Chapter 40: Which is stronger?

These words are very hurtful, not conducive to the harmony of the headquarters, in addition to the samurai of Kai's own country to laugh and laugh, the people who came to the Takeda family, and even the Yashiro Masakuni, who was afraid of the war just now, are all unhappy, and a few violent temperaments immediately got up and scolded him, Fujido Tiger changed hands in the second year of high school, is it so much better for them?

Only Sanada Yutaka, who first attached to Kaino, and then abandoned Nagano, Sancong Takeda's 'attack bomb Zheng' always looked as usual, and whispered to Yamamoto Haruki beside him.

The two talked and laughed happily, it seemed that this was a military discussion, and it had nothing to do with their own family, Sanada Yutaka just came to support, Yamamoto Haryuki was a military eye, and this kind of scene was not stopped, it was really extremely intriguing.

Nobushige Oyamada didn't have time to think about it, and when he saw that two samurai had already begun to push and scuffle, he couldn't help but be furious and shouted, "Silence, how can the soldiers and others in the military council be wantonly noisy!" "As the main general, how can he allow his generals to provoke each other in front of him.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be angry, the two of them were busy withdrawing their hands and kneeling down to plead guilty.

Nobushige Oyamada said: "Please pay the conviction and punishment of the military eye!" ”

Yamamoto Haruyuki's eyes were like knives, and he went back and forth around the necks of the two, and finally said: "The noisy military discussion should not be forgiven according to the law!" ”

"Come on, drag it down and cut it down!"

A group of flags guarding outside the big tent immediately rushed in, pressed the two people who wanted to defend their resistance to the ground, plugged them with rags, and dragged them down.

After a while, an executioner held a tray and sent a bloody head, and Oyamada Nobushige waved his hand and ordered: "Take it for me to see, hang it on the flagpole, and inform the three armies that if there is anyone who does not respect military orders, if there is such a thing!" ”

The generals were silent and retreated back to their original positions, not daring to act recklessly.

Koyamada Nobushige snorted coldly, and then frowned again and said: "What Gensuke said is loyal and righteous, but Wu Yue's strong soldiers have been elite since ancient times, and Shimazaki Hachiro Ueno is a sword hero, and he is very brave, and our army has been attacking for days, but he has not been able to overcome it because of this." ”

The predecessor of Hokuriku Province is Gu Zhi Country, and the pronunciation of 'Gu Zhi' is similar to the word 'Yue' in the Han book, so it is also called 'Gu Yue Country', and later split many times, and has successively precipitated out the country of the front, middle and rear three Yue and Noto and Kaga, among which Noto is also called 'Wu Wai'.

Shocked by the change, all the generals were shocked, only Fujitang Tiger stood with his head held high, and asked for battle against the three people on the main throne, such as Koyamada Nobushige, Sanada Yutaka, and Yamamoto Haruki: "Although Tiger Gao is cowardly, he dares to fight with Yue'er for tomorrow!" He was born with a burly body, and everyone sat and watched at the moment, and suddenly felt that his abyss and mountains were like a high mountain.

In the fierce battle with the Vietnamese army in the past two days, Fujitang Tiger Gao killed a lot of enemies, and Oyamada Nobuyoshi was brave and brave, and he also knew that his morale could not be vented, so he agreed at the moment.

The next day, Fujido Toraka led his troops into the discussion, and more than 1,000 Shinano Shinkaku, including Yashiro Masakoku, followed behind, thinking that they should respond.

Sanada Yutaka and Yamamoto Haruyuki climbed the lookout to watch him enter the army. Nobushige Koyamada did not climb the building, but personally led his team to stop outside the camp gate, and swept the formation for the Fujitang Tiger to strictly prevent the enemy's elite cavalry, as he had done two days ago.

Suwa Manlin, Takato Jimune and other relatives of the Nanshin Hao clan who obeyed the Takeda family did not leave the camp, and there were no eyes on the battlefield, and if they died unexpectedly, it would be a troublesome matter, so Oyamada Nobushige simply left them in the camp with Yubi, Xiaoshi, Yakushi, and Yin-Yang monks, and only incorporated the people under his command. By his subordinates Ueho Shigekiyo, Yajima Mototsuna, Kobayashi Sadakin, and Ishihara Shougen each led the ashigaru troops to stand on the left flank, and the brothers Kanozu Katsutada and Masataka led the Chibei cavalry to gallop through the dust, shouting and shouting, and drumming for the great army.

