A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 464 23. Jinjing Team Is Progressing Smoothly

"Dong dong dong dong" the taiko drum sounded, and two teams from each team on the left and right sent out two troops to press towards Honjoji Temple.

I heard the sound of military drums in the mountain and the flags flying in Benzheng Temple. A long banner of Nanwusiguang Tathagata rushed out from the temple, and along the way there were echoes of chanting the Buddha's name.

The leading general of the left team is Kanai Meigoro. He is very unique among the Yamauchi family. The others are on horseback and command the reserve team to fight. He was the only one walking into battle, but it was inconvenient that the soldiers couldn't see him.

He also floated very high. He put a layer of gold foil on the Nanman's body and legs. When the skylight shone, his whole body shone with golden light, which was dazzling. When Mrs. Xiaoping saw it, she blurted out, isn't this just a scarab beetle?

In a certain game, the golden samurai who is the unique elite type of Bengdaizi is probably the same as Minggoro.

When the two armies faced each other, they both saw him marching forward with a golden light. After this battle, as long as Meigoro makes a contribution, his reputation will be spread throughout Mikawa.

"Hey, have you heard about it? There is a beetle in the Yamauchi Army, no, the golden-armored general Kanai Meigoro..."

But think about it, with today's world like this, which general wouldn't come up with something fancy? Otherwise, how could he become famous on the battlefield and let the two armies know each other?

Looking back at his slutty thousand-inch golden bamboo leaf horse badge, Xiaoping Tai didn't seem qualified to explain anything to Goro.

The first general on the right team is Matsushita Ao. Since his stepson Matsushita Toramatsu has become a trainee of Yamauchi Taro, it is already foreseeable that Matsushita will enter the Yamauchi center in the future, and he is working very hard now.

Kanai Meigoro was directly under the banner, so he attacked the bridge. Matsushita Qing is a foreigner, so he fills the gap.

There are different identities and different divisions of labor.

There was no gate in the town in front of Honjoji Temple, so a group of people blocked the bridge head with rice bags filled with soil and set up wooden posts, knowing that the Yamauchi army would come to seize the bridge.

"Uncle, has Meigoro brought the iron cannon?" Koheita looked at Uncle Tsunaliang, who was temporarily serving as the leader of the formation.

"Here we go, forty men, drawn from the iron artillery of your own team and mine." Uncle Tsunliang set up a pergola and was observing the battle situation.

As the two of them talked, the Jinjing team drove to the bridge and confronted Yi Xiangzhong across the wooden bridge. As usual, they placed the wooden beams and bamboo bundles and started shooting, which was completely in line with the current combat mode.

There don't seem to be too many iron cannons in the crowd, and they adopt the form of three-stage shooting. The two bows take turns to release arrows, and then the iron cannon ashigaru fires the gun. The firepower isn't too strong, but it's definitely enough.

Kanai Meigoro's bow and iron cannon are very ordinary, he just knows how to use them. His skills are all in those two long and short knives, and even the long spear is just better than ordinary people.

At this time, he had no choice but to hang around, working in a hurry and unable to exert his energy.

Koheita pricked up his ears and listened for a while. The Yamauchi Army also came up with the No. 40 Iron Cannon Ashigaru. The firepower was not enough. Some of the bows raised by Meigoro were mixed in and fired together. After about five or six rounds of gunfire, the two sides stopped.

Mainly to save money!

Since neither of them has succeeded in defeating the opponent with firepower, they can only have a head-on confrontation.

At this moment, Kanai Meigoro's opportunity came. Several of his family servants, wearing armor and holding wooden poles, fought against him. The iron cannon on the opposite side stopped firing. Not only to save money, but the barrel of the gun was also a little hot and we needed to rest for a while.

As far as the inferior bows like the Marubi bows currently used by the public are concerned, even if you shoot out a dozen arrows, it will not be of much use to the Nanman body. This body armor is much more reliable than the Henglian Golden Bell.

The two armies were only separated by a bridge, about thirty meters apart, and could only be reached in a few steps. A large number of ashigaru and monk soldiers also came forward, relying on the fortifications with long weapons such as spears and naginata to defend.

Kanai Meigoro didn't use his beloved Odachi, probably because he couldn't use it on the bridge. There was definitely not enough distance for him to show off his skills, so he could only use an ordinary sword.

His ability to make a living with this knife was absolutely top-notch. Two long spears pierced him, but it only caused him to turn slightly sideways. Then, before you could even see the knife, you cut two long spears in half.

Most of Kanai Meigoro's family and samurai subordinates are his senior brothers and members of the Kuragano Kanai clan. They are familiar with each other, work well together, and have very good martial arts skills.

After three times, five and two, a samurai climbed over the bridge and inserted the pony mark of Kanai Meigoro with a cypress fan pattern.

Immediately, a cry came out from the field: "Yamauchi Clan's banner general, Futama Castle Dai Kanai Akigoro Hideharu Ichibanjo!"

Uncle Tsuna Liang shouted, "You can send someone up to work with Meigoro!"

"Aji, Qi Gui, you two each bring fifty soldiers. If there is a breakthrough at the bridge, immediately join forces with Ming Goro."

Koheta understood, and immediately asked the two of them to lead the relatively elite Standing Ashigaru to join the battle, taking advantage of the opportunity to expand the results.

Who would have thought that Yi Kui Zhong would be so vulnerable? The Jinjing team had just planted the flag, but they had not yet defeated all the Yi Kui people guarding the bridge. The long banner facing Nan Wubu Si Guang Tathagata was also erected, and it fell down as soon as the crowd was told.

? ? ?

Not so! No matter how weak you are, you won't collapse like this just after seeing a little blood.

Koheita looked at Uncle Tsunaliang, and he didn't expect it either. Originally, the two expected that a group of people would use their strength to fight at the bridgehead. Of course, some of the elite members of the Yamauchi family will die, but the bravest and most daring ones among the group will definitely perish on the bridge.

The army in the mountain is small but there are many elite soldiers. Although Yikui is many, there are few elite soldiers.

After the Ikki were beaten hard at the bridge, those who dared to fight the most were killed. It would be much easier to attack the main gate of Honshoji Temple, or even easy and comfortable.

But the Ikki in front of him was so weak that he fell down at the first collision. It couldn't be that they were really silver-like wax spears that looked good but were useless.

"Come here, tell Ming Goro to guard the bridge first, and then rush in."

It was so smooth that Xiao Pingtai didn't see anything wrong. First, he ordered Ming Goro to stabilize the wooden bridge leading to Monzen-machi, so that it would be convenient for the follow-up army to enter. As for how he would pursue and where to attack, Xiao Pingtai felt that there was no need for micro-management.

Ming Goro was a knowledgeable man, and he had many more lives under his command than Xiao Ping. He had been on the edge of a knife for too many days, so his ability to judge the battlefield would not be bad.

On the other side, the Matsushita team fought normally, throwing sandbags and sandbags, and throwing everything into the ditch. After such a long time, the ditch was filled up a little.

The long weapons were in front, the short weapons were behind, and they held their spears and stabbed at the Ikki people on the other side of the fence. There were also archers who threw arrows lightly and harassed each other.

The Kanai team cooperated with Kobayata's reinforcements, reorganized the team, and rushed into the town. Generally speaking, it has been smooth so far.
