"The rats of the Boqi Kingdom actually ran away regardless of their face!" Ushio's cry was full of surprise and incredulity. Although the Bo Qi people hesitated in the face of Nizi Qingjiu and repeatedly violated the ban, they still did what the courtiers should do, and they also followed the battle when they sent troops to Oya. Nizi Haruhisa attacked Kamihito Castle and Masaki Castle in two ways, originally to show the Bo Qi people their strength and let them understand how to choose in front of the Shingu Party and themselves.

Ushio Yukiyo originally planned to treat the Bo Qi people as the queen of the abandoned son palace, where did he think that the Bo Qi people would resolutely withdraw the army regardless of the back road, according to common sense, he had to hesitate for a while to give himself time to break through. Because of this emergency military situation, the members of the public under the command of Nizi Haruhisa immediately gathered together to discuss the next response.

Ushio Kokiyo grimaced, gritted his teeth, and said, "If the rats of the Boqi Kingdom run away, Date will be able to attack us with all his might. At this time, I couldn't afford to delay. Once the Date army is encircled, the casualties will increase dramatically if they want to break out. ”

Sashi Qingzong looked at Ushio Yukiyo and said: "If you want to break through, someone must be behind the palace to block the attack of the Date army, and there were originally Boqi people, what should I do now?" After speaking, he looked around at the generals under the tent, every general in the tent, his face was absolutely pale, everyone understood what the palace army meant, there was still a glimmer of life in the breakthrough, everyone wanted to break out, and did not want to stay in this battlefield that was about to be ravaged by the Date army.

Ushio Yukiyo's expression was also not good, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, understanding that even if he forced someone to stay as a palace army, he would be reluctant to do so, and the most terrible thing was that he was afraid of the arrival of the Date family and immediately turned against him. At that time, I am afraid that the army that broke through the siege will not be able to run far.

Thinking of this, Ushio Yukiyoshi glanced at Sashi Kiyomune and Kawabu Hisamori, both of whom saw the worry in each other's eyes, he pondered for a while, and said to the two: "Oya is not a place to stay for a long time. Or do your best to retreat to Saeki Yuan, after which it is the Tenjin Mountain Castle, where we still have 15,000 troops, and there is something to do. ”

Deputy Kawa Kumori took a deep breath and said: "The key is to block the first wave of the Date Army, as long as you can block the first wave of offensives, it's okay to say." If you can't stop it. I'm afraid it will fall apart immediately. ”

The sound of winter's footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the dark clouds of war are looming over a small place called Oya in the north of Masaki Castle. None of the people on the side of Nizi Haruhisa expected that the battle would become so weird, and the Nizi army, which originally had an absolute advantage, was attacked by the Date army one after another, and the Nizi army, which was still 13,000 troops a few days ago, was now only less than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and the 5,000 unstable Boqi people withdrew in public. The original abandoned army abandoned them first, and became the temple army of the Boqi people. The sky over Otagani was filled with the sound of war drums and trumpets, the beating of weapons, the scattered roar of iron cannons, the shouts of excitement, the mournful sounds of despair, and all kinds of sounds intertwined. The tension and busyness before the coming of the big war are fully revealed.

The Date army, which had not yet been excited from the battle on the banks of the Sunagawa River, began to set up a formation at the front of Oya after a little rest, and soon the pikemen formed three formations, a group of five hundred people, followed by a group of light archers, fighting together in the wilderness, and the iron cannons, which were far more deterrent than the actual power, were far inferior to the low-cost bows and arrows.

The last to appear was the 2,000 soldiers of Zhengheng, and the forging industry in the Kibi area was extremely prosperous due to the production of high-quality iron ore, and in recent years, the Date family has vigorously opened copper mines in the territory in order to obtain silver, and shipping has stagnated. Copper ore overflow.

In order to maintain their dominance, the Date family strengthened their armaments and gathered bankrupt blacksmiths into the artisan camp, and the bronze armor worn by the two thousand soldiers and the swords in their hands were all newly forged. The bronze armor looks glamorous on the outside, but it is actually shoddy on the inside, but its defense is much stronger than that of bamboo foot equipment. In fact, in order to reduce weight and body consumption, in addition to the full body armor of the samurai, ordinary sharp warriors wore all half-body armor, mainly to protect important parts, such as the chest, head, neck, etc.

The moment two thousand soldiers armed with swords and wearing bronze armor appeared on the battlefield, they could fiercely intimidate any enemy who faced them, but at that time, the only thing that really caused great damage in a joint battle was always long-range weapons, that is, bows and arrows.

Zheng Heng looked at the enemy troops who were hurriedly arranged, raised his right hand and pressed it forward gently, and at the same time said lightly: "Attack!" "He will never do that kind of tactic, and he will always do his best to attack the enemy's point under the premise of absolute superiority, commonly known as a wave.

In an instant, the sound of trumpets came to an abrupt end, and after a pause, the dense sound of war drums rushed into the sky, and the pikemen in the front row shrank their formations to make way for passages, and the archers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took their bows and arrows and walked through the passage away for the pikemen to come to the front of the formation.

