As it turns out, while a stronghold can inflict great damage on attackers, there is a limit to how much it can do. Under the onslaught of the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition army, Nagashima Castle gradually became a little unbearable. Similarly, it is impossible for both sides to maintain such a large number of troops for too long, and the logistical pressure is too terrifying. So on the 23rd day of the Battle of Long Island, the two sides finally started a decisive battle. Originally, according to the plan of Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu, their own army built field fortifications around Nagashima Castle while besieging Nagashima Castle, just like Sasaki Nagahide did in Shomonyama, although the workload on the plains was larger, but they were not in a hurry, so that they could hide behind the fortifications and watch the big coalition army hit their heads and bleed. However, with the Rokkaku family in power, the Iga ninja wreaked havoc everywhere in Owari Mino, and the Oda family's army was alone and could not be effectively suppressed, and the first to fall into the food crisis was actually the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition army, which forced them to attack first.

However, the Great Coalition Army was not chatting and walking during this time, they were also working hard to build field fortifications, and the object of imitation was also Sasaki Nagahide's design in Jiangmen Mountain, which made Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu very depressed. Fortunately, they were still relatively confident in the combat effectiveness under their command, and after leaving 12,000 people to watch the remnants of the troops in Long Island City, the main army pressed towards the Great Alliance like a tsunami.

It's just that Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu didn't expect that the Great Coalition Army at this time was no longer the Great Coalition Army of a month ago, and the originally scattered Great Coalition Army had already parachuted in a commander: Ashikaga Molong.

The Ashikaga Molong who slipped over quietly only brought a guard of five hundred people, which was very inconspicuous in the Great Coalition Army, but the identity and prestige of Ashikaga Ink Dragon was there, which no one could challenge, and after he spent a little effort to successfully integrate the Great Coalition Army, he sat back and waited to drain the blood of the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai Coalition Army.

What made Ashikaga Molong's eyelids jump was that Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu actually found a way to deal with the iron cannon, which was the way for our Daqing Daming musketeers: heavy shield car. Many people mention the Eight Banners Iron Ride at every turn in the Qing Dynasty, in fact, this impression is that Kang Mazi only slowly spread when he was fighting Ge Erdan, and the Manchu Dynasty, which did not have a dominant population, gradually did not have the original fierceness after entering the customs, and also began to favor muskets, but there are obviously many Han people who play with muskets, and Kang Mazi, who realized that the Eight Banners was no longer reliable, immediately exiled Dai Zi who studied the flowering bomb and bombarded the camel city for him, and the rumors that our Daqing Bow and Horse took the world spread like this, and in the end, even the Eight Banners themselves believed, It can be regarded as the highest level of deception. During the reign of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, including Dolgon, the Manchu cavalry mainly relied on the Korqin Department and other steppe tribes to provide, but the Mongolian iron cavalry was put down and mopped by the Ming army, although the Manchu cavalry was fierce, but it was still worse than the Mongolian iron cavalry. In order to deal with the Ming army's ultra-high amount of firearms, our Qing Dynasty played in the field battle with the heavy shield car on the top of the musket cannon to shrink the distance, and then the heavy infantry broke through, and the rear archers shot in five steps until the Ming army was defeated, and finally sent cavalry to harvest the rout. This tactic can be said to be very useful against the Ming army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which has been reduced to serf soldiers. After the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty forced a large number of generals to flee, we learned the casting technology of cannons in the Qing Dynasty and immediately popularized the use of cannons. Are we really stupid?

However, although Takeda Harunobu and Oda Nobunaga played the heavy shield car, whether it was the Eight Banners Heavy Infantry or the excellent archers of the five-step diffraction, they were not able to make it up, after all, the face-shooting was mutual, and you stood under someone's nose with a bow and arrow, which also means that others also stood under your nose, and ordinary people really couldn't play this, and when we started in the Qing Dynasty, there was this bravery. As for the heavy infantry, don't even think about it, just the physical fitness of the Japanese people in these years, a set of foot armor, and they were tired and lay down before they reached the enemy.

But Ashikaga Molong can't do this, watching the other party shrink the attack distance little by little, and immediately ordered the iron cannon to shoot, although whether this shot can hit is a metaphysical problem, but there are enough people on the opposite side, and the formation is thick enough, as long as it crosses the heavy shield car, it can always hit people, so it is enough. The front is waiting for the battle, and the rear is seizing the time to dig trenches, which is not a difficult thing for the big coalition army, anyway, during this time, five lines of defense have been repaired, and they are playing slowly, and it is not their own soldiers who die.

The Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition army did not encounter any obstacles on the way forward due to the defensive power of the heavy shield car, and it was close to the first fence before forcing the heavy shield car to stop, and the iron cannon of the large coalition army on the opposite side couldn't wait to give them a face, anyway, it was only five or six steps away, and it was okay to squint and fight. Oda Takeda Asakura Asai Coalition soldiers who were hiding behind the heavy shield car tied their white turbans one after another, after all, they were really there to consume the other party's bullets, and in the case of so many iron cannons on the opposite side, it was estimated that they would have to be beaten into a sieve before they even had a chance to shout their names when they showed their heads. But there was no way, it was still necessary to go up, and soon a samurai rushed out of the gap of the heavy shield cart, and then was beaten into a pile of minced meat by the rainstorm of bullets, and the soldiers behind continued to rush up, although they also died quickly, but the ones behind were basically close to the fence. At this time, the iron artillery team of the Great Coalition Army immediately retreated according to the order of Ashikaga Molong, and the pikemen in the rear stepped forward and nailed the samurai masters holding katanas cutting the fence to the heavy shield car behind them through the fence. However, this tactic could not last long when the opposing side was strong, and soon the corpses of the vanguard death squad blocked the fence, and as a result, the small space between the fence and the shield cart was full of corpses, and the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition soldiers behind directly stepped on the corpses of their comrades and crossed the fence to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the large coalition army.

It's a pity that in this kind of battle situation, the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition army is not able to line up, but the large coalition army on the opposite side has enough rear, calmly listed the spear phalanx, don't think that the ancient Greeks would play the spear phalanx, in fact, until the industrial civilization, almost all civilizations used a lot of spear phalanx, without him, this thing is too easy to use! Under the phalanx of hedgehog-like spears, the soldiers of the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition army, who had just crossed the fence, were nailed to the fence behind them with spears, merging with their comrades. Under the bloody battle of the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition soldiers, the spear phalanx of the large coalition army also retreated, and finally retreated to the second line of defense very calmly.

Although there were no casualty statistics, the heavy casualties of the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition soldiers could still be seen by Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Harunobu, and they gave the order to continue the attack with a blue face. They are all people who have fought all their lives, so what's wrong with a little casualty? These casualties are only a drop in the bucket compared to the more than 70,000 troops, and they are completely bearable. Moreover, the large coalition forces have already dug trenches in front of the fence of the second line of defense, and the heavy shield vehicles will not be able to pass, if they can't rush through in one go, then they will have to suffer a wave of iron artillery when they attack again.

At the urging of his superiors, the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition soldiers still bravely launched an attack on the second line of defense, and this time the two sides fought back and forth, after all, the open space between the first line of defense and the second line of defense was enough for the Oda Takeda Asakura Asai coalition soldiers to list the spear phalanx.

Seeing that the two sides were fighting against each other across the fence, Ashikaga Molong smiled with satisfaction and said to the masters: "Hard work." ”

"It is incumbent upon us to protect the Dharma." The masters nodded, and began the movement of the monks and soldiers as Ashikaga Molong had planned in advance.
