Chapter 534: The Death of the Samurai
The 1st and 2nd squadrons took turns to fight, changing waves every quarter of an hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe men of the two squadrons firmly blocked the road to the main camp, and did not give the southern family a chance to get closer.
Compared with the uniformity of the Tsugawa family, the southern family Ashigaru is a little chaotic. Often, when the Tsugawa family's spear was stabbed, several southern family ashigaru fell to the ground. It's as easy as cutting wheat.
However, there are so many people who can't stand the southern family! The ashigaru in front has fallen, and even if you don't want to go up, you'll be pushed and squeezed by the back. A steady stream of southern families poured over one after another. They have only one goal, and that is to repel the Tsugawa family's troops in front of them and rush towards the Tsugawa family's main formation.
Kansuke is numb!
Kansuke also went into battle three times, and there were only 11 of them left, who originally had more than 20 people. More than half dead.
Kansuke's right calf was also stabbed by the ashigaru of the southern family, and if it hadn't been for a sidelight next to him pulling Kansuke, the spear would have pierced Kansuke's chest directly.
"How long will this battle last! Koharu, I don't know if I'll see you again! Kansuke's lonely heart showed the graceful figure of his wife, and this was the only courage to support Kansuke to continue fighting.
Before, Kansuke also thought that he could rely on his life to get some bereavement benefits for his family to tide over the difficulties. But when Kansuke looked at his companions who had died in battle, Kansuke didn't want to die anymore. Is it bad to be alive?
..........
The southern family suffered heavy casualties, and the Tsugawa family was not much better.
After nearly an hour of fighting, the Tsugawa family's four squadrons of Ashigaru 200 people who were originally left behind in the main formation, plus the temporary mobilization of troops and flags, nearly 300 troops are now more than 100 people who can continue to fight, and almost all of them are wounded!
The 3rd Squadron has been crippled, and there are still more than 10 people left, and if it weren't for the 2nd Squadron giving up a chance to repair and go to support, the 3rd Squadron would have been wiped out by the Southern Family.
On the fourth squadron, thanks to the addition of Takahashi Xingjia, although the battle was in a predicament for a while, it was at least able to hold on. But this insistence may not last long.
There are still 17 of the 50 ashigaru members of the 4th Squadron, and there are more than 30 people in addition to the flag motoshi people brought by Takahashi Xingjia. And there are at least 100 people next to Naoyoshi Izumiyama! Nearly three times the gap.
"Takahashi Xingjia! I have to say that you are indeed an excellent samurai, in the lower south of the family general! The lord of Quanshan City, Quanshan Naoyoshi! You are qualified to introduce myself solemnly! Izumiyama Naoyoshi looked at the bloodied samurai not far away with admiration.
Izumiyama Naoyoshi didn't know how many scars he had left on Takahashi Xingjia's body, but Takahashi Xingjia still fought desperately like a person who had nothing to do, which made Izumiyama Naoyoshi sincerely rush to admire. Samurai are most likely to have such sympathy between each other, and Izumiyama Naoyoshi is no exception.
"It's better to surrender! You can make a suggestion to the head of the family and recruit you as a samurai of the family! A samurai as good as you shouldn't be buried with the Tsugawa family! Izumiyama Naoyoshi couldn't help but say loudly.
Takahashi Xingjia casually blocked the attack of a samurai from the southern family, and said without looking back, "Naoyoshi Izumiyama!" There are no cowards in my Tsugawa family! ā
"There are only samurai who died in battle! There will be no samurai who will surrender! In addition, if you only have this ability, then the southern family is no more! After saying that, Takahashi Xingjia laughed.
And the Tsugawa family Ashigaru on the side also laughed.
"I don't know what to do!" Izumiyama Naoyoshi scolded angrily, and then waved his big hand, "Keep attacking!" Kill all the people in the Tsugawa family for me! ā
"Wow!" Seeing that victory is imminent, the morale of the ashigaru people of the southern family has skyrocketed!
Looking at the southern family that had stepped up the offensive again, although Takahashi Xingjia didn't care about it on his face, he was actually very uneasy in his heart.
The righteous words just now are just Takahashi Xingjia's forced composure.
It was already difficult to repel the attack of the southern family with such inferior forces.
If the ashigaru combat effectiveness of the southern family is not strong, it will be fine, and the Takahashi Xingjia is confident that he can rely on his own martial arts and the elite of the ashigaru family to block the southern family! But the ashigaru of the southern family is also an elite army, and the gap is several times that of his own, which makes the Takahashi family feel a sense of powerlessness.
"Poof" Takahashi Xingjia first heard a voice, then felt a pain in his back, and looked back to see that a spear from the southern family Ashigaru had pierced Takahashi Xingjia's body. It may be that the strength of the ashigaru is not enough, or it may be that the defense of Takahashi Xingjia's big armor is amazing, or maybe it is the angle of the spear head piercing, Takahashi Xingjia knows that this is not a fatal injury.
"Look for death!" Although he knew that he couldn't die, Takahashi Xingjia was also enraged.
"Give me death!" Takahashi Xingjia looked back and slashed the ashigaru who was still wondering to the ground, and cut off his head with a backhand.
Blood continued to flow from Takahashi Xingjia's back, adding a little more thickness to the already blood-drenched armor.
At this time, Heijiro Matsuto came to Takahashi's side with heavy steps, "Takahashi-sama, the ashigaru people are about to lose their hold!" ā
"Except for Zaixia, the leader samurai of the rest of the squads have all been killed!" Heijiro Matsuto looked regretful.
"How long can the ashigaru hold out?" Takahashi asked.
"A quarter of an hour at most! This is still the case when the southern countries do not continue to increase their offensive. Heijiro Matsuto replied.
After listening to Heijiro Matsuto's words, Takahashi Koke fell silent.
"Heijiro, are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!" Matsuto Heijiro grinned, "This battle is to take the 7 people of the southern family Ashigaru and the two samurai, which is already enough!" There is a big hall here, and my Matsuto family has no worries! My brother died in the first step, and my Matsuto family also has no cowards! After speaking, Heijiro Matsuto looked at Takahashi Xingjia with an affirmative expression.
"Well done!" Takahashi Xingjia patted Matsuto Heijiro on the shoulder, "It is a blessing for my Takahashi Xingjia to be able to fight with all the warriors today!" I hope that in the next life, we can continue to fight side by side! ā
"Takahashi-sama, you're one step ahead!" Matsuto Heijiro said suddenly, and then took a step forward with a resolute face, "Fourth squadron, charge with me!" ā
"Fourth Squadron!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The remaining dozen or so people of the fourth squadron followed closely beside Heijiro Matsuto, and the spears in their hands were neatly lined up.
The steps of Heijiro Matsuto and others are very slow!
After a long time of fighting, everyone was already physically and mentally exhausted! But at this moment, all the exhaustion and injuries turned into the courage to fight to the death, and no one flinched.
"Stabbing!"
"Thorn!"
"Stabbing!"
"Stab again!"
No more orders to defend and retreat were heard, only offensive slogans fluttered on the battlefield! The 4th Squadron followed the instructions of Heijiro Matsuto, and advanced step by step towards the southern Ashigaru in front of them.
Looking at the fourth squadron of the difficult front army in front, Takahashi Xingjia and Qimoto in the rear burst into tears!
