Obviously, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko set up a trap and let himself be fooled, and the Port of Kobe was the key for the other party to plot against him. Uesugi Takata figured this out, made a prompt decision, and shouted loudly: "Immediately convey the order and let Zuofang
The formation protects the transport fleet as it leaves the port, and then comes back to assemble after dawn! The remaining transport ships disperse and leave, and then assemble here again after dawn. The right formation meets the enemy, and concentrates all its strength to destroy the invading enemy at sea."
Although there are temporary countermeasures, Uesugi Takata understands in his heart that the enemy is coming well prepared. How can he allow you to retreat at your request? Hearing the increasingly fierce fighting sounds on the shore, Uesugi Takata can only pray in his heart that he will lead the way.
The troops that come can hold out until dawn.
At this time, what Uesugi Takata wanted to figure out most was how the enemy came to Kobe Port without anyone noticing. If it was just to avoid his own spies, that would be fine, but he
However, Fang only raised the alarm when others were fighting in the camp. This situation showed that the enemy came quite secretly, and the people on his side did not have much time to react.
Moreover, the opponent's attack speed was incredibly fast. Within a short while, the camp in Kobe Port was attacked by the enemy. Not to mention that our own side was surrounded, and several camps were lost. Considering the terrain here and the combat effectiveness of our own troops,
, even if the opponent's number is several times greater, they will not be defeated by the enemy so easily. Something else must have happened, which prevented the soldiers on one's side from displaying their combat effectiveness, but what exactly happened? The enemy is
How to do that? Uesugi Takata was very puzzled!?
Uesugi Takata quietly dragged a few corpses over before he could see the appearance of the opponent's soldiers. He was wearing a black bamboo hat on his head, with a strip of cloth hanging on the back of his head, and a black breastplate on his chest, which seemed to be made of thin iron.
Made of black armor, there is a war skirt underneath, mesh black armor and long wrist guards on the arms, a pair of baggy trousers, greaves on the calves, but on the feet there are a pair of
The soles of the straw sandals are stained with a very special red mud, which does not seem to be unique to Kobe Port.
The weapons of these people are basically long spears, but they are very crude. They just put an iron spear tip on a piece of bamboo to make up for it. In the fight with their own side, these spears were not cut at all, so that
I took advantage of it a lot.
Putting down the enemy's spear, he then looked towards the Port of Kobe and saw that there was also constant fighting and shouts of killing. Various fireworks exploded in the sky from time to time, conveying emergency signals. This made Uesugi Takata worried and a little suspicious.
Has the right-wing position been lost? Otherwise, how could the enemy invade Kobe Port?
There was a burst of chirping shouts, and suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps. A large group of An Yan's troops came like a tide, and the bamboo spears in their hands stabbed the camp where Uesugi Takata was. In the dark night, there were no one knows how many there were at that moment.
The enemy only felt that the Yasuhiko army was all around, as if they wanted to crush him. Now Uesugi Takata had only one thought in his mind, and that was to rush out, rush out at all costs, and save his little life!
At this moment, the fleets of Mitsugaya Yoko and Hayashihara Megumi, which were cruising in the distance, already knew that Kobe Port had been attacked and Uesugi Takata was in danger, but Mitsugaya Yoko did not order the fleet to go to support.
The reasons for this are both public and private. As far as Yu Gong is concerned, the Han Dynasty Admiral Gan Ning has sent an order, believing that the port of Kobe is difficult to defend, so that Mitsutani Yoko and Hayashihara Megumi should not act rashly, and wait until the follow-up fleet arrives.
,Personally speaking, Uesugi Takata occupied the Kobe Port first because he wanted to monopolize the Kobe area and prevent others from getting involved.
Kobe Port.
Seeing that failure was a foregone conclusion, Uesugi Takata, eager to save his life, issued the order from behind: "Drop the shields! Set up guns!"
I saw the shield-bearing soldiers and spearmen gathered around Uesugi Takata stepped forward and used shields and steel spears to set up a steel thorn wall. At this time, the enemy was desperately attacking. Although their own side resisted desperately, the opponent's number was at a loss.
There were too many, and there were already signs of breaking through the first line of defense. Moreover, he actually found that the enemy's cavalry appeared. It seemed that the enemy wanted to wait for the infantry to capture their own line of defense before using cavalry to charge into the camp.
In order to guard against this enemy's move, Uesugi Takata used the last reserve force around him - rudimentary heavy infantry. These heavy infantry were developed based on the steel guns and steel armor sent by Uesugi Takata from the Han Dynasty.
The equipment is far superior to that of An Yan's army, which is the most elite force of the Uesugi family.
Except for the shield that is as tall as a person, these Uesugi heavy infantry have other developments. They not only have special iron helmets, but also military uniforms with a relatively high density of steel wires inside, especially the iron spears in the hands of spearmen.
There is a new development, not only the length is increased, but also the tail of the spear is changed into a curved hook with spikes, which makes it easier for soldiers to put the spear on the ground when facing the enemy, increasing the impact against enemy cavalry.
