Chapter 40: The Battle of Inari
On September 22, 1556, Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen's younger brother Lin Tongju led a thousand,700 troops to march into Inagohara and launched a military force...
The rain began in the middle of the night, and the water level of the Yudae River next to the Inaeno Prefecture rose, causing the fortifications that Nobunaga, which were about to be completed, to stop.
Therefore, Lin Tongju immediately suggested leading the army to attack, and this proposal was also supported by Shibata Katsuya.
"No matter whether it is the right time, place or people, it is all here!" Lin Tong said confidently.
"When it rains, the iron cannons are completely useless, and Nobunaga's three hundred iron cannons became iron sticks." Lin's retainer Heishiro Kawabai agreed.
However, the general Shibata Katsuya was not as optimistic as them in this battle. The ambushed Samurai Foo was back, but it was not the news that they successfully defeated Tu Bei, but the result of them being defeated by Tu Bei and being able to return ten people in the end.
Regardless of what Shibada Katsuya was thinking, the army he led was moving very quickly. In less than half an hour, they had already seen Oda Nobunaga's military formation set up by Inoi.
The pioneers at the forefront are the dogs. Their unique armor is very easy to recognize. As the two samurai riding horses, Shibata Katsuya also knew - Keijiro Maeda, wearing a crimson two-horned dog, and a dog with a pink three-headed dog.
As for the foot light on the left and right wings, there are weak soldiers that Maeda Kyokino doesn't like. If this is the terrain of the canyon, maybe Ah-dog could use only one hundred dogs to prevent the 1,700 military force. Unfortunately, this is a plain, a battlefield for large troops to fight, a place where more than 10,000 troops can fight, so even if Nobunaga sets up the military formation first, he will not have any advantage.
If those fortifications were completed, Nobunaga would not have such troubles, but the reality did not have if, and the rain caused everything to change...
"Mr. Lin, let's divide our troops to attack." Shibata Katsuya issued such an order after he was almost determined.
"Divide the troops?"
"Yes, when you attack the enemy vanguard from the bottom, you can immediately attack Nobunaga's left wing. Just break Nobunaga's main formation, and that will be our victory."
"Mr. Shibata wants to be a pioneer?" Lin Tong looked at Shibata Katsuya with a little surprise.
"Yes, if you don't press all your feet lightly on them at once, you will only become the dead souls under the sword of Ono Temple, and... there is no samurai among us who can fight with her except in the lower body." Shibata Katsuya looked solemn. He had already regarded Ah Dog as the most important nemesis in his life.
Lin Tonggu chuckled, expressing disdain for Shibata Katsuya's majesty of others before the war, but he also knew Ah Gou's power, and he did not want to become another dead soul under Ah Gou's knife, and he would not object to him.
In this way, Nobusuke, who had already joined forces, was divided into two teams. Looking at the height of the sky, the military forces of Lin Tonggu and Shibata Katsuya showed an escaping attitude towards the military formation set up by Nobunaga.
"Lord, they are divided."
"I know."
Ah Gou has long discovered their weaknesses. If she is surrounded, she will become isolated and helpless as a striker. But she has no way to solve it. It should be said that... she doesn't feel that there is a need to solve it because she has absolute confidence. In this battlefield with up to a thousand people, no one can stand her. Especially now, she has become stronger.
"I can defeat him, no, I should say I will defeat him."
Strangely, Ah Dog has no muscles even after strengthening and training, but in fact her strength is as strong as a sailor who ate spinach. She is as strong as all the adult men in the Tucao. She is only a little weaker than Maeda Kyojiro. You should know that Ah Dog has the second strongest strength in terms of strength, and is even more powerful than Maeda Taki.
——Woo!
The sound of the horn directly started the battle. Shibata Katsuya ordered that other feet except the original team would surge up and attack the forward where Inu Bei was...
If it were normal, this would definitely be said to be a tricky action, but in the eyes of Ah Tuan, this is the best method.
"It's really worthy of Shibata Katsue."
Azuki admired Shibata Katsuya's unreasonable attack, because he not only dared to use a thousand feet to hold him back, but also took advantage of the shortcomings of insufficient number of people and excessive battlefields to respond in a targeted manner.
"Sir Shibata is indeed very powerful. There may be problems in the hall..."
