"It's too strong, there's nothing we can do." Nakamura Yoshinobu was covering his bleeding right arm at this moment, and hurriedly retreated towards the back of the formation. When Tokiwabei began to launch a counterattack, Miyoshi Choitsu's troops, which had suffered heavy losses, were helpless.
The resistance was quickly retreated. Tokiwa Bei obviously suffered casualties, but as if nothing happened, he continued to advance after replenishing the front line. Any samurai who tried to lead his troops to counterattack would be stabbed to death by random guns, even if a gap was opened.
, the persevering Tokiwabei will still immediately make up for it. Nakamura Yoshinobu even had the illusion that the marksmanship of the iron gunners who came up behind the formation was better than these spearmen. The more spearmen they killed and wounded, the more Tokiwabei's guns were.
The more powerful the formation becomes.
Mihao Changyi's men had nearly 30% casualties at this moment. They were being chased and couldn't hold their ground, so they retreated in embarrassment towards Mihaoshi Changyi's horse print. Mihaoshi Changyi felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart at this moment. He also understood that his own
His military talent cannot be said to be great, and it is far inferior to juniors such as Miyoshi Changqing and Shiga Icun. However, after all, he has been on the battlefield for decades, and his soldiers are all good soldiers. During the battle in Kyoto,
With a side attack from Xiangguo Temple, he completely defeated the Allied Northern Route Army, and he enjoyed great glory for a while.
But now, in an upright duel on the frontal battlefield, his troops were defeated without any chance of fighting back. The enemy did not use any conspiracy or tricks, did not rely on much strength advantage, but relied on their spears and their hard work to kill people.
He defeated his troops heartily - and more than half of them were new recruits.
He looked at the red leaf soldiers in front of him, and suddenly an uncontrollable sadness surged in his heart.
"Am I getting old? I can't keep up with the times." Miyoshi Changyi sighed, and said with a sad smile: "If you lose in a head-on battle in front of so many people, your reputation will be ruined. This Yuqiu Hongye has trained a good soldier.
!When I was on the battlefield, he must have been an infant, but I didn’t expect that he would suffer such shame and humiliation today.”
Miyoshi Changyi's troops retreated to resist around his horse seal. Many warriors could not bear the huge casualties and led their men to retreat from both sides of the horse seal. At present, he only had the remaining troops under his command.
There were more than 400 people in disarray. The Miyoshi family's front line was also deeply dented by Tsukiwabei's center breakthrough.
Seeing that the battle situation was not going well, Iwanari Yutong on the right wing immediately pulled out 600 men from his own men to support Miyoshi Choitsu's position. Opposite him, the people from Kitakwanai Province were old rivals with him. As soon as they saw him dividing their troops, they immediately launched a fierce attack.
Iwanari Tomomichi originally planned to lead Hatamoto himself to support Miyoshi Changitsu, but at this moment, he was held back by the people of Kitakawachi Province, so he had to stay to maintain the front line.
"This wave of flank attacks will probably stop the Red Leaf Soldiers." Although Iwanari Tomomichi could not personally direct the attack, he was still full of confidence in the success of the flank attack. He had not sent all his troops to fight before.
The 600 men have been kept just for this time. Tokiwa's attack was too deep. Once encountering a side attack, the position will be in chaos. There may even be a chance to counterattack and directly turn defeat into victory. At that time, Yu Qiuping will have to use the 800 reserve team at hand.
Sent out.
However, when Yu Qiuping saw Iwanari Tomomichi's side attack, he simply waved his flag and did not
There was an intention to change the deployment. Omaezaki Nakahide's company located on the far left - that is, the company closest to the right wing of the Miyoshi family, after receiving Yu Qiupei's order, the entire army immediately stood still. I saw the troops that had been attacking rapidly just now,
It stopped neatly without warning. After a few more simple commands, the troops of this company followed Omaezaki Nakahide's command, with Omaezaki Nakahide as the axis of rotation, as slowly as the spokes on a wheel.
It slowly rotated ninety degrees. From the side facing Iwanari Tomomichi's troops just now, it became a three-line formation facing the enemy head-on.
"Oh my God?" Iwanari Yumichi looked at Tokiwabi's dazzling formation changes and exclaimed: "This! Is this a Noh play? How is it possible to change formations like this!"
Generally, normal troops will choose to slowly retreat and adjust when encountering a flank attack, or have the reserve team at the rear follow up to stabilize the situation. Like Tokiwa Bei, the team relying on the side will directly turn and adjust to respond to the enemy, especially with such a formation change method.
, completely beyond everyone's understanding of the military in the Miyoshi family. These transformations of the Ashigaru's leisurely strolling under Yu Qiupei's military training mode were like a miracle in their eyes.
The 600 men of Iwanari Tomomi were obviously not well prepared. They had already rushed towards Tokiwabei with all their strength. Their formation was a little loose and they did not adjust. At this moment, Omaezaki Nakahide's company turned directly and came forward.
, but they, the sneak attacker, were caught off guard.
With the failure of Iwanari Tomomichi's side attack, Miyoshi Nagaitoshi's collapse was inevitable. He could not support it for long before he had to retreat from the battlefield in embarrassment under the siege of Fukushima Yasunari and Charlie. Miyoshi Yoshihide and Miyoshi Masaru
Kang once tried to rescue, but failed because the terrain near the river bank was too narrow and there was no way to mobilize troops.
