A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Seven or eight iron cannons were used to great effect. After one round of firing, only three Takeda soldiers were killed. The others only screamed twice and did not even make any move to fish people out of the water.

In the blink of an eye, the first bamboo raft washed ashore directly.

"It was me, Zeng Genba, who was the first to land!" A soldier from the Jia Army didn't even have a firm footing, but he immediately shouted his name.

The two ashigaru stepped forward together and stabbed him fiercely with two spears. There is no doubt that this Zeng Genba had not accomplished any merits. He vomited blood from his mouth and died immediately.

But the two ashigaru didn't even have time to cut off their heads. The river beach was filled with rafts rushing up quickly. In a short period of time, no fewer than forty or fifty Takeda troops gathered on the river beach. Without forming a team, each of them brandished their swords and guns to kill the Qiancheng Golden Bamboo Leaf Horse Mark.

And Xiaopingtai, who was wearing Nanman's attire, became a great meritorious service in the eyes of the soldiers of the Jia Army. A famous warrior with knowledge and practice of 1,300 guanwen was not seen that often.

Aji stayed close to Koheita, and worked together to kill a crazy-looking Kabuta ashigaru. The man was still holding on to Koheita's spear before he died. His eyes seemed to be bleeding, and he refused to give up.

Xiaoheita quickly abandoned his gun, pulled out Muramasa, and cut off the man's cage hand with a knife. Thanks to Chen San's daily maintenance, Koheita's Muramasa sword is in excellent condition. The sharpness of the blade cut off the man's hand to the roots, and the man fell straight up.

Due to the sudden appearance of the Takeda Army on the river beach, the last breath that Koheita's troops were holding disappeared after ten pauses. Even though the samurai were still fighting, the ashigaru were already trying to find a way to escape.

"Attention, we can delay retreating up the mountain for a while, and maybe we can find a chance to survive." Chen San came limping over with his face covered in the stench and filth of blood and soot mixed together.

"Yeah, let's go now!" Aji ignored the swelling and pain in his left arm and clamped Xiao Pingtai's arm.

The two hugged Xiao Pingtai and left. Chen San immediately knocked Xiao Pingtai's eye-catching Nanman face-covering bag to the ground, leaving it to the soldiers of Army A to fight for it.

"Heiroku, tear off all the bamboo leaves and throw them out!" Heiroku saw that Heiroku and Kurosawa were preparing to run away with Heiroku's horse tag weighing hundreds of taels of gold alone.

When Pingliu heard this, he immediately broke the horse flag, leaving only half of it. He randomly pulled out a handful of dozens of golden bamboo leaves and threw them at the Jia army chasing after him.

The golden bamboo leaves were so eye-catching that Kurosawa did not hesitate to grab a handful and throw them at Army A. The soldiers of Army A who were still brandishing swords and guns were in chaos, and some of them stopped unconsciously.

Some people still wanted to attack Xiaopingtai and gain military exploits, but some people jumped up, threw away their swords and guns, and went to snatch the gold floating in the sky. Those who came before bumped into those who came after, and those who came after pushed against those who came before.

The pursuit team of dozens of people suddenly dispersed. No one in Xiaopingtai and his party felt sorry for Jin Zi, so they ran away.

The soldiers behind the fence had shaken and dispersed. The soldiers of Army A were slashing and stabbing with swords and spears, holding the wooden fence with ropes, and using their strength in unison to pull down the last obstacle blocking their progress.

"Don't rush! I, Ogasawara, and Shiro are here!" The arrow came, and Ogasawara Nagasaki, who had asked for fifty reinforcements for Koheta, came galloping over.

Without turning back to take a closer look, I knew that Ogasawara Nagamasa was galloping on his horse, and his mastery of Ogasawara-ryu dysprosium equestrianism, which is well-known throughout the world, was unparalleled.

