The conch and the shouting of the conch continued to pass by Gao Shisheng's ears, and there were fluttering flags everywhere, and he stood in the middle of the flag team wearing big armor.

Aoki Daizen stood on his right side with his sword, and as the escort of the soldiers who fought under his command, it was necessary to ensure a wide field of vision, which would not be too obscured, and could easily use the sword to block the arrows of the enemy's light soldiers and bow samurai, while Nagata Mori, Hasegawa Hayato, Kitazhuang Manjiro and others were commanding their respective subordinates, and they seized the time to set up a good battle, which was often used to guard against and block the enemy's army.

On the other side of the river, the troops of Echigo and Hokushin were all in a loose formation according to the division of the people of their respective countries, and only the main flag was in an orderly manner, standing neatly under the banner and waiting for the military order to launch a surprise attack.

Because it was winter, the river was cold and biting, and the two sides did not need to worry that the other side would send troops to wade through the water to attack, and the entire battle was carried out around this not very wide wooden bridge.

The morning sun slowly rose, Gao Shisheng saw that the front was full of flags rustling in the wind, and the enemy troops on the other side shook out of the formation, "The king of heaven has made us stand alone, subdued the thieves of all countries, and everything we want will be fulfilled!" ”

With these high-pitched shouts, he gazed intently as the chariot envoy of yesterday abandoned his horse and marched, and with his sword in hand, he led the standing ashigaru in a curly belly and a hat on his head, and hurried across the wooden bridge towards the low slope.

The Echigo army chose the style of the old Kamakura Lang party, with samurai leading brave apprentices as the first soldiers, and in the second line were a large number of miscellaneous troops, with archers lining up along the river bank to cover and throw, and on the flanks were mounted samurai armed with spears and dainaginata, ready to launch a swift assault.

The advantage of this formation is that the front is narrow and the rear is wide, like an arrow, which is especially conducive to launching a surprise attack, as long as the forward opens the gap, the follow-up troops can rush up, constantly expanding the battle line, until the opponent is completely overwhelmed and strangled.

At this moment, the miscellaneous soldiers of the Imagawa army also lined up behind the wooden fence amid the shouts and scolding of their respective group leaders and soldiers, and the scythe spears poked out obliquely out of the wooden fence, preparing to engage the enemy.

The Echigo army was chosen to serve as the first of the enemy forces, and it was Ashigaru composed of four groups of Hida mountain people, who were actually only from the vicinity of Mt. Hida and Mount Myoko in the northeastern part of Shinano, and their armor was also mixed, ranging from the most common hats, to barrel-shaped hats, and even the terrifying-looking Oni forehead and face covered corner pockets, and the armor on their bodies was also mixed.

These impoverished mountain people, who had been recruited, brandished the spears, naginatas, swords, and swords of the past 'Fallen Warrior Hunter' and followed behind the chasuke warriors to fight bravely, facing the arrows thrown by the enemy formation, shouting, "King Bishamen, help my armor!" The proverb of Buddhism rushed to the wooden fence with indomitable progress.

The low hills are a natural place for infantry to play melee, and on the surface they look undulating, but in fact they are rugged and bumpy, and the hard stones hidden under the soft mud are not conducive to the galloping and roundabout battles of the samurai on horseback.

Therefore, even if the Echigo army had more than ten horses, they only crossed the river by means of a wooden bridge, and then slowly walked around, waiting for the foot soldiers to open the gap and drive the enemy out, and that was the best time for them to show their bravery.

In the sound of killing and smoke, Cao Gao Shisheng, a soldier standing under the banner, raised his arm, the sound of a conch sounded, and the sickle spear that was originally mounted on the wooden fence was quickly erected, forming a dense spear thrust, using the length advantage of the weapon in his hand to stop the enemy's charging momentum.

The iron gunners also finished loading the ammunition, lit the arque, and followed the light soldiers who stood on a high place to raise their unpainted white wooden bows again, and fired arrows and lead bullets that weakened the morale and life of the troops in front of the Echigo army that rushed towards the wooden fence.

These poor mountain people, who were accustomed to dying, were fearless, especially resolutely in the mountains of Kita-Shinano, and after many years of bloody battles with the Takeda army, they became more and more fierce.

They had never broken up in the face of the spears and horses whizzing past the Takeda cavalry, not to mention the weak arrows fired by the Tokaido miscellaneous soldiers, and many of the soldiers had their armor shaken with the arrows fired by the enemy, but they were still bravely trekking forward, advancing the wall step by step towards the low slope.

Whenever there was an advance, the entire army had to fight hard against the weapons, making an overwhelming ape cry, and even startling the cattle and horses on both sides to struggle and neigh.

