Chapter 526: Wood (16)
After the second hedge, blood and corpses were sprinkled all over the Shura field again. Due to the firmness of the Yuqiu army and the slight vacillation of the Red Reserve Army. This time, only sixty of the Yuqiu army fell, while Chibei fell a full hundred.
"Your Highness, withdraw." Kiso Yoshinao, who was hiding in the back row and narrowly escaped, couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and rode his horse to Changjing's side in Shan County, and suggested in a deep voice, "The Yuqiu Army has gone crazy, we can't fight with them!" ”
"Shut up, brute! How can the samurai retreat! Hearing this, Shan County Changjing roared angrily at Kiso Yoshinao, almost frightening Kiso Yoshinao to fall off the horse.
"For more than ten years, the Red Reserve Army has only known how to kill the enemy, but not to retreat! Even if you die, you will die on the way to the charge! Shan Changjing roared again, "Men from Koshu, take out your blood!" The dignified 600 Akabi was defeated by 400 miscellaneous soldiers led by a female samurai from the Imagawa family, do you want to become the laughing stock of the whole world after tea and dinner? Want to be the scum of the samurai! ”
"If you don't want to, rush with me! Today, we and the Red Leaf Cavalry, fight to the death! Take down the heads of the autumn leaves and pay tribute to the dead brothers! ”
·
"Rush again, crush Chibei!"
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Yu Qiuping also shouted orders again. The Red Leaf Cavalry lined up again in a roar, even though the formation had become more and more narrow and thin, but as long as Yu Qiuping was still in the first place, the morale would never fall.
As the horse's speed gradually increases, the distance gradually approaches. Yu Qiuping noticed that the formation of the Red Reserve team was even looser than the last time.
Because of Chibei, it has been shaken.
Due to the scolding of Yama Yama Masaki and the obsession with his own honor as a samurai, Kiso Yoshinao rushed to the battlefield again. Although the hesitant thoughts in his heart continued to erode his courage, he still forced himself to rush to the first row. He seemed to want to use the glory of rushing in the first row to cheer up his wavering self, so that he could regain the glory of enjoying the gaze of thousands of people as a pioneer in the past.
However, when he raised his eyes to look at the troops in front of him, the fear in his heart rose instantly. It's not a military formation, it's a wall. Not only because the cavalry queue was as dense as an iron wall, but also because everyone in that military formation burst out with the momentum of looking at death as if they were at home. Everyone was not afraid to die with the enemy, such a terrifying army was difficult to look at, and Kiso Yoshinao could even feel the forced gaze of the knights of the Yuqiu Army, as if his inner wavering was seen at a glance.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid.
He lowered his head, closed his eyes and clamped the horse's belly, constantly hypnotizing himself.
You were the first to reach the city, you were alone against a tenfold enemy in order to retreat, you were the first to charge in the face of bullets and bullets. You weren't afraid then, but what are you afraid of now? Isn't it just death? How can a samurai be afraid of death? Why were you afraid of death before? What the hell is wrong with you today? Do you want to lose the face of your family and become the laughing stock of the samurai?
However, the more he cheered himself up, the more wavering and fear in his heart became. This samurai, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, actually began to tremble on his horse at this moment, and he couldn't even hold his sword steadily.
It wasn't hedging, it wasn't a fight between samurai, it wasn't a battlefield – it was an execution ground. No matter how you struggle, no matter how brave you are, when you collide with that wall, you will be taken away by death, and there is no point in any struggle. Isn't this like a vegetable market, waiting for the executioner to wield a knife?
When he suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, and saw the wall that had hit him on the opposite side, the warrior's psychological defense line was instantly destroyed. What broke his spirit was not the fear of death, but the despair in the heart of the defenseless primitive humans, inherited from the ancient genes, in the face of a natural disaster that was destined to be irresistible.
It's not a person on the other side...
·
As if possessed by some ghost, Kiso Yoshinao slammed the reins of his horse, pinned his horse's head to the right, and ran out of the formation without looking back. His escape triggered an avalanche-like reaction, and dozens of Chibei, who had been extremely shaken in their hearts, left the position and fled to both sides.
