Asakura Keigao rode on his beloved war horse, gently wiping the sword in his hand with his right hand. The sun shone on the sword, shining with a dazzling light.
This sword was given to Asakura Kagetaka by his late father, Asakura Takakage, when he was in Yuan Dynasty. It has been with Asakura Kagetaka for more than 20 years.
Asakura Kagedaka, known as Jirozaemon and Sonhachiro, is the second son of Asakura Sadake, the previous head of the Asakura family, and the younger brother of the current head of the Asakura family, Takakage Asakura. As the son of Asakura Sadake, Asakura Keigao himself is considered brave and good at fighting.
In the 16th year of Eisho (1519 AD), the brothers Toki Yoritake and Toki Yorige of Mino started a rebellion. At the invitation of Toki Yoritake, the Asakura clan sent Asakura Ketaka to lead 3,000 ashigaru to conquer Mino country, and supported Toki Yorige. Saito Hikoshiro fought. Asakura Ketaka won consecutive victories in the Masaki Battle that broke out on September 14 and the Ikedo Battle that broke out on October 10, defeating Toki Yorii's side and allowing Toki Yoritake to successfully defeat Toki Yorii and secure the U.S. Strong protection.
Afterwards, in the seventh year of Dayei (AD 1527), Asakura Jinggao assumed the position of Ono County Secretary and began to gain a "pivotal" position in Asakura's family.
Among the members of the Asakura family, if we were to say who led the troops in the war, it would be Asakura Kagetaka besides Asakura Sotechi. And Asakura Keigao has more than half of the entire Asakura family's equestrian team, and it can be said that Asakura Takakage is deeply trusted.
On horseback, Asakura Takakage's eyes were fixed on the deserted cavalry team on the battlefield, and he was already very eager to rush down and compete with the Kyogoku family.
But the general in charge of this battle was Asakura Sotechi. Asakura Jinggao did not dare to act rashly before receiving Asakura Sotechi's order to attack. In the Asakura family, no one dares to challenge Asakura Sotetsu's authority, even Asakura Ketaka, who has a position within the Asakura family (Ono Sheriff) that is not inferior to Asakura Sotetsu's (Tsuruga Sheriff). in this way.
"My lord, here is the order from this formation, it's time to attack!"
When Asakura Jinggao was in a panic, a cavalryman quickly mobilized his horse and came to Asakura Jinggao's side and said loudly.
"very good!"
Asakura Ketaka quickly turned his head and said loudly to the 300 members of the cavalry team behind him, "Everyone! Today I, Asakura Ketaka, will lead everyone to charge again."
"The Kyogoku family below is just an old man who has gradually revived in the past two years. Although the other party also has a horse riding team, who in the recent areas is talking about the horse team who doesn't know the heroic appearance of my Echizen samurai?"
"Even though there are rumors about how powerful the Kyogoku family's military force is and how brave Kyogoku Saburo is! But when it comes to riding on horseback, the warriors of my Asakura family must be the strongest!" Asakura Ketaka continued to say selflessly, " Now, you all can raise your swords and charge with me!"
"kill!"
"oh!"
"Ouch!"
The three hundred Asakura family's cavalry team instantly formed a huge torrent. The galloping horses and the sound of horse hooves resounded in the sky, exploding like thunder at the edge of the battlefield.
The ashigaru on both sides of the battlefield once again stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes in the direction of the Asakura family's cavalry.
Looking at it, the Asakura family's military strength was naturally extremely surprising. After being chased and killed by the Kyogoku family's cavalry for so long, now my own cavalry has also attacked, and the hard life has finally come to an end!
"Look! It's our cavalry team!"
"Eemon Daifu-dono is attacking!"
"Everyone, come on, defeat the Kyogoku family in one fell swoop!"
"Ouch!"
Seeing their own cavalry team joining the battlefield, encouraged by the Asakura family samurai, many Asakura family Ashigaru men immediately responded with bursts of cheers.
Hearing the cheers coming from their ears, all the cavalrymen of the Asakura family's cavalry team had expressions of excitement and pride on their faces.
...........
On one side of the battlefield, Nobuharu Baba, the commander of the Kyogoku family's cavalry team, also noticed the sudden appearance of the cavalry army in front of them, and immediately ordered all the mounted samurai to temporarily stop the pursuit and assemble in place to prepare.
Baba Nobharu's chest and abdomen were rising and falling rapidly, and half an hour of continuous charging made the macho man, Baba Nobharu, feel a little tired.
The short repair allowed Baba Nobuharu to quickly adjust his breath. Looking at the hundreds of Asakura family horseback riding teams joining the battlefield ahead, Baba Nobharu felt a little nervous to be honest.
Although it has been some time since he joined the Kyogoku family, this battle is technically Baba Nobuharu's "first battle" in the Kyogoku family. Although under his own leadership, the Kyogoku family's cavalry had shown extremely strong combat effectiveness, they were only facing a ragtag group of peasants and soldiers.
But now that the Asakura family's horse team is attacking, this is the real test that the Kyogoku family's horse team faces.
Just as Baba Nobuharu was worried, the Kyogoku family's horse-riding samurai, who were originally confident and forward-looking, had worries on their faces after seeing the Asakura family's horse team. It was obvious that they all had no confidence in their hearts.
Seeing this, Nobuharu Baba knew that it was time for him to say something.
"Gentlemen! What appears before us is the Asakura family's horse team! It is said that the Asakura family's horse team became famous in Kyoto more than ten years ago, and the number of people on the other side is greater than ours!"
"There are hundreds of them, but there are only a hundred of us!"
"Ha! Are you afraid now?" Nobuharu Baba suddenly said in a deep voice: "I, Nobuharu Baba, served for the Kai Takeda clan before. Compared with the Takeda clan's cavalry, these people from the Asakura family are simply a bunch of crap! "
"Today, I will step on the Asakura family's corpse to show the world the style of my Kyogoku family!"
"Is there anyone among you who dares to fight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of cavalrymen were immediately infected by Nobuharu's words and raised their lances in response.
The other cavalrymen also looked at Baba Nobharu eagerly, waiting for Baba Nobharu to give the order to attack.
The previous battles had already built up everyone's confidence, and they were only slightly worried just now. After the encouragement of Baba Nobuharu, the Asakura family's cavalry now only had some military exploits in the eyes of the Kyogoku family's cavalry.
"Assault formation!" Nobuharu Baba raised his saber high.
Upon hearing Baba Nobuharu's order, the Kyogoku family's cavalry immediately formed a cavalry wedge formation, which is a formation that enhances penetration and impact. The advantages are fast speed and strong penetration, but the disadvantage is that it cannot face heavily armored units.
But at this time, in the Warring States Period of RB, where did the heavy armor units come from?
"Wing around with two wings, cover from both sides!" Nobuharu Baba waved with all his strength, and the blade pointed towards the direction of the charge of his cavalry!
"kill!"
The Kyogoku family's cavalry suddenly rushed towards the Asakura family's cavalry from the south side of the battlefield, like an arrow from the string. Along the way, both the Kyogoku family and the Asakura family's ashigaru stayed out of the way.
This is a battle destined to be earth-shattering, and at this time, the protagonists of both sides seem to have appeared!
