Chapter 333: The Battle of Akita

The Anto family took the lead, with Matsuhashi Hidemori's team playing, while the Tsugawa family was met by Junmitsu Shigeto and Masabo Nagano. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Due to the battle of Minatojo, most of the Tsukawa family's troops were more or less tired, so the task of facing it fell to the Nagano Masabo team and the Shigedo Junko team. Although the two of them served as the front army of the attack on Minato, in fact, the troops under the command of the two did not participate in the battle at all.

"Kill!" The forces of the Tsugawa family and the Andong family collided violently.

As for the Tsukawa family, the Nagano Masabo team has 150 people, while the Shigedo Junko team has only 50 people. The combined strength of the two is only 200 people, and on the other hand, the Matsuhashi Hidemori team has 500 people.

In terms of numbers, Matsuhashi Hidemori's team has an absolute advantage, and Nagano Masabo and Shigedo Junmitsu team resist the attack of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team on left and right.

"The archer takes ten steps back and throws!" The Nagano Masabo team said loudly to the archers of the three squads beside them.

Junmitsu Shigedo on the side also said loudly, "The archers of the fifth squad take 10 steps back and shoot!" ”

Nagano Castle and Odaka Castle, which were the first to be established by the Tsugawa family, were small in number, but they were all standing ashigaru, and their combat effectiveness was far stronger than that of Matsuhashi Hidemori's army.

Nagano Masabo and Junmitsu Shigeto gathered four squads of archers under their command and fired fiercely at Matsuhashi Hidemori's team in front. For a time, the arrows that kept flying took the lives of several peasant soldiers of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team.

Matsuhashi Hidemori stood in the center of the team, looked at the Tsugawa family in front of him, and said loudly, "All pressed up, there are fewer people from the Tsugawa family than us, everyone rushes over!" ”

"Kill!" Relying on the fact that there are more people on his side, the peasant soldiers of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team still have a high fighting spirit.

The ashigaru in the front row raised the three guns in his hand and kept slapping the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family, but compared to the neat attack of the Tsugawa family, the peasants of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team looked a little messy.

The first squadron under the command of Nagano Masabo stood at the front of the line, and the head of the first squadron was Nagano Masakai's cousin, Nagano Masaka. Nagano Masabo's father was Nagano Masahei's younger brother, Nagano Masake, but Nagano Masashi was killed in a battle with the Ryohei family during the Nagano Masahei era, so Nagano Masakai was always raised by Nagano Masahei.

Nagano Masaki, who is just 20 years old this year, inherited the bravery of his father Nagano Masake, and his art of war is outstanding, and he is the most capable samurai under Nagano Masabo.

"Drink!" Nagano Masaki let out a loud shout, raised the three guns in his hand and shot them at one of the peasant soldiers of the Anton family. The peasant soldier couldn't dodge, was shot in the head, and was about to cry out in pain, when Nagano Masaki stabbed the peasant soldier to the ground.

Since it was a long-distance engagement, the Miken gun was the best weapon. Ashigaru's combat method is quite simple, and it can only play the left and right of maintaining the front. The two teams fight against the ashigaru and there are more people on which side of the fight, and the second is that the ashigaru on which side is even more fatal.

Although the number of Sato Yoshiyuki's team is indeed larger, it is obvious that the Tsugawa family's ashigaru combat power is stronger, so although the two sides are fighting fiercely for a while, they are evenly fought.

"The third squadron listened to the order, moved to the right and attacked the enemy's flank!" At this time, Nagano Masabo suddenly said to the third squadron that was a reserve next to him!

"Hah!" Suddenly, the third squadron of the Nagano Masabo team, Ashigaru, began to move towards the left side of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team.

After seeing the movement of the Nagano Masabo team, Hidemori Matsuhashi on the opposite side sneered, "Hmph! The troops are weak, and they can't shrink their defenses well, and they even want to surround us. The enemy general is a fool! ”

"Kogoro, you lead a team of people to intercept the enemy's team of Ashigaru!" Matsuhashi Hidemori said to Kogoro Oishi, the head of the light head next to him.

"Hah!" Kogoro Oishi immediately commanded a team of ashigaru beside him and began to rush towards the third squadron under the command of Nagano Masabo.

"Kenzaburo, you lead a team of people to launch a fierce attack on the enemy Shigedo Junko team. The Shigedo Junko team has a small number of people, so let's start here and make sure to defeat the enemy army quickly! Matsuhashi Hidemori then said to Kenzaburo Yamamoto, another ashigaru head beside him!

"Hah!"

Kenzaburo Yamamoto led a group of people and began to move towards the left side of Junko Shigedo, with a posture of surrounding Junko Shigedo.

This is bitter Shigedo Junguang, the number of people is small, and he is targeted by the other party. In desperation, Junko Shigedo had no choice but to order the ashigaru to form a circle and begin to maintain the line.

On the other hand, however, the situation of the Nagano Masabo team is different.

Under the fierce attack of the 1st and 2nd squadrons of the Nagano Masabo team, Matsuhashi Hidemori's team, which was facing the Tsugawa family's offensive head-on, suffered heavy casualties. In less than a quarter of an hour, seven or eight peasants were captured, and more than a dozen ashigaru were wounded and withdrew from the battlefield.

In the face of the rapid offensive of the Nagano Masabo team, many of the peasant soldiers of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team had long lost their composure before the battle, and their faces were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and even the three guns in their hands were almost unstable.

This is the difference between a peasant soldier and a standing ashigaru! The peasant soldiers could only scrape together their numbers and fight a good fight. When the war is anxious or not going well, the first consideration of the peasant soldiers is to save their lives. Therefore, many ashigaru members of Matsuhashi Hidemori's team began to retreat for a while.

"It's all up to me!" Matsuhashi Hidemori, who was in the middle of the team, keenly noticed this phenomenon, and immediately said loudly, "Those who retreat die!" With that, Matsuhashi Hidemori slashed a peasant soldier to the ground with a single sword.

Under the example of killing chickens and monkeys, the peasants and soldiers once again mustered up the courage to slowly advance forward. Just when Matsuhashi Hidemori breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly Matsuhashi Hidemori felt a trace of danger!

The experience accumulated over the years made Matsuhashi Hidemori instinctively turn his body sideways.

"Ahh Matsuhashi Hidemori couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and looked down to see that the feather arrow had been inserted in the gap in his abdomen.

"Bad luck!" Matsuhashi Hidemori pulled out the arrow, angrily pointed at the Tsugawa family in front of him and said, "Rush over for me!" All of them! ”

"Kill!" Enraged, Matsuhashi Hidemori loudly commanded the ashigaru around him to rush towards the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family, and for a while the battle once again ushered in the most intense time.

Nagano Masabo put down a Maruki bow in his hand with a regretful face, and the arrow that had just hit Matsuhashi Hidemori was shot by Nagano Masafu. However, although the head was accurate, the power of the Maruki bow and the distance were a little too far, and it did not cause any damage to Matsuhashi Hidemori.

"My lord, Shigedo-sama's side is about to be overwhelmed!" At this time, a flag book next to Nagano Masabo said loudly next to Nagano Masafu.

Nagano Masabo hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the Shigedo Junguang team, only to see that the Shigeto Junguang team was constantly shrinking and shaping under the attack of at least 200 peasants and soldiers. The circle array is constantly being squeezed, although it can still be supported now, but I am afraid it will not last long.

This can't be blamed on the Shigedo Junko team, after all, there are only 50 people, and although the combat strength is strong, the number is still too small.
