So Gao Xianda began to receive training from Takeda Shinto. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have to say that as a generation of daimyo who made the Takeda family rise, Takeda Shinhu did have two hits. Although he had a reputation for tyranny, most of it was slandered by his sons and retainers in order to stabilize the law and order in the territory.

The Takeda family was also a small daimyo at the beginning, and when Takeda Shintora was in power, he annexed many surrounding forces, and only then did he have the current pattern of the Takeda family. And the world-famous cavalry team of the Takeda family was also formed by him. This can be seen in Takeda's equestrian skills.

Gao Xianda's riding skills cannot be said to be completely inadequate. The main thing is that he has always used horses as a means of transportation, and the main purpose of his horseback riding is to use it for long walks. And the battle is generally solved under the horse, so his riding style is naturally how comfortable and how to come. Not to mention sitting in the saddle, he wanted to lie down.

But in Takeda's view, this style of riding is not suitable for combat. The so-called cavalry naturally had to fight on horseback, and with the momentum of the horse, it caused great damage to the opponent. If you dismount and fight, what is the difference between it and ordinary infantry?

If you want to fight from a horse, then you must not "sit" on the saddle. Be sure to kick up your legs and use the strength of your legs to connect yourself to the horse. Transfer all the power of the horses to the tip of the spear.

As he spoke, he instructed Gao Xianda and let Gao Xianda experience it himself. Gao Xianda's equestrian skills were not bad, and he was also talented, and he quickly mastered this way of clamping the saddle with his legs and stepping on the stirrups with both feet.

Takeda Shintora was very satisfied with the rapid progress of Gao Xianda, and then began to guide Gao Xianda in further immediate skills.

Because to fight on horseback, whether it is to draw a bow or use a spear, both hands are actually occupied. So the cavalry did not have a free hand to grasp the reins to control the direction. The two legs of the cavalry should not only be able to support the body, but also be able to control the direction of the horse.

It's much harder than just holding on. At this time, the two legs need to be combined with the virtual and the real, constantly adjusting the center of gravity, and using the change of the center of gravity to make the horse understand his intentions.

This training is much more difficult, but fortunately, the strength of the company is very strong, and the ability to control its muscles is also strong. So it was another hard exercise, and Gao Xianda's legs now seem to have grown on a horse. He asked the horse to go to the left, and the horse went to the left, and let it go to the right and to the right.

Only then did Gao Xianda realize what it means to be one. His previous so-called "integration of people and horses" was simply a small trick to increase speed.

It wasn't until Kosenda mastered this method of horseback riding that Takeda Shintora began to teach Koxianda marksmanship.

However, Gao Xianda does not have the skills of a spear, nor does he have any foundation in marksmanship, and has zero experience in long weapons. In his opinion, the so-called spearmanship is nothing more than stabbing the opponent with a pole.

But in fact, this most superficial poke is full of university questions. How to stab, what angle to stab, how hard to stab, and what part of the opponent to stab, are all knowledge. But there is only one purpose, that is, to be able to stab the opponent's vital point.

Not to mention using a gun on a horse, even on land, Coxenda will not either.

Takeda Shintora had to start with the way infantry used guns.

Gao Xianda had a martial arts competition with Okabe Yuanxin before, and Okabe Yuanxin's marksmanship was already very exquisite, but Gao Xianda bullied him and didn't hurt himself, and every time he stepped on the gossip step and rushed up.

Okabe Motoshin respects Gao Xianda as the son of the lord, so he doesn't dare to really stab the gun forward, so he can always be blocked by Gao Xianda's spear tip. So the duel between Gao Xianda and Okabe Motonobu has always been victorious.

But Takeda Shintora's marksmanship is even better than that of Motonobu Okabe. And Takeda Shintora said that he would not stab Gao Xianda hard, as long as the tip of the gun touched the other party, it would be considered a win.

But when it comes to the duel, it's not like this, the rod that Gao Xianda stabbed out can always be easily blocked by Takeda Shinhu, and then Takeda Shinhu can easily break through Gao Xianda's defense with a press or a pick, and then Zhonggong goes straight forward and stabs his body.

Moreover, Takeda Xinhu knew that Gao Xianda was strong and did not lose, and he was not afraid of stabbing Gao Xianda at all. Every time he shot, the gun was full of dark energy, and it was always powerful when it fell on Gao Xianda. Although the stab does not hurt Gao Xianda, it is also very painful to stab too many times. I don't know if he was avenging Gao Xianda for knocking him off his horse.

And this is only a competition on land, although Gao Xianda does not know marksmanship, but his Bagua steps are quite flexible. Even so, he still couldn't dodge Takeda Shintora's stabbing blow. If he is on the horse, his control over the horses is far less agile than now, then when the two armies face each other, he will be a live target.

And Takeda Shintora said that although he is good at riding, he is not a master of spearmanship. If Gao Xianda uses this kind of spear skills, I am afraid that he will suffer a loss when he fights with real guns.

If Takeda Shinhu began to train Gao Xianda since he was a child, with his ability, he is confident that he can train Gao Xianda into a master with excellent spear skills and riding skills. However, the time for Imagawa Yoshimoto to entrust him was relatively urgent, and seeing that he was going to send troops to Shangluo next month, it was too late to start cultivating Gao Xianda from the foundation.

The reason why Imagawa Yoshimoto was able to pull down his face and beg Takeda Shintora to cultivate Gao Xianda was not so that his son could have more self-protection skills in battle?

Takeda Shinhu saw that Gao Xianda had a good strength, and he couldn't stab him with a bamboo pole. He must also be a military general who can charge into battle. But if his riding skills and spear skills are not up to par, he may not be so lucky when facing real guns.

Therefore, Takeda Shinhu also had some difficulties, and in the next few days, in addition to continuing to let Gao Xianda practice marksmanship, he was more about telling him how to lead the cavalry to fight.

For example, don't fight the opposing infantry head-on. The strength of cavalry lies in mobility and impact, and it is a disadvantage to use all their strength to attack the enemy's infantry with spears in front of them.

Horses and riders are very valuable resources, even if you exchange 1 for 3 with the opponent's infantry, it is a loss-making transaction.

Be sure to use your maneuver to go around the enemy's flank or rear, mainly to harass them or surprise enemy archers.

He taught Gao Xianda these things, completely hoping that Gao Xianda would be able to use more brains in battle, instead of blindly brute force.

But Gao Xianda was a little unimpressed by this.
