Chapter 209: A Ride (Total Recommendation: 90,000 Plus Update)

The Takeda Army, which was actually the rear army on the left flank, finally began to collapse under the heavy casualties after the main general was captured alive, and there were many people who fled, but they were still named by the Ida cavalry, wantonly indulging their killing intent. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only one person escaped with his life, escaped from Rasheng Hell, and the remaining 700 or so people were all killed, and ended up almost annihilated, which is not uncommon in the Date family.

Yamanaka Yukimori stood tall on the beach, looking at the battlefield of gold and iron five or six hundred steps away, the Takeda army gradually overwhelmed the Saito army, which was superior in numbers, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, the corners of his mouth sneered slightly, and muttered: "There are two brushes!" ”

Unlike the Date Army, which is constantly making strange moves, both the Saito Army and the Takeda Army follow traditional tactics. Of course, the traditional tactics referred to here do not refer to the tactics of the era of Yuanping Warfare, and traditions also need to keep pace with the times.

The shouting and killing sound on the battlefield is earth-shattering, the sound of gold and iron is deafening, there are guns and guns everywhere, it seems that the battlefield is grand, and from time to time there are one or two unlucky eggs who are shot and fall to the ground, in fact, the number of real casualties on both sides is not as fast as the more than 100 Ida cavalry.

A big battle of thousands of scales between the enemy and us, and the sacrifice of two or three hundred people after the melee is already the sky. This is the meaning of joint combat, it is normal for two or three hundred people to be killed and injured in one round. There are only a few people in the Wa Kingdom, and if every joint battle is revealed, then there will be no strange thing that the population of the Warring States Period is getting more and more fighting, and the only explanation for the increasing population is that the birth rate is higher than the death rate. Twenty or thirty casualties of hundreds of people in joint battles, and two or three hundred casualties of thousands of people, those joint battles with more than 1,000 casualties in the history of warfare are actually the sum of joint battles that broke out in the same area during the same time period, and this time period is long and short.

The most ferocious battle of Tsuruga recently, in one day, in fact, only half a day, killed more than 10,000 people, and then successively increased the number of people killed to more than 15,000 people in the next seven or eight days. This is still the number of beheadings, not counting the injured, such a ferocious method of warfare, whoever encounters it will be stunned. After a battle, it was not a big injury to the muscles and bones, but the fact that every family brought the bereaved families to wear white, and the originally thriving township immediately became a widow's village, which is an important reason why the Date family is getting stronger and stronger, and no one dares to rebel.

The Date family is not only tolerant, but also has a reputation for murder. Murderous name is not the same as notoriety, fighting on the battlefield is their own master, at most they are cruel, but they cannot be said to be evil, the Date family thoroughly implements the policy of four princes and six peasants can be said to be the only one in the whole country, even the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea is also a good government that only has a political Qing Dynasty.

Immediately like a Shura, and like a bodhisattva under the horse. The Kwantung countries did not yet know the heart of the Bodhisattva, but they were the first to see the side of Shura. The weaker and weaker resistance, the cheers of wanton killing, have already alarmed the two sides fighting in front. Everyone looked up, and this look, whether it was the friendly Saito army or the Takeda army as the enemy, was shocked.

A group of Date cavalrymen dressed in red armor were cheering on the battlefield, constantly pulling out the throwing spears scattered everywhere in their hands, and throwing the corpses on the ground indifferently.

When the news of the destruction of the Takeda Army was known to both the enemy and us on the battlefield, the reaction was completely different, and the morale of the Saito Army was greatly boosted, and the Takeda Army was filled with righteous indignation and anger, and the battlefield became even more chaotic.

Yamanaka Yukimori blew the bamboo whistle, and a shrill whistle drowned out the laughter, he glanced around and shouted, "Queue up!" The sound of the horses sounded one after another, and soon three columns were arranged, and only the shouts of the lucky people in the mountains could be heard, "Report the number!" ”

In the sound of the number of reports one after another, the faces of the originally happy cavalry soldiers became more and more solemn, and the Takeda army's death-defying counterattack caused them to lose the lives of twenty-three comrades, and there was no geographical distinction between Izumo and Aki on the battlefield, and the only thing they could trust was their comrades who fought side by side. Before the war, there were also laughing companions wrapped in horse leather, separated by yin and yang. Everyone gritted their teeth, and all looked at the mountains that stood in the forefront. The cavalry called itself a system, and because it was created by Zhengheng, it was superior to others when it was established. I despise this half-grown boy with a small surname who is close to Xi.

