82, the rabbit's roar (II)
When this raid team left the city, it didn't attract too many people's attention, but Shinhachiro muttered to himself after seeing it. But it's not a very flamboyant task, so he doesn't take it very seriously.
It is really difficult for such a small army to arouse people's alarm, and even the cavalry is often instinctively despised, in fact, there are many famous generals in the army in history who have died in the attacks of such a few people, but there do not seem to be many people who can learn a lesson. At the moment, the Miyoshi Army, including the Ten Rivers Division, is like this, and may even treat this as a small group of heralds.
"Hah!" Ah Xue took the lead in rushing into the infantry formation of Shihe Depository, and the white horse under his seat raised his hooves and kicked over four or five spears. Goto Matabei and others followed, and a small gap was opened in the flank of 5,000 men.
"Stop!" A black-faced samurai armed with a sword greeted him, and this was the unit he commanded. Although he had not yet figured out what was going on, he instinctively thought that this momentum could not be allowed to continue.
"Look at the knife!" Ah Xue raised the nagina knife in his hand and stabbed at the opponent's chest, and the knife looked quite fierce by borrowing the horse's momentum.
The opponent is also a battle-hardened general, and he judged the strength of each other's momentum at the first time, and with the difference in the length of the two weapons, it is obviously not advisable to attack strongly. "Open!" He screamed and slammed his sword outward, and at the same time led the horse to the side to avoid the front of Ah Xue's impact.
"Knife!" Seeing this opportunity, Ah Xue's knife head was picked up and turned out, and the blade more than a foot long ran in the direction of the black-faced samurai's face door. Although her strength is not small, it is not surprising in this battlefield that is almost entirely controlled by men, and it is not comparable to a "monster" like Shinhachiro. Therefore, Tsukahara Bu Chuan has always taught students according to their aptitude, and her martial arts win with tricks.
"Porphyry!" The icy blade slashed through the black-faced samurai's neck, blood spurting from the arteries forming a thick red mist. He fell from his horse with wide eyes, and didn't even have time to stain his own blood on Ah Xue's armor.
The sudden change finally attracted everyone's attention, and the chaos behind it directly led to the confusion of the soldiers fighting in front, is the main general who fought for it still alive? This is really an issue that deserves serious consideration by every general ashigaru. Someone in front of him had already begun to run backwards, and even the entire formation was scattered to a certain extent.
Shihe Deposit Insurance is neither an idiot nor a "straw chicken" who is in battle for the first time, and in the face of this situation, it immediately began to take measures to stabilize the morale of the military. The junior samurai in the front team began to concentrate on restraining their men, and a group of about 100 knights from the rear team met the "sneak attackers".
"That's the guards of the Ten Rivers Depository, attacking that horse seal!" Even in the chaotic and noisy battlefield, Ah Xue keenly grasped this series of changes, decisively gave up the opponent who had lost the will to resist at hand, and rushed towards the sign with the naginata in one fell swoop.
50 is a pair of 100 people, the difference in quantity is obvious, but the gap in "quality" between the two sides cannot be ignored! The two cavalry teams charged at each other, and then immediately began a bloody fight. The elite, who were regarded as the Iron and Steel Division by the Ten Rivers Depository, were now like spring and snow, and began to melt under the direct sunlight. The 50 men led by Ah Xue were rapidly approaching the Mayin of the Ten Rivers Deposit with almost no losses.
"How could the troops of the three people not be like this back then, it seems that the Miyoshi family is really not good!" Looking at the Ten Rivers Army, which is now one of the main forces of the Miyoshi family, I couldn't help but sigh from the castle tower.
"Although any strong family will inevitably have this day, but the prosperity and decline of the Miyoshi family will inevitably come in too haste!" After saying this, the half-soldier guard of Takenaka suddenly changed his words again. "But what is even more unclear in comparison is probably the comment on non-merit! Although the three of them supported the situation of the Miyoshi family after Changqing's death, it was they who greatly damaged their strength. Since the main hall entered, they have been harassing the coastal areas around Izumi and Settsu. But in fact, not only did this not gain the slightest benefit, but it damaged the hundred battle elite soldiers of their own headquarters, and in the end, they could no longer control the power and were driven down! If they had been running Shikoku at full capacity, they might not have had a chance to breathe. ”
"This shows that they are very responsible, and they can't bear to see the glory cut off in their own hands!" Although I said this in my mouth, I was thinking in my heart: If I were in that position, would I be able to make a sober choice?
A long time ago, I came into contact with some "stockholders" in the neighborhood, and it was really a group of specimens that have infinitely expanded "Yu Wang"! Always want to make more money when it goes up; When it falls, it thinks that it will rise soon; Whether it's up or down, I think I'm the smartest and luckiest one! What kind of people are ......
"Why did the Miyoshi Army move at this time?" Just when I was in a trance, the half-guard of Takenaka suddenly asked in surprise.
I looked closely, and sure enough, the situation had changed dramatically by this moment. The more than 20,000 Miyoshi troops that had been half-hidden at the exit of the valley all poured out at once, and they did not rectify and slaughtered the battlefield that was in the midst of fierce battles, but because of the distance and the lack of cavalry, they could not approach immediately.
