Seeing the worried Jia Fei Zongyun, Du Fei knew that he was in trouble again.
"Lord, I have received news that the city lords of the remaining cities of the Miyoshi family in Shikoku are trying to form a coalition to fight against you!"
"Allied forces?" Du Fei was secretly glad in his heart: In other words, they will give up defending the city one by one and unite the remaining forces to fight with me? That's exactly what I want!
"Now they have planned to gather in the Shihe City area, and they are expected to launch a surprise attack on us soon! We must be well prepared!" Kai Zongyun seemed to be very afraid of the power of the coalition forces, which made Du Fei very uncomfortable.
untie.
"The coalition forces are only five or six thousand strong. With our strength, why should we be afraid of them? This is actually more beneficial to us! It will save us the effort to attack the city one by one."
Kai Soyun said solemnly: "Sir! You may not know? The person who will lead the coalition this time is Toga Ichitoshi, who is known as the Sanhao Changsheng General! He is a very scary guy! It is said that he was once ten
In the Battle of Magaihara two years ago, six generals of the Yamana family were beheaded! With only a thousand troops, they defeated the Yamana army that defeated tens of thousands of people! It can be said that he is the number one general of the Miyoshi family!"
"He originally competed with Shibata Katsuie of the Oda family in the eastern battlefield, but because my lord you successively captured Amagiri and Shiroji Castle, Miyoshi Nagakei, the governor of the Miyoshi family, was shocked when he heard the news! He went against all opinions.
Moved him over."
Du Fei lowered his head and thought for a moment after hearing this. He knew that Kai Fei Zongyun had always been very arrogant, and someone who could be admired by him must be a powerful character.
dividing line
When everyone in the Sanhao family heard the news of Shihe Yicun's arrival, they suddenly felt excited, and the city lords also felt a sense of relief: they were finally saved.
Early in the morning, the city lords, with their own soldiers and horses, stretched their necks and waited at the entrance of Shihe City.
After waiting for a long time, I saw a black dot appear on the horizon. The small black dot gradually became more and more clear.
It turned out to be just a small boat.
Everyone was disappointed, feeling that a person like Shihe Yicun would never ride on such an unattractive ship. They all sat down one after another.
Unexpectedly, the small boat sailed straight towards them. After it stopped firmly, an old man with white hair and sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes lifted the boat curtain and appeared at the bow of the boat.
"Your Excellency Shihe!" The city lords, big and small, jumped up one after another as if they had been pricked by needles! In an instant, they surrounded Shihe.
"Your Excellency Shihe! Where are the reinforcements?" A city lord's question was quite direct and practical.
Other city lords echoed: "Yes! Sir! The thieves are so powerful! Where are the reinforcements sent by His Highness?!"
Shihe Yicun didn't even raise his eyelids: "All I brought was an order from His Highness! From today on, all the soldiers in your unit will be commanded by me! You are no longer qualified to command soldiers!"
"Ah?~~!!!" Those city lords were stunned for a moment.
"That is to say, from today on, only a few dozen people will be left to guard all the cities, and everyone else will gather in Shihe City!"
"Dozens of people!" Those city lords were shocked again! They had gathered all the soldiers in their city to Shihe City in the past few days. In the end, out of selfish motives, they only transferred half of the troops. They never expected that Shihe City
He Yicun was so crazy! He actually mobilized all the soldiers in the city.
"It would be better to leave only a few dozen people to guard it than to leave no one at all!" A city lord named Hetian Chengyun said: "Isn't this opening the city gate to let the enemy troops in? In case we can't capture the enemy's movements, let the enemy troops come in.
The enemy troops break up into pieces and attack each city, what should we do?"
Shihe Yicun suddenly raised his head and stared straight at him. His sharp eyes made Hetian Chengyun lower his head involuntarily.
"I have my own reasons! Obey the order!" Shihe Yicun seemed to be a strong-armed man at first glance. His words were categorical and there was no room for negotiation.
He carefully counted his army. There were about five thousand people, which was much smaller than Du Fei's army. But he still looked confident.
