Mizutani Masamura stood up and said loudly: "I have a standing presence in the Tsukahara army, well-trained, well-founded advance and retreat, and it can almost reach the level of prohibition by order, and it is indeed a difficult army, but our army currently has an overwhelming advantage in strength, and the only thing to worry about is the iron cannon." Hearing Mizutani Masamura's words, the tension of the wealthy clans who were originally afraid eased slightly, and they nodded in unison. Seeing everyone's reaction, Mizutani Masamura's face remained unchanged, but he was already overjoyed in his heart, the biggest problem of the coalition army was that the command was chaotic, no one was convinced, as long as they could be in step with each other, even if it was only temporary, this battle would be too much to fight. "Although the iron artillery team is strong, it also has a flaw, that is, its rate of fire is slow, and it cannot be thrown like a bow, so we need to kill in front of the Tsukahara army in the shortest possible time and engage the previous army, so that the Tsukahara army cannot use the iron cannon, otherwise it will cause accidental injury."

"However, the iron artillery team of the Tsukahara Army is firing in formation, almost continuously, and it is difficult for us to attack it." Oda said in a deep voice.

"Yes, although Mo Longgong has passed away, his training of the Iron Artillery Team is indeed unique in the world, and this time the Tsukahara Army has occupied a favorable position in advance, and we cannot outflank us from the flank, so it is inevitable to pay a certain number of casualties." Mizutani Masamura paused, looked around at everyone, looked at everyone's reactions, and saw that although their faces were ashen, they basically agreed with their words, so he continued: "We can spread the reserves that used to be deployed horizontally along the vertical, and the same battlefield used to be only four or five reserves, but after changing to a column, we can put in seven reserves at the same time to attack. Although the total number of casualties did not decrease, the casualties shared equally by each reserve unit decreased significantly, and they did not directly rout before they could be engaged. ”

When everyone heard this, they changed the reserve from a horizontal team to a column, this method had indeed not been tried before, and it was very simple, if it was according to Mizutani Masamura's statement, it seemed to be acceptable, and suddenly looked at Mizutani Masamura's gaze became different. After a moment of discussion, the various wealthy clans, in the absence of a better choice, chose to take Mizutani Masamura's suggestion and launch another attack.

Sasaki Nagahide, who clearly saw the deployment of the coalition forces on Jiangmen Mountain, pondered for a moment and said: "Pass the order, the rear team will immediately replenish ammunition, and be ready to replace the front team at any time!" ”

"Hah!"

"Lord Changqing, Yoshio, be ready for a hand-to-hand battle!"

"Hah!"

After issuing the order, Sasaki Nagahide turned his head to look at the place where the Chinese army was commanded by the coalition army, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate the enemy......

Although no one is willing to stand in the forefront of the charge, but there is always someone to sacrifice, under the strong arrangement of the various wealthy families, a new round of offensive is still organized, this time the commander-in-chief is the Satake family's head Satake Yoshiken, and the Oda family's fierce general Sugatani Masada and Yuuki family's wise general Mizutani Masamura were also included in the attack queue, nearly 30,000 troops roared towards Shomen Mountain.

Sugatani Masada tightly grasped the reins of the war horse, constantly brandished the sword, and scolded his subordinates to attack, and soon, the iron cannon of the Tsukahara army sounded again, and the entire attack momentum was paused, but the casualties of each reserve were still within an acceptable range, and the samurai were all long-minded, shrunk to the rear to command, and forced the peasants to step forward to block the bullets, although the peasants were greatly dissatisfied, but in such a battlefield, who cares about their attitude?

The land of Hitachi and Shimono is also a place where wars are frequent, and the desperate peasants and soldiers are still aroused and launch a rather brave charge.

Seventy steps, iron cannon bombardment!

Fifty steps, iron cannon bombardment!

Forty steps, iron cannon bombardment!

Thirty steps, iron cannon bombardment!

Twenty steps, iron cannon bombardment!

Just when the peasants were almost completely crumbling and were about to cut down along with the samurai who were overseeing the battle, Mizutani Masamura and Sugatani Masada, almost at the same time, shouted, "It's now! Then the elite samurai of their respective families launched a charge, and although Satake Yoshiken was far away, he also gave the order for all the samurai to launch a general attack.

Ten steps! Iron cannon bombardment!

Although the last round of iron cannons of the Tsukahara Army was amazingly powerful, and a large number of elite samurai were brought down at once, no one was distressed at the moment, and everyone had only one thought, that is, to strangle with the Tsukahara Army before the next round of iron cannons of the Tsukahara Army sounded! That's the only way to survive!

"Kill !!" The Tsukahara soldiers who were guarding the front immediately burst out after the end of the six-round iron cannon, and they were not afraid of the opponent's overwhelming superiority in strength, and resolutely launched a fierce attack on the other side. The iron artillery team also retreated, and was replaced by a melee standing guard in heavy armor, and for a while, the two sides were strangled together.

Seeing that the situation was developing as expected by Mizutani Masamura, the wealthy clans breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised their fists fiercely: We won this battle! No matter how elite the Tsukahara army is, don't even think about defeating the coalition army in a short-handed way when the troops are insufficient!

Tsukahara Nagakei and Inukai Yoshio, who commanded the battle on the front line, were under great pressure, although Tsukahara Molong formed a standing army and promoted a large number of samurai in the line of fire, but in the face of the decisive charge of the entire samurai lineup, the Tsukahara army was still a little powerless. Fortunately, Tsukahara Molong himself is a kendo master, and he is also the current master of Katori Shinto, so he made up for his swordsmanship for a period of time, so that the standing army that was formed for a short time was defeated without being the first to face him.

However, the contest between the samurai and the standing army was far more tragic than the peasant battle, and both sides were holding back their strength, so it entered the white-hot stage as soon as it came up, and many wealthy families were killed directly in the hand-to-hand battle The family name was cut off, and the standing army of the Tsukahara family also had several casualties of more than half and lost their combat effectiveness, and two generals were even killed on the spot, so the troops had to retreat and repair.

Nagakei Tsukahara, Yoshio Inukai, Masamura Mizutani, Masada Sugatani, Yoshiken Satake...... These famous generals of the time tried their best, and finally directly sent their own flanks to the battlefield, like a fierce general like Sugatani Masadada, he directly threw off his head pocket, and rushed to the front line with his sword. Despite the heavy casualties, both sides knew they were one step away from victory. For Satake Yoshiken and others, as long as they can defeat the standing army of the Tsukahara family, then the iron artillery team will not be afraid to lose the firing range, and this battle can be said to have already had a result. And the same is true of Tsukahara Nagakei and others, this time the coalition army dispatched elite samurai, but it is said that the dead and wounded are more or less really cut the flesh on the wealthy clans, so the wealthy clans will never tolerate too amazing casualties, as long as a force retreats, then there will be a domino effect, this offensive will collapse in an instant, and even the samurai have been defeated, and the peasants will naturally not set off any more storms, it can be said that it will be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the coalition army.
