The Numata family's troops came out of the dense forest.
Under the cover of night, the peasants and soldiers of the Kuchiki family were not prepared at all.
When the Numata family peasant soldiers armed with sharp blades rushed out one after another, most of the peasant soldiers did not have time to open their eyes until they died.
As soon as the battle started, it was a one-sided massacre.
However, such a big movement also woke up the peasants and soldiers of the Kuchiki family in the rear.
Seeing the flames in front of them and hearing the shouts of killing in their ears, the peasants and soldiers of the Kuchiki family started to take action without any orders.
run!
The battle situation ahead was unclear, and the peasants and soldiers had no idea how many enemy troops there were.
Although it is true that the Kyogoku family has few troops in Takashima County, the only ones who know about it are samurai, not the peasants and soldiers.
They only knew that they had encountered a surprise attack, and if they didn't run away, they would be killed.
No matter how much the Kuchiki family's samurai shouted, the peasants and soldiers had already lost their will to fight.
Many hot-blooded warriors took up arms and prepared to fight to the death, but some warriors also joined in the escape.
The Kuchiki family's front line was instantly defeated.
Miyagawa Yorichu, who was in the second formation, also quickly received the news that the front formation was attacked, and quickly ordered people to gather troops. At the same time, he quickly sent someone to report to Kuchiki Inetsuna in the rear.
However, before Miyagawa Yoritada could finish gathering his troops, the Numata family had already defeated the two hundred people in the Kuchiki family's front line and killed them.
"Don't panic, line up to meet the enemy!"
Miyagawa Yorichu drew his sword and pointed it at the front of the battle line, boosting morale.
However, there was no telling how many enemy troops there were in the darkness. The peasants and soldiers in the second formation were all panicking. The more courageous peasants and soldiers could still hold on to their weapons and maintain their formation, while the timid peasants and soldiers were shaking all over. I can hardly hold the bamboo spear anymore.
"kill!"
"Come on!"
Along with the charge of the Numata family's troops, dozens of defeated soldiers from the front line were being chased.
The weapons in the hands of the defeated soldiers were no longer known to be taken away. They could only rely on their instinct to escape and flee towards the rear as quickly as possible.
From time to time, broken soldiers were overtaken and died on the spot. The screams when they died made the peasants and soldiers in the second formation feel nervous.
Among the Numata family's troops, Kyogoku Takamasa, Hatayama Chonobu, Hayashi Masanobu, Nagasaka Nobumasa, Onoki Kunishige and Numata Mitsukane were at the forefront. The swords and spears in the hands of several people could see blood from time to time. , the peasants and soldiers behind them were excited.
"Go to hell!"
Kyogoku Takamasa caught up with a panicked samurai and chopped the samurai to the ground with just one strike of his sword. Then he swung his left hand violently, and a bloody head rolled to the ground.
Glancing at the position of Miyagawa Yoritada's team, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly raised his right foot and kicked his head over like a football.
"The enemy general has been captured by Kyogoku Sakyoushin!"
The head drew a beautiful arc and went straight to Miyagawa Yorichu. It's a pity that the strength seemed to be a little lacking. The head fell to the ground when it flew in front of Miyagawa Yorichu, but after rolling a few times, it stopped right at Miyagawa Yorichu's feet.
Good footwork!
Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi can only sigh in despair when seeing such footwork!
In Miyagawa Yorichu's view, this was undoubtedly a provocation from the other party, an insult to himself and the Kuchiki family, and a great disrespect to the deceased!
Miyagawa Yorichu was filled with rage, and he felt a great power erupting within his body.
However, the angry Miyagawa Yorichu didn't think so much, but it didn't mean that other samurai and peasant soldiers didn't have other thoughts in their minds.
"Kyokyo Goku Sakyoujin?"
"That person said he was Sakyo Susumu Kyogoku?"
"Could it be Saburo Yasha from the Kyogoku family?"
"Oh my god, it's actually Yasha Saburo!"
The influence of the human bark tree, Kyogoku Takamasa's reputation in Omi is also well-known.
The famous Yasha Saburo, in various versions circulated, is a vicious and murderous terrifying existence.
Hearing that there was this murderous god in the enemy camp, the peasants and soldiers of the Kuchiki family became even more panicked.
Kyogoku Takamasa had this effect. After seeing that the enemy army was beginning to become unstable, Kyogoku Takamasa immediately waved his hand, "Charge over and crush them!"
"oh!"
Kyogoku Takamasa is famous in Omi, and is even more of a legend in the Kyogoku family.
Everyone in the Kyogoku family knows about Kyogoku Takamasa's various NB operations back then. With such a big boss leading the charge, the peasants and soldiers of the Numata family felt as if they were full of strength.
Miyagawa Yoritada doesn't care about so many things. He only carries one head on two shoulders. Who is afraid of whom?
"Hold still, our reinforcements are coming soon!"
Miyagawa Yorichu did not believe that there would be many enemy troops in Kaijin Castle. If the Kyogoku family had more troops in Takashima County, Tagaya Castle would not be easily captured by his side.
Even if the opponent is Kyogoku Takamasa, our family's military strength is superior, so it is not without the power to fight!
As the head of the Kuchiki family, Miyagawa Yoritada had a wealth of more than 3,000 koku and an army of five or six hundred men under his command.
Even though not all of them were gathered, there were still four to five hundred people.
"Come on!"
"Kill it!"
Before the Numata family's troops could rush forward, Miyagawa Yorichu also rushed out with greetings.
Miyagawa Yorichu rushed out first, and the Hatamoto and the sidemen behind him quickly followed. Seeing that the samurai masters were already rushing in front, the peasant soldiers behind also plucked up a little courage and rushed forward.
The two armies quickly collided.
Kyogoku Takamasa took the lead. The sword in his hand had been returned to the scabbard, and he entered the formation waving a long gun.
Although samurai carry swords, only a very small number of them use swords in battle. In most cases, they use spears.
Although Kyogoku Takamasa's spear skills are average, they are not comparable to ordinary samurai.
Not long after, two Kuchiki family samurai fell to Kyogoku Takamasa's gun.
Next to Kyogoku Takamasa, Nagasaka Nobumasa is an expert with guns. The title of "Bloody Gun Kuro" in history was gained from bloody battles with real swords and real guns.
I saw Nagasaka Nobumasa dancing with a spear in his hand like an airtight one. With a wave of his hand, a peasant soldier fell into a pool of blood.
"drink!"
Nagasaka Nobumasa shouted and rushed towards a Kuchiki family warrior.
Seeing Nobumasa Nagasaka rushing over, the samurai also turned his gun and came forward.
boom!
The spears in the two men's hands collided together, and the samurai felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth. Before he could react, Nagasaka Nobumasa's spearhead had already pierced his face.
In the critical moment, a spear appeared from the side and blocked the head of Nagasaka Nobumasa's spear.
so close!
The samurai glanced at Nagasaka Nobumasa with lingering fear, and then took two steps back. Only then did he see clearly that it was Miyagawa Yoritada who blocked the shot for him.
"Father?"
"Taro, step back, you are no match for him!" Miyagawa Yorichu was considered a veteran on the battlefield. After more than 20 battles, he received more than ten letters of complaint alone and asked for eight heads if not one hundred. Ten.
Experience tells Miyagawa Yoritada that Nagasaka Nobumasa is definitely a master.
Seeing Miyagawa Yoritada rushing out, Nagasaka Nobumasa seemed to have found prey and licked his lips excitedly.
"Finally a decent one?"
