Two hundred and fiftieth chapters thousand cavalry charge(1/2)
Chapter 256 Thousand Cavalry Crustrate
Just the moment Kenshin Uesugi issued an offensive order.
The front row of war horses were spraying white air in their noses, making a whirring sound.
Driven by the warriors, the horses began to start small steps, and then rows of horse riding teams followed step by step.
The horse-riding warrior in the front row clamped the horse's belly with both legs. The horse slowly began to accelerate, and finally ran away from his four hooves.
There was a rumbling sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground on the battlefield, which was a rushing formation of nearly a thousand cavalrymen.
The flag finger behind the horse-riding warrior, with white characters in ink, gradually spread to the maximum and straighten as the war horse accelerated.
Countless flags with "Vi" characters stirred in the air, mixed with the assault of horse-riding samurai wearing black armor. The Echigo army's offensive was like a huge wave, covering the Yixiang Sect disciples from the top of the mountain.
After Echigo's horse riding team, the squad team wearing a formation hat and a small flag also shook their pace and followed the cavalry behind the formation.
Each Echigo's foot slightly shouted and started rushing to the formation.
Honan Temple barely organized several lines of defense, although the monk soldiers and monk officials kept shouting the slogan "If you go further, you will be reborn in the Pure Land, and if you take a step back, you will be in the Avici Hell." However, the disciples had already turned pale when they saw the elite Echigo cavalry.
Especially the disciples in the first row, seeing the Echigo cavalry who were approaching him and were constantly approaching, he knew that he was already unlucky at this moment.
Many people wanted to swallow their saliva, but found that there was no fluid in their mouths and the simple spear in their hands was already unable to hold on.
"kill!"
After the Echigo samurai raced the speed of the war horses to the maximum speed, they immediately faced the disciples of Yixiang Sect in front of them and killed the spear directly.
The moment the two armies approached, it was like a huge wave hitting the reef head-on, shattering each other in an instant.
When the war horses were neighing, the sad roar of the dying person was accompanied by the sound of dull dull objects entering the flesh and the sound of blood squeaking the human body.
The smelly blood just filled the air everywhere in an instant.
During the meeting, Yixiang's disciples who could not hold on to the spear could be rushed to the Echigo horse riding team, and they all penetrated the spear into their bodies first.
As the war horses continue to rush, the spear often penetrates one or two disciples of the always-off sect.
The moment the spear penetrated, Echigo horse-riding samurai abandoned the spear, then pulled out the Taidao from his waist, raised his arms lightly, raised his wrists high, and slashed heavily downwards.
For a moment, the sharp cut of too sharply appeared on the battlefield where the broken limbs and broken arms flew across.
When the war horse flew past, either saw the human body being powerless and was kicked away by the force of the war horse, and was thrown away heavily to the side, or another disciple of the always-killing sect was chopped down by a too-kill sword, and then followed up with the horse-riding warrior to finish the knife behind.
The horse's hooves rolled around, trampling on the city's meat paste with the body or the person who had left half his breath.
Honda Zhengxin, who was watching the battle, chanted the Buddha's name heavily, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch this scene again.
The other generals were stunned when they watched Uesugi Kenshin lead the Qiyuan army to rush forward.
At first, it was incredible that Kenshin Uesugi did not wait to join the military force of the Vietnamese rich clan, and he led only two thousand flag books to make a move to rush forward.
When everyone was shocked to see the Uesugi army rushing all the way and the blockers were invincible.
The 80,000 troops formed by Honanji temporarily pieced together disciples are just a sign of that. When the elite troops under Uesugi Hiroto rushed to the battlefield, they were defeated.
At this time, the main formation of Honan Temple sounded loudly, and Namo Amitabha Buddha's name was called.
The Yiqianyixiang monk soldiers wearing tall wooden clogs, white cassocks, and holding naginata neatly recited the Buddha's name.
