"Invite all of you, sir." After thinking for a while, Shigetoshi Katagiri raised his head and said to a samurai kneeling in front of him.
"Yes." The warrior lowered his head and responded, then quickly stood up, got on his horse and got off. Soon after, eight samurai wearing exaggerated armor came to Shigetoshi Katagiri.
These eight warriors were either daimyo or important warriors in the army.
"Sir." The eight people lined up in two rows and bowed to Shigetoshi Katagiri.
"Gentlemen, you are all heroes who have fought in troubled times. I will not talk about leading troops in battle. I will only tell you one thing. I am going to challenge Wu Nian. When I win, you will see the right time to launch Attack. Wipe out Wu Nian's army."
Katagiri Shigetoshi said in a deep voice.
The eyes of the eight warriors lit up, showing joy. Katagiri Shigetoshi is a master of using the naginata. His reputation for bravery ranks him among the best in Fuso.
If he could kill Wu Nian.
Not only will we definitely win this war, but it will also be easy.
"I wish you good luck in martial arts, sir." The eight warriors bowed in unison and said in a loud voice.
"Yes." A smile appeared on Shigetoshi Katagiri's face and he nodded gently.
immediately. The eight warriors went down individually. After a while, the Fuso army's military formation was also set up. Katagiri Shigetoshi stood up, got on his horse, and took the naginata from the samurai's hand. Under the gaze of everyone, he rode out of the military formation.
"Wu Nian. I am Nakagoshi of Fuso and the governor of the Katagiri family, Shigetoshi Katagiri. I have heard for a long time that you are brave and good at fighting, so I came here to challenge you."
Katagiri Shigetoshi came between the two armies, pointed his naginata at Wu Nianjun, and his voice was very loud and could be heard everywhere.
"My lord! My lord! My lord!" The Fuso warriors became excited, raised their weapons, and cheered loudly.
Wu Nian's military formation did not respond for a while.
It's not that the soldiers were frightened, but they didn't know how to react. The soldiers first looked at Shigetoshi Katagiri, who was showing off his power in front of the two armies, with the eyes of a dead man, and then turned to look at Wu Nian.
Under the banner of "Zhang". Zhang Sheng looked at Shigetoshi Katagiri dumbfounded, and then shook his head.
Even if you are going to die, don't be so impatient.
Challenge our general? Are you kidding me?
Under the banner of "king". Wang Gui thought for a while, turned his horse's head, left his military formation, and rode towards Wu Nian's location.
"Uncle. The Fusang barbarians dared to run rampant. I went into battle on my uncle's behalf and slaughtered him." Zhang Zhen was furious, waving the horse in his hand, his face flushed.
Lu Yanxun remained silent.
Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Zhen but did not answer. Wang Gui rode up to Wu Nian, clasped his fists and saluted, "General. Are you going to fight?"
"How about going to fight? What if we don't go to fight?" Wu Nian asked with a smile on his face.
"If the general goes to war and kills Shigetoshi Katagiri, Fuso's army will definitely collapse. They will flee in all directions, and it will be difficult to kill or capture them."
Wang Gui answered with cupped fists.
"Yes. I slaughtered him. What if his army escapes? If the 20,000 Fusang defeated army escapes and spreads across Goguryeo, then I will have a big headache."
Wu Nian glanced at Zhang Zhen, and then said to Wang Gui: "Leave him alone. You and Zhang Sheng are ready. After the two sides fight hand-to-hand, the Fuso Army will collapse. You surround him from both sides, and don't let anyone escape."
"Whether they are alive or dead. Now that they have come to Goguryeo, they don't have to go back to Fusang."
Wu Nian's face showed a serious look, and his tone was a bit colder than this winter.
"Yes." Wang Gui responded with clasped fists, reined in the horse, turned the horse's head and galloped back to the military formation.
"Uncle. I was reckless." Zhang Zhen admitted his mistake honestly.
Lu Yanxun pinched his chin. Was the general worried about this kind of thing?
"No. You have great courage." Wu Nian replied with a smile, and then glanced at Lu Yanxun. Both of these guys are solid kids.
But the abilities are completely different.
Zhang Zhen is brave, but Lu Yanxun has many evil ideas.
Wu Nian stopped talking and raised his head to look at Shigetoshi Katagiri, focusing on his exaggerated armor. The armor is quite beautiful.
Katagiri Shigetoshi saw Wu Nian in the army, but no one answered for a long time. He couldn't help but feel disappointed, and then said excitedly: "I have heard about the name of Liaodong Tiger for a long time, but I didn't expect that he is a coward."
"Wu Nian. Don't you even have the courage to challenge me?"
Wu Nianjun's soldiers didn't understand why the general didn't agree to fight with him. But they all believe that the general is definitely not a coward and there must be a reason.
They all looked at Shigetoshi Katagiri as if they were a fool.
This stupid fuso dog is chirping very annoyingly.
Does he know what he is doing?
Katagiri Shigetoshi couldn't help but feel disappointed that he was unsuccessful. He turned the horse's head and rode back to his own military formation.
"Oh oh oh oh!!!" The Fuso soldiers saw Katagiri Shigetoshi returning and Wu Nian did not dare to fight. Their morale was boosted. They raised their weapons and let out a loud roar.
"Hehehe." Shigetoshi Katagiri's mood improved a little and he chuckled.
"Attack!!!!" When the roar stopped, Shigetoshi Katagiri raised the naginata in his hand, pointed forward, and gave the order.
"Kill!!!!" The Fuso warriors were already hungry and thirsty. Like wild horses, they roared crazily and charged at Wu Nianjun.
Their front row is a spear formation, and the formation is very dense. At the rear are archers and various types of troops. Even samurai, no one actually fights with a katana.
The katana is too short and has no armor-breaking ability. To fight with it is to play with your own life.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The pikemen moved forward step by step with their spears raised. Every time they took a step forward, the pikemen would shout a kill, as if to increase their momentum.
It also seems to scare opponents.
That mountain-like momentum has extremely strong oppressive power.
"You can really bluff people. I don't know what level it will be in a fight." Zhang Sheng said with a smile on his face and shook his head.
The first to strike was Wu Nianjun's divine arm archer. On the Liaodong battlefield. Chu, Mongolia, Yuan, and Liaodong all knew the magic arm bow technology and always had this weapon.
But apparently the Fuso people don't have this technology.
The so-called crossbow.
Having a strong range means pulling the trigger earlier than others.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
"Click, click!!!"
The crossbow arrows were like thunder and lightning, attacking Fuso's spearmen. The dense formation has become a burden.
"Ahhhh!!"
"Pfft, pfft."
The Fuso spearmen were hit by arrows one after another, and some fell to the ground, or screamed in pain.
"Crossbow? The range is so far?" Shigetoshi Katagiri's pupils shrank and he took a breath. In Fuso, there are no such powerful crossbows.
"Quick. Speed up. Rush forward." Shigetoshi Katagiri raised his naginata and shouted.
Advancing the formation so slowly is just inviting death. Engaging quickly and engaging in hand-to-hand combat is the way to go.
As long as hand-to-hand combat begins.
Wu Nianjun collapsed.
The Fuso warriors and ronin under my command are all heroes who emerged from troubled times.
