Silence, the entire battlefield was silent, except for the screams of the wounded who were still struggling between life and death, there seemed to be no other sound in the entire heaven and earth. The 38,000-strong Kwantung Coalition Army had never been so quiet as it was at this moment, and everyone was stunned to see the tragic situation on the front line and was speechless for a long time. At this time, many people with good intentions were shocked to find that from beginning to end, except for the voices of generals at all levels, no one in the Tsukahara Army exchanged heads and ears, and this quiet and quiet was terrifying.

Sugata Katsusada knew that the army's morale was in turmoil, and the battle could no longer be fought, so he had to order the troops to retreat. The casualties counted afterwards were acceptable in the eyes of laymen, 7,000 troops, more than 300 people were killed in battle, but these people who had been fighting horses for half their lives knew that among the more than 300 people, nearly 200 were samurai, and there were only more than 100 peasants. The samurai were the cornerstone of society and the cornerstone of the army during the Warring States period in Japan, and the daimyo relied on the samurai to maintain the rule and dispatch the army, and in such a short period of time, they lost 200 samurai at once! Some of them were brave and good at fighting, and they rushed to the front line, but they were bombarded by iron artillery, and some of them were strategic, commanding the peasants to fight, but they were beheaded by the swordsmen of the Tsukahara army in the chaotic battle, but in any case, such losses were unbearable. Those wealthy families who suffered heavy casualties even had the intention of returning home on the spot, but fortunately, the powerful fame and fortune of the Oda family, the Satake family and other powerful fame and fortune were lured and threatened, and soft and hard means were used together, so that the army's morale was not festering. However, the huge iron artillery team of the Tsukahara Army is a great headache for everyone, and if it rains heavily, the gunpowder can still be damp, but in order to prevent a sneak attack, the coalition forces specially chose to start a decisive battle on a sunny day, which made everyone have a stomachache.

However, the coalition forces must break Sasaki Nagahide as soon as possible, on the one hand, the longer the battle drags on, the faster the morale of this loose coalition army declines, and the more scattered the people's hearts become, on the other hand, everyone has seen the amazing combat effectiveness of the standing standing reserve left by Tsukahara Molong, if Sasaki Nagahide leads the troops to attack from the shomen mountain regardless of it, I am afraid that things will be beyond my control.

After discussing for a long time, everyone did not discuss the reason, there are many people, even if there are good suggestions, they are often overwhelmed by the noisy meeting environment, not to mention, no one who participates in the discussion is not convinced by anyone, only because of interests are united, one person speaks, several people dismantle the stage, how can it be effective? Fortunately, although the governors of each family are dissatisfied with each other, they are not stupid, and they know that things can't be delayed for too long, so they have to decide to mobilize the main force to press up directly, in the final analysis, the iron cannon can only solve the people in the front row, and there is no ability to fire continuously, so the people in the back can rush up, in order to prevent each other from passing the buck at that time, but it was taken advantage of by Sasaki Nagahide, and the governors jointly discussed and decided to give a reward of 10,000 stone territory for a gun. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. This time, more than 20,000 coalition troops lined up in battle formation, surging towards Jiangmen Mountain like waves one after another.

Seeing such a huge offensive launched by the Kwantung Coalition Army, even the trained Tsukahara Army Standing Reserve was a little frightened, but Sasaki Nagahide let out a smug laugh, "Pass the order!" The Iron Artillery Corps is full of firepower, treat these guests well! ”

As if the incident had been repeated, the Tsukahara soldiers in the front row once again held the hilt of their swords in their right hands and knelt on one knee, leaving room for the iron artillery team behind them to shoot. As the coalition forces swarmed in, even their hands holding knives oozed sweat. This time, the Iron Artillery did not wait for a distance of fifty paces, but chose to open fire at seventy paces. Due to technical limitations, it is also difficult to inflict fatal damage if you hit the opponent at this distance. Seeing that the iron artillery team had already fired, the various governors commanding in the rear suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: If we lose the iron cannon, we will pile you to death even if we use people, and we will win this battle! And after seeing that the Tsukahara army had already fired iron cannons, those apprehensive coalition soldiers were also overjoyed, and they all shouted and launched an attack on the Tsukahara army.

However, just when the Kwantung Coalition Army was excited, the iron cannon Ashigaru, who had already fired, ran backwards from the gap in the horizontal row, and behind them, there was still the iron artillery team of Senran!

Fifty steps, iron cannon salvo!

