Shiga Bei's two hundred horseback warriors were furious, brandishing the spears in their hands and colliding with Naito Sokatsu's horseback warriors, this kind of unfancy collision was naturally Shiga Bei took some advantage, but this advantage was very weak, and under the absolute disadvantage in numbers, it was not even possible to exchange one.

Naito Sokatsu didn't even blink an eye to kill the samurai who rushed to the front, looking at the samurai with the four-eyed flag mark, he knew that this was a samurai from the Omi Sasaki family, judging from the sophistication of the armor, he was still a high-level samurai at the level of a horse general, but unfortunately he pierced the throat chakra that protected the neck with a shot, and it was obviously impossible to live if half of the neck was cut off.

"Keep rushing!" Naito Sokatsu shouted loudly and continued to ride his horse to assault, the mounted samurai behind him had been reduced by more than a hundred horses, most of these samurai died in the cavalry hedge, some of them stabbed each other in the chest with their spears, and they fell down together and were trampled into flesh by their companions behind, and some were lucky to survive the cavalry hedge, but there was a missing important limb on their arms or thighs, or they stubbornly chased after the large group of men and horses with a wound on their abdomen.

On the battlefield, there is a lack of time and conditions to receive medical treatment, and there is no effort to even bandage it, so they can only let the broken arm or small retreat flow blood, so these people usually do not live long, and may fall off the horse in the next moment, and never get up again.

"Don't panic, get together! Think about our training steps, put up the shield, and don't let the cavalry easily assault! Yamazaki Ieyi shouted hurriedly, watching his former robes fall one by one, and his heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of sharp swords. It was completely surprising that Naito had such a strong samurai on horseback. The ashigaru people of Shiga are busy beheading and fighting for merit. He didn't realize that his formation had completely collapsed, which was a command error.

In fact, the Kira family had already issued an order strictly prohibiting beheading, and all the beheadings were calculated uniformly, and the merits were converted according to the performance of their respective reserves in the war, but the Ashigaru people from Omi were far from having a deep impression of this paper order, and still maintained the customary rules, and the beheading was wrapped with the flag finger behind the head, and if it was a horse, the head was wrapped with the mother's clothes behind it. The general wrapped the head with a flag seal to judge everyone's merit record.

This time, because of the advance of Shiga Bei's light soldiers, he was caught off guard by the Naito army that then counterattacked, and when Yamazaki Ieyi gathered the remnants, he found that Shiga Bei only had only 500 people left, and only 200 archers and arrows Ashigaru could not keep up to escape, Shiga Bei's guns, shields, ashigaru and cavalry team killed a total of 800 people, and all 200 horseback team were killed, of which more than 60% were killed in Naito Munekatsu's cavalry assault.

Yamazaki Ieyoshi was lucky, as he didn't fight on horseback as an ashigaru general. Instead, Ashigaru who followed the foot battle relied on two legs to walk, but after escaping. They also have to face even greater trouble, and the follow-up ashigaru reserves of the Naito Army have arrived one after another, that is 2,500 elite ashigaru, and with their more than 500 guns and shields, they can only rely on the prototype formation to block for a while.

When Shiga Bei was attacked by surprise, Kira Yoshitoki ordered with great anger: "The Javelins are out of battle!" The archers went out and shot the Naito Army's cavalry to death! ”

"Wait! Owner, please look over there! Yamamoto Tokiyuki pointed to the Chibei cavalry who came in the distance, and praised: "This must be the idea of Sherakusadori." ”

Naito Munekatsu led the mounted samurai to break through Shiga Bei, and continued to attack Otsubei who was gradually approaching, and wanted to repeat the old tricks again, but unfortunately Otsubei's gun and shield formation was neat and flawless, and both wings were protected by horse samurai at the same time, and two hundred bows and arrows fell from Shiga Bei gathered behind him, making the long-range troops double to four hundred.

The firepower of the four hundred people is absolutely strong, especially in the face of the Naito family's horseback team fifty meters away, the accuracy of aiming and shooting at this distance is very high, and it is also the best killing distance for heavy arrows. ”

"Retreat!" Naito Sokatsu saw that the situation was not right, and immediately hit the horse back, and the horse warrior behind him followed to restrain the war horse, brandishing a spear to block the bow and arrows falling on the surface, but it was too late, and it was absolutely devastating to accept the attack of heavy arrows at close range, especially since their mounts were not armoured, and they would almost die if they fell on the body of the horse warrior and the horse.

Naito Munekatsu watched as several horse-riding samurai were shot into hedgehogs by dozens of heavy arrows in order to cover his retreat, one of them had at least five or six arrows on his head, and half of his skull was lifted off along with his helmet, spraying a bunch of terrible things that splashed on his armor.

