The war in the era of cold weapons, many of which are unimaginable to later generations, such as a horse fight, that is, the so-called military generals heads-up, this kind of behavior is endless, and later generations have a lot of evidence, and then think that it is too nonsense, there is no such thing as a military general single-handedly, in short, everything the ancestors said must be overturned, and it is clear that they don't believe it.

But we opened the history books and carefully thought between the lines, of course, there are generals like Qi Jiguang who are not under the dangerous wall, but there are also generals like Yu Dayou who take the lead with the guys, and even have nothing to do to go to the Shaolin Temple to try their hands with other monks, a stick beat the Shaolin Temple to the back of the horse, and then push it up, like the Southern Song Dynasty wrote [but the king of the world, won the name of the previous life and the afterlife] Xin Qiji, who can pull up a team in the land of the fallen Jin State in the north and fight all the way back to the south, During this period, some of his subordinates defected and took refuge in the Jin Kingdom, and he was able to go back alone to kill people, take the head of the traitor, and then turn back.

In short, the age of cold weapons is full of the magic of individual heroism, but in the same way, there are also countless limitations.

It's like Zheng Chengguan let the morning girl team shoot a burst of muskets, the sound of the muskets at the moment when the dawn is approaching, it is extraordinarily loud, and the sound spreads for miles, in a rough word, it is clear that it is [small sample, don't hide, Lao Tzu has found you], but Takahashi Shaoyun knows that it is impossible for the other party to find them for a while, but he understands this truth, his subordinates don't understand, if he doesn't attack immediately, morale will plummet, and once there is no morale in the era of cold weapons, this battle will not have to be fought.

The other party is equivalent to announcing to his subordinates with an iron cannon that the enemy's sneak attack has been seen through by us, and all conspiracies and tricks are tigers on the screen, and morale will rise sharply, and if he does not attack immediately, morale will plummet, this positive and negative, almost forcing him to go out of the battle, unless, he can calm down and cancel this attack, this is like a cheetah on the grassland slowly approaching the prey, and it was discovered that it was almost impossible to launch an attack at this time, and the military art of war is in the same vein as natural selection in nature, among them, Nomads, in particular, are the most popular, and almost all of them use hunting methods to fight. This is what the ancients regarded as a guideline, some people have never read a military book for a day, but they are indeed born military strategists.

However, Takahashi Shaoyun is a proud guy, he became one of the two walls of Otomo at the age of twenty, and then, the missionaries of the Southern Barbarians thought that he was a rare and famous general, and even passed on his name, not to mention, his eldest son Xiong Zongmao was insulted by the other party like that, how could he swallow this breath.

Therefore, he obviously had a depressed expression on his face as if he had been drenched in the face, but he still launched an attack.

This round of confrontation, in fact, is like playing Go guessing, although he lost the first move, but Takahashi Shaoyun is still confident, with the excellent knights of the Takahashi family, the frontal assault is enough to defeat the other party, he is a believer in the supremacy of cavalry, and the rest of the iron cannon barrel is not in his eyes, even if he and Tachibana Daoxue are called Otomo Shuangbi, he also faintly has a different meaning, so, Xiong Zongmao succeeded to Tachibana's house, he gave Bizen longship Kaneguang to Xiong Zongmao, and told him that if the two families are hostile, And thou shalt use this sword to take the head of the Father.

Those who are not extremely proud will certainly not be able to say these words.

This is the confidence that he knows that he still attacks without the advantage of sneak attack, if it is Thor's father on the other side at this time, he will definitely simply turn around and leave, but on the opposite side is Tachibana Chiyo, a fifteen-year-old girl, fighting this thing, fighting is a bullying the weak, with their own advantages against the contrarian trend of others, this is like Yu Dayou's book of war on water warfare, pay attention to a big ship is better than a small boat, more ships are better than few ships, big guns are better than small guns, more guns are better than few guns.

He slowly pressed forward with a thousand troops, and the horses under his crotch trotted, and the infantry warriors behind were accustomed to this tactic of the lord, and they followed closely behind without saying a word, and when the two hundred cavalry trotted to a certain distance and began to charge, they would also cover up behind.

