Chapter 27: The Battle of Ueda (I)
Antlers Ueda Castle
The defensive line built of wooden fences and planks outside the city was connected to the two branch cities on the left and right, and in addition to the 200 troops in the branch city, the 800 troops of the Andong army defended this defense line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not far from the opposite side, the flags were unfurled, and the three thousand troops of the Southern Clan were lined up in front of them, putting pressure on the Andong family like a long dragon.
Surrounded by many samurai, Andong stood at the head of the castle and looked out, and he saw the main camp of Harimasa in the south on the opposite side, and the troops of the Antler County who had defected.
"Why hasn't the Iyuan family's army come yet? Scared? A samurai grumbled.
Anton has not panicked recently, he believes that he can defend, after all, he also has more than 1,400 troops, but he also understands that his military rations and morale are not as good as the southern army that has just set out, and he hopes that the Iyuan clan can keep the covenant.
Nanbu Harumasa sat on the maza in this formation, still holding a folding fan and wearing a crane pattern array feather paper, he waved the folding fan lightly, and a samurai immediately picked up the screw horn and blew it vigorously.
"Woo~woo~" The horn of the attack sounded, and the Chinese warriors who had been prepared below immediately shook their spirits and waved the saber in their hands.
"Attack! Offensive! ”
More than 600 Antlers soldiers dressed in various colors and equipped with banners and equipment rushed to the improvised wall defended by the Anton Army.
"Bluff! Intimidate! Intimidate! Led by their respective samurai, they shouted trumpets rhythmically and rushed towards the wall.
Yoshihisa Osato commanded Ashigaru to enter the defensive line.
"Iron Cannon Corps. Hurry up! ”
The iron artillery team of about fifty people hurriedly stood behind the wooden fence with iron cannons, and several iron cannons pointed their guns at the people of the Antler County who rushed up, and their hands trembled slightly unconsciously.
"What are you doing, put the iron cannon well, you can't fire without an order." Dali Yijiu whipped the ashigaru whose hands trembled a little, and the ashigaru was sweating profusely.
Dali Yoshihisa then shouted: "There is no such strong defense in this world, and I am glad that it is us who defend inside." Anton, Wan Sheng! ”
"Anton, Wansheng!" "Wan Sheng!"
"Don't be afraid, it should be the enemy who is afraid, send them to Huangquan Hirasaka!"
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! Everyone shouted in unison, and the pre-war tension was swept away.
"Ready!" "Fire."
Bang bang bang! Bang! There was a burst of smoke in front of the wooden fence, and when the Antlers army rushed two hundred paces, Osato Yoshihisa gave the order to attack.
"Ahh "Help me! I can't move my legs......" "Ah! ……”
There are constantly Antlers who are hit by iron cannons and wail on the ground, unless they are hit by the vital point, they are generally hit on the battlefield, although they lose their combat effectiveness and do not die immediately, they can only wail in pain.
"Rush up, kill!" The leading samurai gathered up their courage to charge in fear, and the southern hall was watching them, how could they retreat!
Bang bang bang...... Another burst of cannon sounds.
Whoosh, as soon as they ran closer, they opened their bows and arrows and prepared, and the Anton army had already prepared a rain of longbows and arrows waiting for them.
"Kill!" Yoshihisa Osato rushed out of the fence with a spear in hand, and a large number of samurai with spears followed him towards the Antlers Army.
"Yikes!" Yoshihisa Osato directly pierced through the body of a person, then pulled out the katana at his waist and reflexively slashed to kill the samurai who tried to attack him.
The Antlers People's Army fell into disadvantage under the initiative of Anton's Dali Yoshihisa, and some of the countrymen were lightly armed with trembling hands and did not know whether to advance or retreat, and in the end he was naturally greeted with death.
Nanbu Harumasa looked at the battle in the distance, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, and the other southern samurai also smiled at the dead national army.
Moments later, the Antlers army began to break up and retreated to the front of the southern army.
Nanbu Haruma nodded to Kita Shinai, and Kita Shinai immediately walked forward.
"Roar! Roar! ...... "The easy defeat of the southern army greatly boosted the morale of Anton's army, and he howled loudly.
The scattered national army returned to the military formation under the leadership of the samurai, and only about 200 of the more than 600 people came back, and some of the samurai's hair buns were scattered and shed bloody tears.
