The artillery experiment was a success, and all the samurai and retainers who had seen the power of artillery were amazed.

Sanada Yutaka bluntly said that this big iron cannon will cause the kingdom to collapse.

After all, fighting depends on morale, and the sudden appearance of this kind of artillery on the battlefield is easy for a country with a wide range of beliefs in Buddhism, thinking that it is the power of gods and Buddhas.

When artillery was first introduced to the Warring States, it was called the collapse of the country.

The point that the Japanese army lost to the Ming army was that the Ming army had more artillery, which was extremely advantageous to deal with the dense battle formation of the Japanese army, even if the Japanese army defended the city, it was pressed and beaten.

However, the terrain of the island country is not suitable for large-scale artillery, and there are a few light guns, which is already the limit.

This mountainous terrain, with too many artillery units, is easy to ambush.

Seeing that the artillery was successfully tested twice, the letter side was overjoyed and said: "Miki, hurry up and build, before the Takeda family invades, we will build four more guns!" ”

Miki asked, "My lord, how long is it going to be here?" ”

The letter pondered for a moment and said, "A little more than three months." ”

Miki hurriedly said: "Lord, this time is too tight, and it took a month for the villain to build this big iron cannon." ”

The letter frowned and said: "I will send you manpower to build four cannons within three months, and I will reward you with a surname, and if you have an additional big iron cannon, I will reward you with ten stones of Zhixingland." ”

Miki raised his head suddenly and said, "Lord, the villain must be created for you!" ”

Sanada Yutaka frowned on the side and said, "My lord, only names and weapons should not be given lightly, and it is Miki's duty to build a big iron cannon." ”

Despite being in the Warring States period, the class relationship was unbreakable, and of course not all of them were like this, starting with a man named Oda Nobunaga.

Of course, Oda Nobunaga did this because of his intimacy, and not everyone could do it.

It is now the twentieth year of astronomy, and in this year, Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, died violently, and Oda Nobunaga succeeded to the position of family governor under great pressure.

As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, he is still Matsudaira Takechiyo and is a hostage in the Imagawa Yoshimoto family.

At this moment, the believers are not afraid of these two people, they have not yet risen.

As for Sanada Yukitaka's opinion, Shinkata said: "Oh, it's just a name, as for making him a samurai, Kotaka has also seen it, with this big iron cannon, it will be more certain to deal with the Takeda family."

It's not easy to build a big iron cannon, and Miki should do his best to build one more, don't worry. ”

Sanada Yutaka thought that Nobukata said this just to stimulate Miki's enthusiasm, so he didn't refute it.

In order to hide the matter of the big iron cannon, Nobukata had to painstakingly create two targets to divert the attention of the Takeda family.

In the Void Hidden Mountain, you can see Toishi Castle here, where Kansuke Yamamoto is temporarily hiding.

A man dressed as a monk walked slowly into the mountain, occasionally glancing around, and then walking faster and faster until there was a temple house at the end of a path that looked like an abandoned temple.

The footman walked in, saw Yamamoto Kansuke, and quickly knelt down and said, "Yamamoto! ”

Yamamoto Kansuke frowned and said, "Call the poor monk Daoan outside." ”

The monk hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Kansuke Yamamoto asked, "Did you find out any news?" Why did so many samurai from the Ogasawara family go to Toishi Castle? ”

The walking monk said: "Ha, the poor monk has already found out, and the reason for this is because Ogasawara Nobukata saw that his new wife was skilled in bowing and horses, so he thought of the Ogasawara family's art of war.

Later, they went to Echigo to visit Ogasawara Nagatoki, and Her Royal Highness the princess of the Ogasawara family, through her mother and brother, asked Ogasawara Nagasawara to hand over the Ogasawara Art of War.

Moreover, after talking with Ogasawara Nagataka and Ogasawara for a long time, he actually asked Ueda Nobukata to change his name to Ogasawara Nobukata as his son-in-law's adopted son.

After that, Ogasawara sent people to call on the samurai of the Ogasawara family from all over the country to help Ogasawara Nobukata. As a result, he formed a team of Rogi horses in Toishi Castle.

Ogasawara Nobukata is now in Toishi Castle, and he is training his samurai Higashino Nobukatsu and Sanada Nobutsuna in the training of this team of ryuzuma.

Although the method of training is not clear, I have heard many people say that the training method is not the same as Ogasawara's art of war. ”

Kansuke Yamamoto nodded, thinking to himself, it can be seen through the information that Ogasawara Nobukata will change his name and become the son-in-law and adopted son of the Ogasawara family, all because of the princess of the Ogasawara family.