At this time, in the afternoon, the mountain wind suddenly blew the 'Kasa Seal' behind the Takeda Army soldiers, and the flags behind them were hunting and hunting, occasionally mixed with one or two neighing sounds of war horses, Fujido Tiger Gao stood in the middle of the foot and rode under the support of the team's flag, looking into the distance, the river of the Shinano River was meandering and surging, as if it was constantly roaring and urging, so that he could show off his martial arts and become famous as soon as possible.

The camps of the Takeda Army and the Echigo Army were about one or two miles apart, and from the current position of Fujido Toraka, because the sky was just right, you could see the turrets in the enemy camp, the flags waving in the wind, and a long dragon like the Etsushin soldiers, and the two armies were full of drums.

The bell rang three times, he retracted his gaze from afar, choked and pulled out the sword 'Biqian and Light', raised his arms and shouted, "Out of the battle!" Out of the line! ”

"Weyha! Whiha! Under the leadership of the leaders of the ashigaru groups of each team, more than 300 people lined up in a phalanx, with the long bow in front, the longbow and iron cannon in the middle, and the sickle in the back. Forming a formation, following the sound of the taiko drum conch, slowly pressed towards the enemy camp.

Fujido Toraka rode a red chestnut horse, wore armor and held a spear, and led Nakagawa Saemon and Nitta Sanshiro Zhulang to the forefront.

After that, it was the thousands of Shinano ancestors led by Yashiro Masakuni, and these more than 1,000 ashigaru heels left the camp after the first team, and when the Fujido Tiger Takaku was in formation, they followed closely after continuing to advance, and they always kept around seven or eight towns away, ready to attack, if Fujido Tiger was defeated, then they would take advantage of the situation to cover the past and seize the camp, and if Fujido Tiger was defeated, then they would be responsible for receiving the retreat of the front team.

Before the start of the battle, the movement of the taiko drums, the conch horn and the non-commissioned officers of the two soldiers out of the camp and the dust raised were always the most depressing.

Yamamoto Haruki looked at the battlefield from afar, twisted his beard and asked, "Attacking the bomb, how sure are you that you can break the enemy today?" ”

Sanada Yutaka smiled: "Soldiers are impermanent, how can I know the victory or defeat in advance?" ”

In the first two days, he did not go out to fight against the enemy, but watched from the lookout, and the sharpness of this Echigo reinforcement left a deep impression on Sanada Yukitaka, and it was indeed much stronger than Shinano's soldiers.

Honda right near Yun will take the lead in defeating the enemy and capturing the flag, and what is even more rare is that he is good at military law, dispatching troops, and defending the huge camp without leaking, so that people can not find the slightest flaw in him. Shimazaki Hachiro galloped with spear armor, brave and unmatched, and rode up and down the battlering wilderness with fifty horses, and the invasion was like fire, as long as the Takeda army had a slight upper hand, he would rush to the rescue of his own camp, and every time he could push the Takeda army back and reverse the decline.

Sanada Yutaka roughly calculated in his heart that the Takeda army that had been slashed by Matsudaira and Shimazaki in the past two days was no less than 30 people, including two ashigaru generals, seven samurai, and two well-deserved red ghost generals.

The Taiko drums sounded in the middle of the Vietnamese barracks, and soldiers continued to leave the camp and line up behind the barriers. It may be that it can be seen that the Takeda Army replaced the elite of the headquarters as the first to rush into battle, and sent Akabi to seize the plain, and Matsudaira Right Konyoyo also divided the team into two parts, the front team was less, about 100 people, more with longbows, iron cannons, and guarded the barrier. After the main force, the armor is sharp, and the spears in the two rooms stand like a forest, according to the visual inspection of the banner, there are about 500 people.

On the left side of the camp is fifty horses, and its leader is a tall samurai with black armor and a big antlers, and this person is Shimazaki Hachiro Keishin.