———————————————————————————
dividing line
In the following ten days, Du Fei also gathered all his troops. He also felt that this opponent was obviously different from the weaker opponents in the past, and he had to go all out!
He took his main force of about 7,000 people and slowly wandered through the central area of Shikoku with twists and turns. He did not set his goal as the opponent's city, but the same goal as Shihe Icun, aiming to eliminate it.
The enemy's vitality!
When the three good troops who were waiting in full formation appeared in sight, Du Fei ordered that the entire army quickly form a black bow formation! Because the terrain here was not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, he adopted this formation that focused on mobility.
However, his opponent Shihe Yicun arranged his infantry square formation into a square shape. The soldiers in his formation were in uniform steps. No one jumped forward and no one fell behind. The entire army was like
A piece of steel plate generally has no flaws at all!
Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw Shihe Yicun's army lineup was so tight. He immediately ordered the long poke hands in the front row to spread out, revealing the fire commander phalanx hidden inside.
After a burst of fire sounds like fried beans, puffs of gunpowder smoke filled the sky above the battlefield.
After the launch, Du Fei's troops discovered that the enemy troops in the front row had raised their shields at some point! They were still marching in uniform steps and moving forward smoothly!
Du Fei saw that the fire commander's troops were no longer needed at this time, so he ordered the front platoon leader to charge in groups immediately!
Due to the rugged terrain here, it was very unsuitable for cavalry operations. This made Du Fei, who was accustomed to using cavalry, fire commanders and infantry, very uncomfortable. He secretly cursed the terrain of this hellish place in Shikoku.
Gradually, he discovered that his long spear soldiers had no upper hand in the battle with the Shihe Army!
Generally speaking, the long poke army armed with advanced weapons can pose a considerable threat to any daimyo's simple cone spear ashigaru anywhere, but not this time!
I saw that the Shihe Army still maintained a smooth formation. They seemed not to mind the Du Fei Army who was swarming in and holding long prods. They just mechanically held the giant shield in front of them.
There was just a burst of crackling noises! There were sounds of weapons hitting shields everywhere! But facing the fierce offensive of Du Fei's army, the Shihe Army had no intention of retreating. It was like a stubborn stone, firmly stuck in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
Du Feijun blocked it like a tidal wave.
"Is this! It's not good!" Du Fei yelled and suddenly woke up, but it was already too late! He saw some throwers holding javelins suddenly appeared from the Shihe Army who were originally huddled like tortoises behind their shields.
The spearmen and the stone throwers came together. As soon as they came up, they threw the sharp javelins and stones in their hands at the unsuspecting Du Fei's spearmen!
Suddenly, numerous soldiers in Du Fei's formation were hit by javelins and stones, and more than a hundred of them were stabbed to death and injured! The soldiers also began to panic, and they began to beat the Shihe Army more crazily who were holding giant shields, but the shields
The remaining three good soldiers were all strong and tall men carefully selected by Shihe Yicun, and each of them had a will as strong as a rock, making the fierce attack of Du Fei's army always as futile as a kitten scratching at the door.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Fei quickly ordered the soldiers from the rear to outflank, trying to disrupt their iron barrel formation by attacking the flanks of the Shihe Army.
However, the soldiers from Du Fei's rear team who circled around to the side found in despair that the flanks were also full of Miyoshi sergeants holding giant shields! It turned out that Shihe Yicun had surrounded his entire formation with soldiers holding giant shields.
!
Du Fei knew very well that the tactics used by Shihe Yicun were similar to the formations used by the Yunnan rebels back then, but the four-sided defense method used by this iron barrel formation was more extreme!
At this moment, the Shihe army began to throw javelins and stones again! Fortunately, Du Fei's army was already prepared at this time, and they also raised their spare infantry shields for defense, and the damage was greatly reduced.
Seeing this scene, Shihe Yicun, who was in the center of the formation, began to wave his command flag, and the soldiers in the command post changed their formation. I saw those soldiers holding giant shields retreating to both sides.
