At this time, at the forefront of Wuhai, the vanguard of the Date Army had already begun to encounter the coalition forces.

The people at the front were Kakizaki Haruha, and on Date's side were Harada Daizo and Hino Gunbe.

The passionate and heroic sound of the conch pierced through the sky, the two armies waved their flags, covering the sky and the sun with the crowd surging, quickly found a position in the battle array, regardless of the enemy or me, a column of soldiers under the command of the generals of their respective reserves, holding spears nearly two zhang long, and arching out in a neat and well-organized formation, forming a solid wall.

The cold cold of the weapons, coupled with the dark armor, and the murderous aura, quickly spread in the military formations of the two armies.

The slaughter of the battle array makes people feel that even their breathing is suppressed.

For a long time, on the plains of Wuhai, a strong wind blew.

Kakizaki Haruya slowly rode out of the battle formation, looking at the dense Ida enemies in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain and confidence. This kind of expression would never have been put aside until two or three months ago, but since the victory of Shinmasaki's battle, he felt as if overnight, his self-confidence and martial arts luck had returned, and perhaps, in this battle, it is not impossible to restore the status of the Kakizaki family.

Look at the tiger and wolf men behind him, his eyes are full of fighting intent, or the murderous spirit is better, that's right, firm belief, with this elite division, who can compete!

However, he soon remembered what had happened in the morning.

At the beginning of the morning, the wise Kogoro, who was a military advisor, approached him and asked him if he could not fight the enemy first, but instead adopt a deceitful strategy to lure the enemy into the coalition formation, and then encircle and annihilate him.

This is not an order, this is a suggestion, I would have liked to give Mr. Wise a face. After all, people can put down their bodies like this to find themselves to plan, and the content and results of the plan are not at a loss, and in return, they have to repay a favor.

However, there is still some hesitation. After all, it is certainly a good thing to be able to cost the lives of some of his brothers, but ...... When he was on the battlefield, he was inspired by a heroic spirit like a cloud of ambition, and Kakizaki Harukie put aside the advice of the wise Kogoro and could defeat the enemy head-on to maximize the morale of the coalition army. What's more, why bother so much, go head-to-head, and win yourself!

However, it was only an hour later that his self-confidence ran into trouble.

[Soldiers! Advance! If you want to become a samurai. Enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime, and there is an opportunity in front of you!! 】

With the order of Kakizaki Haruya, the inspiring effect was very significant, and the two thousand officers and soldiers under his command followed the impetus of the general, and even the heart gradually beat rapidly with the sound, and the blood began to uncontrollably begin to expand, and the fighting hope in the body was beating and filled his mind, there was no doubt. There were very few of these people who were actually samurai or [feudal warriors] with territories and other regular incomes, and most of them were poor wandering ronin samurai or owned some land in the countryside. But for the low-income [countryman], being able to become a samurai is an opportunity to change your fate, so you must take advantage of it.

(As for the "villagers", they are actually the "militia", and they are a cross between samurai and peasants, and they are quite respected in the eyes of the peasants.) But in the eyes of the serious samurai lord, he is still a person who can't get on the stage, half a village and half a soldier, owns land and property, and pays taxes to the lord. When necessary, accept the lord's arrangement to fight, but it is not necessary to serve the public at any time like a normal samurai, and it is not considered a formal retainer.

However, under normal circumstances, in the event of war, instead of believing in ronin samurai of unknown origin, the lords are of course more willing to believe in the villagers under their hands who have been [paying] for themselves, and the townsmen because of their close relationship with the samurai, improve their status, and the probability of joining the samurai class is very high, which is stronger than the average ronin samurai.

One more thing: In Mr. Yoshikawa Eiji's masterpiece "Miyamoto Musashi", as a friend of Miyamoto Musashi, Tamathachi is a countryman, of course, this guy is really unlucky, not only did he not become a samurai, but made a series of jokes. ）

As long as Kakizaki Haru's family gives an order, everyone will show their bloodthirsty minions in an instant.

Soon, the two sides began to officially fight each other.

Kakizaki Haruka rode a war horse, holding the famous sword [Dayu] in his hand, and slashed while galloping in the military formation, and behind him, more than two dozen flags followed closely.

Kakizaki Haruka's martial arts are very good, although he can't catch up with his father, the god general Kakizaki Jingjia who is known as [Echigo Seven Counties Unbeatable], but it doesn't mean that he is a useless person.

He shuttled through the crowd, and he didn't pay attention to some [miscellaneous soldiers] at all, and when he encountered the enemy's general, he would immediately use his bright sword and cleanly harvest the opponent's life.

Kakizaki Haruya wears a black helmet, black leather armor, straddles a pitch-black horse, and holds a famous sword [Daitaka] with a length of three feet, and the sword shines in the sunlight.

