Chapter 255: The Slaughter of the Cavalry
On this crisp autumn day, the long-tailed tiger queen in military uniform was arguing fiercely with a group of genealogy retainers, and the reason was that she was dressed in this dress, her long hair was tied up high with a bowl, and she was wearing the long tail of the great armor that was passed down to her.
Nagao Jingxin persuaded bitterly: "Her Royal Highness Princess! Never! ”
"How can Her Royal Highness the princess come to the battle array in person, this is absolutely not good!"
"How can Her Royal Highness the princess ......" Saito Asanobu was glared at by the girl, and said, "Actually, I don't think it's impossible to go." ”
Nagao Keishun glared angrily: "What did Mamoru Shimono say?" Now is not the time to add to the chaos, how can Her Royal Highness the Princess come out of the battle? This is nonsense! ”
"Does my uncle think I'm causing trouble?" The long-tailed tiger Ji glanced at the long-tailed Jingxin unhappily, the willow eyebrows were upside down, and the apricot eyes were wide and said coldly: "I am the daughter of the long-tail family, the governor of the long-tail family, and the lord of Echigo!" In the future, it will be the main room of Ashikaga Kamizaburo, and the daughter of my Taira clan will become the woman of Genji, so please keep this in mind at all times......"
Nagao Toranohime didn't realize how indifferent his tone was when he spoke, which made Nagao Keishin suddenly startled, and looked at his former stupid little niece in disbelief, who had quietly grown into a Ji warrior who dared to scold her, even though she was only twelve years old this year, even if she was not as tall as his brother, but that familiar feeling resurfaced in his mind.
"Wuweidian once said that the lord is the dragon of Echigo and the god of the Northern Army, so does Her Royal Highness the princess want to be the dragon girl of Echigo?" Nagao Jingxin was stunned and said, "That's it! Let Her Highness the princess decide. ”
The generations of the long-tail family tree exclaimed: "Fengzen guards the palace? How could you ......"
"Since everyone has no opinion, let's go out! Mamoru Toyozen, Mamoru Echizen, and everyone are here to guard it! The long-tailed tiger queen got up and left. Leaving behind a group of disappointed genealogy retainers.
Saito Asanobu slapped his shirt and stood up calmly. I saw the retainers of the spectrum generation losing their souls one by one. Pouting in a strange tone, he said with a slight mockery: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the big bear Chaoxiu and Cheng Zhengzi? Or are you worried that the reinforcements of the Jimbo family can't be defeated? Yamamoto Sado didn't say anything, why should we worry? Her Royal Highness the Princess is not only the governor of my Nagao family, but also the woman in the main room of the Wuwei Palace, so I should worry about the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”
"Hehe......" Yamamoto Shiyuki seemed to notice that everyone was looking at him, and then said with a smile: "Actually, there is no problem, if Her Royal Highness the Princess wears the big armor for Jing Gong, there may be unexpected effects." ”
"Is that so?" Nagao Keishin pondered for a moment. Uneasy, he instructed Saito Asanobu: "Mamoru Shimono will also take his team to follow Her Royal Highness the princess into battle!" Don't seek to capture Daxiong Chaoxiu alive, as long as you can repel the rebels in Vietnam! ”
"Got it, got it." Saito Asanobu stood up and walked out slowly, shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "Isn't it just a big bear asanoshi?" Leave it to me. ”
Nagao Toranohime came to the castle tower wearing his father's big armor, his brother seemed to have just fallen asleep, and the room was lit with calming sandalwood, and Nagata Tokumoto was sitting in the room meditating on meditation, he was a member of the Rinzai sect like Qu Naase Michizo, and Nagao Keitora slept quietly in the sound of the scriptures being read softly.
The girl standing outside the door looked at the silence and peace in the room, and Mori Kotose came over to her and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
"No need. I'm leaving. The girl quietly turned her face sideways, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and quietly left, and then the long-tailed Jinghu suddenly opened her eyes. The bright eyes stared at the back of the fading outside, and then slowly closed it.
……
Takigawa Shiyi held the reins in one hand, and held the Zhu spear in the other hand, and his feet suddenly slammed into the soft belly of the mount, and the war horse suddenly accelerated and galloped wildly under the pain, and the Ashikaga two leading two flags behind him were hunting in the wind, and a thousand red cavalry were like a surging tide, and on the other side, two hundred long-tailed cavalry with a nine-day horse seal on their backs also rushed down the mountain, and at the intersection of the two cavalry were the eight hundred Ashina troops.
"Oops!" Oda Kirizun Shichiro's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered Ashigaru to reorganize the team, one hundred and fifty cavalry samurai were divided into left and right to protect the left and right wings, and fifty archers and arrows Ashigaru bent their bows to shoot the first round of arrows in the urging, and the arrows that happened to be downwind were blown far away by the mountain wind in the Hokuriku wilderness, but this did not cause any trouble to the Kira army.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" is still the sound of arrows colliding with iron armor, and if you look closely, you will find that the foot they are wearing is completely different from the original equipment, which is the foot of the world after the surface of the thin iron plate is carburized once.
This is a new process that Hans strongly demands, no matter how brave the samurai is, it is absolutely impossible to do without a piece of armor with excellent defense, even if it can't be a full-body plate armor like Milan armor, it also needs to be equipped with the best iron armor to protect it, so there is this new barrel-shaped Nanban carcass, that is, it became popular after more than ten or twenty years.
