The war suddenly turned fierce. The movements of Kira's army directly affected the deployment of Miyoshi's army. Miyoshi Yoshihide's command consisted of 1,500 cavalry, 2,000 iron artillery, 500 banner warriors and 6,000 ashigaru. This was also his
Based on a little information from the Kira Army, the innovation was carried out to transform the wealthy coalition forces into pure military units. This caused considerable controversy, including his brother Miyoshi Nagakei, who held a negative attitude.
However, he still persisted in the reform of the military system, and not long after the establishment, he achieved good performance in the gun battle at the beginning of the year. Therefore, having this powerful combination as a special force is also a powerful move made by Miyoshi Nagakei.
The trick is to hold back Kira's army until his army arrives and encircle him.
When the two sides of the ashigaru collided hard, with spears and shields colliding, the ashigaru of the Kira army raised their hammers and staffs to hit the samurai of the Miyoshi army. It was a good century to explore their skills on the battlefield, and many veterans continued to hammer.
The staff was specially designed to be smashed by samurai. Once it hit, the brains would explode and the red and yellow pieces would fall apart. It was absolutely violent.
Others put on tomahawks and attacked, cutting off three guns with one ax and crashing directly into the Sanhao Army's gun array to start a killing spree. Several fierce generals from Sanhe also took this opportunity to kill all sides, with shrill roars and curses from time to time.
Remember, blood is spraying everywhere, this is a bloodbath without any fancy, only the brave can survive until the last moment.
Some of the Shikoku standing troops of the Miyoshi Army obviously have extraordinary strength. The collective thrust of the three guns almost broke through the Kira Army's defense line in the first round of the assault. At the moment of contact, dozens of them were unprepared in one round of thrusts.
The Kira Kata Ashigaru stabbed them into a hornet's nest, and then they were stabbed to death by the Kira samurai who rushed from the rear with a gun. The whole scene fell into chaos. The samurai and ashigaru were mixed together, and the array undulated like waves.
Tsunaka Ohuchi put on his favorite battle axe. He held a specially weighted vine shield to protect half of his body, and with an accelerating impact, he knocked out a gap in the opposing gun array. He took this opportunity to raise the battle ax and slash at it wantonly.
, no matter whether it is the three guns or the head that is stretched out, there is nothing that can stop this kind of hand-to-hand combat tactics.
Suzuki is different from Tsunaka Ohuchi. He prefers to use an elongated hammer cane. He wears a special leather gauntlet to tightly clasp the hammer handle and smash it, regardless of whether the opponent is a large armor inlaid with iron sheets.
The abdominal roll used in the Chinese medicine will definitely explode as long as it is hit on the head. This guy led more than 20 warriors with hammers and staffs to smash the enemies along the way, and forcefully opened a gap.
The battle situation is gradually moving towards a balance of power, but the outcome is not determined by how many shots of the hammer or how many heads the tomahawk cuts off. The enemy and we are far from having all their cards drawn, and reinforcements are the deadly weapon.
Fresh troops and tired troops after a long battle are completely different concepts. The competition now is whose reinforcements arrive first. Whoever has the initiative on the battlefield will control it.
"Asshole! What happened? What on earth is Rokkaku Yixian doing? It takes so long to walk just a few steps? Did he do it on purpose?"
Kira Yoshitsune was very anxious. Seeing Rokkaku Yoshihide crawling as fast as an ant, he could no longer think of scolding the Rokkaku family for deliberately trapping friendly forces at the expense of others. Nine thousand versus twenty-five thousand, how could one look at such a disparity in a battle?
He couldn't win, but he had to win, because Kyoto behind him needed him to protect it.
"Hosokawa-don led a thousand Hosokawa troops to support!" When a samurai came over to inform Kiragi, he saw the old Chiang Kai-shek Hosokawa Motonsune, who was over seventy years old. At this time, he came over wearing a large armor and a military uniform.
He said directly without any politeness: "His Majesty Kira protects the shogunate. I, Genjo, have always kept this in mind. Today, I, Mototsuji, will lead a thousand troops to stop Miyoshi Changqing for His Majesty Kira!"
"But what about Funaokayama Castle?"
Hosokawa Motonsune said with enthusiasm: "Kyozoden has led a thousand troops to Funaokayama Castle. Please feel free to defeat Miyoshi Yoshiken, Your Highness!"
"As expected! Hosokawa Kyozoden guards Funaokayama Castle..." Kira Yoshi turned his head and looked at the mountain castle on the hillside half a mile away. Sure enough, the Hosokawa family's two lines and two lines were flying, and he sneered: "It's really
Mud can't hold up the wall, that's all!"
"Your Highness, just go with peace of mind! As long as I'm here, I won't let Sanhao Changqing take a step forward!"