The buzzing sound brought a bit of silence to the noisy battlefield.
The Uesugi family's horse riding team was still unscrupulously rushing towards the enemy, and in their eyes the combat power of the monk soldiers was not amazing.
However, when they approached, the first thing they were to welcome them was the intensive shooting of three hundred iron cannons from monks.
Bang! Bang!
There were barrages above the Honanji army formation. The Uesugi family's horse riding team was suddenly hit by iron cannons and caught off guard. They were beaten and overturned.
Then the monks and soldiers held naginata and fought with Uesugi Army.
The monks resisted the Uesugi family's offensive.
Even if the Shan army is good at fighting and has the advantage of numbers above, it will not be able to break through this defense line composed of the most fanatical monk soldiers for a while.
Just as Honanji puts his hopes on the attack of the Uesugi family, he will reorganize the rest of his disciples and attack the Uesugi army's flanks.
There was a change in the battle situation that was not conducive to the Honanji side, and it was the direction of Zishan Castle, which had been besieged.
After seeing Kenshino Uesugi, Kamikaze immediately put all the reserve forces into the counterattack. Under the brave charge, all the Honanji disciples who had attacked Zishan Castle before were all in the castle.
The Chief of the Shenbao family also knew that this battle was related to the rise and fall of the Shenbao family. If it was not won, the reputation of the Shenbao family would be cut off.
So the Chief of the Mitsukoshi immediately gathered all his troops and rushed out to assist the Uesugi army in attacking the besieged army at Honanji.
While the Mitsubo family suddenly entered a counterattack, Shizumaki, the second largest force in Vietnam, was also ready to take advantage of the situation. When he saw that the Honanji was at a disadvantage, he quietly moved the two thousand troops to the flank of the Honanji army formation and suddenly threw all his strength into the attack.
Seeing this, the other rich people in Yue would not miss the opportunity, so as not to be punished by the Mikado family and the Uesugi family afterwards. They immediately took out all their strength and launched an attack on Honkan Temple together.
In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed in an inverted manner, gradually turning into a situation, which was equivalent to concentrating the powerful forces of the Vietnamese family and starting a war against the Honkanji family.
To be honest, the 80,000 troops in Honan Temple have not yet exceeded half of them. How to resist the attack of the Zhongwu family forces in the Joseon Temple has shown signs of collapse in the entire battle situation on Honan Temple.
"Send the order to keep the believers holding on, and do not take a step back. We have the protection of the Dharma and persevere."
After giving these instructions, a feeling of powerlessness attacked the Emperor Sect of Honan Temple. Even he didn't believe this now. He stood on the formation and looked at the scene of falling on the battlefield, and stood there in a daze.
He watched the 80,000 disciples he had worked hard to gather. The disciples begged him for help in a crying cry. The military power collapsed little by little before him. The wealthy families in Yue who were originally not taken seriously by him, instantly turned into wolves like sheep, showing their hideous fangs.
And the culprit of all this is Kenshin Uesugi.
Now his own formation is in danger, and the Uesugi army's offensive is getting stronger and stronger. Echizen has approached the hill where the Honan Temple is located several times, but they are all forced back by monks who fought desperately.
However, the Honan Temple Emperor Xuanzong also knew that even the front line here could not support it for long.
At this moment, he had the intention to retreat at all. As the abbot, he had already made the plan to sacrifice his life for the Dharma.
The more he reached this moment, the more he became calm. When the Honan Temple Emperor Sect gradually lost hope in the battle situation, a series of iron cannons suddenly came from the flank of the Uesugi Army.
Someone is attacking the Uesugi army's flanks to help us.
Thinking of this, the Honan Temple Emperor Zong hurriedly looked at it and saw a monk soldier carrying an iron cannon and holding a naginata attacking the flanks of the Uesugi army.
This sudden attack forced the Uesugi army to shrink its flanks and protect it, thus hindering the pace of the frontal attack on Honganji Main Line.