Sanada Yutaka said in his heart: "This Shimazaki Hachiro is quite a three-point ability of his teacher Nobutsuna Izumi, and he is very good at galloping with martial arts, and uses 'one horse' to break the formation and urge the front, today should still want to be the same as the previous two days, waiting for the opportunity to move, just wait for Fujido Tiger Gao to be a little defenseless, and he will go directly to the general." "He sheltered Ueno in his early years, and he had seen his people, Shimazaki Keishinobu was originally the yellow envoy of the Nagano family, and somehow came to serve in the Echigo army, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the one-eyed limp Yamamoto Haruki opposite, and remembered that the other party was also a disciple of the sword saint Buhara Tsukaden, and the battle of fame was also led by fifty horsemen, and he broke Murakami Yoshikiyoshi in Uedahara and turned things around.

There is only one word difference between Uenohara and Uedahara, and I don't know if this time is a good omen for that side.

The two armies finished their formations and stood opposite each other with their guns raised. The taiko drums rumbled, and the vanguard of the Takeda Army continued to advance in formation, getting closer and closer to each other with the Echigo soldiers, and there was still a distance of about 100 paces, and the drums in the Takeda military camp were loud.

The generals listened silently to the rhythm of the drums, but it was the general Oyamada Nobushige who gave a military order and ordered the vanguard to assault!

In the sound of drums, Fujitang Tiger twisted his face and shouted to the rear, urging his troops to kill the enemy bravely.

Not to be outdone, the conch whined, and Ben Duo Youjin Yun deliberately concentrated the Hukou Luar for a small number of iron cannons, and at this time, when he heard the order, he had already lit dozens of iron cannons and was waiting, and immediately pulled the trigger and fired intensively.

The iron cannons used by these dozens of iron cannon attendants are all Sakai barrels, which can shoot nearly 120 paces away, and at the same time refuse to defend the high ground, enough to cross the high part of the Fujido Tiger, and the long hand hand at the front of the first hand formation, shoot the rear Ashigaru, dozens of lead-cast projectiles are as fast as thunder, and in an instant, even the enemy formation, like hail to shoot down.

In order to maintain the flexibility of their arms and their wide line of sight, many archers did not wear curls and hats at all, and only heard the sound of "crackling" endlessly, but they did not know how many projectiles hit them almost in order, and the screams rang out immediately.

The thunderous sound of iron cannons and the shrill screams were mixed together like signals, and the guns of both sides poured out from behind the team, and fought hard to strangle each other through the fence.

Fujido Tiger Gao shouted a stack of orders, Qiben stepped forward and dragged the seriously injured and fallen to the rear for treatment, and the rest of the archers and iron cannons scattered to hide in the long past, gritted their teeth and fired at the iron cannon of the Echigo army, so that they had no time to kill and wound.

Seeing that Fujido Toraka had dragged the enemy army, Yashiro Masakuni at the back hurriedly divided a team of men to clear the wood and stones blocking the road, so as to facilitate the follow-up brigade to attack the camp.

The camp stands in Gaofu, and there are rolling slopes on both sides of the dirt road, which is inconvenient to carry, so it is simply pushed down directly by Ashigaru from the side, and the wood and stone roll down, and the momentum is huge, even overshadowing the roar of the iron cannon.

Sanada Yutaka sighed: "Honda Youjin Yun is really not to be underestimated, I changed my previous style, I didn't expect that after gathering dozens of iron cannons in one place, the power would be so huge, like thunder and fire, indestructible." If there are 3,000 iron cannons, where is there a place for our samurai, it is the red cavalry of our family, and they will also be destroyed in front of them! ”

Kanto is not better than the western country, iron cannon is still a rare thing, the general daimyo army is equipped with 100 rods is already a large scale, the price of the iron cannon is not only expensive, but also easy to damage, buy back often do not need a few battles will be scrapped, if the fire is blown up, the user is often either dead or disabled, even the ashigaru is not very willing to use, this is a strange and dangerous weapon.

Haruyuki Yamamoto traveled all over the world, and even went as far as Tanegashima of the Shimazu family in Kyushu, the earliest place where iron cannons were introduced, and saw a lot of such scenes, in fact, in order to better understand the performance of iron cannons, he not only used them on the battlefield as an iron cannon attendant.

