455 Die without regrets

That Xinfa Tian Chongjia slapped his horse and rushed to the phalanx of the Uesugi army. Looking at the spear that exudes a chill, and the shield like an iron wall, and the Kawada Nagajin who wants to gallop by himself.

There was a fierce look on his face.

Shigeie Shinbata grinned, he knew what Kawada Nagakini meant, his defeat was already a foregone conclusion, whether it was Uesugi Keitora or Date Masamune, they would not let him go.

However, in my life, I was born on the battlefield and died on the battlefield, almost all of them fought for the sake of fighting, and almost never stopped.

If you keep yourself away from the battlefield and commit suicide in the form of punishment after defeat, this is probably something that the Xinfa Tian Shigejia himself is unwilling to bear.

Kawada Nagako! Do you want me to die on the battlefield like a samurai? Good! I admit your affection!

It's just that in this life, I can't pay it back!

Xinfa Tian Shigejia was already ready to die, and his mood should not have been so lively, but when he thought of the current situation, he could die on the battlefield like a samurai, and he suddenly felt very happy.

The character of the person is so strange, it is obvious that he is walking towards the Huangquan Road, but he is so calm. The idea of Xinfatian's heavy family, our juniors, probably will never be able to understand it.

[Hahaha...... Kawada Nagako! Come on! 】

Unlike the wild laughter of the Shibata Shigeya, from beginning to end, the Kawada Changqin, who occupied the dominant side, was silent, he hunched his waist and held a sword in his hand, rushing towards the Shibata Shigeya.

【Come!】 Let me see the art of war of your northern people! Kill! 】

Kawada Naga let out a low shout, and his crotch dismounted like an arrow from the string. Lightning-fast.

Shigeya Shinbata saw Kawada Nagakin's head coming like a wild boar running out of the forest, and he went on a rampage. My heart is even happier. Shigeya Shinbata rode on a horse, just a long knife across his chest. Blocking the way of Taidao, he has no longer made a fighting posture, and even if he dies, he will deal with it with the most serious face and fight with Kawada Nagakin.

Think about it, in his life, he has fought countless generals, most of them have been killed by himself, and a few of them are stronger than himself. But the last one was repaired by itself.

But the Shinbata Shigeya did not fight Kawada Nagakin, who originally did civilian work, and only later gave up literature and martial arts and began a battlefield career, so he didn't know how Kawada Nagakin's martial arts were?

But now is a great opportunity, I have long wanted to see how many catties this man who once served as the chief executive of the Uesugi family back then.

【Bell!】 】

The sound of metal grinding, the collision of knives and knives. Burst out of a spark. Immediately, the blade of Taidao jumped and crossed the long knife of the Shibata Shigeya. Seeing this, Xinfa Tian's heavy family secretly said that it was not good in his heart. His head shook, trying to dodge Kawada Nagakin's sword, but the tip of the knife was sharp and fast. A pop pierced Shigeya's throat, and Shibata Shigeie's mouth opened wide. I want to speak, but I feel like my throat is blowing through my throat. Speechless.

Break the enemy with one move!

[Ah......h

With a roar and a muffled voice, Shigeya Shinbata only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fell off his horse.

Shigejia Xinfa was full of surprise in his heart, he had also expected how strong Kawada Nagakin's art of war was, but he didn't expect that the latter would be so strong that he couldn't even walk a round, so he was defeated!

What a power! The Shigejia of Shinbata has only seen one person with such courage, and that is the Kakizaki Jingjia, who was known as [Echigo Seven Counties Unbeatable] back then, but Kakizaki Jingjia has five big and three thick, and his courage is written on his face. And the elder Kawada in front of him is gentle-looking and polite, but he didn't expect to be a master who is not revealed.

Good! Good! Good! Lao Tzu is not unjust if he is defeated in your hands, if a nobody takes Lao Tzu's life, it is an extremely embarrassing ugly thing, hahahaha...... Before he died, he could still enjoy the joy of fighting, and Lao Tzu had no regrets......

Seeing the death of Shigeya Shinbata, Kawada Nagakin, as the murderer, had very mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he finally sent this man who betrayed the Echigo samurai to hell, which was a good breath of anger for his colleagues who died in this war, and all the troubles were caused by this person, and now that he is finally dead, everything is over.

But on the other hand, there is also an inexplicable sadness in his heart, Shigeya Shinbata is also a colleague with him, and he also discussed the military situation in the main castle of Kasuga Mountain Castle and the main camp of the expeditionary force of Uesugi Kenshin. At that time, his colleague became the enemy now, and he still had his own to kill him, in addition to lamenting the impermanence of the world, Kawada Naga was in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad for the national fortune of the Uesugi family.

