Pillars of the Wu family

Two hundred horse-riding warriors in Shigabei were furious, waving their spears and colliding with Naito Zongkatsu's horse-riding warriors. Naturally, Shigabei took advantage of this kind of collision without fancy, but this advantage Very weak, under the absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, it is not even possible to exchange one for one.

Naito Zongkatsu killed the horse-riding warrior who rushed to the front without even blinking his eyes. Looking at the flag seal of the four-eyed knot on this warrior, he knew that this was a warrior from Omi Sasaki's family. From the quality of the armor From the looks of it, he was still a high-ranking warrior at the level of a horse-riding general, but unfortunately, he pierced the Vishuddhi chakra protecting his neck with a single shot. With half of his neck cut off, it was obviously impossible for him to survive.

"Continue to charge!" Naito Zongsheng shouted and continued to charge horses. The number of horsemen behind him had decreased by more than 100. Most of these warriors died when the cavalry clashed. The companions in the back stepped into fleshy mud, and some were lucky enough to survive the cavalry hedge, but an important limb was missing from an arm or thigh, or they were holding their abdominal wounds and tenaciously chasing after the large group of troops.

There is a lack of time and conditions to receive medical treatment on the battlefield, and there is no time for simple bandages. You can only let the blood drip from the broken arm or back, so these people usually don't live long, maybe in the next moment. It will fall off the horse and never get up again.

"Everyone, don't panic, get together! Think about our training steps, put up your shields, and don't let the cavalry charge easily!" Yamazaki Jiamasu shouted hurriedly, watching the old robes fall one by one, his heart seemed to be crushed Do not pierce with a sharp sword.It was completely beyond his expectation that Naito's army had such a tyrannical cavalry warrior.The ashigaru of Shigabei are busy beheading and fighting for merit.He didn't realize that his formation had completely disintegrated. This was his command error.

In fact, the Kira family has already issued an order to strictly prohibit beheading for meritorious service. All beheaded heads will be counted uniformly, and the merits will be calculated according to the performance of their respective troops in the war. However, the customary rules are still maintained, the beheading wraps the head with the flag finger on the back, and if it is a horse Huizhong, wraps the head with the mother's clothes on the back.The general will wrap the head with the flag seal to judge everyone's merit record.

This time, because of Shigabei's light soldiers, he was caught off guard by the Naito army who counterattacked later. When Yamazaki Jiamasu gathered the remnants, he found that there were only 500 people left in Shigabei, and only 800 archers were unable to follow up. Shigabei’s gun shield Ashgaruka cavalry team killed a total of 200 people, and all [-] cavalry team died in battle. More than [-]% of them died in Naito Zongkatsu’s cavalry assault.

Yamazaki Jiamashi was lucky, as an ashigaru general, he did not fight on horseback.Instead, he followed the ashigaru of the battle and walked on two legs, but after escaping the catastrophe.They still have to face even greater troubles. The follow-up Ashgaru troops of the Naito Army have arrived one after another. They are 500 elite Ashgaru. Only rely on the prototype array to block it for a while.

When Shigabei was attacked, Yoshitoki Kira ordered in great annoyance: "The javelin team goes out! The bow and arrow team goes out, shoot the cavalry team of the Naito army to death!"

"Wait! Master, please look over there!" Yamamoto Tokyuki pointed at the red cavalry who came round in the distance, and praised: "This must be Shitara Sadatsu's idea."

Naito Sokatsu led the horse-riding samurai to break through Shigabi, and continued to attack Otsubi, who was gradually approaching, and tried to repeat the old tricks again, but it was a pity that Otsubi's gun shield formation was neat and flawless, and both wings were captured by horsemen at the same time. Under the protection of the samurai, the two hundred bows and arrows from Shigabei gathered behind them, which doubled the number of long-range troops to 400.

The firepower of 400 people is absolutely powerful, especially when facing the Naito cavalry team 50 meters away, the accuracy of aiming and shooting at this distance is very high, and it happens to be the best killing distance for heavy arrows. Said: "Let the arrow!"

"Quick retreat!" Naito Zongkatsu saw that something was wrong, and immediately rode back. The horse-riding warrior behind him reined in his horse and swung his spear to block the bow and arrow falling from the shop. But it was too late, and he was attacked by heavy arrows at close range. It was definitely a devastating blow, especially if their mounts were not armored, they would almost certainly die if they fell on the mounted warriors or horses.

Munekatsu Naito watched helplessly as several Mahui samurai were shot into hedgehogs by dozens of heavy arrows in order to cover his retreat. One of them had at least five or six arrows on his head, and half of his head was thrown off together with his helmet. It sprayed a ghastly mass, splashing all over his armor.