What is different from what normal people think is that these two hundred cavalry do not use guns, and the cavalry of the East use guns, and they are too particular about equestrianism and spearmanship, once the spear head is stabbed into the human body, if it can't be pulled out instantly, it is likely that the knight himself will fall off the horse, even if the knights of the West at this moment, use the kind of spear that is sandwiched under the armpit to sprint, after a charge, most of the guns will be destroyed, and the knights of this era will generally prepare three to five short guns inserted in the horse belt, After the charge, throw away the spear and shoot it with a short gun loaded with ammunition in advance, throw away one after shooting, and finally pull out the nail hammer to fight, a big battle, basically the weapon will be destroyed by more than half, and Takahashi Shaoyun's men are all equipped with wild swords, which is very similar to the Tachibana family, using long knives, but the name of the wild sword, the length of more than three feet is counted, the true length, the knife of the Tachibana family is longer, and the cavalry of the Takahashi family is not as long as the knife of the Tachibana family in order to facilitate slashing and killing on the horse.

When they reached five hundred paces, the cavalry pulled their swords out of their sheaths, and some of them couldn't help but shout, like this kind of screaming like a mad dog on the battlefield, which is also a kind of spiritual deterrent.

At this distance, the obedient official can already vaguely see the opposite side, at this time, the sky is white, and the Takahashi family is wearing black armor, so it looks black.

Looking at the cavalry on the opposite side, the obedient officer couldn't help but slander, riding a short mule, and also calling himself a cavalryman, no wonder these people under his command dared to use infantry against cavalry, if this was in the Ming Dynasty, a brain would not dare to use infantry and cavalry to confront each other.

However, this is in Fuso, a horse is a few hundred catties, if a person wears a heavier armor and then sits on it, the horse will not move at all, let alone charge, and the people of Kyushu Islands are fierce, and the Tachibana family is famous for using long knives, when he was in the Ryukyus, Ono Zhenyuki used the Tachibana family's shadow stream drawing technique to cut off the head of Princess Otomo Ieyoshi.

In fact, the two families are familiar with each other, often join forces to fight the enemy, there is a saying called Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, for a long time, one thinks that the other party will only use cavalry to kill the back of the butt with a group of mountain farmers carrying bamboo poles, one feels that the other party will only use iron cannons to shoot indiscriminately and then draw a knife to go out to fight pirates, because of the relationship between the two families, although they are not convinced by each other secretly, but the same palace is a minister, there is no chance to give it a try.

Therefore, at this time, the retainers and samurai of the two families are actually very excited, and these two families against the Shimazu, Ryuzoji, Akizuki and other families, in fact, have always been less to more, the Otomo family can support until now, I have to say that it is the credit of these two families, so it has deepened the arrogance of the two families, at this time, there is finally a chance to give it a try, who is more powerful.

This was not uncommon, and later armies, known for their fish-and-water feelings, often broke out with machine guns mounted against friendly troops, just to fight over who should be the first to cross the river.

Takahashi Shaoyun, who was riding on the horse, sneered, waved the military fan in his hand, but the military momentum slowed down, and the good officer couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help but ask Rina next to him, Rina was blushing because he was holding his hand with his backhand, and when he asked, he whispered: "This is Takahashi-sama's consistent style, and he will slow down the military momentum before the battle, which is said to be a kind of coercion to the enemy." ”

As soon as she said this, the obedient official understood, although thousands of troops pressed over, he still felt a little funny, Fuso's horse, with a shoulder height of more than one meter two, is considered a qualified war horse, and a shoulder height of one meter three, that is a famous horse, only people like Oda Nobunaga are qualified to use it.

China's horses are not high, but the qualified war horses according to the history and later archaeological excavations of the armor and riding equipment, to shoulder height of one meter four, of course, after the Song Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty gave the horse breeding land to the ethnic minorities, resulting in the war horse is getting shorter and shorter, and so on in the Southern Song Dynasty, the shoulder height of more than one meter five horses, the generals do not dare to ride, thinking that it is [non-human ministers can ride], which has to be qualified to ride.

Even so, the good official also felt that none of these horses could compare to the little white horse in his own family, and the little white horse in the family was a mare, and the second was not fully grown.

When you really see these horses, you can understand why the samurai of the Tachibana family dare to fight the cavalry with infantry, the good officer really doesn't know where Takahashi Shaoyun's confidence comes from, why can your two hundred cavalry rush our side, do you think you are a European hoplite cavalry, you are covered in plate armor, even the horses are covered in plate armor, and you are wearing carcasses made of bamboo and leather! It's just painted with paint, and it looks good, how can it resist muskets!

He didn't know, just these two hundred cavalry, in Kyushu Island is really invincible, basically under the rush, the enemy's formation will collapse, and then, morale collapsed, the mountains are full of deserters, the infantry behind only need to hold their guns and keep up closely, a winning army, to put it bluntly, victory is better than this kind of self-confidence, which is called the soul of the army in later generations.

