With the popularization of hydraulic forging hammers, not only the iron forging industry ushered in a new round of industrial innovation, but also made the speed of ordnance manufacturing increase at a geometric speed, the armor craftsmen of the Kira family can create a more durable and durable barrel standing when the world is sufficient, eliminating many traditional process steps, but also in the mold to forge the required parts at will, different specifications of the standard of noodles, throat chakra, hand armor to be realized, the manufacturing cycle from half a month to an average of more than a dozen sets.

The cost of making armor weapons is much cheaper than before, and all that is consumed is Izumo's iron ore, and the contract signed between the Kira family and the Niko family includes the maintenance of Izumo's sufficient supply of iron ore, and the copper coins and rice grains that the Kira family can give are also very favorable, and this trade has become the only economic pillar of the Niko family today.

Without the support of resources, there is no strength of the Kira army, and Kaga has always been able to crush the number of troops with an astonishing number of troops, but it is difficult to hurt half a point of the Kira army's cavalry team.

There are only three thousand four-legged running horseback teams in the nine thousand vanguard army, and the rest are all two-legged running ashigaru teams, and the three generals received the general order to let Numata Yumitsu lead Ashigaru to fight before they were promoted, and the three of them were also happy to throw the ashigaru who dragged his slow legs to Numata Yumitsu, everyone understood that this was the training that Yamamoto Tokiyuki gave him as a closed disciple, and this was the semi-retired Yamamoto Tokiyuki cultivating the heir, and no one would not sell this face at this juncture.

Numata Yumitsu ordered the Ashigaru team to form a square circle to bear the offensive pressure, and behind him was an army of 20,000 troops that had all landed under the full force of the Kira Naval Army, and Uesugi Masatora left Shoshi Castle, Kazaka Chomi, Yoshie Sonobu and others to lead 10,000 troops scattered in Ishikawa County and Hebei County to stay behind, and he took the 20,000 troops of Kakizaki Keike and Saito Asanobu to kill Tetorigawa.

The time left for Wakabayashi Nagato to guard was only a short half hour, but it was impossible for him to knock on the hard carapace of Numata Yumitsu with 10,000 troops. Even the quality of the six thousand Koshishikashigaru led by Yumitsu Numata. It is not as good as the battle-hardened standing army of Echigo itself. But it's not something that Kaga has always been able to break easily.

If you can't knock it off, you have to borrow the strength of friendly forces, and the general Xiguang Temple Shinkyo immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to press on Numata Yumitsu with all his strength, and 40,000 troops overwhelmingly killed the Ashigaru team with only 6,000 people, under the premise of lack of castle support, it is almost impossible to resist such a powerful attack, and Numata Yumitsu's unified army level is not enough to deal with such a large battle.

He could only use the gun array to divide the military into several closely connected small groups, and then fight and retreat to gain more room to pull, Kaga has never seen a gun tactic. The ignorant ground attendants led their own peasant soldiers to rush forward, but they didn't last long before they were thrown away by the staggered attack like a sea tide in the gun array, and they were a little confused about changing tactics at once.

"Attack the flanks! Samurai on horseback attack flanks! Wrong wrong! The samurai on horseback are back! The Black Dragoons have come by storm! Echigo, where did you get so many black dragoons, didn't you say that there were only five thousand? "The true sect of Xiguang Temple jumped to his feet in a hurry, but these stupid ground servants made repeated mistakes, let them enter they just don't advance, let them retreat and don't retreat, like a group of old men who are slow for a long time before slowly executing the order.

There is not a single soldier here who is assigned to his own army, and he is temporarily transferred to serve as a temporary commander, if it weren't for the fact that Kaga Kunitaka has always been too busy. There was no such thing as him becoming a general at all, and he was originally confident to take over as the general of the provisional army. But when he came here, he realized that he was very wrong.

The elite of Kaga took two points from the Sichuan, and the essence of Enuma County and Nomi County in the south of the river attacked the Asakura family on the front line of Echizen all the year round, and the essence of Ishikawa County and Hebei County was buried in Echichu, and now this 60,000-strong army is actually the defeated remnants of the two northern counties that have fled, and the remnants of the southern two counties are excluded from the main force, and the relatively unfashionable combination of military forces.

The quality of these troops itself is not very strong, and the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao is only a general with 5,000 generals, and he doesn't know how to fight the joint battle of the 60,000 army, and the command is overstretched, and the 40,000 army has no way to take the 6,000 army is simply a joke, and the 3,000 cavalry team that does not go away from the hidden danger is constantly harassing the flanks, and if he is not careful, he will be bitten off a piece, and the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao regrets taking over the duties and powers of the general with some regrets.

On the surface, the 6,000 army led by Numata Yumitsu blocked more than 40,000 troops, and the war seemed to be very powerful, in fact, he himself knew very well that he was very weak, if the general on the opposite side was ruthless and the whole army attacked, his rough gun tactics of not a few months would soon be punctured, and these 6,000 ashigaru were just bluffing, and they were not really proficient in guns, otherwise they would not only repel the attack of the army, but should be easily killed.

