Chapter 57 Each has a ghost
The soldiers of the Kuroda family who were knocked out by the strong impact of the horses were even more miserable than those who were only broken bones, almost without exception, because of serious internal injuries, they died on the spot after landing, and they did not need to be treated by their companions at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOccasionally, one or two lucky ones have suffered internal injuries but are not dead, and even if they can be cured later, they are probably wasted.
The Sagara family's horseback team, against the Kuroda family's rifle attack, because it is condescending, coupled with the advantage of the horses, many times it is almost a one-sided slaughter.
It's just that when they just rushed head-on, it was inevitable that some knights would be attacked by spears, and under the effect of the powerful impact, they basically had no chance of surviving.
The death of the knight in front caused the horses to be uncontrolled, and the blocking caused by the horses, and because the Kuroda family's wall was really thick enough, the cavalry of the Sagara family behind had to reduce the speed of their horses if they wanted to continue the attack.
Where does the power of cavalry come from? That is, the cavalry's ability to move in the era of cold weapons is much higher than that of other arms, and it can grasp the initiative on the entire battlefield through rapid movement.
Now that the Kuroda family soldiers have succeeded in limiting the speed of the Sagara family's cavalry, this alone is completely worth the price that the Kuroda family has just paid for nearly a hundred people.
Because after the speed of the Sagara family's cavalry slowed down, the Kuroda family's soldiers behind the soldiers who were facing the frontal battle quickly stepped forward and outflanked from both sides, and they surrounded all the Sagara family's horseback teams regardless of their own life and death. During this period, the soldiers of the Kuroda family sacrificed nearly 100 people again in order to block the breakthrough of the cavalry team, and the deaths of these warriors were very miserable.
After the encirclement network was formed, through the skillful cooperation between hundreds of people, the Sagara cavalry was driven to the middle position, and the soldiers of the Kuroda family continued to move forward, and at the same time constantly compressed the space of the Sagara cavalry, who told them to give up their biggest advantage in order to kill a few people, the mobility of the cavalry!
These surrounded cavalry, because of the delay just now, couldn't raise their speed at all, they were still riding the kind of short-legged horses with weak explosive power, and the knights of the Sagara family couldn't break through for a while, unless they were all Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, it was impossible to break through at all.
Marume Semi in the back saw that the cavalry in front was at a disadvantage, and was originally ready to come to the rescue, he knew how precious Sagara Yoshiyo regarded the cavalry team, and he was still a loyal servant in his bones.
But when he saw the two swordsmen who had already come out of the crowd of the Kuroda family and stood in front of him, the five quasi-swordsmen behind them, and the more numerous Taidao team they led, only Marume Semi, who was a quasi-swordsman, knew that she was definitely not their opponent.
Among the few people standing opposite him, as long as there is one random person who comes up, even the quasi-swordsman who seems to have the lowest level of martial arts, Ke'er Jichang, who is holding a spear, needs to spend some effort to deal with him, and it may not be a sure win. Not to mention the two swordsmen who are already a big realm higher than themselves. Even if they don't kill themselves, but just hunt down and kill their own disciples, they can't accept it.
So Marumme Semi only weighed for half a second, and decided to admit it directly, and immediately began to retreat with her disciples.
On the other side of the battlefield, because of the presence of Kai Zongyun, the Aso family's horseback team immediately gave a decisive order to retreat the moment they saw the Kuroda family's firecracker team appear, and the horseback team did come and go like the wind, so they basically kept the Aso family's 300 horseback team.
After the killer skills of the Sagara family and the Aso family did not play any role, and even a horse riding team had been reimbursed, the two of them decided that they didn't want to fight anymore, otherwise even if they defeated the Kuroda family desperately in the end, they would still make a wedding dress for the Shimazu family in the end, which would not do them any good.
As the two flanks of the Southern Kyushu coalition retreated, the central forces of the coalition were quickly attacked by the two flanks of the Kuroda family, especially the gunners of the Kuroda family who were sandwiched in the middle, causing them heavy casualties. But if casualties are secondary, the blow to morale is really the deadliest.
In addition, because the Shimazu family had already prepared for a breakthrough, when they saw the two wings of the coalition retreating, Shimazu Yoshihisa ordered a quick turn of direction and broke through to the rear of the coalition army.
The Shimazu family, who rushed to the front at the beginning of the war, also rushed to the front when they retreated, and because of the timely response, the retreat was fast and orderly, so they escaped the encirclement of the Kuroda family and successfully retained most of the breakout.
The Sagara family and the Aso family, which were the two wings, were the first to retreat, but they quickly left the battlefield and also preserved their soldiers.
And the Ito family, who sat at the end of the entire coalition army, although they reacted a little slower, they were in the best geographical location, so they also managed to escape.
And the Kitahara family, which only has a thousand people, is not only in a bad position, but also very slow to respond, so it is unlucky. When the Kuroda family army and the two wings began to outflank and break through, they barely reacted and became the only unlucky ones, being dumpled by the Kuroda family.
Therefore, the Hyuga Kuniwang clan and the Kitahara family, the small daimyo family, were wiped out in this battle, and the territory of the Kitahara family was divided between the Sagara family and the Ito family, who had been prepared for a long time.
The Kuroda family's victory this time is also easy to say, when they came, each family was heroic, and they all felt that this time they could defeat the Kuroda family in one fell swoop, and then from the other so-called allies, they grabbed the benefits they wanted, or even destroyed each other, just like the Sagara family and the Ito family divided the land of the Kitahara family.
It can be said that although they want to defeat the Kuroda family, they have each had their own ghosts from the beginning, at least they have a deep defense against the Shimazu family.
Therefore, even if they outnumber the Kuroda family, they will not be able to work together, plus the Kuroda family is almost foolproof preparation, they have almost no chance, and it is normal to lose to the Kuroda family now, and there is nothing surprising.
When the coalition army came, it was 18,000 people, and when they left, the Shimazu family lost nearly 600 people, and the Sagara family lost 400 people, and these 1,000 people were the elite of the two families that each relied on the most, and it was a killer weapon, and the result was that the first battle was broken here.
And the smallest loss was the Ito family, which was at the end of the line, and there were no losses except for a few dozen people who ran away.
