In the west of the three rivers, on the shore of the Koishikawa, two hills, one high and one low, Oda and Takeda are separated from each other, and the flat river beach with a radius of hundreds of steps in the middle is where the battlefield is.

The young samurai who called himself "Tsuchiya Masatsune", with a disheveled hair, holding a big gun, with twenty or thirty samurai, more than a hundred people, all wearing green shirts and armor, looked at it like a pack of wolves, killing corpses and bones in the shadow of swords and swords, and blood flowed like a river.

The little offensive led by Lin Tongzheng, the righteous son of Lin Zuodu, disappeared in an instant, and even Lin Tongzheng himself was beheaded. And the other troops of Owari can't even beat the soldiers and horses of the Mikawa Okuhei family, so it is naturally even more difficult to deal with this Kai pawn.

Through the Qianli tube, it can be seen that Sasa Narumasa and Maeda Toshiya once again rushed up with their relatives and close ministers, and many of them did not wipe off the blood on their bodies.

One or two thousand steps away, Hirate Hinohide still vaguely saw many familiar people, Niwa Heizaemon of the Sasa family, Kobei Maeno of the Maeda family, Maedai Matabei of the Maeda family, and Takada Sunjuro...... More than ten years ago, when everyone served under the command of the Demon King, these young men were all old friends who served all day long before and after the saddle.

To say that they have always been the best of the elite troops directly under the Oda family, why are they so unreliable today? Judging from this appearance, the defeat of Cheongju in the First World War was probably not due to bad luck.

Hirate Honhide is not very concerned about the internal personnel changes of the Oda family in the past year or two, let alone has no understanding of it, and is very puzzled by this, and there is no other way than to worry at the moment.

By the way, he was also very curious about the enemy general Tsuchiya Masatsune, and asked left and right: "Which of you has heard of this Kai general?" What exactly is the origin? Does it have anything to do with Takeda family general Tsuchiya Shoji? ”。

This time, Hitetsu Honhide rode a fast horse to Oda to stabilize the situation, and he didn't bring important ministers and strategists, but only personal guards around him, so most of them were at a loss, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo pointed out that the lines on the other party's flag seemed to be the same as Tsuchiya Shoji, but I don't know more about the specifics.

Only Suzuki Hidemoto, who had just become one of the captains of the guards, thought about it for a while, reached out and took out a few crumpled notes from the placket of his clothes, looked for them, and stepped forward to answer: "Tsuchiya Masaji, a heavy minister of the Takeda clan, was a close minister at a young age, and served as the acting official of the Minami Shinano, Nishi-Ueno, and Higashi-Suruga countries. His person was originally after the Kai spectrum generation of the Kanimaru clan, with a total of seven brothers, the second son Changji, the fourth son Changheng, the heir to Tsuchiya, the third son Changquan, the last son Qinjiu, and the heir Akiyama. ”

"I see, it's really Tsuchiya Shoji's younger brother. Their father is very capable, and he has seven sons, four of whom have become heirs to two important ministers, and three of them have inherited the family business. Pingshou Fan Xiu understood this, and then wondered: "What are you writing on this paper?" How can you still take it with you when you fight? ”

"Let the lord see the smile......" Suzuki Hidemoto smiled embarrassedly and touched his head, "The subordinate is not very literate and has a poor memory, and when he heard that he was going to fight Takeda, he asked his colleagues before setting off to copy a roster of Konobu Shigeto, so as not to be unable to remember his name and delay a major event." ”

"Not bad." Tieshou Fanxiu casually praised, "The so-called diligence can make up for clumsiness, I didn't know much in the past, and it didn't matter, but if I study hard in the future, I will have the same chance to become a good general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Suzuki Hidemoto knelt down and bowed excitedly, then hesitated for a while, and took advantage of the situation to ask a question: "Lord, Lord Fang Caier Caizang picked up a gun alone and went to the front line...... Although he is invincible in martial arts, he is outnumbered after all, we ...... Can you help him a little? ”

Tieshou Fanxiu subconsciously frowned and shook his head not very satisfied, considering that there was an old minister in front of him, he patiently explained: "The terrain here, my hundreds of light horsemen are unable to perform, if the horse is gone, it may not be useful to fill in the gap." As for Kerr's hiding...... This guy, let him take risks alone with his temperament, which is the best respect for him. ”

“…… Belch...... The subordinates felt that they could at least use the iron cannon from a distance......"

Hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu was even more unimpressed, and didn't bother to answer.

is also the captain of the personal guard detachment, but as a "relation", Ichikawa Tsunobu, who is more than ten years younger, retorted: "If the iron cannon wants to fight too outrageously, it needs to be eighty steps or even closer to the enemy, and the kung fu people who breathe will rush to the front!" It's better to use a heavy rattan bow, at least within a hundred and twenty paces, there is still a little accuracy. ”

"But...... We have ...... That ......" Suzuki Hidemoto suddenly blushed his neck and hurriedly retorted, but he was speechless for a while.

It seems that these two colleagues, who are from different backgrounds and have equal ranks, usually do not get along very well.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked expectant: "Suzuki Hall is right, I saw that some of your subordinates seem to be carrying a special iron cannon of 'Harutaya', I heard that it is much more accurate than ordinary goods, but I haven't seen it and I don't know how accurate it is......"

"This is it!" Suzuki Hidemoto finally straightened out his breath and said excitedly: "This special iron cannon of 'Springfield', if you hand it over to a veteran, you may be able to hit it three or four hundred steps away!" Our detachment is equipped with twelve special iron cannons, and other detachments should have ......"

Tie Fan Xiu suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was the hand-rifling technique brought by the Portuguese of 'Springfield'!

The barrel treated in this way will be slightly less powerful, the reload speed will be several times longer, but the accuracy will be greatly improved. On the same day, in the "Imperial Trial", Tian Fu Jingcheng, an iron cannon expert of the Tieshou family, won the championship with this.

After years of experiments, the technology of manual rifling is becoming more and more mature, and the overall effect is getting better and better. But there are still two insurmountable problems -

One is that the operation is too difficult, in the whole workshop, only a few masters can do it, and it takes at least ten and a half days to process an iron cannon, the labor cost is really not low, and there is no prospect for large-scale production.

The second is that the loss rate is too high, even if those masters are out of the horse, a little carelessness may also be broken, resulting in the accuracy of the rise is not enough or even not up but down, or the power of the decline is too big to outweigh the loss, the yield rate has not exceeded three percent in recent years.

Therefore, the real good product is sold in the official market of Hequan for more than 200 yuan, and the black market price is more than 300 yuan, the expensive price, coupled with the extremely slow reloading speed, it is impossible to popularize it in the army, and there is a little room to play in the special environment. Generally, enthusiasts who are keen on studying iron cannons will buy it back to play with it, or use it for ulterior purposes......

For example, Sugitani Zenjubo and Igasaki Michishun assassinated Nobunaga, and they used more than a dozen of the best goods flowing from the black market. Otherwise, it would not have achieved so much results.

The flat hand fan Xiu continued to purchase rifled iron cannons, not for use, but for fear that this craft would be lost.

It was only the guards who were assigned this special commodity, and a detachment of one hundred to two hundred men would generally have forty to sixty normal iron artillerymen, and ten to fifteen men with rifled iron cannons.

So this plan ......

"Yes!" Hiteshu nodded quickly and ordered, "Suzuki Hidemoto listens!" Gather all the special iron cannons now, climb the hill on the right, and snipe the enemy warrior Tsuchiya Masatsune 300 paces away! Pay attention to self-protection first, even if you don't succeed, don't expose it rashly! ”

"Yes!" Suzuki Hidemoto accepted the order.

After speaking, he found three colleagues, Mori Ryotsu, Natsume Yoshiki, and Ichikawa Tsunobu, and asked for cooperation.

Mori Ryotsu Mari agreed, enthusiastically took the initiative to cooperate, Natsume Yoshiki and Ichikawa Tsuyoshi were a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to slack off in front of the lord.

In a few moments, he gathered together thirty-seven "special iron cannons" and immediately set off for action.

At this time, take a look at the Chisato cylinder again, the two teams of Sasa and Maeda seem to have collapsed, Oda Nobutada's main formation has been topped, and the leader of the team is like Maori Nagahide.

As for Ke'er Caizang, who ran to the front line alone, he couldn't find where he went in the chaos army.
