Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 201 Changes in an instant

In the end, the Awaji Navy did not find out who the murderer was, and finally threw a pile of baked jade to blow up the small river port. The raging fire on the river bank seemed to be silently condemning the atrocities committed by the Awaji Navy, and the culprit had long been known. Soon after, the perpetrators also left, leaving only the angry people of Kizugawa.

This is a terrible hornet's nest. Toyasu Antaka, who is messing around in the outer sea, invaded the territory of the inner river very carelessly. He clearly said that Qiu Wuzhen was just here to make soy sauce, but now he massacred the navy on the Kizu River. This inconsequential behavior immediately aroused fierce resistance.

As a result, many sailors active on the Kizu River united, and under the help of the Kira Navy, they launched a large-scale attack on the Awaji Navy on the second day. It was early, and the water quality on the inland river was not bad for the Awaji Navy, and it also had the advantage of home ground. Taking advantage of the complex water terrain in the Yodo River Basin, it played guerrilla warfare with the Awaji Navy.

The Awaji navy was attacked from front to back, and they couldn't look at each other for a while. Toyasu Antaka saw the crux of the matter, and immediately sent an envoy to discuss peace with the people of Kizugawa, but how could the Kira navy let him succeed? The envoy was beheaded on the spot, and the situation inevitably reached a stalemate.

At the same time, the Battle of Funaokayama was also slowly kicking off. While the two sides gave the order to go out, the Kira Army who took the lead in responding, hundreds of archers lined up and pulled the bowstrings, buzzing The dull sound drove wooden arrows to fall into Danba's army formation. This first round of long-distance throwing was just to measure the distance, so when the arrows that lost their speed fell into Danba's formation, it only caused some panic.

The courageous people of Tanba mocked the power of the Kira Army's bow and arrow: "Hahaha! This is the bow of the Shogunate Army? It's soft and doesn't hurt at all!"

For this kind of unhealthy ridicule.Naturally, the Kira Army would not respond.Continue to move forward for more than ten steps, this time the bow and arrow are light and replaced with heavier arrows.The lighter the arrow, the farther it can shoot, but the heavy arrow lacks enough range, even if it is replaced with a high-quality Marugi bow purchased by the Kira family from Sakai, it cannot shoot farther.

"Fire the arrow!" a hysterical roar.

Hundreds of archers Ashigaru let go of their bowstrings, and under the action of powerful kinetic energy, they flew out quickly, turning into black meteors and hitting Naito Junshi who was less than 80 meters away, and then the Ashigaru skillfully drew out a heavy arrow The bow is drawn and the string is drawn, the movements are uniform and uniform like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the arrows point directly into the sky.Release again after hovering for less than a second.

Hundreds of heavy arrows streaked across the sky, with a sharp roar, and the swift and violent arrows fell like raindrops. The originally neat Naito army fell into chaos in the blink of an eye. After being interrupted, a senior warrior shouted loudly: "Bastard! Hurry up! Don't stand still! Hurry up..."

Before finishing the following words, the samurai was pierced in the face by a heavy arrow and fell to the ground. The screams broke out uncontrollably, and Naito Zongkatsu hurriedly ordered: "Archer team! Suppress the shogunate army immediately!" The bow and arrow are light! Take the lead and charge immediately! Be the first to rush over!"

The ashigaru members of the Naito Army pulled up the worn-out Marugi bows that they went hunting in the mountains.Shooting the arrows on the bowstring indiscriminately is different from the off-the-job training of the Kira Army for many years.These ashigaru are temporary military service enlisted by the people of Tamba. They are a large army recruited by Naito Zongkatsu under the temptation of rice. This kind of armed force of the nature of the peasant army is destined to have a major characteristic of themselves, and they are good at fighting with the wind. Lack of preparation for headwinds.

Naturally, the Naito Army's weak counterattack would not cause any trouble to the Kira family, but such a relaxed and happy volley had to end early. After the chaos of the first two rounds of salvos, the Naito Army immediately launched the third round of volleys. Assault, the bow and arrow team had to put away their bows and retreat back.

The ashigaru on both sides all lighted up their spears, but the Naito army decisively found that the Kira army's spear was shorter, and what was even more strange was that they were holding a gun with one hand and something like a rifle in the other. , Danba samurai shouted with puzzlement and secret joy: "The shogunate army has short guns, hurry up and attack! Destroy them in one fell swoop!"

"Ha!" The ashigaru cheered in surprise, and the morale of the Fuji army was greatly boosted for a while. They raised the three guns and charged in the huge torrent, and they couldn't help launching an assault. At this time, the Kira army was also slowly accelerating. Unlike the Naito army, all the ashigaru erected a vine shield covering their torso to meet the first round of face-to-face impact.

"We're fighting!" It's been a while since the formation stopped moving. At the moment when the sound of killing came from a distance, Yoshitomo Kira, who was sitting in the simple formation, suddenly opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the flying waves in the distance. At this time, Tokiko Yamamoto received the first round of real-time information.

