Chapter 398 Let's Fight Here

At the artillery position of the Takeda Army, as the Shibata Army’s horse squad approached, the muzzle of the nine-pounder gun slowly lowered.

"Two hundred rooms!"

The gun commander in charge of the observation, visually inspected the position of the Shibata army horse-riding team, and reported to Rui Costa.

"This distance is still a bit narrow, forget it, give me a six-pounder!" Rui Costa yelled.

The twelve six-pound gates of the Takeda Army roared in unison.

After the black smoke from the muzzle rose again, Rui Costa visually observed the effect of the shelling, frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay!"

"Report to your lord that the nine-pounder gun has been loaded."

"Don't hesitate, shoot me, don't shoot a volley, shoot me as many shells as each cannon has!"

"But the lord said that he will only prepare for five rounds!"

"Idiot," Rui Costa yelled, saying: "If the enemy horseback squad breaks through our infantry squadron, can the artillery fight the enemy hand-to-hand? Must kill the enemy as much as possible within the range. "

"Order the guns without waiting for the order. After the reloading is complete, the gunner can measure the distance visually and shoot!"

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Li Xiao heard that the shooting frequency of the team behind him began to increase frequently, and he immediately understood Rui Costa's meaning.

However, he did not correct the opponent's actions. The opponent is the general general of the big tube team appointed by him. At this time, he must be able to make a judgment that is more suitable for the battlefield situation.

Seeing the enemy's horse riding team getting faster and faster, Wu Jian Fantou reported to Li Xiao: "Master, the Shibata Army horse riding team is 180 miles away!"

Li Xiao took a deep breath. He used the nine-pounder guns with a range of nearly 400 as the first line of fire, and the six-pounder guns with a range of 200 as the second line of fire. The team has vitality.

But this is not enough, the third line of iron guns is needed to really kill.

At this time, Li Xiao said loudly: "Order the Iron Cannon Team to prepare!"

"At the same time, the horse is in place, ready to attack!"

Li Xiao knew that even with the western phalanx, it was not invincible and not enough to win. To defeat the Shibata army's cavalry, in the end, only cavalry would be used.

At the Battle of Volkhov, Gustav the Great used a combination of infantry and artillery to defeat the Polish cavalry, who had never defeated the Swedish army.

This was the most decisive first time for the new Swedish army to defeat the cavalry in a field battle. At that time, it was Gustav who led the attack of 2,100 Swedish cavalry and defeated the Polish army.

Now with the increase in the intensity of the Takeda Army’s shelling, the Shibata Army’s horse-riding team casualties began to increase.

The horses of the riding team trot all the way with four hooves. This scene is like advancing in a dressage in horsemanship.

However, Shibata Army Samurai's expression was not leisurely.

Although he hurried his horse faster, Shibata Katsuzumi witnessed the bombardment of the Takeda army, and the Iki samurai advancing right next to him, suddenly caught off guard and was hit by the stone bullets falling from the sky.

The half-dead warrior neighed long, and the samurai with half of his body cut off, lying on the ground, reaching out his hand to helplessly ask for help.

The scene is shocking.

In the first and second assault formations ahead, the samurai continued to wither, and now the third horseback team began to suffer casualties.

Shibata Katsumi saw the panic from the faces of the horse-riding warriors around him. As a samurai, he was not afraid of being taken by the enemy at the first level, but regarded it as an honor. At that time, he was most afraid of that, even those who killed him. Unknown death, this is a kind of dishonorable death.

This is a huge blow to morale for the riding team.

Amid the deafening shelling, Shibata Katsuzen couldn't bear it, and finally drew out his sword and issued the command to the Shibata army riding team to assault the whole army.

The formation of the Wudao Shibata Army's horse-riding team suddenly showed a wave-like impact.

Like waves of huge waves, swept toward the Takeda army phalanx.

After receiving the order, the Shibata Army samurai clamped the horse with both legs one by one, and slapped the horse's hip with the bar of the gun.

After the horse was in pain, the horse's nose snorted angrily, immediately made a forward leap, and then shook off its hoof.

As the four hooves galloped in tandem, the neck of the warhorse also stretched back and forth, and the trimmed mane flew straight back.

"NS!"

On the horse, the samurai kept urging the war horse under him, raising the spear in his hand, and the flag finger behind him was almost half-bent by the headwind.

With the continuous acceleration, the galloping speed of the horses was accelerated to the maximum in just a few dozen short intervals, and the first horse riding team approached the distance of less than 100 miles in front of the Takeda army in a flash.

Facing the black and crushing cavalry, Yoshida Sunshiro has also gone through a lot of battles with the nearly thousand horse riding team, but at the moment he is still pale and sweating.

