197. The Battle of Blockade

When the sun rises, it shines on my back, and it is as powerful as my heart.

At the moment of dawn, Hashiba Hideyoshi saw that the strength of our mountain top was very limited, and his strength was several times that of mine, so he immediately ordered to storm the mountain!

In the distance, the reinforcements of Shibata Katsuya and the brigade of Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him came across the mountain, and the two sides happened to be unable to see each other.

The only difference is that last night, I had Sakuma Morimasa bring a message to Shibata Katsuie, who actually had more information than Hideyoshi.

Therefore, at this time, although our coalition forces were anxious with Hideyoshi, we were not very worried in our hearts, because with our backs to the big trees, there was absolutely no reason to panic.

I raised my gun and looked through the scope at the enemy below, and as soon as an enemy samurai emerged from behind the boulder, I fired the trigger decisively!

The bullet whizzed through the sky, swept over a distance of more than a hundred meters, and struck the samurai's Adam's apple!

Suddenly, a tuck of blood came out of the back of his neck! The samurai rushed forward two steps with inertia, and then fell heavily to the ground!

His fall caused a panic among the people around me, and I secretly calculated the trajectory in my heart, condescendingly, and sure enough, it was a precise hit, and after considering the distance, I raised the muzzle of the gun slightly, and then aimed at the bullet in the abdomen and hit the neck. It seems that you should still aim directly and not add corrections!

I looked up at one of the archers in front of me, the feathers on his helmet tilted to the right, and the same was true of the archers around me, and I thought to myself, North Wind! The trajectory should be slightly corrected to the left.

In my previous life, when I was learning to snipe, I studied the direction of the wind very seriously. Under normal circumstances, long-range shooting requires the correction of wind deviation, but it is divided into windward deviation and upwind deviation.

The more commonly used is headwind bias, in short, the bullet is shot against the wind, or there is a lateral wind during the flight of the bullet, the bullet will be offset in the direction of the wind, in short, because of the headwind, the bullet will be out of sight. At this time, it is necessary to move the muzzle slightly against the wind, that is, against the wind, and the impact point of the bullet will be slightly biased towards the direction of the wind than the position of the preview, and finally reach the desired target.

The situation of windward deviation is relatively rare, mainly seen when shooting rocket launchers and other tail ammunition in later generations. Because the warhead of * is heavier than the bullet tail, it is affected by the wind, and the bullet tail will be displaced more than the warhead in the direction of the wind, and the warhead will be offset in the direction of the wind.

This creates a singular phenomenon* that flies in the direction of the wind, and the stronger the wind, the more it shifts in the direction it came. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the aiming position along the wind direction to achieve the purpose of accurate aiming.

I secretly chanted the mantra in my heart, in fact, it was not necessary, shooting has become a habit for me, but I don't know why, in this life, when shooting, I always like to read words, it seems to have become a habit, sometimes I am inexplicable.

I always feel as if I've seen this scene somewhere, and if I think about it, it is the American blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan" that I watched in my previous life, when the Normandy landing, the sniper played by the elven prince Orlando Bloom, every time he shoots, he recites the words of the Bible in the air. I now find that this is indeed beneficial to the calmness of the heart. I don't know if it's a psychological factor......

Another shot knocked down a rattan soldier who was charging up the hill with a shield on his head, and I didn't aim at his upper body, because the whole thing was covered by the shield, so I hit his only exposed ankle!

After one shot, he collapsed, grunting downwards and knocking down a large number of people! The enemy's offensive in that position suddenly slowed down.

This effect is much stronger than a direct hit, and in addition to knocking down other enemies, the wail of the wounded person will also increase the burden on the hearts of others, and the impact will be less resolute! Moreover, some people with good relationships will run over to rescue the wounded, which gives us a good opportunity to surround and send reinforcements!

So I shouted, "Don't hit the point!" Try to hit the legs! ”

All the shooters listened to my shouts and had two different attitudes - the shooters led by the scorching immediately began to shoot at the enemy's thighs, calves and other non-lethal positions, while Shigehide Suzuki's men continued to aim as much as possible at the enemy's vital points.

However, after a burst of fire, the wounded on the hill increased, and the speed of the enemy's attack slowed down significantly. These shooters were not stupid, they knew that it was the wounded who were not fatally wounded and slowed down the enemy. Thinking of the imminent arrival of reinforcements from the Shibata Katsuya behind me, they understood my thoughts and gradually began to aim for non-lethal positions!

I sneered in my heart, the ignorant and arrogant group, the previous failures were not for nothing. Superstitious about technology, obsessed with perfection, and not listening to commands, such a person is a good shooter at best, but he will not become a conductor, and he is not even a good team member. At this point, the scorching performance is much better than theirs.

Of course, there is also a question of distance and proximity, and everyone has the right to choose their own approach, right? So I don't force them to obey me. As for whether they can be absolutely free in the future, it depends on understanding and chance.

In the previous life, Sun Yat-sen and a group of prophets, with a group of late realizers, overthrew the Qing Dynasty without the knowledge of the unconscious people in the world.

Slowly, the enemies on the hillside began to gather in small groups, and if you look closely, there are two reasons. On the one hand, they wanted to carry down the wounded but not dead friendly troops, but in order to save one person, more people were wounded and killed - after all, encirclement and reinforcement was a shooting tactic in later generations, and it was really a bit of a bully to use it here.

On the other hand, they want to enjoy more cover - there are usually at least one or two shield bearers at the gathering point, and the people behind them are lined up and rush towards the mountain under the cover of the shield!

The way is right, but unfortunately, we are not an attack point in the mountains, but an attack line!

