Chapter 1130: The speed of life and death, the master arrives
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Takeda Nobushige also happened to see the empty-handed Cuihua, and couldn't help laughing heartily, and added:
"So what if there are arrows? There are definitely not twenty-seven, right? I, the warriors of the Takeda family, will chop you down before they die!
This is the glory of Kaibi soldiers. Even if they die in battle, they will die with honor. All the people in the territory will know that he died heroically."
Li Ergou and Cuihua stood there, quietly looking at the general named Takeda Nobushige, analyzing the outcome of the battle that was about to be seen.
He is right. Cuihua and Li Ergou without weapons are like tigers with their teeth pulled out. They appear tough but are actually just fake.
"Old woman! It seems we are going to die here."
Li Ergou gazed lovingly at his mother-in-law Cuihua, she actually seemed to be getting better and better!
The appearance of green flowers is getting younger and younger - like roses in full bloom.
"Master, if this is what he said, then our life and death don't matter. We might as well lead them away from the valley, and even more away from the old driver and... the little master!"
The corners of Cuihua's mouth turned up slightly, and she whispered to Li Ergou with a fearless expression.
Li Ergou now expressed his agreement with all the opinions of his wife and Cuihua.
"Cha..."
Li Ergou shook his right hand slightly, revealing a short knife modified with a sickle, and finally threw the scabbard aside.
"Come on! Kill one and you'll get one, kill two and you'll get one."
Cuihua said with a ferocious smile:
"Mom, wait for the soldiers behind you to attack."
Takeda Nobushige listened carefully and struggled to understand what the two people in front of him meant. He turned solemnly and looked at the twenty-seven elite cavalry in front of him, and then raised the folding fan in his hand.
Cavalrymen, now there are only two choices -
Or commit suicide by disembowelment, showing the fearlessness and bravery of a warrior. There will be no shame after death, and the family will be famous for it. There are great benefits!
The terrible thing is that after being humiliated, you did not kill the enemy or yourself. The living samurai will bring trouble to the family and will be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives!
Therefore, seeing Takeda Nobushige being humiliated, the twenty-seven cavalrymen behind him immediately reacted!
They had just been forced to bow their heads and apologize to the two country bumpkins under Takeda Nobushige's strict orders, and now the time has come to pay for the humiliation with blood.
"kill!"
Takeda Nobushige finally made a decisive move!
"ha……"
The twenty-seven cavalrymen agreed at the same time, got on their horses, raised their samurai swords with cold light, and charged towards Li Ergou and his wife...
There were only twenty-seven cavalrymen, but they started to accelerate, and they actually created a powerful momentum of thousands of troops.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
……………………
In Japan during the Warring States Period, cavalry was the contemporary tank, and some famous cavalry teams once shocked the world.
Among them, the most special and fierce one is Takeda Shingen’s family!
The word "Takeda" made the Takeda cavalry possible, and allowed Shingen himself to dominate the archipelago and shock Kyushu.
The Takeda army is organized into squads, and the cavalry spend most of their time in their own squads.
A combat team consists of fifty cavalry, fifty small surname banner headquarters, about four hundred armored infantry, and about four hundred ashigaru and nearly three hundred logistics auxiliary soldiers. The total number is about one thousand two. According to later generations,
The establishment is about the strength of a regiment.
Armored infantry are infantry who wear ordinary armor and have strong combat effectiveness. To put it bluntly, the ashigaru are mercenaries composed of farmers and ruffians. Their weapons are three-meter-long spears.
This kind of battle between Ashigaru is fought in full swing and the shouts are loud. The two sides go back and forth and attack each other for several hours. When the leading generals finish the battle and withdraw their troops, everyone is happy. Why? Because no one died in the Ashigaru battle.
Basically no battle damage.
The Takeda Army is a regiment-level organization. Among them, the only elites who can really charge into battle are the main cavalry composed of mother-in-laws, banners, small surnames, and pure samurai. The total number is between one hundred and one hundred and fifty.
Throughout the entire Sengoku Azuchi-Momoyama period, the cavalry with the largest number was not the Takeda family's cavalry, but the Hojo family's.
According to the same regiment-level organization, the number of cavalry of the Hojo family is about 250, which is far more than the cavalry of the Takeda army.
However, the quality of the Hojo family's cavalry was far behind Takeda Shingen's commanding skills.
The Takeda cavalry's fierce combat qualities and strict discipline are unparalleled in the Japanese archipelago due to their maneuverability and speed. Only three thousand Takeda cavalry can easily defeat the Hojo family's 20,000 cavalry on a frontal battlefield.
……………………
Soon enough, just as the twenty-seven Hatamoto Qingqi led by Takeda Nobushige rushed to the five-meter distance between Li Ergou and Cuihua with their swords, the voice of a messenger came from the rear:
"My lord has arrived, put your sword away and retreat!"