As soon as Miyoshi Choitsu withdrew, the battle line of the Miyoshi Army was directly cut in half by the Oda Army. Yu Qiupei ordered Charlie's company to immediately turn east and surround Iwanari Tomotsuchi's headquarters from the rear, and together with Omaezaki Nakahide and the Kitakawachi people, they attacked Iwanari
Tomomitsu. The Fukushima Anchor Division turned west and launched an attack on Miyoshi Yoshiken's main formation at Neyagawa.
·
At this moment, Miyoshi Yoshihide and Miyoshi Masayasu finally broke through the positions of Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide, defeated their troops and drove them off the battlefield. Just when they tried to turn east and attack Ame Qiupei's position, they failed.
They found that two companies of 800 spearmen from Jobanbei were ready. They tried to launch an attack, but were unable to take down the main formation guarded by Jobanbei. At the same time, Fukushima Yasunari's troops had captured the empty main formation of the Miyoshi family.
The retreat route of Miyoshi Yoshihide and Miyoshi Masayasu's troops was cut off.
To the east, two companies of Joban Bei and the Kitakogenoi army had attacked from three sides, besieging and annihilating Iwanari Tomomichi's troops. Iwanari Tomomichi himself was killed by Charlie with an arrow in the chaos, and his troops also surrendered.
After handing over the prisoners to the control of the people of Kitakawachi Province, Charlie and Omaezaki Nakahide led their troops to the Neya River, and gathered the main force of Tokiwabi to encircle and suppress Miyoshi Yoshihide's army.
Miyoshi Nagaitsu, who retreated behind the formation, saw that Miyoshi Yoshihide and Miyoshi Masayasu were surrounded, and hurriedly tried to reorganize his troops to rescue them. When Yu Qiuping discovered his intention, he immediately ordered the cavalry company that was still on standby to attack Aneshan Nobuyoshi.
Under the leadership of the police, they attacked Sanhao Changyi
, giving him no chance to gather his troops. Seeing that the situation was over, Miyoshi Changyi had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers and auxiliary troops to slowly retreat southward and evacuate the battlefield.
At this time, Miyoshi Masayasu was struggling to attack the main formation. However, Fukushima Yasunari's troops were extremely tenacious and refused to retreat. When Charlie and Omaezaki Nakahide's company were about to arrive, Miyoshi Masayasu had no choice but to give up and retake the main formation.
Because he was worried about being surrounded by the river, he had no choice but to lead the Hatamoto samurai and some of his troops to break out of the siege and flee southward.
·
Standing on a high slope, Miyoshi Yoshihide looked at the uncontrollable battle situation in front of him and sighed helplessly. More than a thousand soldiers under his command were surrounded by the Neya River, with the cold river behind them. There was no way to back up the formation.
Unable to mobilize, Jobanbei's morale was high and he had been surrounded. Soon after, the news that Iwanari Tomomichi had been taken away spread throughout the battlefield, which caused the morale of the Miyoshi Army to fall to the bottom.
"Sure enough, you shouldn't be opportunistic." Miyoshi Yixian shook his head mockingly, "I'm still not as good as the eldest brother and fourth brother in commanding the battle formation, and I'm even inferior to the young master. I was outflanked after breaking through from the center, really
You will reap the consequences. If we place our formation in the middle, we can retreat safely even if we are defeated. Unexpectedly, this Tokiwabei's combat power is stronger than I imagined, and Changyi collapsed so quickly."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The Hatamoto samurai under Miyoshi Yoshiken jumped to his feet in a hurry, "I will cover your evacuation. We will fight to the death to see if we can get out!"
"No need, we can't rush out." Miyoshi Yoshiken looked at three platoons of Tokiwabi spearmen guarding his retreat, "If you rush out from a place like that, you will definitely be stabbed to death."
"Your Highness, let's wade through the water and escape." The Hatamoto samurai spoke again, pointing to the cold river water on the west side, "Although it's a bit cold, there's nothing we can do!"
"Do you think it's okay?" Miyoshi Yoshihide chuckled upon hearing this and winked to the north. The Hatamoto samurai hurriedly looked to the north and found that a hundred iron artillerymen had already formed their formation by the river.
Aiming at Neyagawa.
When the Hatamoto samurai saw this situation, his heart dropped. More and more iron gunners were gathering towards that place. If you wanted to wade directly into the freezing-cold river water, you would probably be frozen to death. And if you wanted to
If you want to ride over, it will definitely be very conspicuous and will become the target of iron gunners.
Just when the Hatamoto samurai was thinking hard about how to escape, the war drums sounded again, and the Yuqiu family's army surrounded and suppressed them from all sides. The morale of the Miyoshi Army was on the verge of collapse. They were retreating steadily under the Yuqiu family's attacks, and the encirclement became increasingly dense.
Xiao, some people were about to squeeze into the river. The cavalry of the Yuqiu family rushed to the front of the Mihao family's formation to show off their power, shouting in unison: "Capture Sanhao Shixiu alive! Capture Sanhao Shixiu alive!"
The Hatamoto samurai was extremely angry. Such words to capture Miyoshi alive were an extreme insult to Miyoshi Yoshihide. Just as he was about to lead a group of Hatamotos to fight and defeat the group of mermaids who had humiliated Miyoshi, Miyoshi Yoshihide stood next to him.
But suddenly he burst out laughing, raised his hands high, and smiled at the group of cavalry:
"Don't worry, I can't leave."
