62, Dragon Battle in the Wild (4)

Attacking at such a distance, Uesugi Kenshin was really calm. If there was a slight deviation, the 500 armored cavalry led by Shinhachiro would rush into Uesugi's ashigaru army, and the cavalry that blocked it would be useless. This can't help but echo two sentences in my heart: "Hidden under the nine earths, moving above the nine heavens!" ”

My troops were mentally prepared for a possible attack on the flanks, but they were only a little lax when they saw that they were about to make contact with the infantry. After the initial panic caused by the surprise attack, Shinhachiro's armored cavalry immediately counterattacked.

In a sense, we have to thank the super "quality" of the armor equipment, which makes the attack not too fast, but also easy to stop. It was also this quality that after the thirty or so knights on the edge were overwhelmed, the cavalry of the Echigo army had to stop helplessly. After the initial high-speed impact wore off, the Echigo cavalry felt like they were stuck in a "reef" group.

"Kill these guys!" Shinhachiro roared angrily and turned his horse's head, and with his spear, he cut off half of the head of one of the Echigo cavalrymen. Under his leadership, the armored horsemen quickly put away the javelin in their right hands and pulled the scimitars into their hands. The two armies were mixed and a melee began.

"Do you see where this cavalry came from?" I asked casually as I watched the situation ahead with my binoculars.

"It should be mixed in the second echelon of the left flank, because it is outside the range of the cannon, so the formation is relatively dense, and they also dismounted just now!" The Gamo clan didn't actually see it, but just estimated the general situation just now with its extremely sensitive battlefield intuition. "Uesugi Kenshin's soldiers have always been in line with the 'way of war' rather than 'military theory', and the formation has always added new ideas to the classics of 'crane wings' and 'spindles', and it has created a unique 'car suspension' array that is unparalleled in the world. The most important thing to be careful about when fighting with him is change, and the same formation will be different today and yesterday. I can't imagine that a person who is so old-fashioned is so varied in the use of soldiers! ”

"Maybe it's a split personality!" I searched carefully among the cavalry that had begun to mingle, and replied casually.

"Split personality...... What is that? The Gamo clan was stunned when he heard this new term, wondering if this was some kind of secret art of war.

"Split personality is ......," I thought about how to explain it to him. I can't tell! "In the end, I didn't think it through. At this point, I felt a moment of peace in my mind, because I was gaining the upper hand in this small battle.

Japan's wars before the middle of the Warring States period were mainly fought by peasants and soldiers, and the only cavalry was almost all samurai, which was both a faΓ§ade and the foundation for the lord to maintain his rule. Based on the above situation, cavalry battles have almost formed a kind of rule: the cavalry of both sides will only staggered and slide on the side, and will never engage in a head-to-head confrontation of life and death! Otherwise, once you are injured by the bones, the losing side will be completely finished, and even the winning side will inevitably be cleaned up by others.

The combat power of the Uesugi cavalry is indeed the first choice of the Warring States, and the long spear and fast horse coupled with the mobile and flexible tactics are indeed very effective against the ashigaru, but the poor equipment makes them not very suitable for the slashing and slashing of the cavalry in the same place, and they are far worse than Takeda's Akabei in this regard.

After the two sides stopped hedging and the mixed individual combat began, the Uesugi 800 cavalry quickly fell into a disadvantage, the spears in their hands were continuously cut off by the sharp blades of the Damascus scimitar, and the few poor attacks were mostly hit by the snowy knight's shield. In this way, one by one, the Echigo cavalry fell off their horses covered in blood and mutilated limbs, and the battle was developing in the direction of slaughter.

"Kill these guys and go get the head of Kenshin Uesugi!" Shinhachiro screamed and threw a shot into the head of one of the Echigo cavalrymen into the cavity, then turned and slashed at a samurai who was leading the group.

"Look at the guns!" The samurai was also a master of the spear, and with the flip of his hands, he danced the cross-lance into a spear. Although this trick is complicated, he made it just right, and the small branch on the cross spear actually locked the "Shura's Fury".

"Hah!" Shinhachiro's eyes widened in anger and shouted loudly, which frightened his opponent slightly, and his wrist turned in a row, and the spear in his hand spiraled. The artifact from the hands of the authentic master was really extraordinary, and it actually stirred up the opponent's cross-text spear sprig into a plain gun.

"Open!" The warrior realized that the situation was wrong, and wanted to parry the barrel of the gun, but he couldn't knock the terrifying tip of the gun and was stabbed in the heart.

"Sugihara's pro-constitution has been taken!" The Gamo clan is also watching with a telescope, and the main generals under my command are basically one now.

"Is it famous?" I turned my head and asked, a name I hadn't heard before.

"One of the twenty-five generals of Uesugi, although his talent is average, it is said that he is good at martial arts!" His heart is indeed thinner than mine, and even such a person can recognize him.

"Now we have lost less than fifty men, and the casualties of the Uesugi cavalry have exceeded six hundred!" I'm now gradually sorting out the context, and people are refreshed by it. β€œβ€¦β€¦ If this continues, the front army will be broken through immediately, will Uesugi Kenshin watch such a thing happen? ”

"Probably not!" The Gamo clan frowned and shook his head, smacking his lips and said, "No matter what kind of enemy you face, Uesugi Kenshin doesn't seem to have flinched from anyone......"