Seeing the countermeasures made by the other party, I shouted: "Burn!" ”

Burnt immediately ran over with a musket. I pointed to the two corners of the hilltop with both hands and shouted to him: "Divide your men into two teams, occupy these two positions, and do not fight the enemy directly opposite, but at the opposite corner!" Do you understand? ”

As I spoke, I gestured with my two hands to shoot crosswise. His eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, ran out and shouted to divide the team.

This time, Shigehide Suzuki's people learned wisely, and when they saw that I asked Shiki to divide the team like this, they quickly divided the personnel into two according to the method, and occupied the high points on both sides of the mountain with Shizuki. In this way, our design line has changed from the original "one" self-shape to an "X" shape!

This simple change immediately made Yushiba Hideyoshi's team suffer - originally they thought that they had found a reasonable way to deal with it, and under the cover of the shield, they half-crouched and attacked the mountain, which seemed to be very effective. But at this time, as soon as the formation changed, a line of fire faced by the enemy immediately turned into a surface! I don't know where bullets are flying, so there is a wail on the mountain again!

Hashiba Hideyoshi hid behind the continuous iron shield at the foot of the mountain, showed his head slightly, looked at the scene on the mountain, and saw that although his side was several times the enemy, he could not attack it for a long time, and he was immediately very anxious.

What is the most precious thing in this battle? Time! The operation was suddenly attacked by enemy reinforcements, and in a hurry, I didn't know how many enemies there were, but I thought it was the arrival of the enemy's main force, so I took a defensive position. As a result, the enemy did not attack, but was very harmonious. When I looked at it this morning, in addition to the black flag of Sakuma Katsumasa, there was also a large flag with the word "Sun" written on it, and I knew that I had arrived.

But Hideyoshi also knew that I wouldn't have too many people, he sent people to watch from across the mountain, and the top of the mountain was only a few thousand people larger, and he gathered the team, and the number of troops under his command had exceeded 50,000! That's six or seven times more than ours!

"Sun Tzu's Art of War and Attacking Chapters" has a cloud: "Ten are to encircle it, five are to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided", which means that the principle of using troops is to surround the enemy if there are ten times the enemy's strength, attack the enemy if there are five times the enemy's strength, try to disperse the enemy if there is twice the enemy's strength, try to defeat the enemy if there is a force equal to the enemy, retreat if the strength is less than the enemy, and avoid a decisive battle if the enemy is inferior in strength.

Therefore, Hideyoshi's encirclement attack on us was completely reasonable, but because we had a favorable position and an advantage in firepower, his offensive was hindered.

But at this time, the one who can't wait the most is Hideyoshi! The main force of Shibata Katsuie's army is still eyeing the rear, and it turns out that neither side expected the decisive battle to come so early, so according to the Tanma report, at least two hours ago, Shibata's army was still standing still, but the latest battle report reflects that Shibata Katsuya has begun to pull out the village, and it is almost certain that he is thinking about this battlefield!

If you can take down this team on the mountain before he arrives-Hashiba Hideyoshi secretly said in his heart, it is tantamount to breaking Shibata Katsuie's arm! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!

Hashiba Hideyoshi's heart brightened, and he suddenly drilled out from behind the iron shield, pointed to the top of the mountain, and shouted, "Charge!" Charge! Iron cannon shooting! As he spoke, he ran forward!

When his soldiers saw Hideyoshi start to charge, they immediately rushed up to the top of the mountain like desperate! Hideyoshi shouted in the middle of the formation: "Rush! Come on! But unconsciously, he disappeared into the vast sea of people......

As a result, our stress increases! Almost as soon as an enemy is defeated, the people behind rush out of ten meters with the person in front of them, and when they are loaded with bullets, the enemy's front can often advance a lot!

If you follow this situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the enemy will be able to rush to this mountain! When it comes to white-knuckle combat, quantity becomes the key factor again! And when the enemy gets closer, and the muskets can reach us from the back, a continuous fire begins. The casualties of the shots on our side have also begun to appear and increase, and the dead are all musketeers, so it is not okay to go on like this!

I gave Sakuma a look, and he understood what I meant, and immediately shouted and sent a team of shieldmen to squat down in front of the musketeers, forming a shield wall. The musketeers began to shoot in the gaps in the shield wall!

They must not be allowed to come up! I thought to myself, but my hand shot more violently. In addition to the gunfire and the rain of arrows, I ordered all non-ranged units to lay down their weapons - except for the first row of shieldmen, the rest of us started throwing rocks down the hill together!

The stones were picked up from all over the place last night, and I checked them before dawn, and the big ones were about the size of a helmet, and the small ones were the size of a fist. The soldiers knew that the better prepared they were before the battle, the smaller the losses during the war, so they brought almost everything that could be moved on the mountain last night! For a while, the stones fell like rain, and there was a wail on the mountainside!

Last night, I also specially asked Sakuma Morimasa to send a team of ashigaru - of course, I also asked Lan Xiang to select 200 strong warriors, collect everyone's water bladders, and go to the mountainside overnight to fill the water to prevent the enemy from surrounding and causing the water to break off. When it comes to daybreak, it can be said that everything is ready for battle.

At this point, all these preparations came in handy, and the enemy had indeed occupied the water source, and if they had not prepared last night, they would have been afraid that the thirst alone would have made people scratch their heads.

There was a tug-of-war on the battlefield, Hideyoshi's line advanced a little, and was driven back a little, but in general, it was still slowly pressing towards the top of the mountain! This is the result of absolute numbers, and has nothing to do with tactics!

When I looked back between the shots, I couldn't see Shibata Katsuie's team anymore, and it seemed that they were already close and were obscured by the mountain.

Looking at Hideyoshi's team again, I knew that the decisive battle was coming!