"Take it!" At the command of Kitanobu Ai, all the samurai who had just escaped were pressed to the ground, and those men also fell to their knees under the spears.
"Your Highness, we are not sorry for the southern family!" One of the samurai immediately shouted.
"Humph! In order to get the military order, he retreated privately and beheaded the public. Beixin Ai's expressionless voice immediately made the samurai of Antler County who had just escaped death look desperate.
More than 20 heads fell to the ground, indicating that the powerful people of Antler County were almost swept away, which was exactly what Southern Qingzheng wanted, and with such a test just now, the defense of the Andong Army was already clear at a glance.
"This is the end of running away without permission, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!" Beixin Ai picked up a head and shouted to the surrounding military forces: "Let the Anton family collapse in front of the military forces of my southern family, honor, wealth, women, everything is on the other side, kill!" ”。
"Hooray! Kill! Kill! Kill! "The southern army was mobilized by Kitanobu Ai.
Nanbu Harumasa stood up, raised his hand and waved a folding fan, the standard-bearers waved the banner, and a samurai drew his sword under the banner and shouted: "Attack!" ”
Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Under the sound of the trumpet, the southern army finally began to move like a lion awakened.
Just when the Andong Army and the Southern Army were in a fierce exchange of fire, Iyuanzhe led 600 troops to Pia Ling unhurriedly, where Ueda Castle could be seen in the distance.
"My lord, the first formation of the Southern Army has collapsed, and the second formation has been launched." A subordinate came down to report.
Yi Yuanzhe was still resting leisurely beside him, taking out the rice and chewing it with relish.
"Lord, shouldn't we go over?" Igen Tengxin looked at Iyuan Zhe so puzzled.
"No, you eat! The rice balls are a little hard. ”
"Huh?" Teng Xin took the rice ball, and he didn't know what the lord meant, whether to fight or not!
"Lord ......"
Just as Teng Xin was about to ask, Yi Yuanzhe interrupted him: "The rice ball is a little hard, but don't you swallow it after a few more chews?" Look, we're here for the rice balls. ”
Teng Xin looked in the direction of Yi Yuanzhe's finger, and saw the banner of the Daguang Temple shaking the banner, and a southern army of nearly eight hundred was coming towards them.
"Prepare for battle!" Teng Xin immediately shouted, and the ashigaru who was resting around him immediately stood up and lined up under the leadership of their respective ashigaru heads.
I saw that Daguang Temple was in front of the ridge and did not rush up the mountain forest. He knew that such an impact would put his side in danger.
Daguang Temple knew that they must be inside, and he had been letting people out as sentry agents because he was afraid that Yi Yuanjun would come to attack from behind, and now that he found out, he naturally had to keep an eye on them.
Ashigaru and the samurai looked at the dense forest with their spears sweating on their foreheads in the middle of the battle, as if they didn't know what would rush out of it, which was unsettling.
Whoosh ...... Suddenly, a burst of arrows flew out of the forest, and the front of the Daguang Temple was immediately killed and wounded, and the front was slightly chaotic by such a beat.
"Roar!" A loud roar was coming from the forest, and the Daguang Temple army was immediately attracted by the sound.
Trample...... Trample...... The horse's hooves slammed into the ground, and I saw a knight in the lead, wearing a black armor and a feather on his head, and a ghost tooth mask like a knight from Hell Shura.
Multiply! The cavalry samurai cut off the head of the former Ashigaru Shogun with a single sword, and the horizontal sword was immediate.
"Huh~" Immediately after, a well-equipped, tall and full-body pitch black ketone pill Ashigaru rushed into the Daguang Temple army like a black tide.
Daguang Temple was in the back of the battle, his eyes were open like copper bells, looking at the army like a black tide, and his own ashigaru was actually killed and injured as soon as he saw it. Is this the elite of the Iyuan family? He asked in his heart.
Southern Harimasa Honjin
"Your Highness, the Daguang Temple Hall has discovered the traces of Yiyuan's army, and has led the army to the right side."
"Hmm!" Nanbu Harumasa nodded, he believed that the Daikoji Masa would be able to stop Iyuanzhe. It's just that they all underestimate the opponent of Yi Yuanzhe, he is not an ordinary Warring States tycoon.
