Chapter Twenty-Three: Despair Is Relative
Occupying the artillery position, the female tiger saw the artillery of the Nobunaga army, patted these good things with her hand, and felt a lot of emotion for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Such a militaristic weapon, I didn't expect that big fool to dare to put it in front of the military formation......"
"As the lord said, the Nobunaga army doesn't know how to use such a sharp weapon, and we can use the things of the Nobunaga army to directly hit them, you see?"
"Well, let's do it."
Having been familiar with artillery manipulation for a while, and with the help of many captives, the ashigaru of the Uesugi army took over the cavalry work and began to reload.
Although the Nobunaga captives did not dare to talk nonsense and would not try to escape, it was still very simple to get a little action after months of training and ideological training.
In fact, gun control has never been so simple, even for old front-loading guns, you need a lot of training to be proficient in handling.
If you let a layman play, you may still be able to shoot a few shots at first, but the problem is in the loading, cleaning and other aspects!
The captives would not tell the Uesugi army about these points, and instructed the ashigaru to take off their shirts and run back and forth between the artillery and ammunition trucks shirtless, loading shells into the chambers.
The inexperienced Ashigaru was so focused on firing the cannon and the charge that he didn't cover his ears and open his mouth, nor did he care about the smoke in the air.
I can't see anything now, and after a few minutes, many people can't hear or hear, and the choking gas inhaled in their lungs is rapidly corroding their bodies.
Not surprisingly, after this battle, many of the Uesugi army Ashigaru will become disabled, unable to hear and have problems with their hearts, which is really desolate......
Nobunaga's army did not have such sequelae, but in the face of twenty artillery attacks, the infantry in the front line was obviously not advancing effectively.
No one can be calm, and the flesh and blood are flying all over the sky, which really makes these Dongying soldiers afraid.
"My lord! There is still no way to advance on the front line, and the Kenshin Army seized our artillery, which is really powerless for the Ashigaru! ”
"Rubbish! Isn't the windforest volcano ready yet? ”
"It's ready, but ...... The ashigaru blocked their line of charge......"
"Damn it!"
Amid the rumbling cannons, the high-spirited soldiers of the Uesugi Army shouted in unison, as if all the enemies were about to be leveled in front of them like fallen leaves before a strong wind.
Nobunaga's army, which had been prepared several times in succession, was defeated, and the soldiers under the banner of the lark were full of momentum, and they were really looking forward to the prospect of this battle.
They were proud of this qualification, and after responding to the call of the lord, these soldiers crossed the rugged mountain road to the battle site west of the Sanhe River.
Whether on land, at sea, or in the sky, they were the most hated opponents of Nobunaga's army, and they always won brilliant victories in battle after battle.
Now the enemy's formed forces will also be destroyed at their hands, and then they will have to completely conquer this vast and rich land---- at least so in their hearts.
When the Uesugi army was all thrown into battle, the Nobunaga infantry and the wind volcano, who had recaptured the artillery, finally had no chance, the former retreated in all directions, and the latter had to make a new detour to prepare for the attack.
In the process, the left and right flanks repeatedly tried to launch counterattacks against the lost, but due to the loss of contact between the two sides, they could not coordinate and were never able to break through the enemy's defenses.
Nobunaga, who was in the middle of the battle, saw the situation on the battlefield, and the enemy suppressed the relatively large Nobunaga army on the frontal battlefield, and Ashigaru suffered heavy losses and only one-third of the original troops remained.
It seems that in the second half of the Battle of Sanhechuan this time, Nobunaga's army is going to lose.
"My lord! It's too dangerous at this time, so let the cavalry charge quickly! ”
Nobunaga shook his head, pointed the telescope in the direction of the Skylark Banner, and immediately rejected the general's proposal, "The cavalry has no chance, the Kenshin army only needs to hold the two wings firmly, there is not enough distance, how can the charge be effective?" ”
"Then we can't sit still, we still have Fangshi and witches, we can't just lose like this!?"
"Then you still think about how to deal with the more number of demon ninjas, if you lose, you lose, will I Oda Nobunaga still not be able to lose!?"
Although Nobunaga's words sound good, none of the heroes can't afford to lose, the problem is that this army is really annihilated here, and the hegemony of the Oda family seems to be over!
"I can't tell you if you lose to that tigress this time......"
The Iron Artillery Corps is still helping the front-line troops to stabilize their positions, and as another trump card in Nobunaga's hands, their strength is fully worthy of the expectations of the lord.
But with only 3,000 men, the quality and firing speed of the iron cannons were so unsatisfactory that now two-thirds of Ashigaru had no ammunition or the iron cannons were blown up!
Several times in a row they repelled the counterattacks of both flanks of Nobunaga's army, and after a short rest, a part of the cavalry of the Uesugi army began to make a detour to prepare for the attack.
More ashigaru, under the orders of the generals, lined up a little further from the battle line, ready to launch a new round of attacks and break through the enemy's central line in one go.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the place in the distance, the female tiger examined the current situation of the troops with great ambition.
As a result, they found that the situation was quite good, and most of the ashigaru were a little tired, but the joy of victory made them all elated and energetic.
Every time the lord and her escort walked past the soldiers, they would erupt in bursts of enthusiastic cheers, as if victory had already been reached, and they were about to cut down the banner of the Great Fool and establish the new Toei shogunate.
"My lord, the front line is advancing very well, are we starting to prepare for a general attack?"
"Hmm...... Blow the horn, it's time for Nobunaga to understand that the might of the Uesugi army is invincible! ”
"Hey!"
The drums of war were beaten, the trumpets were sounded in unison, and Kenshin Uesugi drew her famous sword, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and the ashigaru blew their horns and gave the order for a general attack.
Clusters of orange-red flames then rose from the muzzles of Hessesen's guns, and choking smoke filled the battlefield.
The red fireball fell like a violent meteor shower in the middle of Nobunaga's army's position, allowing more Ashigaru to understand what hell of blood and fire is.
The artillery of the Uesugi Army, which was in full swing, kept firing their guns, but the prisoners did not know when, and they were already far away from the artillery positions.
These unreliable guys, who were considered to have the potential to cause adverse effects, decided to throw them into the back team first so as not to get into trouble.
The captives were 100% obedient, and they even couldn't wait to go to the rear, which made the Uesugi army a little puzzled, but they didn't bother to pay attention to it.
By the time these semi-professionals left, none of the entire artillery positions knew how to properly handle the artillery, and as time went on, the artillery's heat, cracks, and ammunition debris increased.
Even professional Breton artillerymen did not dare to use their guns in this way, and the overwhelmed artillery was naturally exploded in pieces when everyone did not expect it.
