Chapter 621: Hold On! (Page 1/1)

Tokugawa Iemitsu was defeated at Atsugi Castle and devised a strategy to besiege and annihilate the pirates under Machida Castle. Follow his plan, as long as Machida Castle can hold out for a while, and wear down the pirate's spirit.

Then lead the elite warriors of the family to cut off the pirate's retreat, and then the pirate will be unable to escape. Even if you can't wipe out all the pirates, you will have to deal a heavy blow to the pirates and buy enough time for the shogunate sailors in Edo Bay to train.

However, the battle did not go according to his expectations, and Machida Castle, which he had high hopes for, was defeated by pirates. Not only did the reinforcements from all over the city suffer heavy casualties, but even the samurai of the own family in the city also lost more than 2,000.

At this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly asked the samurai of his family to speed up the assembly and rush to Machida Castle as soon as possible. If Machida Castle can't hold it, his plan will be completely ruined.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was hurrying slowly, finally learned that the pirates were bombarding Machida Castle with artillery fire near Machida Castle, and the Tokugawa family, who learned the news, could not let the tired soldiers rest, and immediately asked everyone to speed up and march towards Machida Castle.

Less than five miles from Machida Castle, Tokugawa Iemitsu could already hear "Rumble!" from the direction of Machida Castle. "The sound of artillery, the night of the two sides and the sentry also began to engage in a small area.

Fuhe looked at the dozen or so shogunate cavalrymen who appeared in front of him with disdainful expressions on their faces, and they had already solved a batch of shogunate sentry spies like this.

"Xue Hai! Can you kid hold it up? Bu asked his companion who had been stabbed in the thigh next to him.

Xue Hai gritted his teeth, looked at the thighs that were still oozing blood, and said, "Captain Buhe!" This little injury is a small meaning, and I can cut off the heads of a few more widows! ”

"Good! Brothers! Let the Japanese people know how powerful our Changxing Army is today! Buhe roared loudly, urging his horse and five companions to rush out.

The six-member night team has undergone long-term training, and they are familiar with each other and cooperate with each other. Just now, he killed ten Japanese cavalry spies, and just wanted to go back to rest, he met the Japanese again.

The task they received was to rob and kill the shogunate's sentinels, and now they naturally can't let it go. Therefore, due to the disadvantage of numbers, he still chose to attack.

Bu and Ichima rushed to the front, and he began to shoot arrows when the distance between them was thirty paces. This distance, combined with the inertia of the war horse, was enough to shoot the cavalry on the opposite side.

His archery skills were excellent, and he could still shoot a single arrow at a Japanese cavalry on a high-speed and bumpy horse. The cloth that shoots an arrow and immediately leans over the horse, on the one hand, reduces the chance of being shot by the opponent, and also allows the horse to increase the speed of running.

Just as he leaned over, "Whoosh! Sou! The sound of several arrows breaking through the air passed over his head, and Buhe couldn't help but secretly say that it was dangerous.

Although the cuirass of the Changxing Army is extremely strong, at such a close distance, the two sides are in a state of hedging, and it is definitely not a good thing to be shot by the other party.

The speed of the two sides hedged quickly, and when the shogunate cavalry counterattacked with arrows, Xue Hai also raised the short gun in his hand. The two short guns are held in the left and right hands respectively, and the whole body controls the war horse with only two legs.

"Bang! Bang! With two sounds, he put away the empty short gun, and then drew his saber and prepared for hand-to-hand combat. It was only a brief moment of fire that the sackcloth on his thigh was stained red with blood.

Xue Hai tried not to think about the pain in his legs, and focused all his attention on the enemy's body. In the close-range exchange of fire just now, his own short guns caused a lot of casualties to the shogunate cavalry.

There were originally more than a dozen shogunate cavalry, and there were less than ten people left on the horses. The two teams soon collided with each other, and a series of screams were heard, and blood kept flying in the air.

The injured Xue Hai was placed at the rear, and several of his companions in front of him had already made meritorious contributions. The moves used in melee combat by the cavalry of the Changxing Army are very simple, just a one-move split.

Xue Hai remembered the words of the instructor during the training, the small round shield of his left arm protected his body, and his right arm was raised high and tightly attached to the helmet on one side, and he slashed hard at the moment of confrontation with the enemy.

It's such a simple chopping Xue Hai has practiced thousands of times, and the essentials of each step are deeply engraved in his mind.

He could already see the oncoming shogunate cavalry, who was holding a bamboo spear in his hand. The sharp tip of the gun glistened in the sunlight, and the cool air was rising behind the people who watched.

When the two sides approached, the bamboo spear of the Japanese people was longer than Xue Hai's saber. At the moment when the two sides clashed, a shot was stabbed first, and the expression on the face of the Japanese was hideous, and he shouted loudly in his mouth.

Xue Hai's attention was all on the tip of the opponent's gun, he was no longer a rookie cavalryman. The cavalry hedge spear will undoubtedly have a certain advantage, but as long as you are prepared, it is not without a chance to win.

At the moment when the Japanese stabbed out the bamboo spear, the small round shield in the left hand protected his chest and abdomen, and the saber in the right hand slashed at the top of the Japanese people's heads.

The spear of the Japanese cavalry stabbed the edge of the small round shield in Xue Hai's hand, and the sharp bamboo spear slashed through the shield and stabbed Xue Hai's breastplate. After the cushion of the small round shield, the bamboo spear that stabbed the cuirass did not break Xue Hai's breastplate.

But the impact still made Xue Hai's body shake, and the saber in his hand that slashed at the Japanese cavalry was also a few points off, slashing into the shoulder of the Japanese people.

Suddenly, a stream of blood floated up from the shoulders of the Japanese people, and the bamboo armor on his people did not play much of a defensive role, and almost half of his arms were removed by Xue Hai's knife.

The painful widow screamed and fell off the horse, and disappeared in front of Xue Hai's eyes in a blink of an eye. But Xue Hai was by no means uncomfortable at this moment, although the widow did not puncture his breastplate, but it made him clamp his thigh hard again.

The wound that had been bandaged was oozing blood again, and the stinging sensation from his thigh almost made Xue Hai fall off his horse. The pain in his right arm was even more as if it had been broken, and the slash just now hit his arm. Although it hit the Japanese people hard, it also hurt his arm.

Just as the Japanese fell off their horses, another Japanese rushed up. The widow directly threw the bamboo spear in his hand at Xue Hai, who could only resist with the small round shield of his left arm.

As soon as he blocked the bamboo spear, the Japanese cavalry arrived in front of him. This widow was also brave, and he actually pounced on Xue Hai on his horse.

Xue Hai was pounced on by the other party, and the two rolled off the horse together. The two were entangled in their whereabouts, and the moment they landed, they rolled out far away. The gravel and clods on the ground cut through the clothes of the two of them, and if it weren't for Xue Hai's strong armor, I'm afraid he would have passed out.

"Xue Hai! Hold on, I'm here to save you! Xue Hai, who landed and kept rolling, heard Buhe's voice in his ears.
