Chapter 414: Car Suspension VS Car Hanging
Echizen Province belongs to Hokuriku Province and is also known as Echishu. The stone is about 500,000 stone high, and it was originally part of the ancient Yue Kingdom, and at the end of the 7th century, it was divided into the three kingdoms of Echizen, Echichu, and Echigo. Later, it was divided into Noto Province and Kaga Province.
The eastern part of Echizen Province is mountainous, and the western part is a vast plain, especially the Fukui Plain where the Kushiuryugawa, Hino River, and Ashiba River converge to inject into the Hichihonkai, and the plain at the junction of the three rivers is the Fukui Plain.
The area is vast and easy to irrigate, so agriculture is very developed, so since ancient times, the temple and public estate centered on Todai-ji Temple have been located here. At the same time, it is close to Tsuruga Bay, with many good ports along the coast and developed shipping. In particular, the horned deer was an important base for negotiations with the Bohai State in ancient times, and it was also one of the material distribution centers and economic centers of the Northern Continent.
As a result, the topography of Echizen Province is conducive to territorial defense, and it has a good port with direct access to Kyoto. However, the mountain road is narrow, and it is affected by snowfall in winter, which can easily block traffic.
Knock knock! The drums of war were ringing in unison, and on the vast Fukui Plain, two armies were facing each other, one side was the Uesugi army named after King Kamiraken, and the other side was the Hosokawa army that was defending against the enemy.
"Forward!" Sanada Masayuki was the first formation, stepping on neat steps and facing the Uesugi army.
"Attack!" The first formation of the Uesugi army was still the fierce general Kakizaki Keijia.
Crackling, the two armies clashed, spears flapping at each other, occasionally slamming one person down with a single blow.
"Turn!" Kakizaki Keijia commanded loudly, and the reserve team gradually began to turn right, and the car started in a suspended formation.
"Listen to me! Turn! Sanada Masayuki also gave a similar order, and the reserve began to move slowly to the right.
"Forward!" Takanashi Masayori took over the position of the first formation at the right time and began to slap the Hosokawa army on the opposite side, but... The big flag on the opposite side seems to have changed as well...
"Attack!" Akai Naomasa shouted excitedly, this is Nagahama Bei's first appearance, although the technique is a little rusty, but it is still a little stronger than the peasant soldiers on the opposite side. The difference is that you haven't seen blood yet, but as long as you open the blade and see blood, you can quickly temper it into a strong army.
"Drink!" One Uesugi saw the right moment and stabbed down a man on the opposite side, killing the enemy with one shot.
"Steady! Don't panic! Stay on the line! The sudden death of his companion made the group of recruits a little timid, but under the command of the samurai and the management of the military order, they quickly adjusted their state.
"Turn!" Shouted almost simultaneously, the two armies began to rotate to their respective right.
"Forward!" Uesugi Keikatsu and Gamo Fuhide attacked at the same time, as if they had agreed with each other.
"Huh?" Uesugi Kenshin, who was watching the battle, frowned, how familiar this tactic is, isn't this the car suspension array that he is proud of?
"Humph! Do you think you can put out the car suspension if you know the principle? What arrogance! I'd like to see how far you can learn! Uesugi Kenshin didn't care, but instead despised Hosokawa Nobumoto a little, because as a caster, he knew too well the difficulties of this formation.
First of all, this has strict requirements for the command of the general general, not only the time must be accurate, but the connection of the various reserve units is even more crucial. Second, the reserve units are not subordinate to each other, and most of them do not even distinguish between the left and right, let alone rotate regularly, which will test the ability and tacit understanding of the reserve commander.
The last point is that Uesugi Ken believes that he doesn't believe that there are people in this world who can copy and use the car to hang the formation with ease!
The battle was still going on, and the two armies were rotating around each other in their respective orbits. Hosokawa Nobugen had a telescope and a flag with a two-color flag, and he also asked the reserve team to use the old and the new to get them used to it. With these auxiliary bonus props, the first time he commanded the large array was quite easy, and he was on par with Kenshin Uesugi.
"How is this possible!" Uesugi Kenshin looked at all this in disbelief, the other party's car suspension array was the same as his own, it was almost like a mold carved out, and it felt like he was looking in a mirror.
The retainers of the Uesugi family are even more like turning over the river and the sea in their hearts, there should only be a car suspension array that the god of war and their lord can cast in the world, and Hosokawa Nobumoto on the opposite side can also cast it! And it seems to be the first time! This... It's simply... It is... Can't be called human anymore! Demons! This is the answer they all have in mind.
"Very well, keep it up like this!" Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded with satisfaction, thanks to the military training method of later generations in his reserve, the first thing to do when entering the training is to identify the front and back, otherwise it really can't be used. There are many ways to demoralize the enemy, but the most intuitive and quickest way is... Defeat your enemy with the tactics he is best at and most proud of!
"Damn! Hosokawa Nobumoto, that bastard! Dare to learn from me! Good! I'll let you learn! I'll let you learn! Herald! Change formation!! For the first time in his life, Uesugi Kenshin felt extremely angry, and when his retainers betrayed him, he laughed it off, taught him a lesson, and forgave him. But today! He will never forgive! He considered this the greatest insult to him! It's defilement!
"Oh? Are you going to change formations? Hosokawa Nobugen kept an eye on Uesugi Kenshin's every move with his binoculars, and watched as his herald arrived at Uesugi Keitora, and Bowashigaru began to prepare.
"Humph! Let's take a look at the upgraded version of the car suspension! Herald! Change formations! Hosokawa Nobumoto also gave the order to change the formation, and I saw that the herald immediately waved a small two-color flag and transmitted it to the front military formation at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"My lord! An order has come from this formation! Change formations! "Each reserve has a special observer who is responsible for receiving orders and passing them on to the reserve commander as soon as possible.
"The whole army obeys the order! The commanders gave their orders, and the Hosokawa army ran like machines, with unmistakable accuracy.
Stompe! Stompe! Gradually, the two armies turned to the right, giving way to the middle passage almost at the same time.
"Ready! Huh? "Uesugi Keitora was about to give the order to release arrows and shoot the exposed Hosokawa army, but... They were greeted by the muzzle of a black hole.
"Shoot!" Takuto Kiyohiro roared angrily!
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The iron cannon roared, and a large number of lead bullets whistled and flew towards the exposed Uesugi Bowashigaru!
Poof! "Uhh Uesugi bowed and fell in pieces.
"Archery! Fight back! Fast! Uesugi Keihu lowered his head slightly, and the empty buckshot flew past his ears.
Whoosh! The arrows flew up, poof! But it fell not far in front of the Hosokawa iron cannon, and the range was not enough!
"Damn! Has Hosokawa Nobumoto even counted this point? Horse samurai too! Why haven't you come yet! Uesugi Kenshin's face turned red with anger, the first time he felt that he had made a mistake, the first time he felt the certainty of the cavalry attack, it was not suitable enough...
