Chapter 26: The Fierce Battle of Settsu (3)

"Owari Ghost Boy Heishou Keijiro Hideyi participates, who dares to fight!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and one man and one rode away, rushing straight to the area where the enemy's fire was most abundant and the soldiers were most dense.

The gibbous moon is nearly full, the silver is sparkling, and the flat hand Xiuyi is wearing a golden armor and red robe, and the crotch is a white horse imported from Andalusia, and he is holding a large spear with a blade of one foot and three inches, like a god of death harvesting life in the dark, and it is majestic.

In the chaotic battle at night, the situation was difficult to distinguish, Ikeda Hengxing thought that the enemy was in a plan, and according to the original plan, the division rushed to the aid of the main formation, but he did not expect to be intercepted and killed, and the battle situation was naturally very bad. Takigawa Kazuyi acted more cautiously, and instead of rushing to retreat, he repeatedly tried several times, and the situation was slightly better.

However, although the Miyoshi Nagayi army made a little start, it also encountered fierce resistance and could not deal with it calmly. At this moment, the sudden appearance of Hisho Xiuyi with a mobile force was also unexpected by the three good army.

"I'm looking for death! Shoot the arrows together! โ€

After rushing for dozens of steps, he was already close to the battle formation, and vaguely, it seemed that there was a rough voice of the enemy general on the opposite side who cursed, but no one came out to meet the battle, only heard more than a dozen consecutive sounds of breaking the sky, and a rain of whizzing arrows rushed to the face.

Although it was called for battle, no one from the top and bottom of the Sanhao Army stood up to meet the battle, and it meant "one horse". After all, it was all a legacy of peace, and the Warring States Period was about efficiency rather than face.

Hisho Xiuyi was arrogant on the surface, but he was not stupid, before the charge, he had already prepared, as early as when he approached the enemy formation, he rode his crotch mount, came twice in a row left and right sharp turns, took a zigzag route, and at the same time shrunk on the horse, bent down and bowed his head, holding the front end of the grab handle with his hand and swinging it as hard as he could, trying to sweep away the arrow.

This series of actions is not done by ordinary samurai, and even if it is done in the face of a large army, it is of little practical use. But in the current situation, it can still effectively resist the fire.

Immediately behind him was Kerry Caizang, who was more conspicuous in his silver armor than Xiuyi in a draw, but he was lean and athletic, extremely agile, and better at riding, and he was also unharmed by long-range strikes.

On the contrary, it was the third in line, Liu Zhimo, who let out a muffled sound of "hum", and it was actually an arrow. He was wearing black armor and black clothes, which was the best concealment, but his luck was really bad.

Then dozens of horsemen galloped in a loose formation, and the sound of bowstrings in the Miyoshi army sounded a second round, and in an instant, several people were injured and shouted, and even one of the most unlucky guys fell off his horse, and immediately lost his life, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When Hisho Hideyi was still called "Keijiro", he was young and frivolous, strong and ruthless, and he loved to make friends with the brave people of the neighborhood, and with the acquiescence and support of his uncle Tsuno, he recruited a large number of rural ronins who were good at martial arts as retainers, with a total of sixty or seventy, known as a hundred horsemen, charging forward in each battle, brave and incomparable, and terrifying.

But no matter how strong and brave he is, after being hit by the vital point in the gap in the armor, he is also a standing pounce.

Life and death exist in an instant, and I don't care about worrying about my teammates. Pingshou Xiuyi avoided this rain of arrows and shouted an eight-character mantra taught to him by Fan Xiu: "If you give up your life, you will live, and if you are afraid of death, you will die!" He had already fled into the crowd of the enemy.

Miyoshi Changyi's rebellion this time is to press the old roots and mobilize the most loyal and tenacious foundation. Half of the centaurs used to attack Ikeda Tsuneko were veterans who had followed Miyoshi Chokei.

Therefore, although the enemy panicked, he did not mess up.

