Does Oda Yoshinobu look down on Takeda Jun? Obviously impossible, no matter how arrogant and ignorant Oda Yoshinobu is, he doesn't think that he can defeat the Takeda army by himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, if he adds the Grim Reapers, as well as the rest of the troops......

Oda Yoshinobu knew very well that his own troops were far superior to the Japanese troops of this era in every sense. This is something that Oda Yoshinobu can know even if he doesn't have any military knowledge, not to mention that he has participated in countless wars over the years and has seen too many troops of all kinds.

And although he has not undergone the training of these soldiers, when he is fine, Oda Yoshinobu will let Shiraki Yukihisa lead the Reaper and the standing of Shima Left to conduct actual combat drills, so the combat effectiveness of his own troops, Oda Yoshinobu can easily judge from this kind of drill.

Of course, the most important thing is still Oda Yoshinobu's absolute self-confidence. It's as if Takeda Shingen didn't care about the combat effectiveness of the Oda Army or whatever, but he never thought that he would lose to the Oda Army in the field. Self-confidence is one of the most important qualities of a man or an ambitious person in power. Because when you lose that absolute self-confidence, you've already lost.

At this time, when Shima gave the order to let the troops move forward 50 steps again, the atmosphere of slaughter in the sky over Mikatahara seemed to have reached a peak. Whether it was the Oda Army or the Takeda Army, their movements became more and more cautious, and even the sound of wheezing became inaudible. Because they all know that at such a distance, any kind of action may be attacked by the enemy's fiercest attack.

On the other side, seeing the actions of the Oda Army, Takeda Shingen's smile became even stronger, "Although I don't know if it is Nashima Zuojin or Li Huamei who commands the army, but this kind of command is really aggressive, and it is very similar to Oda Yoshinobu's style in the intelligence~"

"It is said that Oda Yoshinobu's retainers admired Oda Yoshinobu very much, so many behaviors and actions were inevitably contaminated with some of his styles, especially that Maeda Keiji." Muto Masayuki replied when he heard this.

Belch...... Well, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield didn't seem to affect the two of them at all.

150 meters, this is the current distance between the Oda army and the Takeda army, and Shimazuo is very clear to control the distance outside the effective range of muskets and bows.

In this era, the range of muskets was actually between 100 and 200 meters, and bows and arrows could reach a range of about 300 meters if they were projectile. It just sounds very far, but this is only the maximum range, and the distance that can cause damage is the effective distance.

The effective distance is only 70 meters for muskets and less than 100 meters for bows and arrows. And because of the hit rate, most of the muskets actually fire at 30-40 meters. After all, if you can't hit someone, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless.

It can be seen that Shimazuo is still very cautious in the face of this war, and even a little too cautious. Of course, if you think about the identity of the enemy general, and the importance of this war, this is also understandable.

"But ......" Takeda Shingen looked at the Oda Army in front of him, with an intriguing smile on his face, "The real test is only about to begin now......"

As he spoke, a series of orders were conveyed from the Takeda Army's main formation, and soon, the advance led by Baba Nobubo began to move forward, and at the same time, the two wings led by Nobuyoshi Anayama and others also began to continue to move to the front left and the front right. It's just that compared to the previous move, this time the speed of the Takeda Army has undoubtedly increased a lot, and it seems that it is not as simple as wanting to move forward.

"It's coming!" Seeing this, Shimazuo immediately began to give orders, and with the order, the 2000 musket team led by Shigehide Suzuki was ready to shoot almost instantly, and the rear, the vanguard of Commander Matsudaira Ieyasu, also began to move forward.

140 m ......

"Archer prepare!"

"Brush Brush Brush ......"

Hundreds of red-armored ashigaru bows and arrows bent their bows and arrows quickly, without hindering their continued movement.

100 m ......

"Raise your bow!"

At the same time as the order was given, hundreds of archers quickly raised their bows and arrows, aiming directly at the sky in front of them in the move.

90 m ......

"Put!"

With this order, the archery team that had been advancing immediately stopped, "Whoosh! One by one, the arrows flew off the string and flew into the sky ahead, and in a few breaths, they crossed the open field in the middle and reached the sky above where the Oda army was.

However, in this regard, the Oda family's musket team, which was on the strongest side, only pressed down the array hat on their heads, and some of them covered their faces with their elbows a little and continued to walk forward.

......Hundreds of arrows dragged into the Oda army, but most of them were resisted by the array at the head of the Oda army. Either it was cut or bounced off, and only a few unlucky eggs were shot, but they didn't hit the vital parts.