However, Changjing, who rushed in the middle of the first row, did not see the deserters on either side, his eyes were just staring at the horse prints of the red leaves in the rain and autumn. The ghost makes the god bad, and after three hedges, the rain and autumn flat with the maple bird and horse mark are all safe and sound. "But this time, you don't have that luck." Shan County Changjing secretly sneered, "My Shan County Changjing personally came to take your life, where are you going to escape?" ”
He understood that if this continued, the cavalry hedging against Chibei this time would undoubtedly be defeated, and unless Changjing, a county magistrate, could directly ask for the soul of the Yuqiu family, Yuqiu Red Leaves, it would be possible to save the sluggish morale.
Suddenly, the general's mind recalled a past. It was a heads-up outside Sunfu City a few years ago. The unwilling Asahina samurai left such a sentence.
·
"Not really... cough cough cough cough..."Asahina Taehyung smiled when he heard this, and after coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood heavily, he almost used all his strength to say in a deep voice: "I will listen to you to the master!" The strongest person in our Imagawa family is my younger brother, called Yuqiu Momiji! If you destroy the Imagawa family's revenge, that kid will definitely avenge me! ”
·
"Cut, now I'll take your knife and send your little brother to hell to see you!" Shan County Changjing snorted coldly. His sword had already been knocked out in the scuffle, so he pulled out the katana court cut he had captured from Asahina Taihyung from the spare scabbard at his waist and killed him at Yuakihei.
·
Yu Qiuping rode his horse forward, and suddenly found that in front of him, there was a red reserve cavalry dressed in obvious distinction, rushing towards him. Yu Qiuping took a closer look and found that he was wearing a white silk weiwei and a big golden spade-shaped pocket, which was exactly the same as the costume of the portrait of Changjing in the later Shan County.
There is nothing wrong with that.
"Nabenosuke! Over to you! Yu Qiuping pointed to the location of Yama Prefecture Changjing with a thousand birds, and at the same time yelled at Honda Tadakatsu beside him:
"That person is Changjing of Shanxian County!"
"Die!" Honda Tadakatsu roared angrily, raised the dragonfly cut in his hand high, and swept towards the rushing Shan County Changjing regardless of it. Shan County Changjing was also red-eyed, and he didn't block this mortal attack, and stabbed the katana in his hand at Yu Qiuping, wanting to replace Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping didn't have time to dodge, so he had to use Chidori to block - he knew that with such an action to block, he himself would definitely be knocked off his horse by a huge momentum, and his body could not withstand such an impact, and he would definitely die.
However, the ghost sent the gods to the gods, I don't know if Asahina Taehyung has a spirit in the sky, and the sword that has been passed down for countless generations by the Asahina family suddenly shattered itself without warning in the moment before the two swords met. The blade flew towards Yu Qiuping by inertia, and was easily bounced away by Chidori.
Shan County Changjing looked at the bounced blade and the half-broken knife in his hand with an incredible expression, and in the next moment, there was a tearing pain and coldness in his waist and abdomen. Honda Tadashi took a horizontal slash from the dragonfly and directly cut off the neck of Shan Shan Changjing's sitting horse, and cut into the waist and abdomen of Shan Shan County Changjing. Honda Tadakatsu quickly twisted his hands, changed his hand shape, and with the momentum of the horse charge, he slammed it as if using a lever, and directly put Yama Yama Masakai on the tip of the dragonfly's spear, picked it up from the horse, and hung it high in the air, and sprinkled blood like a splash of blood on the army formation of the Red Leaf Cavalry.
"Shan County Changjing has been taken by me!"
Honda Tadakatsu let out a ghostly roar. This roar and the corpse of Shan Shan Changjing being picked up in the air completely destroyed the last morale of Chibei. In addition to the dozens of Chibi who were trying to recapture the body of Yama Shojing, the other Chibi warriors who were still charging turned their horses and retreated towards both sides. But the Yuqiu army has already accelerated to the fastest, where is it too late for them to retreat now? After the dozens of moths were swept away by the Momiji cavalry, hundreds of the Red Reserves who hurriedly turned to flee were cut down directly from behind by the Yuqiu army, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army fled to the north without looking back.
·
Akabi was destroyed.
