What the hell is the use of a neat array?!

Well, of course it worked, and it was very useful, definitely not just at parades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOtherwise, how could Oda Nobunaga, including Akechi Mitsuhide, who studied how to make their troops stronger all these days, add this training method to their own troops?

Yes, including Imagawa and Matsudaira, they will have such an array requirement when training their troops, but unfortunately none of them can reach such an exaggerated level as the troops under Oda Yoshinobu.

First of all, it's shocking! When later generations watched the military parade, which was more shocking, the neat square array in China or the juggling military parade in India? There is no doubt that it is Chinese. And every time I watch it, I feel shocked from the bottom of my heart. So the question is, if this kind of shock is changed to Japan in this era, will it still be able to shock the people who watch?

Of course, you can, and the military parade at the world's first martial arts competition is the best proof of this. Will that shock the enemy in battle? Naturally, too! Although the war is about who commands well, kills more, and reacts quickly, the neat formation is still enough to shock the enemy's heart. Because the neat queue itself is a display of combat effectiveness.

After all, in this era, there is no guard of honor specifically for spectatorship, so no one will think that these enemies who can play in a neat queue will not have the corresponding combat effectiveness. On the contrary, because of the neatness of the queue, the attack of this army will become stronger. Which is stronger, a neat row of guns or a messy gun forest? Obvious.

The second and greatest advantage. That is, the neat queue can make the soldiers more familiar with the formation. Sounds a bit nonsense, after all, what does a neat queue have to do with a formation? It's like the current array of arrows arranged by the Oda family, which cannot be explained by a horizontal or vertical line.

Indeed, a neat queue and formation may seem unrelated, but they can develop a soldier's excellent sense of position. In the formation of troops, the most important thing is the sense of position. Where to stand, and where to stand after moving? Obviously, it is impossible for the generals who train the formation to really teach one by one, but if the soldiers can send out a neat queue, then it is enough for the generals to teach only one person in the formation, because the rest will follow.

And this is the reason why the Oda Army was able to do so quickly and neatly in the changing formation. Although Oda Yoshinobu did not hide his training methods, it was clear that Matsudaira Ieyasu had not done enough.

At this time, Mikatahara.

The Takeda Army and the Oda Army were only 600 meters apart.

The Takeda army was 50,000 men and fought against the enemy in a crane wing formation.

At the front, there was a vanguard of 1,000 iron cannons and archers, and behind them, 4,000 spearmen led by Baba Nobubo, all of whom were Takeda Shingen's Red Guards. Yes, as mentioned earlier, in addition to the 2,000 cavalry, most of the Takeda family's red guards were actually composed of spearmen, iron gunners and archers, and these troops were a full 8,000 people. Among them, the Iron Gunners and Archers carry iron cannons and bows and arrows, as well as Notai swords, so that they can continue to kill the enemy in close combat.

The wild knife, also known as the big knife, is the longest knife used by the army, with a length of 150 centimeters and a total length of 225 centimeters. If you use it for martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use. In fact, the famous Daita Sword Hero in history, it seems that there is no one else except Sasaki Kojiro.

But in the army, this kind of knife has become very practical, and the reason is very simple, one inch is long and one inch is strong. Although it is difficult to use too many tricks because the blade is too long, it does not need so many tricks on the battlefield that pays attention to concise killing. A simple chop and sweep is enough to deal with most possible situations on the battlefield.

On both sides of the front formation were the second formation of the Crane Wing Formation, which were 5,000 people led by Anayama Nobuyuki on the left and 5,000 people led by Sanada Nobutsuna on the right.

In the back, there are three formations, namely the 5,000 people of Mieda Mamotomo on the left, and the 5,000 people of Nobushige Oyamada.

Then there was the main camp, an army of 10,000 commanded by Takeda Shingen himself.

On both sides of the main formation, on the left is the 1000-flag team led by Nobuyoru Takeda, and on the right is the 1000-flag team led by a Shinryu.

And the two of the flag team are Yamayama Masakei, on the left, and Takasaka Masanobu on the right. They each led 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, of which 6,000 were good at running.

In the end, it was the 5,000 people led by Naito Masatyo who were in the rear.

On the other side, the Oda Army fought against the Takeda Army's Crane Wing Formation with a sharp arrow formation, with a total of 40,000 men.

Also at the forefront was the 2000 Musketeers led by Shigehide Suzuki himself. However, at this time, the muskets in their hands were very different from the iron cannons used by the Takeda Army opposite.

Because under the barrels of these muskets, there was a 30-centimeter blade! While Oda Yoshinobu was staying on Nanao Island, which was garrisoned by Yu Dayou in the Ming Kingdom, he happened to see a soldier inserting a spearhead into the barrel of an artillery gun for training, and he remembered such a thing as a bayonet.

