Chapter 141 30. Lanling Enters the Battle Drum

Tatsuzo handed over a drumstick, and Xiao Pingtai weighed it and found it very handy. Aji and Hei Liu also carried the drum over. Anyway, the Japanese Taiko drum was not very big, and they were always carried with the army.

Xiao Pingtai jumped off his horse and saw that the Taiko drum was well placed on the wooden frame, so he called Nanaki, "Just blow it according to my drum beat, understand?"

Nanaki nodded, took off the Taiko hat, and handed the spear to a fellow villager. He took out the Taiko from the cloth bag, held it in his hand, swallowed his saliva first, tried the sound, blew it a few times, and adjusted the state.

Xiao Pingtai didn't waste any words. Seeing that he was ready, he shook his arms and hit the Taiko drum with the drumstick. The heavy and rich sound followed him like a shadow. With a "dong" sound, there was a tendency to cover up the fierce shouting and killing on the battlefield. Soldiers from both armies heard this sound and were stunned for a moment.

Then Xiao Pingtai kept beating his hands, shouting loudly while beating, "Dong!" "Dong!" twice, the two sounds gradually became lighter, but they were connected continuously, fast and urgent.

Then there was another heavy hammer, and Qigui immediately began to play the 皚篥. The drums and music merged into one, and Xiao Pingtai chanted loudly.

Holding Wu Ge and wearing rhinoceros armor, the wheels of the chariots were crossed and the short weapons were engaged.

The flags covered the sun and the enemies were like clouds, the arrows flew and the soldiers competed for the first place.

Overwhelmed my formation and jumped over my line, the left horse was killed and the right was injured.

Haze two wheels and tied four horses, holding jade drumsticks and beating drums.

The sky was angry and the power was angry, killing everyone and abandoning the wilderness.

Going out and not coming in, going and not turning back, the plains were suddenly far away.

Carrying a long sword and holding a Qin bow, the head and body were separated and the heart was not punished.

Sincerity is brave and also uses martial arts, in the end it is strong and cannot be bullied.

After the body dies, the spirit becomes a spirit, and the soul becomes a ghost hero.

(There is no lyrics for the song of Lanling King's march into battle! No lyrics! No lyrics! Those circulating on the Internet are all fake! So I borrow this here.)

The song of Lanling King's march into battle is generous and passionate, and it shakes people's hearts. (It is a pity that it has been completely lost in China. Now only the small chaotic sound and Tang music of Lanling King's march into battle are preserved in the Japanese Gagaku national music system, but it is unknown how much of the fitness music was preserved at that time)

The soldiers of the Yamauchi Army who listened to the Lanling King's march into battle song played at the Hachiman Shrine Festival every year suddenly heard Xiao Pingtai chanting the lyrics and music loudly, and the educated samurai servants also sang loudly together, and the illiterate foot soldiers were also familiar with the lyrics and music, and they sang along.

From Xiao Pingtai alone, to three or five people, to three hundred or five hundred people, to three thousand or five thousand people, the soldiers of the Yamauchi Army at the foot of Mt. Kurasho sang loudly together.

The morale of the Yamanouchi army, which was originally fighting to win, soared. The Naito Shushuo unit in front of Kobayata finally couldn't hold on. The samurai couldn't control the team. The soldiers shouted together, abandoned their armor and ran away.

Once Naito Shushuo's unit collapsed, the Ishimin unit was defeated. With one breath, thousands of Takeda soldiers collapsed and scattered all over the mountains and plains, throwing away their armor and armor, and finally gave up all the dignity of an army, just to escape with their lives.

In Takeda Harunobu's main camp on the top of Mt. Kurasho, Iitomi Saburobei (Yamagata Masakage) and Saegusa Kankaiyu (Saegusa Moritomo), who were already anxious, heard the exciting Lanling King's entry music at the foot of the mountain and said "Not good!" at the same time.

Seeing that Takeda Harunobu was still sitting on the stool, without saying a word, they all stepped forward to hold Takeda Harunobu and held him to retreat.

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent, but if you are still useful, it won't be too late to fight again next year."

Takeda Harunobu struggled a little, and after hearing what Iitomi Saburobei said, he looked deflated, and let several people push him onto the horse, preparing to run away under the guard.

"Takeda Daizen, don't run!" He shouted.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's dozens of horses finally broke through the obstruction of Oyamada Nobuari and Hara Masatane, and entered Takeda's main camp.

Iitomi Saburobei raised his sword and turned around to rush towards Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw a short and strong warrior about 1.3 meters tall rushing towards him, and the tip of the long sword in his hand was forward. He held the handle with both hands and accumulated strength after a few steps of acceleration. Then he jumped first, and was actually taller than Yamauchi Yoshikatsu who was riding on a warhorse more than 1.4 meters tall.

Iitomi Saburobei had a good plan. The long sword slashed down from the air, and if he met a rookie, he might panic immediately, and the result would inevitably be that both the man and the horse were crushed. (During the Korean War, short and strong Japanese warriors used this trick to deal with the infantry and cavalry of the Ming army, but this tactic is not for weaklings. It requires soldiers of high quality, so it is not common.)

Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu is skilled and courageous, and he is tall, strong and in good spirits. He can't let Iitomi Saburobei be rampant. He shouted that it was just in time.

He drove the Echigo warhorse with a length of 1.45 meters under his crotch, gathered his strength, and shot Iitomi Saburobei's sword away with a shot. At this time, several Yamanouchi cavalrymen behind him also arrived one after another, and then they shot at Iitomi Saburobei.

Takeda Harunobu looked at the extremely brave Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu and finally his face changed drastically. He turned his horse's head and was about to turn back.

Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu saw that the complete success was in front of him, so he didn't let him go, and drove forward fiercely.

At this time, the Yamanouchi Army's advantage was fully demonstrated. From the foot of the mountain, there were continuous reports of "Takeda clan samurai general Hatsukano Denemon has been captured!" (This is a clear record of Takeda clan generals who died in the battle of Uedahara)

"Takeda clan foot soldier general Obatayama Jōnyudo has been captured!" (The father of the brave general Obata Masamori who died of illness two years later with more than 30 wounds all over his body, I'll borrow his head for use!)

"Takeda clan foot soldier general Tada Awaji-no-kami has been captured!" (Itagaki Nobukata and Ryuki also died of illness two years later in history, I'll borrow your head for use!)

One after another, the brave generals of the Takeda clan who were famous in the East were killed by the Yamauchi army. Takeda Harunobu wanted to cry but had no tears, but he could not have any more feelings. The various armies of the Yamauchi army were already in a situation where a sharp knife cut butter and hot soup poured on white snow. The Takeda army in front had completely collapsed, and there was no resistance at all.

Seeing that Takeda Harunobu was about to turn his horse to leave, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu threw a spear and nailed a Takeda samurai to the ground at that time. Several people around Takeda Harunobu were shocked for a while. Even the warhorse under Takeda Harunobu's crotch seemed to be frightened, and the Herod was restless and snorted.

Seeing that the long spear did not hit, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu immediately drew out his sword and slashed at Takeda Harunobu who was riding on the horse. Takeda Harunobu groaned.

Sanzhi Kankaiyu rushed to the rescue at the risk of his life, stabbed Takeda Harunobu's horse's hip with his sword, sent Takeda Harunobu away, and fought desperately with several Takeda warriors to intercept Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's troops.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu watched Takeda Harunobu run away, and slashed with his sword in anger, and stopped chasing. Sanzhi Kankaiyu said thank you, and took a few people to chase Takeda Harunobu on foot.

Takeda Harunobu, who had been invincible since his first battle, tasted the taste of defeat and exile for the first time.