Keijiro Maeda also nodded. He may not know everything about the knowledge of placing troops, managing cities and people, etc., but when it comes to the tentacles on the battlefield, he is definitely not weaker than the Maeda Taki family, and even stronger.
"Don't worry, Nobunaga has a mother-clothed guardian. We just need to break through the military power of Shibata Katsuya." Ah Gou raised his right hand.
"Hmm?" Maeda Keijiro was a little surprised.
"For a powerful opponent, of course, you have to do your best." Ah Dog put down her cover.
"Yes - counterattack!" Maeda Kyojiro also put down his mask and laughed.
"Dog ready to attack!"
Ah Dog shouted loudly, riding a war horse with a hundred dogs ready to leave the formation and attack!
Among the dogs, only Azuki and Maeda Keijiro rode war horses, and the other samurai and samurai ran with their feet. It’s not that Azuki couldn’t afford war horses, but most of these dogs who had only been transformed from farmers into warriors for a year had not yet understood how to ride horses. Without war horses, they were not slow at all, and could even keep up with the war horses that were jogging forward.
At this time, Shibata's foot light shot an arrow immediately, trying to kill the dog on the way to charge.
——Ding Ding Dangdang.
The arrows were useless to hit Tu Bei. They had exquisite armor to block most of the arrows, and the shield in their hands protected the head, and continued to charge without any loss.
I have to say that Ah Gou has no idea about spending money. Under the purpose of her having to be the best, the equipment provided by the dog is definitely the most excellent among all Japanese troops at present. Even if they do not have two sets of armor on them, ordinary arrows are unlikely to make them lose their combat effectiveness. Because each person has a skinned round shield in his hand, as long as he holds it forward and does not have an iron cannon, it will be difficult to defeat them.
Unfortunately, it is raining now and the iron cannon cannot be used...
As for weapons, the dogs not only have a spear and a knife, but also each of them carry a few spears and a small number of hand axes. It can be said that their arms are completely covered from medium to close range, and as long as the opponent enters thirty steps, they will start to receive a blow.
——Swish swish swish swish!
"Oh!"
"mine--"
"What's this……"
The front row of Shibada Katsuya fell down a large row in an instant, because of the spears that suddenly flew over. However, the loss was just a drop in the bucket for the army of 1,000 people. Most of the football still rushed towards the Tubei.
Shibata Katsuya didn't care much. The method of throwing a spear was already available a long time ago, but when the bow and arrow and iron cannon came out, it gradually disappeared. It is true that the power of throwing a spear is terrible. A spear can penetrate several people, but the distance is always a problem. Not all foot lights have the same solid armor as the dog.
"Stay calm! Block them!"
The command is absolute, but the execution is powerless.
After the fight, facing the Tu Bei who didn't shout and scream, the uneasy feeling in Shibata Katsuya's heart magnified...
When Inubei and Shibata's squad are fighting each other, it is as easy as cutting butter with a hot blade.
Not to mention the leader Azu and Maeda Keijiro, who were like the god of killing, did not diminish at all, and the horse rushed in and stabbed it when it opened. Even the Tu Bei behind them could easily expand the crack - the shield blocked the attack of the spear. The Spear in Tu Bei's hand pierced the first encounter foot, and then drew a sword to kill. All the Tu Bei's movements were like flowing water, like professional killing machines.
The light of the gun and foot has been replaced by a knife player!
"We can't let them break through again!" Shibata Katsuya ordered other feet to push forward again.
But when he said this, Ah Gou took all the dogs and made a breakthrough through the striker in the first team, and it was only a while away from Shibata Katsuki.
"Ha ha--"
The dog was laughing, the long sword in her hand was covered with blood - this was the battle she liked.
In the past, the battles that let the war take their time, the vanguards first, the peasant soldiers poke each other, and the vegetarian chickens peck each other, were not at all good. Now, the battles that are surrounded by enemies, and the battles that directly break through the formation are what A-dog pursues!
The fanatical dog is like a ghost possessed by a god!
The dog behind Ahzu was also unstoppable. The second formation was penetrated in a blink of an eye. The samurai among them was also killed by Ahzu and Maeda Keijiro. The only thing that blocked Ahzu was the only samurai samurai in the formation...
"Shibata Katsuya!"
A-dog shouted loudly, tightly clamped the horse's belly, and asked the war horse under his crotch to lift it up again!
Chapter completed!
