Chapter 914: Pig-like teammates
In the mountain road, when Shiga Yoshikin, the deputy general of the Seventh Standing Brigade of the Luo family, took his last breath, Hishinori Shigetake, Kegain Shigemo, Kitahara Kanemori and others, who also led their respective family forces, gathered the allied soldiers in an attempt to forcibly attack the Shimazu family.
In the face of such a terrible situation, these people still continue to attack? Are they all real warriors? The answer, of course, is no. In fact, this is nothing more than their selfishness. In the past, they were beaten by the Shimazu family several times and lost their armor, but this time they finally saw that they were about to win, and they naturally would not let go of such an opportunity with a gambler's mentality (if Luo Shi Huiliang was here, after learning about these people's decisions, he would definitely remember the story of his father Masayo and the pig-like allies he described, and now they have really become allies like Luo's pigs).
It's just that the fantasies of Ryoshika Shigei, Keidain Shigechao, Kitahara Kanemori and others were soon completely shattered by more than 800 tongues of fire spewed out from the iron cannon array of the Shimazu family in the mountains on both sides of the mountain road. This time, Shimazu Yoshihisa divided the iron artillery team into three teams, each team took turns to shoot, constantly reloading ammunition, although due to coordination and lack of technology and other reasons, there was still a certain pause during this period, but the number of shots was significantly more.
In this time the Shimazu family's shooting, the first to bear the brunt was Hishigari Shigei. Many people around Ryokari found that in the midst of the smoke, the shadow of Ryokari was soon invisible, and his original loud shouting and attacking voice disappeared. As he had a hunch, with his fantasy of defeating the Shimazu family, Hishigari Shigemo was shot in several places all over his body, especially his face was directly concentrated. Eventually, he collapsed on the mountain road. And the men and horses brought by Ryokari left behind a hill of corpses in the mountain road. When he smashed and found that Ryokari fell to death, he also began to rout. Less than 10 percent survived.
The sun has risen, and the green hills, blue skies, forests, and flags are clearly visible.
Even if Ryokari was killed, due to the delay caused by the iron cannon powder everywhere, the rest of the Luo family's coalition forces did not know the situation, so the rest of the coalition forces still obeyed the order and rushed towards the Shimazu family's rout, which was already close to the main force of the Shimazu family at this time.
"Rush!"
With an order from the Prayer Temple, the Prayer House Rush out first. After that, Kitahara Kanemori and others also shouted and rushed away. In the sound of the iron cannon of "tom tom", there were bursts of shouts of killing from time to time. Actually, these people are not stupid. After all, as long as they mix with the Shimazu family's rout in front of them and fight fiercely, the Shimazu family's iron artillery on both sides of the mountain road will naturally not dare to attack at will, so that they will be safer, and they will not become the target of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team like Fang Cai. And as long as they can hold on, when Luo Zhi Huiliang and the others in the rear coalition camp learn about the situation here, they will definitely send people to support, and it is not known who will kill the deer at that time.
It's just that the people of the Prayer Temple, Kitahara Kanemori and others are too inexperienced in fighting against the iron artillery team, and under such a number of iron cannon attacks. How long will they be able to hold out?
So, in the blink of an eye. The smoke of iron cannon gunpowder once again enveloped all around.
After seeing that the Luo family coalition army was still planning to continue to pursue the rout of the family at this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa directly released a bold statement: Fighting these Luo family coalition forces is as easy as playing sparrows. Sure enough, it's true. In the blink of an eye, more than 800 muskets knocked down most of the troops of the Luo family's coalition forces, and on the side of the routed soldiers who were originally pursued by the Shimazu family, except for a few unlucky ghosts who fell and were bruised while escaping, there were no casualties.
"Withdraw!"
Kitahara Kanemori had a frightened expression on his face at this time, and he also found that the prayer temple that had been rushing in front of him had also been hit and killed this time, so he immediately turned around and ran back. Seeing this, the other coalition soldiers immediately followed the Kitahara and fled.
At this time, the victory or defeat is already self-evident, but how willing is the Shimazu family to let go of such an opportunity? At this time, on the top of a nearby mountain forest, Shimazu Yoshihisa of course saw the situation of the Luo family's coalition army.
