Pillars of the Wu family

"Dong dong dong..."

Under the Honjo Castle, the dull military taiko drums rumbled. This was a decisive battle in Shimoetsu. Many people in Xiaetsu sent out warriors, and even the governor personally rushed to the battlefield to observe it, because they realized that this battle might affect something. .

"Will this war change the current stalemate in Shimogoshi?" Nakajo Fujiko glanced at the battle formation assembled in the distance, then looked at the Kira Army with a well-organized military and high morale, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that there is a war in the Wuwei Temple." Bei Jingrui is very powerful, and seeing him today is indeed extraordinary! It is not wrong for Qiandai Inoball to lose to Wuwei Palace!"

One thousand red cavalry, five hundred gun shields blood red as fire, five hundred iron artillery, five hundred heavy rattan bows and five hundred javelins were as black as ink, and one hundred roasters and two hundred horses composed of three thousand The [-] army was extremely magnificent, especially seeing the Teutonic knight in a black cross burqa with a white background, his eyes almost popped out.

There are also five tall and heavy Swiss mercenaries standing at the front of the Gun Shield team. Their shapes are not as exaggerated as the Teutonic Knights, and they are wearing steel breastplates, lined with plate armor, and chains on the inside. A set of armor, holding a halberd and a hammer at the waist, a fan-shaped shield and a two-handed sword on the back, and a heavy pot helmet on the head, which is basically the same as a knight fighting on foot.

"Hehe, Echizen Shouden is an honor." Hearing Nakajo Fujisuke's address to him, Kirayoshi frowned slightly for a moment, and said in a flat tone: "Honjo Shigetsu knows that staying in the city and waiting for death is not an option, so Did you think of a joint battle to determine the outcome? How self-aware!"

"Looking at it from below, Honjo Echizenshou really doesn't know how to advance or retreat! Wuweidian acts as the lord of the country, even if I call you my lord right now! Honjo Echizenshou is still not repenting at this time. He has fallen into evil ways!" Xiao Guozhu Mizu Laijiu tried his best to flatter Dao.Perhaps it was because of seeing how powerful Kira's army was.He was also very excited. He always felt that he was standing in the team. Taking the initiative to stand in the camp of Kira's family was definitely the most correct decision in his life. Judging from the current situation, it is very good to confirm the previous conjecture.

However, his statement still aroused the displeasure of some Yangbei people. Of course, this displeasure cannot be expressed. The Kira family is the Ashikaga family, and wherever they go, they are the most distinguished samurai family.How can they resist the miscellaneous Genji and Ping family, if they cause trouble, and then they are targeted and used to deal with Takahiro Hojo, their Yangbei people don't even have soup up.

While the morale of the more than [-] troops on the Kira side was strong, Daihoji Yoshisou, the reinforcement from the Izuha side, was long in coming. As one of the Izuha Mogami clan's outsiders, the Daihoji clan has been wandering outside the Mogami clan system, and it seems that there is still a bit of a difference the meaning of.

However, the situation has changed in recent years. Since the last word of worship leader Mogami Yoshinori was changed to Dabaoji Yizeng, the situation of the Dabaoji family has changed.It is not surprising that he was encouraged by Mogami Yoshimori to be the pioneer this time, because the Taibaoji clan has always been closely related to the Honjo clan.Honjo Shigecho's mother is Taihoji Yoshizo's elder sister, and as a close relationship with his uncle's relatives, there is no need for Mogami's urging to send troops to help.

Seeing the neat appearance and high morale of the Kira Army on the opposite side, Daihoji Yoshizo opened his mouth wide in surprise: "This is the enemy of Fanchang? How could he provoke such a powerful enemy? It's not that the dragon in Echigo has fallen ill ?"

The samurai of the Daihoji family shook their heads one after another. They have been hiding in the snow-covered Dewa country all year round. They only heard a little about what happened on the other side of Echigo. I have no idea who it is. Dewa Mogami uses the Ashikaga clan flag. Although it looks different in color and style, it seems to be the Ashikaga people who are similar to Mogami.