Kira Yoshitsune stared at this seventy-year-old man. He could hide in Kyoto and live his life, but now he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of death. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Kawamotsune suddenly laughed and said: "I have reached the age of death even if I live to this age! The only one I care about is Fujitaka. His ability to serve Kira-den is also a blessing for my Hosokawa family... Not much gossip.
I’ve said it! I’ll leave everything to His Highness Kira!”
Seeing the old man walking away quickly, Kira Yoshi remained silent for a long time before saying: "I ordered the entire army to attack and defeat it immediately!"
"Also! Urge the Rokkaku Army again! Tell Rokkaku Yoshihide that our formation will move westward to block Miyoshi Changqing. If the Rokkaku Army cannot arrive in time to resist Miyoshi Yoshihide's main force, all consequences will be borne by the Rokkaku family!" He said here,
Kira Yoshitsune's eyes turned sharp, and several envoys were so frightened that they hurriedly ran out.
Rokkaku Yoshiken was closer but was dilly-dallying, while Miyoshi Chokei's 15,000-strong army, which was farther away, was rushing towards Kira's army. At this moment, there was a sudden cry: "Mikawa is ready to move out!"
The two legions, one black and one red, roared out of the formation like a tiger out of the cage. The main force of the black preparation team was 1,500 people, including the iron artillery team, the archery team, and the javelin team. The red team was equipped with 1,100 grenades.
The team, the spear and shield team, and the red cavalry turned into two long dragons, ignoring the opponent's army that was several times their own and launched an assault forward.
"Assault!" The well-dressed Miyabe Tsugujun brandished the naginata in his hand and killed a Miyoshi samurai who was obstructing him. He called on his monk soldiers to move westward and was incorporated into the stronghold of Katsuda. He had been looking forward to joining the battle with the real sword.
The collision of guns, the last battle at Funaokayama was almost done all the way, and it was not enjoyable at all. Just now he severely chopped off the heads of a dozen Miyoshi samurai, and the troublesome Miyoshi Ashigaru saw him.
Hiding, this feeling is definitely much more refreshing than staying in a temple all day.
"Assault the entire army! Defeat the Miyoshi Army!" Orders were issued from the mouths of the generals of each team. Tokihide Nakajo waved two tachi and played with the two-sword style. He rushed into the ashigaru formation of the Miyoshi Army and easily cut through the armor with his tachi.
The head and broken limbs were scattered everywhere in its path. It seemed like a murderous Asura Yaksha. It made people feel fearful.
At the same time, the flag seal of Hosokawa Motonune's troops moved westward. This Hosokawa army, which only had a thousand men, had the courage to fight to the death, blocking the 15,000-strong army led by Miyoshi Nagakei.
"Gentlemen, please look ahead! That is the tiger and wolf division of Sanzhu!" Hosokawa Motonsune waved the sword in his hand, pointed at the Miyoshi army with forest of flags in the distance, and laughed: "Gentlemen! You have already realized this. Alright?"
Hosokawa's warriors raised their swords and guns one after another and shouted in unison: "We have awakened! We are willing to break for the sake of the shogunate!"
"Then, please join me in going to hell together! I'll see you in Hirazaka!" The white-haired Hosokawa Motonsune whipped his horse, and the horse ran wildly in pain. Behind him were thirty Return to the crowd on horseback. This is the loyal warrior that the Shimoi Izumi family is proud of.
Facing a fifteen-fold disparity in numbers, Hosokawa's army unleashed its strongest force. Hosokawa Motonsune was the first to charge into the formation, waving the sword in his hand, followed by thirty samurai warriors on horseback, and a thousand ashigaru roaring and colliding head-on. , there was a roar and howl immediately, and the Miyoshi army was forced to stop and fight back with all its strength by the sudden attack. As the two wings of the Miyoshi army surrounded them, the Hosokawa army soon gradually disappeared.
Riding his horse, he looked at the Hosokawa Army's flag in the distance and slowly fell. Kira Yoshiki could only sigh: "I'm sorry! Motojo-den!"
Regardless of the Hexagon Army's deliberate deception of friendly forces, the Kira Army's main force, Mikawa Bei, has already fought against the Miyoshi Army. Takigawa Masushige commanded the iron artillery team to fire a salvo immediately. At the optimal killing distance of about fifty meters, Miyoshi's family He was shot without any defense.
The new gunpowder used in the new iron cannon and the improvements in the gun mechanism increase the range and lethality. The effective range reaches an astonishing 80 meters, but the actual optimal killing distance is about 30 to 50 meters. Closer than 30 meters is too dangerous. It's easy to touch our team. The probability of winning 5 million from 50 meters away is basically zero. As for the hit rate beyond the effective range of 80 meters, it is basically zero.
