Yiyin couldn't see the resentful look in Xing Sheng's eyes in the mountains behind him. He hit his horse and rushed to forty or fifty paces, shouting loudly.
"I am Yoshigan, the governor of the Shiba family. I came to Echigo on the orders of the shogunate to promulgate the decree for His Highness Nagao to join the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and succeed him as the governor of Kanto.
His Highness Nagao changed the name to Miao, and General Ashikaga gave him the name Uesugi Terutora.
You are rebelling and causing rebellion. Your crime is unforgivable. Why don't you surrender quickly? Aren't you afraid of harming your husband and your wife?"
There was an uproar in the Daxiong Chaoxiu formation. Although they knew that Uesugi Teruhu had left the country, only a few senior officials knew that she was from Uerak Kyoto.
Of course, this kind of news that affects the morale of the military will not be disclosed casually, which will increase Teru Uesugi's power.
But they never expected that the envoys of the shogunate would come and speak in front of the formation with the imperial flag, which immediately disrupted the morale of the army.
Ichihime warrior asked Daxiong Chaoxiu.
"Master Big Bear, is what he said true?"
Another Ji Samurai refuted.
"Of course it's a lie! The Nagao family in the mansion is a subordinate of the samurai family, so how can they be favored by the Ashikaga Shogun!"
"The imperial flag is right in front of the formation! How can it be fake!"
"The Nagao family has always been dissolute, maybe they are fake imperial flags!"
"Who dares to take the lead and overstep the mark! You will risk your life!"
"The Nagao family in the mansion killed the guards twice, does it look like a deadly samurai family?"
All the subordinates were arguing, and Daxiong Chaoxiu had a splitting headache. She did not doubt what the other party said, but became even more vigilant.
Today's battle was too strange. The opponent's army was weak, but he provoked us in front of the battle, which caused great confusion in the morale of our army.
I'm really not afraid that my own army will overwhelm him and kill him, the envoy of the shogunate.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, what if this was deliberately tempting me to attack?
Da Xiong looked far into the distance towards Chao Xiu, always feeling that there was some hidden ace in the opponent's formation.
At this time, the warrior Ji under her command had become fiercely competitive, and they all came to her with suggestions.
"Lord Big Bear, we haven't fought with him yet, so we shouldn't be punished too much if we surrender now, why not..."
"Put it on! It's true that those people in our village despise us. If we back down halfway, how will we live in the future!
No matter what, we have to work hard for a while so that they will have some scruples in doing things in the future!"
His subordinates were talking a lot, but Daxiong Chaoxiu felt his heart grow cold.
The Ji warriors seemed to have different ideas, but in fact they were just hesitating between surrendering and surrendering after the battle. In the end, their morale was already low.
These people just want Uesugi Teruhu to know that the consequences of over-squeezing them are unpredictable, and they should be gentler in the future.
If you really break up, you don't have the courage to fight to the end.
Daxiong smiled bitterly at Xiu, then who was she? He was so hot-headed that he raised the flag and launched an army, and he was caught in a dilemma.
As the leader of the rebellion, after surrendering, he will definitely be pulled out and beaten to scare the monkeys, and he will no longer have his current status.
There was resentment in her heart, but she did not dare to engage in battle with the enemy.
As her thoughts deepened, she became more and more certain that the young man who claimed to be the Governor of the Shiba Family had a back-up plan, and would suffer heavy losses if he really fought.
If you don’t fight, you will die. If you fight, you will die immediately. What should I do?
Thinking back on the injustices he suffered over the years, Honjo Minoru's favoritism, and Uesugi Teruhora's ridicule, Okuma Chaohide felt bitterness in his heart.
I should be a good person and do good things, but if you don't give me a way to survive, I will endure the humiliation and bear the burden and be humiliated even more.
The Daxiong family is also an old martial arts family, so it’s shameful!
There was a feeling of depression in Daxiong Chaoxiu's chest that could not be vented. Her eyes turned red, and she stopped listening to the noise of the martial arts around her and rushed out of the array single-handedly.
"I am Daxiong Chaoxiu, who dares to fight with me!"
She chose to fight for a ride.
Seeing a horse galloping out of the enemy army, Kamizumi Nobutsuna also rode forward and rushed to protect Yoshigoshi.
Hearing that the other party proposed to challenge with one horse, Yiyin was shocked, this big bear Chao Xiu is very interesting.
Yoshihiro had heard from Naoe Kanetsugu before that two generations of the Okuma family had been responsible for guarding the Uesugi family, and they were tax collectors through and through.
How brave can a martial artist with such a hereditary position be? Are they willing to die to prove their ambition?
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna stood beside Yoshigoshi and whispered.
"Otaisuo, please let me go?"
She was really afraid that this young man would rush up to her on his own. He had done a lot of duels before battle.
Although Shiba Yiyin is unparalleled in battle, he has never failed in a single attack.
But if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? If something happens, who dares to take responsibility?
Ever since he picked up the imperial sword, his identity has changed. He is a legitimate imperial authority.
Let the general's husband go out and fight with others. How dare these Ji warriors under his command be so shameless? They will be ashamed to death!
Yoshigan didn't think much, he just looked at Nobutsuna Kamizumi who was fully equipped, armed with a gun and a sword, and nodded.
