In fact, many people who are fighting fiercely have noticed this army for a long time, but because this army of unknown origin has not moved for a long time, they have not paid much attention to it, and now, the latter is finally going to join the war group, which makes many people feel a little empty————

What if they are the enemy's troops?

Sakuma Mori rushed halfway through the horse, and saw that the officers and soldiers of Date were already preparing to launch a countercharge under the shouts of their respective leaders.

Sakuma Morimasa suddenly raised the horse gun in his hand, drew a circle in mid-air, and then pulled the reins, drove the yellow horse that was sitting down, and ran parallel to the left.

With Sakuma Morimasa's movements, the four thousand Shibata Army elites immediately appeared in groups again, and were evenly divided into two teams, one team followed Sakuma Morimasa to run parallel to the left, and the other team ran parallel to the right in the opposite direction.

The two teams of Shibata Army elites each controlled the speed of the war horses, so that the distance between each other widened, and soon in front of Date officers and soldiers, two parallel skirmishment lines appeared, just when the Date Army did not understand the meaning of Sakuma Morimasa and others doing this, Sakuma Morimasa's spear suddenly fell, and the three hundred Shibata Army iron artillery elites in the front told Date the answer with actions. They raised their arms at the same time, and the arquebuses on their arms were ready to fire!

【Bang————! 】

【Bang————! 】……

Next, in the sound of rattling projectile shots, Shibata Jun fired all the bullets in the chamber at the same time.

More than 300 bullets whistled through the space and came to Date officers and soldiers.

The elite level of the Shibata army is needless to say, and their ability to conduct [mounted archery]. It was already perfect, and the projectiles fired in the case of a skirmish line were inconsistent, and there was no situation where two people shot an Date soldier at the same time.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Date who were caught off guard were under this round of fierce fire. There were a large number of casualties, and for a while, in front of the Date array, the sight of people turning on their backs became an enduring sight.

This was accompanied by the painful wails of Date officers and soldiers and the mournful screams of his horses.

This battle is destined to go down in history———— new class of troops in the Warring States Period, [Riding Iron], officially entered the stage of history under the interpretation of the Shibata Army.

Confusion. Inevitably, it spread among the officers and soldiers of Date.

Oh, my God! They actually combined iron cannons and cavalry! How did you come up with this death?!

After the officers and soldiers in the front were shot to the ground by the Shibata army, they immediately turned into obstacles, successfully blocking the horse's hooves of the companions behind, and many Date soldiers who had no time to stop the war horses were tripped to the ground by the Date officers and soldiers who fell to the ground or their war horses, and then the war horses driven by the companions further behind were trampled into meat paste.

However. The doom is not over yet. Shibata Jun after completing a round of mounted shooting, under the leadership of Sakuma Morimasa. Continue to run to the sides, giving way to the battlefield in the middle. Sakuma Morimasa immediately led a thousand Sakuma troops, quickly occupied the central battlefield, and rushed towards Date officers and soldiers.

On the side, the four thousand Oda troops led by Narumi Katsuzaburo and Seo Daisuke, who had already been engaged in the battle before, were in the passionate shouts of the elite of the friendly army. Inspired by the blood boiling, they had been fighting fiercely for a long time and were exhausted, but this did not hinder their determination to kill the enemy. Four thousand recruits, led by Narumi Katsuzaburo and Daisuke Seo, erupted in a thunderous roar at the same time:

[Don't lose to your companions! Kill! Kill! Kill! 】

Then. The elite of the Sanada army commanded by Sanada Masayuki was divided into two, and half of them protected the retreat of the iron gunners. The other half, led by Sanada Masayuki, raised their katanas and built a gate of flesh and blood in front of the enemy, with strong armor and sharp blades.

【Mamoru Anbo!】 It's up to you! 】

[Got it! 】

Unlike Sakuma Morimasa, the Sanada army led by Sanada Masayuki was originally the main force of this war, and after Sanada Masayuki looked back and saw Sakuma Morimasa's actions, he no longer had any scruples in his heart, and immediately commanded the Sakuma army, instigated war horses, and killed the Date officers and soldiers.

And Sakuma Morimasa will not be idle, the Sakuma army under his command killed on the side of the Sanada army, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust, as if it was a long dragon, fiercely crashing into the ranks of Date officers and soldiers.

Immediately, the spear was raised, expanding and expanding in the air like lightning, and the famous [Pig Samurai] and [Oni Xuanfan] Sakuma Morimasa rose up with great might, and stabbed an Ida officer and soldier in front of him with a single blow.

The war officially began.

The Sakuma army performed very well, and the Sanada army did not eat white rice, among which the elites waved their spears and showed the power of this weapon more than one zhang long to the fullest, and some flags held swords, or stabbed, or chopped, or picked, and kept cutting down Date officers and soldiers off their horses.

Suda Boqi was shocked.