In the history of the obedient officials did not cross, Takahashi Shaoyun against the Shimazu family's army of 50,000, six or seven hundred people died, but the Shimazu family died more than 4,000 people, so far there is a huge stone monument standing on the original site of Fuso Iwaya Castle, on which is the site of Iwaya Castle carved in Chinese characters.

It is not surprising that the army that often wins battles has this kind of momentum and self-confidence, and the musketeers at this time are also under pressure from the cavalry, after all, once the cavalry charges, the musketeers will fire at most one shot, and the second shot will not be too late, at this time the morale will collapse, and then form a large rout.

But if the obedient official understands it, it's a little strange, doesn't it mean that in history, the musket team of the Oda family beat the Takeda Koshu cavalry to the head, this Takahashi family's 200 cavalry, riding horses like dwarf mules, why is he!

This is a fixed thinking, even if a good official has become a talent of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thinking has gone deep into the bone marrow.

Therefore, when you really see these horses, the good officials are really not too nervous, no matter what you Takahashi Shaoyun relies on, I believe that your flesh and blood can't resist muskets, unless you also learn from the Jurchen barbarians to wear several layers of armor on your body.

Flesh and blood will definitely not be able to carry the musket, unless the musketeer at this time is an elite, otherwise it is likely that a shot will not be fired, turn around and run, however, the Sakai Girls' Team is also praised by the Portuguese, and the iron cannon elite of the Tachibana family must be stronger than ordinary musketeers, at this time, the good official is very confident in Chiyo and the Sakai Girls' Team.

He was even looking forward to what it would be like when the other side started charging and the Girls started shooting.

It's a pity that, like a very famous line, I expected this beginning, but I didn't expect this ending.

This seems to be the storyteller of the Ming Dynasty talking about Journey to the West, a goblin jumped out to eat Elder Tang, the storyteller described the appearance of the goblin first, saying that this goblin has a green face and red beard, a green indigo face, a fur like indigo, a huge mouth fangs, a mouth like a steel drill, a mouth like a blood basin, a saw tooth like a chisel, a copper plate with teeth, a steel tooth like a nail, a mustache like an arrow, and a blue indigo hand with scorched tendons...... Then, the storyteller said the backstage of the goblin, saying that this goblin was the illegitimate son of a certain immortal in the sky who was in the mortal world back then, and when did the fairy become an immortal, and he had dealings with Sanqing and Siyanjing, and he could also talk to Guanyin Bodhisattva...... In short, it's about the sky, which probably means, our name is Jin Tianyi, and our heavenly father is called King Kong, if you know each other, quickly send your master over to steam it for us to eat.

Then, as soon as the storyteller turned his head, he said that Sun Monkey went up with a stick and beat the goblin who had spent three or four days of saliva to death to the ground.

The direction of Takahashi's house came from the east, as the obedient official said, coming from the east, with a large forest on one side and a river on the other, when Takahashi Shaoyun waved his military fan and his men began to prepare to charge, from the woods on the side crackled a meal of fried bean-like gunshots, the gunfire was dense, and at least a thousand iron gunners could have this momentum.

You know, this terrain is not open, the woods are only fifty steps away from the Takahashi family's army at most, this distance is the most powerful range of the musket, this shot, immediately shot the two hundred knights of the Takahashi family into a sieve eye on the spot, the armor of the carcass, the bow and arrow against Fusang are okay, and the anti-lead bullet is a joke.

For a while, people turned over on their backs, war horses neighed, the smell of gunpowder burning and a large stream of blood poured into the land and then was blown over by the sea breeze mixed with the smell of the sea.

Maybe it's fate, or maybe it's because he was ordered in advance to keep Takahashi-sama's life, in short, there are still a few horses left around Takahashi Shaoyun, but the horses standing alone and snorting constantly seem to be a mockery of Takahashi Shaoyun.

His face turned pale and pale, and there were corpses all around, some of them were not dead, they were still struggling in pools of blood, most of the horses fell to the ground and could not get up, some of the lucky ones bowed their heads to lick their masters' cheeks, and some of them neighed in low voices, and some of the horses scattered and ran away, and as for the infantry warriors who were mixed in with the cavalry, they were not so lucky, these people used spear formations, one squeezed a small tadpole that looked like a dry puddle, the front one was almost dead, and those who were behind were probably lucky, But seeing so many colleagues die on the spot, some of them were not dead or injured, and they screamed and reached out to drag the people they knew, begging him to give them a knife, but these people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to escape.