On the other side of the river, the light soldiers with long arms and good shooting in the Echigo army opened their bows and released arrows, and the sharp arrows jumped over the river several zhang wide and fell directly to the high slope.

Gao Shisheng asked people to take the arrow that fell to the ground, this is a crude arrow, not even the tail feathers are installed, put it in the hand and turn it upside down, and it does not feel much weight, it is a crude bamboo arrow, the archer who uses this kind of arrow does not talk about archery, the longbow must be inferior.

Since he knew what he knew, he simply got up from the bed and looked at the other side, and then sparse arrows came, some near, some far, but most of them fell in the open space in front of the formation, and the few that could shoot into the camp were also hung on the wooden fence, and did not shoot a few soldiers, and did not pose much of a threat.

He couldn't let his soldiers see that his soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and the samurai kept hitting the miscellaneous soldiers who were obviously afraid of fear with the back of their swords, scolding the enemy and insulting their opponents to boost morale.

These mountain people were born in the ashigaru, experienced in battle, and were more adept at using the pendant and weapons to block the scythe spurs and whips, but they were forced to withstand the casualties, under the leadership of the car suspension samurai, they quickly broke through the first wooden fence and rushed to the front of the miscellaneous soldiers hiding in the rear.

The sickle soldiers in the front row, who had not yet retreated sharply, or abandoned their guns and drew their swords to defend themselves, and when the first one was slashed to the ground by the samurai's sword, he pulled out his ribs and threw it violently, and another knife hit the chest of another miscellaneous soldier.

Although the Echigo country's chasuke samurai was short in stature, he was skilled in martial arts, and he tiptoed a long-handled naginata knife that fell from his hand with his feet, and strode to the forefront, regardless of whether the enemy used a sword or a sickle, and no matter who resisted, he was really invincible for a while, and a samurai under the command of the Oi clan, who was brave and brave, danced a spear to stop, and the chariot samurai burst into a shout, avoiding the spear that stabbed him, and swung the wheel naginata, and immediately cut off half of the man's head.

Another samurai came to stop him, shouting, "Come, ······." ”

Before the words fell, the samurai had rushed to him, the naginata knife from the bottom to the top, the same beckoned to the head of the samurai who wanted to ask the name of the family, impartially pierced his mouth, the blade directly pierced the hood, pulled out the knife and flung it horizontally, and half of the head was also cut off, in a moment, even killing the two samurai on their own side, or the terrible way of death in public, the miscellaneous soldiers no longer had the intention of fighting, and those who stayed in the rear and did not directly engage the troops saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran.

"Steady! Steady! Seeing that the sickle miscellaneous soldiers at the front were unable to form an army, Ono Tadaaki, who commanded the short corps on the second line, hurriedly shouted and rescued, but another group of standing guards of the Echigo Army arrived like chopping melons and vegetables, and the newly arrived reinforcements wanted to wave their knives to fight, and the retreating miscellaneous soldiers wanted to retreat.

In the enemy formation on the south bank of the river, the enemy generals under the banner of the Heavenly King of Bishamen were obviously old in the ranks, and looked at the entire battlefield calmly, seeing that there was a chance to win.

Waved the sword in his hand again and again, made a few clean and neat chopping gestures at the trumpeter and the banner holder, and soon under the instruction of the horn of the conch, the soldiers of the brigade who remained in the rear and waited for the military order, including everyone in the banner team, held high all kinds of banners and flags, and pressed towards the entire low slope.

Seeing the enemy's bravery, he crushed his own soldiers in the blink of an eye, and protected the enemy troops who were charging behind them, showing signs of being captured. Gao Shisheng couldn't sit still any longer, and in order to prevent the enemy from killing his own miscellaneous soldiers, he scolded sharply and ordered his own team to go to the rescue.

Hayato Hayato and Manjiro Kitajo were ordered, and each summoned a dozen or so warlike Lang Dang and pounced downward.

'Bang dang', in the melee, an enemy soldier with the banner of 'Nan Mu Hachiman Great Bodhisattva', swung his knife and slashed, as a result, he slashed on the broken gold iron rod in both hands, and sparks splashed everywhere, but the broken gold iron rod did not move, and then swung hard, the samurai Hasegawa Hayato was swept to the ground, his chest was smashed into it, and blood was spurted from his mouth, and he couldn't live.

Lang Dang, who was following Hasegawa's search for someone, still refused to let go, hurriedly stepped forward, regardless of whether the other party was dead or not, grabbed the bun, and directly took a knife around his neck, cutting off the whole head.