In their eyes, the half-sized Yamanaka Yumori should be hiding in the alleys next to the street and dare not look at them directly, and his eyes should be full of envy. If it weren't for the fact that this kid was a person around Zhengheng, with his own light and badness, and that order constraint, they would have spoken ill of him a long time ago, but now it's different.

This taciturn half-grown man is very powerful, and he is not yet mature in archery, spearmanship, and riding skills, and he is a good player, and after it is completely opened, I am afraid that he will be far away from them. The army only respects the strong, and Yamanaka Yukimori used his skills to conquer the horses.

Yamanaka Yukimori turned his horse, drew his spear, which was still covered with black and brown blood, and pointed to the battlefield in front of him and shouted, "Shoot all the spears on your body, and then quickly retreat, we can't let the brothers lie here, we must take them all home." ”

Yamanaka Yukimori's meaning is very clear, if you want to leave, you must bring back the corpses of your dead companions, and do not give up or abandon them, which is also a point that convinces the riders. They followed Yamanaka Yumori and began to charge towards the Takeda Army, shouting in their mouths.

Takeda Nobuyoshi, who was sitting in the middle army, saw the scene of the destruction of the left flank, and his hatred immediately filled his chest, if it weren't for the stalemate in the front, he was afraid that he would have led the whole army to press up. However, on the battlefield, although the number of people was not superior, the courage of the army to defeat the Saito army was retreating, and if he was given another half an hour, he would be able to break through the blockage of the Saito army and open the way home.

Seeing the Date cavalry charging over, Takeda Nobuyori reflexively made almost the same decision as Iitomi Masakakei, using the numerical advantage to delay the attack speed of the enemy cavalry, and then engulfing the enemy cavalry, and arranging a formation to block the attack of the delayed enemy cavalry.

As soon as Takeda Nobuyoshi hastily laid out the dense array, he heard the words floating from the enemy horse: "Release!" He secretly said that it was not good, but it was too late to react, and he saw sixty or seventy throwing guns whistling over the open space in the middle, which made people tremble.

The whistling sound of the high-speed flying spear tearing through the air was like the laughter of death, and the breath of death enveloped the dense array of the Takeda army in an instant, as if it hit Takeda Shinshihiro in the face, and the rest of the people stood there dumbfounded, at a loss.

Only then did Takeda Nobuyhiro know why Iitomi Masakai was defeated so quickly and so tragically. When Takeda Nobuyoshi looked up again, he saw a tragic scene that he would never forget for a lifetime, throwing a gun into his body was as simple as tearing a rag, and the impact of inertia was not a few in a series of two shots, and three in a row. Because the wound of the throwing gun is so large, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you may never be able to go to the battlefield again. All he saw was a brutal scene of a sudden gap, and he lost nearly a hundred good hands at once.

The two sides were only fifty paces apart, and the whistling of guns rang out again, taking a lot of lives again, this time with a little experience, and the casualties were slightly reduced, but it still took a terrible price. Takeda Nobuyhiro gritted his teeth, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, listened to the miserable wail, his anger was burning, and looking at the enemy horses that were getting closer and closer, he shouted: "Fight with them!" Saying that, leading the Chinese army with heavy casualties to resist the enemy, the indignant Takeda soldiers did not care about treating their comrades, and went into battle with guns and knives, and vowed to devour to eat the Date cavalry alive.

Yamanaka Yukimori finally reined in the reins of the horse, stopped the momentum of the charge, stood more than thirty steps away from the Takeda army, looked ahead with a smile, and the cavalry stopped one after another, looking at Yamanaka Yukimori with a little puzzlement.

Yamanaka Yukimori smiled slyly, stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "I am Yamanaka Kanosuke Yukimori, the cavalry general under Date Masahiro, who dares to fight with me?!" ”

Kumagai Naokiyo and the other cavalry muttered, secretly regretting that such a good opportunity to be in the limelight just now was robbed by Yamanaka Yukimori. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in front of the two armies, fighting alone, riding to kill the enemy general, what a majestic thing.

For hundreds of years after the rise of samurai at the end of the Heian period, the samurai fought mostly on the battlefield alone, which was also known as a riding warrior at the time. However, as time went on, this tactic became less common.

Yamanaka Yukimori challenged, and Takeda Nobuyoshi, though furious, had to fight. Not being able to fight means cowardice, and the morale of the army that was originally strong will collapse like an avalanche, which is very disadvantageous to the Takeda army, which is eager to break out of the encirclement.