"Retreat! Don't love to fight! Retreat immediately!" He had no time to panic or regret, so he could only retreat back desperately. At this time, the cavalry of Naito's family had been reduced to 230 cavalry, and this rain of arrows took more than 100 lives. .

"What is that?" While retreating, Naito Sokatsu suddenly saw a group of cavalry with bright red armor appearing in front of his eyes. The group of cavalry was as red as a ball of fire, a ball of burning anger, as if to burn the world Everything, the next moment he realized that there was a new trouble, "Not good! They want to cut off the retreat!"

A leading samurai can already be seen waving a red gun and rushing forward. Sokatsu Naito immediately made a decision: "Retreat at full speed! Discard the extra weapons on your body! Retreat at full speed!"

He threw away the big spear that Miyoshi Changqing had given him, and the bowed quiver. If it wasn't for the lack of time, he even wanted to throw away the helmet and armor. Fortunately, dozens of warriors on horseback volunteered He greeted him, blocked the direction of the cavalry, and bought him a chance to escape.

The knight on horseback who rushed to the front suddenly shouted: "I, Takigawa Tokima, want to kill Naito sect better than here! Who dares to stop!"

After all, Takigawa Tokimashi waved the red spear like a giant red snake, swiping it like a rolling red wave, beheading two mounted warriors blocking the way in the blink of an eye, and the moment the horses and men passed by was like a red snake. The thunderbolt shot again, stabbing the neck of the samurai who was charging forward with the gun, and his entire head was cut off. When he passed by, blood sprayed on Takikawa Shimao's body like a fountain.

"Ghost! Ghost!" Naito Fang's horse-riding samurai was really scared.This young man is simply an evil spirit from hell.Yaksha.Killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, which reminds them of the late Oni Shihe. Could it be that the shogunate also produced a ghost general?

"The descendant will not die! Don't get in the way!" Takikawa Shimao yelled, and the sitting horse suddenly exerted force, waving a red gun like a blood snake that chooses someone to eat, and with a sweep, it desperately blocked the way The knight on horseback was cut in half at the waist, and even the armor of the gun was cut with this shot.Not only with the help of the horse's posture, but also with the terrifying physical strength.

This shot is more terrifying than the one just now, and the cut in the middle is a crueler atrocity than beheading. Even in medieval Japan, only forged new katana for the daimyo, and would use the felon to slash like this when trying the sword. Takikawa Tokimashi's shot Cutting, also cutting off the last trace of morale of all Naito's cavalry troops, no one dared to stop him, facing the fierce red cavalry, they dropped their weapons and raised their hands to express their submission.

The red cavalry simply ignored these frightened guys, and they wanted to eradicate Naito Zongkatsu, the culprit, as soon as possible.While riding a horse, Shima Tokatsu bowed his bow and shot an arrow.Yabusame, dog chasing objects, and falcon hunting all have a special requirement, that is, the salvo when running on horseback. The difference is that Yabusame shoots at a fixed target, dog chasing objects shoots moving fighting dogs, and falcon hunting shoots wild boars and wild animals in the forest. Deer, pheasant, hare and other animals.

Shimatoki Katsumoto is a very talented shooter, and at the same time he is very obsessed with objects such as strong bows, horses, and famous guns. The Kira family spared no expense in cultivating him and digging out his riding talent. Kung fu, his level directly surpassed most horse warriors, becoming a first-rate salvo master.

Shima Tokatsu's style is different from Takikawa Tokimashi's passionate. He always bends his bow and buckles his arrows calmly. Every arrow can accurately take away a life. There is also a bag of cast iron feather arrows hanging on each, and there are no less than [-] arrows on the body. It is simply a cold killing machine.

"Good guy! These two boys are so powerful!" Isshiki laughed loudly, and encouraged the red cavalry behind him: "Shima Tokatsu's record has reached 28, surpassing Takikawa Tokimashi's 26! If we If you don’t chase, you will return empty-handed!”

"Rush over! Kill Naito Sokatsu!"

"None of you will try to rob me! Naito Munekatsu's head is mine!" Takikawa Tokimashi's ears are very good, and he can hear the conversation behind him when he is 30 meters away. His statement is naturally caught by the red cavalry. Ignore it, just kidding, how can the credit for beheading the general be taken by you alone, naturally everyone should share it together.

Shile Sadatsu called by name: "Naito Sokatsu is going to escape back to the Ashgaru formation! Don't let him escape! Zuo Kon!"

