450 Car Suspension Formation (2)
The herald looked as if he was going to die at any moment, but when he was helped up to everyone, he still cheered up, took a deep breath, calmed the turbulent mood in his heart, and said in a trembling voice:
"[General, the enemy has been dispatched! Enemies, enemies are coming, a lot of enemies, a lot of ......]
The enemy is coming? It's not new at all, haven't you been fighting the enemy all the time from yesterday to today?
Uesugi Jinghu sighed and ordered Qiben to bring a bowl of water over and let the herald drink it first.
After the latter drank the water, his complexion improved a little and said:
[Thank you, General, I was originally monitoring the enemy's movements on the back of Wuhai with my companions, but at the time of Yin, the enemy of Wuhai suddenly moved, and we saw a group of men and horses start to rush out of the camp and advance towards us. γ
[Really? Could it be that Date Masamune is going to launch a general attack?! γ
[It's true, General, we were discovered by them, except for me, all the brothers are dead, and I desperately escaped back......]
[Brother, tell us quickly, have all the enemies been dispatched? γ
[Yes, some of us have noticed that the horse seal of Date Masamune's golden cross has also begun to move!] γ
(It should be noted here that Date Masamune's horse seal was not a golden cross in the early years, but a string of Buddhist beads given to him by Zen Master Toraya, and the cross was used after he converted to foreign religion in middle age)
γNani ......γ
Wise Kogoro muttered to himself, obviously not a little mentally prepared for this information, so that for a while. There is no countermeasure.
In addition to him, including Uesugi Keiho. All the generals were stunned, no matter who it was. None of them expected this to happen, and there was silence in the formation for a while.
[So...... Okay, Echigo-samarum, please send this brother first, oh no, this warrior goes down to rest, he seems to be injured a lot. γ
[Well, just do what you say, sir.] γ
[Thank you, General, thank you, ...... Advisor]
Thank you. The herald tilted his head and was silent.
Wise Kogoro looked at the herald of [fainting] past, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Naoe stepped forward, probed his snort with his hand, and shook his head.
Uesugi Jinghu ordered Qiben to take this herald down for burial, and then said with a solemn face:
[Date Masamune's men and horses were originally more than us, and now that both sides have fallen into a tired predicament, his extra men and horses are the key to changing the tide of the war...... It seems that this fight. It's more than lucky. γ
[Lord, don't be so easily discouraged, since Date Masamune has taken out the bottom of the pressure box, this means that he may have reached the end of the mountain. Lord, we must hold on. γ
[Yes, my lord. The more this time comes, the more you have to hold on! γ
[We're going to win!] γ
[Please let me lead the ......]
Wise Kogoro listened to everyone's words, and then looked at the expression of Uesugi Keitora who was sitting on the main seat. His heart was somewhat touched -- in fact, he really wanted to tell the news that Shibata Katsuya would come to help. This will greatly boost everyone's morale, but in this way, I will also fall into an embarrassing situation, because even I don't know when Shibata Katsuya will come.
Anyway, instead of relying on others, I might as well think about my own current countermeasures.
Wise Kogoro clenched his hands into fists, waved them in the air, and then made up his mind and prepared to fight.
The camp became busy, and Uesugi Keitora immediately conveyed the order, telling the soldiers to all take their weapons and prepare for battle. A cadre of generals looked serious, and even the flag book behind them also looked serious, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands, and all the officers and soldiers in this formation were waiting for the battle, as if the last moment had come.
[Echigo-samamoru, please let me be the vanguard and go to meet Date Masamune...... My troops are not in battle today, so they can't just eat white rice like this! γ
[Eh! Mr. Wise, if I don't take you like this, I am the vanguard of the army, how can this order be messed up? γ
The person who spoke was Kakizaki Haruka, who was quite active yesterday, killing the enemy generals Hino Gunbu and Harada Daizo successively. Attacking the enemy's third formation in one breath, he was unable to go any further, coupled with the fierce resistance of the enemy's main force, he finally had to retreat.
[Lord Izumi Mamoru, that's right, I shouldn't have snatched the position of vanguard with you, but at the moment, my troops have not yet entered the battle, and they are full of energy, I'm afraid it ......]
