Chapter 479: Hand-to-hand combat

What he was most afraid of was that the Gaoshan army took advantage of the formation of the army under his command, so he led the army to rush over, but this did not happen, although the Gaoshan army was still approaching, but the speed was slow, until the two armies approached a distance of about two hundred meters, only to see the headband inlaid with a horse Linzi helmet, wearing a red armor of the Gaoshan clan Zongce horse came to the front of the formation, and on his side, it was a foot light holding a golden peacock horse seal. *.*.*/*

The Takayama clan came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "I am the general of the Oda clan, the Takayama clan, I am afraid you will not be blessed to defeat you last time, and I will give you another chance, after you are in formation, you will fight again." After saying that, the clan sect didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all, and directly turned the horse back to the main formation, waiting for the other party to line up.

Although Nakagawa Qingxiu was very angry when he saw the clan's Zongtuo, the other party was a famous mountain army, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Although the Takayama Army did not attack, it formed a huge pressure on the Miyoshi family banner, even if it was a formation, it was much slower than usual, and Nakagawa Kiyohide was afraid that the Takayama clan would not believe it, so he first lined up the first three formations, and then took into account the last six formations, lest the Takayama Army be unable to resist when the army under his command rushed over.

Since the Miyoshi family flags were all spears and had no other troops, Nakagawa Kiyohide had to discharge nine regular formations, each of which was 100 people, and he himself led a hundred flags to the back of the large array.

As soon as the formation of the Miyoshi Army was formed, Nakagawa Kiyohide immediately ordered the front six formations to approach the Gaoshan Army, he knew that the longer the Dao was held, the more ineffective he was to himself, and now although the Qianyu army under his command had been arrayed, the pressure on the Gaoshan Army to stay on them had not disappeared, let alone them. Even he also has some palpitations, if the Gao Shan Army is still the same as when he fought before, there are only five or six hundred people, and they have been trapped in the city for many days, and their morale is low, if he is still sure, then now the number of the Gao Shan Army has not only increased, but their murderous eyes show that being trapped in the city a few days ago has not had much impact on their morale. In this way, I am not half sure.

And when the Miyoshi army was approaching the opponent's large formation and was about to reach a distance of 100 meters, he only heard Nakagawa Kiyohide in the formation shouting: "Charge me, as long as you can rush to the front of the high mountain army, we will win." ”

He knew that the mountain army of the Dao Dao was very powerful, and if he approached as slowly as he was now, as long as he was moving forward, he would become the target of the enemy's heavy vine bow, and I was afraid that before they could reach the front, the whole army would be wiped out.

And the Miyoshi family flag was originally after receiving the order. Under the leadership of the samurai at the head of the formation, a charge began against the Takayama Army.

"Heavy vine bow ashigaru aim at the enemy and release arrows." Seeing that the enemy had already rushed into the firing range, Omiya Keiren gave the order without hesitation.

After two rounds of arrow rain. Although dozens of casualties were inflicted on the enemy, the other party was the banner of the Miyoshi family after all, and it was far from being comparable to the peasant soldiers under the command of the Hao clan, so the rain of arrows fired in the enemy formation did not collapse, but rushed forward more quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already within the range of the iron cannon, and Sugitani Zenjubo saw this. Immediately order the iron cannon to shoot ashigaru. After the iron cannon fired, under the combination of projectiles and arrows, the casualties of the Miyoshi Army increased greatly, and because the samurai of the left vanguard was unfortunately shot by the projectile in the center, due to his death, it also led to the collapse of the left vanguard of the Miyoshi army.

After the third round of arrow rain, the central vanguard had also collapsed because it had suffered the most attacks. Although Nakagawa Kamihide has collapsed twice, he has already approached the distance of more than forty meters from the Takayama Army. As long as you work harder, you can fight into the enemy's array. And as long as the two armies are mixed together, it is impossible for the cavalry around the Gaoshan clan to launch a surprise attack, which invisibly weakens the combat power of the Gaoshan army. …,

And as long as the two sides get close, the heavy vine bow and the iron cannon are useless, and the only thing that the Takayama Army can really exert its combat power is the ninja and the spear Ashigaru, if the ninja launches a sneak attack, it still makes him very jealous, but if the battle is frontal, then Nakagawa Kiyohide will not take them in his eyes, of course, this is entirely because he does not know about the Takayama ninja, which will cause him to think like this, otherwise, he will never dare to despise the Takayama ninja army.

Thinking of this, I only heard Zhongchuan Qingxiu hurriedly and loudly ordered: "The middle three formations are pressed quickly, quickly." ”

The three leading samurai who originally followed the first three formations unhurriedly, after hearing the order, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded their subordinate ashigaru to attack the Takayama Army, because the first three formations of the Miyoshi family had advanced to a place more than forty meters away from the Takayama Army, so the middle three formations did not waste much effort to reach here, and saw that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, so when the iron cannon Ashigaru and the heavy vine bow Ashigaru finished shooting a round, they only listened to the order of the clan: "Sugitani Zensukebo, Omiya Keiren, speed the leader of the army to retreat, Katsusuke Tanaka commanded the spear Ashigaru to block the enemy for me. ”

After receiving the order, the Takayama army immediately changed its defense, only to see the spear ashigaru and the ninja army flashing to the side of the general, making way for the heavy vine bow ashigaru and the iron cannon ashigaru, and they directly passed through the large formation, straight to the Takayama army's main formation to re-arm, although they were sure that the enemy would never rush here, but they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

I saw that the iron cannon ashigaru and the heavy vine bow ashigaru lined up three rows in front of the Takayama clan and the cavalry, forming another barrier, and the iron cannon ashigaru took advantage of this opportunity to change the guard, and pulled out the iron thorns on his waist one after another, inserted them on the iron cannon, and stood in front of the heavy wisteria bow ashigaru in a row.

Nakagawa Kiyohide saw that the enemy's long-range attack force had retreated, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, as long as the opponent's long-range attack team did not continue to block the advance of his own army, then there would be a possibility of victory in close contact with the Takayama army, just listen to his order without hesitation: "The last three formations listen to the order, all press, target the Takayama clan, attack!" ”

Since there was no iron cannon and heavy vine bow to block it, whether it was the middle three formations or the last three formations, they soon came to the front of the Takayama army.

When the two armies intersected, Katsusuke Tanaka did not hide behind 200 spear ashigaru to command, but at the moment when the enemy rushed closer, he passed through his ashigaru and came to the front of the formation, and engaged the enemy in short combat.

The lord had promised himself that if he could accomplish great success in this battle, he would be given the right to ride a horse, and the good horse that he had obtained by breaking into the enemy's camp a few days and nights to obtain Toki Yoriji would also become his mount.
