The next day, Takeda Yong organized his troops to set up a position on the edge of the large lake on the side of Mt. Fukishi, although Mount Fuyoshi was adjacent to the sea, but it was too close to Yokosuka, and in order not to anger the Governor's Palace, which had never been perverted, Takeda finally chose this place that could barely provide fire assistance to the troops.

Since it was almost certain that Fu Jishan was the last reliance of the Zanyi Society, the decisive Takeda Isamu immediately mobilized all the troops he could mobilize overnight and came here, and gave the delicious bait of Shinkyo to the volunteers with their own evil intentions. His idea is very simple, as long as the praise wing is destroyed, he will be so powerful, he is only confident that he needs to rely on himself to suppress the so-called "volunteers".

After taking the troops to bypass Shinkyo and set up a position from the north, Takeda Yong directly asked those samurai to take the troops to feint at the foot of the mountain, while he took a large army and all the ships on this trip as long-range artillery support to surprise attack the largest natural lake under Mount Fuji - Lake Fuji.

Originally, I thought that several natural lakes under Fuji Mountain would become the most anxious places for contention, but I didn't expect that when the troops covered the ship girls and forced them into the lake, they found that there was no defense in the entire lake. Although the resistance of the garrison here was as stubborn as if it were a decisive death, Takeda Yong, with artillery support, quickly put an end to the heavy firepower that was not painful for the ship's girls, and then quickly established a front-line headquarters on the shore of this large lake overlooking the entire Fuji Mountain.

With the garrison of the ship's maidens, Takeda Isamu was relieved to press all the regular troops' formations to the north and northwest of Mt. Fuji in three places suitable for attack. Listening to Fu Yutong's judgment, Takeda Yong didn't want to drag down the defense of the Zanyi Society at all, so he only left two reserve teams, and in his mind, this was fighting for his life and fighting for time with the other party. He agreed with Fu Yutong's words, even if Zanyi would be careful and even give up on Xinjing's desperate attempt to get out of an artillery battle, it would definitely be an extraordinary artillery battle that could affect the battle situation.

As Isamu Takeda had imagined, the march towards Mt. Fuji was met with fierce resistance, and even the foothills of the mountain where the samurai had feinted turned into a battle to the death, and the army guarding it was like crazy, not only fiercely counterattacking his troops, but even taking advantage of the firepower advantage to fight a counter-charge. In just an hour of firefighting, more than 700 sworn allegiance, skilled in guns and swords, were wiped out by a large number of ordinary soldiers by shelling, strafing, and even white-knuckle combat. If it weren't for the fact that the army was almost entirely made up of samurai, it might have collapsed long ago before it had even broken through the foothills.

Seven hundred samurai defeated the plan and required thousands of companies to accompany William, who did not expect it, but he thought of the next plan, "Boss, let your samurai troops continue to advance, since the opening is opened, don't care if it is a feint or not! Although it is difficult to support with the ship's mother, with their ability and the reserves, the success rate of breaking through the defensive circle should be more than 86%. ”

"Well, you go and send a report, let all the reserves follow in the footsteps of the samurai, and half of the original frontal troops will be sent to the foothills, and then let the rest of the troops feint under the guns of the ship, and be sure to charge or cover it with fire once in thirty minutes. Takeda touched his chin as he spoke, looked at William fiddling with the transmitter on the side, and said, "And William must remember next time that they are samurai, not troops! ”

"Isn't a samurai just a soldier with a sword?" William was a little puzzled, people in this country always like to do things in twists and turns, but this is the only thing that he doesn't like.

"Hahaha!" Takeda Yong's mood obviously became much better because of the bravery of the samurai, he listened to William's words and laughed a few times before saying: "Samurai, that is a very incredible group of people, you may not know, I am also a descendant of the samurai family, and it was my dream before becoming a samurai!"

"Oh! I heard from the clouds that you can hit three people with one fist, I thought it was bragging!" William said as he typed the code, thinking in his head: the samurai are really muscular men, otherwise how could they still insist on using the ancient transmitter and flag language in this era.

"Samurai can fight, but it's only the most basic condition!" Takeda Yong smiled and shook his head, "William, if you want to know the language, next time I will introduce you to a woman from the martial arts." ”

"The kind of woman who would kill her husband and then commit suicide should forget it. ”

……

At the foot of Mt. Fuji on the north side of the mountain, the slopes connected to the flat land are littered with fallen corpses, burning vegetation, and abandoned firearms. On top of this, a group of people covered in blood and wearing iron or bamboo armor were sitting around the military flag painted with blood-colored six-pattern copper coins, resting their breath.

