Chapter Twenty-Eight: Where is the enemy ordered by the Yulin Army?

Truly tragic battles always break out unexpectedly.

In Taiheiji Temple, groups of Murakami troops continued to attack from all directions, killing all the enemy troops they encountered in front of them, regardless of whether the opponent had laid down their weapons or not, and begged for surrender loudly.

When the defeat was decided, Fujido Toraka and Ii Naoqin knew that it was not against the law, and they did not plan to turn the tide. The two joined forces, led the last thirty or so Lang Dang, collected the remnants of the defeated soldiers along the way, and broke through the gap in the eastern courtyard wall on foot, where the Murakami army was the weakest.

Just when the two of them were less than 100 steps away from the gap in the east wall, a group of soldiers and horses came out from the south side of the pavilion to intercept them, the number was not much, about forty or fifty people, but at first glance it was the flag book that had been recuperating for a long time.

Of course, there is no doubt that the person in charge is Shimazaki Keishinobu who came to ask for the heads of the two on the order of Murakami Yoshikiyoshi.

In the low meditation rooms on both sides of the pavilion, in the ruins of several ruins that were destroyed by the stone machine throwing baked jade and stones, several brave Takeda soldiers suddenly burst out, who were angry at the slaughter of the captives by the Murakami army, and jumped out with a roar, trying to die with the enemy.

Shimazaki Keishinobu didn't pay any attention to these remnants, waved his spear, strode straight to the east, and the two enemy generals who retreated cautiously killed two defenders at the same time from the ruins on his side, one of them marched forward quickly, holding a half-broken scythe in his hand, and the other stood behind the collapsed wall, full of bowstrings for concealment.

In the whistling wind and dust stirred up by the spear, the arrows that blocked the standing string were plucked, and Shimazaki Keishinobu threw the broken gold rod in his left hand horizontally, smashing the enemy soldiers in the ruins with bows and faces. Then he lifted his breath slightly, and rushed forward a few steps quickly, and the remaining remnant mustered all his bravery, and shouted the broken spear, and without even touching the armor of the comer, he was slammed in the neck by a shot, and tumbled down the dirt slope.

At this moment, after passing through the ruins on the other side of the pavilion, he suddenly killed the defender who had been in ambush for a long time, he was holding a spear, and the Takeda Ridge flag behind him was rustling in the wind, and then stabbed at Shimazaki Keishinobu in the back, but at the same time, the accompanying Murakami Kimoto stabbed out more spears, and directly knocked him out halfway, with the huge inertia generated by the charge, this Takeda Ashigaru was directly nailed to the wall of the ruins, and blood was scattered and spurted.

The broken wall, which had long been overwhelmed, collapsed directly in a bang, burying the nameless corpse completely.

The generals in the Murakami military camp successively climbed the Yakura watchtower and watched from afar.

The dense sound of horses' hooves on both wings rolled like thunder, the earth groaned, and the camp shook for it. The shouts of the battalion's diplomatic battle were getting louder and closer.

In the distance, the front of Nagao Masakei seemed to be unable to resist, and the sharp banner of the Imagawa army penetrated deep into the formation; Nearby, the sound of Takeda Akabei's horse's hooves shook the ground and trembled slightly, and the two teams of Shimazu and Yokoyama sent to block the attack screamed miserably from time to time, and the flesh and blood flew in a blur.

There was a sudden shouting of killing in front of the left, and everyone hurried to look, and saw that it was a group of Takeda soldiers in the temple who broke out, wanting to meet the Chibei cavalry who responded, and then the second team, the third team, and the fourth team!

More and more of the defenders of Taihei Temple escaped, or in groups of three or five, or in a party of ten, fighting hard with the Murakami army who intercepted them, and almost every step forward, there were people rolling down, either enemies, friendly troops, or themselves.

Seeing the friendly army escape, the Chibei cavalry, who invaded like fire, launched a charge again, and moved forward, and in an instant, dozens of horsemen broke into the water thief formation of the Hengshan team, and the 'fire word' banner and the Takeda Si Ling Ling leaned on the flag, as if entering a no-man's land, directly overwhelmed the water thieves from the middle.

