Chapter 55: The director of the Big Iron Stick Hospital
Gao Xianda knew that there were thousands of people inside, and although he was proud of his bravery, he didn't want to fight a thousand people alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even if he swung the knife and swung it a thousand times without stopping, it would tire him to death.
So Gao Xianda didn't get off the horse, after setting the fire, he turned around and ran, and even the wind speed dog drunk asked him back.
His horse was so fast that most of the ambushers in the woods didn't even notice his presence.
After going back and forth, the cavalry was ready for battle, and marched in the direction of the grove in orderly steps.
The ambush soldiers of the Oda family already knew that they had been discovered at this time, and they could not play the role of ambushes at all. Instead of being burned in the woods to a flower chicken, it is better to come out and run for your life.
But since they were burned out, then naturally there was no formation and morale. You rushed out for fear that you would be burned to death if you ran slowly.
The cavalry captain organized his men and went around the grove to hunt down the deserters.
Their horses are not fast, but they are much faster than they can run. Where can the soldiers who were confused by the fire dodge?
There are also conscious people who can stop and turn around to meet the enemy with bamboo guns, but after all, they are a minority. The infantry without formation was completely inferior when facing the cavalry, and there was no time to stab the enemy on the horse, and they were quickly stabbed to the ground by these cavalry teams one by one.
Soon the thousand volts were killed by Gao Xianda's cavalry, and some of the soldiers did not even escape from the burning woods.
When these cavalrymen saw that the battle had been won, their morale was naturally boosted. Some dismounted and cut off the heads of the enemy. These heads were all military exploits, and some of the cavalrymen had cut off five or six heads, hung around their waists, and had smiles on their faces.
while others search the crowd in search of the leading general. This team of 1,000 people can't all be peasants, there will always be a samurai class. If you can capture a katana or two, you'll be rich.
In addition to this, armor, bows and arrows are also good things. At worst, they were able to find some fresh rice balls on the enemy as food supplies.
At this time, the archers on the mountain had already discovered the situation below and knew that their ambush had been detected by the other party. The other party will not fall into their own traps.
They do not have an advantage in numbers, and if they hold on to the top of the mountain, they will soon be touched and killed by the enemy separately.
So the archers descended the mountain along the path, gathered together, and retreated into their bars.
This is the time that Coadhanda has been waiting for.
These archers are guarding the mountains, and it is really a trouble. Horses can't climb mountains, and even if they can climb some gentle slopes, it's hard to take advantage of their speed. But if these cavalrymen are allowed to dismount and walk up, the value of cavalry will not be reflected at all. After all, the other party still has a high degree of advantage.
These five hundred people are all trained riders, and if they are consumed as ordinary infantry, Gao Xianda himself will feel distressed, and Imagawa Yoshimoto will have to scold him for being a loser.
So what Gao Xianda wanted was for these archers to come down on their own.
He allowed the cavalry to clean up the battlefield to give the archers some time to descend the mountain.
"All on board!" Seeing that the archers had begun to descend the mountain, Gao Xianda shouted from the crowd, "Don't cut off the heads again!" We want victory! The enemy has not yet been annihilated, and it is not the time to relax! We are going to celebrate victory in the midst of the enemy today! ”
"Whoa!" The cavalry had actually searched almost enough, and they had all gained a lot, and it was the time when the momentum was high. When they heard Gao Xianda's words, they mounted their horses one after another and issued a slogan of victory.
"All the troops are attacking!" Gao Xianda shouted, and the leader rode out.
Naturally, those cavalrymen also followed Gao Xianda and began to charge.
Gao Xianda led the cavalry, while the enemy was the infantry. The speed of the cavalry far exceeded that of the infantry.
And those archers were led by different people, and there was no consensus of opinion. Seeing that the enemy was charging at them, some people thought that they should first retreat to the middle of the wall to defend, while others thought that they should fire a salvo of bows and arrows in place to slow down the opponent's attack and then retreat.
In fact, although they were still some distance away from them, the distance was still closer than that of Gao Xianda. If they retreat directly as soon as they get off the mountain, Gao Xianda will most likely not be able to catch up with them.
But as soon as they hesitated, they slowed down like this, and the formation was chaotic again, and Gao Xianda's cavalry team had already arrived.
"Assault, assault, assault!" Gao Xianda shouted, pulling out his new big killing weapon.
After repeated designs and demonstrations with Takeda Shintora and the blacksmith, the weapon was finally formed.
It was originally in the shape of an anchor, with a thick iron rod in the middle and a thick iron rod at the top. If you bend the ends of a thin iron rod backwards and sharpen it again, it becomes a standard anchor.
But on the battlefield, anchors are clearly of little use. The two backward inverted tips are obviously of little use.
So Takeda's suggestion is to bend the two spikes forward. Increases the ability to stab forward. But then the anchor is like a big fork.
However, Gao Xianda did not agree with this change, because the distance between the two tips of this fork was a little too large, and it looked like a blast fork of the Celestial Empire. Practical effects aside, it looks like a capital "cowardice".
In addition, if the fork head is separated, it will affect the effect of the stab, and the forward shift of the center of gravity will also affect the effect of the swing, and the entire weapon will be useless.
Gao Xianda thought that instead of bending the two thin iron rods forward, it would be better to simply cut them off, leaving only the big iron rod in the middle, which could be wielded flexibly.
However, Takeda Shintora believes that a simple iron rod cannot show the domineering of Gao Xianda, and the lethality may not be as good as that of a sharpened spear.
Since the big iron rod in the middle can be used directly, the two thin iron rods that have been cut off cannot be wasted, and they must be used well.
In the end, it was the blacksmith who got the idea. He had seen people put nails on wooden sticks and make them in the shape of maces, which was very lethal. So who said maces can't be made of pure iron?
Finally, the thin iron rod that stretched horizontally was cut into twenty-four short nails, sharpened to the tip, and then re-welded back to the large iron rod.
So the anchor in Gao Xianda's hand has now become a huge mace.
It is more than two meters long, weighs nearly two hundred catties, has a large head and a thin shaft, and is inlaid with twenty-four sharp short thorns. It can be held with both hands and one hand, and it is wielded with the amazing power of Gao Xianda, this thing has indeed become a big killer weapon for one person to block and kill.
Gao Xianda rushed into the group of archers with a cavalry team and directly launched a "horse assault". The mace in his hand flew up and down, and with each swing, it could bring up a puddle of flesh.
Soon the cavalry unit passed through the group of archers, blocking their way between them and the barricades.
"Kill the enemy! Don't let them run! Gao Xianda shouted.
