Chapter 348: The two armies face each other

On June 20, the tenth year of astronomy, the army of the young two families, which had been stagnant in place for nearly half a month, finally set off again!

During this period of time, the coalition forces can be said to have personally experienced the meticulous care of the Luo family. During the day, the team that went out to collect food was constantly attacked by the Luo family, and the camp was constantly harassed at night, although since the Luo family was attacked that night, the coalition army strengthened its defenses, but even if there was no damage, it was extremely annoying to be harassed by people all day long.

Coupled with the outbreak of internal strife within the coalition army, as well as the poisoning of some soldiers after eating the collected food, it can be said that everyone in the Shao Erjia coalition army is tense.

After leaving more than 200 poisoned soldiers in need of recuperation in their original camps, the army set out again. Fortunately, at this time, the armies of the Arima family, the Omura family, and the Saigo family also came to converge, and they barely managed to ensure that the number of the army reached 5,000.

And the side of Zhengliang also gathered an army of more than 1,500 people. This army of more than 1,500 people was 100 people in cloaks and 100 people in the low-level samurai team. These two teams are the most elite teams of the Luo family at present, and because of this, every time there is a big battle, they are also responsible for assaulting the enemy formation, so there are a lot of damages. It's just that after the war, according to military merit and martial bravery, personnel will be quickly transferred from each standing team to replenish, so as to ensure the full strength of the two teams.

In addition to the cape and samurai teams, there were 200 members of the 1st Standing Ashigaru Team led by Kane, 200 members of the 5th Standing Ashigaru Team led by Akuta, 100 members of the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Team led by Tomohisa Oishi, 100 members of the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team led by Shigemasa Yoshida, 100 members of the 4th Standing Ashigaru Team led by Kinoshita Masanao, and 50 cavalry led by Heihachi Miyazawa, for a total of 750 standing teams. As for Andrew's 30-man Iron Artillery Brigade, it was used as a reserve force, and it was necessary to participate in the war. Such a number of fires can actually play a very limited role on the frontal battlefield. The current role of this team is more to carry out sneak attacks. Throw the enemy into chaos.

In addition, there are thirty scouts who are responsible for detecting enemy movements, forty heralds who are responsible for delivering orders, and twenty Black Hawk ninja soldiers who are responsible for carrying out special missions.

As for the peasant soldiers, more than 700 peasant soldiers were mobilized. These peasants were all outstanding members of the village in their daily military training. The combat power is higher than that of ordinary peasant soldiers.

Except for the guards who maintain key positions throughout the territory. Masarashi has almost concentrated the strongest combat power in the territory. At present, the population of the territory is more than 70,000 people, of which the young and strong population is only more than 50,000 people, so Zhengliang's mobilization this time can be regarded as a desperate force. Of course, as Kyushu, which is already relatively poor. It is true that there are many local tyrants who are soldiers of the whole country. After all, war? It's really not a math game, and the lord won't slowly calculate how many people can be fed and how many soldiers can be mobilized. In an emergency, it is almost mandatory for the whole people to go to the battlefield. Of course, this will also cause instability in the morale of the military. There is even a danger of mutiny.

In terms of generals, in addition to the commanders of several standing teams, there are also military advisors Kakuma Ishimune and Shinnosuke Akabane. In addition, the people who are close to Zhengliang and the small surnames also follow the army.

This battle is likely to determine the trend before and after the fatten. Throughout the history of the Luo family, it seems that every important moment of development will encounter such a big battle. Masato sometimes wonders what is causing this situation? It was due to the rapid rise of the Luo family, which led to the fact that it was not fully expanded. Surrounded by powerful people who feel the danger around you? After all, this is not a game, it can be developed slowly, and the surrounding forces will be ignored. Masaro is now facing a living enemy! They also think, they anticipate, and they react immediately.

Let's take a look at Masahiro himself. What advantages does he have? It is nothing more than familiarity with the historical process, as well as some advanced concepts of later generations, and the last is the skill system that can only protect itself. No matter how hard Masato tries, he is still a pawn in the chessboard of history. As the so-called trapped in it, the authorities are fascinated.

In the face of all kinds of changes and opportunities that appear around us. The only thing he could do was to grab it and use it. At the beginning, he was in order to be able to survive in this era, and later, after the development of the Luo family, he had become a strong man who was not coveted by others, but now, he hopes to become a big name who controls the life and death of others.

As the saying goes, human desires are endless, and it is under this most primitive human reaction that Zhengliang has come to this point step by step.

Whether it's a chess piece in history, or your own desires, people! It is necessary to live in the present moment and strive for what can be fought for in the moment. Therefore, Masahiro is determined to bravely face everything in front of him. As the saying goes, when you are born to cry, after you die, there is a pile of loess. If you work hard, you will have no regrets.

In this era of Japan, the spirit of bushido prevailed, which also directly led to the fact that on the battlefield, more people like to face off against each other directly, and then fight it out. However, Masashi doesn't think so, in his opinion, no matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches a mouse, it's a good cat, so on the battlefield, as long as you can win, you can use any means.

