Chapter 21: Pit Goods!!
In the end, it took a whole night for the Thunderbolt team to fiddle with the artillery, and it was Nobunaga who sent a squadron-sized Ashigaru to help that barely completed the position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"My lord! The Thunderbolts reported that they were ready to open fire. β
"Rubbish! What time is it now! It's almost dawn! β
"This ...... I'm so sorry, please punish them! β
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, let's see how it goes. β
Nobunaga was indeed angry, but these Thunderbolt artillery were bought from the Brittan Expeditionary Force for money.
You can't just throw away these militaristic weapons because of the slow motion of your subordinates, right?
When Dongying was accompanied by a bunch of guards and generals, he looked condescendingly at the artillery position in the distance, and it was just dawn at this time.
With the help of binoculars, they could barely see the extremely powerful position, the majestic posture of the king of the battlefield raised high, and the fairly neat Thunderbolt team Ashigaru, under the reprimand of foreign instructors, was preparing for the shelling.
"It's great to see the artillery array again...... Is this the power of the Western magic industry? β
"Lord, do you want to order fire now?"
ββ¦β¦ Wait a minute, you have to know how to cooperate with the other soldiers, and tell the ashigaru to get up and eat! Half an hour later, the shelling began! β
"Hey!"
Nobunaga's movements were soon discovered by the Uesugi scouts, and it didn't take long for the tigress to learn about it.
It's a pity that her military advisor is still feverish, and most of the generals around her don't know artillery, so they can't give a little advice, which is really worrying.
"Enough! You incompetent guys, since you are not sure, then show the momentum of the Owari Tiger and get the cavalry ready...... Movement to the flank of Nobunaga's army, and then a wave of assault! β
"But my lord! The enemy is more numerous and longer in number and on a longer line than our army, how can this be detoured to the flanks? β
ββ¦β¦ Then surprise the enemy's strange troops and destroy them directly! β
"Hey!"
In this way, the two armies moved one after another, but without discovering the other party's intentions, they invariably set their targets on the Thunderbolts.
"My lord! When the time comes, do you want to fire now? β
"How are the soldiers prepared?"
"You can attack at any time, but the cavalry is still a little delayed......"
"It's too slow! Make them a little faster! β¦β¦ Forget it, don't wait for them, pass the order, the Thunderbolts attack! β
"My subordinates are going!"
With Nobunaga's orders, the Thunderbolts finally have something to do - it's time to show off the real skills!
"Over there! Go get the shells! β
"Gunpowder! Gunpowder is needed here! β
"Did any of you see the lead? Who can give me one! β
Although he said that he had trained for a period of time and taught these Dongying students by himself, as an instructor of the Thunderbolt team, Edward, a lieutenant of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, was still desperate.
He's had enough of it these days, the inferior quality of Dongying soldiers is not ordinary and uninformed, simply put, they are all hillbillies.
I always like to be lazy, play slippery, and mess around if I don't understand, especially if I am easy to go against the grain!
This kind of soldier is a bit like the sad and hateful soldier in charge of the flower planter in the early twentieth century of the earth age.
It's all a bastard, and they're all looked down upon.
Although any backward country is despised like this, Edward really can't stand it!
At first, he came to work as an instructor, just to see that he could get an extra trophy, and his salary was ten percent higher than that of other units of the expeditionary force.
But if he were to choose again, he would definitely hammer these subordinates to death first, and then commit suicide!
"Master Edward! The brothers are all ready, do you fire the guns? β
ββ¦β¦ Let's shoot, I've taught you anyway, hurry up. β
"Hey! Brothers, it's time to fire! β
With a loud roar, the Dongying artillerymen quickly ignited the artillery, and thenβ
The cannon roared, the solid bullets flew forward, the violent explosion was incessant, and standing on the high place, you could see the panicked people running around after the Uesugi military camp was bombarded.
"Very good! It is worthy of the Thunderbolt team taught by Xiyi, and it can be effective in such a little time...... Wait, why is someone back down there? β
As soon as Nobunaga was about to praise a few words, he saw someone on the side of the artillery team retreating on horseback, and when he looked closely, they were all instructors sent by Britannia!
"Lord, those who retreat are all Xiyi, I think they are scared!"
"That's right, these cowardly barbarians really don't deserve to be called samurai, only our brave warriors deserve it!"
If this had been the case, Nobunaga's army would not have been held back from Edo Castle by a mere 3,000 Saiyi infantry.
"For the sake of the general, do not underestimate the enemy! Since Brittania can defeat us and others, then they have merit, maybe they have discovered some anomaly, right? β
The generals looked at each other, and two of them stood up, "Then my lord, I am willing to lead a head to support." β
Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction, "Then please leave it to the two of you!" β
Just as Nobunaga was making a dispatch on his side, the tigress was about to explode!
"I knew it! That big fool knows how to do all these tricks! The same was true of the Iron Cannon at the beginning, and even more so with the Thunderbolts now! β
"My lord! Please make a quick decision, or the ashigaru people are likely to collapse! β
"I know! Blow the trumpet! Let the cavalry kill all the thunderbolts wherever they are! β
"Hey!"
A long horn sounded, and a minute later, more than a thousand light cavalry rushed out from hiding, and the lark flags fluttering behind them indicated that these were the Uesugi family's troops!
"Cavalry! The cavalry is coming! β
"Master Edward, we ...... What about the master craftsman!? β
Finding that the cavalry was rushing, the artillerymen, of course, had to go to the instructors, but unfortunately the Brittan officers, who were more clever and had telescopes, had long since retreated to a safe position under the pretext of releasing water.
Without the command of the instructor and without hearing the sound of the golden sound of the battalion, the unlucky guys of the artillery could only find out the short sword and bamboo spear and wait for the approaching cavalry.
With these equipment alone, there is absolutely no way to deal with cavalry, and even Breton soldiers armed with rifles must rely on fortifications to fight against cavalry.
So the wave flow is very stable, and it won't take long to kill a bunch of waste wood artillerymen on the face, but it's just ......
"My lord, the enemy army has been completely destroyed!"
ββ¦β¦ Is this a thunderbolt? How do you feel very little? β
"This ...... I don't know. β
The Uesugi cavalry were puzzled as to why there were so few artillery pieces here, only twenty of them, and most of them were front-loading guns.
You know, the cannon fire just now was so amazing, it was like there was a large salvo of artillery.
In fact, it is still the pot of Lorraine, in order to earn more profits, by the way, the obsolete artillery of the fleet ballast was solved, and the waste was directly sold to the Dongying people.
In the Eastern world, where the industrial revolution was not carried out, it was already very difficult to build large-caliber iron cannons by hand, although there was no problem in making artillery, but the range was not to mention.
Twenty artillery pieces were sold to Nobunaga at one time, and an artillery bombardment demonstration was given to the Toei people, which was a great scene.
This waste alone sells for a high price, enough to build a heavy cruiser indigenously!
It's just that Nobunaga regarded it as a weapon of arms, but now it has been captured by the Uesugi army in waves, and in the final analysis, it is because the artillery team has gone forward too much, so that the nearest Toei infantry sequence actually has to run a kilometer to arrive.
These Nobunaga are going to blow up!
