In the end, the Awaji Navy did not find out who the murderer was. In the end, they threw a pile of baked jade and blew up the small river port. The blazing fire on the river bank seemed to silently condemn the atrocities of the Awaji Navy, and the culprit had already been found.
After a while, the perpetrators also walked away, leaving only the angry people of Mujin River.
This is a huge hornet's nest. Anzhai Dongkang, who is a gangster in the outer sea, has invaded the territory of the inner river very unceremoniously. He obviously did not commit any crime in the autumn and just came to make soy sauce, but now he is massacring the navy on the Mujin River. This
Such an act of betrayal immediately aroused fierce resistance.
So many naval forces operating on the Kizugawa River united, and with the help of the Kira Navy, they launched a large-scale attack on the Awaji Navy the next day. If there were no iron cannons to bake, they would use tachi bows and arrows, and if there were no Anzhai ships, they would use civilian boats.
Early in the morning, and the water quality on the inland river was not inferior to that of the Awaji Navy, and it also had the advantage of a main location. It took advantage of the complex water terrain of the Yodogawa basin to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Awaji Navy.
The Awaji Navy was attacked from both sides and couldn't look at each other for a while. Anzai Fuyang finally saw the crux of the problem and immediately sent an envoy to negotiate 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 deadlock.
At the same time, the Battle of Funaokayama was also slowly kicking off. While the two sides issued orders to move out, the Kira Army, which was the first to advance, responded. Hundreds of archers and ashigaru lined up in a row and sounded their bowstrings, buzzing.
The dull sound caused wooden arrows to fall into the Danba formation. This first round of long-distance throws was just to measure the distance, so when the arrows that lost speed fell into the Danba formation, they only caused some panic.
The bold Tanba people laughed at the strength of the Kira Army's bow and arrow: "Hahaha! This is the bow and arrow of the Shogunate Army? It's so soft that it doesn't hurt at all!"
Naturally, Kira Jun would not react to this kind of useless ridicule. He continued to move forward for a dozen steps. This time, the bow and arrows were replaced by heavier arrows. The lighter the arrows, the farther they shot, while the heavier arrows lacked the ability to travel far enough.
In terms of shooting range, even if you use the high-quality Marubi bow purchased by the Kira family from Sakai Town, you can't shoot farther.
"Fire the arrow!" a hysterical roar.
Hundreds of archers released their bowstrings and flew out quickly under the influence of powerful kinetic energy, turning into black meteors and hitting Naito's army less than eighty meters away. Then the Ashigaru skillfully drew out a heavy weapon.
The arrows are drawn and clasped, and the movements are as uniform as flowing clouds and flowing water. The arrows point straight into the sky. They hover for less than a second and are released again.
Hundreds of heavy arrows streaked across the sky, causing sharp whistling, and the swift and fierce arrows fell like raindrops. The originally neat Naito army fell into chaos in the blink of an eye, and the Ashigaru people huddled together to seek cover and move forward.
After being interrupted, a senior warrior yelled and cursed: "Asshole! Move forward quickly! Don't be stunned! Charge quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, the samurai was pierced by a heavy arrow in the face and fell to the ground dead. The screams broke out uncontrollably. Naito Munekatsu hurriedly ordered: "Archers! Suppress the shogunate army immediately.
The bow and arrow are ashigaru! Take the lead and attack immediately! You must rush over first!"
The ashigaru of the Naito Army pulled up the dilapidated Marubi bows that they had used for hunting in the mountains. They shot the arrows on the bow strings randomly, which was different from the Kira Army's off-the-job training for many years. These ashigaru were temporarily recruited for military service by the people of Tamba.
It was a large army raised by Naito Munekatsu under the temptation of rice. This kind of armed force with the nature of a peasant army is destined to have a major characteristic in itself. It is good at fighting with favorable winds but lacks preparation for headwinds.
The weak counterattack of the Naito Army will naturally not bring 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 volleys, the Naito Army immediately launched the third round of volleys.
During the assault, the archery team had to put away their bows and retreat.
The ashigaru on both sides all flashed their spears, but the Naito Army decisively discovered that the Kira Army's spear was shorter. What's even more strange is that they actually held the spear in one hand and something like a rifle in the other hand.
, the Tanba samurai shouted with confusion and secret joy: "The shogunate army has short guns, attack quickly! Defeat them in one fell swoop!"
"Ha!" The Ashigaru cheered in surprise, and the morale of the Fuji army was greatly boosted. They raised the three guns and rushed in the huge torrent, and launched an attack involuntarily. At this time, the Kira army was also slowly accelerating.
Different from the Naito army, all Ashigaru erected a vine shield covering their torso to face the first round of face-to-face impact.
"Come on!" It had been a while since the formation had stopped moving, and at the moment when the shouts of killing came from the distance, Kira Yoshi, who was sitting in the simple formation curtain, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the flying objects in the distance.
The drummer of the drum set bowed his flag, and at this time Yamamoto Tokiyuki received the first round of real-time intelligence.
"The right wing of Naito's army is Akai, the Ogino family leads the people of the country in the northwest of Tamba, the left wing is the people of the central country led by the Hatano family, and the vanguard is the Moi education department. None of them are Naito Munekatsu's own people.
