Chapter 376 Prisoners of War



With a "clang" sound!

A crisp clash rang out, and sparks flew as the two swords clashed!

Fukuyama groaned, a large amount of blood seeping from his chest. He took two steps back before regaining his footing.

Qi Jiguang gave him no chance to catch his breath, taking two steps forward and slashing with his sword again!

Fukuyama gritted his teeth and struggled to raise his knife to block, but a sharp pain shot through his chest.

With a "snap," Fukuyama was slashed to the ground, his katana flying out of his hand. He fell to the ground with a long, narrow gash on his chest!

Large gushes of blood gushed from his chest, and Fukuyama also coughed up blood with a loud "whoosh".

"You...you guys, where did you get all these weapons...?" Fukuyama asked, clutching his chest and coughing up blood as he lay on the ground.

Qi Jiguang raised an eyebrow and walked towards him.

What do you think?

Fukuyama was shocked, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"No one else was here before, so you must have come from...."

Before he could finish speaking, Fukuyama's head drooped limply, and he died.

Qi Jiguang examined his dead body and fell into a brief moment of contemplation, but only for a short while before he immediately led his troops forward.

——

"Don't let a single person escape!"

On the flank, Lü Bu and his cavalry were pursuing and killing the fleeing Japanese soldiers!

Unlike before, Lü Bu carried a large bow from the very beginning of this battle. At this moment, he looked at the enemy group and saw that the Japanese soldiers were gathered in one place. It was obvious that the commander of the Japanese pirates was being protected there!

Lu Bu snorted coldly, placed his halberd on the Victory Hook, and then took out a bow and arrow from his back!

He spotted that spot and fired!

With a loud "bang!"

"ah!"

A scream rang out beside Ito Junyoshi, and at the same time, a Japanese soldier fell from his horse with an arrow stuck in his chest!

Ito Junji looked flustered and hurriedly shouted:

"Watch out! Watch out for arrows!"

"Protect the general!"

The Japanese soldiers on the side roared along with them. They gathered together and protected Ito Sumiyoshi in the center. Some soldiers on horseback turned around and fired their arquebuses at the cavalry!

"Bang bang bang!"

With a series of booming sounds and billowing smoke, several lead bullets were fired into the distance!

Although the sound was loud, these shots did not have much effect.

The cavalry were too far away, a hundred paces away, and for the lead bullets fired from the arquebuses to be effective, they would need to be within fifty paces.

Even if a shot hits from a hundred paces away, it still cannot penetrate the armor!

Unlike matchlock guns, the arrows fired by archers could travel much farther, and at that distance, the arrows were undoubtedly more lethal!

Just like now.

Most of these cavalrymen were archers, and they were firing arrows continuously!

Arrows rained down from the sky, as dense as a sudden downpour. The sky was covered with countless arrows, which struck the crowd. In a short while, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell from their horses!

Behind these mounted Japanese soldiers were the infantry, who didn't even have warhorses and were being constantly worn down by the Qi Family Army from behind.

Desperate screams echoed across the battlefield, and Ito Junyoshi's heart sank to the bottom.

"It's over...."

"Will this battle be like Murata's... a complete defeat?"

As he began to mutter to himself, just like Fukuyama before him, Ito Junyoshi suddenly awoke.

"Baka!"

"Huang Tianwei! You're lying to us?!"

"Rustling sound!!!"

The constant stream of arrows interrupted Ito Sumiyoshi's thoughts. Suddenly, his warhorse let out a high-pitched neigh and leaped up, causing Ito Sumiyoshi to stumble and nearly fall off.

Ito Junyoshi turned his head and saw that there was an arrow stuck in the horse's rump!

Half of the arrow had penetrated the horse's rump. In pain, the warhorse began to gallop wildly. There were guards beside it, but now the horse went berserk and crashed into the horse in front of it.

"Oh no!"

The situation was urgent, and Ito Junyoshi quickly let go and jumped off his warhorse.

The soldier beside him hurriedly stretched out his hand: "General, mount my horse!"

He grabbed Ito Sumiyoshi and struggled to pull him onto the horse. Ito Sumiyoshi was about to jump up, but more and more arrows were being shot at him, and in his panic, he could not get on the horse no matter what he did.

Then a loud shout came from behind:

"General! Don't run!"

"Let's... let's vote!!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Jun's pupils dilated, and he turned his head to look in fury.

It was Miura! Sometime during the day, he had already chosen to surrender, and now he was being held back by several people, shouting loudly.

"Baka!" Ito Junyoshi cursed.

How could someone who was so belligerent before suddenly want to surrender at this moment?

Do you think this enemy offensive will give me a chance to surrender? It's utterly foolish!

Enraged, Ito Junyoshi ran quickly and finally found an opportunity to mount a warhorse. But when he turned his head to look ahead, a deep sense of despair overwhelmed him.

Unbeknownst to them, the enemy cavalry had already outflanked them from the flank, and their retreat route had been completely cut off.

With cavalry in front and pursuers behind, Ito Sumiyoshi seemed to have all his strength drained away.

His voice trembled as he spoke: "Go...break through!!!"
