The first attack of the Takeda family killed and wounded nearly 100 people, which can be said to have suffered many casualties, and the general Kohata Tora was hit by an arrow, which was in the shape of a Mitsubishi.

This is an imitation of the Qin arrow, which can break armor.

When Kohata Toramomori retired, Harunobu Takeda came to visit with his retainers.

Pulling out this arrow, he almost killed Kohata Husheng, who fell asleep because of the loss of more blood.

The doctor told Harunobu Takeda that Kohata Toramori's situation was not very good.

Takeda Harunobu frowned and said, "I can give you whatever you want, but you must cure Kohatama Castle Mori." ”

The healer said with a sad face: "Takeda Dianji, I can only try to heal as much as possible." ”

This time, a solemn atmosphere lingered in the sky above everyone.

Takeda Harunobu was silent for a while, and then said, "I'll come back later." ”

With the departure of Takeda Harunobu, the healer breathed a sigh of relief.

They returned to the shogunate, and Takeda Harunobu sat on top of it and said, "You have all met today, think about how to break through the past." ”

The maze-like formation of antlers was commonly used in the Warring States, but it was all made of bamboo, and the letter side was more ruthless, burning it with heavier wood and then smearing it with wet mud, so it was hard and heavy.

It was more laborious to lift, and it was hit by iron cannons and bows and arrows, and it became a strong line of defense.

Kansuke Yamamoto said with a smile: "Pavilion master, the antlers are very neatly arranged, although it is very deterrent, but it also gives us a chance."

We can tie some bamboo rafts and carry them up to pave a path! ”

Takeda Harunobu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh! Yes, Ogasawara Nobukata would definitely not have thought that he had such a flaw. ”

Soon, Takeda Harunobu sent his miscellaneous soldiers to look at the bamboo, and as for the waste of time to process the wood after it was cut down, the bamboo was faster.

In this way, within two days, the Takeda Army built a large number of bamboo rows.

This time, the general Tada Mitsuyori led the attack.

Tada Mitsuyori is a subordinate of Itagaki Nobukata and one of the "Five Ministers of Koyo", known as the "Ghost Slayer", and legend has it that he once killed the hellish ghost envoy in Kai Mountain.

In addition, there is a special nickname called "Sanhachiro", probably because his nickname is "Sanhachi".

Tada Manyori is known as a master of night warfare, once in the Battle of Koarama in February of the ninth year of Astronomy, the Takeda army relied on the advice of Tada Manyori to use the cover of residual snow to launch a night attack, and defeated the Murakami Yoshikiyoshi army, and was promoted.

Tada Mitsuyori is very legendary, but there is very little information about him, although he and Yokota Takamatsu, Hara Torayin, and Kohata Toramori were praised by Takeda Shintora as generals who could lead the Ashigaru army, but compared to the others, he always had too few opportunities to be prominent.

Tada Mitsuyori fought steadily, and soon broke through the wooden fence defense line and reached the antler defense line.

He asked the front row to prepare a lot of wooden bunches, and at the same time, he also asked people to prepare heavy bamboo bundles.

The iron cannon projectile hitting the bamboo bundle is not like a wooden pole that can be pierced, and it takes several shots to do it, and Tada is full of joy, and immediately asks people to go back and tell Takeda Harunobu to build more bamboo bundles.

Immediately afterwards, the ashigaru carried a bamboo raft and put it on the antlers on the periphery, so that there was a ramp to go up.

Tada Mitsuyori immediately asked people to carry the bamboo bundle up, and the ashigaru behind immediately carried the bamboo raft forward, and this time put the bamboo raft outside, and many of the ashigaru exposed their bodies, and were shot by iron cannons or bows and arrows, and there were casualties.

But fortunately, the first batch of bamboo rafts has been placed on the antlers, paving a way.

The letter in the city was annoyed and said angrily: "Prepare a big iron cannon!" me! ”

The Samurai Hachimoto next to him immediately left and ran to find the big iron artillery team, and Miki did it desperately for the sake of his surname and the place of knowledge.

Before the outbreak of the war, he built five large iron cannons, so he was given the surname of the letter and twenty stone of Zhixingdi.

Today's Miki is called Otsuki Miki.

The large barrel, which was popular in the Edo period, was directly called the "big iron cannon" in the Warring States period.

Therefore, the letter took the big tube as the surname of Miki.

The original meaning of the large barrel was to refer specifically to this type of large-scale arquebus. People who were accustomed to living under the rules and regulations of the Tokugawa shogunate were accustomed to dividing things into categories and taking their seats.

In the classification of firearms at that time, an iron cannon that fired about 10 loads of ammunition was called a medium barrel, and a gun that fired more than 30 meshes was called a large barrel.

However, it was later that the Japanese summed up all ancient large firearms with the title of large barrel, which caused many misunderstandings.

匁 is a short word for "two". The unit of weight (kanji) is equivalent to one coin and weighs 3.759 grams. For large firearms, the word "eye" is commonly used, which is also used as a tong.

Because the large barrel adopts the arquebus-style firing structure, although the caliber of some large barrels is very large, equivalent to small artillery, its essence is still the same as that of iron cannons, which are fired by pulling the trigger.