As the horses' hooves rolled, the rumbling of horses' hooves, this kind of psychological oppression also existed in the hearts of Yoshida Sunshiro's same name.

No one can ignore the pressure of this impact. If these horseback riding teams are brought closer, even if they don't need to wield a knife, the charge of the horses has already begun to trample them into the flesh.

"The first row, the third row, the fifth row, and the seventh row squat down lightly!"

The General Iron Cannon gave orders loudly.

Standing in the first row, Yoshida Sunshiro obeyed the order, with his left foot in front and his right knee kneeling in a half-squatting posture.

"Retreat shooting, the first row, the second row lift up and aim!"

Yoshida Sunshiro also said that he raised the iron cannon, and the second row of the iron cannon also placed the iron cannon on his head.

The iron cannon burned violently on the match rope, and Sun Shiro Yoshida breathed deeply, trying to keep calm, and at the same time fixed his gaze on the cavalry who was swiftly facing him.

The Shibata Army horse-riding team, which was undulating up and down like a wave, swept in. In this wave, a few small waves sprang up from time to time, slightly hindering the impact.

At this time, the Takeda Army’s large tube team fired with all their strength, trying to break up the formation of the opposing horse-riding team, making a final effort to kill the enemy as much as possible.

"Eighty rooms!"

Yoshida Sunshiro looked at the iron gun general and slowly raised the sword, but his breathing stopped in a moment.

"Sixty rooms!"

The Shibata Army's horse-riding team approached another step, Yoshida Sun Shiro thought that at this distance, the iron cannon could barely shoot. However, General Iron Cannon still did not give an order to shoot.

"Fifty rooms!"

This is the effective range of the iron cannon, but the Taito in the hand of the iron cannon's general still raised it straight in the air without giving an order.

At this moment, Yoshida Sunshiro felt like a drum hammering in his heart. He even doubted whether the General Tie Can had forgotten the shooting command. At this moment, his fingers couldn't help but pull the trigger.

"Forty rooms!"

"shooting!"

Almost at the same time, General Iron Cannon swung the sword in his hand heavily and roared in his mouth.

At this moment, Yoshida Sunshiro felt his mind was blank and his eyes became white. Fortunately, his posture remained unchanged and he still pulled the trigger calmly.

When sparks appeared from the spear tip, Yoshida Sunshiro's feet softened and he was relieved instantly.

Almost at the same time, the two rows of iron cannons in front of the seven phalanxes of the Takeda Army were light enough, and nearly 170 iron cannons fired at the same time.

This volley of iron cannons was different from a big barrel bombardment. In an instant, it was like the **** of death raising his sickle of death, slamming it toward the Shibata army horse-riding team, and harvesting lives.

Suddenly, Shibata's horseback riding team turned all over.

The first shock lineup of the riding team became sparse in an instant.

"Thirty rooms!"

"Shoot!" With the anger of the General Iron Cannon.

The third and fourth rows of the Takeda Army’s iron guns all pulled the trigger, and bullets splattered like a torrential rain on the enemy cavalry. Shibata Army’s riding samurai fell one after another like sacks from their horses.

Or the horse was shot and stumbled, and even the horse and the horse fell more than ten meters in a high-speed gallop.

"Twenty rooms!"

"shooting!"

"Ten rooms!"

"shooting!"

The Shibata Army’s horse-riding team suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses were in a mess in front of the Takeda Army. The corpses of the horses and the samurai were almost covered.

Almost no horseback warrior was spared.

The Shibata Army’s riding samurai are also humans, and they fear death even if they are samurai. Seeing such heavy casualties, they began to retreat.

At that time, the Takeda Army’s West Country phalanx, which had been claiming to have uninterrupted firepower, was misfired.

After all, the Shibata Army’s riding team had an impact too fast. The Takeda Army only completed four rounds of shooting and used a retreat shooting. After the Takeda Army’s iron guns had retreated to the square, they began to load ammunition. It would take a while before the second shooting began. time.

Just under this loading gap, Shibata Army's riding team saw hope.

The horse-riding team in the front had the intention of retreating. At that time, the horse-riding team from the rear had rushed in quickly and launched an impact at the three flags of the Takeda Army's central phalanx!

Seeing the Shibata Army's riding squad came under pressure, Takeda Army Admiral Ashikaru immediately ordered the central pike phalanx to cover the iron artillery team to reload.

The first three rows of light-footed long spears were erected into three rows of spear forests, pointing straight to the direction where the Shibata Army horse-riding team came.

The Takeda army was convinced that under the gun formation, even the cavalry would not dare to attack the phalanx casually.