From the time when the Luo family used a surprise attack to defeat the coalition forces of the Da Nei family and the Otomo family, he realized that the previous situation of informing each other's names when they were fighting, and then catching each other and fighting was no longer there, and since the rise of the Luo family, the battle has completely evolved into a fierce confrontation between groups. Today, the Shimazu family was finally able to meet the Luo family, who were the first to create this new way of warfare, and the Shimazu family, as an apprentice, actually won, so let's make the victory even greater. Thinking of this, Shimazu Yoshihisa immediately ordered when the pursuers of the Luo family's coalition began to retreat:
"Attack!"
"Rush!"
After receiving the order, according to Shimazu Yoshihisa's previous arrangement, the first to attack was the cavalry of the Shimazu family, led by Shimazu Yoshihisa's third brother Shimazu Suihisa. He looked stern at this time, and after a loud shout, he had already urged the horse to rush out.
At the same time, in the camp of the Shimazu family, the war drums beat and the horn sounded, and the 1,000 cavalry of the Shimazu family rushed like waves towards the retreating Luo family coalition soldiers in pursuit.
Immediately afterwards, 3,000 people led by Yingwa Kuhu and Uehara Naokin. and 2,000 men led by the brothers Sinna Chung-won and Shinna Chung-yao. These teams began to attack one after another under the leadership of their own generals. Even the soldiers of the vanguard who had fled from the wolf after being pursued joined the pursuit.
The retreating soldiers of the Luo family coalition were quickly caught up by the cavalry of the Shimazu family, but the mountain road was relatively narrow, which was actually not conducive to the full play of the cavalry, so the two sides fought in the mountain road instead. At this time, Kitahara Kanemori on the coalition side was also caught up by Shimazu Suijiu. The two immediately fought against each other.
Kitahara Kanemori gritted his teeth at this time, although he didn't know who the young man in front of him who jumped off the war horse in order to facilitate the battle was, but judging from the clothes of this young man, he must be an important person in the Shimazu family, and the Kitahara family was almost ruined by the Shimazu family, he naturally hated anyone from the Shimazu family, so he immediately smiled and said: "There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you come by yourself!" Come on, boy, I'll show you how powerful I'm Yuzaburo Kitahara, and I'll cut off your head with my own hands. ”
Immediately, Kitahara Kanemori roared, threw away the spear in his hand suddenly, and quickly rushed towards Shimazu Suijiu, "Although I, Kitahara Kanemori, have the title of the second spear in Kitasatsuma. But who knows that the sword skills under him will be even better, come on, and suffer death. He jerked out his proud knife from his back and rushed towards Shimazu without fear, "I'm the best swordsman." Come on! ”
Seeing Kitahara Kanemoru's crazy appearance, some of the guards around Shimazu Suijiu quickly threw away the coalition soldiers who were fighting, and hurriedly approached Shimazu Suijiu. If because of a momentary negligence, the madman in front of them hurts the third young master of their own family, then they will suffer.
Just as everyone came to Shimazu Suijiu to form a guard formation and prepare to meet the crazy Kitahara Kanehou, Shimazu Suijiu suddenly pushed away the crowd and said directly: "No need to do this, just let him let the horse come, and see how powerful this guy is!" ”
"Hehe, young people are really scared!"
Seeing that Shimazu had gathered a bunch of guards around him, Kitahara Kanemori already had the idea of escaping, but when he saw that the young man in front of him was going to duel with him alone, he laughed instead. Of course, this sentence also has the meaning of agitation, and the purpose is naturally to make the young man in front of him firmly decide to duel with him alone. At the same time, in order to prevent the opponent's subordinates from sneaking up, he immediately found a few subordinates to help.
"Phew!"
Shimazu didn't bother to quarrel with Kitahara Kanemori for a long time, so he stabbed him directly with one shot.
"It's more anxious than me. Drink, come on! ”
Kitahara Kanemori smiled dumbly, raised his sword, and forced a step forward. The spears and knives of both sides were immediately entangled, hitting each other, and it was difficult to separate for a while.
After a few rounds, they realized that they were all injured. Shimazu's left hand was shattered, and blood oozed; Kitahara Kanemori's right thigh was also injured. Both sides were sweating on their foreheads, but they still did not allow anyone to come to help in the battle. They shouted at their companions: "Don't make a move. ”
It only takes one more round to decide the winner. Shimazu never thought about his life or death. He had always believed that death was a distant thing. He relied on his youth and vigor to force him towards the northern plains. (To be continued......)