The arrow shot through the air, making a stinging whistle, and a warrior from the Jia army who was still chasing Xiao Pingtai fired an arrow in his face. With a muffled grunt, he paused and immediately fell to the ground.

Before the whistle of arrows stopped, the second one came again. In response to the sound of the string, another person fell to the ground.

When they reached the ditch, Ogasawara Nagamasa put his feet on the horse's belly. The horse recognized people's feelings, neighed, jumped over Nagato with all four hooves. He rushed into the Jia Army soldiers who were chasing Xiao Pingtai and stepped on them with his hoof, saving his life.

However, Ogasawara Nagamasa kept his hand, and with a bang of the string, another member of the A-sergeant group was hit with one arrow. In just a short moment, four people were killed in a row, shocking both armies.

"Who is that person in the enemy's formation who is constantly firing and galloping?" Takeda Harunobu has been staring at the battlefield, and now he is much closer, and he can clearly see Ogasawara Nagamasa's heroic appearance.

"It should be Ina, the direct descendant of the Ogasawara clan, the Yamauchi clan's banner general, Tamataki Castle Dai, Kiso supervisor, Ogasawara and Shiro Nagamasa." Takeda formation leader Yuan Changyin was familiar with the enemy's situation and was the first to answer.

"Back then, Nasu and Kazuichi hit the fan on the bow of the ship with their arrows. Now Ogasawara and Shiro are not inferior at all."

Takeda Harunobu sincerely admired him. In Kaiguo, there were many warriors who were brave and good at fighting and who were the first to reach the top. Even a walking bow can hit the target with perfect accuracy, but one who can do it so skillfully while riding a horse is indeed rare.

"It's as good as the praise of "Kon Yuichi"." Takeda Nobushige also admires this kind of samurai with real kung fu.

Others may be dissatisfied with other aspects, but they admire his ruthless equestrian skills. I have to accept it.

This title of "Kon and One" was inadvertently known to the warriors of the Takeda family.

While the few people were talking, Ogasawara Nagamasa's long bow did not stop at all, protecting Xiaoheita all the way as he retreated to the hillside.

However, the fifty bow ashigaru he brought were not as courageous as him. Seeing how the battle situation had deteriorated, most of them turned around and ran towards Iida Castle. Only the ten most loyal ones retreated to the mountains together.

When I reached the nearest hilltop, I looked at the crowd. They had abandoned their helmets and armor, and they had no weapons or weapons. The number of people checked, including Hanaoka City's military guards who were already on the top of the mountain and Ogasawara Nagamasa who came for support, totaled less than a hundred people.

Of the more than 200 iron cannons, only about 30 were lost, and there were not many gunpowder pellets left.

Not to mention drinking water, food, flags and drums, etc., all were lost.

Before everyone could sit down and take a breath, the Takeda army attacked from the bottom of the mountain. It didn't rain for a day and a night. When the wind blew at the mountain pass, the difficulty of climbing was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, only a few scattered people attacked, but they were forced to retreat after a round of arrows shot by Ogasawara Nagamasa. It did temporarily alleviate the crisis and get a moment of rest.

After the Takeda Army at the foot of the mountain failed to take advantage of the chaos to attack the mountain for the first time, they stopped and took command. On the one hand, they completely leveled the land, pulled out fences, and filled in trenches. On the one hand, they sent out left and right forces to surround the hilltop, making it airtight.

"It's my fault that everyone is dragged down by me alone and put in danger!"

Xiao Ping's hair was disheveled and he fell down on the dirt floor. He completely lost the charming look he had in the past when he commanded Ruo Ding and scolded Fang Qiu.

With tears on his face unknowingly, he beat the ground with his hands, wailing and apologizing to everyone who believed in him, defended him, and rescued him.

No one said anything, and some Ashigaru soldiers shed tears unconsciously. Everyone is aware of it!

I would like to express my sincere thanks to my book friend Yao Yuyan for treating me to thirty-six cute sticks!
