Chapter 501: Decide to meet and end the battle
Under the command and command of Shiogetsugawa, eighty Teutonic warriors riding Shire horses dressed in chain mail and horse robes divided into three squads as fast as they could: those armed with ten-character guns and spears were at the front of the line, those armed with katanas, naginatas, and other non-long-handled cold weapons followed closely behind, and those Teutonic warriors with bows and quivers filled with arrows naturally dispersed to stay farther away on either side of the main team.

Although he did not have time to receive formal formation training and tactical training after being a Japanese samurai and becoming a Teutonic samurai, Shiozukigawa was also a former competent daimyo who had experienced several battles and won most of them (except for the last battle with the Teutonic camp, which was a bit of a perverted opponent, not to mention that he did not play cards according to common sense), and his sense of smell in combat was also very sensitive; , so as to strengthen my command ability for the eighty Teutonic warriors that I can only command at the moment, and how they can be more or less better than the previous combat effectiveness.
Facts have proved that Shiotsukikawa's shameless attitude of asking questions or humbly seeking advice has been rewarded with an equivalent reward: although the Yarman and other guards knights who are responsible for training them are a little unpleasant to these former prisoners of war, after all, they are now part of the Teutonic camp and belong to the general establishment of the Teutonic Knights, so Shioyuechuan has learned a lot about the formation arrangements and tactical applications commonly used by the regular hoplite cavalry units and hoplites in the Teutonic Knights, which can perform much better for the Teutonic samurai flag team he commands than the other Teutonic samurai flag teams that are still worrying about various physical training。
"I didn't expect that this knowledge, which is very basic for those non-human Teutonic knights, will actually be useful now......" While brandishing the katana held in his right hand and commanding the Teutonic warriors to form a suitable formation, Shiozukigawa quickly thought about something in his brain, "The other party actually has more than sixty heavy cavalry, and nearly fifty mounted heavy infantrymen...... There are more than twenty more than the Teutonic warriors I led, so I hope this battle can be resolved smoothly......"
For the enemy wandering rout army that was about to face each other and fight each other, Shionzukigawa honestly felt that there was an indescribable complex emotion in his heart - once the army he led himself was also in the same situation as the wandering rout army on the other side, and he had just come to Gensokyo, a completely strange place that subverted the previous common sense, and did not stay long before he met the heavily armed and calm and fierce Teutonic army, and the result he could choose was to be defeated and surrender and become a prisoner of war by luck in addition to fighting and dying...... He and his subordinates were fortunate to be the Teutonic warriors who were now loyal to von Rond and the Teutonic camp, and they barely got the approval of everyone in the Teutonic camp, but did the enemies who were about to face each other not have this choice?
This thought made him hesitate for a moment what he was doing, but soon, the cacophony of the Teutonic warriors lining up and the metal grinding of their swords or other weapons ready for battle made him sober up for a moment, and he no longer thought about what he had or didn't have.
The entire Teutonic Banner Force was waiting and carrying out his every order, and the upcoming encounter in the woods today would determine the future of this Teutonic Banner Band, and perhaps all the Teutonic warriors who had served their allegiance to von Rond and the Teutonic camp would have a glorious future or a bleak future, and he could no longer let himself continue to think wildly.
As a samurai, you can't think too much about unnecessary things, and if you think too much, you will hesitate to draw your sword, but the samurai's mission is to cut off everything that goes against morality and the will of the object of allegiance.
This was taught to him by his father, who had long since passed away, and now that he is a Teutonic warrior, he will continue to carry on the beliefs he has received since childhood, even if the day will come when his teachings will change as the years go by...... But that's also later, not now.
"I am a samurai, whether it is my previous allegiance to my father, to the people of the Dawn in the territory, or to the man named Von Longde and the Teutonic camp, it is ......" When the Teutonic warriors were all ready to attack, Shiogetsu Chuan secretly repeated these words in his heart, making himself determined not to hesitate in the coming battle, "I am not only responsible for the allegiance of Von Longde and the Teutonic camp, but also for all the subordinates who are still alive now......”

"Report the main ...... Captain, the enemy is about to enter our attack range!" Not long after Shiozukigawa commanded the Teutonic warriors to prepare for the attack, the Teutonic warrior who was in charge of monitoring the enemy's movements from a distance returned to report to him the enemy's latest movements, and it was obvious that the vast majority of Teutonic warriors had not completely changed their name for Shiogetsugawa, and it took them for a long time to realize that something was wrong and then change their words, which made Shiozukikawa feel a little numb.
"When the time comes, all of them will listen to my orders! Without my orders, you are not allowed to charge privately!" "Shioyuechuan raised the katana in his hand and shouted loudly, facing the situation that the enemy's heavy troops were also fully riding horses and the number was more than twenty of them, it was pure nonsense to say that he was not worried, but since he had already decided to face the battle, he couldn't retreat, otherwise let alone others, he himself looked down on himself who made that kind of cowardly decision, "Ready!"
Just as Shiozukigawa held his katana tightly and lined up at the front of the queue to give the order to charge at any time, all the Teutonic warriors who were ready for battle all felt trembling all over their bodies, and even the Shire horses under their crotches shook their huge bodies a few times, as if a cold wind was blowing past them, making the Teutonic warriors and the Shire horses under their crotch couldn't help but shudder.