"Another Echigo cavalry!" At this time, the warbler suddenly whispered behind me, although she didn't use a telescope, her eyes were so much better than mine.

"Oh!" I immediately turned my face back, searching for the sudden incident.

Sure enough, a cavalry with about 500 people rushed out of the center of the main formation, and it was not easy to be spotted because it was separated from the chaotic battlefield. This is a cavalry that is completely different from the equipment of other troops, and they are all dressed in black and heavy armor, which is almost already the equipment of a mid-level samurai in the Hokuriku! These cavalrymen were not the spears that the Echigo army was accustomed to, and each of them carried a significantly longer sword. In this group of men and horses I immediately noticed a man, and he was the leader of this group of cavalry.

The man was thin and wore a half-covered helmet, though the beard on his chin was vaguely intelligible to be a man of several years. His black armor was actually not much different from the person behind him, and what attracted attention was his murderous aura that could not be concealed. He and the five hundred cavalrymen behind him carried a tall white banner with a small "Bi" character printed on the top.

Although the "obstacles" at hand had not yet been completely cleared, Shinhachiro immediately felt the murderous aura that was rapidly approaching. "Come on!" He instinctively greeted him, with the passion of eager to fight his opponent.

"Who are those?" I looked at this army that was so different and asked the Gamo clan. This force left me with the feeling of a group of evil spirits from hell, without any killing sounds or screams in their mouths, but the murderous aura that seeped out of them was terrifying.

"It should be Uesugi Kenshin's guards, I haven't heard of them on the battlefield except for the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima!" The muscles on his left cheek trembled slightly, and there seemed to be some palpitations. It is said that they came to earth to kill, and there was no need to increase their faith or courage in any way. It can be said that they are the two sides of one body of Uesugi Kenshin, the true sword of the king of Bishamon! ”

"This is just the first round of temptation, is that what Kenshin Uesugi is like! Doesn't he have any other back-up? "I'm a little puzzled by this kind of behavior, at least I've never bet on all of my money at once.

"Uesugi Kenshin has at least four thousand or more light horsemen, but he can't help it!" The eyes of the Gamo clan moved away from the fierce battlefield and drifted towards the big banner of the word "Bi" held high. "The Echigo army is known as a strong soldier in the world, and it is largely due to their morale generated by pride. Being beaten by the opponent with a similar force and being completely powerless is unacceptable to Uesugi Kenshin. It is precisely because of this that he wants to use this method to prove that the Echigo army is the strongest army in the world, and justice is always on the banner of 'Bi' behind him, and justice will win! ”

"Such a person has not died yet, what an outlier!" I shook my head and turned my attention back to the battlefield, no longer trying to understand the "weirdo".

At this time, Shinhachiro in front of him had already exchanged hands with the veteran, and in addition to the fact that the first shot was stabbed by Shinhachiro due to the length of the weapon, the veteran actually returned four knives in a staggered way. Although Shinhachiro's gun was sealed with his left hand to push the back of the knife, after all, he knocked out the thunderbolt that came out with all his might, and the knife was sparkling on the barrel of the gun when he returned to the hand, so it can be seen that the arm and wrist were not affected much. is also a delicate and fast sword move, and only keeps Shinhachiro busy.

"Happy!" After drinking all his life, Shinhachiro took the horse back, and there was no one else in his eyes at the moment. Such an opponent had not been seen for a long time, and he was excited as if he had been injected with a ****** with the number four nines. "Who's coming?" The voice of the question and the huge tip of the gun of "Shura's Wrath" were handed over at the same time.

"Yataro Onikojima has come to take your head!" Dodged the attack, and the veteran swung his knife and fought with Shinhachiro in one place.

The addition of this army did greatly change the situation on the battlefield, although the equipment was still far inferior to the armor cavalry, but it made up for the lack with technology. It's not so much that they're a troop of swordsmen, and they're extremely skilled in fighting on horseback. In the fight, they deliberately avoided their chests and shields, locking their attacks onto their heads, throats, and armpits. The casualty figures of our troops began to mount.

"Look at the knife!" Onikojima Yataro immediately leaned over with a strange scream, and the sword came up from Shinhachiro's arms from the bottom up and went straight to the front door. Although Shinhachiro raised his head in time to dodge the fatal blow, he still left a hole more than three inches long in his neck, and he almost moved his head.

Shinhachiro touched the mold with his hand, and this was the first time he had been injured on the battlefield. "Prepare to die!" Licking the blood from his palms with his tongue, his eyes slowly narrowed, and then he rushed straight towards Yataro Onitajima.

Yataro Onikojima still knocked away Shinhachiro's shooting, and thought about how to counterattack by taking advantage of the wrong opportunity. But this time the situation was different, Shinhachiro's left foot was a little horse's shoulder, and the "Nightmare" collided with the opponent's war horse face to face.

The horse, which was far inferior to the steed of the "Nightmare", took two steps back and sat on the ground at once. Yataro Onikojima was caught off guard by the sudden change, and the huge blade of the spear pierced him in the chest. Looking at the half-flashing edge of the cold light, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth......
