Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 426 Crossing the Tetori River

With the popularization of hydraulic forging hammers, not only has the iron forging industry ushered in a new round of industrial innovation, but also the speed of ordnance manufacturing has increased geometrically. The armor craftsmen of the Kira family can create stronger and more durable barrels. It saves many steps of traditional craftsmanship, and can freely forge the required parts in the mold. Standardized noodles, throat wheels, and hand armors of different specifications can be realized. The manufacturing cycle has dropped from half a month to an average of one day. More than a dozen sets of cold war after marriage.

The cost of manufacturing armor weapons is much cheaper than before, and what is consumed is not the iron ore of Izumo. The contract signed by the Kira family and the Nizi family includes the provision of maintaining enough iron ore for Izumo. The Kira family can provide The copper coins and rice grains are also very favorable, and this trade has become the only economic pillar of Nizi's family today.

Without resource support, there would be no strength of the Kira Army. Even though Kaga has always had an astonishing number of troops crushed, it is difficult to hurt the Kira Army's cavalry team by half a point.

Among the [-] pioneers, there are only [-] cavalry teams running on two legs, and the rest are all two-legged ashigaru teams. People are also happy to throw the slow-moving foot to Yuguang Numata. Everyone understands that this is the tempering that Tokiyuki Yamamoto gave him as a closed disciple. Do not sell this face.

Numata Yumitsu ordered the ashigaru team to form a square formation to bear the offensive pressure, and behind him, the [-] troops have all landed under the full support of the Kira Navy. He and others led [-] troops to disperse in Ishikawa County and Hebei County to stay behind. They led the [-] troops of Kakizaki Jingjia and Saito Chaonobu to kill Tetorigawa.

The time left for Wakabayashi Changmen is only half an hour.But in this short half an hour, it is impossible for him to use [-] troops to break open the hard shell of Numata Yuguang. Standing army, but it is not something that Kaga has always been able to defeat easily.

If you can't knock it open by yourself, you have to borrow the power of friendly troops.General Nishikoji Shinkyo immediately mobilized 6000 troops to press on Numata Yumitsu with all their strength, and [-] troops overwhelmingly attacked the Ashgaru team with only [-] people. Under the premise of lacking the support of the fortress, it was almost impossible to resist such a powerful attack. Impossible, Numata Yumitsu's level of commanding the army has made a breakthrough, and it is not enough to deal with such a big battle.

He can only use the gun-quilt formation to divide the situation into several closely connected small groups, and then fight and retreat to gain more space for pulling. They rushed up with their own peasants and soldiers, and they were thrown away by the wave-like attacks in the gun quilt array before they persisted for a long time. The sudden change of tactics made them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Attack the flanks! The mounted warriors attack the flanks! No, no! The mounted warriors are back! The black dragoons are coming! How did Echigo get so many black dragoons? Didn't they say there were only five thousand?" Xiguangji Zhenjiao jumped anxiously.But these stupid servants made mistakes repeatedly.If you let them enter, they will not enter, and if you let them retreat, they will not retreat, like a group of old men who wait for a long time before slowly executing the general order. [

There is not a single soldier here who belongs to his own army.And he was temporarily dispatched to take up the temporary command. If it weren't for the fact that there were always too many people in Kaga country, there would be no such thing as a general. He was confident to take over as the general of the temporary army, but when he came here Only then did I realize that I was very wrong.

Kaga's native elites took two points from Sichuan, and the elites from Enuma and Nomi counties in southern Sichuan attacked the Asakura family on the Echizen front all the year round. The elites from Ishikawa and Hebei counties were buried in Etsuchu. Now there is only an army of [-] In fact, it was the remnants of the two northern counties who had fled and the defeated generals, and the relatively weak military combination that remained in the southern two counties and was ranked outside the main force.

The quality of these military forces themselves is not very strong.In addition, Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao is only a general with [-] troops, and he doesn't know how to fight a joint battle with [-] troops. He is in a hurry to command, and it's a joke that [-] troops can't do anything with [-] troops. The [-] cavalry team kept harassing the flanks, and was bitten off if they were not careful. The Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao regretted taking over the duties of the general.

On the surface, the 4 troops led by Yumitsu Numata blocked the [-]-odd army, and the battle was fought with great vigor, but in fact, he knew very well that he was being hypocritical. Months of gun quilt tactics will soon be punctured, these six thousand ashigaru are just bluffing people, they are not really proficient in gun quilts, otherwise they will not only repel the attack of the Yikui army, but should be easy Killing is right.

