With a few shouts, a few henchmen rushed over and pushed Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui away.
When they came back to their senses, they found that the place they had occupied before had been hit by several lead bullets. Kuroda Rusui suddenly realized that it was too dangerous for Tokugawa Ieyasu to charge in person, so he had to pull Tokugawa Ieyasu back. As Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated, the morale of the Japanese army further declined. The battle line was unstable, and they were pushed back by the Ming army a few steps. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, at this time, several cannons sounded behind them, and the sound of killing rang out.
Team Sakai and Team Shenyuan were finished!
This was what Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui thought at the same time. The moment they heard the battle cries, they knew that Team Sakai and Team Shenyuan had been completely annihilated by the Ming Army. The main force of the Ming Army rushed over. The neighing of the horses, the clanking of the hooves, and the urging roars of the soldiers all brought Tokugawa Ieyasu a new visual and auditory enjoyment.
It's over, it's over, it's over!
The terrifying memories of being forced into a corner by Takeda Shingen swept through Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind again. The unbearable memories made Tokugawa Ieyasu lose his ability to judge.
Kuroda Rusui frowned. Looking at everything in front of him, his heart was filled with despair. However, looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu, thinking of his ambition and the hatred of not being able to kill Xiao Ruxun with his own hands, he really couldn't accept losing like this. However, the Japanese army's morale was shaken. They could no longer fight anymore. He had to think of a countermeasure. Otherwise, everyone would die here. Dying before achieving hegemony would make heroes weep!
"Master, there's no other way. We can only use the Shadow Warrior's tactics!"
Kuroda Rusui's brain worked quickly. Under such extreme pressure, he thought of the only effective method in the current situation.
Using the Shadow Warrior to replace Tokugawa Ieyasu to charge at the front would boost morale and call for everyone to fight their way out. The real Tokugawa Ieyasu would be mixed in with the army and charge out with the army to avoid a direct battle with the Ming Army. As long as they charged out, the Ming Army, who were not familiar with the terrain, would definitely not chase them. Then, Tokugawa Ieyasu would be temporarily safe.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was at a loss and didn't say whether he agreed or not. Kuroda Rusui frowned and immediately called the five henchmen gathered around Tokugawa Ieyasu. He instructed them, "In the current situation, only the Shadow Warrior's tactics can be effective. The five of you have received Master's kindness for more than ten years. Now, it's time for you to be loyal to Master. Are you willing to change into Master's clothes and become Master's Shadow Warriors?"
The five henchmen looked at the lost Tokugawa Ieyasu and nodded together. None of them flinched.
Kuroda Rusui nodded and asked his bodyguard to bring the same helmet as Tokugawa Ieyasu. He had prepared this in advance just for today. Kuroda Rusui ordered them to wear the same helmet as Tokugawa Ieyasu and armor similar to Tokugawa Ieyasu's. Then, they put on masks. He found five war horses for them and carefully instructed them. "Rush to the front line and call for everyone to attack together.
The front line is very long and there are many soldiers. As long as the five of you spread out, you will be able to motivate enough soldiers to fight your way out together. You will also be able to make the Ming Army not know who to capture. Each of you will bring a Tokugawa Clan flag. Destroy the commander flag directly. This way, no one will know whether you are Master or not. Anyway, there is only one sentence. For Master, sacrifice your life. Can you do it?! "
"Yes!!"
The five henchmen looked at Kuroda Rusui as if they were facing death.
"Good! It is Master's fortune to have such loyal subordinates like you! I, Kuroda Official Bodyguard, admire you! You are worthy henchmen and warriors! Everyone, I hope that we can still live to see each other!! "
"Yes!!"
The five henchmen each rode a horse and put on their helmets and masks. Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, they rode their horses in five different directions. Soon, the entire Japanese army was in a frenzy.
Two henchmen ran to the rear of the army, one in the east and one in the west. They encouraged the soldiers to fight against the Ming Army's cavalry. The other three went to the front of the army and encouraged the soldiers to launch the final attack on the Ming Army.
As such, the Japanese army was finally mobilized. The Shadow Dancer's tactics were quite successful, so much so that the Ming army was actually forced to retreat by the sudden surge of the Japanese army. Xiao Ruxun, who was watching from the rear, was stunned.
"What's wrong with these Japanese pirates? Are they suddenly energetic? Why are they so good at fighting all of a sudden? "
Xiao Ruxun looked at the poor situation at the front and was shocked. None of the guards around him could give him good advice. He began to miss Yuan Huang, who was still in North Korea dealing with the post-war affairs for him. If Yuan Huang was here, he would definitely be able to solve his problems. But now, there was no one to help him. The only experienced Ma Gui was still at Luo Shangzhi's side. Xiao Ruxun was a little distressed.
But gradually, Xiao Ruxun discovered that the Japanese army seemed to be divided into several parts. They were rampaging on the Ming Army's defense line. It seemed that some important figures were the core. They surrounded the core and attacked the Ming Army's defense line, causing the Ming Army's defense line to be in danger. Even the artillery soldiers could not stop this momentum, let alone the exhausted shield soldiers and gunmen. This situation was not quite right. Xiao Ruxun felt that this must be the plan of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui.
But now that things had come to this, Xiao Ruxun had to personally go to the front line to boost morale. Otherwise, if the Japanese army really broke through his defense line, where would his face as the commander-in-chief be?
Patting his warhorse, Xiao Ruxun led his guards to the front line and brought the commander-in-chief's flag. When the Ming Army heard the rumbling war drums, they saw that the commander-in-chief's flag was heading towards the front line. They knew that it was their Admiral Xiao personally going into battle. As the admiral, Admiral Xiao personally went into battle and fought with them. Thinking of this, the Ming Army soldiers suddenly felt a surge of strength in their hearts.
As the commander-in-chief's flag approached, the morale of the Ming Army recovered especially quickly. When Xiao Ruxun arrived at the front line, the morale of the Ming Army had completely recovered. A large number of Ming Army soldiers howled and charged towards the Japanese army. Their morale was like a rainbow against a rainbow. Another round of fierce battle broke out between the two armies.
And at this time, Li Rusong's Jurchen cavalry had already charged into the rear of the Japanese army. The Ming Army's strategy of attacking from the front and the back had been realized. The Japanese army's defeat was difficult to reverse. The only question was how much damage could be saved.