"Lord Lin Boxuan, it must be you, right?" Takahashi Shaoyun frantically shouted the law name of Thunder God Daddy, and only this seventy-year-old man can be so old and spicy, he still remembers, when he was in the first battle, at that time Thunder God Daddy was also sixty years old, after the battle, the old man said very seriously, for the general, when the dive and the nine earth, move and the nine heavens, this is the Ming Kingdom's Sun Tzu Art of War said, you should take a look at it more, I am old, the Otomo family will rely on young people like you in the future.

Sure enough, it is hidden under the nine places, hiding in the woods, I am afraid that even my daughter will be hidden!

Looking at the corpses around him, Takahashi Shaoyun felt that he had been praised as a rare and famous general for more than ten years, and he had long forgotten the old man's point at the beginning...... In his crazy screaming, a few people walked quickly in the woods, and the front was a simple sedan chair carried by two samurai, and the lower half of the body of Father Thor was paralyzed and not good at walking, and he sat in a sedan chair every time he fought, of course, this sedan chair was different from Fusang's small box sedan chair like a coffin, similar to the sliding pole of the Ming Dynasty, that is, a chair tied to two bamboo poles.

The old man on the sedan chair had a shaved head, a kind face, and even a few longevity eyebrows hanging down at the end of his eyebrows, it was the thunder god father, he followed Otomo Zonglin to become a monk twenty years ago, and the Taoist name was called Lin Boxuan Daoxue.

When he really saw this old-timer, Takahashi Shaoyun first sneered, then laughed wildly, and suddenly asked him, "Lord Lin Boxuan, is this your loyalty to the Otomo family?" ”

It's a pity that the old man didn't speak, just looked at him with some regret in his eyes, and then said slowly: "I will give you the last dignity of a samurai, you can disembowel!" ”

The few remaining samurai around Takahashi Shaoyun were still struggling when they heard this, but Takahashi Shaoyun also figured it out at this time, it had come to this point, this old-timer slapped himself for more than ten years and wiped out the so-called famous general's demeanor, and the samurai of the Takahashi family were almost dead, could he still not die, even if His Royal Highness Zonglin came down, he couldn't protect himself!

After laughing miserably, he said to Father Thor: "Lord Lin Boxuan, before you die, you have a few questions. Tachibana Michiyuki nodded, and he asked: "The art of iron cannons, our Takahashi family also has mastered it, over the years of fighting with the adult coalition army, and I have seen countless times the iron artillery team of the Tachibana family, so many iron gunners have been ambushed, there is no movement, presumably at least the ambush has been all night, why haven't I smelled the burning of the arquebus until now?" ”

Tachibana Michiyuki, who was sitting on the chair, beckoned to the side, and then someone handed him a musket, he took it, and made a few strokes of it very easily, and said: "This is called the rain iron cannon, and there is no need for a fire rope, that is, it has been completely replaced in my family in the past two years, for these iron cannons, I, the old man, have almost sold the robe that I wore with His Royal Highness when I became a monk, and over the years, your fame has become more and more famous, and you have been able to threaten the Ryuzoji family alone, so you don't pay much attention to the behavior of this old man." ”

Hearing this, Takahashi Shaoyun lowered his head gloomily, and suddenly raised his head again, "Lord Lin Boxuan, is it true that you are preparing to learn from Wang Mang of the Ming Kingdom, and you want to destroy decades of loyalty in one fell swoop!" ”

Father Thor smiled when he heard this, his eyebrows trembled twice, and then he slowly called Takahashi Shaoyun's milk name, "Senjumaru, you must know that when the second-order collapse changed, I supported His Highness to become the governor of the family, and worked hard for the Otomo family, and I fought the former country, and I also defeated the Hizen country, and I also defeated it, and I did it all by myself, and I did it all by ......myself."

"Is that the reason for your betrayal?" Takahashi Shaoyun shouted.

Father Thor shook his head and smiled, "I followed His Highness to become a monk twenty years ago, and I understood a truth, people die only a handful of loess, and the countries I have conquered are all His Highness after all, but His Highness has converted to Catholicism over the years, and his life is absurd, of course, this is nothing, His Royal Highness is loyal and can inherit the Otomo family." But, Senjumaru! You young people have a problem, you are too impatient, you know, what I give you is yours, I don't give it to you, you can't reach out and take the ......" The last few words, it was already full of voices, and then, commanding left and right, "Give Takahashi-sama the wrong introduction!" ”

Father Thor has worked hard for the Otomo family, and most of the territory is fought by him, every time people like Maori Motoshi, Kobayakawa Takakei, and Nabeshima Naoshige come over, he also defeats them, and if the Otomo family loses the battle, it is his palace every time.