"Retreat! Don't be in love! Retreat now! He didn't have time to panic, nor did he have time to regret, so he could only retreat back without his life, and at this time the cavalry of the Naito family had been reduced to two hundred and thirty horsemen, and this rain of arrows took more than a hundred lives.

"What's that?" While retreating, Naito Munekatsu suddenly saw a group of cavalry with bright red armor appear in his eyes, the group of cavalry was red as if it was like a fire, a raging rage, as if it was going to burn everything in the world, and the next moment he realized that there was a new trouble, "Not good!" They're going to cut off the way out! ”

One of the leading samurai could already be seen brandishing a big red spear rushing towards him, and Naito Sokatsu immediately made a decision: "Retreat at full speed!" Discard any extra weapons on your body! Retreat at full speed! ”

He threw away the big gun that Miyoshi Changqing gave him, and threw away the quiver that he bowed to, if it wasn't too late, he even wanted to throw away the helmet and armor together, but fortunately, dozens of mounted samurai volunteered to meet him, blocking the direction of the cavalry, and winning him a chance to escape.

The horseback samurai who rushed to the front of the Akabi Naka, and suddenly shouted: "I, Takigawa Tokiyi, want to kill Naito Sokatsu here!" Who dares to stop it! ”

After that, Takigawa Shiyi brandished the Zhu spear like a red giant snake, swept it violently as if the red wave was rolling, and in the blink of an eye, he killed two horseback warriors who were blocking the way, and the moment the people and horses staggered by, they shot again like a thunderbolt, stabbing the neck of the samurai who rushed with the spear, and the whole head was cut off, and when he staggered by, blood sprayed on Takigawa Shiyi's body like a fountain.

"Ghosts! Hell! "Naitokata's horseback warrior was really scared. This boy is a demon from hell. Nakshatra. Killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, which reminds them of the late Oni Shihe, could it be that the shogunate also produced a ghost general?

"Whoever descends will not die! Don't get in the way! Takigawa Shiyi shouted, and the horse that sat down suddenly exerted his strength, wielding a red spear like a blood snake that chooses people to devour, a horse warrior who swept and desperately blocked the way in front of him, cut his waist in half, and this shot even cut the gun with armor. It is not only with the help of horse power, but also with the terrifying strength.

This shot is more terrible than the one just now, the waist cut is a more brutal atrocity than the decapitation, even in the Middle Ages, Japan only forged a new sword for the Daimyo, and when the knife was tested, it would be slashed by a felon, Takigawa Tokiyoshi's shot slashed, and also cut off the last trace of morale of all Naito's cavalry, and no one dared to stop him, in the face of the fierce Red Cavalry, they dropped their weapons and held their hands high to show their obedience.

The Red Cavalry didn't pay any attention to these frightened guys, and they wanted to eliminate the culprit Naito Sokatsu as soon as possible. Shima Shikatsu rode a horse while bending his bow and shooting arrows. The difference is that the wandering horse shoots a fixed target, the dog chases the moving fighting dog, and the eagle hunts to shoot wild boars, wild deer, pheasants, hares and other animals in the forest.

Shima Shi Katsumoto is a highly talented archer, and at the same time very obsessed with strong bows, horses, famous guns and other objects, there is Kira family at the expense of training, his riding talent is also excavated, in less than two years of effort, his level directly surpassed the vast majority of horse samurai, become a first-class salvo master.

Shima Tokikatsu's style is different from Takigawa Tokiyoshi's enthusiasm, he always calmly bends the bow and buckles the arrows, each arrow can accurately take away a human life, two pots of cast iron feather arrows are hung on the saddle, and a bag of cast iron feather arrows is hung on the waist and back, and there are no less than eighty arrows on his body, which is simply a ruthless killing machine.

"Good fellows! These two boys are so powerful! Isshiki laughed loudly, and encouraged the Chibei cavalry behind him: "The battle record of Shima Shisheng has reached twenty-eight, surpassing the twenty-six people of Takigawa Shiyi!" If we don't catch up, we'll go back empty-handed! ”

"Rush over! Kill Naito Sokatsu! ”

"Don't any of you try to rob me! Sokatsu Naito's head is mine! Takigawa Shiyi's ears are very smart, and he can still hear the conversation behind him when he pulls away thirty meters, and his statement is naturally ignored by the red cavalry, joking about how the credit for killing the general can be swallowed by you alone, naturally everyone wants to share it together.