[Where did this enemy come from?!] 】

【Adult! Judging from the family crest, it seems to be the troops of Katsuya Shibata of Ueno! 】

【Shibata Katsuya! He's not...... How could his army be here?! 】

[I don't know! Lord, do you want to ask Xiong Di for help?! 】

[Nonsense! This enemy is fierce, and I can't stop it with my strength, so you should return to the bear mansion immediately and ask the general for help! 】

[Hi Yi! 】

At this time, the disadvantage of the Date army's formation was revealed————

The front line is too long, and Matsuda is quite a distance away from the Xiong Mansion, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

[Brethren! Don't be afraid, everyone! We've been through a lot of battles, and we can't just lose a war so easily! 】

Naturally, the Date Army was not willing to be captured and began their counterattack.

The Date army was mostly cavalry, so there were only two types of weapons - knives or guns. The Date Army raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the Sakuma Army near him, who expected, the Sakuma Army relied on the well-trained block, and easily blocked most of the Date Army's slashing, only a small part of it really slashed the Sakuma Army's body, but before the Date Army cheered, the blades in their hands were like slashing on a stubborn stone, and they were shocked back.

The sturdy armor on the Sakuma army blocked most of the power of the Date army's swords, and not many of the Sakuma army were injured, and the most serious thing was that only fifty or sixty soldiers were killed, but on the contrary, the Date army had more than two hundred casualties.

I have to admit that the Shibata Army is indeed the most capable unit in the Oda Army, and the quality of its soldiers and weapons and equipment are also the best.

As an elite unit under Shibata Katsuie, Shibata Katsuie's cost to the Sakuma army is huge every day.

Shibata Katsuke equipped them with sturdy armor, sharp spears, powerful iron cannons, and horses with extremely strong running ability, and under this huge expense, once the Sakuma army was put into battle, it was a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

They have both the common characteristics of light and heavy officers and soldiers, and can also perform [mounted shooting] such actions that even Takeda Akabei on a training day cannot complete, coupled with strong armor and sharp guns, they are like moving killing machines, they can defend like a heavy soldier at the same time, but also have the mobility of light officers and soldiers, and at the same time, their lethality is also terrifying.

Of course, the Shibata family's finances have been in trouble many times because of this, which is another matter, anyway, the Shibata Katsu family is here to deal with the Hojo clan, and Oda Nobunaga is willing to pay this money for him.

The bravery of the Sakuma army blocked the advance of Date officers and soldiers, so that Date officers and soldiers in the sprint had to stop the sprinting horses. There is no way, in the face of a killing machine like the Sakuma Army, the Ida officers and soldiers with weak armor will no longer dare to collide with the Sakuma Army after some attempts, because the two sides are not in the same weight class at all.

When the Sakuma army successfully blocked the footsteps of the front Date officers and soldiers, the Date officers and soldiers who had no time to stop the war horses behind them. Because he couldn't see the situation in front of him, he still rushed up quickly, but he collided with the friendly troops who stopped their horses in front, and after the two collided, the Date army fell off their horses one after another. was trampled into a pulp by the clansmen who had no time to restrain the war horses, which caused chaos within a certain range.

Seeing that the two armies of Sakuma and Sanada temporarily dragged the army of the Date army, Narumi Katsuzaburo and others immediately made a decision, and ordered to lead his subordinates to fight more desperately.

The Shibata military headquarters was sharp and had a tendency to tear the enemy to pieces; And Narumi and others, who were born in black clothes, are calm and calm, step by step. Although the two have different combat styles, their strong military demeanor is undoubtedly on display.

At the same time, Sakuma Morimasa beckoned Sanada and his son, and personally led the Sakuma army to quietly bypass the battlefield and kill the rear of the Date army.

[Anfang Mamoru , you guys come and cover for me! ] I'm going to get the enemy's generals!! 】

Capture the thief and capture the king first, this is the eternal truth. Now those Date army commanders are only guarded by more than 10,000 Date army cavalry, and it is a good time for lightning to attack.

As Sakuma Morimasa's way of using troops, he is to rush forward as much as possible and attack! Offensive! Offensive! How much strength, how much strength!

They are a force that is mainly mobile and lethal.

The war horses they were equipped with were the fastest and most durable in Sakuma Morimasa's army. Under the command of Sakuma Morimasa, from Sanada father and son down, 5,000 bloody soldiers instigated war horses and rushed towards the rear of Date Army like lightning. The war horses of the Blood Killing Army are all good horses, and the yellow horse of Sakuma Morima's horse and the horse of Sanada and his son are also famous good horses.

From a distance, this team of people and horses in the rapid rush looked like a churning long snake, with endless murderous aura, rushing straight to the locked target.

Sakuma Morimasa is such a person who likes to attack, in history, because he attacked too fiercely, he couldn't take it back at once, and as a result, it caused a rout of the entire Shibata army!

Of course, in this world, the Battle of Mt. Cheap will never happen again. (To be continued.) )