Therefore, after leaving a hundred temporarily recruited peasant soldiers to guard Takeo Castle, Masara divided his army into several parts, and then engaged in guerrilla warfare, harassment warfare, and fatigue warfare against the Shao Erjia coalition army. As a result, the coalition army of the Shao Er family was sad, they obviously had not seen such tactics, they could only defend passively, and they sent the army to counterattack the harassing Luo family's team, and often at this time, the Luo family's team would slip away, making the pursuing people sulk.

Coupled with the various obstacles set up by the Luo family along the road, the coalition army of the Shao Er family was miserable, and their morale dropped again and again.

As a result, the most bizarre war scene in the history of the Warring States period appeared. The Luo family, which was obviously inferior in numbers, was like mosquitoes and kept biting around the elephant of the Shao Er Family Alliance. The elephant can only keep roaring, but there is nothing to be done. The march that could be completed in just over a dozen days took the army nearly a month.

However, no matter how long the road is, there will always be a time when it will come to an end, on June 28, the tenth year of astronomy. The army of the Luo family, which had no way to retreat, finally appeared in front of the coalition army of the Shao Er family. Seeing the army of the Luo family of more than 1,000 people in front of him, Shao Erdong Shang exhaled fiercely, and secretly regretted in his heart, knowing that Lu Dao had mobilized a little more soldiers at the beginning (with the current strength and appeal of the Shao Er family, it was also possible to mobilize tens of thousands of troops), and crushed it into the territory of the Luo family at one time. So you don't have to suffer like this. In the past month, despite all the precautions, he was bitten by mosquitoes from the wilderness and was covered with small wounds. It's really a sin. I was also full of hatred for the Luo family in my heart.

And in the coalition camp, who is also full of hatred for the Luo family, there is also Naohide Hirai of the Hirai family. He hated the Luo family for making so many storms. provoked Shao Erdongshang, a pig's brain. This time, in order to supply the allied army with food and grass and curry favor with Shao Erdongshang. He not only emptied the granary at home, but also contributed the food from his subordinates' homes, and even sent his wife to the tatami mats of Shao Er Dongshang. And it was the Luo family on the opposite side that caused all this. So. He hated it, and he couldn't wait to cramp and peel everyone in the Luo family to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"I am the general of the Luo family, Kinoshita Masanao, who dares to fight to the death with Zaixia?" Before the army of the Shao Er family could stand still, Kinoshita Masanao walked directly to the open space between the two armies and shouted. His participation in the battle was approved by Zhengliang.

"I am a god on behalf of the family. I'm here to fight you. Someone in the coalition immediately stepped forward. The person who came was none other than the fierce general of the Shendai family, Qianbu Zongli. In the past few days, he has been constantly harassed by the Luo family, and whenever he led the team to attack the other party, the other party dodged like a loach, which made Qianbu Zongli hold back the liver fire in his stomach. Now seeing that the "shrunken-headed turtle" of the Luo family was finally willing to show up, and there were still people challenging him, he immediately jumped out to fight.

Since it was a heads-up between two samurai, of course it was difficult for others to interfere, even if Zhengliang had the intention to arrange for someone to release cold arrows in an emergency, he would not dare. Because these Japanese samurai are so brainless, even if they shoot each other with cold arrows. The samurai on their own side will probably feel ashamed as well. This involves the question of the personal honor of the samurai.

As a result, the duel between the two evolved into a classic samurai duel scene.

First, each picked up a longbow of more than two meters on his horse, and then began to shoot at each other. Seeing such a scene, Masara secretly sweated for Kinoshita Masanao. Because Kinoshita's archery skills have never been very good, not to mention that he is still on the horse. Archery is even more difficult. Sure enough, the arrow shot by Kinoshita Masashi didn't reach the opponent's horse yet. But thankfully, Qianbu Zongli is obviously half a pound and eight taels with Kinoshita Masanao in archery. I didn't even reach each other.

After the archery was finished, the two raised their spears and rode their horses to fight. Two spears of different lengths staggered between the two horses. After attacking for a while. Obviously, seeing that they couldn't threaten each other, the two simply jumped off the ground and fought.

As soon as they returned to the ground, the difference in force between the two became apparent. Kinoshita Masanao's own strength is already good, especially his marksmanship, in the Luo family, except for Masaliang, his spear skills are the most powerful. He once defeated seven samurai in succession with a spear in the dojo of the Luo family, and even a fierce man like Akuta, if he hadn't used his terrifying mace, he would have to surrender under Kinoshita's spear.

And since joining the Luo family, Kinoshita Masanao has learned some marksmanship from Masayo, and his strength is even higher.

So, after only a few rounds of fighting, Qianbu Zongli was stabbed in the abdomen by Kinoshita Masanao and fell to the ground. Kinoshita Masanao will let go of such an opportunity, take out the wakicha and cut off the head of Chibu Zongli with a direct sword.

Seeing this scene, Luo's morale suddenly soared.