"It's already late spring, how can there be a cold wind like a harsh winter......" Shio Yuechuan's cheeks twitched behind the ancient Chanel-style hoplite helmet, I don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that after being blown by this inexplicable cold wind, it seemed that even the speed of movement of people and horses had accelerated a lot: although he had received a period of harsh physical training, until now, Shio Yuechuan still had a slight mobility impairment when wearing this set of Teutonic Japanese chain mail on his body, and after being blown by the cold wind that made people shudder, Shi Yuechuan felt that the Teutonic Japanese wind chain mail on his body seemed to have reduced the sense of burden brought to him a lot, and he was more flexible in his activities。
Just when Shiozukigawa and all the Teutonic warriors were a little puzzled by this, the leader of the ten lich mages at the end of the formation said in a deep and ethereal voice unique to the deceased: "Don't worry, we have just blessed all of you with the Wind and Thunder Composite Magic [Wind Speed], which will be used to stimulate the potential of you and the war horses under your crotch and make your speed even faster for a period of time. ”
"Wind and Thunder Composite System...... Magic?" Shionzukigawa swallowed hard, although he didn't understand this somewhat technical term, but how could he hear that this magical supernatural ability had something to do with the wind and thunder, "No wonder I just felt a cold wind blowing, and it also made the hairs on my back explode......"
"Wind and Thunder Composite Magic [Wind Gallop] can only last less than ten minutes at the moment, Captain Shigetsu Banner, I hope you can lead these Teutonic warriors of yours to at least grasp the advantage during this time. The lich mage at the head did not react to the second half of Shiotsukikawa's somewhat self-deprecating words, but simply said this sentence as if he had done nothing in the first half of the fight with his fellow lich mages.
“...... Thank you, Lord Lich Mage. Realizing that he and the others had been blessed with magic and had increased their chances of victory, Shiotsukigawa thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and then focused his attention again.
Less than a minute later, deep in the forest ahead, there was the sound of horses' hooves crashing against the metal of the armor pieces rubbing against each other, as well as various noises in an unknown language.
Silently listening to the meaning of the noisy voices on the other side, Shiozukigawa silently raised the katana in his right hand, ready to make an attack signal: I don't know when it began, Shiozukigawa and all the Teutonic warriors were surprised to find that they and others could understand and speak other languages without a teacher, even if it was an unfamiliar language that they had never been exposed to before, as long as they were touched, they could use it as skillfully as their native language.
After the enemy heavy cavalry could be faintly seen in the gap between the trees in the forest in front of him, Shiogetsu River swung the katana in his right hand forward: "Teutonic warriors!!!
The !!!Teutonic warriors were armed with a variety of weapons, those with ten-character spears and spears at the front, those with naginata, taito, or katana followed them with naginata, taito, or katana, and those with bows scattered on both wings and rode the Shir horses at a rapid pace, ready to roam the outskirts of the enemy group, and smash their enemies with their bows and the cone-piercing arrows newly issued to them by the Teutonic camp.
At the moment when both sides could see each other, Shiogetsu River and all the Teutonic warriors let out a uniform roar that echoed through the forest for a long time:
"Honor のために (for glory)!"
☆
Twenty minutes later, the shouts of killing and the metal clashing of weapons in the depths of the forest were completely gone, replaced by the screams of wounded soldiers occasionally being stabbed in their throats, the tearing of flesh and blood as they pulled out of corpses and usable conical armor-piercing arrows from corpses, the cacophony of dragging corpses or weaponry, and the shouting of prisoners being escorted.
"Lord...... Captain, the samurai have begun to clean up the battlefield, and the lich mages have begun to dispose of the corpses. A Teutonic warrior covered in Teutonic chainmail walked up to Shiogetsukawa, who was sitting on the ground with his head bowed in contemplation, and awkwardly gave him a slightly deformed Teutonic salute: for these Teutonic warriors who had only just been trained in the Teutonic camp, many of them had not yet fully turned their habits, such as the question of addressing their superiors and saluting them, they belonged to this similar run-in period.
"What about our losses, and how many enemies have we killed and captured?" Shiotsukigawa waved his hand to show that he knew, to be honest, he was also a little uncomfortable with the Teutonic salute, but since he was going to live in the Teutonic camp from now on, he had to force himself to get used to it.
"Nine people were killed, eleven were lightly wounded, and eighteen were seriously wounded, and the number of casualties amounted to almost half of all of us...... Thankfully, the lich mages looked hard to talk and were scary, but they had already healed their injured brothers with that magical magic, and two of the two who had their arms cut off with an axe by the enemy were able to take their arms back with magic and heal their wounds, which is unbelievable......" The Teutonic warrior was a little excited when he reported the situation, although the casualty rate of this battle was almost an astonishing fifty percent, but with the help of the healing magic of the lich mages, he was forced back to about ten percent, he couldn't help but be so emotional, "As for our enemies...... The heavy cavalry and the great nobleman at the head were all killed, and more than forty other mounted heavy infantry were also killed, and only a dozen men surrendered with their weapons raised, and now they were making improvised flatbed wagons on the spot under the supervision of our brothers, so that we could bring back the booty, the corpses of the enemy, and the remains of our own wounded soldiers and brothers as quickly as possible—this forest was full of strange creatures and maximized common animals, which we had seen before. ”
"Are there nine more brothers leaving......" Shionzukigawa sighed slightly, although the samurai were also proud of dying on the battlefield, but in the face of the fact that the former subordinates who got along with each other day and night during the training had left a few more, he still felt a little lonely, "Let the brothers clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and escort the loot, prisoners of war, and the remains of our wounded brothers and brothers back to the Teutonic camp...... Fallen brothers....... I'll need to ask His Majesty the King for some information, so I'll leave their bodies in the custody of the Lich Mages for the time being, and don't bury them right away. ”
"Hey!" the Teutonic warrior nodded, and gave a Teutonic salute to Shiotsukigawa, this time more skillfully than the last. (To be continued.) )