"The abbot is the support of Kaga's fellow disciples. They blocked the attack of the Uesugi family for us." A monk officer suddenly said to the Honan Temple's Kintosun Temple. He was almost crying with joy.
"Oh, is it Laizhao in the lower house?" Honanji Xuanzong nodded. It seemed that in this moment of crisis, there were still fellow disciples standing by his side.
Honan Temple Xuanzong rekindled hope in his heart, climbed up the mountain, looked around, and ordered the monk officer beside him, "Give me a big splendor, defeat the Buddha's enemy Uesugi Huihu, and destroy the evil..."
Bang!
Just when the words of the Emperor Xuanzong of Honan Temple were normal, there was a sudden sound of iron cannons.
The Emperor Sect of Honan Temple looked at the bleeding wound on his chest, and suddenly his body suddenly fell down from the hillside.
"Abbot!"
"Abbot!"
A bunch of monks and soldiers from the Benyuan Temple rushed to the side of the Emperor Sect of the Honyuan Temple, stood in a row around his outer circle, and used a human wall to block the iron cannon bullets that continued to fire.
But no iron cannon sounded again.
At this moment, the Emperor Xuanzong of Honan Temple looked at the sky with empty eyes and breathed rapidly.
He knew in his heart that there were monks from Honan Temple nearby, and the iron gunners of the Uesugi family could not take this opportunity to approach, and the troops of the Uesugi family did not use iron cannons.
More importantly, the projectile that caused the wound on his chest was shot from behind.
So it is obvious that this shot was done by my fellow disciples of Honanji.
"Beware of...below... swallow... and... me,"
After the Emperor Sect of Honan Temple tried hard to say these words, he died.
Several of the confidant monks of the Xuanzong of the Honan Temple were watching the abbot die, but before he came to the world, he could hear the last few words clearly.
At this time, the flag seal representing Kaga Shimamasa was raised high on the battlefield.
Lai Zhao looked at the chaos on the hillside, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth and whispered: This distance is attacked by iron cannons, and the Xuanzong of Honun Temple will surely die. Once this person dies, the power of the Honun Temple in the Yokoku Temple will have no leader. This will be achieved by integrating the Master of the Dharma Master, the great wish of the Yokoku Kaga family. My Shimashima made this great contribution and will inevitably be rewarded. Maybe my son will become the next abbot of the Shengxing Temple.
Thinking of this, Lai Zhao looked at his son Nakako Shima, who was staring at the battle.
"If this is the case, Lieutenant General Kaga Yuki is in the control of my lower sect. Zhongxiao, now you know that the purpose of passing on the number of beads to you is to hope that you can take this important task. But before this, we must win over the hearts of the people of the same sect of Yue Zhong."
Thinking of this, Lai Zhao climbed up the hillside and shouted with great righteousness: "The abbot of Xuanzong is injured. Don't panic. Please gather together with our army and fight back to the Uesugi army, reverse the situation and avenge the abbot."
After talking about the military situation in the lower side, he bravely moved forward, looking like he was fighting side by side with the monks of Shengxing Temple and preparing to turn the tide.
On the hillside, Li Xiao watched the battle situation under the city. Seeing that Uesugi Hiroto was fighting against Kaga Yuezhong with the power of two thousand troops, all the monks and soldiers of the two groups were not divided.
Li Xiao watched the left and right retainers and were still scared of the fighting power of the Uesugi army.
With two thousand people, he could actually defeat the 80,000 troops. Even Asakura Sect was willing to accept the disadvantage.
Just now, the subordinate came down to report and said, "Lord, the Emperor of Honan Temple was killed by iron cannons on the front line."
"Henanji Xuanzong died in battle."
Li Xiao repeated it, but he was digesting this message in his heart. The Xuanzong of the Honun Temple is the leader of the Yuezhong sect and a monk who can convince the public with his talent and prestige.