Some soldiers painted all in black and holding extra-long spears appeared in front of Du Fei's soldiers! The soldiers who had originally planned to rush over and let out a breath of bad breath were stunned: This is
"It's the Cang Ghost Army!————" An older soldier screamed! The entire Du Fei army formation moved!
The so-called Canggui Army is an infantry sprint method invented by Shihe Yicun. He painted the armor and faces of these strong soldiers responsible for the sprint black. Firstly, it creates a visual impact on the enemy. Secondly,
, these Cang ghost troops generally hold giant spears about two feet long! And their shoulder armors are connected with iron chains, making their charge unable to be stopped by any force! But this kind of general with ordinary military methods
I dare not use it, because the Canggui Army is connected in rows. Once more than half of the soldiers in the formation are casualties, the entire charging formation will be burdened with huge burdens and cannot move. The remaining soldiers can only
Waiting to die.
Only a crazy coach like Shihe Yicun dares to use it, knows how to use it, and is good at using this life-threatening style of play. He also relied on this style of play to lead the Yamana number with a numerical advantage of more than a thousand Canggui generals.
Kill all the troops!
It was the first time that Du Fei saw such vicious tactics, and he was a little panicked for a moment. At this time, the Cang Ghost Army had already rushed his formation to pieces with thunderous momentum, holding super long giant spears. Du Fei's army
The soldiers were hiding from these black-armored troops who were connected together and holding giant spears like a god of plague!
Suddenly, Du Fei's military formation showed signs of collapse, and many soldiers began to retreat continuously without obeying the command.
At this time, Du Fei killed several fleeing soldiers to stabilize his position. At the same time, he organized his own fire command team into three rows and began to prepare for a round of shooting at the Cang Ghost Army who were charging in series!
"Anyone who dares to retreat privately will be shot immediately!" Du Fei's sharp voice resounded throughout the battlefield! All the fearful soldiers stabilized their trembling calves, held their spears in hand, and began to obey the command.
I saw a tragic scene at this time. Du Feijun in the front row was dead due to the sprint of the Shihe Army Canggui Team, but the soldiers in the back row still resisted the penetrated corpse to prevent it from falling, because that
If so, there will be more penetrations!
The soldiers in the front line used their flesh and blood to block the deadly giant spear of the Cang Ghost Army!
"Front team, disperse to the two wings! Squadron, prepare to fire in turns!" Du Fei gave the order, and the leader immediately waved the flag with all his strength. The front team, which suffered heavy casualties, retreated to both sides as if they had received an amnesty. Those who had lost
The Cang Ghost Army, unable to stop them, immediately rushed impatiently towards the depths of Du Fei's army formation!
At this time, Du Fei personally rushed to the three-row firing formation of the squadron's fire commander and took personal command. He understood that victory or defeat depended on this!
He has been using this formation since he was a teenager. For decades throughout the Middle-Earth, no enemy can ignore his power!
After Du Fei gave the order, three rows of fire commanders began to shoot in turns. After you sing, I will appear. After one row finished shooting, the other row joined in to form a continuous shooting. There was someone behind each fire commander who was responsible for filling in.
medicine.
Those arrogant Cang ghost troops were still clamoring and rushing forward at first, but after the first row was shot to death, the soldiers in the following rows began to be stumbled by the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves scattered under their feet!
The fire struck passionately on their bamboo armor, which was only coated with a thin layer of black paint, and penetrated the bamboo armor and hit their flesh and bones!
Those Cang ghost soldiers who had been so excited to kill just now realized that they were not invincible or invulnerable! They realized the consequences of being connected together. Those companions who were shot to death became their biggest burden, and they could only drag them down.
Follow the corpses until they all turn into corpses
Seeing this scene, Shihe Yicun, whose beard and hair were all white in the distance, couldn't help but shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes: Could it be that my fighting method is out of date?
At this time, the Cang Ghost Army in the back row began to curse, and they began to move out of step. Some rushed forward, while others retreated, as if they were competing with themselves. The result could only be that Du Fei's Fire Tong Lun
He fell into a pool of blood after being hit by a volley from the firing array.