Later, when Oda Yoshinobu returned to Japan, he had been working on the bayonet, but it was not going very well until he got Shigehide Suzuki and Charlie, and under their research, he succeeded in developing a barrel that could stabilize the bayonet and a blade suitable for use as a bayonet.

However, because of the time, this is the first time that the bayonet has been officially used on the battlefield, and even the training of the bayonet has not been carried out many times, so it is not very clear how much combat power it can be transformed into. However, Oda Yoshinobu had already decided to tell Oda Nobunaga about this after the war in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the musketeers.

And behind the iron artillery team, there was a 6,000-strong advance led by Matsudaira Ieyasu.

On either side of the rear of the front line, there was a second formation of 5,000 men led by Tadaji Sakai on the left and 5,000 men led by Tadashi Okubo on the right, and together with the front line led by Matsudaira Ieyasu, they formed an inverted triangle of arrows.

Although Oda Yoshinobu previously said that Matsudaira Ieyasu had no chance to be the first player, he finally got the position of the first team under his strong request. However, strictly speaking, this also has a lot to do with the fact that there are too few retainers under Oda Yoshinobu. It seems that there are many retainers under Oda Yoshinobu, and many of them are famous generals in history. But now, because of Oda Yoshinobu's own reasons, generals who can go into battle have become very rare.

Or is this what you won't die if you don't die? With such a powerful force of the Oda family, there is naturally no problem with the four-front battle, but Oda Yoshinobu is a retainer who actually plays the third-line battle. Sado, Shikoku, and now Enoe, in this case, it would be hellish if the retainers could have enough.

Behind the arrow, there was a mid-line of 5,000 men under the command of Shima Zuo himself. Although Oda Yoshinobu trusted Shima Sakin as a general, but because of the lack of people and Shima Saku's own request, Oda Yoshinobu finally had to agree. At the same time, Yoshitsugu Otani, who was only 12 years old, was appointed as the lieutenant general of Shimazo and followed him.

For Otani Yoshitsugu, Oda Yoshinobu is very optimistic, well, he can't help but be optimistic, after all, he is a famous general in history. So in order to be able to make Yoshitsugu grow faster, he also brought it out in this battle.

After that, they were the 1,000 Shinigami led by Shiraki Yukihisa and the 300 ninja army commanded by Chiyo Mochizuki. By the way, although ninjas mostly carry out various secret missions, it does not mean that they do not know how to fight on the battlefield.

The most famous of them is probably the Wind Demon Ninja under the command of the Hojo family. Unlike the ninjas of Iga and Koga, the Wind Demon Ninja is more like a special force, because in the years of the Hojo family's crusade, the most common thing the Wind Demon Ninja did was to carry out various night attacks and sneak attacks with pure cavalry resources.

Ahem, pull it back. There is no doubt that the ninja's combat power is definitely stronger than any ordinary soldier. After all, compared to the vast majority of ordinary soldiers who only officially began training in their teens, the vast majority of ninjas began training when they were 4 or 5 years old, and they were still inhuman training.

In these trainings, individual combat skills are as important as reconnaissance and stealth. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the ninja can be imagined. While 300 ninjas may not be able to defeat 300 pikemen on the battlefield, 300 ninjas plus 300 regular troops are likely to be able to beat 1,000 or more enemies.

Compared to ordinary soldiers, the small knives they use are not very suitable for use on the battlefield. However, the short-range long-range attacks combined with kunai and shuriken are enough to become a very powerful combat power.

And in the rear of the Grim Reaper and the ninja army, it is the main camp where Oda Yoshinobu is located. It's just that compared to Takeda Shingen's huge main formation of 10,000 people, Oda Yoshinobu's side is much more pitiful. Because the entire main camp is just a force composed of 500 female Shin Reaper and 200 female ninja.

700 people...... Perhaps among all the tens of thousands of troops in history, this is definitely the smallest number of people in this formation, right? It sounds incredible, but that's what Yoshinobu Oda meant. In this regard, Dao Zuojin only persuaded a few words, and Li Huamei hesitated, but neither of them objected in the end.

After all, Oda Yoshinobu's strength is obvious to all, and coupled with Kuromaru's speed, it can be said that Oda Yoshinobu is the person who needs to worry the least on the entire battlefield. Of course, the chaotic battlefield is ruthless, but coupled with the protection of the Grim Reaper and the ninjas, although they are all women, under the teaching of various high-intensity and excellent teachers, their combat effectiveness is definitely not lower than ordinary standing equipment.

Moreover, there were a large number of troops to resist the enemy on the way to the main formation, and there were 5,000 people under the command of Honda Tadakatsu and Ii Naotora on the left and right, plus 5,000 people led by Uden Nagasho who was stationed in the rear, it can be said that although the number of people in the main camp where Oda Yoshinobu was located was small, it was still extremely safe.
