The main camp of the Echigo army was also located in Takafu, and Nagao Masaki and his half-brother Oida Keiguni saw that the Imagawa army was holding against Nagakuro and Tobukuro, trying to lay a bridge and cross the trench to attack the front team.

Oida Keigkuni said, "The Imagawa Army wanted to use Takeda Akabi as the vanguard to suppress the Honda team in the front line of our army, and then use infantry to erect bridges and fill in trenches, and then launch a general attack with Akabei cavalry as the auxiliary and infantry as the main infantry to defeat our army in one fell swoop." ”

The long-tailed masaki rode a horse to look at the battle situation from afar, and did not speak. This kind of trench crossing tactics was used many times when he attacked the Takeda military camp, and it is not surprising that the other party is now using it to counter himself.

Haruka saw the young man who was in charge of the front line, and after seeing the Ashigaru of the Imagawa army approaching and wanting to fill in the ditch and level the trench, he panicked slightly, but was quickly pressed down by the bullet. The Ueda crowd immediately launched a counterattack under the military order of Honda's right Kyoyo, and the rear team's Ashigaru quickly pushed the chariot forward and dragged Nagakumi to board the car to form a formation in response to Takeda Akabei's repeated attacks.

At the same time, dozens of iron artillery guards were dispatched, and after climbing the mound, they quickly lined up in two columns, changing the target of salvo suppression from Takeda Akabei to the Ashigaru of the Imagawa army, and the archers used it as a supplementary shot for the time left to reload the lead bullet after the iron cannon salvo.

This is one of the most effective ways to resist enemy attacks at this time.

Asahina Shinji sent out the first hand, led by the 200-flag team, supplemented by 300 weak miscellaneous soldiers to help fill in the trenches, because it was too far away, and the flags were mixed, so it was impossible to see who the leader of the subordinates was, but compared to the Kanozu brothers who took the lead, this general was also very brave, personally risking arrows and lead bullets, and the troops advanced fiercely, without any hesitation.

Compared with the calmness of the forward generals, the hundreds of soldiers who served as the vanguard were very different, the flags were as if nothing happened, they lined up in formation, and marched according to the order, while the miscellaneous soldiers were terrified, but under the suppression and reprimand of the soldiers and samurai of each team, they were still able to rush forward in an orderly manner.

Ashigaru attacks on foot at a slow pace, while arrows, especially lead bullets, are fast and powerful. The arrows of the defenders behind the trench rained down, after one round of shooting, another round continued on it, and the shaking large oars were filled with dense rain of arrows, even if there was a long bow at the front, these hundreds of Imagawa troops were light, and some people were shot down into the trench one after another.

Watching these hundreds of feet walk forward from afar, he really stepped on the corpses and blood of his own people.

Because they were so far apart, Nagao Masaki and Ota Keiguni could not see the specific casualties of these ashigaru guns, but based on the changes in the number of flags waved by the miscellaneous troops who filled the trenches, they could roughly judge that the Imagawa army must have suffered a lot of casualties.

Whenever someone fell to the ground and died, the latecomers would push the corpse into the trench along with the dirt bag, and lay a long bridge on it, so that a two-room-wide bridge was quickly piled up for the attack.

Probably because under the cover of Takeda Akabei and the lack of hand-to-hand combat, although these weak miscellaneous soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, they still braved the rain of arrows and advanced very quickly, but in a moment, they were already close to the last narrow ditch.

At the front of the narrow ditch, the long hands at the forefront of this group of miscellaneous soldiers followed a shout, and they all put down the long trees in their hands, and the dust was flying, shouting noisy slogans, and rushed forward with steps.

At the moment when the miscellaneous soldiers of the Imagawa army put down the cover of the long tree, the Echigo army formation, which had been prepared, also made a thunderous roar, and all the iron gunners fired a salvo together, and the dense lead bullets fired by the iron cannon crackled down on the miscellaneous soldiers who lacked armor defense, and instantly blood splashed, sweeping a miscellaneous soldier in the sky in the smoke of gunpowder.

The rising smoke and dust not only obscured the vision of the generals of the two armies, but also made the soldiers of the front team unable to see the opponent's position clearly.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a moment. The dust on the ground began to shake slightly, and then the sound of stamping on the bridge was heard. Without receiving the military order, the iron cannon who did not dare to retreat without permission was sweating like pulp, and the monks who were preparing to assault the enemy were extremely hopeful, and the ashigaru at the forefront held his scythe and held his breath.

Thousands of horsemen are headed, thousands of armies are vying for victory, and the blood is surging like a tide. In this atmosphere, the brave are excited, and the cowardly are strong. The footsteps suddenly changed from small to loud, like rain falling sharply, like drums, and in the smoke and dust, the Imagawa army banner was unfurled.

"Nan no Amitabha!"

The team under the head of the long-tailed army wrapped in a monk's scarf quickly stepped forward, climbed the naginata, and ran out quickly along the gap left between the car formations, the sharp naginata also slashed down with a brush, and the stumps and broken arms flew sideways in the air.

It is as if during the Genpei War, the private soldiers of the fierce samurai regiments from all over the country fought endlessly on the battlefield to slaughter the equally weak imperial court officers and soldiers.

The head of the Oka army was rampant, with the first hand selected behind him, jumping first, holding black lacquer guns in a row of six, hard against the arrows, constantly killing and repelling the monks who tried to seize the bridge, and constantly expanding the position for the friendly troops behind him, and the county soldiers who crossed the trench under the command of their respective soldiers, lined up in the same guns, and rushed forward towards the black tide, like a strong causeway, stubbornly withstanding the baptism of the enemy's arrow rain, forcing this group of monks to retreat again and again.

The 500 banners brought by Asahina Shinji were all carefully selected elite soldiers, who drove ten miles to the land in a hurry, defeated three arrays of harassing wild ambush teams in succession, and arrived outside Taihei Temple at noon, forcing Nagao Masakai to lead the army to fight head-on.

Although he didn't have time to rest, he attacked the road crossing defended by the Ueda people, but he was still high-spirited, and everyone fought bravely, and the world said that the three weak soldiers of the three countries in the East China Sea were frequent, but really, how could the Imagawa family be able to annex the three kingdoms, fight Takeda in the north, attack Hojo in the east, and seize the country of Mikawa in the west.

This group of Yuanjiang 'peasant soldiers' is far from the Junfu soldiers, but their degree of bravery and good fighting has greatly shocked the generals of Echigo, and it can be said that they are not inferior to the self-respecting and fierce Wu Yue disciples, and it is not an exaggeration to call them like wolves and tigers.

Kanotsu Katsutada, the Akabi cavalry general who had been shooting with a bow, suddenly changed his arrows and shot them out of the air, emitting a series of piercing sounds, and the Akabi cavalry, who had been galloping and shooting with a gallop of a Kina horse outside the trench, quickly turned around and returned to the open rear, breaking away from the cover of the Imagawa army, and re-divided into two teams of 100 people under the leadership of their respective soldiers.

The imposing Chibei swept by, trying to cross the trench from a distance and go straight to Taihei Temple, wanting to attack Murakami's empty main camp and rescue the crumbling Buddhist temple from the side.

The main formation, which was shocked by the long-tail political scene, hurriedly divided a team of horses and horses to disperse the guard.
