On 17 October, the third day of the division of the Shogunate Army, the Appeasement Army attacked on all fronts, and the troops launched an attack on the Shogunate Army's position in three directions, and the decisive battle of Sekigahara officially came to an end.

In charge of attacking the arrowhead position of Nangong Mountain was the army of the Nagato Domain, and the lord of the domain, Mori Tsuna, personally went into battle, wearing a ten-character pattern of Jinhaoori, wearing a delicate sword handed down from his ancestors, and under the escort of a group of retainers and samurai, he stood high under the three-star horizontal stripe of the Mori family crest to supervise the battle.

Mao Li said to the retainers with a serious face: "There is an old saying among the Han people, where you fall, you will get up from where you fall, do you think I can get up this time?" ”

The retainer Masuda Yasuji stepped forward and said solemnly: "The lord personally came to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and said to the soldiers of our Nagato Domain, it is a great encouragement, and Nagato will win!" ”

Maori nodded slightly, and said, "It's not enough to just supervise the battle, I also have to personally charge and advance and retreat with the samurai!" ”

Yasuji Masuda still had a smile on his face and continued to praise.

However, he knew that his father-in-law had said this a little early.

Sure enough, the banner of sending troops has been played, and the first wave of Nagato Domain's musket team has also gone up, but the Maori outline is still there, just quietly watching his subordinates charge into battle.

Before the war, the Ming Dynasty had sold 20,000 muskets and 200 cannons to the Dead Ghost Emperor Shaoren, and Shaoren distributed this batch of ammunition to his cronies, and the Maori family, as the leader of the Fallen Shogunate Alliance, was given 4,000 muskets and 50 cannons.

In the Battle of Kyoto, the Shogunate Army suddenly sent troops to attack and defeated the Shogunate Alliance, and the Nagato Domain was directly stunned, and the people ran away, but the fifty cannons could not be taken away, and the Shogunate Army was cheapened in vain.

However, with these 4,000 muskets, plus the training of Ming officers, the army of the Nagato Domain was finally presentable.

In the first battle of Nangong Mountain last time, the Nagato Clan performed the best, if it weren't for them carrying it to the death in front and maintaining the big array, the appeasement army would have collapsed earlier.

This time, the Nagato clan received some munitions from the Ming army, and the armament rate of muskets reached 70%, which is where the self-confidence of the Maori Outline lies.

The battlefield was chaotic with drums, and the battle had already begun, and the 8,000 musketeers of the Nagato Domain lined up in four formations, and under the protection of bamboo bundles, advanced to the positions of the shogunate army layer by layer.

The shogunate army had been prepared for this for a long time, and Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi ordered a large number of wooden fences and horses to be placed in front of the Nangong Mountain Formation, and more than 4,000 iron artillery soldiers from the headquarters of the Owari Domain were placed behind the wooden fences to fire at the musket team of the Nagato Domain.

The muskets in the formations of both sides rang out like popping beans, and the thud was very fierce.

The 4,000 iron artillery of the Owari Domain used muskets supplied by the Dutch, the same flintlock pistols, and their projectiles were heavier and more powerful than those used by the Nagato Domain.

In the seventeenth century, Europe and the Ming Dynasty had different styles in the firecracker, and the European firecracker was equipped with a heavier projectile, with great lethality and strong armor-piercing ability.

In contrast, the Ming army was equipped with lighter projectiles (listed in the Lumi gun) in the past, and the projectiles of ordinary bird guns were lighter.

However, the Ming army's firecrackers had crosshairs and illuminated doors, and the European ones at this time did not, leading the European firecrackers in terms of accuracy.

In terms of reloading, both sides used custom-packed paper shell medicines, and the theoretical rate of fire was comparable, and the strength and weakness of the actual combat mainly depended on the usual training situation.

Since the shogunate was on the defensive, with a large number of wooden fences to resist horses, the Nagato Domain's advance was very weak, and their projectile penetration was not strong, although the wooden fence was splashed with sawdust, but the lethality to the shogunate army was limited.

