Chapter 600: The Retreat of Kanesaki (3)
During the Warring States period, many samurai liked to dismount and fight, but this actually has little to do with the general short size of Japanese horse breeds, after all, strictly speaking, the vast majority of Japanese are not very tall. The reason why the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info don't like to fight immediately is only one reason, it is very dangerous.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that in Japan, cavalry is an absolutely rare type of troops, and except for a few horse-producing countries, it is difficult for the daimyo in other places to form a cavalry force. It's like the Red Black Guards that Oda Nobunaga formed at the beginning, although they looked like cavalry, but in fact they were just personal guards used to transmit messages, and they were not willing to let them go to the battlefield at all.
This created a situation in which in most of the wars was fought only by the samurai who commanded the troops on horseback, and the ashigaru could only run honestly. In this way, when these mounted samurai are also going to battle, they will basically choose to dismount and fight. Otherwise, wouldn't there be a cavalryman among a handful of infantry, and tell all the enemies that he is a general, come and kill me?
Of course, people like Keiji Maeda didn't care about this, and they always fought on horseback, because with their martial bravery, they wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing at all. And people like Shiraki Xingjiu and others, it is because their swordsmanship is more powerful in foot combat. Just as Oda Yoshinobu rarely fought with Yagi on a horse, the length of the sword made it impossible to use many sword moves at all.
Having said that, Sen Kecheng also knew that it was dangerous for him to ride on a horse, but at this time he could only do so, and the trembling of Isono Yuanchang and the overnight escape made his physical strength have bottomed out. After all, he is already 45 years old this year, and he can be regarded as entering old age in this era.
In the face of the surprise attack of Isono and Endo, Mori did not feel afraid, but calmly continued to command the troops to resist. For this veteran who has been on the battlefield for nearly 30 years, the situation in front of him is just a wave in the stormy waves he has experienced over the years.
And ahead, "My lord, the Asai army led the army to assault the two wings of our army, and the general generals of the unification army were the fierce generals of the Asai family, Isono Yuanmasa and Endo Naojing." Mai suddenly appeared next to Yoshinobu Oda and shouted.
|“ Tsk, these bastards! Oda Yoshinobu scolded secretly, but he could only choose to believe Mori Kecheng. Because now that they have penetrated deep into the Asai Army, it is impossible to turn back. And he believes that with the strength of Mori Kasei, it is impossible for the Asai army to break through so easily. Although the physical strength is far inferior to the Asai army, regardless of morale or numbers, the Oda army will not lose to the Asai army. And war, isn't it all about numbers and momentum?!
Well, what can Oda Yoshinobu do now besides comforting himself like this?
"Kill!!" Oda Yoshinobu shouted, the already violent offensive became even more crazy, and the only thing he could do now seemed to be to continue to kill, killing until the Asai army was scared and frightened, so that the pressure on the ashigaru people was naturally less.
"It's really a fierce general unparalleled in the world......" Asai Nagamasa sighed as he looked at Oda Yoshinobu, who was invincible everywhere he went, he didn't care much about the current situation, because in his opinion, as long as the Oda army could not leave, Oda Yoshinobu could only be surrounded by them. When the Asakura army arrives, then the result will be decided.
As for whether the troops will be terrified by Oda Yoshinobu's crazy killing, which will eventually lead to a rout, Asai Nagamasa still has that confidence. Moreover, at this time, the three of Haibei Gangqin had already gone to the battlefield to command, and with them, the troops could not be so easily frightened.
And Oda Yoshinobu seems to have discovered this, but what makes him helpless is that if he has any signs of wanting to attack the Asai Nagamasa main formation, Asai Nagamasa will immediately move the main formation. If it was before, Oda Yoshinobu could have led the army to turn and continue the impact, but unfortunately this situation makes Oda Yoshinobu unable to change direction at all.
"Alas, it seems that this is the only way to go, how much can be brought out......" Oda Yoshishi sighed confidently, secretly making up his mind that no matter what the situation was in the future, he would keep the Grim Reaper by his side. With them, this war would definitely not have been fought so hard.
And in the middle of the Oda Army, Mori Kecheng really did not disappoint Oda Yoshinobu, under his command, although Isono Yuanchang and Endo Naokyo continued to attack, but they were still blocked by the Oda Army.
"Is there a way to kill that guy?!" Naokei Endo asked Daisuke Surata beside him in a cold voice, he was a famous iron cannon master of the Asai family, and he claimed to be able to kill the running hare with an iron cannon.
Hearing this, Utoda Daisuke shook his head, "It's too far." ”
"That's right......" Endo Naokei didn't say anything more when he heard this, but continued to order the troops to attack.
Under the hard work of Oda Yoshinobu, the Oda army continued to charge in the formation of the Asai army, and I don't know how long it took for the line of the Asai army to be broken through most of it. However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that the strength of the Asai army was only more than 10,000 people, and many of them were the Asakura army that had been defeated by the Oda army before. With such a small number of troops, it is not realistic to completely block the impact of Oda Yoshinobu's nearly 10,000 people.
"What the hell is going on with the Asakura Army?!" Asai Nagamasa asked angrily, but unfortunately, no one could answer his question. "Shit, what the hell are these bastards doing?!" Asai Nagamasa scolded secretly, his expression was very hideous.
Well, at this moment, although Asai Nagamasa did not count the losses, just by his eyes, he knew that the troops of the second party had lost at least more than a thousand people. In the face of the desperate charge of the Oda army, and more importantly, the ghostly martial arts of Oda Yoshinobu, the Asai army was really a little unbearable.
"Keep rushing! I'm about to rush out! Oda Yoshinobu shouted, he had even seen the end of the Asai army. It's just that at this time, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing behind him, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look, and the family crest of the Asakura family appeared in his eyes.
"Shit, these bastards are finally here!" Seeing this, Asai Nagamasa secretly scolded, "Pass my order, put all your troops into it, and you must stop the Oda army!" ”
The war has continued until now, and Asai Nagamasa finally threw himself into the main camp. Although there are only about 2,000 people, at this time, it is enough to change the tide of the war. He believed that Oda Yoshinobu and the Oda army could not support it until now, and they were just fighting with momentum.
"As long as I can interrupt this momentum......" Asai Nagamasa thought to himself.