"The right wing of the Naito Army is the people from the northwest of Tanba led by the Akai and Ogino families, the left wing is the people from the central part led by the Hatano family, and the vanguard is the department of the Sakai Educational Institute. None of them are Naito Munekatsu's own people. He is such a cunning person!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile.

"You can't take it lightly, especially these Danbo people are very powerful."

"Hmm! The morale of the Hatano family on the left is low, and the Akai family and the Toi family are also samurai families subordinate to the Hatano family. It is enough to repel this way!"

"Then what are you waiting for?" Yoshitomo Kira immediately said, "The red cavalry attack immediately!"

The situation of the battle was indeed as expected. The morale of the Danba national army on the opposite side was not strong. Facing the Kira army's tortoise-like gun shield team, they were a little helpless. In fact, the five-meter long handle is not suitable for stabbing with a spear. Tanba's ashigaru beat and smashed for a long time, but there was not even a single wound. Fortunately, the opponent's small short spear could not stab it. , This strange phenomenon of being unable to fight and attack appeared on the battlefield.

"What the hell is going on here? Why is the shogunate army equipped with so many rifles?" Naito Zongkatsu walked around irritably, and when he saw the dumbfounded expressions of a group of people in the country, he became angry, "What are you still standing there for?" ? The ashigaru guys retreated suddenly and let the samurai charge!"

This style of attacking on one side and defending on the other doesn't consume the physical strength of Kira's army at all, but the ashigaru on the opposite side have already experienced varying degrees of energy attenuation due to nervousness and hard slapping. When they heard the general's order to retreat slowly, they immediately Backed away hurriedly. At this time, Kira Samurai, who had undergone long-term competition and training, was keenly aware of the fleeting opportunity to fight. He waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "It's now, assault!"

"Ha!" The Gunshields who had endured for a long time finally showed their terrifying fangs. The Gunshield Ashgaru, who carried the shield in their left hand and held the gun in the right, quickly caught up with the Naito Ashgaru army who was slowly retreating. When he was at a loss, he lifted the vine-wood shield to block the obtrusive long handle, and raised the spear horizontally to slam it hard.

"Chi Chi!" The sound was like a defeat, and Naito Ashigaru, who was in the first row retreating in embarrassment, became the soul of the new army's gun at this moment. Can't help but creepy.

"Run away!" Someone shouted, and the ashigaru men began to retreat without looking back, but the samurai of Kira's army showed no mercy, and quickly pulled out their bloody spears, holding their big shields against each other. Reluctantly chasing after him, Naito's samurai drew their swords one after another and launched a counterattack against the Gun Shield team. Unfortunately, the Taidao's slashing on the vine shield had no effect, and instead was pierced by the gun shield Ashgaru beside him.

"Don't mess up! Hold on!" Naito Zongsheng was in a hurry, and disregarding the responsibility of the general in charge of the formation, he raised his big gun and got on his horse, shouting: "The warriors of the Naito family will follow me!"

Three thousand Naito troops followed suit, including two thousand samurai from the Miyoshi family, who were sent to him by Miyoshi Changqing in order to attack Tanba. The army is even more elite, which is the only trump card in Naito Zongkatsu's hand.

"Ha!" The samurai of Miyoshi's family had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Hearing this order, he immediately got on his horse and rushed out with Naito Sokatsu. Apart from these 550 horses, Naito's family still had [-] horses to return to the samurai. The [-] horses It is the magic weapon to deter the people of Danbo.

As soon as Naito's army came out, the defeated Yanjing army began to withdraw to the left flank, making room for the main battlefield.

Yanjing Jiaoye didn't show up much from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even think about the issue of loyalty on the battlefield. Their Tamba people surrendered to the Miyoshi family, but they didn't surrender to Naito Zongkatsu. spell?His brain is not broken.

Tokiyuki Yamamoto, who had been staring at the movement of the battlefield, suddenly exclaimed: "No! Shigabi's assault is too fast, and the formation is out of joint!"

Kira Yoshitoki hurriedly asked, "Where are the red cavalry?"

"Already out!"

"Then let Otsu Bei attack, and we must snatch Shiga Bei back!"

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Just now, it was a disastrous defeat all the way. With the decisive short-tailed survival of Yan Jingjiao, the space in the middle was made room for the Naito army. , especially when Sokatsu Naito charged with 550 cavalry samurai, Shigabe's defense line began to collapse.

"Oops! It's too late!" Yasutaka Mitsui had just caught up with Shigabi's tail when he saw Sokatsu Naito's horse-riding samurai launch an assault, slamming away the shield Ashgaru who was in a hurry to defend, and the spear in his hand shot one after another, Each shot will take away a life, and the breakthrough in this breath has killed more than a dozen people.

Under the leadership of Sokatsu Naito, 550 horse-riding warriors turned into 550 irresistible monsters. Wherever the horse-riding warriors passed was like plowing the ground, blood and blood flew across the ground with large guns sweeping left and right, and the entire Shiga defense line was pierced. It was scattered, like a dilapidated jug riddled with holes, with no complete place. (To be continued..)
