Chapter 349: Battle of Kanano (Finale)
As the only riding team of the Tsugawa family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Soharu Tsugawa is very willing to work the horseback team.
The cavalry of the Tsugawa family, each dressed in a red carcass, each armed with a sword and spear of fine texture. In terms of equipment, the Tsugawa family's horseback team is no better than Anton's horseback team, and the only thing they lack is the actual combat experience of fighting against the cavalry.
However, this is the case with the Tsugawa family's horseback team, and the same is true for the Anton family's horse riding team.
The Anton family's cavalry team did not experience any decent battles, and the only enemies encountered were the Tsugawa family's large-scale cavalry. However, the battles between the Anton family and the southern family were mostly cage battles, and there were few large-scale battles in the field.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Andong family and the cavalry of the Tsugawa family can be described as comparable.
The cavalry of the Tsugawa family, under the guidance of Kanna Toishin, were like a long red dragon, and the flag behind them made a grinning sound in the wind. After the horseback team of the Ando family and the horseback team of the Tsugawa family charged back and forth several times, there were casualties on each other.
Kanna Toshishin roughly counted the cavalry behind him, and more than a dozen people had already been lost. On the side of Anton's family, because there were 100 more cavalry, the loss was relatively small.
Looking at the menacing Matsuda Yabei and others not far away, Kannatoki's confidence was not good. At present, the battle on the battlefield is anxious, if you can't support the Anton family's cavalry, then there is no force on the battlefield to stop the Anton family's cavalry.
When the time comes, hundreds of cavalry will join the battlefield, and the Tsugawa family will be in danger.
Kanna Tokishin gasped for breath as the horseback teams of the Anto family and the Tsugawa family stopped charging. After several back-and-forth battles, not only did the cavalry have little strength, but even the war horses were too tired.
Japanese horses are originally synonymous with spicy chicken. There is even a theory that cavalry is a group of ashigaru on horseback, who charge in front of the enemy on horseback and then dismount and fight on foot. Although the riding teams of the Andong family and the Tsugawa family are not so unbearable, the war horses are indeed unbearable.
Among the better Japanese horses, the Kiso horse is generally used, and the famous Takeda Akabi is the Kiso horse used. However, the war horses of the Tsugawa family and the Ando family are the local war horses of Dewa Province, and the locals call them Akita horses or Hashu horses.
As an original Japanese Akita horse, it is small in size and has short legs. Although the speed is okay, the stamina is extremely poor. Soharu Tsugawa had previously ordered someone to test the war horse in the collar, and the result was tested. The best horses in the Tsugawa family can only maintain a charging posture within 300 meters. After that, the speed will gradually decrease.
War horses are the support of cavalry. The horses ran out of strength, and Kanna Toshinobu and Matsuda Yabei could only let the cavalry rest for a while, and wait for the cavalry and the horses to recover their strength before continuing the attack.
Just as the cavalry of both sides stopped their offensive, on the battlefield to the south. The Nagano Masabo team finally broke through the defense of the Kamiura Yoshicho team and entered the formation.
After several hours of fighting, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons led by Nagano Masaki finally defeated Kato Kiyobei Guards and killed them in front of Yoshinaga Kamiura.
The Nagano Masafang team and the Junko Shigedo team in the back saw that Nagano Masakai had opened an opening, and immediately organized Ashigaru to follow Nagano Masakai to kill it. For a while, the morale of the ashigaru team of the Kamira Yoshicho team began to waver.
Yoshicho Kamira yelled anxiously, "Kiyobei Kato! ”
"Your Excellency!" In the crowd, a samurai covered in blood strode to Yoshinaga Kato's side, and this person was none other than Kato Kiyobei.
"Rubbish! Repelled by about 100 people, what a waste! Yoshicho Kamira scolded angrily.
Kiyobei Kato replied loudly, "My lord! I also resisted to the death in the next, how could the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family not die one by one. The ashigaru of this family is not very motivated, and the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family has no power to resist it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense! The enemy is already attacking me! Quickly organize Ashigaru to block it for me, don't ........" Kamira Yoshi's long words were not finished, and his body suddenly froze.
