Chapter 177: Look at a dead man

After years of fighting, the Imate Tomoshi is no longer the hairy boy when the Kuroda family just rose, after years of tempering, as well as the three swordsmen of the Kuroda family, confirming each other's martial arts, his martial arts have become more mature.

When he goes to the battlefield now, he is no longer like when he was young, he is just moving forward with his blood. He has reached the realm of lifting weights and having no blades, and Kyojiro Mibu told him that this is actually the realm of a swordsman.

Speaking of which, when a samurai goes to the battlefield, of course, it is not to go up to do charity, what a samurai needs to do when he goes into battle is to defeat the samurai of other families and fight for the morale advantage of his own family, which is what we often refer to as a horseman.

As we all know, the heads-up behavior of the main general on the battlefield is a very common phenomenon in the history of warfare of various countries, but it is not necessary to fight on a horse.

The Qin and Han dynasties are the representatives of the highest level of military warfare in ancient China, and it is rare to see classic battles like Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and Han's attack on the Xiongnu in later generations. But while the military strength is strong, it is rare to see such a thing as a fighting general in front of the battle.

This is because the wars that took place during the Qin and Han dynasties were basically large-scale battles. The larger the scale of the war and the tens of thousands of people participating in the war, the smaller the role of individual force will be, and there is no need to change the situation on the battlefield in the future, and it is basically difficult to change it. The rational use of strategy and tactics and the way of group operations have become the primary factors for victory.

What I want to say here is that in fact, there are not so many front-line generals in the Three Kingdoms period, many of them are made up by Luo Moumou, to put it bluntly, it is to find a selling point, and it must fit the senses of readers at that time, so there are many links of pre-battle battles. really want to be like Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, fighting thousands of rounds, fighting for a day and a night, it is not as refreshing as a group fight on both sides.

On the contrary, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the fighting generals recorded in history were very common. During this period, chaotic battles, melee battles, and unprepared battles occurred quite frequently, so the personal force of the commander-in-chief would play a greater role.

Moreover, one of the characteristics of ethnic minorities at that time was that they preferred to fight in the form of tribes, rather than under the unified command of the state apparatus. Even the Jin Dynasty was dominated by the government military system, and in the later period, these government soldiers became the private property of the rulers of various military towns, and deviated from the will of the state.

Therefore, as a patriarch who does not fall into the leader, or the leader of a military town, he must have outstanding martial arts, such as Hu Luguang and Xie Xuan.

Generally, most of the generals who participated in the battle before the battle were those who were outstanding in martial arts among the generals and colonels of the two armies, and there were very few cases where the main generals really came out.

The chief general is the treasure of the army, the head of the army's command system, and the indispensable organizer on the battlefield. If the commander is lost, the three armies will be exhausted, so the whole army must make every effort to protect the safety of the commander. The death of the commander will inevitably lead to the failure of the army's command system, and the collapse of the entire army is also expected, and there are countless examples of this since ancient times. Therefore, it is not common for the battle formations in which the ancient lords will participate in real history.

In other words, the more chaotic the situation in the whole country, the sparser the number of participants on both sides of the battle, the more complex the form between the various forces, and the more generals who can fight, the more likely it is that such a combat method is needed to boost the morale of one's own side.

This is not to say that there were no battles with a large number of people, on the contrary, there were still battles with a large number of people, and there were quite a few, and the Eastern and Western armies of the Onin Rebellion, which numbered 200,000, and the battles of Sekigahara and Osaka in the future, with tens of thousands of people, were also very common.

However, no matter how large the number of people in the battle of the Wa State is, it also has its particularity, and the participants in the battle of the Wa State are actually very similar to the composition of the minority armies in the early days of the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

Let's not talk about the military strength of a small wealthy family, a daimyo with a large army in the Wa Kingdom, in addition to the army directly under his own family, there are also the military strength of the main genealogical retainers, the military strength of the affiliated Hao clan, the military strength of the countrymen, and even temporary mercenaries (the mercenaries here include temporarily recruited ronin samurai, Namba people in the territory, and even bandits and temporarily recruited farmers).

In this kind of military composition, if there is no unified command before and during the battle, the final result is that it is easy to fight separately, and then it is necessary to fight on horseback.

The purpose of the battle is the same as that of other front-line fighters, which is to defeat one's opponent, to achieve a demoralization of the enemy, or even to directly collapse the enemy.

When fighting on the battlefield, it is completely different from the daily wooden sword competition, and its primary task is to kill the enemy, not to perform beautiful and gorgeous moves, so that others can admire the strength of the martial arts.

Now that the Imate Yushi has touched such a realm, he doesn't care about the moves, as long as he can kill people and save his strength, it's the best. Often a move that looks innocent to others, if you really call him to meet it, it is a powerful killing move, and you can't resist it, and the death of Yuan Zheng just now is an excellent example.

Honjo Tsunemitsu held his katana and shouted loudly, as if he was full of confidence to defeat the enemy, and his whole body was full of strength, and this forced man could give him one hundred and five points.

Itetomo looked at Honjo Tsunemitsu who was running over, motionless on his horse, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He was laughing, and the smile on his face was chilling, as if he were already looking at a dead man. Maybe in his eyes, Tsuneko Benjo is full of flaws, and he is a character who is easy to deal with!

Ite's Yushi urged the horse again, this time not slowly, but pulling the reins hard. His idea was to directly urge the horse to the highest speed, to give the enemy a surprise, and kill the enemy with one move, only in this way could he hit the morale of the Maori family at one time.

The horse he sat on was now two years old, a tall war horse, and it was still when the war horse was young and vigorous, and it had been with him for a long time. This horse can already prohibit the actions and orders of the Imate Yushi. At this time, he received an order from Inote Tomoji, and immediately spread his horse's hooves, instantly increasing his speed.