When he was in the western country, he also followed the Maori family as a ronin to conquer the Ouchi clan, the overlord of the western country, compared to the tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy and us fighting each other in the field, or attacking and defending the city with thousands of iron cannons, the scene in front of him is just an insignificant small scene, he has really seen a lot.

Yamamoto Haruyuki said with a smile: "The iron cannon is fired slowly, the accuracy is still poor, and it is even more difficult to use it for a long time, and being able to shoot and kill many of our army for the first time is purely due to the numerical salvo advantage and luck, and let's see, the second and third times may not be able to fire many iron cannons." ”

The power of the iron cannon is indeed great, but the flaw is also as Yamamoto Haruyuki said, only two or three hits, it is difficult to form a salvo, only three or two intermittent sounds remain, and even when firing, it also exploded once, killing the iron gunner who used it on the spot, and the whole head was blown up in flesh and blood.

The form was reversed, but it was the Fujitang Tiger High Division, who had a majority of archers, gradually gained the upper hand, and in turn suppressed the opponent, and had already broken through the outermost fence and forced towards the second camp.

This is not how brave the Fujitang Tiger Gaobu is, but the Echigo army took the initiative to abandon the defense, slowly retreated to the second fortification, and after all the remnants of their own guards guarding the first fence were withdrawn, a black flag was suddenly erected, and the defenders of the second earthen fortress had already prepared fortifications, propped up the long fence, blocked two waves of strong bows one after another, and then pushed the rolling stone raft to crush down.

Nitta 30 Lang Wu Yong, wearing big armor, with ten more than a name ashiba, just over the first fence behind the earthen barrier, was about to chase upward, raised his face to see the wood and stone falling, hurriedly retreated, two legs slow ashigaru behind, did not have time to retreat to the back of the first earthen barrier, was hit by wood and stone in turn, one was hit on the head by a rolling stone, died on the spot before a sound, the other was crushed by the wood and broke his thigh, fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

Nitta Sanshiro wanted to go to the rescue, but was forced to retreat by a burst of arrows, and the Echigo army defenders deliberately did not shoot the wounded Adachika, allowing him to groan and cry for help, and specifically attacked the Takeda soldiers who could not help but take the risk to rescue, in order to break the morale of the enemy army.

Sanada Yutaka said in his heart: "This is the art of attacking the heart, Ci is not in charge of the army, when people use a big bow to kill this soldier, shock the army's heart, and drive the troops to carry the long and strong attack the camp, under one blow, how can not break the camp!" ”

However, Fujido Tiger High does not have such a military strategy, or there is no such ruthlessness that even his own people will not let go.

He sent people to save him twice, but he didn't succeed, but he lost several people and fell to the ground and wailed together.

"How can you be indecisive, with a small number of weak and remnant soldiers, and lose several warriors?" For such a small benevolence and small righteousness, Sanada Yutaka was silent on his face, and sighed in his heart, the fighter plane is fleeting, and if he wants to break the camp today, I am afraid it will never be possible.

On the other side of the battlefield, Shimazaki Hachiro swung his spear and sword, urging his cavalry to lead his troops to rush towards the rear of the Shinano people. Probably afraid of his bravery, Yashiro Masakuni did not personally respond to the battle this time, but sent two close samurai, led by two hundred Yuden troops, to meet the attack.

Nobushige Oyamada waved his troops, and the Subo team Kamiho Shigekiyo and the Takato team Yajima Mototsuna each received orders and led their troops to support Yashiro Masakuni.

The two Kanozu brothers did not stop them, and each led a hundred horsemen to scatter and outflank, and ran with a bow, trying to weaken the fifty horses with a dido horse, and then kill them, like a hunting dog prey, and wipe them all out.

Yamamoto Haruyuki suffered from an eye disease and could not see clearly, stood up, squinted into the distance, and saw the smoke and dust billowing from the five roads, the horses neighing, and the black-armored brave general took the lead, and fifty traced from the heel of the horse, and trampled on the enemy formation.

Yamamoto Haruyuki staggered and paced, and said regretfully: "Brave and unbelievable, it was not used by the family in the past, even if you are Kiso Xiang Yu is alive, I want you to die today!" ”
