Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 913 Eryu (7)
After the smoke rose, Yu Qiuping also led the cavalry team to the battlefield, but they were unable to enter the battlefield because the narrow road was too crowded. The Sanhao Army and Changzong's troops were flanking one on the left and the other in an attempt to break through.
Shimazu Yoshihiro's troops almost crowded the official road and the nearby wasteland. After Shimazu Yoshihiro retreated, they immediately launched a pursuit of the Liaoyuan Bei, Fushu Bei, and Wanjun Bei. They were still blocked behind them, and even more
Not to mention Yu Qiuping, who arrived belatedly. Yu Qiuping led his troops to the high ground in the Sanhao family camp, and asked the guards to set up their own maple bird horse seal formation, urging Chang Zong's army and Sanhao army veterans to
Fight honestly.
After ascending to the mountain, the view suddenly broadened, followed by waves of strange noises.
"What is this?" Yu Qiuping's first reaction when he heard the sound was to turn his head and look towards the forest he had just left, "Are there many monkeys barking?"
"That's not right." After Yu Qiuping listened carefully, he realized that the strange cry did not come from the mountains and forests, but from the battlefield directly ahead.
"It seems like the Shimadzu troops are yelling." Asahina Taihei pointed at the Shimadzu troops struggling to survive in the cracks.
"How can a human make that kind of sound? Like a monkey?" Yu Qiuping looked at the Shimazu army intently and found that every soldier was yelling with a Satsuma accent. The hoarse roars came one after another, and they were actually covered up.
The roar of iron cannons and the sound of swords clashing on the battlefield eclipsed the killing cries of the Miyoshi Army and the Shimazu Army. The 1,000 Shimazu Army shouted louder than the more than 5,000 soldiers of the Miyoshi Army and the Chosoga Army.
The sound was still loud, and their fighting power was obviously as strong as the shouts. They were obviously only 1,000 people, and they were obviously surrounded by the Miyoshi Army and Changzong's army, but the coalition forces could not block their way anyway, so they only
The Shimazu army can be allowed to scurry around in the formation like earthworms, constantly breaking through and killing towards the south.

"Tch, what are they, these Hayatos from Kyushu Island?"
At this moment, Shihe Chunbao was taking the lead in fighting on the front line, but he never stopped complaining for a moment. Shihe Chunbao came from the Sanhao family. Although he was not an aristocrat, he grew up in a wealthy land and accepted the
He has a samurai upbringing and speaks authentic Kinki dialect. When fighting on the battlefield, if the opponent is also a figure dressed as a samurai, even if the situation has fallen into a melee, Tokawa will be there before the fight officially begins or during a brief separation.
State his name - the Kinki samurai opposite him will also report his family name in the same way. Because for samurai, dying at the hands of unknown people is a huge shame, and out of etiquette considerations, the other samurai who is also a samurai should also report his family name.
Avoid falling into such a predicament.
But in this Kyushu, these rules obviously no longer apply.
A Satsuma warrior that Tokawa had just fought against was of the highest quality. Tokawa even suspected that the person facing him was a city lord. If such a person faced him in a rebellious army, he would definitely exchange names.
() was engaged in a one-horse attack. Just as he cleared his throat and was about to call out his name and ask the guards to step back half a step to leave room for a duel, the Satsuma warriors on the opposite side suddenly swarmed forward with a group of his men.
He rushed towards Shikawa Junbo, shouting in Satsuma dialect, which almost deafened Shikawa Junbo's ears.
Shihe Chunbao's men had obviously never seen this kind of fighting method. They were stunned for a moment. It took a moment to react and rescue their highness. If Shihe Chunbao hadn't been so skilled in martial arts, he would have almost been beaten to death by a group of people.
.
"Everyone who comes here has a name!" Although he was very disdainful of the other party's choice to fight in groups instead of single combat, Toga deposits still maintained the demeanor of a samurai, resisting the katana swung by the Satsuma samurai while raising his head
He shouted, "I am the depositary of Shihe Minbu! Who is coming?"
The answer to Shihe Deposit was not a name, but a loud roar——
"Roar!"
The Satsuma warrior shouted at Tokawa with his mouth wide open, and the bad breath emanating from his mouth almost choked Tokawa.
·
Thinking of the bad memories of the previous encounter, Tokawa Junbo was not looking forward to his next confrontation. As expected, the other Satsuma warrior he met this time also did not inform his name, and when he met him, he faced Tokawa.
He Chunbao's face was slashed with a knife.
"Tch, what are they, these Hayatos from Kyushu Island?"
Tokawa Junbo cursed secretly for an unknown number of times, and then deflected the opponent's horizontal slash with his sword. Just as he was about to follow up with a thrust, the Satsuma warrior suddenly roared again, tearing Tokawa's eardrums.
It really hurt, and the stabbing sword lacked some determination. The Satsuma samurai had no intention of blocking, and slashed with the sword again, and Tokawa had no choice but to withdraw his sword and defend himself.
Immediately afterwards, the samurai roared and slashed with his sword again. Shihe deposited the blow with the back of his sword, turned around and prepared for a horizontal slash, but suddenly there was a trace of resistance in his heart - that guy can't
He was about to yell again, and the movements of his hands were also a little deformed. Tokawa's wish came true, and the Satsuma warrior roared again and followed up with a slash, forcing Tokawa to play back again. By this
The roaring made Tokawa uneasy and he failed to perform to his best. He was unable to defeat this samurai who was inferior to him in martial arts.
