Three Rivers Butterfly Chapter 202 The Decisive Attack

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shigabei's two hundred mounted samurai were furious, waving their spears and colliding with Naito Sokatsu's mounted samurai. This kind of no-show collision naturally gave Shigabei some advantages, but this advantage  It's very weak. With the absolute disadvantage in numbers, it's not even possible to exchange one for one.  Naito Munekatsu killed the knight on horseback who rushed to the front without blinking an eye. Seeing the samurai wearing the four-eye knot flag mark, he knew that this was a samurai from the Omi Sasaki family. Judging from the sophistication of the armor,  From the looks of it, he was still a high-level warrior at the level of a general on horseback. Unfortunately, his gunshot pierced the throat chakra protecting his neck. Half of his neck was cut off, so it was obviously impossible for him to survive.  "Keep charging!" Naito Sokatsu shouted and continued to charge on horseback. The number of mounted warriors behind him had decreased by more than a hundred. Most of these warriors died in the cavalry confrontation. Some of them stabbed each other in the chest with their spears and fell down together.  They were trampled to a pulp by their companions behind them, and some were lucky enough to survive the cavalry charge, but they were missing an important limb in their arms or thighs, or they were holding on to the wounds in their abdomen while chasing the group tenaciously.  There is a lack of time and conditions for receiving medical treatment on the battlefield, and there is no time for even a simple bandage. They can only let the blood drip on their broken arms or small steps. Therefore, these people usually do not live long. Maybe they will die in the next moment.  You will fall off your horse and never get up again.  "Don't panic, everyone, get together! Think about our training steps, put up your shields, and don't let the cavalry attack easily!" Yamazaki Ietsu shouted hurriedly. Watching the former robes fall one by one, his heart seemed to be broken.  Thousands of sharp swords pierced it.  It was completely beyond his expectation that Naito's army had such a powerful mounted samurai.  The ashigaru of Shigabei were all busy beheading people for credit.  He didn't realize that his formation had completely collapsed. This was a command error on his part.  In fact, the Kira family has already issued an order strictly prohibiting beheading for merit. All beheaded heads will be calculated uniformly, and merit will be calculated according to the performance of their respective troops in the war. However, the Ashigaru who were born in Omi have not yet understood this order deeply.  The impression is that the customary rule is still maintained. When decapitating a person, the head should be wrapped with a flag on the back. If it is a horse Huizhong, the head should be wrapped with the mother's clothing on the back.  The generals would wrap their heads with flag seals to judge each person's merit record.  This time Shigabei's light troops rushed in, and they were caught off guard by the Naito army who counterattacked later. When Yamazaki Ieyoshi gathered the remaining soldiers, he found that Shigabei had only 500 people left, and only 200 archers and ashigaru were unable to do so.  Only after catching up did they escape a disaster. Shigabei's Gunshield Ashgaru and the cavalry team killed a total of 800 people. All 200 people in the cavalry team were killed, and more than 60% of them were killed by Naito Munekatsu's cavalry assault.  Yamazaki Ieyoshi was lucky. As an Ashigaru general, he did not fight on horseback.  Instead, he followed the ashigaru who was fighting on foot and walked on two legs, but after escaping.  They still have to face greater troubles. The subsequent ashigaru reserves of the Naito Army have arrived one after another. They are 2,500 elite ashigaru. With their more than 500 gun and shield ashigaru, they have formed a formation on the spot.  We can only rely on the prototype array to block it for a while.  The moment Shiga Bei encountered the attack, Kira Yoshiki ordered with great annoyance: "The javelin team goes out! The archery team goes out and shoots the Naito Army's horse team to death!" "Wait a minute! Master, please watch.  Over there!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki pointed at the Akabe cavalry coming in a roundabout way and praised: "This must be Shitara Sadachi's idea." Naito Sokatsu led the mounted samurai to break through Shigabe and continued to attack gradually.  Otsubei, who arrived, wanted to repeat his old trick and launch another assault. Unfortunately, Otsubei's spear and shield team formation was neat and flawless. Both wings were protected by horse-riding samurai, and two hundred bows and arrows dropped by Shigabei were gathered behind them.  Ashigaru doubled the long-range troops to four hundred.  The firepower of four hundred men was absolutely powerful, especially when facing the Naito family's cavalry fifty meters away. The accuracy of aiming and shooting at this distance was very high, and it was also the best killing distance for heavy arrows. Otsubei's Ashigaru general immediately  He yelled: "Fire the arrows!" "Quickly retreat!" When Naito Munekatsu saw that something was wrong, he immediately rode back. The horseback samurai behind him reined in his horse and waved his spear to block the arrows falling from the pavement, but it was too late.  