He wondered why the princess would help her husband become an adopted son-in-law. And Ogasawara Nobukata actually agreed.

It can be seen that Ogasawara Nobukata agreed with this matter.

Thinking of Ogasawara Nobukata himself, Kansuke Yamamoto suddenly realized that he was a guardian, and he had been wandering for a long time to protect Ogasawara, so he naturally wanted to go further.

It can be seen that there must be Ogasawara Nobugata secretly helping in this.

Kansuke Yamamoto figured out the twists and turns inside, and knew why Ogasawara did this for a long time.

He nodded, "Yes, keep working hard and find out how this team of Dysprosium horses is training as soon as possible." ”

The walking monk nodded, "Dao Anzuki, not only that, Ogasawara Nobukata has formed another horse team in his hands, and these horse teams use very strange weapons, but short clubs more than two feet long.

But the short stick would explode twenty or thirty paces away, emitting white smoke, and then the wooden target in the distance would shatter. ”

"Iron cannon?" Yamamoto Kansuke muttered, "This iron cannon is obviously intended to be used on horses, iron cannon cavalry, what is the use?" It shouldn't be as good as the Demophilia. ”

He looked up at the Monk and asked, "Anything else?" ”

The monk nodded, "On the side of Matsuo Castle, there are often sounds, like thunder, and a large number of craftsmen have gathered over there.

Tennojiya in Sakai Port had a partnership with Ogasawara Nobukata, who helped him recruit craftsmen from all over the country. ”

Kansuke Yamamoto's face was solemn, and he found that Ogasawara Nobukata was a little more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

The footman finished talking about what he had spotted and left.

But not long after the monk left, a scream was heard not far away.

Kansuke Yamamoto didn't have time to think, he subconsciously knew that he was in danger, he immediately got up, and several ninjas appeared outside the door, as well as Denbei.

Chuan Bingwei hurriedly said: "It's the Sanada family's fine work!" ”

Kansuke Yamamoto hurriedly asked, "Who is in charge?" ”

"Youzu Shinmasa."

Kansuke Yamamoto's eyes froze and shouted, "Go!" ”

The Bianbei helped Yamamoto Kansuke to leave, and the rest of the Hosaku went to intercept the Sanada ninjas who came to pursue.

Kansuke Yamamoto didn't dare to stay for long, and fled all the way into Suwa County before stopping.

He didn't care about resting, and hurriedly went to Takeda Harunobu with the news that Hosaku had heard back.

When Kansuke Yamamoto came to visit Takeda Harunobu, Takeda Harunobu was soaking in the hot springs, but in fact, Takeda Harunobu was not in good health, which may be one of the reasons why Takeda Shinhoku disliked Takeda Harunobu.

When Harunobu Takeda learned that Kansuke Yamamoto was back, he didn't let him wait long, and directly asked him to come to the hot spring together.

He saw that Kansuke Yamamoto looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Kansuke, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yamamoto Kansuke replied: "Ahaha, I was discovered by the Sanada family's Hosaku, and I was chased and killed by them all the way, and I almost couldn't come back." ”

Takeda Harunobu sighed: "It's only my fault that I was defeated in Toishi Castle, which caused Kotaka to fall to Matsuo Castle, otherwise you wouldn't be in danger today." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto bowed his head, then told the news to Takeda Harunobu, and then said: "Judging from Ogasawara Nobukata's methods, he is trying to train a horse team to fight against his own horse team, or to build more iron cannons against his own family. ”

Takeda Harunobu nodded and said, "Since the last time Iitomi Shosuke told me about the cavalry troops of Echigo, I want to build a strong cavalry unit.

Now that I've handed it over to Iitomi Shosuke, soon, the Takeda family will have a stronger team than before.

As for Ogasawara Nobukata's Ryuzama horses and iron cannon cavalry, they all started attacking from a distance, and such a horse team was a great threat to our ashigaru troops.

However, they should not be good at close combat, which is not dangerous for the new cavalry of the family. ”

Although Kansuke Yamamoto thought the same thing, he still admonished Harunobu Takeda, and he felt that he still needed to conduct a deep investigation of Ogasawara Nobukata.

And they thought that Ogasawara Nobukata was most likely defensive, but judging from the fact that he built a cavalry unit, he must also have the intention of attacking, after all, cavalry troops are generally used to attack.

Kansuke Yamamoto said what he thought, and Harunobu Takeda smiled, "If he takes the initiative to attack, it will be a good thing for the family." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke also nodded, after all, he hoped that the family would lose less troops and subdue Shinano, so that it would be easier to deal with Echigo.