He is such a cunning person!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile.
"We can't take it lightly, especially these Danbo people are very capable."
"Yeah! The morale of the Hatano family on the left is low. The Akai family and the Monai family are also samurai families affiliated with the Hatano family. It is enough to repel this group!"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Kira Yoshito immediately said: "The red cavalry will attack immediately!"
The situation of the war was indeed as expected. The Tamba army on the opposite side was not strong in morale. Facing the Kira army's gun and shield team, which was comparable to a turtle shell, they were helpless. Every slap of the three long handles fell on the Fujiki shield.
The five-meter-long handle was not suitable for spearing or stabbing. Tamba's ashigaru beat and smashed them for a long time, but no injuries appeared. Fortunately, the opponent's short spear could not stab them either.
, there is this strange phenomenon of being unable to attack and unable to attack on the battlefield.
"What on earth is going on? Why are the shogunate's army equipped with so many rifles?" Naito Munekatsu walked around irritably. When he saw the dumbfounded look of all the countrymen, he became very angry, "What are you still standing there for?"
?If the Ashigaru can't move, retreat and let the samurai attack!"
This style of attacking and defending on one side does not consume the Kira army's physical strength at all, but the ashigaru on the opposite side have experienced varying degrees of strength decline due to nervousness and struggling to beat. When they heard the general's order to retreat slowly, they
He hurriedly retreated. At this time, the Kira samurai, who had been trained for a long time in competition, was keenly aware of the fleeting fighter opportunity. He waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "Now, attack!"
"Ha!" The Gun Shield Team, who had been holding back for a long time, finally showed their terrifying fangs. The Gun Shield Ashigaru, who were holding shields in their left hands and guns in their right hands, accelerated and caught up with the Naito Ashigaru Army who were slowly retreating. Many Ashugaru were still at a loss.
When he was at a loss, he raised his vine shield to block the long handle that was an eyesore, and then raised his spear horizontally to hit it hard.
"Chichi!" sounded like a defeat. The Naito Ashigaru in the first row who retreated in embarrassment became the dead soul of the new army at this moment. The shrill screams of the dead Ashigaru made the foot soldiers in the back row
I can't help but feel creepy.
"Run away!" Someone shouted, and the ashigaru began to retreat without looking back. However, the warriors of the Kira Army showed no mercy. They quickly pulled out their bloody spears and held up their big shields.
Chasing, Naito's samurai drew out their tachis one after another and launched a counterattack against the gun and shield team. Unfortunately, the tachi's slashes on the Fujiki shield had no effect. Instead, they were pierced by the gun and shield ashigaru next to them.
"No chaos! Hold on tight!" In his desperation, Naito Munekatsu ignored the responsibility of the general to take charge of the formation. He picked up his big gun, got on his horse, and shouted: "The samurai of the Naito family will follow me out of the battle!"
Three thousand Naito troops followed suit. Among them were two thousand warriors from the Miyoshi family. They were the elites assigned to him by Miyoshi Nagakei in order to conquer Tamba. Among them were five hundred horsemen, which was more than the more than a thousand warriors brought by the Naito family.
The army needs to be more elite, which is the only trump card in Naito Munekatsu's hand.
"Ha!" The samurai of the Miyoshi family had been impatient for a long time. After hearing this order, they immediately got on their horses and rushed out with Naito Munekatsu. In addition to these five hundred cavalry, the Naito family had fifty more cavalry to return to the samurai. These five hundred
Fifty cavalry is the magic weapon to intimidate the people of Danba.
As soon as Naito's army came out, the retreating Moni army in front began to withdraw to the left wing, making room for the main battlefield.
Monei Jiaye has not shown much face from beginning to end, and has not considered the issue of loyalty on the battlefield. The Tanba people surrendered to the Miyoshi family, not Naito Munekatsu, so they had already lost face by going to the battle, and faced those perverted Kira family samurai.
Fight? His skull is not broken.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who had been watching the movements of the battlefield, suddenly exclaimed: "No! Shiga Bei's attack was too fast, and the formation was out of touch!"
Kira Yoshitoki hurriedly asked: "Where are the Akabi Cavalry?"
"Already out in battle!"
"Then let Otsube attack, and we must get Shigabe back!"
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Just now, it was a miserable defeat. With the decisive short-tailed survival by Monei Gyoye, the space in the middle was freed up for Naito's army. Shiga Bei's attack speed was too fast, and the weakness of the chaotic formation was exposed.
, especially when Naito Sokatsu launched a charge with 550 mounted samurai, Shigabei's defense line began to collapse.
"Oops! It's too late!" Mitsui Yasutaka had just caught up with Shiga Bei when he saw Naito Sokatsu's horse-riding samurai launch an assault, rudely knocking away the hurriedly defending Gunshield Ashigaru, and fired one after another with the spear in his hand.
Every shot would take away a life, and this breakthrough actually killed more than a dozen people.
Under the leadership of Naito Munekatsu, the 550 mounted samurai turned into 550 irresistible monsters. The place where the mounted samurai passed was like a plow, and the big gun swept left and right, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
He Bei's defense line was broken into pieces, as if it were a tattered kettle riddled with holes, not a single intact place. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