The volume of the large barrel is much smaller than that of the cannon, but the power is not weak, so there is a lot of production.

After being eliminated by history, the large cylinder is often welcomed as a collection, and a lot of it is preserved, and the related information is also quite rich. Most of the length of the large cylinder is less than 1.8 meters, which is less powerful than the cannon, which is the main reason for the elimination of the large cylinder.

As for the way of launching large cylinders, the practices of different schools are not only the same, but also limited by the large cylinders they use. The large cylinder is small, so it can be launched by standing and holding. This statement is also used in most of the relevant literature when describing the method of launching large cylinders.

In addition, the tail of some large barrels is alienated into a grip, and the gunner holds the tail of the barrel in his right hand, and raises the barrel horizontally with his left hand to aim at the target and fire.

As for some large cylinders, their launch is more troublesome. According to a circulating book, the gunner held the large cylinder at an angle, in a half-squatting position, with his back against the stacked rice bags as support.

However, there are still some doubts about the way the large cylinder is launched. What kind of way should the large cylinder with a total length of more than 2.8 meters be launched?

Judging from the average height of Japanese men at that time, which was less than 1.6 meters, it was probably difficult for manpower to launch handheld. Perhaps the launch was carried out by assuming it on top of a stand and a trolley.

This is why Japan took a crooked line in the musket and expanded the size of the iron cannon into a large barrel.

The reason why the letter uses a large tube to give a surname is to confuse others. Only he knew that this was artillery.

At that time, even if others knew about such a powerful weapon, they would think it was an iron cannon, and then expand the specifications of the iron cannon. This is a deliberate attempt by the letter to distort them.

Miki is very familiar with the big iron cannon, although he teaches others to use the big iron cannon, but the accuracy is relatively poor, and the big barrel Miki shoots with an extremely high head.

In desperation, the letter had to let him lead the large iron artillery team during the war.

In order to facilitate the transportation of the large iron cannon, the letter party ordered someone to build a wheelbarrow gun car, fixed the large iron cannon on it, guarded the back, and the wheels could adjust the angle of the cannon independently.

Therefore, the big iron artillery team also has to carry some struts to support the sports car, so that they can be fixed after the angle is adjusted.

Miki Otsuki received the order from the letter side, and his heart was overjoyed, he knew that his opportunity to make a battle exploit had arrived!

As if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he brandished the katana he had bought with a lot of money, and brandished: "Little ones, it's my turn to make a move!"

This battle is Uncle Ben's first battle, don't lose Uncle Ben's face! Hold up the big iron cannon! ”

Several ashigaru immediately shouted and pushed the big iron cannon up to the castle tower, the so-called castle tower is actually four meters high, and the height of the lower floor is one meter eight, which is enough for the ashigaru to stand up.

Miki commanded two large iron cannon squads to climb the castle tower, then fixed it, pointed the muzzle of the cannon to the narrow opening, and quickly loaded the ammunition.

At this time, dozens of Takeda troops outside had already crossed the antler defense line and were approaching the last trench defense line.

Soon, the big iron cannon had already been loaded, and Miki's eyes were red, and he immediately raised his katana and shouted, "Shoot!" ”

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two low and deafening cannon sounds rang out in a row, and the Takeda family Ashigaru standing on the antlers was killed and wounded several times in an instant, the bamboo bundle was also broken, and there were also ashigaru casualties in the queue behind.

Tada Mitsuyori happened to be on it, and at that time he only felt a scream, a strong wind blowing, and a stream of heat, and then the samurai next to him instantly lost his upper body, and his armor was broken.

The bamboo bundle was shattered, and the fragments splashed all over him, all over his face, and there were many small wounds.

With the screams of the wounded soldiers, Tada Mitsuyori came to his senses, he was frightened for a moment, and then said angrily in his heart: "I am a samurai samurai who has killed ghosts!" ”

"Don't stop, keep attacking!" Tada Mitsuyori shouted to the team behind him.

The samurai of the Tada family immediately urged the ashigaru to continue the attack, and several retainers ran to Tada Mitsuyori's side and said, "My lord, you can retreat, and the minister will command for you!" ”

Tada Manyori said angrily: "I'm not even afraid of ghosts and gods, am I still afraid of this?" Stand down! ”

The retainer hurriedly said: "My lord, my family has injured a fierce general, if something happens to you, the morale of my family will be greatly affected!" ”

Tada Manyori was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "Hateful! What kind of new weapon did this bastard Ogasawara Nobukata get! ”

"Boom!"

Two more cannon shots, this time even the bamboo platoon was damaged a lot, and the offensive of the Takeda family was instantly frustrated.

At this time, there was a sound of gold in Takeda's main formation, and Tada was helpless, so he immediately ordered the troops to be collected, and the letter immediately asked people to lead the army to attack, and chased and killed for a while before retreating.

Tada Mitsuyori returned to his main camp with a ashamed face and pleaded guilty to Takeda Harunobu, who said, "It's not your fault. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke was ashamed and said, "This should be a new weapon secretly built by Ogasawara Nobukata, the big iron cannon."

I couldn't hear the details, I thought it was about the same as the iron cannon, but I didn't expect to see it today, this power is not comparable to the iron cannon. ”