Kato Kiyobei looked up suspiciously, only to see an arrow stuck in Yoshinaga Kamiura's throat........
"Block ...... Blocking the ......." Yoshicho Kamiura's eyes widened, his hands covered his neck, and he fell down unwillingly.
No one expected that Yoshicho Kamira would die so suddenly.
"Kamiura-sama! Yes! Kanura-sama is dead! Kiyobei Kato suddenly let out a loud roar, and then began to flee to the rear.
The ashigaru around them suddenly heard that Shinura Yoshicho had died in battle, and quickly turned their heads to look at the position where Shinura Yoshicho was standing. I saw that Yoshicho Kamiura, who was alive and well just now, had fallen to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
At this time, the Kamira Yoshicho team, which was already on the verge of collapse, finally couldn't hold on.
"Oh no! Adults are dead! ”
"Ahh Your Excellency is dead, run away! ”
The ashigaru of the Kamira Yoshicho let out a burst of frightened screams and began to flee in all directions. The defeated forces scattered a lot of Ashigaru who came to support.
Nagano Masato inspected the situation and immediately said loudly, "The enemy army is starting to rout, everyone rush!" ”
"Wow!" Seeing that the enemy army began to retreat, the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family suddenly had a high morale and began to follow Nagano Masabo to pursue the defeated Kamira Yoshicho.
The rout is contagious, and the ashigaru in front of him has already begun to rout. The Fukuda Yoshibei Guard and Kataoka Suizaburo Teams, who came to support, also began to waver.
"Yoshibei, it's not good! Kamiura-sama is dead, and the ashigaru people are being defeated on all fronts! Kataoka said in a panic to Fukuda Yoshibei beside him.
Fukuda Yoshibei tried his best to control the uneasiness in his heart, and said loudly, "Suizaburo, no matter what is ahead!" We must not retreat! The lord is right behind! Now that there are no troops around the lord, if we retreat again, the lord will be in danger! ”
"Good! Then kill it! Kataoka said loudly, "Everyone, follow me!" ”
"Kill!" Fukuda Yoshibei also bravely brandished the sword and killed the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family.
Seeing that Fukuda Yoshibei and Kataoka Suizaburo had already entered the enemy formation, although the Andong family Ashigaru behind the two was stunned for a while, he still gritted his teeth and rushed over with the two.
In the camp of Anton's family, Anton Shunji suddenly discovered the abnormality of his own troops on the battlefield, and hurriedly said to a banner book beside him, "Why did the family's troops retreat?" Check it out! ”
"Hah!"
After a while, the flag came.
"My lord! Oh no! Kamiura-sama was killed in battle. Qiben said in shock.
"What!" Anton Shunji's face changed drastically, and he said uneasily, "How can this be! Yoshicho Kamira actually died in battle? ”
"My lord, Lord Fukuda and Lord Kataoka are trying to block the Tsugawa family's attack. Ita-sama and Ishida-sama are fighting against the enemy Yoshikawa Hiroke and Akechi Mitsuhisa. Although the Kamira Yoshicho team was defeated, the people of the Tsugawa family were still blocked by the main family for the time being. Qiben said slowly.
"Huh........" Anton Shunji let out a long sigh of relief. As long as the troops in front can still block the people of the Tsugawa family, then there is still room for maneuver.
At this time, an army suddenly appeared to the south of Anton's main formation.
"Look, my lord! It's the strength of the Akao Tsu family! Qiben on the side suddenly said in surprise.
Anton Shunji looked back when he heard this, a force was rapidly approaching the battlefield, and the banners of the Chiwei Jin family were waving in the wind!
"Haha! The Akao Tsu family has finally arrived! Quickly pass the order, let the Akao Tsu family protect immediately enter the battlefield, and send the people of the Tsugawa family back to me! Anton Shunji said happily, "The Akao Tsu family is here, and the battle can finally end." Ha ha! ”
It's a pity that Anton Shunji would not have thought of it anyway. What does the arrival of the Akao Tsu family's troops mean.............