"Zuo Jin, you can't compete with me!" Takikawa Shiyi yelled anxiously.

Shira Sadatsu scolded with a stern face: "Keijiro! Now is not the time to fight for merit! Zuo Kin shoot him!"

"En!" Shima Tokikatsu snorted softly, calmly pulled out the feathered arrow and pulled the bowstring to the full. A flying black light flew away from the bowstring in the blink of an eye. The square bamboo bow made by Ogasawara's family has unparalleled powerful attack power. With a strong force through Naito Sokatsu's shoulder, let him fall off the horse.

"Haha! The head is mine!" Takikawa Tokatsu made a simple grimace at Shima Tokatsu, and rushed over with a loud shout.

"Stop!" Several voices came at the same time, slowing down Takikawa Tokimashi's pursuit. In addition to Isshiki Takako and Shitara Sadatsu shouting behind him, there were two other voices from Watanabe Takatsuna and Watanabe Takatsuna. Masamari Naito, the two of them led the javelin team and the archery team to come from the main formation. When they saw Sokatsu Naito who fell from the horse with the arrow, they immediately called out the reckless Takikawa Tokimashi.

"Cut! It's over again!" Tokimashi Takigawa looked at more than 100 horse-riding samurai nervously surrounding Naito Sokatsu who was injured and fell off his horse, and had no choice but to ride his horse back bored.

The red cavalry rushed into Naito Ashigaru's army waving their cavalry guns and shouting loudly. The five hundred cavalry rushed into the Naito Ashigaru army with cavalry in their hands. Resisting the attack of the Naito Ashigaru Army, and seeing the imposing assault of the five hundred red cavalry, the morale was boosted and the army led the army to break through under the cover of the red cavalry.

At this time, the news of the successive retreat of the people of Tanba was fed back. Takashima Bei, Katada Bei, and Otsu Bei gathered thousands of troops to encircle them like a huge iron tongs. They watched the flags of Ashikaga fluttering around them and the two flags of Ashikaga. Munekatsu Naito felt extremely desperate when he got up.

Surrounded by a group of cavalry in bright red armor, Yoshitoki Yoshitoki walked slowly to the front of the formation and shouted: "Songkatsu Naito! Immediately order your army to give up resistance and surrender immediately! Do you want them all to be buried with you?"

Naito Zongsheng pushed away the horse that was supporting him and returned to the samurai, staggered to the front of the formation, and when he faced the arrogant Kira Yoshito standing on the horse, he screamed sadly: "Surrender! I surrender!"

In Funaokayama Castle, Hosokawa Motosho warmly resettled the wounded of the Kira Army, and convened a military meeting when he vacated the Ohiro room to Kira Yoshi. Kawato Takashi served as the governor of the Kira family, and his status was not inferior to the deacon of the government office. Therefore, the Kira family agreed to his warm hospitality without refusing.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto took the latest statistics and said: "Takashima and Katada were slightly damaged, and Otsu was not injured. The main loss in this battle was the [-] people who died in the Shiga battle, of which the ashigaru general four People, one general on horseback, more than half of the battle damage."

"This is really an unwarranted disaster. It is obvious that we can win steadily and steadily. Why do some people always disobey orders? What good is beheading? Is the post-war statistics system of our family not perfect enough?" Ji Liangyi occasionally raised his horsewhip on the table in displeasure. , the warriors in the hall could only smile wryly.

Japan’s decapitation system in the Warring States period is the same as the military merit system after the reform of Shang Yang in the Great Qin Empire. The heads are hung on the waist or tied to the horse’s back, and each head can be converted into a reward. This can indeed arouse soldiers’ enthusiasm Combat**, but that's only suitable for more primitive warfare.

After experiencing the development of the Middle Ages, the construction of militarization is getting faster and faster, and the requirements for the combat quality of soldiers are becoming more and more stringent. Steel-like discipline and the awareness of orders and prohibitions are gradually implemented at the end of the command. How bad the consequences will be?

If it is small, it will make the tight front line uncoordinated. If it is large, it will drive other people to follow and cut the head, which will play a leading role. There is always something called "herd mentality" in people. , probably means that if others can do it, so can I!As big as disrupting order and creating crises, as small as all kinds of uncivilized behaviors are inseparable from it, it can be said that it is the most "favorite" existence of human beings. (To be continued..)

ps: For example, the modern Japanese are a group of social creatures with a strong herd mentality. Others can be me, and if someone takes the lead in running a red light, a group of people will immediately follow. This is probably the case.Eh?By the way, I seem to have forgotten to ask for a subscription!
