Outside the Ashina family's main camp, Kakizaki Keike and Kojima Yataro had already rushed to the door, and the Ashina Mori clan had already noticed the daily routine of the Nagao family's horseback team.

"The horseback team of the Nagao family, let the swamp Izumo start the action!" In the Ashina family's main formation, in the face of the cavalry of the Long Tail family galloping towards the main formation, the Ashina Mori clan not only did not show the slightest panic, but also had some expectations.

The Ashina Sheng clan actually has something to rely on, otherwise he wouldn't dare to face the strength of the Nagao family.

Marsh Izumo Mamoru is a ronin recruited by the Ashina Mori clan two years ago, and chose to go out of the Ashina family because he had received the favor of the Ashina Mori clan. Swamp Izumo is a Kyushu Satsuma samurai origin.,Perennial mixed all over Kyushu.,Martial arts are scarce.、Military strategy is even more ignorant.,If you really want to say that there is any skill.,It's estimated that it can make an iron cannon in one hand.。

In fact, Izumo of the swamp originally planned to go to the Tsugawa family, because the current RB If there is anyone with the most NB musket, it is none other than the Tsugawa family, which naturally attracts many "people of insight" like Izumo Mamoru of the swamp to come to defect.

However, when passing through Kurokawa Castle, Marsh Izumo Mamoru suddenly contracted a wind chill, perhaps because he was not very adapted to the climate of the Ou region, and he couldn't afford to get sick anyway. And the Ashina Mori clan met the swamp Izumo Mamoru during a visit to the castle town, so he had a whim to cure the swamp Izumo Mamoru.

In order to thank the Ashina Mori clan, Marsh Izumo Mamoru offered to go out to the Ashina family, and offered a generous gift - the forging technology of the iron cannon. This is the result of Marsh Izumo living in Tanegashima in Kyushu for several years, and although the technology is rough and the craftsmanship is not perfect, it is a treasure for the Ashina Mori clan.

Because the Tsugawa family implemented a "musket blockade policy" against both the Date family and the Ashina family, not even a single musket would enter the Ashina family's territory. Even if the Ashina Mori clan paid a high price to buy it from other forces, no one was willing to sell it, and at that time the musket was still a rarity, and no one would be willing to sell their precious musket to the Ashina Mori clan, plus this might offend the Tsugawa family.

After obtaining the drawings and techniques, Ashina Mori immediately ordered his craftsmen to make secret imitations. After more than a year of exploration, the Ashina family really mastered the ability to produce muskets.

Although the produced muskets had various defects, they were generally usable.

Because of this work, Mamoru Izumo was entrusted with an important task by the Ashina Mori clan as the commander of the newly established musket team of the Ashina family, and began secret training. Now there are more than 100 people in the musket team, and it is easy for the soldiers who are directly subordinate to the Ashina Mori clan to be on the road.

Previously, in Yonezawa City, the Ashina Mori clan originally planned to let their musket team come out and show their faces, but they were directly suspected of life by a group of pig teammates.

Outside the main camp, after receiving the order of the Ashina Mori clan, Izumo Mori, who is almost forty years old this year, walked at the front of the line with a musket from Tanegashima in his eager eyes.

"Line up!"

Hundreds of musketeers suddenly lined up in a horizontal column and began to reload their ammunition, only to wait for the swamp Izumo to give the order before pulling the trigger. Holding the musket given by his friend Tanegashima Tokiyao when he left Tanegashima, Izumo Numa stood at the front of the line without blinking, keeping his eyes on the long-tailed cavalry that was gradually enlarging in the distance.

"200 steps!"

"150 steps!"

The sentinels kept reporting the distance of the enemy troops, and the palms of a group of musketeers who had not really experienced the baptism of war began to sweat.

"100 steps! Get ready to shoot! ”

In the same way that the Tsugawa family called it, the entire RB is now called the iron cannon by muskets in the entire RB except for the Kyushu region. The musket of the Ashina family has a short range, mainly because it is not powerful and does not use lead pellets, so it has to wait until the distance reaches 50 paces to have lethality.

Calmly lit the arquebus, Marsh Izumo Mamoru held an iron cannon as an aim, and when the sentry next to him reported "50 steps", he took the lead in shooting and then gave the group of cavalry of the Nagao family a little color.

However, just as Mamoru Izumo raised his musket, there was a sudden "crackling" sound. Marsh Izumo Mamoru's face immediately changed, and he turned his head and said angrily, "Who let you open ........!" ”

“？？？”

The swamp Izumo is blind, what the hell are these seven or eight fallen muskets on his side? What's going on with the gunshots just now? Who the hell is shooting?

Suddenly, a bad thought flashed into the mind of Marmoru Izumo Swamp, and with an unbelievable look, Mamoru Izumo turned his head and set his eyes in the direction of Nagao's house. This look directly made the swamp Izumo Mamoru eyes pop out!

I saw that the cavalry of the Nagao family had stopped when they rushed to a distance of 100 steps from the Ashina family, and the nameless cavalry seemed to have something in their hands. And the smoke above the heads of the cavalry, which had not yet dissipated, told the swamp Izumo Mamoru that this was a musket that had just been fired!

"How can a horse team be equipped with muskets? How? "Marmoru Izumo's first instinct was not to believe it, because it is not easy to control when people are on horses. However, thinking that the cavalry of the Nagao family fired their guns after they had stopped their horses, Mamoru Izumo was relieved again.

But!

Another question came to the mind of Marmoru Izumo in the swamp, that is, the range of the Nagao family's musket was so far from Nima?

The effective range of Ashina's musket is 50 steps, and Tanegashima's musket is 80-100 steps, but the accuracy is very average and the power is very small. And the cavalry of the Nagao family was a hundred steps away from the Ashina family, and they hit more than ten people on their own side in one round of shooting, which was simply unheard of!

This is the difference between a biological son and a godson.

The musket of the Nagao family is an original imported Portuguese arquebus bought directly from the Tsugawa family, and the musket of the Ashina family is a half-irrigated water stolen from the Tanegashima family, who changed hands twice, and it is completely incomparable!

And before the swamp Izumo Mamoru could react, he had already seen the cavalry of the Nagao family raise their muskets again, I'll wipe it!

"Lie down!"

Marsh Izumo Shou yelled, and regardless of whether the ashigaru beside him heard it clearly, he just lay on the ground. And just before he could catch his breath, the dense gunfire rang out again, and a wail immediately sounded in his ears.

"Stand back!"

"On top of the wooden canopy!"

"Don't show your head, everyone!"

Marsh Izumo quickly got up from the ground while the Nagao cavalry began to reload, then hid on a piece of wood behind him, and then began to command the recruits who had begun to mess up.

Before the third round of shooting of the Nagao family began, the helpless Ashina family Ashigaru also found cover one after another and began to dog!

As for the Nagao family, Kakizaki Keijia couldn't put it down and hung the musket in his hand on his horse, pointing at the Ashina family in front of him and said loudly, "Although there are muskets on the other side, it is obvious that the enemy is a defective product, at least in terms of range, we have the advantage!" ”

"Warriors of the Black Banners, let's rush up and defeat the enemy!"
