At 6:30 a.m., the vanguard of the Uesugi Army discovered the trail of the Takeda Army.

At this time, the two armies, totaling 20,000 people, had arrived at the Yawatahara battlefield.

"Uchizosuke-sama, the enemy's spear is found in front of you."

A samurai on horseback finally found Sasa Narumasa and bowed down to report.

"Can you see the flag?"

"I can't tell the difference, I can only see that the enemy is using three spears."

"Got it...... Get ready for battle! ”

"Hay!"

Sasa Narumasa frowned, but he didn't expect that as soon as he met the enemy, he would encounter the regular army of the Takeda family.

The so-called three-room gun is a bamboo gun with a length of three or three and a half rooms (5.4 meters to 6.3 meters).

During the Warring States Period, the weapon of the naginata was gradually phased out, and the daimyo of various countries successively formed spear teams, and the spears used became longer and longer.

When the three guns were developed, the norms for the use of "guns" also changed. In the past, spears were mostly stabbed, but the three guns were too long, and the bamboo body was not hard enough and elastic, so the usual method of using the three guns was to "shoot from top to bottom".

The Uesugi family's horseback samurai and Sasa Narimasa's rose knight are the elite of the elite, and Seimasa doesn't want them to be shot to death by three guns.

However, the length of the three guns has put an end to the way for the cavalry to engage in a head-on fight with them, and to defeat this pike, it is necessary to use medium and long-range strikes.

Do you want to use iron guns?

Sazuo Chengzheng immediately shook his head, the iron artillery team is still very useful, and it can't be wasted on the spear team at this time.

While Chengzheng was worried about it, the generals of the Takeda Army on the opposite side were proud of this spear team.

The general of this spear team is Takeda Harunobu's in-law Anayama Nobuyo.

The Anayama clan has lived in Hanoi for generations, and is a powerful country in the Kai country, so the Anayama family naturally became the object of Takeda Harunobu's court, and not long ago, Harunobu's daughter married Nobuyo's son, Anayama Nobuyo, and the Anayama clan also joined the ranks of the Takeda family.

As a celebrity of Kai, Nobuyo Anayama is not known for his horseback riding team, but for their pikes that the Anayama clan is truly proud of.

As one of the first reserves of the Takeda family to be equipped with three guns, Nobuyo Anayama was quite confident that if he attacked the enemy, he would naturally not be as aggressive as the Red Reserve Army, but if it was defensive and unmoving, no one seemed to be able to withstand him.

Therefore, after hearing the sound of the cavalry on the opposite side, Anayama Nobutomo immediately ordered the ashigaru men to line up and prepare to meet the enemy, if the other party fought bravely and attacked the enemy, presumably his own three spears would be able to leave all the Echigo horse warriors here, if the other party was afraid to step forward...... That's not bad, at the very least, the Cave Mountain Army, which relied on three spears for defensive operations, has long been invincible.

Anayama Nobuyo was full of ambition, but he felt that the world-famous Echigo horseback team was no different, and when it was dark, he felt a stronger and stronger vibration.

Masaka ...... The Echigo cavalry actually charged?

"All ready for battle! Hold on to your gun! ”

He shouted loudly and hid in the middle of a group of guards, distancing himself from the gunners in the front row.

The rumbling thunder became louder and louder, and thousands of horses' hooves struck the ground at the same time, like a huge war drum beating in the hearts of the faithful, which made his heart agitate and he could not help but have a pride in all directions.

However, the beautiful is illusory, and the real is painful.

The sound of horses' hooves was extremely loud, and the nerves of the ashigaru were also crumbled to the extreme, and at this moment, there was a sound of cracking the air in the dense fog, and a spear suddenly jumped out of the dense fog and pierced into the body of the ashigaru.

Nobuyo was horrified when he saw his own ashigaru falling to the ground in the back, and when the guards brought the weapons of the Uesugi army to him, Nobuyo realized that the Uesugi army was throwing guns!

Throwing guns is rare, because of the lack of iron ore, so many times Ashigaru is using bamboo guns, not to mention throwing guns with iron heads.

But Anayama Nobutomo knew it entirely because the Echigo Horse Riding Team had become famous all over the world.

As the name suggests, the formation resembles a rolling, deformed wheel, and some of the mounted samurai will use throwing spears to destroy the enemy's ashigaru formation, and then use their horse guns to rush into the ashigaru formation, causing great damage.

Although the attack range of the spear is much shorter than that of the bow and arrow, the power is not the same.

It's a pity that Nobutomo knew about Uesugi Army's throwing guns, but he couldn't change anything.

One by one, the spears pierced the air through the dense fog and pierced into the bodies of the ashigarus, knocking the three gun formations that had just formed into a stagger.

"Don't panic! The number of enemy throwing guns is small, hold on and you will win! ”

The faithful shouted as they surrounded the guards.

He was right, because in the past, the number of throwing guns used by the Echigo cavalry was not very large.

But today is an exception.

With the natural barrier of dense fog, bows and arrows that were not very lethal in the first place could not be aimed at at them, and when the samurai on horseback used throwing spears to attack, the three gun formations were densely arranged and the ashigaru was very close to each other, so it was enough to cause a lot of damage without aiming.

The miserable howls of Ashigaru continued to sound around him, and the spears of the Echigo cavalry seemed to be endless, and although Nobutomo Anayama struggled to maintain morale, no matter how well-trained the agricultural soldier Ashigaru was, he was still a peasant soldier, and he could never be as disciplined as the standing samurai.

After only a few concentrated throws, the three gun arrays he was proud of collapsed!

"I can't stand it!"

"I don't want to die......"

…… The ashigaru threw down their heavy guns and turned around and ran, while the clever ones pulled out the Uesugi guns' throwing guns from the ground or corpses as weapons for self-defense.

Nobuyo Anayama sighed hatefully, gritted his teeth, and waved his little hand-

He also started to run, but he had guards to help clear the way, and the speed was so much faster than the average ashigaru.

A loss is a loss, which is about the difference between fifty and a hundred steps, but fortunately, there is a thick fog at this time, and he does not have to worry about being discovered by the enemy.

"Stop! One step further, and I'll kill you all! ”

Just thinking that he wouldn't be discovered, he was intercepted, and Anayama Nobuyo's heart was congested......

The heart is stuffed, and the believer immediately pulls out the sword and prepares to face it.

Then he saw a devil emerge from the fog!

The samurai who blocked the way was equipped with six swords at his waist, wore a crescent-shaped headband, and was blind in one eye and blindfolded.

What was really strange was not his six swords, but that although he had six knives, he was holding a short musket in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole was particularly dark and terrifying in the white hazy mist.

Realizing that he might be killed by a single shot, Anayama Nobuyo felt cold all over his body and couldn't help but shiver.
