A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Of course, six thousand-pound cannons with a heavy weight of 100,000 pounds, and a double-linked cannon are nothing compared to the cute ones next door, but in the East Kingdom, they are a top-notch killer weapon that can destroy the world and destroy the earth.

One more thing, whether it is the Takeda Army or the Hojo Army, there is a complete chain of contempt within them. (Takeda) Kai Headquarters - Shinano clan - Suruga clan, (Hojo) Sagami Izu Shodai Ichimen - Musashi's nominal imperial family royal horse returns - Sou, No, Kam, Jō, Fushu and other states The cannon fodder for all the Chinese people in the warehouse.

So now in front of Koheita are our old acquaintances Suruga Okabe Masatsuna and Katsurayama Ujimoto. Both teams have about 2,000 people, fighting the hardest battle and suffering the greatest losses.

Too many warriors of the Suruga clan died in Okehazama, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. However, after Takeda Yoshinobu brought his son to the country, a large number of the second sons and third sons of the Kai samurai family were stuffed into the Suruga clan, which ensured the combat effectiveness of the Suruga clan. .

Even thanks to Takeda Harunobu's consecutive victories, the military morale of the Suruga people has improved to a certain extent.

But what's the use of being higher?

Okabe Masatsuna naturally knew that the Fujiwara bombs and iron cannons on the opposite side were sharp, and he would drive all the iron cannons to take the lead in any battle, with two to three hundred iron cannons circulating back and forth. After a few rounds of volleys, the worse team collapsed immediately, while the better ones were just struggling to fight.

But now across the Tone River, can the iron cannon hit a hundred meters? It should be possible to hit it, but the lead bullet has already flown somewhere. Let alone hitting someone, the sound may not be scary. So he wasn't afraid at all. Even though the cannon was powerful, it still had to be able to hit people.

But it was strange that Xiao Pingtai actually pushed many carts to the river beach and built a platform on the river beach, as if there was something there.

Before he could figure out why, he was greeted with hundreds of lead bullets in his face, overwhelming and killing people.

The Suruga people arrayed on the river bank only heard a series of terrifying loud noises, and then suffered the fate of death.

In just two minutes, the southern bank of the Tone River seemed to have been plowed over, and thirty muskets were fired like thunder. There was no one standing, and the waving flag was gone.

The troops on the left and right sides of the Yamauchi Army on the north bank were originally watching how Koheta defeated the enemy, but in the end, the entire southern bank of the Tone River was wiped out just by taking a sip of tea.

The most surprised person was of course Kamiizumi Hidetsuna. This "Sword Master" originally thought that even among thousands of troops, he could survive in ten battles. Until he saw Xiaopingtai's Folangji cannon, his firm mood actually wavered a little.

Naturally, the Takeda army on the south bank was not dead. When the cannon fired for the second time, when the bravest samurai and the loyal men in the first row were killed, the whole team became loose. By the time the third artillery fire came, the soldiers in the rear row had already begun to retreat.

By the end of the five rounds of cannon fire, all those who were not afraid of death had been killed, and those who were afraid of death had long since run away. There wasn't even a wailing person on the ground. The one who had the strength to wailing would have to run even if he was rolling and crawling.

"No! It's a big tube!"

Hearing the sound, Takeda Harunobu's first reaction was to kill him!

When the big barrel is fired, it is like thunder. A dozen lead bullets can hit a row of people with one shot.

"Are there dozens of large barrels? Impossible! The Tone River is at least thirty kan wide, and the large barrels cannot hit it!" Takeda Nobushige also reacted.

"Send someone to the river bank quickly to investigate the situation!" Takeda Harunobu immediately sent a centipede.

But there was no need for him to send anyone, and all the ghosts in Suruga fled back, crying and howling. A team of 2,000 people faced each other in two minutes, and more than 300 people were killed. Anyway, these days, if you are shot, you will die, and if you are injured, you will be dead.

The Geshan clan was most unjustly accused. He was looking after someone with a pergola and was taken care of. He was shot at least dozens of times. The scene was so broken that it was impossible to watch. There was no way to get the head back, so he had to do it.

Okabe Masatsuna was lucky, a flag stood in front of him and saved his life. He frightened an old lady into getting out of bed, squatting down and falling to the ground. The two family members held him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and ran back without looking back.

As for the horse mark? The flag bearers were taken care of in the first round of bombardment, and no one survived. Naturally, all the horse flags were thrown into the street.

"Otate-Otate-Otate (Okabe Masatsuna's lord is Imagawa Hikoro, so I can't call him lord). There is a big iron cannon on the other side. The rate of fire is very fast. It comes in one breath, and hundreds of guns are connected in a row, making endless noises."

Although he was beaten badly, Okabe Masatsuna was still a qualified general. He knelt on the ground and reported to Takeda Harunobu.

"I'm afraid Fujiwara Bomb Masa has invented a new barrel, which is more powerful and has a longer range." Takeda Nobushige looked at Takeda Harunobu.

"I am afraid that the river bank cannot be defended. Immediately send someone to inform Hojo that our troops will withdraw later."

"Your Highness, if you retreat without a fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." Although Yamamoto Kansuke knew that Takeda Harunobu did not want to lose men and horses, he still warned him.

"What do you say, Kansuke?"

"The big cannon can only hit twenty to thirty bays. Now the new big cannon fired on the other side can hit about seventy to eighty bays. We will form an array outside the hundred bays. If the bomb is crossing the river, the two armies will be in trouble. At the same time, he can't shoot."

"Yes." Takeda Nobushige expressed his support first.

Later, the leader of the formation, Yuan Changyin, Takeda Yoshinobu, and the old writer Tomohomasa and others said that this was safer. Although Xiaoping Tai's cannon shocked them, they still did not understand the true meaning of "the times have changed" and thought that Xiaoping This is the only way Tai can do it.

We can praise the Takeda Army here. They have been advancing with the times. As long as they think other people's stuff is good, they will learn quickly and are not ashamed to imitate others. As long as you can become stronger, you can pretend to be a grandson and study.

They learned how to use the Uesugi Army's cavalry, and they also learned how to use the Yamauchi Army's iron artillery intensively. Of course, the Takeda Army also knew that the Yamauchi Army had large iron cannons (large barrels), and there were a lot of them, while the Takeda family only had a few.

Therefore, the two thousand men of Suruga who were the first to attack were defeated and dispersed, and the Takeda army was not surprised at all. Hearing the explosion, the generals of the Takeda Army in formation knew that Fujiwara Bomb Masaru must have pulled dozens of large barrels over.

The first reaction was actually: Fujiwara bomb was really rich, he fired a big gun with hundreds of Yongle coins, and he actually used it to deal with the weaklings of the Suruga people!

The second reaction was: The Suruga people are really weak, didn't they just take dozens of large cannon rounds? We all saw it when we were on Kawanaka Island when Yamauchi Habayashi and Fujiwara fired hundreds of guns.

So when the Shinano and Kai tribes advanced to the sound of Taiko drums in the main formation, the first thought of the Takeda generals was to obey the order, and the second thought was to let the bravest soldiers carrying bamboo bundles and wooden rafters go to the front row. It can withstand big bullets.

Of course they didn't know that even if they were standing a hundred rooms away, they were still within the effective killing range of Xiao Pingtai.
