"Chapter 159: Fighting the Defense Line"

Life Power and SubjectivityWhen we discuss contemporary society, the forms of operation of command and obedience in contemporary society, and the forms of expression of resistance and life choice in contemporary society, the starting point of our discussion is a basic understanding: this society is indeed contained in capital.

There are many reasons why Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobukishi will not surrender to the Yanhuang family, such as their loyalty to Tsugaru and their affection for the Tsugaru family, but there are only two reasons why they cannot surrender.

First, their family was still in Ishikawa Castle, and if they dared to lead their army to surrender to the Yanhuang family on the battlefield, then their family would be executed by the enraged Tsugaru Nobu without hesitation, as Hattori Yasuki and Ogasawara Nobuti were sure of.

Second, the soldiers under their command, especially the standing soldiers of the Tsugaru family, were not loyal to the two of them, but to the governors of the Tsugaru family, so even if they wanted to surrender, they might not be able to gain the approval of the soldiers.

With a tiger in front of them and a wolf in the back, Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobukishi had to prepare for a desperate battle, and they thought that instead of waiting for the pursuers behind them to catch up, it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of them.

Hattori Yasushi and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi immediately began their attack, and all the last 5,000 soldiers of the standing army were drawn out, and under the personal command of Hattori Yasushi, these soldiers were in position and ready to launch a breakthrough attack.

The remaining 7,000 peasant soldiers in the Tsugaru family's army, under the command of Ogasawara Nobuki, took on the task of covering the main force to break through; once the pursuing army of the Yanhuang family caught up, Ogasawara Nobuyumi would rely on these peasant soldiers to block the Yanhuang family's attacking army.

Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi, who were preparing for the pre-war mobilization, could not hide all their actions from Wendell and Kunohe Yasuma on the other side, and in order to meet the attack of the Tsugaru family's army, Wendell also began to adjust his governor's guard.

The Governor's Guard's Infantry Wing was split into four separate combat brigades by Wendell, each with a brigade of elite infantry to protect them, and the elite infantry to protect the crossbowmen whenever the enemy rushed forward.

The cavalry wing, which had 2,000 specially trained cavalry, was not split by Wendell, and all of them were cruising on the periphery of the battlefield, and Wendell gave himself the task of the captain of the cavalry wing, which was not to let go of any of the Tsugaru family soldiers.

This meant that even if Hattori Yasujo's 5,000 standing troops could break through the infantry defenses of Wendell and Kunohe Yasunari, they would still have to face a surprise assault of 2,000 elite cavalry, a battle that Hattori would not win, and the difference in strength between the two sides was huge.

Wendell's frontal interception army was not only 2,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 elite infantry, but also 6,000 soldiers under the command of Kudo Yasuma deployed on both flanks of the governor's guard; these 6,000 soldiers were not strong in combat, but they were more than enough to strengthen the defensive line.

In less than five minutes, Hattori was ready to attack, and he had said enough to encourage the soldiers to mobilize before the war, and he could not change the current situation that morale was still low.

Hattori Yasujo, who was a veteran of the battlefield, was not a fool, and after he gave the order to attack with all his might, he let 1,000 of the most elite soldiers charge forward, but the other 4,000 soldiers were slightly distanced from the charging soldiers under his own leadership.

"Onboard!" "Onboard!"......

The frenzied offensive posture of the Tsugaru clan soldiers shouting the slogan of the charge did not affect the momentum and formation of the soldiers of the Governor's Guard, but the soldiers under the command of Yasuma Kunohe had a slight commotion when the battle was about to break out.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"......

The soldiers of the Tsugaru clan quickly rushed within range of the crossbowmen, and then the crossbowmen of the five crossbow brigades fired the crossbow arrows they had been preparing for a long time, and the crossbow arrows with great impact were more lethal than the longbow and arrow rain with a long range.

As soon as the rain of arrows was fired, the crossbowmen were immediately busy reloading their crossbow arrows, and the Tsugaru clan soldiers who were shot fell in pieces like cutting wheat, and all those who were shot were shot on the spot, and there was no possibility of escape.

There are even many people who have been directly shot through by crossbow arrows, and before they even have time to scream, they fall heavily on the way to charge; this is the power of the crossbow, a super weapon that is far inferior in range to longbowmen, but far more lethal than longbowmen!

In the first volley, the crossbowmen shot at least two or three hundred soldiers of the Tsugaru family, and many more soldiers of the Tsugaru family were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.

It's just that Hattori Yasujo, who has been prepared for a long time, will not give up the attack so easily, and the 1,000 soldiers who desperately charge in front are just bait troops deliberately arranged by Hattori Yasushi, and his real target of attack is the flank defense line under the command of Kunohe Yasuma.

Although Hattori Yasujo did not know the difference between Wendell's Governor's Guard and Kunohe Yasuma's Yanhuang Standing Army, this did not affect him from judging which of the two armies was stronger and which was weaker, and from the beginning, his real target of attack was not the imposing Governor's Guard line.

At the same time that his own charging soldiers suffered heavy losses, Hattori Yasujo seized the fighter plane and immediately led his 4,000 soldiers to launch an attack on the Yanhuang Standing Army defense line, which was composed of 3,000 Yanhuang Standing Army.

The 4,000 elite Tsugaru family soldiers attacked the 3,000 soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army under the command of Yasuma, which was the result of Hattori Yasujo's good intentions; he used the sacrifice of 1,000 soldiers under his command in exchange for a chance for the main force to break through the defense line of the Yanhuang family.

I have to admit that Hattori Yasujo's arrangement is indeed exquisite, and the 3,000 soldiers on the left flank, who were caught off guard, were stunned by the fierce attack of the Tsugaru family soldiers before they could react, so that their defense line became full of holes.

The situation took a turn for the worse, forcing Kunohe Yasuma to temporarily transfer 1,000 soldiers from the right flank defense line to join the left flank defense line, but he still could not stabilize his left flank defense line.

The elite infantry wing of the Doge's Guard, which was extremely powerful in combat, could rank among the top three even in the strong city of Rome, and with the addition of this new force, the already precarious left flank defense line suddenly became solid.

The soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army, who had been defeated by Hattori's army, were able to steady their retreat with the support of the Governor's Guard, and the scorching battle became more and more intense, and both sides of the battle were unreservedly engaged in the fight.