He didn't dare to stop and confront the Yixiangyikui army, but retreated slowly in an orderly formation. He didn't dare to make an unreasonable posture. Even if it is true, he can't let the [-] go to force the [-]. This is not a broken army when escaping, and there is no need for Numata Yuguang to bring the [-] army to die. Heilong's first wife: Wan Ling Bai Feng.

The defense of the main formation where Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao is located is very complete. Honzhuang Fanchang tried several times to make an assault but was blocked by many snatchers. The three generals of the three-way cavalry scattered to look for opportunities, and quickly gathered when they encountered opportunities to attack. It's really difficult to deal with this kind of tactic, especially when the opponent's army is relatively small in number and elite, it seems to be a headache.

Kaga has always dared not to mess up the army, and he was unwilling to let Numata Yumitsu retreat all the way, gritted his teeth and followed Numata Yumitsu's pace and continued to pursue for a while, Xikoji Zhenjiao realized something was wrong, and secretly pondered: "What does the Kira Army mean by this?" It’s hard work to fight like this! No! It is said that Kira’s army has a total of 1 troops entering Kaga, and the army here is at most [-]. Where did the rest go? Suppression Yiyiyikui from the two northern counties? Seems to be true! But why does the poor monk always think there is something wrong?"

After chasing for a while, this ominous premonition made him a little restless from the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and the whole army turned around and retreated back to Jiansheng Village to stand by. Besides, his idea is not wrong and there is no problem with the order, but the officials are a little unhappy.

The Fang officials who fled from Ishikawa County and Hebei County did not treat the [-] Kira Army with vengeance. The local officials are gearing up and looking forward to making contributions. If they don't take advantage of the rare opportunity of Kira's army, they may not be able to encounter such a good opportunity in the future.

In short, from Wakabayashi Nagato to the ground servants and believers below, they are not very happy to turn the whole army back. They have been in a stalemate for a long time, neither advancing nor retreating. It was only by threatening them that these unwilling officials were persuaded, and the rear of the army turned into a daunting retreat.

Numata Yumitsu was relieved and a little disappointed when he withdrew. After a while, he would reach the riverside of the Tetori River. At this time, the army would almost finish crossing the river. It was a good time to defeat him in one fell swoop. Thinking about it carefully, he smiled. Said: "This is just right, let them retreat slowly, they will be harassing behind them, maybe the speed will be slower, this is also a good time."

The [-] troops stopped retreating immediately, and waited for a short while for Yukiko Numata to send an envoy to deliver information to Tetori River Bank, then regrouped and attacked the retreating Kaga Ichigoku army. Coincidentally, these local officials were not willing to retreat. Seeing that Numata Yuguang did not escape but came back, there was a reason for refusing to retreat, so Wakabayashi Nagatoko turned around and confronted Numata Yuguang with an army of [-].

Honjo Shigecho, Hojo Takahiro, and Kurokawa Kiyomiichi together, killed the three thousand cavalry and made a group to join in the fun again, and the fighting on both sides did not last long, when they heard a rumble With the sound of iron hooves, Kaga Yixiang and Kuijun immediately understood that all these actions of the opponent were just to buy time to wait for the arrival of the main force.

At this time, the officials remembered the existence of such a general, so they ran to Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao for help, and he was so angry that he cursed: "If you tell you to retreat, you will not retreat! How can we retreat when the main force of Kira's army comes!"

"Then what shall we do?" [

The head of the Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao was still very clear, and he immediately said: "Retreat! There is no other way but to retreat! It is too late to turn back and form the team!"

As a result, a group of strange phenomena appeared on the battlefield. Kaga's nearly [-] troops were chased away by [-] ashigaru and [-] cavalry. Xiguang Temple Zhenjiao doesn't care whether he can block the iron hooves of Kira's army, his purpose is only to escape back to Jiansheng village.

The local officials looked back and saw the black Echihou cavalry, their legs were so frightened that some smart guys ran faster and faster when they saw that the situation was not good, and even overtook their allies and ran towards Jianshengzhai desperately. Just now they shouted to annihilate Kira The army's success has changed faster than anyone else at the moment. The officials such as Wakabayashi Nagamon, Hayaya Gozaemon, Takabi Ishimi and other officials still continue to fight, because their residence is on the northern bank of Tetori River. At this time, there is nowhere to go if you withdraw and defend.

Just when the officials in Kaga, who have always been consistent, felt entangled, the main force of Kira's army had quietly arrived.
