Wise Kogoro wears a black armor and a silver helmet, and stands in front of him as a cross, and he rides his horse.

He looked up at the already dilapidated Xiong Ruogong, and couldn't help but [admire] and said:

[What a shrine! 】

Wise Kogoro [tsk praise], immediately turned his gaze, returned to the horse and ordered:

[Listen up, everyone! Build a strong defense line as fast as you can, and we will fight a big battle with the enemy here! 】

Akechi Kogoro knew very well that Kumawakanomiya - Kumashitei - Matsuda, in the position of these three points and one line, the unpredictable plains made it difficult for the enemy's right flank to break through, but his left flank had some chance of being outflanked. Despite the fact that the enemy's left flank line was located in the annoying plains.

He therefore judged that the only way to succeed was to attack the enemy's left flank and the center of the left flank, especially at the end of the left flank and the point between Kumawakanomiya and Kuma's residence.

In order to realize this determination, the Oda Army [Camouflage Plan] advanced in two columns from Hosoya, who had defeated Takakura Saime; Always ready to storm enemy lines.

three reserves of the avant-garde and two pikes with five hundred men, under his own command;

The three cavalry reserves of the left flank (which was responsible for covering and acting slightly in advance) and the seven or eight hundred men of the Echigo Army, commanded by the generals of the Echigo Army;

The rest of the Ashigaru forces were on the left flank and were commanded by Oda generals such as Daisuke Seo.

This arrangement may seem incomprehensible, but a closer look reveals that ———— avant-garde Wise Kogoro and the Echigo Army on the left flank were responsible for storming Kumawakanomiya to cover the advance on the right flank.

And the purpose of the right. It was to go straight to Matsuda and go south to assault the enemy's left flank!

Give the dummy. In other words, this is the oriental version of [oblique attack tactics]!

The Oda Army's southward movement went undetected by the Date Army.

It's okay with Date Terumune. Whether it is Zuo Yuezhai or Ghost Court, they obviously lack understanding of the situation.

They decided that Akechi Kogoro's goal was to cut off the Date Army's lines of communication at the Kuma's Mansion, so the Oda Army had slipped away.

But the father and son on the right wing did not have this delusion, because Endo Munobu, who fled back after defeat, he could see some of the cavalry of Akekogoro even in the dark. These cavalrymen were left on the hills of Kumawakanomiya by Akekogoro in order to deceive the other party.

After listening to his son's report, Endo Kinobu believed that not only did he think that the Oda army would definitely attack, but also that the spearhead of the attack was aimed at him. So he immediately asked Date Terumune for reinforcements.

At first this request was denied, but after repeated requests, Date Terumune, who was not very good at military affairs, finally agreed to send some reserves from the middle of the battle line and some cavalry from the left flank to reinforce him.

Once reinforcements arrived, Akechi Kogoro, who was in Kumawakanomiya, would have to face the nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers of Date Army directly with a mere 2,000 men.

But that's exactly what Akekogoro wants, and the more the enemy values himself, the more invisibly this happens. Attention to Matsuda will drop a few points.

Therefore, when Akechi Kogoro was about to unleash a [oblique attack] formation that would be very typical in later generations, attacking the left flank of Date Gunjuku Shosuda Hakuki and Uchibaba Saemon. Part of the right flank of the Date Army and a large part of the reserve were four or five miles away.

Suda Boqi's department did not have many iron cannons, so he ordered his subordinates to attack with bows and arrows first. Anyway, the opponent's infantry is light and not fast.

Pioneer of the Oda Army. Narumi Katsuzaburo rode his horse and ran, waving the horse gun in his hand. Push away the arrows that come from the shot. He took the lead and roared:

[Brethren! Don't be afraid! Kill! 】

When encountering such a situation, you can't be cowardly, but you should kill it.

Only by killing can we vent the anger in our hearts.

[Kill! Kill! Kill! 】

[Kill! Kill! Kill! 】……

Nearly 4,000 infantry, responded loudly.

In an instant, a roar like rolling thunder resounded on the battlefield, making people change color when they heard it. When Suda Boqi, a retainer of the Date family, heard this, he showed a look of surprise on his face, good guy, this is an elite army! It turns out that the shogunate's army is like this, no wonder it was able to take over the world!

Marching and fighting, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and unified command, for such an army, Suda Boqi, who fought for the Date family all his life, is also praised.

The first few men screamed, brandished their spears or knives, knocked their bows and arrows away, and rushed forward.

[Da! Da! ……】

The rumbling footsteps grew louder and louder, and the infantry charged faster and faster.

Bows and arrows are used for long-range shooting, and when the distance between the two sides is gradually reduced, they lose their power.

However, Suda Boqi had already made adequate arrangements, and he was not afraid of the infantry led by Narumi Katsuzaburo at all. He looked at the rapidly charging Ashigaru, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, the Oda army of the shogunate will stay here today and become a history of the past.

It's just that before Suda Boqi's smile could be removed, his face changed greatly.