"This group of people really escaped without being beaten, only a quarter of them died. "One of the few samurai who had a meeting with Takeda at the Army Shofu at the beginning, he was not tall and had no traditional hairstyle, so even Takeda Yong didn't pay attention to him at the beginning. However, he was overwhelmed by Takeda's blood-stained six-pattern bronze coin banner, and not only rejected Takeda's reward after Kamiroku's success, but also assembled a team of all samurai to serve the adult in his mind.

"Sanada Bighead, isn't this normal?" said the samurai wearing an abominable demon armor on the side said with a smile as he wiped the katana in his hand, "We are samurai, and the ancestor of the ten guards in front of my palace has defeated an ashigaru brigade by himself, and I am already impressed that they can hold out for so long, haha." ”

"It's good to call me Shinbei, we're not Ashigaru, what are you called!" Sanada Shinbei said and looked at the artillery whistling in the sky from time to time and sighed, "The times are different, in the era of swords, we can fight a thousand enemies, but now is the era of guns and ships." As he spoke, he shook his head again, "But I won't admit defeat, we are samurai, so we have to take out the soul of a samurai, just like now!"

"That's what the samurai say. "It is worthy of being the head of Sanada", "The spirit of the Sanada family is really not inferior to that of Takeda-sama." ”

Sanada Shinbei's words caused the samurai who were resting around him to applaud, but he didn't care about these and waved his hand and continued to ask about Miyamae beside him, "How many casualties have you reported to Takeda-sama?"

"According to the actual report, counting those who could not hold a knife, a total of one hundred and seventy-six were reported. Miyamae said as he put his knife into the sheath and put on his helmet again, "Don't worry, Sanada Bighead, we're definitely the fastest." Even if it were such a casualty, I believe Takeda-sama would not let us end!"

"After all, times are different, didn't that group of troops say that if more than thirty percent of the troops are killed, it is easy to retreat?" Sanada said and hammered his thigh cross-legged, "What a group of shameless red deer! As he spoke, he groaned in frustration.

However, it didn't take long for the good news to arrive, and Takeda Yong still let them continue to rush towards Fuji Mountain as a striker.

"Great! Sure enough, Takeda-sama is our master!" Sanada Shinbei stood up laughing with the telegram, "Everyone, the achievements are ahead, is your knife still sharp enough?" he said as he raised his hand and held up the telegram.

Sanada's arrogance and Takeda's decisiveness really stimulated this army, which was composed entirely of samurai. In the midst of the cheers, no one was afraid of casualties, they only had the courage of a samurai, only the ambition to make a contribution, as if for them a samurai was supposed to fight between life and death.

"When the reserves come, we will charge! Where those innocent little girls can't reach, it's up to us to use our swords to open the way for Takeda-sama to move forward!"

"Oh!"

……

The samurai with the six-patterned bronze coin banner advanced very quickly, and it was impossible for the samurai to lie on the ground and kill many enemies with precision with their spears compared to splitting a man in two with a katana. So often, after a burst of fire, they rush into the enemy's position at full speed and chop everything that moves to the ground. And this time, with the cover of conventional troops and heavy firepower, the casualties paid by their swift and resolute tactics were also much reduced.

At this time, Sanada Shinbei, with bandages on his arms and side waist, was mixed in with the stormtroopers, but there was only excitement in their hearts, because they found a fortress entrance protruding from the mountainside!

"Rush! Lord Takeda's hegemony is ahead!" Sanada Shinbei shouted loudly, although his short stature and injury made it impossible for him to rush to the front again, but his voice still mobilized all the samurai and the surrounding regular troops.

The regular troops seemed to have a tacit understanding to begin the suppression of fire, while the samurai men had already begun to accelerate the charge.

"Boom" A huge cannon sound exploded in the regular army attacking the fortress, and the huge roar and air wave reminded everyone present of the fear of being threatened by the giant cannon! After that, it was covered with fire one after another.

It was definitely not an army-sized artillery, but a naval gun with a caliber of more than 300 mm. But it will definitely not be an attack from the ship girls, not to mention that there are not enough places in the mountains to exert all their firepower, and it is impossible for those simple and kind ship girls to attack humans in such a continuous manner.

After the artillery stopped, the samurai who charged forward finally saw the steel monster that was emitting gunpowder, more than two people tall and eight or nine people wide, with obvious tracks on both sides, black smoke rising from behind it, and various machine guns distributed all over the body in addition to a main gun in the front.

The large iron box covered with rivets was clearly a man-made machine. Regardless of the rough-looking appearance, the round turret, which could never hold a 300-millimeter main gun, no one knows how they managed to do the kind of shelling they had just done.

Although there are only three such monsters, and it seems that they can't be shelled consistently, this kind of momentum alone is enough to scare off ordinary people.

"Well, what kind of monster is it!!" Sanada Shinbei looked at the huge iron box, and for the first time there was fear in his eyes.
