On the artillery position of the Takeda Army, as the cavalry of the Shibata Army approached, the muzzle of the nine-pounder gun was slowly lowered.

"Two hundred!"

The artillery commander in charge of the observation, visually surveying the position of the Shibata Army's cavalry team, reported to Rui Costa.

"It's barely a bit of a distance, forget it, give me a six-pounder gun!" Rui Costa shouted.

The Takeda Army's twelve and six-pound doors roared in unison.

After the black smoke from the muzzle of the cannon rose again, Rui Costa visually measured the effect of the shelling, frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay!" ”

"Report to your lord, the nine-pounder cannon is loaded."

"Don't hesitate, hit me out, don't fire a salvo, shoot me as many shells as there are in each cannon!"

"But the lord said that only five volleys were prepared!"

"Fool," Rui Costa scolded, "if the enemy cavalry breaks through our infantry formation, will the artillery still be able to fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat?" It is necessary to kill and damage the enemy as much as possible within the range. ”

"Order all guns without waiting for orders, after loading, the gun commander will visually measure the distance, and shoot!"

"Oh!"

Li Xiao suddenly heard that the frequency of the big squad behind him began to shoot frequently, and he immediately understood what Rui Costa meant.

However, he did not correct the other party's actions, the other party was the general of the large cylinder team appointed by himself, and at this time he would definitely be able to make a judgment that was more suitable for the battlefield situation.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry team was getting faster and faster, Wu Jian reported to Li Xiaoyu again: "My lord, the distance between the Shibata Army's cavalry team is one hundred and eighty!" ”

Li Xiao took a deep breath, he used the nine-pounder cannon with a range of nearly 400 as the first line of fire, and the six-pounder cannon with a range of 200 as the second line of fire, using this to wear down the vitality of the Shibata Army's cavalry team little by little.

But that's not enough. To really kill, you have to rely on the third line of iron artillery team.

At this time, Li Xiao said loudly: "Order the iron artillery team to prepare!" ”

"In the meantime, ride your horse and get ready to attack!"

Li Xiao knew that even if he had a phalanx of the Western Kingdom, it was not invincible, and it was not enough to win, and to defeat the cavalry of the Shibata Army, he could only use cavalry in the end.

Battle at Volkhov. It was the tactics of infantry and artillery that Gustav the Great used to defeat the Polish cavalry, which had never been defeated against the Swedes.

This is the most decisive first for the new Swedish Army. The cavalry units were defeated in the field, but in the end, the battle was decided by Gustav with the onslaught of 2,100 Swedish cavalry, defeating the Polish army.

Now, with the increase in the intensity of the Takeda Army's artillery bombardment, the casualties of the Shibata Army's cavalry team began to increase.

The horses of the cavalry team pedal on all fours. Trotting all the way, the scene is like a dressage in equestrianism.

However, the face of the Shibata military samurai was not leisurely.

Although the speed of the horse was accelerated, Shibata Katsuquan witnessed the artillery bombardment of the Takeda army, and the samurai who was advancing in a good position next to him was suddenly caught off guard and was smashed head-on by stone bullets falling from the sky.

The half-dead died with a long hiss. The samurai, who had been cut off in half, lay on the ground and stretched out his hand helplessly to ask for help.

The scene is shocking.

The first line ahead, the second line of assault formations. The samurai were dying, and now the third cavalry was beginning to suffer casualties.

Shibata Katsuquan saw the panic on the faces of the samurai on horseback around him, as a samurai, he was not afraid of being taken by the enemy, but regarded it as an honor, but he was most afraid of this, a death that even the person who killed him did not know, it was a dishonorable death.

This is for the riding team. The blow to morale is huge.

In the deafening sound of shelling, Shibata Katsuquan could not bear it. Finally, he drew his sword and gave the order to the Shibata Army's cavalry to assault the whole army.

Queue of the Godo Shibata Army Riding Team. Suddenly, there was a wave of undulating impact.

Like waves of huge waves, it swept towards the Takeda military formation.

After receiving the order, the Shibata samurai clamped their legs between their legs one by one and slapped the horse's buttocks with their guns.

Under the pain of the war horse, the horse's nose spurted angrily, and immediately made a forward leap movement, and then shook off its hooves.

As the four hooves galloped forward and backward, the neck of the war horse continued to expand and contract, and the shortened mane flew straight backwards.

"Ahh

Immediately, the samurai kept urging the war horse under him, holding the spear in his hand high, and the flag behind him was almost half-bent by the headwind. …,

With the continuous acceleration, the galloping speed of the war horse accelerated to the maximum in just a few dozen days, and the first cavalry team approached less than a hundred miles in front of the Takeda army in just an instant.

In the face of the cavalry in front of him, the momentum of nearly a thousand cavalry teams, Yoshida Sun Shiro has also experienced a lot of battles, but at this moment his face is still pale and sweaty.