"How long will it take for the reinforcements from Deyu Palace to arrive?"

"It should be almost here. We entered Echigo territory yesterday. This time, there are two thousand troops led by Toyoka Toyozenshou and Shimizu Hizenshou. They should be able to make a comeback!" said Tosarin Zento, the old writer of the Daibaoji family, who claimed to be Notoshou. It is the Haguro Mountain Betsang in the Dewa country, a big noble family who was once on an equal footing with the Daibaoji family, and was later defeated by the Daibaoji family and surrendered as the elder of the writing family.

"I hope so!" Dabaoji Yoshisou was too aware of Mogami Yoshimoru's paranoid temperament, and he must do it if he is sure of one thing, and he has the momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back. This time, he can use a distress letter to let him The change of mind was also because Mogami Yoshinori felt that it was profitable, otherwise he would not even think about asking for a soldier if he sent a hundred letters.

"Here we come!" Someone yelled, and a group of supreme soldiers with the flags of Maruchi Erinliang and Wusantong came out from the distant mountains and forests. Among them, the Wuoka clan is one of the top eight clans, and the top clan is a descendant of the Oshu Spo family. The Oshu Spo family was originally a branch of the Spo family. That is to say, these two families are branches of the Spo family. .

"Hey! There are so many Nibiri!" The samurai of Kira's family were all happy, and Maruchi Nibiri and Gosantou on the opposite side were quite interesting against Kira's Ashikaga Nibiri and Gosachitou. Bureau, as for what is Maruchi Nibiri, it can only be said that the Nibiri of this family is really different from the Ashikaga General’s. But it is also painstaking to let people know that this is from the Ashikaga family.

"The Mogami family still decided to send troops, what a pity!" Kira Yoshihito shook his head secretly, and was very disgusted at the fact that this Mogami Yoshinori was so ignorant of good and evil, and said in his heart: "I'm not very good at skills, so I have to learn from Takeda Harunobu, Takeda Where is the good home? Is it because there are many murders?"

Seeing Kirayoshi, he had been thinking about it, and Benta was reminding: "Master of the museum! There are 2000 people under the Supreme Army over there. Judging from their variegated flags, they should be the coalition forces of the Supreme Family. Judging from the marching direction of the Supreme Army, it seems to be Heading towards the small right-wing country, Jinjin coalition forces."

"Oops! I have to go back to lead the army!" Xiao Guolai couldn't sit still for a long time. 1000 people versus 2000 people is not a good sign.

Jinjin Yijiu is not as frizzy as Xiaoguo Laiku, he stays with Nagao Jinghu all year round, and he also knows how to get along with superiors.First, he asked Kira Yoshitoki for instructions: "Buweidian. I will take my leave and go back to defend the army!"

Zhongjo Fujisuke also immediately returned to the left wing to hold on.What he was facing was the Kurokawa army where Kurokawa Moriji belonged. The Kurokawa clan was a branch of the Nakajo clan, and the territories of the two families were also next to each other. They usually did not see each other when they looked up, but in the end they turned against each other because of some territorial disputes. It is also an unpleasant thing, so Nakajo Fujisuke's expression is not very happy.

"The [-] Kurokawa Army fought against the [-] Nakajo Army, and the [-] Supreme Army fought against the [-] Xiaoguo and Jinjin Allied Forces. Finally, the [-] Honjo and Dabaoji Allied Forces fought against our Kira Army, one against one? Up and down? This? It's very interesting!" Ben looked at the opponent's match meaningfully for a long time.

This is a typical three-way offensive formation from the left, center and right. There are no crane wings and fish scales, because the allied forces of the powerful clans cannot afford such high-end and high-end things. Not scary, if you want to see whether an army is powerful, you can tell by looking at the messy flag seals.

Of course, this is not always the case. Echigo's miscellaneous soldiers ashigaru themselves have good combat effectiveness, which is directly related to Echigo's sturdy folk customs.Although all indicators of discipline training and morale equipment are scumbag, they are enough for one-third of an acre of land in Echigo country.It may come in handy on larger battlefields in the future.