This is typical of enduring hardships and I am one, happy thousands of families, but in a blink of an eye, ran out of a twenty-year-old guy who has not yet arrived to be known as the Great Friend Shuangbi with him, if he has no resentment at all, then I really have to wonder if he is a Bodhisattva in the world, these ten years, Takahashi Shaoyun is becoming more and more famous, and it will overshadow him, of course, these are not the most critical, the most critical thing is that this old guy has a serious Zongao thought, originally he put Takahashi Shaoyun's eldest son Xiong Zongmao to come over as a son-in-law and adopted son, that is, he had a heart of forbearance, A lifetime of loyalty, is it impossible to betray when you are old, this doesn't make sense! Don't make trouble, the country I fought down is yours in the end.

In history, Father Thunder died in the camp, and the literati of Fusang thought that his death seemed to be the death of Zhuge Wuhou and Wuzhangyuan.

But all this in this trip to the Ryukyu Kingdom, all changed, what has changed does not need to be detailed, in short, Thunder God Daddy knows everything, that is to say, from the moment he learned about it, the Takahashi family and him have a relationship with Yongle Tongbao is gone, and his daughter has become a side room of a noble lord of the Ming Kingdom named Zheng Guofan, does he still have to endure those grievances?

In the simplest words, if you want to move my daughter and son-in-law, then you just won't give me a way to live, is my Toji Thor the kind of person who swallows his anger when he steps on his face? I took down this Otomo's territory, I gave it to you, that's yours, if I don't give it to you, you can't stretch out your hand.

When he was young, he dared to use a knife to scold God on a thunderstorm, although he was old and a monk, it didn't mean that he had no temper.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention, this is the way back to kill people! Peerless, in Eastern culture, this is an unforgivable sin, so he naturally can't bear it anymore and doesn't have to endure it anymore.

There is also a joint here, when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Fusang to pay tribute to the minister, Fusang at that time was the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty Prince Huailiang occupied Kyushu Island, accepted the canonization of Taizu, claimed to be the minister Fusang King so-and-so, and then called the Ming Dynasty tribute, and so on later Fusang Southern and Northern Dynasties ended, the Ming Dynasty's tribute and Kanhe trade were also in the hands of the Daimyo of Kyushu Island.

And as the Otomo family of Kyushu exploration, is qualified to be called the courtier of the Ming Kingdom, this relationship, until the Battle of Wanli Korea, Saruhideyoshi rejected the Wanli Emperor's edict to canonize him as the king of Fuso, and expelled the envoy, from this point of view, the monkey should be proud, because it was he who read Fuso out of the Ming Kingdom, and this edict is preserved in the museum of Fuso so far.

And now, this thunder god father who has not tasted defeat in more than 100 battles in his life is going to hug his son-in-law's thigh, and he is holding a righteous and high-sounding man, you must know that he is an admirer of Ming culture, the person who has turned over the book of "The Art of War", and his words left in history also prove that he writes a beautiful Chinese calligraphy.

He rode a small sedan chair to the side of the obedient official, in fact, the retainers here had seen him early, and this small sedan chair on the battlefield had almost become his symbol, therefore, when he got closer, everyone was prostrate on the ground, and even Chiyo knelt down for his father, and only the obedient official was standing, and for a while, he was embarrassed.

Originally, he was slandering, this is too cheating, Daddy Thor's ambush is really deep, and he hasn't fought yet! At this time, Takahashi's family was dead, and at this time, Takahashi Shaoyun in the distance was escorted to kneel by the river, and his mouth occupied a desperate poem, saying: The surging red dust has no eternal life, and the door moss ditch water covers my name.

At the end, the knife flashed behind him, and a head rolled into the river.

Looking at the guy who was patted by the missionary and thought he was a rare famous general, the good official couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and when the sedan chair of the thunder god arrived, he became more and more embarrassed, this kneeling is not, not kneeling is not, it is really fatal.

The sedan chair fell, and the thunder god father let him get down from the chair left and right, and then, he saw that the undefeated Toji thunder god respectfully prostrate on the ground, and pressed his hands to the ground and made a big salute, "Minister, Danhou guards the snow and knocks to see the angel of the kingdom." ”

To use a very fashionable phrase, Zheng Chengguan was immediately scorched by thunder.

At this time, the sky was completely white, a ray of sunlight began to shine, and in the distance were corpses all over the ground, and around the obedient official, the people who knelt in a circle, including the thunder god father, who was still his nominal father-in-law, stood in the middle of the obedient official wearing a smaller plate armor, carrying a sword around his waist, and the plate armor reflected in the sun, as if a god was being worshipped, although the god's little face was a little pale.

(To be continued)