In the wave of flags, under the roar and howl, fifteen hundred archers released their bowstrings almost at the same time, and in an instant, fifteen hundred feathered arrows had already swept away into the air, and then swept through the sky with a sharp breaking sound, and finally turned into a rain of black arrows, and fell towards the valley.

In the valley, the veterans who had experienced the battle of Yamashiro in Yoshida County and the battle of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle had already hidden behind the rock mass, or they had escaped into the ravine, and those soldiers who had not personally experienced the battle of 10,000 people did not believe in the power of bows and arrows at all, although the veterans still heard the sound of Chunchun's teachings before the war, but they still believed in the flickering of those samurai masters, holding their weapons and moving forward, the bows and arrows shot by the Maruki bow were soft, so there was no need to be afraid.

Fifteen hundred bows and arrows roared, and the long arrows shot into the Otani with a piercing sound of breaking the sky, and the bows and arrows were much more cheeky than the Taidao and bronze armor, of course, the Maruki bow was talking about, and the wisteria bows held by the army were less than two hundred so far, mixed with the bows and arrows shot by the Maruki bow, and the first to rush into the dense enemy group, and the continuous rain of arrows fell from the sky one after another, and the dense Nizi army suddenly fell to the place one by one. The previous article has always told that the lethality of the Maruki bow is really not high, but shooting on a thin foot tool will still make the soldier fall to the ground injured, and the brave samurai wearing armor can block dozens of bows and arrows and continue to fight, after all, it is a minority, and many wear armor instead of thin foot equipment.

The bow and arrow are enough to turn a recruit into a veteran, and those soldiers who fell to the ground and wanted to get up became victims of the second wave of bows and arrows, listening to the pop of the arrow cluster shooting into the ** from the gap in the foot, and the pain spreading from the wound made them fall to the ground again, this time after falling to the ground, whether they had the strength to get up or not, anyway, they didn't have the courage to make them victims of the third wave of bows and arrows, and one of them lay on the ground and rolled to the ravine, hiding the attack of the bow and arrow.

"Shoot!"

Hundreds of ashigaru captains gave orders at the same time, and in the sound of strings, wave after wave of bows and arrows, swaying all their energy, the rain of arrows continued to shoot forward, from the beginning of the continuous wailing, and then closed their mouths and drowned in the sound of arrows breaking through the air, but all the nunzi army who still had a breath alive, whether it was a veteran or a new soldier, kept their mouths shut to prevent the sound from coming out, and once the sound came out, they would immediately be cared for by many archers. Even the samurai dressed in armor were also severely injured under the continuous rain of arrows, and at least more than 200 of the more than 600 Nizi soldiers guarding the front of Odani fell in a pool of blood, and nearly 300 people lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, losing their combat effectiveness.

Ten arrows were shot, and fifteen thousand arrows completed their mission in a quarter of an hour, landing on the front position of Oya, and these fifteen thousand bows and arrows were reserved by the Date family against Maoriyuan, but before they could be used, Maoriyuan was defeated and fled.

Zhengheng knows the strength of the trapped beast, once the 2,000 Nizi army is ruthless, even if it has ten times the strength of it, I am afraid that it will suffer, not to mention that the total strength of the Date army is not more than 10,000 people, and the number of people who besiege Oya this time is only 5,500 people.

In the same way, when the Date army besieged Otani, it also used the method of encircling the division, which has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, and it seems to give the Nizi army in Ozaya a gap to break through, but on the way, Kakuro Hengxin and Takahata, two cadres, and 500 elite soldiers, are enough to block Saeki.

Under the repeated fire of the Date archers, the Nizi army that was blocked at the front of Oya finally waited for the order to retreat, and the follow-up fresh forces finally helped their screaming companions to pull back to the rear camp at the urging of the samurai, but more dead and wounded were forgotten on the forward position of Oya.

When Niko Haruhisa fainted, Ushio Yukiyo, Sashi Kiyomune, and Kawabu Hisamori were too late in the decision of the public meeting, and the order for rescue was only given when the front army suffered heavy casualties. It was obvious that the Date army could not give them enough time to clean up the formation, and once again the order of the political balance was given, and the pikemen began to walk up in order, gradually filling the gaps that had been left for the archers, forming a large diamond-shaped shock array and appearing in front of the formation. This array is so that every soldier can face the enemy at the same time in the first time, which makes the lethality increase exponentially, but it has depth, and every soldier will be protected by his comrades on the left and right and behind him.

In the slow drum beat, the pikemen formation began to advance in an orderly manner, the Date army could not train for a long time, and it was in wartime for a long time, so that the pikemen formation, seemingly strong, in fact, once they began to charge, it was impossible to maintain the formation, and only the slow pace of progress was able to maintain the stability of the formation.

In the case that the war has entered an absolute advantage, this seemingly slow formation actually gives the enemy more psychological pressure, especially the ordinary soldiers of the Nizi Army who have been deterred by the archers, a "bobo" continuous gun forest crushed, there are really not many people who dare to stand in front of them and try to block.

The public was powerless to return to the sky in this situation, even if Nizi Haruhisa did not have any pain, they were helpless, the scene in front of them suddenly made them gasp, Ushio Yukiyo exhaled a breath of turbidity, and finally ordered: "Gather all the cavalry and break through!" ”