[Hehe, sir, we Echigo samurai are not so easy to get tired and lie down!] γ
Uesugi Jinghu saw the argument between the two and hurriedly came out to play a round:
[Okay, I feel the determination of both of you, but for now, let's put this issue aside, we have more important things to do. γ
[What's that?] γ
Wise Kogoro naturally didn't know what Uesugi Keitora was talking about, but Kakizaki Haruhi nodded thoughtfully and asked in a somewhat expectant tone:
[Is it finally about to start?] Lord?! γ
[Yes!] β¦β¦ We've endured Date Masamune for so long, and now it's time to show that kid the power of our Echigo samurai! γ
Uesugi Keitora's tone was impassioned, and Akechi Kogoro noticed that at some point, the atmosphere in the town began to become eager.
Could it be that Uesugi Keihoo has already had a countermeasure?
Wise Kogoro looked back and saw the two tiger generals sitting next to him, Kawada Nagaqin and Se Changshi, eager to try, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, these two old men have also fought for so long, why are they still so energetic?
Of course, he won't ask, but he slowly pondered in his heart, is there any hole card that Uesugi Jinghu can't make?
Uesugi Keitora noticed the expression of Akechi Kogoro, laughed, and said:
[Mr. Wise, in fact, it's not a great thing, in the final analysis, it's still the set of formations handed down by my father Qian Xingong back then...... Car ~ hanging ~ array! γ
[Car overhang? γ
Wise Kogoro's pupils began to constrict, and his heart began to roll.
It is said that the reason why Takeda Shingen has been repeatedly defeated by Uesugi Kenshin is because of the existence of this set of formations - the army will form a spiral and engage in wheel battles with the enemy, the outside is the cavalry with better mobility, the middle is the pikemen, and then the inside is the flag and archers, and the iron gunners.
This set of formations can be said to be a huge and mobile [meat grinder], the wheel attack of the external cavalry will cause great damage to the enemy, and it is not easy to enter the middle, and it will be stabbed to pieces by the impenetrable pikemen, not to mention the archers and iron gunners who are still behind.
First, the infantry moves too slowly, and the cavalry, as the main combat force, is often dragged down and cannot exert its full strength, and if it cannot get close to the enemy, in order to protect the infantry, the cavalry cannot advance, so it is easy to become a live target for long-range weapons. Second, the drill of the car suspension array is very complicated, and the requirements for the cooperation of each position are relatively strict, unlike the general formation, the people in each position, as long as they do their own work, the car suspension array needs everyone to help each other and cooperate with each other, which is destined to be very difficult for its drill, if there is no certain level, this is not playable.
The above is what Wise Kogoro knows about the car suspension array, but in fact, he has never seen what the car suspension array looks like.
[Yes, sir, you don't have to worry, there will be a time when you can use Mr. later.] γ
Uesugi Keihu said confidently:
[Listen to orders!] The first battle is Haru's house of Kakisaki! γ
[Hi Yi! γ
[The second formation is Kawada's long family! ] γ
[Hi Yi! γ
[The third formation is the color of the minister! ] γ
[Hi Yi! γβ¦β¦
Including the above-mentioned people, a total of more than a dozen generals received orders, and they were responsible for leading the troops to charge around the circle outside, acting as [car tires].
[When you encounter the enemy general later, don't scatter each other, if the two people are close, try to strive for the two people to charge together, take care of each other, kill the general of the enemy's leader first. γ
[Lord, look at it, this time we will definitely cut off Date Masamune's head!] γ
[Well, I'm waiting for good news from Kawada-sama! γ
Kawada Changqin's expression was still cold and arrogant, and he didn't show his authority, but there was still a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
The minister of color beside him smiled, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
As for Akechi Kogoro, he still didn't get any orders to go out, so he sighed and stayed in his main camp.
After breakfast, the two sides fought again.
[Boom! β¦β¦γ
The wind roared, and the roar came from far and near.
[Echigo Mamoru Lord, there are enough cavalry in this Oshu, but I'm afraid that even Takeda Akabi back then didn't have so many people. γ
In the distance, Akechi Kogoro and Uesugi Keitora chatted while watching the fight.
[Yes, with the current economic situation of the Date family, it is very reluctant to form so many cavalry, I wonder, I'm afraid Date Masamune has already pressed him and the coffins of their ancestors, haha. γ
[This is already a desperate army...... Date Masamune is gambling this is a gamble, if he wins the battle, he can say anything, but if he can't win, then everything will be over, don't say that we will trouble him, I'm afraid the people of Oshu will spare him! γ
[Haha, I sincerely wait for that day to come! (To be continued......)