"Why can't you hurt them! Keep cumming for me! Shoot the horse! Oda Kiri Sun Shichiro was anxious, and scolded secretly: "Where did this cavalry come out, with the banner of the shogun's family and not afraid of bows and arrows, is it a demon?" ”
At this time, the dense charge formation suddenly dispersed after a whistle, and a thousand horsemen scattered into dozens of fragmented combinations to bypass the front of the Ashina army, moving in two directions to the left and right, and some of the cavalry were able to let go of the reins and bend the bow and release the arrows, which is the archery that the legendary samurai only have, and only in the past at the festival of the gods and Buddhas, you can see some samurai wearing traditional costumes to perform rituals such as flowing horses and dogs chasing things.
The Kamakura samurai, who had only remained in legends and memories, appeared in front of them again, wearing gorgeous pockets, blood-colored armor, and ghost masks, without roaring or scolding, quiet as a mountain forest, but giving people a burning feeling of heat waves.
Cold arrows flew out of nowhere to take the lives of the samurai, but the cavalry on the opposite side continued to gallop around as if they had shot an inconspicuous prey, and no one roared to do hand-to-hand combat, and no one tried to cut off the heads of the dead, as if all this was routine training, they were just a group of cold targets, and they only needed to shoot the arrows in the empty pot to know how well they were doing.
This cold-as-ice-cold and ferocious attack tactic chilled the Ashina army, and not only the samurai were afraid, but even their mounts were quietly retreating.
"Don't be stunned, rush me! Can't let them like that. "Oda Kiri Sun Shichiro really can't understand who this is, but he can't just retreat, now there are only four ways to turn around and escape, and it is impossible for two legs to run faster than four legs.
"Fight!" In a desperate situation, the samurai of the Ashina family also aroused ferocity, several samurai roared and rode their horses to charge, and then successively more than a hundred horsemen pounced on the nearest red cavalry in several directions, their mounts were far inferior to the Kira army, not to mention that they could not cut this armor even if they chased after them.
The Chibei cavalry, who had been following the circle and playing soy sauce, were excited at this time, and they didn't know how to use arrows and arrows, and they were embarrassed to say anything about hitting goats and wild deer with iron cannons, only the big guns and scimitars in their hands were the best means to harvest the enemy, and if it weren't for Kirayoshi's strict order not to be damaged in battle, they would have rushed over with a roar.
And at this time, a group of Ashina troops who didn't know whether they were alive or dead spontaneously rushed over, and it was not to blame them, five hundred Chibei turned their horses' heads at the same time, brandished the spear in their hands and rushed over, this time there was one more samurai with a vermilion spear, that is, the blood spear Kuro Nagasaka Nobumasa, this gentleman finally became a qualified cavalryman after more than a year of hard training.
The two samurai armed with blood spears turned into blood Shura in hell, and the Ashina samurai who fought with Takigawa Tokiyoshi was named Hayakawa Saburo, a young samurai known as the Aizu warrior, but in the face of the terrifying momentum, he was still so shocked that he forgot to roar, summoned up the little courage he left, and waved the spear in his hand to meet him.
"Mother! Please bless me! ”
At the moment when the two were about to collide, Hayakawa Saburo only noticed a flash of blood light in front of him, as if the surging blood-colored tide was coming, and the familiar bloody breath aroused an ominous premonition, and then the whole person flew up lightly as soon as his neck hurt, and then he saw the frightened eyes of his companions gradually losing consciousness.
The blood-colored spear was splashed with blood, and the nameless samurai who stood in the way was killed by him with one shot, Takigawa Shiyi kept urging the horse forward, there was no need for a samurai of this level to shout at all, and he was not interested in harvesting the head, in the samurai culture of the Kira family, harvesting the head was something that only low-level samurai and ashigaru had to do, they just needed to keep waving the big body gun in their hands to kill the enemy, no one dared to lie about the head, and no one dared to take advantage of their merits.
At the same time, Nagasaka Nobumasa, Shima Tokikatsu and others also got off to a good start, and the samurai on horseback of the Ashina family were killed without even reacting, and the rest of the people began to flee in all directions, they regretted why they didn't get off their horses and fight on foot, and maybe they could avoid this fatal attack with their flexible dodge, but it was too late to say anything more.
The six hundred cavalry who attacked at the same time with him pounced like a wolf and a tiger, and this one hundred and fifty cavalry was not enough at all, seeing Takigawa Shiyi, Shima Shikatsu and others shooting left and right with bows and killings, these samurai who had accumulated a year's fire and energy were slammed with guns, it was a game of fast hands and slow hands, and when they came late, they could only watch their friends show off their achievements.
"Don't run! No one is allowed to escape! Oda Kirison Shichiro shouted eagerly, trying to muster up the few courage left, and the two hundred cavalry of Echigo, who did not know how to go around in circles, crashed directly into the infantry formation from the flanks and launched an asymmetrical slaughter.
In the distance, a strangely shaped samurai with a terrifying height, wearing a black cross robe on a white background, holding a knight's fan shield with a white cross on a black background, holding a black cavalry spear, with a strange large winged helmet on his head, and the mount under him was a Trekna horse also wearing a chain mail coat and more than a horse's head higher than their Michinoku horse, like a still statue, watching every move on the battlefield.
I don't know if it was a dizziness or something, Oda Kiri Sun Shichiro shouted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "That person is the commander!" Kill him and we will be saved! (To be continued......)