"Fuck, a group of shrunken turtles, only dare to shrink on defense, and have the ability to have a real fight with Lao Tzu"

Seeing that his men were not making good progress, the Maori Outline, who was getting more and more frizzy, shouted: "Push our artillery up!" ”

The artillery of the Nagato Domain was captured by the Ming army from Osaka and Kyoto, and the Ming army did not look down on these things that were eliminated from their own hands, so they were left to the appeasement army.

The Nagato clan was fortunate enough to receive thirty cannons, but due to the lack of cannonballs and artillery, they kept them in the camp as if they were treasures, for fear of damage.

Now that the war is tight, the Maori outline can't take care of so much, let's talk about Nangong Mountain first, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the Royal Forest Army brothers behind!

The musketeers retreated, and the artillery of the Nagato Domain lined up in front of the formation, learning from the artillery fire of the Ming army, and launched a fierce bombardment of the wooden fence of the shogunate army on Nangong Mountain.

The addition of artillery soon changed the tide of the war, a large number of wooden fences were pierced by cannonballs, and the shogunate soldiers behind the cat were even more beaten to the bone and screamed.

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi was a little breathless, he didn't have such high-end gadgets as artillery in his army, he had it at home, but not here.

The Tokugawa shogunate made some artillery and imported a batch from Batavia, but most of them remained in important towns such as Edo and Osaka, and the few guns assigned to the Owari clan were also set up on the main castle to guard their homes.

After the baptism of artillery fire, the defense line of Nangong Mountain, the wooden fence wall was broken in many places, and Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi had to order to send 10,000 shogunate troops to attack the Nagato army in three groups.

Seeing this, the Maori Compendium was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the musketeers to go up.

The Nagato army crossed the artillery, and without waiting to stand in array, as if they had seen prey, they fired vigorously at the shogunate army that appeared.

A good army must at least be ordered and banned, but the Nagato army is obviously not, they line up crookedly, show offensive shooting, and the guns are uneven.

However, Rao was like this, and he also killed a lot of shogunate troops.

On the battlefield, whether it is a cavalry array or an infantry array, when the battle really starts, it will soon be chaotic and each will fight its own.

It's like five people going up to start a group, they all know where they should be, and when they get started, God knows where the shooter went!

Like the Tianwu Army, there are very few who can maintain a large-scale tight array to advance or defend for a long time, even in the major systems of the entire Ming army, it is rare.

Not all Ming armies are elite, especially on the battlefield to maintain a musket array of more than 10,000 people, only the Tianwu army can do it.

The other Ming armies were organized with a maximum of a few thousand people, and if they fought more, they would be chaotic and split into regiments or battalions to fight alone.

In front of Nangong Mountain, after a few rounds of shooting, the two armies were already facing each other at close range.

The Nagato army did not coerce, because they had bayonets, and they would do it if they inserted them!

Little Japan is still very talented in fighting bayonets, and the Nagato Army's favorite thing is to fight bayonets.

For a time, the two armies fought inextricably.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the battle was still at a stalemate, but the soldiers of the Cheung Chau Domain became more and more brave because their feudal lord personally came out!

Mao Li did not break his promise, he rode a black-haired war horse, held a long-handled knife that lasted for a battle, and led the soldiers of the Nagato Domain to crisscross the battlefield left and right, fighting back and forth, and for a time he actually penetrated into the defense line of Nangong Mountain for a distance of dozens of steps.

Under the family crest of the Shogunate Army's Owari Domain, Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi pointed to the Maori outline that crisscrossed the battlefield, frowned and asked: "Do you know who the dark horse will be?" ”

He squinted at the binoculars left and right, and replied, "This is the outline of the daimyo mori of the Nagato domain, and the nickname mori show." ”

"Maori Show?"

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi raised his eyebrows, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and he ordered left and right: "Go and pick a few samurai with good marksmanship, so that this guy will never be able to show off again!" ”
