The gloomy sound of pines was blown into the camp by the wind. The tent swelled up like some kind of white creature. "Pa la pa la" rolled and continued to send out elegiac songs. "Yojiro, Yojiro!" "exist!" "Who sent the envoy who just came to tell you something and then hurried back?" "what?" "Why don't you tell me one by one?" "That... because it's not sure that's true." "No matter what, tell me the order. Yojiro!" "yes." "Cheer up! Are you even in a mess?" "That's what you said. Hori and Jiro meet each other by death."

"Ok." Mitsuhide suddenly noticed that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice.Then, thinking back to what Hori and Jiro had just taught, in fact, he should have told himself more. Compared with the daytime, the base camp of Gobozuka can only hear the sound of pines that seem a bit lonely.He looked around dejectedly. Down the gentle slope are continuous fields.At a glance, Jiuwoyuan is in the east, Beiyue Mountain in the north, and the battlefield of Yuanmyoji River in the west. Now there are only twinkling stars and pitch-black night. From Shenshi to Youshi, only three hours have passed.The flags of our own side, which were scattered all over the mountains and plains, no longer know where to go - they have all been killed.Mitsuhide had difficulty remembering the names of those killed in battle that kept coming in.

All this happened in these three hours.Now, Hori and Jiro undoubtedly received another bad news.However, I'm afraid he has lost the courage to convey it to Mitsusu by now.After being reprimanded by Guangxiu, he stood under the hill again, leaning his armored back against the pine tree trunk, looking up at the starry sky silently. "who?" Yojiro suddenly picked up the pistol that was used as a walking stick, and yelled loudly at the rider on horseback who was parked in the darkness opposite. "My own people! My own people!" A black figure crawled up panting heavily.Judging from his footsteps, it was obvious that he was injured.After the man approached, Yojiro stretched out his arm to the person in amazement.

"Isn't this Xingbu? Come on, grab my shoulder." "Oh...Yojiro. Where's my lord?" "Up there." "Are you still here? It's too dangerous! You can't stay here anymore!" Kagawa Xingbu, he belongs to Fujita Dengo's subordinates, and is a general in Zhizhi's army. Before Guangxiu's case, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs put its hands on the ground and almost fell forward. "Saito-sama, Aguan-sama, Tsuda-sama, and the other five masters headed by Fujita Den, the entire army was wiped out. Our generals and elite soldiers are all dead, and it is impossible to count their names one by one."

"..." Under the dark pine shadow, only Guangxiu's face turned pale, and he didn't answer, as if he didn't hear. The words of the Ministry of Justice were bitter. "One time, Hideyoshi's central army was already cornered, but when the darkness approached, the retreat was disrupted, and the whereabouts of the main general, Dengo, was also missing... In addition, Mimaki Sanzaemon-sama's army also fell into the enemy's heavy siege , after a bitter battle, the army of more than 200 people from Lord Yumu finally retreated to my tribe in Xijiu. Lord Yumu said to me: "I can't stay here anymore, let my lord retreat to Shenglong Temple City as soon as possible." , or defend the city, or flee to Jiangzhou in the dark. I think this is a good strategy! You hurry to Gobozuka and convey my Sanzaemon's words to the lord! I, Sanzaemon, will definitely be behind this palace Until then, when we see the signal that the lord is fully retreating, the remaining two hundred of us will rush to Hideyoshi's formation and fight to the death." That's what my lord said."

Guangxiu remained silent. After completing the mission, the Ministry of Punishment fell flat all of a sudden.He fell on the ground and did not answer after being called several times. Mitsuhide had been watching him all the time, now he turned his head and asked Yojiro coldly: "Is the Ministry of Justice seriously injured?" "Yes!" Yojiro said with tears in his eyes. "Looks like he's gone." "yes!" "Yojiro..." Mitsuhide suddenly asked in a completely different tone, "What did you say in the messenger's report you received just now?"

"Now I will tell you without any concealment. According to the report, Tsutsui Junying's army suddenly went down to Dongling and attacked us from the side of Yodo Castle. Therefore, even the army headed by Saito Toshisan could not resist. live, and our entire army is defeated." "What should I do? It turns out that's the matter." "Even if I tell you now, it will be irreversible, and it will only increase your unhappiness and troubles. In fact, I planned to find an opportunity to report to you." "It's nothing, that's how people are. Especially those who follow others, they are also the most common in the world. People who do such things are nothing to worry about!"

Kwang Soo smiled.He wasn't trying to force a smile.After that, he waved to the rear, and suddenly shouted anxiously: "Let the horse, horse!"
