Chapter 1699 The dog father and tiger son are in dire straits
Nagakura of the Satake Army was shot dead by Kai-kun because he underestimated the enemy. Nagakura's reserve team was in chaos and almost collapsed.
Xiaoba of Guanyin Temple was shocked when she heard this. She only had 800 troops in hand. Once Nagakura's 200-odd troops were defeated, the formation would also be in danger.
Now that the incoming enemy had been identified, Koba no longer hesitated. While sending someone to report to Satake Yoshitaka that Koganejo had sent hundreds of cavalry to attack, he personally led the team to prepare to fight against the enemy.
Just when Xiaochang gave the order, the cavalry had already rushed through the last mile and reached the same place as the queue Xiaochang had just left.
In the middle of the night, the two sides fought together. Under the dim lights, the battlefield was everywhere from the streamside to Guanyin Temple.
Fanjun rode on his horse, pierced the enemy general's throat with his spear, and shouted loudly.
"Kai-kun! Where are you!"
His son was still with him just now, but he disappeared after being attacked by several waves of enemies. Fanjun was so worried that he was sweating profusely.
He was originally a newbie in the battlefield, and his first time in the war was a night-time melee.
Even a veteran soldier wouldn't know what to do in this situation, let alone a husband of the Wu family who was raised in a boudoir.
The charge of two hundred cavalry is naturally extremely powerful, but it is troublesome if it is limited to the enemy and is locked in range by the superior infantry with long spears.
At this time, it was all in the dark, and the queue could not be gathered. The knight on horseback could only rely on his martial arts to fight alone. He was completely unable to take advantage of the cavalry, and was gradually divided and chopped down by the enemy.
Fanjun shook his spear and stabbed Ashiqing to death in front of her eyes. The screams and cries of the men of the Wu family kept coming to her ears, which made her feel confused.
Am I going to die here? Son... where are you?
Shigejun was extremely anxious, but Satake Jun's Xiaoba across from him slowly calmed down.
Although the two hundred cavalry were terrifying, the opponents were obviously newcomers to the battlefield, from the generals to the samurai. Especially the men's cries that came from the darkness from time to time made Xiaoba feel confident.
To wipe out two hundred enemy cavalry in a battle, even if it was only a male force, was a great achievement.
Xiaochang couldn't help but smile, thinking that he had a chance to win, but at this moment, the situation suddenly changed again in the darkness.
"Kill! Kill these Satake beasts!"
The shouts coming from all directions shocked Xiaochang into a cold sweat. She suddenly remembered her previous worries and gritted her teeth.
These village untouchables are really desperate, at this critical moment! Bastards!
The men's cavalry, which had been surrounded and divided by Satake's army, received unexpected reinforcements.
The local servants from the surrounding villages mobilized the peasant women, holding torches, hoes and sickles, and rushed to Guanyin Temple from all directions like crazy.
Land is the lifeblood of farmers. Farmers will fight to the death against anyone who dares to flood their fields.
In the Celestial Dynasty, whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster, there were always county officials, together with the country gentry, who would take advantage of the disaster to annex the people's land.
The village's Baojia, landlords, old moneymen, and the adults in the county are all on the same page. They cut the leeks first and then divide the accounts.
The common people were divided into individuals, and there was no one to organize resistance, so they were naturally at the mercy of others. If they couldn't stand it anymore, it was a peasant uprising.
But the island country is different from the Celestial Empire. This is a feudal system. The relationship between the local servants and the subjects is closer, and if one loses, both will suffer.
The officials of the Celestial Dynasty are in charge of the emperor's world, and they use public funds for private purposes. They are greedy for money and enrich themselves without any psychological pressure.
The emperor is rich all over the world, why would he care about such a small amount of money?
But the island country is different. The land and people in the villages of the island country are the private property of the lords and their own things. How can they be wasted casually?
Even if your own daimyo sends his followers to the countryside to rob things, they must be fully armed and cautious, because the local servants below also regard the land as private property and their own land.
If the daimyo lord has too few soldiers to follow him, and if he robs you too hard, the little lord below will dare to give you a white knife to go in, a red knife to go out, and then he will find a piece of wasteland to bury the body and use it as fertilizer.
Therefore, it is rare for an island country to see a peasant uprising that sweeps the world and responds to everyone's response. Because the spring is not pressed to the extreme and cannot accumulate the energy to collapse the world, it breaks out early.
Peasants and village women have a local yikui, countrymen and warriors have a national yikui, townspeople and craftsmen have a common people yikui, and Buddhists all have a yixiang yikui organized like this.
The island country is barren and impoverished, and the sixty-six countries in the world can have various disasters break out hundreds of times every year. If they can't survive, they will have trouble.
When a Wu family leader encounters a problem, they will often choose to negotiate first. As long as they agree on a suitable price, they can then kill a few of the leaders and forget about it.
The land is private property. If you kill your donkey because it stomped on its son, who will do the work?