"Kamiizumi Sword Master, be careful."
Kamizumi Nobutsuna was confident and asked.
"Do you want to live or die?"
She was also a famous warrior in Ueno Country when she was young. Later, she traveled around the world to learn swordsmanship. Her strength, speed, reflexes, and physical strength were not comparable to those of ordinary Hime warriors.
Even though I'm older, I don't dare to be too arrogant when I encounter a formation on the battlefield. But in a one-on-one battle, I'm really not afraid of anyone.
Yiyin glanced at the confident sword master, laughed dumbly, and said.
"You don't have to hold back your swords and guns. If she dies, her fate will be bad."
Yoshigan did think about wooing Ohuma Asahide and his family of samurai warriors, but the internal affairs public's status in Echigo was too low, so they didn't really care.
Daxiong Chaoxiu actually chose to attack on horseback. A political officer was so insane, and his attempts to win over him were much weaker.
Just die, it's not a pity.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna nodded, understanding Shiba Yoshigan's thoughts. She chuckled, raised her gun and charged forward.
"I, Kamizumi Nobutsuna, will be your opponent!"
When Da Xiong saw a general coming from the opposite side, he didn't listen carefully to what she said. He yelled, "Well done!" He concentrated on riding his horse to rush over.
Two horses galloped across each other, killing each other.
The cavalry catching and fighting is different from the collision and trampling of the infantry line.
The cavalry charged the infantry, holding their swords and guns stationary. The acceleration alone was enough to pierce or cut open the human body. After the horse speed slowed down, they thrust their spears forward or sideways to stab at both sides and behind.
After the Song Dynasty, purely heavily armed shock cavalry almost disappeared from the Eastern battlefield due to its single purpose.
Light and medium armored cavalry that can shoot, charge, melee, and run long distances are the mainstream.
Cavalry battles cannot be like battles with infantry. The impact of the collision of horses alone can kill or maim both sides.
Everyone turned away from their horses and attacked their opponents sideways. Their main weapons were armor-piercing weapons such as bones, steel whips, and axes and hammers.
The weapon is about an arm's length and not too heavy, making it convenient for round and round beating.
Japan is poor, with few cavalry, and even less heavy armor. The two sides mostly fight with cavalry, archery or swords and guns. Although the Japanese sword is powerless against heavy armor, it is a powerful weapon against unarmored light armor.
Ueizumi Nobutsuna was full of confidence, and the two sides crossed each other on horseback, trying to use superhuman speed and reaction to stab the other side off the horse.
Who would have thought that Daxiong Chaoxiu would respond in time and flip her lance aside.
The lances of the two men were one and a half long, not suitable for cavalry battles, but they were both confident and did not draw their swords, so they stuck together and used their own methods.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna twisted his waist and threw his arm, and saw the gun that had been carried away was whipped back like a whip.
Who would have thought that Da Xiong Chao Xiu had already been prepared, lowering his waist and using his left arm protective gear to block the blow.
Then, he clamped the lost strength of the gun under his ribs, and stabbed Nobutsuna Ueizumi with the head of his right hand like a white snake spitting out a message.
The sword master's reaction was superhuman, he turned his head to avoid the tip of the gun, grabbed the gun body, and the two of them exerted their strength together, and they were locked in a stalemate.
The big bear Chao Xiu suddenly fell outwards, and the two Ji warriors were knocked off their horses with their two spears and rolled into a ball.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna didn't expect that she would do this. After falling off the horse, he slowed down for a moment, allowing Daxiong Chaoxiu to pull out his katana first and slashed him from the front.
Between life and death, Sword Master Shangquan shouted loudly and rushed into the arms of Daxiong Chaoxiu, grabbing her wrist in an attempt to seize the sword.
The two concubines were blushing and tried their best to fight for the control of the knife.
Yoshihiro was horrified as he watched from the rear. He never expected that Daxiong Chaohide was so brave and could fight Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to a close.
Where is the tax collector that was promised? Where is the persimmon that was promised? Seeing this, he couldn't help but fall in love with talents.
In order for Yoshibank to gain a foothold in Echigo, it needs to find reliable local forces to cheer for him and monitor the local area.
The feudal era was no better than the modern country where he lived in his previous life, and there was no modern citizen consciousness.
Civic education in modern countries closely links the country and individuals. National leaders organize and mobilize national power far better than feudal rulers.
Apart from anything else, the retainers of retainers are not my retainers. This typical political consciousness of feudal rule is enough to prevent rulers from controlling the grassroots.
Centralization of power is like the ancient Chinese dynasty, where imperial power did not go to the countryside and was maintained at the county level.
It’s not that the rulers don’t want to go deeper, but that in ancient times when citizens’ consciousness was not yet awakened, there was no low-cost way to control the grassroots.
The mainstream consciousness at the grassroots level is to follow the law but not follow it, and to protect each other closely. The rulers can only compromise and reach a tacit understanding with local powerful people.
It's the same in Japan.
Although Yiyin has a noble status, in order to turn it into power, he also needs the cooperation of the local martial arts family to complete the contract of the title of principal minister.
Impressed by Daxiong Chaoxiu's cavalry, Yiyin changed his previous dispensable mentality and seriously considered wooing this force for his own use.
