A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 392 51. Still using the mantis’ arms as a chariot (additional update for Yao Yuyan)

"It was me, Oo Rinemon, who was the first to break into the enemy formation!"

A Takeda samurai wearing red armor, wearing a sun and moon bag, and holding a spear was the first to climb over the low wall.

Nori Takeda personally took action, but he was still trapped in front of the low wall of the small trench. As soon as he met, the armored army rushed in.

"Whoever dares to fight me, I won't kill an unknown person." The red-armored warrior killed one of Xiao Pingtai's iron cannons with one shot.

"The banner of the Yamauchi clan, and the leader of the third division team, Kawabe Iayoshi, came to challenge." Before the Aji people arrived, Yin arrived first.

He stabbed the man with a spear, without any regard for etiquette and morality. It's better to just shoot the person to death and pull him down, that way the whole thing will be over.

But the Takeda samurai was obviously very skilled in martial arts, and all the noisy sounds were mixed together on the chaotic battlefield. However, relying on his intuition from years of fighting, he looked back and directly neutralized Aji's attack.

At this time, the servants of the Takeda samurai also came to kill him, becoming more courageous. The beating left Aji helpless. Fortunately, Qigui came up with a spear to help. Two people fought together and one person was able to stabilize the situation.

If Hei Liu was unsure about this, he would just come up and invite this person to take a shot, but now Hei Liu is guarding the flag, and there is not even a discerning iron cannon ashigaru around.

"The master of Sakakibara, Masuke Nagamasa, came here to ask for advice." Nagamasa Sakakihara, who previously commanded the iron cannon ashigaru, also joined the battle group with his spear raised.

The land behind the low wall is only five or six meters wide, so there is no room for their four guns to play tricks here. The movement forward and backward was greatly restricted, and the Takeda warrior suffered several hidden losses in a short time.

His family members left other soldiers alone and fought desperately to come to the Savior. Fight and retreat, leaning against the low wall and fighting with guns drawn.

Sakakihara Nagamasa was so good at pistol skills, otherwise how could he have taught the son of a fierce general of Tokugawa's double sword. There was no trick at all, just stabbing the Takeda samurai in the lower abdomen. No matter how many ways he came, he only went one way. After a few rounds, that person was finally defeated.

With a "pop" sound, the armor pieces scattered together with the sound of the spear tip piercing flesh and blood.

But after being shot so hard, the man still fought on his own and refused to die. As a result, Aji's second shot quickly hit his thigh again. This time, the two wounds were bleeding.

The warrior then threw himself into the street, and all his family members died in the battle. The mud walls were covered with bright red blood stains, mixed with mud and dirty water, and soon turned into fishy mucus.

The fighting at the mountain pass was fierce, and the Hanaoka City Guards on the mountain also encountered enemy conditions. He could only see the faint figures of Army A at the foot of the hillside and on the mountain road.

In addition to blowing the whistle fiercely, Hanaoka City Guards also knew that there might not be any reinforcements when he saw the fierce battle situation at the foot of the mountain. Loudly encouraging his friends, there is a blood feud and sworn hatred, and everyone is ready to fight to the death.

But the situation was far beyond their expectation. Because it had just rained, the humus layer on the mountain was thick. People who grew up in the Suwa Mountains of Hanaoka City will have their faces covered in mud the next time they fall on the mountain.

What's more, soldiers from other places who are hard-pressed and unfamiliar with the terrain?

The menacing Jia army could only awkwardly hold on to the trees growing in the mountains, and the bamboos climbed up the mountain with difficulty. Not to mention attacking, not one out of ten people can climb up.

As for the person who climbed up, as long as Hanaoka Ichibei used his spear to tap lightly, the person would roll down like a ball.

"This is the first time such an easy battle." Hanaoka Ichibei couldn't help but sigh.

Coupled with the high mountains and dense forests, the Takeda Army's bows and iron cannons could not be used, and they stared at the Hanaoka City Guards who only had about twenty or thirty people on the mountain.

Of course, there are those who do not believe in evil, and there are also those who are courageous. After taking off his armor, he rushed up the mountain wearing cloth clothes and holding a sword. But the fact that the mountain road was extremely slippery would not change. He finally climbed up, but before he could stand firm, he was stabbed to death by Hanaoka Shibei.

The Takeda Army tried to take a detour to attack the mountain, and finally their attempt to outflank Koheita was mercilessly slapped in the face by God.

"Young Master, I'm afraid it won't work." Fanfu Huchang actually knew this thing was going to be bad when he reached the bottom of the hillside.

He was wearing buckskin military boots with specially made uppers and soles, but even so they kept slipping. I could only awkwardly hold on to things and talk to Takeda Yoshinobu.

Takeda Yoshinobu knew that this move would not work just by looking at the setback of the offensive. If it was summer and the weather was dry, this move might be quite good. But now it happens to be the rainy season, and there are even big blisters under these rotten leaves, filled with water.

He watched as a soldier suddenly fell into the water bubbles halfway through. Fortunately, the water bubbles were only about one meter deep. At least the soldier still had his head exposed, so that people could find him and save him.

"Although it seems that a frontal attack by Yamashita is not very effective now, my father sees everything."

Of course Iito Homasa knew that although the offensive at the mountain pass was not completely effective, it was at least useful. They can't even engage in normal battles here, and they've fallen behind.

"Oh, this damn plum rain!" Iito Huchang vigorously patted the big bamboo next to him, and the water on the bamboo fell down, making it boring.

The sky turned dark, and the Takeda army sounded the gong and retreated. It was a melee, with pits and valleys filled with wailing soldiers, most of whom would definitely not survive the night.

Xiao Pingtai supervised the battle with a knife. Fortunately, the Nanman's body was thick and difficult to break. Except for a scratch on his right arm, he luckily had no major injuries.

As for the others, except for Imai Meigoro, whose sword is so airtight that it is difficult for humans and ghosts to enter, almost all of them failed.

Aji's left arm was slapped hard by a pipe gun. Although the bones were probably fine, it was heavily swollen and he couldn't use his strength. It seemed that it was impossible to even fight with a gun.

"Ping Liu, how many are dead and how many are injured?" Xiao Ping Tai was sitting on the cart and could not hide his fatigue. Chen San was bandaging Xiao Ping Tai.

"Basically, not many people died in the battle, only twenty-three people. Only thirty-five people were seriously injured. But almost everyone in the front-line groups was injured, and the weather was humid. I'm afraid..."

Heiroku didn't dare to say any more, but everyone understood what he meant. At this time, if someone's wound cannot be treated quickly and the weather is humid and hot, then it may become inflamed and rotten, and eventually an epidemic will break out.

"Fifty or sixty people have gone now. We only fought for an hour, how can we spend tomorrow?"

Imai Meigoro stuffed a mouthful of rice balls into his mouth, and he expressed all the worries in everyone's heart.

Xiao Pingtai raised his head and looked at the soldiers around him. Fatigue, pain, fear, and fear were all written on his face.

As soon as Takeda Harunobu arrives, it means that 30,000 troops have arrived. Even a miscellaneous soldier knows that Xiaoping only has a few hundred people here.

It's nothing more than a mantis' arm acting as a chariot!