[Poof! 】

Before the Xinfa Tian army saw that the main general had been killed, they either put down their weapons and fled, or squatted on the ground and hugged their heads and begged for mercy, basically no longer formed any combat power.

Therefore, no one thought at all to snatch back the head of their own master.

Kawada Changqin disarmed all the soldiers who surrendered, and then picked up the head of the Shibata Shigeya, and muttered to himself:

[You betrayed the Echigo samurai, it can be said that you are innocent of death, but considering that you were also one of us after all, I give you the last dignity...... Hang his head on the flagpole first, and when the battle is over, find a nearby temple and bury him with the etiquette of an ordinary samurai! 】

[Hi Yi! 】

Qiben nodded and took his head......

As time passed, the power of the Wagon Suspension Array was further expanded, and the various reserves of the Date Army were divided and wiped out one by one rather than unable to take care of the support.

Obviously, the one who has the advantage in numbers has now become the inferior side.

However, the unfavorable situation on the battlefield did not break the will of the Date samurai, but made them even more insane.

This is probably the reason why they were able to fight all the way out of the wilderness of Oshu.

Wars between men, sometimes that's it. Knowing that you can't do it, it's not stupid, it's forced to be helpless.

(To be honest, when I wrote this, the author was finally able to understand that during the Battle of Sekigahara, Otani Yoshitsugu's mood knew that it was a dead end, and he had to rush forward, not to be stupid, but to have to do so)

At this point, all the Date samurai slowly learned the outcome of the war.

Fierce fighting lasted from morning to evening.

Now, even those who died in battle and fled, there were less than 20,000 horses left, and they were all exhausted. And the Uesugi army, which still maintains its high combat morale, and the [wheel tactics] used by the car suspension formation, give the Uesugi army an advantage.

Although these people are not afraid of death, their end is tragic.

No matter what kind of enemy it faces, the car hangs like a tireless machine. Blocked the Date samurai, wave after wave of charge.

The corpses, the phalanx that hung the car, were already surrounded. The ground beneath their feet was also red with blood.

Now, out of the original 30,000 Ida's cavalry, less than 20,000 remain. However, there were less than 2,000 casualties among the soldiers in the Uesugi car.

To be honest, such a disparity in the proportion of casualties, not to mention the young Date Masamune, I am afraid that many Date veterans who have fought all their lives have never experienced this.

O gods and Buddhas! What kind of formation is this, why is it so powerful!

No way! We are samurai! Don't go back!

But no matter how strong the belief is, it can't resist the breeding of fear. The remaining Date samurai finally began to crumble.

If it's the Uesugi army, it's not so tenacious; If the Date were able to kill some of the enemies in front of them, they would all fight to the death.

However, the result was brutal......

Looking at the defeated Date soldiers in the distance, Uesugi Keitor, who was watching the battle in the rear, and his face had been unwavering, finally showed a smile.

He raised the sword in his hand and shouted:

[The whole army prepares, pursues lightly, and kills! ] Today we must slay the enemy completely! 】

[Kill! 】

Behind him, the 1,500 elite soldiers who remained in the formation raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

[Hahahaha! Sir, you don't have anything to say first, do you? The car suspension array is almost without weaknesses! 】

Uesugi Keitora looked at the wise Kogoro with a complicated expression, and then at the fierce and incomparable soldiers, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He looked around at the generals beside him and said:

[The car suspension array is the strongest formation in the world, even Takeda Shingen can't crack it back then, what else does the little Date Masamune have in mind? ] 】

Wise Kogoro has long been suspended by the performance of the car, shocked and speechless. Hearing Uesugi Jinghu's words again, he naturally nodded and pretended to be convinced, but in his heart, he didn't think so.

Any formation, if there are advantages, there must be disadvantages, and there must be shortcomings in the car suspension formation, otherwise why didn't Uesugi Kenshin use it during the Battle of Tetori River?

However, I can't tell you exactly what this shortcoming is.

Before, I thought that the car hanging array would be in danger of being fired by the Ita family's iron cannon salvo, but now it seems that Date Masamune seems to be ...... It seems that even he himself has not thought that he can use the iron run to impact the car suspension.

Could it be that he overestimated Date Masamune, who was actually not as powerful as he thought.

In fact, it's not that Date Masamune is a mere two hundred and five, but ...... He simply doesn't have that many iron cannons.

In order to equip such a large-scale cavalry before, it had consumed a huge amount of financial resources of the Date family, and the subsequent logistics work forced the Date family's finances to the point of exhaustion.

Before the Battle of Mukai, the Date family actually did not have the ability to fight for a long time. (To be continued......)
