A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Wait a moment, don't rush this moment." Koheita pressed down on Kanai Meigoro with his hand.

"The Nanman crotch fits you very well." "It's all the favor of His Highness, the Young Master." Kanai Meigoro really likes this Nanbaru crotch.

But he may have superior martial arts skills, so he never fights on horseback and always goes into battle on foot. I just don't know if the heavy weight of this southern barbarian body will affect his actions.

But looking at him running like flying, leaping left and right, this is what he looked like after running more than ten kilometers early in the morning. The physical fitness of these warriors, who have been training in martial arts since childhood, is indeed far superior to that of farmers.

"Meigoro, from what you see, how can we break the formation?" The iron cannon ashigaru fired another volley, and one ashigaru fell down wailing on the other side, but someone quickly came up to replenish it, and the wooden rafters and bamboo bundles also made up for it.

"Well, I'll take a look again." Kanai Meigoro saw that Takeda's army was well-organized, coordinated smoothly, and everyone was united. It was completely different from the so-called "armies" he had encountered before, and they could be called brave.

"Not inferior to the Mitsukoshi soldiers led by Commander Kasugayama!" "Moreover, the enemy general Takeda Norimu is wise, brave, and decisive."

The two people exchanged views.

"There are still too few iron cannons firing correctly. If there are three to two hundred people, divide them into three columns, circulate back and forth, and fire continuously. After weakening the enemy's formation, go down and give it a try, and you may be 50% sure."

"How far are my lord's troops? How far are they from you?" Kodaita knew that Yamauchi Yoshiji's troops had more than 300 iron cannons, all of which were standing ashigaru that he had favored.

Ever since the Yamauchi family acquired dozens of Izu-ryu iron cannon craftsmen, they have worked hard to train apprentices and expand their workshops over the years. Their annual output is only more than 400 iron cannons, plus 200 barrels.

In addition to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's custom-made short-barreled horses, other iron cannons have also been gradually installed in the entire Yamauchi army. There are now more than a thousand iron cannons in the Yamauchi army. It's a pity that they are scattered and not completely used together.

"My lord can arrive in a quarter of an hour at most. Before I came, I had already seen my lord's big flag of the two leaders inside the mountain."

Maybe you can temporarily borrow the iron cannons from Yamauchi Yoshinori's main team, so that the four hundred or so iron cannons can fire in a round at him, pouring out four hundred rounds of projectiles a minute, and the elephant will also be sieved for you.

"Then we'll wait a little longer. When the lord's iron cannons arrive, they will attack Takeda's stable." Xiaoping was too unhurried.

It was just past noon now, and the early spring sun was not hot at all, so they couldn't afford it.

"Play right, play right." Xiao Pingtai heard someone calling him from behind.

"Hello, Your Highness Enshu." When everyone saw that Yoshiki Imakawa was coming, they all dismounted and saluted. The most pitiable thing is Asahina Carpenter, this is his old master, and he still has to kneel down.

"Everyone, get up, Danzheng. I just saw you coming out. Who could stop you for so long?" More than half of Imagawa Yoshichita's family fortune of more than 10,000 yuan was obtained by Koheta for him. From this, he Very close to Xiaoping Taiji.

"Opposite is the headquarters of the Takeda clan's general Hikosaburo Yurakawa, which is quite difficult to deal with." Koheita replied with a smile.

"Let me take a look." As a result, several attendants came over immediately next to Imakawa Yoshichichi, holding up wooden poles. Before everyone could react, Imagawa Yoshichichi actually ran out.

"Oops!" Iwase Motomasa, who had been silent for the whole time, shouted, then he followed after holding up the wooden truss.

Everyone was shocked, how could Imagawa Yoshiuchi be so powerful? He knew that his opponent was powerful, but he dared to attack him so recklessly.

However, Koheta thought it was good. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu often fought in person. If Imagawa Yoshichichi is so courageous, as long as he fights more battles and is less impulsive, he will be a good general in the future.

Moreover, if Iwase Motomasa follows, he will definitely be able to catch him, so it won't be a big problem.

"Hey, why are you here, sir?" Koheita found that Iwase Motaka, who had retired, was also here.

"Tojiro is assisting His Highness Enshu. You can't make any mistakes. I'm an old man and I can't take any time off. I'll leave again while I can move."

After he finished speaking, the two people who had gone to watch the formation also came back.

"What did His Highness Enshu gain?" Koheta looked at Imagawa Yoshiki with some interest.

"It's really powerful, not inferior to the banners under my father's command." Imagawa Yoshichichi took the kettle and took a sip of cold boiled salt water.

"Is there any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Imagawa Yoshichichi shook his head. The Yuanjiang people under his command were not the world-famous strong soldiers. Moreover, some of the samurai he managed to win over were just two or three kittens that escaped from the Ozazama battlefield. It was hard to say how strong their organizational power was.

"By the way, I have a hundred iron cannons under my command. I think the ammunition will be of great use." Imagawa Yoshitsune seemed to have thought of something and was very surprised.

"Really! Get here quickly, Minggoro and Tojiro. I may have to trouble you to rush into the formation later."

"Okay." Everyone agreed and agreed.

It's good to have a good father. Yoshiki Imakawa actually has a hundred iron cannons, which is very important.

Hearing hurried footsteps, hundreds of iron cannon ashigaru were mobilized, with an iron cannon team leader taking command from the front. The coordinated ashigaru also held up some wooden rafters and bamboo bundles as cover, and rushed forward together.

The firepower is greatly enhanced! The battle was so filled with smoke that one could no longer see the situation on the other side.

"It's not enough. All the soldiers who are good at using bows and arrows in the army will be gathered immediately to supplement the shooting. The enemy must not be able to counterattack." Xiao Pingtai was the one with the smallest number of troops present, but he seemed to be the commander of everyone. .

The bow and arrow ashigaru of each team and the monks carrying bows and arrows gathered one by one and rushed forward.

The scene was extremely spectacular, because nothing could be seen at all, and all one could hear was the banging of strings and the crackling of iron cannons like fried beans.

The smoke was billowing non-stop, and just as it was about to dissipate, it ignited again. Fortunately, there is no need to pursue accuracy. Four or five hundred people can shoot with iron cannons, bows and arrows, as long as there are enough.

The fight was lively here, but Takeda Nobushige had already noticed something was wrong. The firepower on Xiaopingtai's side was too strong. After all, they were setting up on flat ground and had no castle to rely on.

There is definitely no way to withstand such firepower, and it may even penetrate the Yukawa team directly.

"Quickly transfer the fifty iron cannons of our team to support the Yukawa team. In addition, Imafukusai, you can transfer two hundred bow ashigaru to go with them, otherwise I'm afraid it won't work." Takeda Nobushige transferred his team's iron cannon ashigaru Sent out without hesitation.

Takeda Nobushige reacted quickly, and Koheta didn't respond too slowly.

"The time has come! Everyone, fight quickly!" After speaking, Koheita grabbed Imagawa Yoshichichi who was about to make a move.

Kanai Meigoro, Iwase Motomasa and Nanaki each rushed forward with dozens of people shouting.

However, the thick smoke obscured the mobilization of the Takeda Army's iron artillery team, and no one noticed that the Takeda Army's support had arrived.

The iron cannon exploded violently, and Kanai Meigoro, who was as light as a swallow and rushed the fastest, suddenly stopped!
