A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Shocking and enlightening!

Yuan Mei's Supplement to Suiyuan's Poetry Talk in the Qing Dynasty: "These few words are shocking and enlightening. I think there must have been pedantic Confucian scholars at that time who talked about poetry based on classics."

It is not appropriate to use it here, but it is very appropriate!

The cannon on Hongo Mesa opened fire!

The raging fire of Edo Castle burned half of the sky red, and now it was a night battle there, just like the day battle. Originally, the cannons in the Yamauchi main formation were beyond the reach of Edo Castle, but due to Sanada Masayuki's suggestion, they were dragged out again.

At first, the Hojo Army was mixed with the Yamauchi Army under Edo Castle, and they were far apart, so there was no place for artillery. But now it is very different. The Hojo Army that crossed the Hirakawa did not choose to evacuate at the speed of light, but launched a strong attack on the shaken main formation of the Yamauchi Army.

The riverbanks, swamps and farmlands were full of Hojo troops rushing towards them, and behind them was a bright fire. What a coincidence!

But not to mention Oishi's photo, even Xiaoheita didn't expect that it was one to two o'clock in the morning. During this time, one's subconscious mind was late at night. When fighting, you have to be very focused and have no time to think.

How can you break the string in your mind and think about using a cannon in the middle of the night?

At this time, Yamauchi Giho, who was guarding the base camp with a child in each hand, had no actual combat and had free time to wander around.

Watching the battle situation closely, the Hojo army, whose morale was extremely high, was about to beat the old master to death with random punches and overturn the mountain inner army. Yamauchi Yoshiho is also worried!

However, he not only had to guard the main mountain team, but also control the two small mountains, and he couldn't do it at any time. If he goes to kill people, how can he do it without an adult who is the backbone of the formation?

Yamauchi Yoshiho held his head high, constantly observing the battle situation, and commanded Murakami Yoshimitsu, who was guarding the team, to continuously send envoys down the mountain to investigate the situation. I only heard that Kanai Meigoro of the 5th Division of Hatamoto was defeated and the Hirakawa Bridge was lost. Nakayama Iehan was the first to rush forward and hit the reinforcements of Hosokawa Saime coming down the mountain...

Various news came, none of which was beneficial to the Yamauchi Army.

"Hey!" Yamauchi Yoshiho sighed heavily and sat on a large wooden box.

The wooden box was placed on a car, placed at an angle, and Yamauchi Yoshiho could not sit firmly. Just when I was about to stand up, I helped myself to sit down and take a closer look! Isn’t this a towed artillery carriage for a cannon?

"Where's the cannon? Where's the cannon?"

"Right here!" A horse guard guarding the formation opened the cannon jacket, and the bronze cannon glowed in the firelight.

"Then what are you waiting for? Fire at Hojo at the foot of the mountain!" Yamauchi Yoshiho jumped up.

The gunners who woke up half asleep were summoned. Originally, they were also full of bitterness. How could they use the cannon at one or two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night. But when we arrived at the artillery position on the platform, we discovered that it was a great preset artillery position!

The trees in the shooting area have been cut down long ago, and nothing is left. Except for the billowing smoke and floating ashes, the sight is surprisingly good.

And down the entire hillside were the Hojo troops charging towards them like Shura demons. There was no close formation, but they were full of bloody courage.

The results of the battle would not be too great. After all, they were not fighting a phalanx of infantry in a tight formation, but the crowds on the hillside were enough to kill the Hojo Army.

So why are you hesitating? open it!

"You called?" Now it was Yamauchi Yoshiho holding Yamauchi Taro, and he looked at the busy big head in front of him.

"This is Chiba Jie Yinsheng!" Taro Yamauchi remembered that this person was, after all, a subordinate samurai of his own team.

"Yes, yes, it's the little one!"

"Shoot in a crowded place! You can't tell how much gold you can get by firing a cannon!" He was chanting the poor sutra, but Yamauchi Yiho's expression was extremely excited.

"boom!"

The loud noise of the cannon overwhelmed the fierce fighting between the two armies down the hillside. The first loud noise had not faded away, and the second and third explosions occurred in sequence.

The Hojo Army, which was still in a state of madness and violently attacked the Yamauchi Army, suddenly woke up!

No matter how crazy you are, you still have to calm down after being shot! It's just that some people are physically calm and some are mentally calm!

The raging fighting spirit that had just been put to death quickly subsided with the continuous shells smashed into the crowd.

I even ran out and got a spanking!

If you don’t run now, wait until later!

How fast they rushed out of Edo Castle, how fast the Hojo Army turned around and ran away!

When Oishi Shiteru saw that the offensive was blocked, his army's morale changed, and he was filled with hatred! Or he made a mistake himself! The fire forced the soldiers to leave the city to fight to the death, and also illuminated the entire Edo.

Isn't this an opportunity to send it over to the Yamauchi Army to fire!

But he was a hero after all. He couldn't see it and didn't even hesitate. He turned the horse's head and ran away. The huge crowd of people rushed towards Sagami Odawara almost instantly.

There were cheers on the home ground that was still in turmoil, but the battle ended so easily?

Chase!

If you don’t pursue it at this time, how can you make up for all the losses you suffered!

The Yamauchi Honjin on the Hongo platform continued to fire artillery, completely breaking up the Hojo army's queue, while beating the passionate Yamaga-ryu taiko drum. Encourage the soldiers to take advantage of this good situation to pursue the Hojo Army.

The various coalition forces that were originally stationed in scattered camps and guarded the camps also went down the mountain to arrest them, arresting every one they could.

Koheita was originally hesitant whether to go down the mountain to help Hosokawa Minae or retreat to the top of the mountain to join Yamauchi Taro. As a result, I watched a cannonball whizzing past my head. It was so exciting!

I suddenly became smart! I have a cannon, why don’t I clean the floor? How nice is it to wash the floor?

There’s nothing to say about this battle, it’s time to draw its end.

When he ran to Yamauchi's main team, Yamauchi Yoshiho was screaming excitedly. He held Taro Yamauchi in one hand and hit him wherever he went with one finger. The posture of scolding Fang Qiu is just like the iron Ruyi commanding Ruode.

"It seems that Izumo Mamoru turned the tide!" Mrs. Xiaoping didn't understand.

"Oh oh oh oh... Danzheng is here. Hahahahahaha... I got it by chance, but I didn't expect it to work wonders!" Yamauchi Yoshiho put Yamauchi Taro down and came over to say hello to Xiao Heita.

"It looks like Izumo Mamoru must be the first to take credit for this battle!"

"Let's give in!" The two people praised each other.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Yamauchi Taro's face was full of sleepiness. He was at the age when he was sleepy. He had been making trouble for most of the night, but now he has finally calmed down. How can he not be sleepy?

"Nothing's wrong! I'm sorry to see you in my uncle's thoughts."

"Take your highness to rest!"

Just as he was talking, Hosokawa Saime also came to the main formation. As soon as she entered, she shouted, "It's so good, so good!" She was overjoyed when she saw the cannon that was still steaming after being fired.

A few people sat down, discussed for a while, and then began to order people to pass on military orders.

It is inevitable to capture Hojo's defeated troops, and there are many samurai among them. The second step is to gather the defeated soldiers and wounded of our side, deal with funeral affairs, and count the battle losses.
