A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Kanai Meigoro staggered forward two steps, swayed, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Quick, quick, quick." Xiaopingtai didn't know how many fast words she said in a row.

"Hurry up and get Lord Kanai back! Go quickly!"

Two soldiers from the Kanai team also lowered their bodies to check on Kanai Minggoro's condition.

What a tragedy it would be to lose a general before fighting.

"Look, Tansei!" Imagawa Yoshichika pointed at the battlefield.

Kanai Meigoro actually turned over and got up holding his chest. He pushed away the ashigaru who was supporting him, waved his sword, and told the soldiers to continue charging.

The shooting interval of the iron cannon is at least one minute. During this time, no matter how excellent the iron cannon ashigaru is, it is impossible to complete the loading and start the next round of shooting.

This great opportunity for a surprise attack cannot be lost.

But after the roar of the iron cannon, it was followed by a rain of arrows covering the sky and the ground. Originally, the Youchuan team had twenty or thirty capable archers, but now they added another two hundred. This lethality is comparable to that of iron cannons.

The ashigaru who had been supporting Kanai Meigoro just now was shot in the chest with an arrow. The crude tōmaru was really worth mentioning, and the arrow shot from more than ten meters away immediately penetrated him.

"Go quickly and ask how Lord Kanai is doing." Koheita looked at the two ashigaru holding wooden lintels and stood there stunned.

The so-called "no more than three arrows" can be used when approaching the enemy. This not only shows that the combat distance between the two armies in the cold weapon era is very close, but also shows the lack of projectile firepower.

With one round of iron cannons and a hail of arrows from the Takeda Army, the Yamauchi Army had already hit the Takeda Army's queue.

At this time, iron cannons and bows and arrows are not very useful, and you need to fight for your life with swords and guns. Qi Shuai said it well, when hundreds of people form a majestic formation, the brave cannot move forward and the timid cannot fall behind.

Are there any brave men? some. Samurai make their living by killing people, so of course they are very brave on the battlefield. Are there any cowards? More! The Ashigaru soldiers were just to cope with the lord's military service, and secondly to eat rice and be able to rob.

How can an Ashigaru fight alone? It's not impossible for a samurai to beat up a group of Ashigaru.

Now both sides are forming a horizontal formation, holding two guns, and entering the stage of handover.

But it is different from the slapping combat method used by Sanjian Gun or Sanjianqiang, and it is also different from stabbing each other with short-handled guns. The fighting methods used by the Yamauchi Army and the Takeda Army's Chiin Ashigaru are roughly the same, and they use fighting!

how to spell? Of course, the two guns were swinging at each other and hitting each other. An Erjian gun weighs more than half a pound, and it is usually carried when marching.

How strong can an ashigaru be who is not always able to eat every meal? How long can it be used? Those who wield such a two-room gun and can go all out for more than ten minutes are strong soldiers. At this time, people from the rear team should replace them and continue to fight and continue to beat each other with guns.

At this time, no matter which side is tired, or which side's substitutes cannot keep up. If the opponent is more powerful and fights more fiercely, it will be easy for the soldiers who have lost their strength to drop their weapons and run away.

This kind of fighting seems ridiculous, but it is indeed common. Because if you fight like this, no one will die!

So why was it said in the past that "strong soldiers" came out of poor mountains and harsh waters? Kaifei is surrounded by mountains and the land is barren. Echigo has heavy snowfall and a very cold climate. The people here are resilient and their hard life has tempered their perseverance and bravery.

They have a stronger desire to fight than the people in the plains (they can rob), and they have a relatively stronger body that has been tempered by nature (those with weak bodies will have long since starved to death).

At this moment, the fighting between the Yamauchi Army and the Takeda Army was like this. The Takeda Army was obviously more adept at fighting. Although it did suffer dozens of casualties due to the saturated firepower coverage, this did not prevent the Takeda Army from fighting in formation.

Hundreds of spears were used to fight each other. At this time, the bravery of Iwase Motomasa and Kanai Meigoro was of little use. They are more about standing in front of the formation, encouraging soldiers and motivating military morale.

At this time, Shichiki, who was the least skilled in martial arts, shined brightly. He also held a Nikan gun and gathered into the ashigaru array. He shouted slogans with the ashigaru and violently attacked the Takeda army. Because the samurai leading the team were personally present in the battle, the Qigui team fought the hardest.

This young samurai who was not outstanding and whose specialty was playing the pipe (pipe) also caught the eye of Takeda Nobushige.

"He is a samurai who dares to fight!" Unfortunately, no one spoke to Takeda Nobushige. Kanai Imofukusai had already gone to support Yukawa Hikosaburo.

"What do you think, Sir?" Xiao Pingtai was also very satisfied with Qi Gui's performance.

"It's time to prepare for replacement." Iwase Motaka did not directly answer Xiaoheita's question, but reminded Xiaoheita.

Koheita took a look and saw that the Takeda Army's ashigaru attacks were still so powerful, while on the Yamauchi Army's side, there were already ashigaru who were unable to hold their guns without strength. The intensity of the shooting between the two sides will be judged!

"That's what the boss said." "His Royal Highness Yuanzhou has the most powerful troops. Can you send another team up?" "Of course you can."

Imagawa Yoshiuchi waved his hand, and a samurai came over and rushed forward with more than fifty ashigaru.

Koheita looked at Asahina Carpenter again, but before he could say anything, he immediately took the initiative, "I'm going to replace Mr. Kanai." He also led dozens of others to fill in.

"Army A is really the strongest force in the world!" Kanai Minggoro finally retreated.

Everyone crowded up and looked at his chest. There was a dent in the imported Milan-made infantry chest plate, and the bullets were gone, but a blow to the chest must have been extremely painful.

The two Ashigaru helped Kanai Meigoro take off his armor and the silk wrapping, only to find that there was a small hole burned into it. Looking at the kapok cloth inside, there was indeed a small trace of scorch.

"It's really a favor from the young master. If it weren't for the Nanman carcass given by the young master, my life would have been handed down here this time." Kanai Meigoro looked scared. If it had been an ordinary carcass, he might have died here. .

Iwase Motomasa's eyes shone when he saw this effect. What samurai wouldn't like this kind of armor?

"I just don't know how much the price is?" Iwase Motaka saw the stars in his son's eyes and asked.

"If you want to order it, just throw it away. A full collar will cost seventy taels to eighty taels of gold." Xiao Pingtai knew that the price was a bit high.

Even Iwase Motomasa, who serves as Gaotian Shenjo Dai, has both knowledge and salary, and two incomes, he may not be able to afford such a southern barbarian body.

Iwase Motomasa hesitated, his face changing colors. Xiaopingtai estimated that he was short of money and might not be able to afford it.

So I took a general look at his body weight and kept it in mind. Seventy guan of money was nothing to Xiao Ping Tai. If he could combine the kindness of such a warrior, it would be extremely cost-effective.

"The Takeda Army has also been replaced." Yoshichichi Imagawa, who was more concerned about the outcome of the battle than his armor, reminded him.

"His Royal Highness's team has also arrived!" Yamauchi Eryinliang entered the battlefield with his big horse flag flying.
