Chapter 126: Unification of Ju Shengguo (14)

The peasant soldiers forcibly recruited by the four daimyos, although the number of people on each side reached more than 50,000.

But few of these 50,000 peasant soldiers thought of fighting bravely to kill the enemy and establish meritorious deeds in order to be promoted to samurai by the lord.

Even if you don't get promoted to samurai, you can get a few copper coins.

Most of the 50,000 peasants were thinking about how to run back to their farmland.

After all, for these peasants, the annual field supply is indispensable, so the boss will not come to collect it because he was pulled out by the lord to fight.

And this war has nothing to do with himself, if he wins, he will still be taxed by the original lord, and if he is defeated, he will only be taxed by another lord.

For themselves and the peasants, they all need to be taxed, and this kind of war has nothing to do with them.

It stands to reason that in such an era, it is inconceivable that a farmer would think like this.

Because in order not to accept the notice of outsiders, in order to maintain the original lord, the farmer automatically besieged the invaders, and it happened from time to time in this world.

Moreover, a large number of farmers are loyal to their lords, and they have been abused by the lords thousands of times, and the peasants still treat them like their first love.

But this qiē has a premise, that is, the interests of the lord and the lord are the same.

Or maybe the lord has been in control of the territory for a very long time.

The ancestors of the people who have been so far back that they have been the lords of this lord for eighteen generations.

It has been so long ago that these lords have subconsciously thought that the lord is the lord, and no one can change this possible situation.

Only when the above conditions are reached will those subjects have that kind of die-hard loyalty.

However, although the two unfortunate daimyo ruled the whole county, most of the county leaders were not their old lords, but had just been defeated.

And these unlucky two daimyo are hiding selfish intentions.

When the peasants were recruited, the peasants of the old collar were not recruited on a large scale, and all the men of the newly occupied areas were recruited.

This is normal. Because the old domain is related to the territorial interests of the retainers of the whole family.

After all, the new territory has just been conquered, and it has not yet been canonized, and the knowledge and deeds of the retainers are all in the old territory.

Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is impossible for anyone to recruit all the peasant soldiers under the command of the retainers.

So it is conceivable that these leaders don't want to deal with Mao.

Because for them, the daimyo who now recruited them is the invader, because their original lords have been driven away or killed.

And now the Fengyuan family that has attacked is respectful, because the original lords and those familiar samurai have all joined the Fengyuan family.

Feel it. I have an admiring attitude towards the Fengyuan family!

So in such a state of mind, it is very normal for these peasant soldiers to be slow and want to escape at any time.

And the warriors of the Fengyuan family didn't bother to pay attention to these things.

Although I was really startled when I noticed the dense crowd in front of me.

After all, they've never seen so many enemies!

But they also soon found that the other party was wearing a set of shabby bamboo armor and holding a still tender bamboo spear.

The local natives don't know where they are, this is a peasant soldier!

For a moment, the samurai all smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

I also stayed at Fengyuan's house for a while, and I got used to the existence of thousands of elite troops in the standing army.

Forget about the peasants, the most common form of the army.

I was taken aback just now. After all, if you really want so many standing troops, even if you have hundreds of powerful warriors and 5,000 standing troops on your side, it will only end up in rout!

Don't think that powerful warriors are awesome.

As long as there is military discipline to suppress it. Ten death-defying ashigaru are enough to destroy a powerful samurai.

Like the Fengyuan family, there is strict training and abundant food to enjoy, and there is also this huge meritorious reward, and will also take care of your family, free from the worries of war death.

If 5,000 people are facing each other against themselves. It only takes a thousand casualties to kill all of his hundreds of powerful warriors.

Because most of these powerful warriors are only white powerful abilities, they are not afraid of death in the face of five thousand fierce warriors. And a well-equipped and well-trained army, there really isn't much resistance.

And for the peasant soldiers?

These samurai are clear. Those peasant soldiers will definitely turn into demons when they fight with the wind, and countless samurai will die at the hands of these untouchables.

But as long as they are given a few haters in person, these peasant soldiers will immediately flee like a chicken nest that has exploded, screaming and shouting wildly.

It can even sweep away the standing army that is pressing the formation behind and collapse.

It's not unheard of, and it's the norm.

So many times, when various samurai went to war, they just used peasant soldiers as cheerleaders.

And now, the other party actually dares to urge tens of thousands of peasant soldiers to be pioneers?

Isn't this looking for death or what?

Don't you see those peasant soldiers looking around, looking like they are running away at any time?

If it weren't for the enemy's standing armies on both sides of the flanks to keep the formation, I'm afraid these peasant soldiers would have dispersed as they walked.

After realizing that the enemy on the opposite side was vulnerable, the powerful warriors didn't bother to form any formation.

Directly yelled, three or two friends rushed forward with knives.

The peasant soldiers, who were cautiously exploring the way and looking for an opportunity to escape, did not even notice that a samurai was rushing up from the opposite side.

It was the standing army that monitored these peasants and soldiers found out and immediately shouted loudly to order them to prepare for battle, and the peasants and soldiers reacted.

But at this moment of war, the peasant soldiers who were forcibly pulled up immediately exploded.

Some people subconsciously held bamboo guns and prepared to fight.

Some are at a loss for what to do.

Others retreated and disappeared into the crowd.

Of course, more of them were ready to scatter and flee, but after killing a few unlucky people for the standing army that had been prepared for a long time, the tendency to flee was greatly suppressed.

But this kind of suppression did not last long, as those Fengyuan family warriors rushed up fiercely, the power of one move was continuously displayed.

crackled and chopped the peasant soldiers who were ready to rush into pieces of meat.

Blood stumps were piled up all over the place, and the smell of blood came to my nose.

There were no screams, because these peasant soldiers who were attacked were all dismembered in the first place.

Those hesitant peasant soldiers were directly stupid.

It took a while to come to his senses, and he immediately screamed, or he was stunned and ran directly towards the Fengyuan family warrior with his spear.

Either you just throw away the bamboo gun and run around like a headless fly.

The samurai of the Fengyuan family naturally took the opportunity to exert the power of another move.

Again, a large carpet of flesh and blood was created.

This kind of attack, which is almost impossible to resist, is simply impossible for these peasant soldiers to withstand.

In an instant, they immediately dispersed.

The standing army still wanted to suppress the peasant soldiers.

But the peasants and soldiers, who had already been frightened crazy, either ignored the coercion of the standing army and ran away.

Either he was angry and directly used bamboo guns to kill these standing troops like the prison army, so that he could escape faster and smoother.

Think about how many people were sent out to supervise the standing army, and think about how many peasant soldiers there were.

The results speak for themselves.

After the monitored standing army was completely submerged by the peasants, these peasant soldiers, who had long wanted to flee home, naturally did not say a word, and scattered and fled away at once.

Only the group of Fengyuan warriors who were still ready to make a few ruthless moves again were left, and they shook their heads helplessly with their swords.

As for Fengyuan Ashigaru, who came from behind and was ready to pick up some leftovers to eat, he peeked at his boss angrily.

It's too much, and he actually completely collapsed the enemy all at once, and he can't pick up a little credit if he wants to!

If you continue like this, when and how long will you become a samurai?

However, the samurai and ashigaru of the Toyogen family soon focused their attention on the standing armies of the four famous families.

After all, this standing army still maintains a formation, and it looks so dazzling in this chaotic sea of people.

As soon as they discovered the main force of the enemy army, whether it was the samurai of the Toyogen family or Ashigaru, they all roared excitedly and rushed towards the sea of people. (To be continued......)