"The Sanhao Army is really a seed, and it broke out so suddenly!" My interest is getting better and better, I didn't expect that the goal that I wanted to achieve with so much effort and so much effort was so inexplicably achieved. What's wrong with them? Got chicken blood, or mad cow disease?
"I see...... "I watched as the half-guard of Takenaka slowly stretched his brow that had just been furrowed, and nodded slightly." This bet of the Miyoshi Army is so big, but generally speaking, this is really an absurd move! ”
"How?" I didn't understand it for a while.
"The Miyoshi Army wants to take advantage of the opportunity of our cavalry squad to send troops, and charge quickly to let the two armies mix!" The half-guard of Takenaka pointed to the Miyoshi army that was attacking in formation all over the mountains and fields and said: "To do this now is to gamble, betting that Your Highness will not shell your own soldiers!" As long as you don't fire, maybe they'll have a chance, and they'll have a chance to win in close combat. ”
"They want to drown us with more than three times as many men!" I'm a little flustered at this point, and it's a bold strategy. Most of the princes of the Warring States period regarded human life as a mustard, and what could they do if they shelled their own troops, not to mention that they were only 50 people. But since they did so, it means that there must be a powerful person in it. "Good, they won the bet!" There's no way I'm going to shoot at my own men, and there's my Xue in there.
"It's a win, but it's also a loss, and we can't even use the cannon anymore!" It was rare that Takenaka Hanbei was no longer cautious, and his not-so-strong hand seemed to have firmly grasped the opportunity to win. "The formation of the army consists in dividing all the forces into the main and secondary, so that the solid and strong are used for the attack; so that the sensitive and fragile are protected; The operation room can also provide a temporary rest for tiredness. But like now, their formation is loose and out of shape, and it can't achieve the desired effect. Mixed together may make it impossible for us to use artillery, and we can also increase some numerical superiority, but not only will the weakness be exposed, but the communication will also be affected to a certain extent, and if something suddenly affects the morale of the army......"
"Okay, you can give the order!" I left all the decisions to him.
"Order Ke'er and Yamanaka to gather up their formation and move forward quickly, and directly attack the enemy's middle lane!" The half-guard of Takenaka raised his right hand in the air and waved it forward, and the conch next to him sounded and the flag began to shake frequently.
Just when the 6,000 infantry broke through the front line and began to embed the Ten Rivers military formation, Ah Xue's squad also approached the horse seal of the Ten Rivers Deposit after breaking through many resistances. At this moment, there were no cavalry in the Ten Rivers Guard, only a few generals with some elite infantry protecting their commander.
Riding on a tall cyan warhorse, the Ten Rivers Depository watched everything in front of him with a sword in his hand. His troops are finished, and now he has lost a third of his combat strength, and he is not an idiot even if he is reckless. He now finally understood Shinohara Nagafang's intentions for him, that man was really more hateful than the Zhuxing Qing clan.
"Ten Rivers Depository, take your life!" Just when Shihe Cunbao was still wondering whether to retreat at the risk of the collapse of his troops, or to hesitate, Ah Xue had already urged his horse to come to him, and Xue Liang's naginata knife struck his top door like a thunderbolt.
"Look for death!" Ten Rivers Deposit Insurance is worthy of being a famous fierce general of Shikoku, and he was not in a hurry in the face of the attack, and rushed forward with a war horse on his knees, taking advantage of the inconvenience of the two sides approaching the long knife, and slashed at Ah Xue's neck with an oblique knife.
"And me!" At this time, Goto Matabei rushed up after him, and stabbed the Su spear in his hand at the front of Tokawa Depository. As a last resort, he turned around and parried, and the three of them fought together.
Several retainers of the Shihe family also wanted to rush up to participate in the battle, but they were very mediocre in martial arts, and they were blocked by the three of them Sakurai.
Shihe Depositor is indeed brave, under normal circumstances, even if he fights Ah Xue and Goto Matabei in a double battle, he will not be left behind, and in his heart, he doesn't care too much about such a woman and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-year-old. But now his heart is in turmoil, and the whole battle situation is not determined by his victory or defeat.
"My lord! Former military ...... Yes! "A retainer was just halfway shouted before Imu Banqi was cut off the horse, but this half of the voice also disturbed the mood of Shihe Depositor. When he peeked, he found that his front army had broken up, and 200 knights, all in heavy armor, came over with a rumbling sound.
"Why didn't these damn bastards come to the rescue!" Shihe Depositor gritted his teeth and looked back, and immediately gasped. A group of ghostly cavalry appeared in the rear group at some point, constantly shouting and chasing after one horse print and handsome flag, and with the overturning of those marks and their masters, the 27,000-strong Miyoshi army was really fighting only a handful.
"Ahh The price of distraction was that Goto Matabei stabbed Tokawa in the right arm with a shot, and the sword fell and he was defeated.
The battle has reached this point, and there is nothing to watch!