At that time, this expectation was wrong.

The Shibata Army’s horse-riding team swept close to the Takeda Army’s phalanx like a hurricane. At this time, they all used their lances as javelins. With the inertia of the horses’ rush and the strength of their wrists, they directly moved towards the Takeda’s long-gun phalanx. In the fly throw.

This is simply a more terrifying tactic than the archers.

Except for a few that were allocated, most of the long spears almost penetrated a Takeda army spear.

The dense spear formations of the Takeda army made it impossible for the spear to turn around and move. Sometimes, knowing that the spear was flying towards him, he could only watch as he was pierced by the spear.

When the javelin was fired, the Takeda Army's foot light phalanx suffered a great loss and even opened a gap.

Some people even don't want Shibata Army to ride a samurai, and stab the warhorse under him with the sword on his waist.

The horse was in pain, leaped frantically, and slammed into the gap abruptly.

The horse's impulse under the charge of hundreds of kilograms at full speed was like a small van, and it killed a piece of Takeda sergeant.

As a result, the Shibata Army's horse-riding samurai riding a war horse rushing into the battle was also struck by several upward bamboo spears.

At that time, such desperate people were only a few. The Shibata army horseback samurai who had finished shooting their lances were more of an attempt to penetrate the gap between the two phalanxes. Their purpose was to rush to the back of the formation and slash the Takeda army iron artillery team.

However, when these horse-riding warriors were waiting to march, they were stabbed from the side of the phalanx of the long spears on both sides of the Takeda Army.

At that time, there were still many people rushing through. At that time, these people were too happy, but they were ambushed by the Takeda Army reserve behind the long spear phalanx.

At this time, the frontal phalanx of the Takeda Army was not good. Under the tactics of the Shibata Army’s horses, the three phalanxes in the center of the Takeda Army suffered heavy losses.

Halfway through the battle, the right-wing phalanx finally couldn't stand the casualties and finally collapsed.

The large spears of the Takeda Army gave up their guns and ran backwards.

For Shibata Jun, this was a turning point in the battle. Even Shibata, who had been on the hills distressed by the heavy casualties of the riding team, couldn't help but wave his fist.

Shibata Katsuka exclaimed in all excitement: "Finally, the Takeda army's long spear phalanx has been broken."

Not only Shibata Katsuya, but also his subordinates were relieved at this moment. If even the riding team can’t break the Takeda army’s phalanx, then there is no need to fight the Takeda army in the future. Just see Li Xiao’s banner. Surrender is good.

Although Shibata Shengjia didn't know the details of the Western phalanx, he also knew that if such a linear phalanx was broken at one point, it would be broken across the board.

Katsura Shibata waved his match, shouted his orders, and said: "All the samurai of the Oda clan, the victory or defeat is here. I order Kanemori to come closer, and the two teams of Baixiang Jiajia go in through this gap, and you and I Shibata led the Qi main army out of the battle and went down the mountain into a general attack on the Takeda army."

Shibata Shengjia said murderously, Shibata army approached, and together with Qiben army raised their guns and shouted.

The terrible killing sounded at the Shibata army's main formation. At this time, Shibata Katsura, including his subordinates, was determined to win.

It is true that the collapse of the Takeda army's phalanx really refreshed the spirit of the Shibata army who had been fighting for a long time.

The remaining horse-riding warriors of the cavalry team don’t need to listen to any orders at this time, and they also understand how to act. They all raised the swords in their hands, rushed towards the phalanx that the Takeda army had been beaten down, and slashed with their swords. Pursue the defeated soldiers of the Takeda Army.

The Takeda army who had lost the square formation had no resistance at all. The Shibata army horse-riding team wielded a sword and slashed all the way. Suddenly, the corpses were everywhere, and the heads rolled to the ground.

On the side, the general of Kamokabei Fujido Takatora ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ puts in a spear formation to come to rescue, but it can't stop it like a torrent flooding into the Shibata army riding team.

Just when the Takeda Army front was about to collapse, there was a rumbling of horseshoes on the flank of the Shibata Army's riding team.

"It's the lord!"

I don't know which person from the Takeda Army shouted amidst the chaos.

The flag prints of the sun and the moon are overlapped and floated up.

"It's the lord who went into battle himself!"

Almost in an instant, the generals of the Takeda Army who had fallen into despair saw the Takeda Army riding team as the general Li Xiao straddling the Black Forge and personally carried his gun into battle.

He led the Takeda Army's riding equipment to kill at a critical moment and intercepted the flank of the Shibata Army's riding team.

Suddenly, the morale of the Takeda squadron was greatly boosted.
