Chapter 55: Three Guns

Drink!

With the sound of the wooden knife, the two figures suddenly separated, and one of them fell out.

"What, Shangquan Xiuyin was actually defeated?"

In full view of the Hojo family generals, Umiizumi Hideyin was undoubtedly defeated at the hands of Shioka Kazuha. The generals of the Hojo family didn't know the name of Shioka Kazuha, and they only felt that the other party didn't seem to have anything extraordinary, but when he fought with Kamiizumi Hideyin, his knife skills were exquisite, and the speed between the knives was incredible.

Shigang Yiyu defeated Shangquan Xiuyin, could it be that Li Xiao from the Ming Kingdom was even stronger than his subordinates. And it seems that Li Xiao is just an ashigaru general, that is to say, the defeated Kamiizumi Hideyin is at most just an ordinary samurai, the position of the head of the ashigaru group.

Thinking of the defeated Tsuchiya Shoji, Mieda Shoutomo, Kohata Tokisada, and Kiso Yoshimasa are all generals and ashigaru generals. The Hojo family began to doubt the hierarchy of the Takeda family, could it be that a head of the Ashigaru group was a master of a higher level than the Ashigaru Shogun and the Shogun, and there were all kinds of speculations and doubts attached to it.

Until the moment of defeat, Shangquan Xiuyin couldn't believe this result, he couldn't even win against Li Xiao's subordinates, let alone challenge himself.

Kamiizumi Hideyin knelt and crawled on the ground, and his right shoulder was injured by a wooden knife from Shigang during the competition, and now he is unable to move.

How could this person who claimed to be Li Xiao have such powerful subordinates? Shangquan Xiuyin raised her head and glanced at Li Xiao, who was sitting safely.

Li Xiao stood up at this moment, motioned for Shigang Yiyu to retreat, and then stretched out his hand and pointed: "Dihuang Hachiman, now I can fight with you, right?" ”

Although some people often refer to Hojo Tsunashi as the name of Rehmannia Hachiman, it is all a private title, and Li Xiao said it in such a public, which is somewhat unkind.

Hojo Tsunashi also walked to the spot, faced Li Xiao, and said: "Your subordinates' swordsmanship is very fast with each sword, and the movements will never be muddy and watery. It seems that it should be a fusion of Katori Shinto and Kashima Shindang, the length of the two genres. ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, noncommittal, and secretly admired Hojo Tsunari's eyesight in his heart.

Hojo Tsunashi stared at Li Xiao and said, "If you can have the same strength as your subordinates, you are indeed qualified to fight me, don't let me down." ”

After saying that, he ordered someone to get his own spear, and Hojo Tsunari's spear was a horse spear used in horse warfare, and it was about two rooms long.

But what Li Xiao ordered people to bring was the three guns that the Takeda family gun Ashigaru used to.

At that time, there were two kinds of guns used by Honashigaru, one was a long-handled gun, such as the Sanma gun, such as the Oda family, the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, and the Tokugawa family, all of whom were equipped with guns with such long handles, and the other was a short-handled gun, that is, a gun with a length of two to three meters.

Generally speaking, the Sanma gun is always used by the ashigaru, because it is difficult for the temporarily recruited peasant soldiers to use the long-handled Sanma gun. When standing ashigaru uses the three spears, they are mainly used as a gun array, and the dense three-room spear formation is very powerful in terms of both the attack surname when advancing and the defensive surname when holding on.

Therefore, according to the traditional Sengoku style of fighting, it is rare for a samurai to use this kind of Sanken gun.

This is because when a samurai fights, they don't line up in a gun formation with a low-level gunashigaru. On the battlefield, they mainly served as the head of the ashigaru group, commanding the ashigaru soldiers, or looking for the opposing samurai, and fighting on horseback.

The samurai generally usually exercised their personal combat skills, so the main weapons of the samurai on foot or on horseback were mainly relatively dexterous swords, fighting knives, or naginatas and short-handled swords.

On the other hand, if a samurai uses a gun as a weapon, it is easy to fight in individual battles, because the handle of the gun is too long, it is inconvenient to move and swing, and the physical strength will be greatly reduced after using it for a long time.

After Li Xiao took the three guns from Takeda Ieashikageu, he first pulled out the scabbard, and then disassembled the sharp blade of the gun head as well. After deducting the head of the spear, the spear was still close to the length of the three rooms.

Li Xiao picked up the spear first and tried his hand.

I saw that between Li Xiao's waves, the momentum was very terrifying, and the spurs were like lightning flashes, and the strong wind thrown out of the spear head when he shook it made the faces of those who approached hurt, and those Hojo family generals who usually claimed to be self-assured, and the arrows were in front of them, and the Hojo family generals who were not eye-catching, couldn't help but leave their seats at this moment and retreated backwards.

Indeed, after Li Xiao picked up the three guns, his attack range suddenly expanded, and the original arena of the competition was much smaller. The generals of the Takeda family and the Hojo family, who were originally sitting opposite each other, had to retreat a few meters before vacating the space to accommodate Li Xiao's use of this big gun.

Compared with most people in this era, the three guns are not a problem at all for Li Xiao, a modern person with long arms and full of physical strength, and the dance is not a problem at all, such as the arm and fingers, and he is at ease.

Seeing that Li Xiao was so powerful, Hojo Tsunashi naturally had a solemn face, although he also used a gun, but the length was shorter than that of the other party, and it was faster than the length of one room. In other words, when the two of them tested their marksmanship, Li Xiao's big gun was able to attack him first, and Hojo Tsuna was at a disadvantage in terms of weapons.

After swinging, Li Xiao slammed the big gun in his hand to the ground, and the three guns were still relatively handy. However, the big guns used by Li Xiaoping are not so long, such as the one used in the duel with Shigang Yiyu before, but the two are a little longer.

The reason is that Shioka Kazuha uses a katana, as long as he is attacked into the gun circle, he will die faster by using a longer big spear against him.

According to different opponents, choose the weapon that suits you and targets the opponent, which is also the 'art of war' that is often mentioned by this sword master in this era.

Let's take Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro's Yanliudao duel as an example.

At that time, Sasaki Kojiro's swordsmanship was like Zhongtian, and when he was a young warrior in Zhou Fangguo, he once cut down a swallow flying in the air. Kojiro Sasaki's trick of turning this swallow into two, called "Swallow Return", is his own unique skill.

And Sasaki Kojiro usually uses the famous knife 'Monogan Blanching', also known as 'Bizen Naga Captain Hikari', which is three feet two inches long. The sword is long, so the attack range is large, and Sasaki Kojiro's stunt 'Swallow Return' can be used to take advantage of the long knife and play it to the fullest.

And Miyamoto Musashi, who went to Yanliu Island to challenge, gave up the famous two-sword-ryu swordsmanship, and used the boater's oars to temporarily sharpen a wooden sword four feet and two inches long, which was one foot longer than the 'Monogan Blanching', and defeated Sasaki Kojiro in a battle with this wooden sword.

It is said that at that time, the battle was only a one-time decision, and Sasaki Kojiro didn't even use the proud skill 'Swallow Return'.

Now the generals of the Takeda family and the Hojo family are all watching with bated breath, and Li Xiao and Hojo Tsunashi are about to start a spear competition.