This time the iron cannon shot almost did not need to be aim, mistakenly thinking that the Tsukahara army's iron cannon was no longer usable The Kwantung coalition army swarmed up, and the formation was extremely dense, and the iron cannon closed his eyes lightly, and he could guarantee to hit the Kwantung coalition officers and men by firing directly. Many of those who were hit by the iron cannon did not even have a chance to fall back, because of the slowdown, they were pushed by the people behind and trampled to death. However, the sudden bombardment of iron artillery slowed down the attack of the coalition forces, and some people even tripped over the corpses of their own robes, and then struggled to push others away, further slowing down the speed.

This time, the iron cannon Ashigaru still didn't stop and ran backwards.

When the coalition forces approached a distance of forty paces, the terrible sound of iron cannons rang out again, and the third platoon was still an iron artillery team! The senior samurai of the coalition forces in charge of the command almost all showed expressions of disbelief, and when the first round of iron cannon fire, the number of iron cannons used by the Tsukahara army was already very amazing, but now there were three rounds of fire!

Without waiting for them to react, at thirty paces, the fourth round of iron cannons came like a nightmare, Rao has the temptation of a reward of ten thousand stones, but he also has to have a life to enjoy it! The high morale of the coalition army suddenly plummeted, and the momentum of the army in front of the charge went without saying, under the four-round iron cannon bombardment, all those who rushed a little ahead were almost killed, and the rest had long been frightened, and the bottom of the heart that rushed forward in the rear was also horrified, and four rounds of iron cannons had been blasted out, who knows if there was a fifth round! The pace slowed down unconsciously.

Twenty paces later, just when the allied soldiers could clearly see the beards of the samurai of the Tsukahara Army kneeling on one knee, the fifth platoon of iron artillery stepped forward and brought the sound of gunfire that completely broke them. The army of 20,000 actually cried and fled frantically to the rear like children, and even directly pulled out their knives and cut down the people in front of their escape route, just to be able to run back a few more steps.

Seeing that the battle situation was like this, Tsukahara Nagakei and Inukai Yoshio ordered their troops to attack, and suddenly, nearly 4,000 Tsukahara troops were like angry dragons going out to sea, and they attacked the coalition army frantically.

Seeing that the 38,000 army that he and others had painstakingly gathered was put down like chopping melons and vegetables, Oda Shiji and the others were so frightened that they had to send their elite soldiers to collect the defeated army, after all, the only advantage they had at the moment was in the strength of the army, and if they all escaped, they and the others might not even have a chance to escape.

Fortunately, the Tsukahara army did not chase it far, and after running about one hundred and fifty paces, they returned to Shomonyama to line up, which gave Oda Shiji and others a chance to breathe. It took a long time to barely retract the army, and the originally high-spirited family governors of the various families were now defeated, and they no longer had the strength to guide the country at the beginning, and they didn't even bother to care about the casualty statistics. Several important ministers of the Utsunomiya family even put forward the idea of temporarily withdrawing the army, while the Satake family advocated dividing the troops and attacking the general country by separate routes, so that Sasaki Nagahide could not care about each other. But whether it's a temporary retreat or a split strategy, there is no way to bypass the hurdle of fighting with Sasaki Nagahide, and the split strategy is even more dangerous. If someone is ruthless and catches a family and beats them violently, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Just when everyone was in mourning, a voice suddenly sounded: "I have a way to break the iron cannon of the Tsukasa Yuan Army!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, if it was at the beginning, they might have to make sarcastic remarks, but now they are listening attentively, and following the reputation, it turns out to be Mizutani Masaki Village of the Yuki family. The Mizutani family is the genealogy family of the Yuki family, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they served the Yuki family, and the young Mizutani Masa Village is precisely the new governor of the Mizutani family, at the age of sixteen, he killed the important minister of the Dakushi family, Wu Cheng Shigeyuan, and the general Tatani Youbei, and forced the governor of the Dakushi family, Daikushi Wucheng to commit suicide, and later married the princess of the Yuki family at the age of 21, and became one of the four kings of the Yuki family. At this time, at the age of twenty-seven, he and the Oda family's Sugata Masada can be described as a moment of brightness, although he was also shocked by the terrible number of iron cannons of the Tsukahara army, but this is not a reason for him to give up, since the age of fourteen, he has been in a hundred battles, never defeated, today naturally refused to admit defeat, vowing to fight with the same young Sasaki Nagahide.