Seeing that Hikawa Hideyi was about to hit the pile, the first few ashigaru who bore the brunt of the battle, instead of avoiding it, instead raised their spears diagonally, inserted the end of the handle into the ground, and crossed each other to cover each other, forming a gun net facing each other, intending to withstand the impact of the knight.

If there is a high-speed collision, the cavalry will certainly be killed by the reaction force, and the infantry will definitely be smashed to pieces. But the corpses of both sides, as well as the broken blades of their spears, were able to effectively stop the further charge of the subsequent cavalry.

In an instant, these ashigaru decisively made judgments that were most conducive to the overall situation, intending to die together.

However, how can "Ghost Boy Keiji" be comparable to ordinary knights?

The war horse under his crotch was also carefully selected by the Pingshou family, and he spent a lot of money to buy it from the Nanban, and he could sell it for 2,000 pieces in the Kai Town, which can be called a divine horse.

It was too late, it was too late, and seeing that the galloping horse was about to hit the tip of the spear, Hisho Xiuyi's eyes widened, his legs clamped the horse's belly tightly, and he shouted, "It's good!" โ€

I saw that the war horse, which was already as fast as a swimming dragon, suddenly gave birth to a hot wheel under its feet, and it was a little more rapid, as if it was about to ascend to the sky.

The passage of time seemed to have come to a standstill, and Hirate Hideyi rode the horse and leaped like a meteor to rush over before the enemy's gun array was encircled.

The horse's paw landed, just stepping on the two grab handles, and the strong force made the opposite ashigaru unable to hold it, and had to let go of the palm.

In an instant, the arm of the tie hand was like a swift wind, the momentum was like lightning, the silver light flashed under the moonlight, and the blade of the spear struck three times in a row along a graceful arc, slashing through the chests of the three enemy soldiers.

At this moment, he was awe-inspiring like a god of war riding a dragon, and he could take the lives of enemy soldiers with every move, which was something that extraordinary mortal forces could resist.

Rao is three good soldiers, most of them have experienced a hundred battles, but it is inevitable that there will be a moment when they can't turn around.

How can the battle be fought like this?

Seizing this opportunity, Ke'er Caizang burst in from the left side of Hirate Xiuyi, as smooth as a stream flowing into an anthill, without the slightest feeling of stagnation. The heavy and slender ten-character spear, like an embroidery needle between a woman's fingers, pierced the throat of the enemy infantry with precision.

Almost at the same time, Naosue Ichiyanagi let out a loud shout, pulled out the feather arrow from the shoulder socket with his left hand, and single-handedly held a large naginata knife with his right arm, and cut down a walking samurai of the Miyoshi family to the ground like a log.

"Follow me!"

After tearing open a temporary gap, Hirate immediately drove his mount away, staring at the enemy's most blazing position and accelerating forward again.

But he consciously deflected an angle, not intending to smash Huanglong directly, but trying to cut diagonally to disrupt the opposite formation.

The sound of hooves behind him, dusty, it seems that there are thousands of troops, but in fact, there are less than a hundred cavalry, and no matter how well-trained the rest of the foot soldiers are, it is impossible to break through the physiological limit, and they will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the war horse's charge.

Therefore, the task of the cavalry is not to crush the enemy, but to create as much advantage as possible for the follow-up infantry.

"Hah! Ha! โ€

Dozens of Lang dang followed behind Hirate Hideyi, smashed into the enemy's Ashigaru front along the gap, then turned to the right and drilled out from the side.

In a hurry, there were not many people who could be separated from the Miyoshi Army to deal with the surprise attack, and coupled with this successful charge, its command system began to be a little chaotic.

"I'm Yoshimasa Izawa! The third reserve man hurriedly approached me, don't mess up, stop the cavalry in front! โ€

"The Saijo family obeys! The plan changes, and the whole turns back! The enemies of the Ikeda family are temporarily handed over to friendly forces! โ€

"Haru Tada is here! Come with me, brethren! It's our turn to go to war! The goal is to support Isawa-sama! โ€

In the midst of the chaos, loud shouts gradually began to sound.