Well, being attacked by heavy arrows at close range is definitely a devastating blow, especially since their mounts are not armored. If they almost fall on the body of a mounted warrior, the horse will definitely die.  Naito Sokatsu watched helplessly as several horse warriors 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 skull and helmet were ripped off together.  A bunch of terrible stuff was sprayed out and splashed on his armor.  "Retreat! Don't be reluctant to fight! Retreat immediately!" He had no time to panic or regret, so he could only retreat desperately. At this time, the Naito family's cavalry had been reduced to 230 cavalry. This burst of arrows took away one of the cavalrymen.  More than a hundred 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 raging fire, as if it was going to burn everything in the world. The next moment  He realized there was new trouble, "No!  They want to cut off their retreat!  " You can already see the leading samurai rushing towards him waving a red gun. Naito Sokatsu immediately made a decision: "Retreat at full speed!  Throw away your extra weapons!  Retreat at full speed!  ¡± He threw away the big gun given to him by Miyoshi Changqing, and threw away the quiver with bows. If it weren¡¯t for the lack of time, he even wanted to throw away the helmet and armor together. Fortunately, there were dozens of mounted warriors.  Volunteering to meet him, he blocked the cavalry's direction and gave him a chance to escape. The knight on horseback who rushed to the front suddenly shouted: "I, Takigawa Tokiyoshi, want to kill the Naito clan here!"  Who dares to stop!  " Having said that, Takigawa Shiyi waved his sword like a giant red snake, and swiped it like a red wave. In the blink of an eye, he killed two knights on horseback who were blocking the way. The two men and horses passed each other in the blink of an eye.  The gun was fired again with lightning speed, stabbing the samurai who was charging at the neck, and his whole head was cut off. As he passed by, blood sprayed onto Takigawa Shiyoshi's body like a fountain. "Ghost!"  Ghost!  "Naito Fang's horse-riding samurai are really scared. This boy is simply an evil spirit from hell. Yasha. Killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. This reminds them of the late Oni Juga. Could it be that the shogunate is also involved?  A ghost general can't succeed? "He who surrenders will avoid death!"  Don't get in the way!  "Takigawa Shiyi shouted loudly, and the horse that sat down suddenly exerted its strength, brandishing the Vermillion Spear like a blood snake that chooses people to eat, and swept across the horse-riding warrior in front of him who was desperately blocking the road, cutting him in half.  One shot even cut through the spear and armor. It relied on both the horse's momentum and the terrifying physical strength. This shot was more terrifying than the previous one. Cutting in half was a more cruel atrocity than beheading. Even medieval Japan could only create new ones for the daimyo.  Tachi would only be slashed like this with a felon when testing the sword. Takigawa Tokiyoshi's slashing shot also cut off the last trace of morale of all Naito's horsemen. No one dared to stop him anymore, facing the fierce Chibei  The cavalry dropped their weapons and raised their hands to show their submission. The Akabi cavalry ignored these frightened guys. They wanted to eliminate the culprit Naito Sokatsu as soon as possible.  Dysprosium horses, dog chasers, and eagle hunters all have a special requirement, which is to fire a volley while running on horseback. The difference is that the dynasty horses shoot at fixed targets, the dog chasers shoot moving fighting dogs, and the hawkhunters shoot wild boars and wild deer in the forest.  , pheasants, hares and other animals. Shimatoki Katsumoto is a very talented archer, and he is also very obsessed with strong bows, horses, famous guns and other objects. The Kira family spared no effort to cultivate his horsemanship talent.  After being discovered, in less than two years, his level directly surpassed that of most horseback samurai and became a first-class volley master. Shima Tokikatsu's style is different from Takigawa Tokiyoshi's passionate style. He is always calm.  Bending the bow and clasping arrows, each arrow can accurately take away a life. There are two pots of cast iron feather arrows hanging on the saddle, and there are also bags of cast iron feather arrows hanging on the waist and back. There are no less than eighty arrows on the body.  He¡¯s just a cold killing machine. ¡°Good guy!  These two boys are so awesome!  Isshiki laughed loudly and encouraged the Akabi cavalry behind him: "Shima Tokikatsu's record has reached twenty-eight, surpassing Takikawa Tokimasu's twenty-six!"  If we don't catch up, we will come back empty-handed!  " " Rush over!"  Kill Naito Munekatsu!  " "None of you can compete with me!  Naito Munekatsu¡¯s head is mine!  "Takigawa Shiyi's ears are very good. He can still hear the conversation behind him when he is thirty meters away. Naturally, his statement was ignored by the red cavalry. How can you take the credit for killing the general as a joke? Naturally  I want everyone to share it together. Shitara Sadachi called out: "Naito Sokatsu is going to escape back to the Ashigaru formation!"  We can't let him escape!  Sakon!  " "Sakon, you can't fight with me!  "Takigawa Shiyi shouted anxiously. Shitara Sadachi scolded with a straight face: "Keijiro!  Now is not the time to take credit!  Sakon shoot him quickly!  "    "Um!  "Shima Tokikatsu snorted, and calmly drew out the feather arrow and filled the bow string. A black light flew away from the bow string in the blink of an eye. The square bamboo bow made by the Ogasawara family has unparalleled powerful attack power. The flying arrow with strong  The force penetrated Naito Munekatsu's shoulder, causing him to fall off the horse. "Haha!  The head is mine!  "Takigawa Tokiyoshi made a simple face at Shima Tokikatsu, shouted and rushed over. "Stop!  "Several voices came at the same time, slowing down Takikawa Tokiyoshi's pursuit. In addition to Isshiki Naotaka and Shitara Sadachi shouting behind him, there were two voices coming from Watanabe.Tsuna and Masashige Naito came over from the main formation with their javelin team and archery team. When they saw Naito Munekatsu who had been hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, they immediately called out to the reckless Takigawa Tokimasu.  "Tch! There's no chance again!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi looked at more than a hundred knights on horseback, nervously surrounding Naito Sokatsu, who was injured and fell off his horse, and had no choice but to ride back in boredom.  The Akabei cavalry waved their lances and shouted, charging into Naito Ashgaru's army. The five hundred cavalrymen were like lightning. With their lances, they slashed and slashed through the encircling Naito army. Shigabei relied on the square formation to fight to the death.  After resisting the attack of Naito Ashigaru's army and seeing the powerful attack of five hundred Akabi cavalry, he could not help but feel boosted in morale and led the army to break through under the cover of Akabi.  At this time, the news that the Tamba people were retreating one after another came back. Takashima Bei, Katada Bei, and Otsu Bei gathered thousands of troops and surrounded them like a huge iron pincer. They looked at the flags flying around and the Ashikaga Niyiki two flags. They had just been helped.  Naito Sokatsu got up and felt extremely desperate.  Surrounded by a bunch of cavalry in bright red armor, Kira Yoshishi slowly walked to the front of the formation and shouted: "Naito Munekatsu! Immediately order your troops to give up resistance and surrender immediately! Do you want them all to be buried with you?" Naito  Zong Sheng pushed away the horse that was supporting him and returned to the samurai, staggering to the front of the formation. When he faced Kiragi who was standing on the horse with a proud look, he shouted sadly: "Surrender! I surrender!" Funaokayama Castle, Hosokawa  Momotsune enthusiastically resettled the wounded of Kira's army and held a military meeting when he vacated Ohiro Room to Kira Yoshitsune. Hosokawa Motonsune himself was also an important minister of the shogunate who advocated friendship with the Kira family. His adopted son Hosokawa Fujitaka was in the Kira family.  As the envoy of the commission, his status was no less than that of the deacon of the political office, so the Kira family agreed to his warm hospitality without even refusing.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki took the latest statistics and said: "Takashima and Katada were slightly damaged, and Otsube was not damaged. The main loss in this battle was the 803 people killed in Shigabei, including four Ashigaru generals.  "One man, a general on horseback, lost more than half of the battle." "This is really an unforeseen disaster. We can win steadily, but why do some people always disobey orders? Isn't our post-war statistical system perfect enough?"  Yoshitoki raised his riding whip in displeasure and slapped it on the table. The warriors in the hall could only smile bitterly.  Japan's decapitation merit system in the Warring States Period is the same as the military merit system in the Qin Empire after Shang Yang's reform. The head is hung around the waist or tied to a horse, and each head can be converted into a reward. This can indeed arouse the enthusiasm of the soldiers.  Combat**, but that is only suitable for more primitive wars.  After the development in the Middle Ages, militarization construction became faster and faster, and the requirements for the combat quality of soldiers became more and more stringent. Iron-like discipline and the awareness of orders and prohibitions were gradually implemented to the end of the command. If you leave the line alone and violate military discipline, you will be cut off from the head.  What serious consequences will it bring?  At a small scale, it will cause disharmony in the tight front. At a large scale, it will lead others to follow suit and cut off the heads. This will act as a leader. There is always something called "herd mentality" in people.  , which probably means that if others can do it, then so can I!  From destroying order and creating crises to causing various uncivilized behaviors, it can be said to be the most "favorite" existence of human beings.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: For example, modern Japanese are a group of social creatures with a strong herd mentality. Others can do what I do. If someone takes the lead to run a red light, a group of people will immediately follow.  Running a red light, that's probably what happened. Eh? I seem to have forgotten to ask for a subscription!
