A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 740 21. Meigoro’s decisive battle
Standing behind the fence, Sasana Narimasa shouted excitedly when he saw Kanai Meigoro, who had been hiding behind the crowd, finally preparing to rush in.
The Folang machine guns assembled by Nobunaga also went through a lot of hardships and were carried on the shoulders to the front of the battle. With Sasaki Narimasa's shout, the Folang machine guns on the earthen platform were immediately fired.
It's also no wonder that Kanai Meigoro's attire is so dazzling. His Nanbaru body is covered with gold foil. When the newborn sun shines down, people can't open their eyes. But there's nothing we can do about it. These days, everyone's armors are becoming more and more gorgeous and eye-catching.
The wars that took place hundreds of years ago were wars between warrior nobles. As long as the warriors rode in circles and shot bows and arrows, it would be fine. At most, the scope is expanded to include a gang of disciples. It is really like brothers fighting, father and son fighting in battle.
Now the situation is different, war has expanded and civilians have become civilians, and any man may be passively involved in the war. It is really difficult to expect these small farmers, who have faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, and have lived on tares all their lives, to be able to recognize the flags and drums clearly and distinguish between generals.
It's better to dress more showily, it will be easier for the whole army to recognize you!
After the shooting of the three muskets, the smoke became thicker. Many places were originally covered in smoke due to the continuous firing of the iron cannons, not to mention the addition of the French muskets.
"How is it! How is it!" Sasaki Namasa was naturally very concerned about whether he had achieved results.
No one answered him! Because even though there were cries of being shot in the smoke, the particularly dazzling "scarab beetle" still jumped forward, with the two knives in his hands spinning like flying!
"Advance! Advance!" Kanai Meigoro shouted loudly, using the sword in his palm as a banner.
Surrounded by hundreds of elite soldiers going forward, although they were violently bombarded, firstly, only a few people were killed, and secondly, Kanai Meigoro was unscathed.
Oniganjing is in the battle, and as long as the battle fatality rate does not exceed 5%, this elite feudal army will not collapse!
"This!" Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him couldn't believe it. After being hit by a three-wheeled Folang machine, this man was still rushing forward without any trouble.
"Hanbei, there won't be any bullet-avoiding gods in this world, right?"
"Huh? No..." Takenaka Shigeharu, who was standing next to Hashiba Hideyoshi, frowned. Although he said there should be no, he was actually not sure.
There are eight million gods in the sky. Maybe there really is a god who can avoid bullets? Hashiba Hideyoshi thought that after this battle, he would go home and find a priest to ask carefully. If there was one, he would donate it to a shrine and enshrine it.
"It's me, Kanai Meigoro Hideharu, who's here to ask for advice!" Just as the two were thinking, Kanai Meigoro's loud shout came.
"What are you two doing?" Masakatsu Hoshizuka raised a gun and ran towards the fence.
Now that Hideyoshi Hashiba is the master of the Mankan Daimyo, no one would dare to shout at him like this. But Hachisuga Masakatsu was different. He was Hideyoshi's friend from poverty, and the two of them grew up poor together. It is said that in history, even when Toyotomi Hideyoshi had replaced Nobunaga as the common man in the world, apart from Azaka, only Hachisuga Masakatsu still called Hiyoshi by his nickname.
Others were silent, but Hideyoshi laughed and didn't care. Later, it was decided to make Masakatsu Hoshikatsu the leader of the Awa Kingdom. Masakatsu Hoshizuka bluntly said that he would not do it. He would rather stay with Hideyoshi and be the patriarch of the writing family than to be rewarded by a country.
In the end, it was his son Hachisuga Kasei who resigned from the domain, while Masakatsu served Hideyoshi until his death. In fact, this pair can be regarded as a king and a minister, and a good story will be passed down.
"What Xiaoliu said is true. Xiaoliu said it is true." Hideyoshi was really not annoyed at all. He took the spear handed over by Masakatsu Hachisuga and went to the fence to urge the soldiers to resist.
Fortunately, with the active force of 300 iron cannons, Hashiba Hideyoshi felt that the pressure was not so great. Regardless of Kanai Meigoro shouting and charging forward with his sword raised, once he reached the firing range of the iron cannon, he was still very well-behaved, with bamboo bunches and wooden poles in front, and there were also people with bows and iron cannons who fought back behind the fence.
Previously, there was a gap in the second central horse defense fence. Now there are dozens of Yamauchi troops struggling to maintain the gap, waiting for the follow-up army to join in and expand the gap together.
Otherwise, it won't be long before the Oda army counterattacks from all directions and they will be unable to retreat from the gap!
But Kanai Meigoro was not in a hurry. He had always served as Koheita's deputy general, fought with caution, and attached great importance to the Oda army in tactics. Moreover, this kind of swordsman has an extremely determined mind. If a normal person is hit by a shot, not only would he be frightened, but he would at least take a moment to slow down, and he will go into battle as if nothing happened.
Some things have haste but waste!
Hundreds of people finally came to the fence, and the Oda army's iron cannons stopped firing. The ashigaru armed with knives and swords rushed forward, and stabbed each other with the Yamauchi army who tried to chop down and pull out the fence.
"Yamauchi Inemon is here, who dares to fight me!" Naturally, someone from the Oda Army shouted.
Soon someone came to meet them. The Jinjing team did not lack samurai who were good at fighting. Kanai Meigoro drove directly into the gap. He wanted to widen the gap to meet the Hosokawa Zaimei team who was rushing behind, and let Hosokawa Zaimei's thousand cavalry troops rush into the Oda formation.
Seeing that Kanai Meigoro was not even afraid of the Buddha, Oda Nobunaga who was on the stage was also a little unbelievable. There was actually a general who charged into the artillery fire and escaped unscathed.
"Yasuke, aim at that gap! Shoot!" Nobunaga pointed his bamboo stick.
"The enemy is mixed with us, do we really need to shoot?" Ota Ushiichi saw soldiers from both sides mixed in the gap, and he was slightly doubtful.
"If Onigai is killed, then he will die well, what's wrong with that!" Nobunaga didn't care about the lives of those miscellaneous soldiers. At this time, how could he still care so much.
Kanai Meigoro, who originally thought he only had to worry about the swords and guns in front of him, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. When he raised his head, the two cannonballs in his pupils enlarged infinitely.
Years of battlefield experience made Kanai Meigoro react immediately, but no matter how fast a person is, he can't get past the cannonball. The moment Kanai Meigoro fell down, a cannonball fell at his feet.
Another artillery shell also fell in the gap without distinguishing between friend and foe! In an instant, more than ten people on both sides died in the shelling. Seeing this hellish scene, the troops in the mountain finally collapsed. Two close family members rushed forward and prepared to drag Kanai Meigoro to retreat.
But when they looked at Kanai Meigoro again, they saw that one of his legs was smashed, and the horrific wounds revealed white bone stubble.
"Very good, I will let you take a look. Before I became a general, I was an ashigaru, and I still am now! If an ashigaru is thirty years old and has not died in battle, then he is a waste!"
After saying that, Kanai Meigoro actually used his sword to stand on the ground, limping and continued to charge towards the gap. The ashamed soldiers rushed forward and stood beside him. A family member held the "five" flag high and shouted wildly for war. The retreating soldiers changed their colors and attacked all visible Oda troops with swords, guns, fists, and even teeth.
The central team took the lead and broke through the second stage of the horse defense fence!
