"Kill!" Kasahara Kiyotsuna drew his sword and shouted.
"Ouch" Although the peasant soldiers have low combat effectiveness, their morale is still good, at least on the surface.
Kasahara Kiyotsuna quickly rushed to the right side of the battlefield with three hundred peasant soldiers. "There is the enemy in front. The enemy's morale is obviously low. The enemy on the hillside on your side has been standing still. That's because they are afraid of us!"
"My family will win this battle. The time has come to conquer the enemy. Charge into the battlefield and kill!"
"kill!"
Kasahara Kiyotsuna's ability to boost morale was extremely strong, and he could arouse the emotions of his peasant soldiers in just a few words. In fact, the peasants and soldiers were not blind. The Nagata family's ashigaru over there were all sitting on the hillside watching the show, and they only needed some melon seeds, cigarettes, and mineral water to go out for an outing.
In this case, it was obvious that their next enemy was only the Tanaka family's troops who were semi-surrounded on the battlefield. Our own side has at least several hundred troops, while the enemy's strength is only over a hundred. It is obvious that our side has the upper hand in terms of numbers between the enemy and us.
In the eyes of farmers and soldiers, having more people is an advantage!
The front line of the Tanaya family was occupied by Kaizu Masamoto's troops. When he first saw the enemy Tanaka family and Nagata family's troops coming out, Kaizu Masamoto suddenly looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. But as the battle raged for a while, Masamoto Kaizu also came to his senses. Why was there no movement from the Nagata family?
Could it be that the enemy was trying to get the Tanaka family to contain them, and then the Nagata family launched an attack from their own flank?
However, soon, Kaijin Masamoto discovered that he had overthinking it, and the Nagata family's troops showed no signs of joining the battlefield. Haijin Zhengyuan's heart suddenly moved, and then he let go of his hands and feet. After leaving dozens of peasant soldiers as a reserve team, the remaining two hundred peasant soldiers all pressed forward.
The Tanaka family was fighting alone, and the opponent was more numerous than themselves. If the Tanaka family's samurai were not really brave and good at fighting, the Tanaka family's peasant soldiers would have been defeated long ago.
It is now the Hanro era, and Oda Nobunaga has not yet been born. The war pattern during this period is actually similar to that of decades ago. It is nothing more than the peasants and soldiers of both sides lining up in a row to attack each other under the leadership of the samurai. When the peasants and soldiers of the other side have no strength or there is some one-sided reversal on the battlefield, the peasants and soldiers quickly retreat and the other side wins.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is particularly critical whether the samurai leading the team are brave enough to fight and whether they can take the lead. And it is obvious that the Tanaka family's samurai are indeed not afraid of death when fighting.
"Lord, the Nagata family seems to have no sign of supporting me at all. If we continue to fight like this, our family will only increase casualties!" In the Tanaka family formation, a samurai pulled Tanaka Songhiro and said excitedly.
How could Tanaka Songhiro not know, but he knew he would continue to fight. Once the Tanaka family is "fearful" of fighting and flees, then Takashima Takamochi will definitely hold on to this matter, and the price the Tanaka family will pay will be even greater.
Why do you think the Nagata family can ignore the Takashima family?
First of all, the Nagata family has a lot of lice but is not itchy. As the Takashima family is famous for their prickly head and poop stirring stick, this is normal operation.
Secondly, the Nagata family actually hopes that the Takashima family will fight against them after the war, so that the Nagata family will have a reason to break away from the Takashima family.
Tanaka Songhiro has no idea of falling out with the Takashima family in the near future, because the Tanaka family's territory, Tanaka Township, is surrounded by the Takashima family's territory. With the current situation, as long as the Tanaka family dares to make trouble with the Takashima family, the Tanaka family will be in an extremely difficult situation.
And once the Takashima family launches troops against the Tanaka family, it is impossible for the Tanaka family to defeat them. It is even impossible for other wealthy families such as the Nagata family and the Yokoyama family to send troops to support. They hope that the Tanaka family can fight with the Takashima family and finally come to clean up the mess.
In this way, the Tanaka family became the victims, and it was the Tanaka family's loss no matter what.
"My lord is in trouble, the Tianya family has increased its troops, and there are enemy troops on the right wing of our family!" At this moment, a voice sounded in Tanaka Songhong's ears, drawing Tanaka Songhong's attention back.
Pushing aside the few peasants and soldiers blocking him, Tanaka Songhiro turned his gaze to the right, and soon discovered Kasahara Kiyotsuna and others coming towards them.
"The enemy is trying to surround us, we can't just sit back and wait for death!" Tanaka Songhong looked around, then suddenly turned his head and pointed at the hillside to the west and shouted loudly, "Give me the order, the whole army retreats towards Nagata's house! Quick!" !!”
mmp, your Nagata family won't participate in the war, right? Then I will bring you the enemy. I want to see if you want to stand there and wait to die.
As Tanaka Songhong's order was issued, more than a hundred peasants and soldiers on the battlefield immediately put away their weapons and ran away without saying a word.
Escape?
Oh, when it comes to escaping, all the peasants and soldiers present are experts!
Nagata Shigemi was lying on the grass with a weed in his mouth and his legs crossed. Two peasant soldiers used fans to fan Nagata Shigemi from time to time. Compared with Tanaka Songhiro who was fighting on the battlefield, Nagata Shigemi was a little boy. Don't live a comfortable life.
"Made, this Tanaka Songhong is really tough, and he won't give in even if he does this!"
"Hmph, then don't blame me for not saving you!" Shigemi Nagata originally wanted to force Tanaka Songhiro to relent by not participating in the war, but the Tanaka family withstood the fierce attack of the Tabiya family, which left Shigemi Nagata speechless. .
Suddenly, Nagata Shigemi felt a fever. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was two peasant soldiers who were fanning the wind and had stopped what they were doing.
Just as he was about to get angry, one of the peasant soldiers spoke first, "Sir, the Tanaka family is running towards us!"
"There is also the strength of the Tianya family's troops! The Tianya family is chasing us!"
"What?" Nagata Shigemi immediately stood up, rubbed his eyes and saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, and immediately became angry, "Asshole, shoot arrows for me, we can't let the Tanaka family bring the enemy here!"
"But my lord, those are friendly forces!" A Tanaka family samurai said hesitantly.
"Asshole!" Shigemi Nagata went up and slapped him, "We shot people from the Taya family, do you understand!"
"Archers prepare to shoot!"
Bows, whether they are better heavy rattan bows or rubbish Maruki bows, are not something that ordinary peasant soldiers can handle. Don't think that archery is easy, it is impossible without long-term practice.
Under normal circumstances, those who hold bows and arrows to shoot are samurai or people from martial arts families, because only these people have the opportunity and time to practice bows and arrows.
There were only about twenty archers under the Nagata family. At first, everyone was reluctant to shoot. After all, shooting at friendly troops was a bit unacceptable. But seeing the furious Nagata Shigemi, he could only reluctantly pull the bow string.
"Fire the arrow! Why are you so stunned! Fire the arrow!"
Seeing Nagata Shigemi urging again, the archers loosened their fingers.
Tanaka Songhong never thought that the Nagata family's archers would actually shoot arrows at him. Looking at the two fallen peasant soldiers, Tanaka Songhong was almost furious.
"Nagata Shigemi, you have committed such a villainous act, and I, Tanaka Songhiro, are incompatible with you!"
Kasahara Kiyosuna, who was chasing behind, was also confused as to what the other side was doing!