Shirakuzatsu called by name: "Naito Sokatsu is going to flee back to the Ashigaru Formation!" Can't let him escape! Nearby! ”

"You can't rob me!" Takigawa Shiyi shouted anxiously.

Sheraku Sadato scolded with a straight face: "Keijiro! Now is not the time to fight for credit! Shoot him quickly! ”

"Hmm!" Shima Shikatsu snorted lightly, calmly pulled out the feather arrow and pulled the bowstring, a galloping black light flew away from the bowstring in the blink of an eye, the square bamboo bow made by the Ogasawara family had an incomparably powerful attack power, and the feather arrow from the string pierced Naito's shoulder with strong power, making him fall off the horse.

"Haha! The head is mine! Takigawa Tokiyi made a simple grimace at Shima Tokikatsu and rushed over with a loud shout.

"Stop!" Several voices came at the same time, slowing down the pace of Takigawa Tokiyoshi's pursuit, in addition to Isshiki Naogaka behind him, Shiraku Sadatsu was shouting, and there were two voices from Watanabe Takatsuna and Naito Masanari, the two of them came from the main formation with the javelin team and the archery team, and saw Naito Sokatsu, who was hit by the arrow, shouted at the reckless Takigawa Tokiyoshi for the first time.

"Cut! No drama again! Takigawa Tokiyoshi looked at more than a hundred samurai on horseback, and surrounded Naito Munekatsu, who was injured and fell off the horse, with a nervous face, so he had to fight his horse boringly and return.

The five hundred cavalry were like thunder, and the cavalry spears in their hands were chopping and splitting the Naito army, and the Shiga Bei in the formation relied on the Fangyuan array to resist the attack of the Naito Ashigaru army, and when they saw the assault of the five hundred Chibei cavalry, they couldn't help but be demoralized and led the army to break through under the cover of the red bei.

At this time, the news of the retreat of the Tanba people came back one after another, and Takashima Bei, Kenda Bei, and Otsu Bei gathered thousands of troops like a huge iron tong to surround them, looking at the flag seals fluttering around Ashikaga two lead two flag seals, Naito Munekatsu, who had just been helped up, felt extremely desperate.

Surrounded by a bunch of cavalry in bright red armor, Kira Yoshitoki slowly walked to the front of the formation and shouted, "Naito Sokatsu! Immediately order your forces to give up resistance and surrender immediately! Do you want them all to be buried for you? ”

Naito Sokatsu pushed away the horse warrior who was holding him, staggered to the front of the formation, and shouted in front of the arrogant Kira Yoshishi who was standing on the horse: "Surrender! I'm dropping! ”

Funaokama Castle, Hosokawa Mototsune enthusiastically placed the wounded of the Kira army, and held a military council when he vacated Ohiroma to Kira Yoshishi, Hosokawa Mototsune himself was also an important minister of the shogunate who advocated friendship with the Kira family, and his adopted son Hosokawa Fujitaka served as the commissioner in the Kira family, and his status was not inferior to that of the deacon of the government, so he was warmly entertained, and the Kira family did not refuse to agree.

Yamamoto Tokiyuki took the latest statistics and said: "Takashima and Katata were slightly damaged, but Otsubei was not damaged, and the main loss in this battle was the eight hundred and three people killed in Shiga Bei, including four Ashigaru generals and one horse general, and more than half of the battle losses. ”

"This is really a calamity, and it is clear that it can be won steadily, so why do people always disobey orders? What's so good about decapitation? Is my post-war statistical system not perfect? Kira Yoshishi raised his horsewhip and whipped it on the desk unhappily, and the samurai in the hall could only laugh bitterly.

The beheading system of the Japanese Warring States is the same as the military merit system after the Shang Dynasty of the Great Qin Empire, hanging the head on the waist or tying it to the horse, and each head can be converted into a reward, which can indeed arouse the soldier's desire to fight, but it is only suitable for more primitive wars.

After the development of the Middle Ages, the militarization construction is getting faster and faster, the requirements for the combat quality of non-commissioned officers are becoming more and more stringent, and the steel-like discipline and the awareness of orders and prohibitions are gradually implemented to the end of the command.

To put it mildly, it will make the tight front uncoordinated, and to say bigger, drive others to follow and cut the head, which plays a leading role, and people have always retained something called "herd mentality", which probably means that others can do it, then I can too! It is inseparable from all kinds of uncivilized behaviors, which can be said to be the most "loved" existence of human beings. (To be continued......)

PS: For example, modern Japanese people are a group of social creatures with a strong herd mentality, others can do it, I can do it, and if someone takes the lead in running a red light, a group of people immediately follow the red light, which is probably the case. Huh? Anyway, I seem to have forgotten to ask for a subscription!