As the horse's hooves rolled, the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves, this kind of psychological oppression also existed in the hearts of Yoshida Sunshiro and every ashigaru in the same ranks.

The oppressive force of this impact could not be ignored by anyone, and if these horsemen were to be brought closer, even without swinging their swords, the momentum of the horses would begin to trample them into minced meat.

"The first row, the third row, the fifth row, and the seventh row of iron guns squatted lightly!"

The Iron Cannon General gave the order loudly.

Sunshiro Yoshida, who was standing in the first row, obeyed the order, with his left foot in front and his right knee on his knees, in a half-squat position.

"Shoot backwards, first row, second row raise aiming!"

Yoshida Sunshiro Yiyan raised the iron cannon in his hand, and the second row of the iron cannon team, Ashigaru, also crossed the iron cannon on his head.

The arquebus on the cannon was burning, and Yoshida Sunshiro breathed deeply, trying to keep his composure while keeping his eyes on the cavalry speeding towards him.

The Shibata Army's cavalry swept in like a wave, and in the midst of this wave, a few small waves rose from time to time, slightly hindering the momentum of the impact.

At this time, the artillery of the Takeda Army's large barrel team, they still opened fire with all their might, trying to break up the formation of the opponent's cavalry, making a final effort to kill and wound as many enemy troops as possible.

"Eighty rooms!"

Yoshida Sunshiro looked at the iron cannon general's hand and slowly raised the sword, and his breathing stopped in an instant.

"Sixty rooms!"

The Shibata Army cavalry team took another step closer, and Yoshida Sunshiro said in his heart at this distance. The iron cannon can barely shoot. However, the iron artillery general still did not give the order to shoot.

"Fifty rooms!"

This is already the effective range of the iron cannon, but the sword in the hand of the iron cannon general of the iron cannon is still raised straight in mid-air without giving an order.

At this moment, Yoshida Sunshiro's heart was like a big drum hammering, and he even doubted in his heart whether the iron cannon general had forgotten the order to shoot, and at this time, his fingers couldn't help but pull the trigger.

"Forty rooms!"

"Shoot!"

Almost at the same time. The Iron Cannon General swung the sword in his hand heavily, and roared angrily.

This moment. Yoshida Sunshiro felt his mind go blank, and his eyes became white, but fortunately, his posture remained the same, and he still pulled the trigger calmly.

When the spear head came out of the spark, Yoshida Sunshiro went soft under his feet. Instant relief.

Almost at the same time, the first two rows of iron cannons in the seven phalanxes of the Takeda Army were light, and nearly one hundred and seventy iron cannons opened fire at the same time.

This salvo of iron cannons, unlike the bombardment of large barrels, was instantaneous, as if death had lifted his scythe of death. Swing at the Shibata Army cavalry and reap the life.

In an instant, the cavalry of the Shibata Army turned on their backs.

The impact lineup of the first formation of the cavalry team was much thinner in an instant.

"Thirty rooms!"

"Shoot!" With the angry shouts of the iron cannon general.

The third and fourth rows of the Takeda Army's iron guns all pulled the trigger. Bullets rained down on the enemy cavalry, and the Shibata horseback samurai fell off their horses like sacks.

Or the war horse lost its hooves after being shot, and even the people and horses galloped at high speed, and fell and flew out of more than ten meters.

"Twenty rooms!"

"Shoot!"

"Ten!"

"Shoot!"

The cavalry of the Shibata Army suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses of the Takeda Army were scattered in front of the Takeda Army, and the corpses of the horses and samurai were almost all laid on the ground.

Almost no one was spared from the samurai on horseback who charged ahead.

The Shibata Army horseback samurai were also human beings, and even samurai were afraid of death. Seeing such heavy casualties, they began to retreat.

But at this time, it has always been known as the Takeda Army's Western Phalanx, which has never stopped firepower. But he was dumbfounded.

After all, the Shibata Army's cavalry team was too fast, and the Takeda Army only completed four rounds of shooting. With backward firing, the Takeda Iron Gun Ashigaru had retreated to the phalanx and began to reload, and it would take some time for the second shot to begin.

It was in this reloading interval that the Shibata Army's cavalry saw hope of victory. …,

The cavalry team in front had the intention of retreating, but the cavalry team in the rear had quickly surged up and launched an attack on the three banners in the center of the Takeda Army!

Seeing the Shibata Army's cavalry team pressing on, General Ashigaru of the Takeda Army immediately ordered the central spear phalanx to cover the iron artillery team to load.

The first three rows of lightly armed spears were erected in three rows of guns, pointing straight in the direction from which the Shibata Army's cavalry had come.

The Takeda army was convinced that under the gun array, even the cavalry did not dare to attack the phalanx casually.