He didn't dare to stop and hold on to the army, but slowly retreated back in a neat formation, he didn't dare to make a reasonable posture, and he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Kaga had always been a army and gradually distanced himself when he didn't find himself very weak, his approach was understandable, even if it wasn't false, he couldn't let the six thousand go to the 40,000, this was not the broken rear army when he fled, and he didn't need Numata Yumitsu to die with the strength of the six thousand army.

The defense of the main formation where the Xiguang Temple True Sect is located is very perfect, Honjo Fanchang tried to assault several times and was obstructed by the vast number of grabbing the foot, the three generals of the three cavalry scattered to look for opportunities, and when they encountered an opportunity to start, they quickly gathered and killed in one go, and then withdrew immediately after a while, this kind of rogue tactics is really difficult to deal with, especially when the opponent's army is large and the number of elites is relatively scarce, it is a special headache.

Kaga has always dared not to adjust the military situation indiscriminately, and he was unwilling to let Numata Yumitsu retreat all the way, gritting his teeth and following Numata Yumitsu's pace to continue the pursuit for a while, the Xiguang Temple True Sect found that something was wrong, and secretly pondered: "What does Kira Jun mean by this?" It's useless to fight like this! Wrong! It is said that the Kira army had 30,000 troops to kill in Kaga, and the army here was at most 10,000 people, so where did the rest of the people go? Suppressing the two northern counties has always been a one-of-a-kind? Seems so, yes! But why does the poor monk always feel that there is something wrong? ”

After chasing for a while, this ominous premonition made him a little unable to sit still, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and the whole army turned around and withdrew to Xun Shengqi to stand by, on the grounds that the enemy's intentions were unclear and uncertain, so he withdrew first and waited for the opportunity to see, his idea was not wrong and there was no problem with the order, but the officials were a little unhappy.

The officials who fled from Ishikawa County and Hebei County all treated the 6,000 Kira army with a desire for revenge, eager to eat this piece of fat immediately and then turn around and swallow the annoying 3,000 cavalry team.

In short, from Wakabayashi Nagato to the ground attendants and believers below, they were not very happy to turn back the whole army, and they were in a stalemate for a long time, neither advancing nor retreating, so they made a fuss, and the true sect of Xiguang Temple shouted orders and took out the warrant of Chaosheng Temple to threaten them, and only then did they move these unwilling officials, and the rear of the army turned into a retreat with a sluggish future.

His retreat made Numata Yumitsu both relieved and a little disappointed, and after retreating for a while, he should arrive at the riverside of the Tetori River, at this time, the army should almost cross the river It is a good time to break through it in one fell swoop, and after thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said: "This is just right, let them retreat slowly, Ben will harass behind them, maybe the speed will be slower, this is also a good time." ”

The 6,000 troops immediately stopped retreating, and after a little regrouping, Numata Yumitsu sent an envoy to the bank of the Tetori River to pass the information, and then regrouped and killed the retreating Kaga Ichijo army, coincidentally, these officials were not willing to retreat, and saw that Numata Yumitsu did not flee but killed back, and there was a reason to refuse to retreat, so Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru turned around with 10,000 troops and turned back against Numata Yumitsu.

Honjo Honjo and Hojo Takahiro and Kurokawa Kiyomi combined, and 3,000 cavalry and a group of horses were killed again to join in the fun, and the battle between the two sides did not last long, and a rumbling sound of iron hooves was heard, and Kaga immediately understood that all these actions of the other party were just to buy time and wait for the arrival of the main force.

At this time, the officials remembered the existence of such a general general, so they ran to the side of the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao for help, and he was angry and scolded: "If you retreat, you will not retreat!" The main force of the Kira army is coming, how can we withdraw! ”

"So what are we going to do?"

The head of the Xiguang Temple True Sect was still very sober, and he immediately said, "Retreat!" There is no way but to retreat! It's too late to go back and make the whole team back! ”

So there is a set of strange phenomena on the battlefield, Kaga has always been a nearly 60,000 army by 6,000 ashigaru and 3,000 horsemen, Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru was honorably awarded the important task of breaking off because of the active attack, Xikoji Shinkyo will not care if he can block the iron hooves of the Kira army, his purpose is only to escape back to the Shosheng Valley.

The local officials looked back and saw that the legs of the black pressed Echigo cavalry were weak, and some smart guys saw that the situation was not good, and they ran faster and faster, and even ran desperately towards their allies, and just now they were shouting to annihilate the Kira army to take merit, and this time it became faster than anyone else, and the thoughts of the officials such as Wakabayashi Nagato Mamoru, Hayayaya Gozaemon, and Takabishi Ishimi Mamoru continued to fight, because their home city was on the north bank of the Tetori River, and if they withdrew at this time, there would be no place to go.

Just when Kaga's always stubborn officials felt entangled, the main force of the Kira Legion had quietly arrived. (To be continued......)
