Chapter 993: "Second Battalion Commander", Where's Your Portuguese Cannon!
Although the number of troops under the command of Date Minoru is the same as that of Yukihide Hazu and others, on the one hand, they are tired like dogs, even if the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Tsugawa family are much stronger, but in the case of physical exhaustion, they do not show any advantages.
Even, the Date family still occupies a certain advantage!
Date Minoru himself also sat in a sedan chair in the procession and roared to boost the morale of the Ashigaru, seeing that the old lords were so "not afraid of death", Date Sokiyo and other Date family samurai can be said to be the first to take the lead, and even the Ashigaru people were greatly inspired.
It's as if the Tsugawa family on the other side is made of mud.
When the Date family's Ashigaru rushed into the Tsugawa family's formation, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru had not had time to adjust, and the formation was scattered. The samurai of the Date family, led by Date Munekiyo, were like arrows, and they passed directly through the middle of the Tsugawa family's ashigaru, breaking the four ashigaru squadrons of the Tsugawa family along the way.
Yuzu Yukihide didn't care about anything else, and immediately pulled out his sword and shouted, "Come with me!" ”
Yoshino Yoshino was not to be outdone, picked up a spear and followed the footsteps of Hazu Yukihide with the ashigaru of Hanamaki Castle.
When Yukihide Hazu and Yoshino Ryoshi joined the battlefield, the Date family's offensive was blocked. But even so, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru also suffered a lot of casualties. In particular, the four or five squadrons that were at the forefront before were basically scattered, cut into many squads, and drowned in the army of the Date family.
Quite a relief!
I actually came and went freely in the famous Tsugawa family army formation, charged into battle, and gained the upper hand, which was simply too enjoyable! Almost all the people of the Date family thought this way in their hearts, and for a while they were also impressed by Date Minoru's orders.
Jiang is really still old and spicy.
Date Minoru was also flushed, and in excitement, he actually walked out of the sedan chair, and then took the saber from the hand of a small surname and joined the queue of charge! Date Minoru is wearing a gorgeous hunting robe embroidered with blooming peonies, a cage hand on his left arm, and a black hat on his head, full of appearance!
The sword in the hand of Date Minoru kept flipping and waving in the crowd, drooping and old, but it did not diminish the demeanor of the Lord of Mutsu Cave in the slightest!
The Date family has high morale and high morale. And although the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family still insists on fighting, they also fight and retreat, and they are generally at a disadvantage.
Yukihide and the team rushed into the formation, picking the samurai of the Date family to kill, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Yukihide Hazu had already won four or five samurai of the Date family one after another.
However, the number of samurai in the Date family is indeed a bit large, although it is only composed of seven or eight hundred peasant soldiers, but the number of samurai is at least nearly a hundred. Most of them are the flanks and banners of Date Minoru, and their combat effectiveness is very high.
The Tsugawa family's Ashigaru didn't have much strength left, and he was barely able to fight back with the cooperation of his companions beside him, but he was just making useless sacrifices. There are more and more fallen Tsugawa family ashigaru, and there is no sword in the hands of the front row samurai of the Date family that is not stained red with blood, but the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family still insists on fighting.
Ashigaru head fell and the lead samurai made up for it, and the lead samurai fell and went on it himself!
The people of the Date family are getting more and more frightened, obviously a group of "ineffective" Ashigaru, how can they still block their own attacks for so long?
The battle was at a stalemate.
Yoshino Yoshino and Yukahide Hazu fought back to back, panting, watching Ashigaru who could still call his name next to him fall one by one, and Yukahide Hazu and Yoshino Yoshino's eyes were red.
Even so, the Date family was not having a good time, the samurai were killed and wounded at least twenty or thirty, and the ordinary peasant soldiers were like soy sauce. It's entirely because the battle situation is in an advantageous position that they follow the Date family samurai to pick up the cheap, but in terms of momentum, it is indeed the Date family that wins.
......
Kasai Harukin and Osaki Yoshinao are very depressed, how did the people of the MMP Tsukawa family run so fast?
I haven't seen anyone from the Tsugawa family since I fell behind, and I can't see the end of the river when I walk along the river, and the ghost knows how far it will be before I catch up with the people of the Tsugawa family.
At this time, Kasai Haruyin asked a few farmers to go nearby and ask if there was a shortcut to reach the middle reaches of the Natori River faster. As a result, two of the peasants swore that there was a shortcut, and for this reason, Kasai Qingyin also gave a handful of copper coins for them to lead the way.
Two peasants took Kasai Haruin and Osaki Yoshinao and others through the dense forest, until the Natori River disappeared from sight, and the two peasants also disappeared......
Seeing this, Yoshinao Osaki and Haruyin Kasai suddenly understood that they had been trapped.
There is no way, Osaki Yoshinao and Kasai Haruyin can only scout and explore the way. Now the two of them don't dare to take any shortcuts, so let's honestly go up the Natori River. After confirming the direction of the Natori River, the two hurriedly began to rush in the direction of the Natori River.
After walking for another half an hour, the disappeared Natori River finally appeared in the sight of the two.
However, after breaking out of the dense forest, Kasai Haruhin and Osaki Yoshinao were attracted by the battle on the Natori Riverside. And when it was clear who the two sides of the battle were, the two of them shivered at the same time.
The flag seal of Date Minoru is very clear to Yoshinao Osaki and Haruhin Kasai, who have been bullied by the Date family, and aren't the other who are being pressed and beaten by the Date family Yukihide and Yoshino Yoshino, who are chasing after him and others?
"Hazu-sama and Yoshino-sama seem to have been attacked by the Sakyo Doctor's Palace, and the situation is not optimistic!" Osaki Yoshinao said nervously to Kasai Qingyin beside him.
Kasai Qingyin thought quietly, "The Tsugawa family's strength was suppressed by the Date family, this is a good opportunity to perform in front of the Tsugawa family!" If he can save Yoshino Ryoshi and Yukihide Hazu, then the right guard general's hall should also be impressed with the family, right? ”
"If you can get Date Minoru again........" Kasai Haruyin didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Thinking of this, Kasai Qingyin immediately waved his hand, "Everyone immediately supports the Tsugawa family's troops in front, the enemy is Date Minoru, charging in the direction of Qiyin!" ”
With Kasai Harukin's order, the forces of the Kasai family and the Osaki family rushed out in an instant. When the soldiers of the two families got lost, they took advantage of the time of reconnaissance and exploration to rest in the forest for most of the day, and their physical strength recovered.
Otherwise, according to the urine nature of the peasants and soldiers, the fool would be willing to rush out.
......
Due to the distance and the fact that the view was blocked by the Ashigaru of the Date family, Yoshino Yoshino and Yukihide Hazu did not see the forces of the Osaki family and the Kasai family rushing out of the dense forest.
However, the two of them saw two huge warships suddenly appear on the Natori Kawakami, and the bellflower patterns fluttering on them made Yukihide Hazu and Yoshino Ryoshi unable to hold back tears.
What is a loved one? This is loved one!
Yoshino used all his strength to run to the shore of the Natori River, and no one knew better than Yoshino what these two warships meant. When he saw clearly who the samurai who was standing on the deck and looking at him, Yoshino Ryoshinari directly let himself go.
"Lord Motoyama! What about your N Portuguese cannon? Fire the gun!!! ”