"You don't block at all?" Shihe Chunbao had figured out the opponent's fighting style while fighting, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Obviously if I didn't stop, he and I would die together, but he
But I’m indifferent…”
Even warriors with extremely high martial arts skills such as Tokawa Junho were in trouble, not to mention the other samurai of the Miyoshi Army and Nagasou's army. The Shimazu Army from Satsuma screamed strangely and went on a rampage, using the genryu that
The four teams, who were unfamiliar with Kyushu's style of fighting, were defeated with a life-saving sword attack that was offensive but not defensive, and could not stop the Shimadzu army who was desperate to break through.
"Hey, brothers, keep going!" At this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro also took the lead. He dismounted and took the lead in charging at the front with a spear, shouting in a chant with a strong Satsuma accent. He saw ten people surrounding him.
After several soldiers from our army, we did not rush to take action. Instead, they held back their strength and roared at them. More than a dozen soldiers were staggered by the loud noise, but Shimazu Yoshihiro immediately
Seizing this opportunity, he stepped forward and stabbed the soldier in front of him with his spear. Then he kicked another ashigaru who was at a loss. The remaining people woke up and were about to fight back. Shimazu
The Hatamoto samurai behind Yoshihiro also followed up with a roar, shaking these soldiers into chaos again. Shimazu Yoshihiro held a spear that could only be used on horseback, and swung it on the flat ground with great force. It should be
The ashigaru of Chosou's army was forced to the point where they couldn't even take a step closer.
"Now, expand!" Shimazu Yoshihiro seized the opportunity and ordered in very brief characters. Behind him, the Hatamoto samurai who had been fighting with him for many years and several generals further away immediately understood and led most of the people to run towards
The opening opened by Shimazu Yoshihiro formed a formation to block an escape route. Upon seeing this, the Shimazu army behind them immediately ran towards the opening, covering each other's retreat, and fought their way out of the encirclement of the Miyoshi Army and Nagasune's troops.
The road of blood flowed away.

"Order to continue the pursuit. We have to fight a lot, but we can't fetch water from a bamboo basket." Yu Qiuping became embarrassed when he saw the battle situation, and immediately ordered the flag bearer, "Even if we can't catch Shimazu Yoshihiro, we must destroy this force."
The fighting soldiers are so powerful that they are the best among the Shimadzu army at first glance. If we can kill them all, it will be a huge blow to the overall combat strength of the Shimadzu army."
After receiving the order, the Miyoshi Army and the Chosoga Army immediately pressed forward with their entire forces. Two groups of banner knights jumped out of the formation and rushed towards the Shimazu Army. The proportion of soldiers and horses in the Shimazu Army was not high and was not enough to cover the entire army.
If the army retreats, it will be dragged down as long as it is overtaken on this flat ground.
"Damn, you were teased so much just now, you're going to have to endure this for a long time." The resentful Tokawa Junbo personally led the Miyoshi family's Hatamoto knights to pursue him, intending to vent his anger on Shimazu's army, "Just
So how can one hundred cavalry stop us from two teams of cavalry flying together on both wings? It can be destroyed in just a few charges."
However, what surprised Tokawa Depository was that when faced with the pursuit of the knights of the Four Nations Allied Forces, the one hundred cavalrymen of the Shimazu Army had no intention of turning back to cover them. On the contrary, dozens of ashigaru were left behind.
"Ashigaru?" Juga was a little surprised when he saw this, "What can dozens of ashigaru do to hundreds of cavalry?"
If it were normal, Tokawa would not even want to take a second look, and would rush towards these dozens of ashigaru with his knights. However, the bad experience of being defeated by Satsuma samurai in the past has more or less affected Tokawa.
Bao made him wonder if the Shimazu army had any other strange tricks to suppress the enemy. So out of caution, he slightly increased his horse speed and looked at the cavalry of Chosou's army beside him and rushed forward without hesitation.
Go up.
Then Tokawa depository was even more surprised to find that the dozens of ashigaru had no intention of forming a formation, but instead sat down one by one - what does this mean? Did they give up resistance? Didn't they even run away?
?
Then, Tokawa Demho saw dozens of Shimazu Army ashigaru men taking off their iron cannons from their backs, lighting match ropes, and sitting there as motionless as meditating, aiming their guns, waiting for the Chosougabe family's attack.
The knight rushed forward.
"Are you crazy?" Shihe depositor's eyes widened in disbelief, "At such a close distance, there is no time to change the ammunition, and the most you can do is shoot one shot... And after the shooting, there is no chance to escape... Or
explain--"
Tokawa Demho guessed what they were thinking from the firm sitting postures of the Shimazu soldiers - they had no intention of leaving alive. The Shimazu soldiers who were dozens of times behind were sitting in a row like that, unswervingly
Welcoming the baptism of two hundred cavalry. They held iron cannons, and no one fired early because of nervousness. They all gritted their teeth until the last moment - until the cavalry's horseshoes almost stepped on their faces, they made a decisive decision.