, allowing the warriors to spend more energy on adjusting the defensive angle of the iron spear, without having to consider too much the damage caused to the warriors by the opponent's cavalry impact. It can be said that this is a very big improvement. Originally, this unit was prepared to use
It came to deal with the most elite cavalry of An Yan's army, but unexpectedly it was used at this time.
In a very short period of time, a thorn bush made of steel was formed in front of you. Because it was dark night and the firelight in the distance was not as bright as here, the iron spears painted black were not obvious. The entire steel spear wall seemed to be invisible.
In the darkness, like the rocks on the seabed, in the infinite calm, a death trap has been laid.
The screams and firelights in the distance, accompanied by the bloody night wind, penetrated the nerves of everyone on the battlefield. Normally everyone might be a little surprised, but now too much blood has made people numb, and countless lives have been lost.
The disappearance of the enemy has made people become wild. No matter what the reason is, the offensive side and the defensive side must decide the winner. This cannot be changed, and it is destined that tonight will be a bloody and sleepless night.
The soldier holding the shield lowered his shield, and the crossbowmen hidden behind him passed over the spearmen and aimed at the soldiers of Yamazaki Kuni Yasuhiko's army who were rushing over. At this time, the soldiers at the front could already see the running figure of Yasuhiko's army warriors.
, some Uesugi Army warriors could not help but hold on to their weapons, ready to give them a head-on blow at any time.
Uesugi Takata understood something now. He said to the retainers around him: "When we arrived outside Kobe Port three days ago, the number of enemies should be no less than one hundred thousand, and there should be two secret passages in Kobe Port. Yasuhiro and He had already planned
After this battle, we dug a secret passage and waited for us. In order to hide ourselves, all the warriors put on black clothes and entered our camp through the secret passage at night. Unfortunately, I was too careless and did not notice these details.
As a result, improper precautions lead to such a tragic failure, which is hateful! How hateful!"
When the cavalry of the Hojo Army appeared in the eyes of the Uesugi Army soldiers, the steel spear wall had been erected. As soon as the two sides came into contact, a tragic song of blood and flesh broke out, and the solid and sharp spears easily pierced through.
The opponent's body, fresh blood sprayed on the bright shield, was like a bright red paint, and the solid forest of thorns and spears was like a rock breaking through the waves, blocking the entire torrent of the opponent's cavalry.
The neighing and struggling war horses, the howling soldiers of the Yamazaki Kingdom's Hojo Army hung on their spears, and their masters' weapons were lost before they were used, forming a splendid landscape on the entire shield wall. Even in the dark, everyone
You can all feel the bloody hot and bloody wind blowing in your face, which is so thrilling.
If the shield wall could be thicker, no one would doubt that it could stop the opponent, but unfortunately, it only has such a thin layer. The huge impact of the Yamazaki Province's Hojo Army cavalry kept hitting this shield wall, rolling
Even if the corpse is pierced by a spear, it will still make a loud noise when it lands on the shield wall, causing the entire shield to tremble slightly.
Although the crossbowmen on both sides were trying their best to block the enemy's attack, the cavalry of the Yamazaki Kingdom's Hojo Army seemed to be endless, appearing in an endless stream, fiercely impacting this solid defense line.
Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times...
Countless collisions finally began to crack the solid shield wall, and more and more Uesugi troops began to die under the swords of Hojo cavalry. An Uesugi spearman pierced the chest of a Hojo cavalry, but at the same time,
He was also stabbed by the opponent's saber. A soldier behind him was about to make up for it, but found that the opponent's cavalry's horse's leg had already reached his eyes. When he stabbed the opponent's horse with a knife, the opponent's saber had also fallen from the sky and struck him heavily.
On the helmet.
With a sound of "Cang!", the Hojo Army samurai's horse was stabbed by the Uesugi Army soldier, and then was overturned. Before he could get up, the hoofs of the cavalry behind him had already fallen on his head.
"Pfft!" With a sound, the head of this Hojo Army warrior was trampled to pieces. Maybe when he was dying, he would complain about why he didn't have someone else's helmet. Haha! How ridiculous! How much does a helmet cost? Can he afford it?
?
Even so, it was of no use to the entire battle. Seeing that the shield wall was breached, the infantry warriors of the Yasuhiko Army became even more crazy and attacked the gap with all their might. The desperate resistance of the Uesugi Army warriors could only delay it slightly.
Under the opponent's offensive, with the absolute advantage of numbers, it was only a matter of time that the defense line was broken. The entire position had turned into a bloody slaughterhouse. Blood, severed limbs, internal organs, and heads could be seen everywhere. The soldiers on both sides did not have much else at this time.
Thoughts, either you die or I die, everything becomes very simple!
As time goes by, the physical strength of the Uesugi Army samurai is consumed rapidly, and the constant influx of enemies also puts tremendous pressure on them. The defense lines are constantly being broken through, and more and more Yamazaki Kuni Yasuhiko and Hojo Second Army are
Soldiers poured in, and the Uesugi army showed signs of being divided.