But this prediction was wrong.

The Shibata Army's cavalry swept like a hurricane to the Takeda Army's phalanx, and at this time, they all used the cavalry spears in their hands as javelins, and with the help of the inertia of the war horses and the wrist strength of their wrists, they flew directly into the Takeda Army's spear phalanx.

This is simply a more terrifying tactic than the archers.

With the exception of a few that were removed, most of the spears almost penetrated a Takeda gungun.

The dense array of guns put forward by the Takeda army made it impossible for the spears to turn around and move, and sometimes they knew that the spears were flying towards them, but they could only watch themselves being poked through by the spears.

When it was fired by javelins, the Takeda Ashigaru phalanx suffered great losses and was even opened a gap.

There are even some who don't order the Shibata Army to ride a samurai, and the sword at his waist is poked at the war horse under him.

The war horse was in pain, jumped wildly, and smashed towards the gap.

The momentum of the war horse under the charge of hundreds of catties at full speed was like a small van, and it killed a piece of Takeda sergeant in one fell swoop.

And the result of the Shibata Army's horseback samurai, who rode a war horse into battle, was also pierced by several upward bamboo spears.

But there were only a few people who didn't want to die like this, and the Shibata Army horseback samurai who finished projecting their spears were more trying to penetrate through the gap between the two phalanxes, and their purpose was to rush to the back of the formation and slash and kill the Takeda Army's iron artillery team.

However, when these mounted samurai were about to march, they were sometimes stabbed by the spear phalanx on both sides of the Takeda army, and often the spears of several bars came diagonally, and the cavalry was directly killed and fell off their horses.

However, there were still many people rushing through, but these people were too early to rejoice, and they were ambushed by the reserves of the Takeda Army behind the phalanx of spears.

At this time, the front phalanx of the Takeda Army was not good, and under the battle horse team of the Shibata Army, under such a method of spear shooting, the three spear phalanxes in the center of the Takeda Army were all heavy losses.

Halfway through the battle, the right-wing phalanx finally couldn't bear the casualties and finally collapsed.

A large area of the Takeda Army's spears and spears all abandoned their positions to hold on to the gun array and fled backwards.

This was a turning point for the Shibata army, and even Shibata Katsuie, who had been distressed about the heavy casualties of the horseback team on the mountain, couldn't help but wave his fist.

Shibata Katsuya was all excited, and said loudly: "Finally broke through the Takeda Army's spear phalanx." ”

Not only Shibata Katsuya, but also the side under his command was relieved for a long time, if even the cavalry team could not break through the Takeda military formation, then there was no need to fight the battle of the Takeda army in the future, and when he saw Li Xiaoqi, he surrendered directly.

Although Shibata Katsuya didn't know the details of the Western Phalanx, he also knew that as long as such a linear phalanx was broken at one point, the whole line would be broken.

Shibata Katsuya waved the match, shouted the order, and said: "All the samurai of the Oda family, the victory or defeat is here, I order Kanamori to approach and worship the two teams of the Yakieka to attack along this gap, and you and I, Shibata, lead the banner army out of battle, and go down the mountain to enter the general attack on the Takeda army. ”

Shibata Katsuya said murderously, and the Shibata army approached and raised his guns and shouted together with the flag army.

The earth-shattering sound of killing sounded in the main camp of the Shibata army, and at this time, Shibata Katsuie, including his subordinates, was determined to win.

Indeed, the collapse of the Takeda military formation really lifted the spirits of the Shibata army, which had been fighting hard for a long time.

The rest of the cavalry cavalry warriors, who did not need to listen to any orders at this time, also knew how to act, they all raised their swords in their hands, charged towards the defeated phalanx of the Takeda army, and slashed and slashed after the rout of the Takeda army.

The Takeda Army, which lost its phalanx, routed its troops and had no power to resist at all, and was brandished with a sword by the Shibata Army cavalry team, slashing and killing all the way, and suddenly the corpses were all over the ground, and the heads rolled to the ground.

On the side, the general Fujido Takatora of Kamioka Bei formed a gun array to come to the rescue, but he couldn't stop it at all, like a torrent pouring into the Shibata Army cavalry team.

Just when the front of the Takeda Army was about to collapse, on the flank of the Shibata Army's cavalry team, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

"It's the lord!"

I don't know which one of the Takeda Army shouted in the chaos.

The flags of the sun and the moon are overlapped and fluttered.

"It's the lord who has gone into battle himself!"

Almost in an instant, the soldiers of the Takeda Army, who had fallen into despair, all saw the Takeda Army's horseback team, as the general Li Xiao, straddled the black forging and personally carried a gun into battle.

He led the Takeda Army to ride and prepare for the attack at a critical moment, intercepting the flank of the Shibata Army's cavalry.

For a while, the morale of the Takeda army was greatly boosted