This is no ordinary knife, it was first bought by the famous diplomatic monk of the Takeda family from a merchant forty years ago (huh?). Where did this monk get so much money? And then first to the lord at the time, Takeda Shinto, Takeda Shinhu is warlike by nature, and naturally he can't put down the famous sword, but unfortunately, this old man has not had time to give the famous sword [open light], that is, to use it, he was driven away by his own son, that is, the more amazing famous general Takeda Shingen (Harunobu).

Gao Baizhai actually has a better relationship with Takeda Shingen, he can be regarded as the third master of Takeda Shingen after Itagaki Shinfang and Ganli Hutai, after Takeda Shinhu ran away, Dayu naturally fell into the hands of Takeda Shingen, Takeda Shingen couldn't put it down, but in the end, in order to reward his younger brother Takeda Shinshihiro, he gave this knife out of pain.

Takeda Shinfan, known as half of the Takeda family, has never been absent in his life, and has always participated in military and political affairs as a behind-the-scenes staff officer around Takeda Shinhu and Shingen's father and son, in addition to having a high level of military literacy, he has a good level of education.

It's a pity that this gentleman was killed by the Kakizaki Keijia during the battle of Kawanakajima, and after the big jade was captured by the Kakizaki Keijia, he was dedicated to Uesugi Kenshin by the latter.

Uesugi Kenshin liked Otama very much, but in his later years, in order to reflect on his fault for indirectly killing the Kakizaki Kei family because of suspicion, he returned Otama to the Kakizaki family, and now, this knife is in the hands of the Kakizaki Haru.

The battle dragged on for a long time, and the soldiers on both sides suffered casualties, and at this time, not only Kakizaki Haruya, but also other generals of the two armies began to fight against the various reserves of the Date army.

At this time, the Kakizaki Harujia, who was killing the head of Xing, moved his muscles and bones a little because of the long-term activity, and roared:

【Cavalry! Assault! 】

As he spoke, he rode forward first, followed by the army. Of the 2,000 people in the Kakizaki army, 800 were cavalry, and the Kakizaki father and son were both famous generals who made good use of cavalry in history.

[Look, everyone! It's Kakizaki of the Uesugi Army! 】

[O gods and Buddhas! It's so ferocious! This is not something we can beat! 】

[I can't care so much! Let's retreat first! Otherwise we'll all die here! 】……

The soldiers of the Date family could not help but shudder when they saw the Kakizaki army rushing in like a tide, and in the face of the huge pressure of the enemy, they all let out a wail, and their feet began to retreat.

The situation of the battle seems to have been opened up by the Kakizaki Haruya, and the first to bear the brunt is the famous general Hino Gunbu, who once fought in the rebellion of Nakano Mune, and was trusted by Date Terumune.

In fact, there are more than 500 knights in the hands of the Hino Army, and there is no need to be too afraid of the enemy's charge, but because of the preemptive strike of the Kakizaki Haruya, the Hino Army Department is very passive.

[Don't panic! We also have cavalry! You can stop the enemy! 】

[Whoever retreats further will be beheaded...... Where's the Warlord?! If you find someone retreating, behead them immediately! 】

Just when the Hino military department was hoarse and trying to stabilize the morale of the army, his lieutenant general and also his son, more than 100 cavalry led by Hino Tojiro rushed to the front of the battle.

He stood in front of the moon with a headband, wearing a yellow feather weave, which was put on the outside of the armor (until this book was written, the author has not bothered to distinguish what is called "big armor", what is called "pocket", and what is called "carcass", and it is enough to use "armor" to describe it), riding a yellow hussay, shouting:

[Don't hold back! Reinforcements from the military department will arrive soon! It would be a shame for the Oshu samurai to retreat! 】

His shouting had a certain effect, and just when the military morale of the Hino Military Department was a little settled, the Kakizaki Haruya had already led the army to kill it.

He is holding a sword, cutting people whenever he meets, invincible, and looks like a god descending to earth.

Hinano Tojiro's eyes were on fire when he saw it.

[I'm Hino Higashijiro of the Date family, what are you! ] 】

[Haha, your grandfather and I are the Kakizaki and Izumi Shouharu family of the Uesugi family, since your surname is Hino, then the Hino Military Department must be your father? Get out! Call your father over, your grandfather and I'm going to slaughter him with my own hands, you are a nameless junior, I can't be interested in your grandfather! 】

In fact, Hino Tojiro is also in his twenties today, and he has become famous in some battles before, but the Kakizaki family deliberately ignores his existence, which makes him angry, and what is even more excessive is that the latter scolds himself and the Hino soldiers both by [your grandfather and me].

[Bastard! I'll kill you! 】

Hino Higashijiro had a hot head, and he didn't care whether he was the opponent of the Kakizaki Haru's family, so he killed the latter.

The Date army, which had finally stabilized a little, was in chaos again, and the soldiers fled in all directions. By the time the army of the Hino Army came to help, more than 100 cavalry led by Higashijiro had been killed or wounded under the enemy's blows. (To be continued......)