Seeing this, Shimazu Tadashi, the leader of the Shimazu trio, was greatly annoyed, and slammed his fist on the railing of the watchtower, and scolded angrily, "These water thieves are really useless!" But he forgot about Fang Cai, the Shimazu team he sent was about to collapse, and it was even more unbearable than this group of useless water thieves in his mouth.

On the right, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and everyone turned their heads to look again, and saw a knight with red armor and antlers, and someone recognized it as one of the two Kanozu brothers from the family crest on the flag behind him.

One of his two brothers was responsible for breaking through the formation, and the other launched an attack on the camp to prevent the military horses from leaving the camp to intercept the defenders of the temple from breaking through.

"The enemy cavalry is near, the whole army is there, array! Array! ”

From the Chinese army watchtower, looking down, the soldiers are like a forest standing slowly, gradually layered, there are people surging in front of the gate, the cold light of the sickle, under the sunshine at noon, it makes people feel more and more cold and piercing.

In the spear phalanx, there is a certain distance between the soldiers in front and back, left and right. According to common sense, "where the foot is light in the array, the place where the breadth and vertical are two steps and one place". The second step and the other are all distance units, which are about two meters or so, mainly to avoid being attacked by enemy arrows and flying stones before the engagement, and causing too many casualties.

However, when facing different enemy infantry and cavalry, it will be adjusted appropriately, and this spacing can be shortened and replaced with a denser gun before the short engagement.

"Steady! The front team is steady! Several groups of routed water thieves dragged their guns and flags, shouting for help, trying to get the friendly troops to open the door and let them in to escape Takeda Akabei's pursuit.

But in response to them was a burst of warning arrows, and a few thieves who didn't know whether they were too bold or were frightened by Takeda Chibei broke the army, cursing and wanting to attack the camp, this time the Murakami army in the camp didn't say anything more, and a burst of random arrows directly shot the leaders into a hornet's nest.

"Go both ways! Go both ways! Yokoyama Kiyotake shouted loudly, risking being shot by an arrow, rushed forward, and dragged a comrade who was shot in the leg and rolled all over the ground from the front of the gate and through the right side to the back of the camp, and the rest of the water thieves saw that the front gate could not be passed, so they had to give up the plan to enter the camp and retreat to the mountains and forests behind the camp instead, trying to use the complicated terrain to avoid Takeda Akabei's killing.

The sound of the horse's hooves is near, close.

"Steady, steady! In front there are fences, long bows, longbows, and iron cannons. Even thousands of cavalry can't rush in! ”

The leaders of each team and Hyosa said the same or similar words to calm the nervous subordinates, and the rear team of Ashigaru was blocked by the people in front, although they did not have to take the lead in facing Takeda Akabei's gallop attack, but they also could not know the specific battle situation, and they could only rely on the banner waving in front of them to judge whether it was beneficial to their own side.

A few soldiers either stepped forward with the generals to command, or stayed in place to supervise the battle. The envoys in the camp shouted,

The drums beat up, shaking the hearts of the soldiers, and the soldiers moved when they heard the drums, shouting hoarsely, "Stand up and line up!" ”

The front team, which was originally a little loose, walked with vigorous steps, quickly and closely together, hunched over, put their scythes on the ground, and prepared for engagement.

The horse's hooves rolled, the soldiers of the Shimazu team hugged their heads and scurried, and fled towards the temple, and the person who took the stage first directly followed Shimazaki Keishin, who chased out of the temple, almost bumped into his arms, was kicked in the chest, and rolled directly down the torii, and was washed over the royal road by almost blood, and fell down, and hit several routs who could not dodge.

He was dressed in great armor, holding a large vermilion lacquer spear, followed by dozens of soldiers, intimidating the defeated soldiers to turn back to meet the enemy. Seeing the red cavalry outside the temple, rolling up billowing smoke and dust, blocking his sight, he couldn't help but shout with disgust, "Where are the two enemy generals?" ”

Dozens of soldiers echoed, "On the left side outside the temple, I have fled into the enemy formation one hundred and ten paces away!" ”

Shimazaki Keishin shouted again, "All the troops, where is the enemy general who is being pursued by the Yulin army!" ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi is good at soothing soldiers, and his grace is profound. Many of the defeated soldiers were embarrassed and indignant, followed the courage of the banner team, and responded in unison, "On the left side outside the temple, I have fled into the enemy formation one hundred and ten steps away!" ”