Then, according to the name written on the Kasaki, he shouted in unison, "Echigo Hamo Saburo Hidetaka has been taken by our soldier Satou Hasegawa Hayato!" ”

Hasegawa Hayato originally also used a knife, just now in the battle, broke the blade, simply backhanded out the accustomed broken gold iron rod, relying on brute force, regardless of three, seven twenty-one, all the enemy troops that collided, all smashed indiscriminately, this is already the fourth named samurai head he killed, and he wanted to go to Sakujo City to join the army, but he still has some real skills.

The head of the soldier who commanded the front line of the Echigo Army was shocked and angry, "Where did you come from Satsuma Hayato!" Quickly bring someone forward and kill him! "I didn't choose to say anything, and I mistakenly pronounced Hasegawa as Satsuma, but it can't be said that it's wrong.,The name Hayato,Originally, it was a bear attack country that lived in Satsuma, Kyushu.。

The miscellaneous soldiers of the Imagawa Army were inspired to regain their morale, and some of the Hirayama townsmen who were familiar with Hasegawa Hayato cheered and shouted, calling out his name in the township, "Kuma Raid Taro!" Kuma raid Taro! ”

Seeing that Hasegawa Hayato relied on brute force, he successively sought four Fenggong samurai of the Echigo Army, so that the retreating Imagawa Army miscellaneous soldiers gradually regained their footing.

Immediately annoyed a person near the left, the monk's scarf and naginata, fierce as a tiger, it was the leader of the hand to break through the enemy formation, the car hanging samurai who made a spear feat, just killed the flag led by Beizhuang Manjiro, and did not hesitate at this time, led the troops to rush over, did not ask or answer, and split the knife.

Hasegawa Hayato swung his heavy iron rod of broken gold and stepped up to meet it.

There was a screeching sound from the collision of the swordsmen, and the naginata snapped. Although Hasegawa Hayato used a broken gold iron rod and was not afraid of chopping, he suffered a short loss after all, and retained half of his strength to prevent the opponent from turning into a thorn, and his arm was buzzed and trembled, and he took three steps back, almost unable to hold the weapon, and flew out directly. Several Lang Dang hurriedly stepped forward, and the two stepped forward to support them, and the remaining people took turns throwing spears to force back Echigo Ashigaru who wanted to take the opportunity to attack.

The car suspension samurai didn't care about the broken naginata, held the half-cut handle horizontally, and used it as a long cone, and stepped forward, swept away several Imagawa army miscellaneous soldiers who surrounded him, and stabbed Hasegawa Hayato's exposed neck to the outside, Hasegawa Hayato hurriedly dodged to avoid this assassination, but he didn't want the opponent to turn the stab into a sweep, and the hand broke the stick and slapped him in the face, and he was hit hard, and he couldn't help but turn black in front of him, and he couldn't react, if it weren't for the Lang Dang who had followed him for many years, he didn't care about his body, and blocked it behind him, and almost died on the spot.

The cold wind and cold winter, the bloody battle is in full swing.

At the last moment, a person jumped directly above Gao Fu, who was heroic. But seeing that his person was not wearing armor, holding a long knife on his left and a short sword on his right, he was running like an ape, and his movements were fast, but it was Aoki Dashan.

Aoki Daizen saw that Hasegawa Hayato couldn't take down people for a long time, so he simply took matters into his own hands, turned over and jumped down the slope directly, and killed several Echigo soldiers who wanted to stop him in three or two.

The soldier's head is good enough, and he has a chest plate, but he can't stand Aoki's great strength, and he can only hear the crisp sound of 'clucking', and the short hammer pierces the chest plate, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the spear head directly penetrates the body, and falls to the ground with his back to the sky.

The chariot warrior was so shocked that he retreated again and again, the shot he threw just now could kill the head of the soldier, and naturally he could also kill himself.

It seems that the person does not move the sword, and immediately realizes that the person who came is going to 'fight with him', steps forward, suddenly pulls out the short hammer on the corpse, pulls the beautiful spear flower, shakes the blood to the ground, and the tip of the gun points obliquely to the ground, circles the enemy, drags and moves steadily, looking for the opponent's flaws.

During the Warring States Period, the so-called "one horse" mostly refers to a samurai who led only a few soldiers, continuously broke the formation, and captured the flag, of course, Kamakura's atmosphere of advocating martial arts has not completely dissipated, and occasionally there will be two samurai in the battlefield in front of everyone.

At this time, the miscellaneous soldiers who were originally fighting were retreating one after another, giving up a sufficiently spacious open space, and snorting suddenly, the ape screamed whale waves, and even Gao Shisheng and the other party's soldiers Cao also waved their knives again and again, and the two sides also exchanged drums in the formation, and the conch continued.