Only when encountering certain irreconcilable factors, the great names of the Wu family would raise the butcher's knife and completely eliminate the unfavorable factors, such as religion, equal rights, or forcing people to die before their eyes.
The Satake Army were not locals, and their behavior of digging embankments and killing people completely angered the locals, leading to this unexpected siege.
Xiaochang is not afraid of these peasant women who work hard with hoes. These people's hands are good at plowing fields, but they are not used to killing people.
If there were not the two hundred cavalrymen of the male army, many villagers would never come back. The eight hundred men of Satake's army were enough to massacre the surrounding villages.
But at this juncture, the swarming village women suddenly hit Satake's army's weak spot.
The two hundred cavalry of the men's army were finally separated by the infantry of Satake's army. Satake's army was taking advantage of their numerical advantage to unhorse the cavalry who had lost speed one by one.
But at this moment, the local village women, who had a greater numerical advantage than Satake's army, came from all directions and killed them, completely disrupting the battle situation.
The Satake Army and the Men's Army were fighting in a melee, and their military formations had long since disappeared.
One-on-one, soldiers may not be as strong as peasant women. Without the cooperation of the battle formation, Satake's army was besieged by several times the number of peasant women, just like the cavalry was divided by the infantry, and it immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Xiaoba was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, but even if she yelled and tried to reorganize an effective formation, she could not succeed.
How could this chaotic battle, shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot stabbing each other with guns and bayonets, form a formation?
In desperation, Xiaochang could only order his bannermen to form a small formation and barely resist the waves of attacks by the village women who were not afraid of death.
The ground servant who had just left Gu Tian was now leading a group of several ground servants to form a small formation, heading towards the small field to kill.
The enemies on both sides were extremely jealous when they met, and the two groups collided with each other, dripping with blood.
The ground servants on the ground were not elite opponents, and several of them fell down in a moment. However, these people refused to retreat and called the peasant women around them to come over. They attacked with numbers, leaving Xiaochang in a hurry.
The Satake Army is in chaos, and the Men's Army is not necessarily doing well either.
It was Fanjun's first time on the battlefield, and he had never seen such a chaotic scene.
His own people were so divided that they could not be found, the enemy was rushed into chaos, and the peasant woman who had just entered the battlefield did not know whether she was an enemy or a friend.
In the darkness, everyone was fighting, but they didn't know who they were fighting with. It was so chaotic that it made people feel numb.
Just when Fanjun was hesitating, he knocked away several people on his horse and rushed in front of her.
"Father!"
"Kai-kun! Are you okay?"
Kai-kun cleared a clearing with his gun, approached Shige-kun, and shouted.
"Father, hurry up and tell all the cavalry to rush out and assemble outside the formation!"
Fanjun's head was buzzing. He was just a harem's husband. He didn't know how to fight. Today, Miaoyin monk took the position of the general. He thought more about heroic martyrdom than defeating the enemy.
However, Kai-kun mingled with the men's army and followed him to fight, which suddenly confused Shigetsu-kun's mind. He himself could die a worthy death, but his son could not die here!
Kai-kun's thoughts are much simpler than his father's, he just wants to win!
Satake's army took advantage of darkness and numerical advantages to cut the men's cavalry into pieces, intending to slowly annihilate them.
Fan Jun was ignorant of military affairs and stood still to delay the opportunity to fight. He was really an incompetent general and killed the entire army.
Compared to this useless father, Kai-kun has a very clear mind.
The cavalry is powerful only when it runs!
The peasant women swarming around gave the male cavalry an excellent opportunity. With the peasant women entangled, Satake's army flawlessly continued to divide the cavalry.
As long as all the male troops charge outside and use the mobility of the cavalry to reorganize their charge to the outside, this can have the final say in this chaotic battle situation!
Seeing that Shigeki-kun was still hesitating, Kai-kun grabbed his father's hand and shouted.
"Father! Do you believe me or not? Give me the command!"
Looking at Kai-kun's anxious face and the red and swollen cheeks on his son's face from being slapped, a deep sense of guilt and self-blame appeared in Shigetsu-kun's blank mind.
It is because of my incompetence as a father that my son has to work so hard.
Fanjun's impetuous heart suddenly calmed down. He looked at his son who was eager to try and showed a relieved smile.
"Of course I believe in you, my son. From now on, the entire army will be under your command! Follow the flag! Follow the army! Follow the young master!"
"Hi!"
Kai-kun was so happy that he couldn't wait to thank his father and gave the order directly.
"Blow the conch! Raise the formation flag! Break out to the north! All cavalry will follow! Assemble outside the formation!"
"Hi!"
The long sound of the conch sounded, and Xiaochang, who had just chopped down all the servants, trembled all over.
She looked up and saw that in the dimly lit area, the formation flags of the men's army were quickly moving out. All the men's cavalrymen followed the formation flags as if they had found the backbone.
