cut off. More than 600 Ming Army soldiers were directly surrounded by Masuda Nagamori. When Wu Weizhong and Ma Gui's vanguard army broke through the encirclement of the Japanese pirates, they received the news that Luo Shangzhi's troops were surrounded by the Japanese troops. The situation was very critical.

Not only that, but the Korean monk, Great Master Xiu Jing, and more than a hundred monk soldiers and more than three hundred Ming soldiers were also surrounded by the Wokou pirates. Aside from a portion of Wu Weizhong's troops, the rest of the battle lines had basically collapsed. The soldiers were so tired that they couldn't even lift their swords. In fact, they could only use their teeth to bite. Under these circumstances, they were suddenly attacked by a fresh wave of Wokou pirates. Two out of four of the battle lines were instantly broken, and Luo Shangzhi and Great Master Xiu Jing were surrounded.
Wu Weizhong's eyes turned red. He tore a piece of cloth from his battle robe and wrapped the wound on his left arm. With a stern face, he shouted, "Go back with me!"
Ma Gui saw that the situation was not good and immediately shouted, "Ma Hu! Take the troops and follow Commander Wu! Save General Luo and Master Xiu Jing! "
Ma Hu shouted, "Yes, Sir!"
Wu Weizhong gathered his remaining courage and joined Ma Hu as the vanguard. They fiercely attacked the place where Luo Shangzhi and Master Xiu Jing were surrounded. Along the way, they killed countless Japanese pirates. The two Xiao Generals formed a sharp knife formation and directly entered the encirclement of the Japanese pirates.
Ma Gui looked at Mount Xiaowu and Wangke Hill and calmly analyzed the situation. He concluded that the headquarters of the Japanese pirates was located on Mount Xiaowu and immediately ordered.
"Assemble the army! Follow me to Mount Xiaowu! The headquarters of the Japanese pirates is located on Mount Xiaowu! KILL THEM!!! "
The war drums rumbled. Ma Gui's main army immediately followed Ma Gui and charged in the direction of Mount Xiaowaru. The Ming Army was divided into two units. The sudden increase in military strength and combat power caught the exhausted Japanese army off guard. For a moment, they were in a miserable state under Ma Gui's charge. The energetic Shandong gunmen and Xuan archers had the advantage of physical strength. The defense line that the Japanese pirates had hastily set up was broken with one poke. They could not form an effective defense to stop the advance of Ma Gui's army.
Ishida Mitsunari, who was observing the battle situation from the top of the mountain, realized that the movement of the main force of the Ming Army was very strange. When he saw the flag of the general rushing over, he was instantly scared out of his wits.
"Not good! The Ming Army found us! They're going to attack Mount Maru!! "
Ushida Shuka was stunned. Before he could say anything, Ishida Mitsunari pulled Ushida Shuka and wanted to run. "Let's go! Change your position immediately! We can't stay on the mountain. Otherwise, once we are surrounded by the Ming Army, we won't be able to escape! "
"No!!"
After running a few steps, Ushida Shuka suddenly roared and shook off Ishida Mitsunari's hand. He looked at Ishida Mitsunari's surprised expression and roared, "I can't leave! If we leave, it'll be the Commander-in-Chief showing weakness to the Ming Army! If we leave! The morale of the army will be shaken! We'll collapse without a fight! This is the Ming Army's sinister plan! It's Xiao Ruxun's sinister plan! I can't fall for his trap!! "
Ishida Mitsunari's eyes widened as if it was the first time he saw Ushida Shuka.
"The Chinese Art of War says that the general is the courage of the soldiers. If the general is defeated and flees, no matter how many soldiers there are, they won't be able to turn the situation around! I am the courage of the soldiers! As long as I'm still fighting! The soldiers know that we haven't lost yet! We can still win! He's coming! I'll be waiting for them here! I have soldiers, generals, ammunition, and even an ambush! Why should I retreat?! Why should I retreat?! I can't retreat!! "
Ushida Shuka immediately ordered the henchmen around him, "Pass down the order! Mount Onemaru, be on guard! If the Ming Army invades, fight back with all your might! I'm with them! "
"Yes!"
The henchmen immediately went to make arrangements.
Seeing Ushida Shuka standing firmly on the ground with his katana, Ishida Mitsunari reacted. He was a little ashamed and a little impressed. Tai Ge had not misjudged him. Although he was indeed young, his loyalty was worthy of Tai Ge's trust.
The commander-in-chief did not retreat or even move. This undoubtedly gave the Japanese headquarters on Mount Komaru a lot of confidence. They began to fight back and began to form an effective battle line, creating a strong obstacle for Ma Gui's troops. Rounds after rounds of iron cannons caused Ma Gui a lot of losses. Ma Gui had no choice but to drive the shield car to the front to block the Japanese pirates' firepower. Then, he decisively ordered the crossbowmen to shoot freely.
Wave after wave of arrows fell from the sky and landed on the Japanese defensive line. Countless Wokou pirates were killed by the arrows. Knowing that long-range attacks could not threaten the Ming army, the Wokou pirates came to their senses. They knew that close combat was the only way to minimize their disadvantage. Fearlessly, they pulled out their swords and launched a counterattack against Ma Gui's troops. They howled and charged forward. Ma Gui was not an ordinary person. Seeing the swift and fierce Japanese troops charging toward him, he was not angry. Instead, he was happy. With a grim smile, he led the valiant Ma family soldiers to meet them head-on.
When the two armies fought, it was like two large blood bags violently colliding with each other. Countless blood splattered everywhere and corpses piled up on the ground. Whether it was the Ming Army or the Japanese Army, they were all in a killing frenzy and almost forgot their fear. All that was left was the most instinctive and primitive bloodthirsty desire and desire to win — kill the enemy and let themselves live!
The rearguard troops led by Luo Shangzhi were so exhausted that they were broken through. They lost their way of retreat and were surrounded by the Japanese pirates. In this desperate situation, Luo Shangzhi and the soldiers were aroused with the last of their courage and strength and charged toward the Japanese Army. Luo Shangzhi rushed to the front with a big shield and held a mace like a god of death. With a wave of his hand and a turn of his body, he could cause a bloody storm around him. The Japanese pirates died when they touched him. Under such circumstances, wherever Luo Shangzhi rushed to, the Japanese pirates retreated, just like a black hole in the battlefield. His bravery could be seen.
Master Xiu Jing held the iron mace like an angry King Kong. Facing the heavy encirclement of the Japanese pirates, his cold eyes turned into the anger of King Kong. With a wave of the iron mace, he could also cause a bloody storm, causing the Japanese pirates to cry for their fathers and cry for their mothers to avoid him. The seventy-two-year-old master ignored his old body and tried his best to squeeze out what little strength he had left. It was as if he wanted to burn out his body at the last moment.
The master's turbid eyes suddenly shone brightly. His originally slow thinking suddenly became clear. His bravery and fearlessness made the monk soldiers and Ming soldiers around him admire him. They all used their greatest courage to fight back against the Japanese Army. They rushed left and right, causing the encirclement of the Japanese Army to be in danger.
Under such a brave and fearless fight to the death, both the Ming Army and the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses. However, both sides were still holding on to their last breath. With the sound of several cannons, the sound of killing rose to the sky from the valley. The last trump card of both sides had been revealed. Xiao Ruxun and Yukito Shuujia had already gone into battle, no longer holding back.
