A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Who is that Qiancheng Bamboo Leaf Horse Mark opposite?" Although Takeda Nobushige seemed to be under siege, he still looked calm and calm.

"It seems that it should be Captain Fujiwara Zaemon or Fujiwara Danmasadada." The person serving as deputy general to Takeda Nobushige at the moment is Kanai Imofukusai.

"Oh? Is it the uncle and nephew of Zikoji who asked for Itagaki Shunshu and Amari Bishu in Uedawara last time?"

"That's right. Among the Yamauchi clan, these are the only two people who bear the sun and moonlight family crest."

Takeda Nobushige nodded, but couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Koheita actually brought more than a hundred people to fight.

There are more than 4,000 people on Takeda's left wing on his side. Currently, in addition to the 2,500 people of Yamauchi Cannon Fodder Team 3, there are also 1,300 people from Uesugi Teruhu. To be honest, the number of Takeda troops is still larger.

If it hadn't been for the large-scale attack by Murakami's defeated troops, it would have been impossible for him to be attacked from all sides.

Before the defeated troops could be dispersed, they were hit head-on by Uesugi Teruhora's own force of more than a thousand people, which at once overwhelmed several groups of troops. This led to four thousand people besieging four thousand people, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it. 【Note 1】

But now the Takeda army has calmed down. The left wing quickly organized a square formation with Takeda Nobushige as the center, which was both offensive and defensive. The soldiers also recovered from the chaos.

In fact, he is not in a hurry for his elder brother Takeda Harunobu to save him, because he is not dangerous in the first place. The armored army is very fierce and brave, and it is guaranteed that the Ashigaru will be extremely capable.

Their father, Takeda Kyōjo, often had 2,000 people suppressing Hojo and Imagawa with 4,500, and 6,000 or 7,000 people. At the beginning, Takeda Harunobu's wife was the daughter of the Uesugi clan of Ogigaya, and Takeda Nobutora helped severely suppress the prestige of the Hojo family.

Anyway, I dare not say that I am invincible in the Eastern Kingdom, and Takeda Nobushige is not afraid in a one to two situation.

If you don’t accept it, do it! Don't compare!

Talking is useless on the battlefield. Fight each other with real swords and guns, and speak on your own merits.

Unlike Takeda Nobushige's leisurely stroll, Xiaoheita's heart was still beating.

The man opposite him was Nobu Nobushige, and in a sense he was the first generation of Japan's number one soldier.

If he hadn't died in battle at the age of thirty-five, Takeda Harunobu would have at least had an incomparably powerful assistant in his great cause. It is possible to go to Luozhou two years in advance, which is a pity.

But now Takeda Nobushige is in the center of the square formation, surrounded by the troops of Daisuke Anma, Hikosaburo Yukawa, Kanai Imofukusai and others. The commanding look is fascinating.

It would be nice to have an Italian gun.

The teams besieging Takeda Nobushige were not trying too hard now anyway, and they were fighting fiercely, but unfortunately the results were not great. A turtle shell composed of more than 4,000 elites cannot even be eaten by a tiger.

Kodaimae's team is Asahina's carpentry team, and it's not like their family is unwilling to contribute. After all, Taromaru Asahina is now the son-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, and his status is high enough, so the Yamauchi family is also looking forward to it.

It was a pity that their main elite team was stabbed in the waist by Oda Nobunaga in Ozazama. Half of the samurai retainers who had been fighting for generations were killed, and two hundred Ashigaru were also killed in the battle.

Today's Asahina team has insufficient grassroots officers and insufficient senior veterans. The team is all newly recruited. Their combat effectiveness is as different as that of the Takeda clan's Kaizo.

When Asahina Carpenter saw that Koheta had made up for it, he breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he saw reinforcements, he was there to besiege others, but he was beaten badly by others.

Another one is that the Asahina clan and the Masokōji clan are natural allies in the Yamauchi retainers group. After all, Asahina Taro's intended wife is Koheita's sister. This relationship is definitely close.

"Tanzheng." Asahina Carpenter greeted.

"Carpenter Assistant, who is the enemy in front of you? Do you have any iron cannons?" Xiao Pingtai also smiled and nodded.

"Opposite is the Takeda clan's general, Hikosaburo Yukawa, Shinren. He doesn't have any iron cannons, but he has more than thirty strong bows."

Asahina obviously suffered a loss. Seeing that he had not been too reckless with the iron cannon, he was called out by others with bows and arrows. Several people should have died.

"It's better if you don't have iron cannons." Others didn't have iron cannons, but Xiaoping had too.

"Chen San, now go up and command the iron cannons for me." "Okay, let's hit the target."

Chen San is very familiar with iron cannons, so it is not a big problem for him to command them. He was also very skillful in putting on the cannon, carrying an iron cannon on his back, and trotting around shouting at the iron cannon ashigaru to come out.

The long-handled ashigaru of the guard also put down his spear under the instruction of Xiaoheita, and started to advance while holding up wooden trusses and bamboo bundles.

Iron cannons are most powerful when they are fired at close range. If you want to shoot in front of the formation, you must have cover.

Qi Gui also followed up with a bamboo bundle. If the iron cannon could open a gap, he would rush forward with his ashigaru to widen the gap and occupy a position for the subsequent investment of troops.

Of course, Asahina's carpenter's information was very accurate. As soon as Nanaki and the ashigaru arrived at the shooting position, the wooden beams and bamboo bundles were put down, and a rain of arrows flew down from the sky.

Two unlucky guys, one hit in the arm and the other in the thigh, screamed and were dragged from the front of the formation. The shocked Tiepao Ashigaru lowered their bodies and pounced behind the bamboo bundles, for fear of being hit by bows and arrows.

Chen San did not wear a helmet, although the difference between wearing a helmet and not wearing a helmet was not very big at a distance of twenty or thirty meters. He still cherished his life, hunched over and loaded the bag behind the bamboo bundle.

Soon the sixty iron cannons were loaded. After all, Xiaoheita's requirement for them was that they could shoot in one minute. The spears that couldn't be pointed were sent out as cannon fodder. He couldn't afford to raise stupid people.

Chen San poked his head out. The Yuchuan team on the opposite side also had wooden pillars as cover. They were not just standing in the field waiting to be shot. In this world, who doesn’t go out with some bows, arrows and iron cannons? Bundles of wood and bamboo are always cheaper than armor, and may be more protective.

"Tiepao people! Raise your guns!" The Tiepao ashigaru placed their iron cannons on the bamboo bundles and took aim briefly.

"Shoot!" As soon as he finished speaking, a sound like crackling fried beans exploded.

The sound of sixty iron cannons firing at once was quite intimidating. After firing, the iron cannon ashigaru immediately lowered its waist and said, "Continue loading!" Tatsumi's orders continued to be passed down.

When the smoke from the volley dispersed, Xiaoping put up a tent with his hands to take a look, and rushed to the street! No one was killed!

Not even a wailing sound was heard from the other side, but two wooden posts were smashed, and that was the result of the battle.

"Tanzheng, let me help you!"

Koheita turned around and saw that Kanai Meigoro, who was wearing a bright Nanban crotch, came to join him with thirty or fifty people.

"Meigoro will pioneer for me?" "Okay!"

[Note 1]: In fact, it is not impossible. King Charles XII of Sweden once surrounded the 15,000 Russian troops stationed in the Poltava Fortress with 13,000 men, and then used 20,000 more troops to A head-on battle with 45,000 Russian troops.

I have to prepare for the exam in the last twenty days, so there may not be any more updates for the time being.