[Oh no! The enemy has an iron cannon, quick, back up! 】

Xi Zhicai yelled and hurriedly retreated with Suda Boqi.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Uchibaba Uemon's face also changed greatly, and he shouted:

[Stand up, stand up!] 】

When Uchibaba yelled, he quickly snatched a large [shield] from the soldier's hand, holding a knife in one hand and a [shield] in the other.

This shield-like weapon was popular in the Heian period and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but in the early Warring States period, it was almost eliminated, and it was used by ancient families like the Date family.

Led by Narumi Katsuzaburo, all the cavalry actually took out an iron cannon from the pocket of the war horse......

The iron cannon itself is not terrible, but what if the other side takes out four or five hundred iron cannons at the same time?!

Since the Oda army left for Vietnam, because the opponents encountered were not strong, and there was not even much performance in the first battle of Wuhai, they rarely killed the enemy with iron cannons, and chose to kill them directly.

[Poof! Burst! 】

The power of the projectile is very large, much more powerful than a bow and arrow. When the bow and arrow are fired intensively, it is not like a single shot at a certain soldier, its power is bound to be weakened a lot, so it is difficult to penetrate the armor, and even if it penetrates the armor, it is difficult to kill the charging enemy. However, the projectile is different, after it is shot, as long as it hits the soldier, it instantly breaks through the armor and pierces into the flesh and blood.

When the dense projectiles fell, a continuous muffled sound was heard.

[Ah!! 】

One by one, the soldiers lay on the ground, rolling and screaming.

Some of them were shot in the arm, some in the thigh, and even in the cheek, and in short, the soldiers who were shot were in great pain and in a bleak condition.

By the way, the iron cannon of this era, that is, the arquebus, because it is a bulk relationship, so the damage range is not a small hole like in the movie, but a large hole, similar to a shotgun.

Therefore, many soldiers were not hit to the vital point, but died of pain because of a wound.

After a round of projectiles, Narumi Katsuzaburo led the ashigaru rush up.

It takes time to reload the projectile, and it is impossible for the iron cannon Ashigaru to throw the projectile continuously.

Although the power of the projectile is very large and the lethality is also very strong, after all, like the bow and arrow, it is a long-range shooting, shooting out to kill the enemy, and the projectile can only be thrown with enough strength after it is constantly filled.

So after one round of shots, Ashigaru had already rushed into the enemy ranks.

Suda Boqi's expression was calm, and when he saw the iron cannon foot rushing lightly, he shouted:

[Meet the enemy, meet the enemy! 】

As the words fell, the soldier holding the big cannon quickly adjusted his formation, and used the big cannon to block the rushing iron cannon. Above the big canopy, there was also a spear with a handle poking out, the sharp spear was extremely dazzling, glowing with a cold light.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies clashed.

When the two sides came into contact, Suda Boqi shouted again:

[Don't panic! Array! 】

When the order was given, the soldiers holding the big skulls dispersed, and they turned into two circles, one on the left and one on the right.

Obviously, such a circle formation had been arranged a long time ago, and as long as Suda Boqi judged the situation and gave an order after seeing the right time, he could let the soldiers under his command separate. Narumi Katsuzaburo led the troops to kill it, and immediately stabbed the gun left and right, and the tip of the gun flashed with a little cold star, taking away the lives of the soldiers one by one.

Narumi Katsuzaburo was born in black clothes, and his marksmanship was exquisite, and he could quickly knock off the spear, but it didn't mean that the soldiers under his command could do so.

[Poof! Burst! 】

After Ashigaru rushed over, Okushi blocked the charge of the iron cannon Ashigaru. At the same time, a spear poked out from the gap in the big one, or above the big one, and the spear poked into the belly of Ashigaru, killing Ashigaru directly. The spear poked out from under the big scythe hooked the horse's leg with a sharp blade in the shape of a hook and sickle, and with a sharp pull, it severed the ashigaru.

[Woohoo!] 】

Ashigaru was wounded by a spear, and kept screaming loudly and screaming.

One by one, Oda soldiers were stabbed in the body with spears in the body, or their thighs cut off!

When he fell to the ground, he splashed dust on the ground, and after the person in front fell, the person behind also fell.

When the foot falls to the ground, it is faced with a spear with a sharp handle.

The killing was merciless, very tragic.

Hundreds of Da Yu soldiers lined up one by one to form a huge team. When the iron cannon Ashigaru entered, the soldiers had a big resistance, and the brutal collision of Ashigaru could no longer be reckless, unable to quickly break through the soldiers' block, and one by one the officers and soldiers were poked by the spears that poked out, and finally fell to the ground.

One by one, the officers and men fell and piled up, causing the iron cannon to become chaotic.

[Poof! Burst! ……】

The sound of spears piercing into flesh kept coming, and it was heart-palpitating.

The soldier who fell to the ground from his horse did not have time to make a move, and was stabbed to death with a spear. Narumi Katsuzaburo saw that the army was blocked, and there were countless spears and large spears to resist, and his heart was also a little anxious.

Obviously, all the arrangements are specially made for lightweight.

Narumi Katsuzaburo swept his eyes and saw Suda Hakuki and Uchibaba Uemon in front of him, and roared angrily:

[Rebellious ministers and thieves who dare to resist the shogunate, suffer death!] (To be continued.) )