Yamanaka Yukimori saw that the Takeda Army did not come up to challenge for a while, and brandished his spear proudly, and said provocatively: "Are you afraid of me, haha, if you are afraid of me, Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori, give me kneeling and surrender, but I can be spared my life." ”

One of them jumped up from the Takeda army and shouted: "The yellow-haired child Hugh is going to be rampant, the son of the Ogasawara clan Nagasawara Nagasagawa fishing Kansai Mitsuken Nagasaka Saemon Captain Masakuni, come to take the head of Er, machete!" "Ran out of the formation and came towards the mountain to kill Yumori.

Yamanaka Yukimori licked his tongue, raised his spear, and rushed towards Nagasaka Masakuni with a shout, and with a fierce blow, he hit Nagasaka Masakuni to the point that his mouth was cracked, and he almost lost his head in a different place, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, trying to struggle to get up.

Nagasaka Masakuni never thought that Yamanaka Yukimori would be so strong, he was almost killed in one blow, he was terrified and sweaty, he always thought that he was a great brave general, even in the fierce Takeda family, he can be regarded as a well-known figure, but now this confidence was killed by Yamanaka Yukimori's sharp blow.

Yamanaka Yukimori glanced at Nagasaka Masakuni, and suddenly saw Nagasaka Masakoku's hair stand up, and he was weak, Yamanaka Yukimori knew that the other party had been frightened by himself, so he adjusted again, stepped forward and smashed Nagasaka Masakoku's back with the handle of the gun, and smashed Nagasaka Masakuni to death.

Yamanaka Yumori turned his horse's head and shouted loudly again: "Haha, I thought that the Takeda family was a fierce general, it turned out that they were all so good, who else?" When Yamanaka Yukimori shouted out who else, his arrogant and domineering expression was vivid.

Where did Takeda Shinshigeru think that the son of Nagasaka Mitsuken, one of the six members of the Okujin Xi, would be so vulnerable, you must know that Nagasaka Masakuni is still quite active in front of him in normal times, and he looked around and knew that sending others up was to deliver food.

Ignoring the maxim that a gentleman does not stand a wall, Takeda Nobu Fan took up his gun and went into battle in person, shouting: "I am Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu Takeda Saoma Suke Nobu Shigeru, and I will meet you." As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the mountain with a gun, and he was lucky.

Unaware of the moment when Yamanaka Yukimori turned his horse's head, he commanded Kumagai Naokiyo and the others: "Wait a while, Takeda Nobuhiro will come up, and I will wait to rush up, capture him, and then kill the enemy troops who came to rescue him." As he spoke, he rushed forward again.

Takeda Nobuhiro is naturally not Nagasaka Masakuni is incomparable, his strength is a lot stronger, and Yamanaka Yukimori just fought, so that Yamanaka Yukimori suffered a secret loss, if it weren't for the strong armor, I was afraid that he would immediately suffer a gunshot wound, and hurriedly patted off the horse and retreated two steps.

Yamanaka Yukimori gasped for breath and shouted, "Takeda Shinshihiro, who is still powerful!" A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, pointing his gun at Takeda Shinshihiro, and shouting: "Follow me!" As he spoke, completely ignoring the morality of the samurai, Kumagai Naokiyo and more than a dozen other horsemen rushed up and surrounded Takeda Shinshihiro.

Takeda Nobuyoshi never thought that he would encounter such a change, and he also issued the same words as Iitomi Masakakei, "Despicable! "Seeing that Takeda Nobuyoshi was besieged, the Takeda army dared to slack off, and came up to rescue them one after another, which gave other cavalry a chance to kill.

Takeda Nobuyoshi was soon defeated under the shameless and vicious siege of more than ten Date cavalry, and was treated the same as Iitomi Masaka, captured alive, and the Nagasaka Masakuni who was smashed and fainted alive was also not spared, and he was also pulled back.

Not only that, but the more than 200 soldiers of the Takeda Army who came to rescue Takeda Nobuyoshi were also wantonly slaughtered by the cavalry, devouring the lives of the enemy like wolves and tigers.

It was completely dark, and the fighting on the battlefield finally came to an end, and in the end, the Saito army still did not stop the Takeda army that was desperately charging, and under the leadership of Kasuga Masanobu, there were less than 800 people who fled into the continuous mountains.

There were nearly 4,000 Takeda troops in total, and after the impact of Oda Nobunaga, there were still more than 3,600 left, but in one day and one night, only more than 800 of the 3,600 Takeda troops fled into the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many of them could return to their homeland.

When the good news came, it not only made Oda Nobunaga ecstatic, but also frightened Imagawa Yoshimoto, leaving Imagawa Yoshimoto with only one thought: "The Date Army is really here." (To be continued.) )