In the dignified cavalry hedge, it was directly destroyed by the Red Leaf Cavalry of the Yuqiu Army.
The battlefield, which was still resounding with shouts of killing and cheers, fell silent in an instant, and everyone seemed to lose their voices for a short time, looking at the battlefield north of the Nishikanda River in disbelief, looking at the Yamasan-magi that was held high by Honda Tadakatsu on the tip of the spear and the maple bird and horse prints fluttering in the wind.
Like Takeda Shingen, Yama Yama Shokei's Akabi was also part of the Takeda Army's belief in invincibility. However, in front of all of them, the Red Leaf Cavalry personally destroyed their former faith. They would rather accept that Chibei died under the siege of ten thousand armies, under the rain of bullets from iron cannons, and under the encirclement and suppression of pikemen, rather than accept that Chibei was defeated by the impartial cavalry opposition.
The morale of the Takeda army suddenly fell to the bottom, and the Yuqiu army let out earth-shaking cheers because of the amazing performance of the commander of the heavenly gods. The morale seemed to be reversed in an instant between the yin and yang poles, so fast that no one reacted. The only thing that can prove that everything just now is not dreamy, is the proud maple bird horse print.
Nobuharu Baba, Masatyo Naito, and Masanobu Takasaka, who witnessed all this, were all stunned.
Takeda Katsuyori, who stood in the main formation and watched the whole process, was even more shocked that he couldn't even stand on his feet, and couldn't say a word, just watched in a daze as the corpse of Yama County Masakai was picked up on the tip of the gun by Honda Tadashi Katsumi.
And Takeda Shingen's eyes flashed a sharp ruthlessness for the first time, and a murderous aura suddenly burst out on his body.
"Oda Nobunaga, if you can get it, you can get rid of it. Rain and autumn red leaves, must be killed. ”
He spit out these words lightly, and then glanced at the battle situation again, as if he was completely unaffected by the destruction of Chibei and the death of Ai General, and whispered to Takeda Katsuyori in a murderous voice, "In order to meet Chibei, Yuqiu Momiji has exhausted the last reserves, although Chibei has won, but the Yuqiu family, which has no mobile troops to support, is still defeated." At this moment, you immediately lead the 1,000 banners of the headquarters to break through the enemy's defense line and annihilate the Yuqiu army here! He's got an important hole in his defence, so you go and attack now......"
However, before the words could be spoken, a violent roar suddenly sounded on the mountain on the east bank of the Kakida River, where Hosoyanagi had already been captured by Naito Masatoyo, which was the sound of artillery firing.
Takeda Shingen intuitively looked over there, and immediately saw that the direction of the artillery fire was coming towards the high ground where his own camp was. In the previous series of shelling, the accuracy of the artillery of the Yuqiu Army was terrifyingly high, and this formation will definitely suffer! Takeda Shingen didn't have time to inform others, so he immediately grabbed the horse's belly and rushed downhill to the high ground, trying to dodge the shell. I never thought that the artillery of the Yuqiu Army, which had been on track for so long, was crooked this time, and the shell did not hit the main formation directly above the high ground, but fell straight to the north slope of the high ground, just in front of the horse of Takeda Shingen, who had just dodged here!
Hearing only a "bang", Takeda Shingen sat down and was startled by the loud noise in front of him, and suddenly stood up. Takeda Shingen was caught off guard and was thrown off the horse directly and rolled down the hill. After being helped, he was already unconscious.
"Father!" Takeda Katsuyori was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately beckoned all the people in the camp to run in the direction of Takeda Shingen, and there was chaos around the shogunate. The shelling just now also alarmed everyone on the battlefield in the east. Seeing this, Takasaka Masanobu left the troops without saying a word, and rode his horse to the main camp to check on the safety of Takeda Shingen.
The chaos in this camp could not be cleaned up because of Takeda Shingen's coma, and all the units of the Takeda Army, which was in turmoil, had no intention of fighting, and they were all worried that Takeda Shingen had encountered an accident, so they stopped the attack, disconnected from the Yuqiu army, and retreated towards Mayin. And then, the Takeda Army's Wind Forest Volcano Ma Yin issued the last order - all withdraw from the basin.