The powerful lethality and accurate sights ensure a very high hit rate, especially for the group of guys trained by Takigawa Masushige who have excellent marksmanship. Five hundred rounds of ammunition were all poured out in a five-stage shooting pattern. At fifty One hundred and twenty people were hit from a distance of one meter. This hit rate is definitely something to be proud of.
"Come on!" After the attack of arrows, the Miyoshi Army was obviously more experienced than before, but they still misjudged the power of the Kira Army's iron artillery team. The moment the powerful new iron artillery roared, the Miyoshi Army's ashigaru was as strong as The cut crops fell to pieces, and the rifles were directly penetrated by the lead bullets and penetrated the ashigaru's body. Within the range of the new iron cannon, all light-armored units could not be killed unless they missed the target.
The sudden shooting did disrupt the Sanhao Army's offensive rhythm, but they were confident that they could catch up and block the iron artillery team before the second salvo. This was a tactic that the West had explored in recent years. As long as one wave of assault forced the iron artillery team to If the team shoots lead bullets, they are no longer a threat. How long can you hold on? Forty meters or thirty meters? As long as you can't help but shoot, you will win.
This is a tried and tested move, but they really thought wrong this time. Before they reached forty meters, another round of thunderous explosions occurred. This time, the distance was closer and the lethality was stronger. This round of volleys The number of people killed has more than doubled. The Sanhao Army still doesn't know that they have entered the forbidden zone of life. The closer they get, the faster they die.
The Ashigaru team was determined to move forward without giving up. As soon as they stepped within thirty meters, they could touch Kira's army at any time, but at this moment they received a new round of attacks, and the rhythmic sound of banging iron cannons Round after round, nearly 400 people were killed this time, and the hit rate was infinitely close to 80%. It was simply ruthless.
They did not expect that the Kira Army's iron artillery team not only had a super fast rate of fire, but also a terrifyingly high hit rate. As long as they were hit by a bullet, they would be either maimed or killed. The fatality rate was especially high. At the maximum firepower point within thirty meters,
There were many incidents where one shot penetrated two people, resulting in as many as 200 people being seriously injured in one salvo.
In the blink of an eye, more than 700 people were killed in battle, and more than 800 people were injured and disabled. In just ten breaths, 1,500 combat casualties were lost. So far, the Miyoshi Army has not touched the Kira Army.
A hair, this kind of blow made the samurai of the Miyoshi family feel depressed and disappointed.
"The Iron Artillery Team fights back!" Miyoshi Yoshihide gave the order with a livid face. A Samyoshi Army warrior ran over and reported: "Lord! The main hall has sent a cavalry team to support!"
"Okay!" Mihaoshi Yixian was overjoyed when he heard this: "This couldn't be better!"
The Miyoshi Army has always had two cavalry teams, one was led by Miyoshi Changqing, and the other was originally led by Shihe Yicun. Because it was severely damaged two years ago, it was transferred to Miyoshi Yixian to rebuild, and Shihe was lost.
The impact of Icun is not only the loss of a powerful general, but also the loss of a general who is proficient in cavalry. The four countries are already short of horses, and the training of horse warriors is all done by Shihe Icun. This remnant tribe fell to Miyoshi Yixian.
After rebuilding in hand, the quality is obviously worse.
However, the cavalry team in Miyoshi Changqing's hands did not suffer any losses. This cavalry team was also an elite trained by Shihe Icun. Not only did it have high morale and well-equipped equipment, the general was also the son of Miyoshi Changhide's younger brother Miyoshi Yori Cheng and Miyoshi Masasu.
The brother's name is Masashige Miyoshi. This group of two thousand mounted samurai is also a trump card in Miyoshi Changqing's hands. Miyoshi Changqing sent him here in advance, apparently hoping to get Miyoshi Yoshihide to use the mounted samurai to coordinate with a group of warriors.
Wave assault destroyed Kira's army.
Immediately without hesitation, Miyoshi Yoshihide ordered: "The cavalry attack! Join the cavalry from Masanori Hall and defeat Kira's army together!"
"Ha!" These horse-riding warriors are all from Awa, descendants of Sanuki's wealthy families. They have highly skilled horses, good training, and sophisticated equipment. They can follow Miyoshi Nagakei out to Kyoto today just to win a share of the merits right away.
, the morale of these samurai is high and eager to fight, just like Mikawa Bei of the Kira family.
"Bang, bang, bang!" At this time, there was another salvo. After the last salvo, the Mikawa Iron Artillery Team took advantage of the white smoke to calmly retreat into the formation. At this time, they died in the iron.
The Miyoshi troops of the artillery team had exceeded a thousand people. At this time, the ashigaru team on the opposite side had already rushed over. The iron artillery team immediately retreated. He did not have to worry about being pursued, because Takashima Bei on the side had already taken the initiative to stop this half-lost army.
The remnants of Sanhao. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