In fact, when muskets gradually began to appear on the battlefield in large quantities, bows and arrows began to slowly withdraw from the battlefield. After all, a qualified musketeer only needs a few months of training, but a qualified archer can take a year or more. And most importantly, the selection criteria for musketeers are much lower than those for archers.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Oda family was becoming more and more strict about the sale of muskets, Takeda Shingento would have planned to convert all bows and arrows into muskets.

The troops on both sides continued to advance, while the archers stayed where they were, firing their arrows into the air. Countless Takeda troops passed by them, and there was nothing wrong with them.

80 m ......

"Iron Artillery Ready!"

"All ready!"

Two orders rang out at the same time in the musket teams of both sides, and with this order, hundreds of muskets of the Takeda Army were immediately ready to fire. And the same is true of the Oda army on the other side.

70 m ......

60 m ......

50 m ......

When the musketeers were less than 50 meters apart, they quickly crouched down. Although the effective range reaches 70 meters, 30-40 meters is the maximum power distance of the musket, but if it is too close, it is obviously difficult for the musketeer team to withdraw from the battlefield.

Yes, quit the battlefield, because of the various shortcomings of the musket, although it has been valued by various daimyos, but in this case, the musket team is basically said to flash with one shot. Because in this kind of unsafe plain area, once the musket team encounters the enemy at close range, it is simply a gift of heads and muskets.

"Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang!" Countless sounds continued to sound on the battlefield as if they were exploding, and the musket teams of the Takeda Army and the Oda Army were venting their fire on each other.

"It's now!" Baba Nobubo and Matsudaira Ieyasu both thought at the same time.

"Spear team! Charge! Then he led the lead to kill the opponent. At the same time, the musketeers of the Takeda Army continued to prepare for shooting and began to retreat rapidly from both sides of the Takeda Army's pikemen who rushed up. On the one hand, it is not to stop the advance of its own spearmen, and on the other hand, it is always ready to shoot a second time.

"Keep moving forward!" Seeing this, Matsudaira Ieyasu also gave the order, but he did not let the troops accelerate their advance, because ......

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of countless musket shots rang out again, which directly stunned the Baba Shinbo who followed the charge of the army.

In this era, the interval between the firing of muskets was about one minute, because after the shot, it was necessary to go through the work of filling gunpowder, projectiles, etc. This speed becomes slower, especially on the road. That's why Baba Nobubo led his troops to rush forward immediately after the first round of shooting, in order to engage the enemy in close combat before the enemy fired the second shot.

But now, the iron cannon of the Oda family continues to shoot......

"What's going on?! Did they use the iron cannon separately? Judging from the dense sound just now, it should be the fire of hundreds of iron cannons! Baba Nobubo thought with a gloomy face, but then, his expression changed to resoluteness, "Pass the order, speed up and charge!" ”

At this time, the Takeda army had already begun to charge, but if it wanted to stop, it could still stop, and at most it would lose some ashigaru. But the problem is that once it stops in this case, it will not only make the momentum of the entire Takeda Army decline, but also fall into passivity on the battlefield, after all, the footsteps of the Oda Army have not stopped.

"Kill!" The Takeda army shouted and began to rush towards the enemy formation frantically, although there was a dense array of muskets in front of them, but they were ready to attack, and there was no retreat!

The continuous sound of gunfire continued to sound, which made the well-equipped as red as the one also began to show damage, but in this regard, the horse farm Nobubo did not frown. Indeed, the Takeda family spent a lot of money on training the Akabei, and every time they counted after the war, the loss of one of them would make them feel distressed and half dead. But that ...... Just after the war!

During the war, the Red Bei people and even the generals who commanded the Red Preparation, when they did not hear the order to retreat, would never retreat without authorization, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them!

40 m ......

30 m ......

As the distance got closer, more and more of the Takeda army fell to the ground and could not get up again, but this did not make the fiery red have any fear, on the contrary, the death of their companion only made them more angry.

"Fire!" Nearly 4,000 gunmen shouted, again speeding up the charge.

20 m ......

The vanguard led by Matsudaira Ieyasu had already rushed up, and the musket team under the command of Shigehide Suzuki also quickly retreated from both sides of the formation to the rear. It seemed to be flowing like a cloud, without any pause, and when the distance was only 10 meters away, what appeared in front of the Takeda army was already the 6,000 vanguard led by Matsudaira Ieyasu.

"Kill! Let the bastards of the Takeda family know that the warriors of the Samurai of Mikawa! Matsudaira Ieyasu shouted.