"There are capable people on the other side! They can come up with strategies in such a difficult situation, but that person still underestimated the strength of my Kira Army!" Yoshitoki Kira laughed.

This is obviously an attempt to use the Kurokawa Army to hold down the Nakajo Army, use the Honjo and Daihoji Allied Forces to hold down the Kira Army, and then strive for the morale of the highest army to use the absolute gap in strength to defeat the Xiaoguo and Jinjin Allied Forces, as long as the other two armies collapse for a while Morale will definitely drop. At that time, it will be the prelude to the Honjo army's counterattack. At that time, the two armies of [-] troops will attack. As long as the Kira army can't hold on and start to retreat, a victory will almost be won.

"From the point of view of my subordinates, the growth of this village must be due to lack of confidence!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go out!"

The conch sounded, and a team of Ashgaru began to advance. The Honjo Army and the Daibaoji Army launched their attacks together, and the military forces were very closely connected. Two rounds of bombardment were carried out, and the sound of the roaring iron cannons shocked the hearts of many descendants. Warriors who had never seen iron cannons stopped their movements and looked carefully at the magical power of these black sticks.

Unfortunately, Honjo Shigecho was in great trouble. The alternate attacks of five hundred iron cannons and five hundred heavy rattan bows were terrifying. The five-stage continuous attack method that the Kira family relied on could seamlessly connect each round of shooting. A rhythmic attack every 8 seconds on average can give the comrades behind enough time to clean up the dregs and reload ammunition, and can maximize the power of this iron artillery team.

It seems that the endless iron cannon attacks are simply fatal, and the deadly attack range within 80 meters is even more forcing the opposing coalition forces to charge forward. Every round of iron cannons will bring huge losses to the Ashgaru team of the Honjo Army. , Nearly 50 people were killed or injured before rushing into 200 meters.

"The bow and arrow team counterattack! Hurry up and counterattack!" Fanzhang Benzhuang yelled like crazy, no one can bear such a heavy loss.

"Fight back!" Daihoji Yoshisou's tolerance was weaker. Although the Kira Army's main attack direction was not theirs, 30 people were killed just by being bombarded by iron cannons. The rain is even worse. It is also a five-stage continuous attack method, and the attack interval of the heavy rattan bow team is even shorter.

It only takes 3 seconds and one round is almost only the effort of stepping, drawing the bow, buckling the arrow and raising the angle to shoot the arrow. Such a fast attack speed can ensure the round after round of arrow rain, and at the same time, it can give the bow and arrow enough rest time.

"It can't be done! More than 50 people were killed and more than 60 people were injured!" Ikeda Sanuki Morimori Kunikyu said.

Dabaoji Yoshinori stared at the Kira Army in front of him, listened to the casualties reported from time to time, and gritted his teeth: "Persist! Hold on! Just wait until we bypass the range of firepower of the Kira Army!"

For the Dabao Temple family, the lethality of the rain of arrows is far more terrifying than that of the iron cannon. Their ashigaru are all light armored units with three guns. They are powerless to resist the attack of the heavy rattan bow. There was a mistake in cooperating with the Dabaosi Army. The Dabaosi Army began to move to the left, trying to avoid frontal damage, while the Honjo Army still maintained the rhythm of the frontal assault and had already rushed into a distance of 30 meters.

"Iron Cannon Team and Archer Team Retreat!" Orders were sent out from the mouths of each group. The Iron Cannon Team and the Ashigaru Team immediately carried their rifles and circled left and right. The Gun Shield Team and Javelin Team gave way from the friendly forces. The air strikes came to the front, and after a short array of preparations, a row of guns was erected high.

Standing among a group of short men in the first row were five tall and burly Swiss mercenaries. They were obviously much taller than the others, and their bright plate armor, shiny breastplate and chain mail looked incomparable. Dazzling, led by the bearded Rupert, shouting incomprehensible slogans, Lin Duanping, the gunman in the front row, confronted the Honzhuang army rushing towards the army. (To be continued..)