This is the backbone of the Miyoshi Army to rectify the order, and also sent a reserve. Although it seemed noisy, it had a role, and the soldiers, hearing the familiar voices, gathered closer to their respective masters.

At this moment, the ashigaru team of the Hirate family also came close to arriving at the scene.

"Owari Yamauchi Ichitoyo ginseng!"

"Lao Tzu is Honda Zhengzhong, come to take your dog's life!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, colliding with the two reserve teams of the Miyoshi family, Saijo and Tada.

This is not a common situation in which the two sides stand still and test each other with bows and arrows and bamboo guns, and there are few casualties in the fight for a long time, but the foot warriors charge forward with short soldiers, face to face!

The soldiers fell to the ground in pieces like rice harvesters, flesh and blood flying sideways like blenders.

In an instant, the casualty rate exceeded 10%.

Ordinary daimyo or the troops of the country's people, first penetrated by the cavalry, and then suffered this kind of strong attack, they would have collapsed so long ago that they could not see it. However, the Miyoshi Army is still supporting.

Hisho Xiuyi, who had just led the cavalry through the enemy's formation, and then turned back to complete the second charge, rode his horse to the right side a hundred paces away to take a breather, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and made a comeback, without even having time to wipe the wound.

"Old bear! Are you still holding up? Ke'er hid her eyes and caught a glimpse of the bright red that kept flowing from the shoulders of the willow straight.

"What the hell? No problem! The latter spoke rudely and dismissively.

"Good!" Hisho Xiuyi waved his gun and pointed in one direction, "Did you hear that just now?" That Ezawa Yoshimasa is probably the commander of this group of enemies! Now that their reserves are all sent, we will take the enemy directly! โ€

"Take the enemy directly!"

Dozens of knights shouted in unison.

Tie Xiuyi was at the front, Ke'er Caizang and Ichiliu Naomo were separated from each other, and then everyone kept their distance, formed a cone-shaped formation, and charged again.

"Damn! There are pits! โ€

Suddenly, a knight stumbled and flew out.

A man and a horse on the side were knocked down and planted on the ground.

"Keep up with the back team and stay in formation!" Hirator Xiuyi didn't care about his comrades at all, and just calmly shouted the order.

Applying all kindness to the forefront, and devising the most reasonable plan, would greatly reduce the danger of the soldiers' death; However, once on the battlefield, don't think about anything about mercy anymore - this is what Fan Xiu once confessed, and he has always taken it to heart.

Of course, another wave of arrows has arrived.

The enemy is also a hundred soldiers, even if they are disrupted, they will not forget the weapons in their hands like a rookie egg.

Several knights fell to the groundโ€”perhaps four or five, based on the sounds.

But only this round was given a chance, and the remaining fifty or so horsemen rushed into the formation with the momentum of angry waves.

"Raise your gun! Close! The enemy is nothing but flesh and blood! Nothing to be afraid of! โ€

The general of the Miyoshi family is still trying to boost morale.

However, some soldiers who saw the death of their comrades-in-arms have lost the courage to fight against the "ghost boy Keiji".

Tie Xiuyi is like a tiger entering a flock, coming and going like the wind, the gun is like a rainbow, stepping on a horse to break the formation seems to be a bag to get things, three out and three in and three into the killing like hemp, but there is no scar on the body, not even blood marks. The firelight and the moonlight mingled, and his face flickered, like a ghost walking between reality and the void.

The onlookers gradually felt "invincible" in their hearts.

Suddenly, Ashigaru of the Miyoshi family threw away the spear in his hand and fled backwards without looking back.

Then came the second, the third......

The enemy is defeated!

Hisho Xiuyi brandished his spear and killed an enemy soldier in front of him who was still resisting, feeling very proud but a little unsatisfied.

At this moment, he heard a loud and thunderous shout in the distance:

"I'm a good Zhengkang, and I'm here to fight the ghost boy!"

Of course, the vocals can't really thunder, but it sounds like it has that effect.

Then I was surprised to find that the defeated soldiers, who had obviously lost their will to fight, actually picked up their weapons and continued to fight!
