Chapter 584 46. The Courage of the A Army Was Lost in Uehara
The moment the cannon roars, it is the king of the battlefield!
The Jia Army, which dug through the Yamauchi army's formation all the way, was finally baptized by the triple baptism of Yamauchi's cannons, iron cannons, and bows and arrows.
Pong Pong and Gong were helpless against the prosperity of Shan County. Even though they were covered in arrows, there were still many people who encouraged them to fight.
Even the iron cannon with a horizontal stroke that cannot hit an elephant thirty meters away has no effect on the prosperity of Shanxian County. If you want to go up and kill thousands of people with a volley of guns like writing a novel, then why do you need atomic bombs?
But the Franco machine gun that sprays shotgun shells and the three-pound bronze cannon that fires back and forth rapidly are quite different.
If you touch it, you will die, if you touch it, you will die, no exception!
It has been seen that someone can live for two years after being shot by a gun, but it is unheard of that someone can live for two years after being exposed to a cannonball.
Shanxian Changjing is just betting on who will die but not me!
As long as he rushes into the main formation of the Yamauchi banner, all the cannons, bows and arrows, and iron cannons will be ineffective, and the rest will be a real fight with real swords and guns. Army A will definitely be able to do it!
The distance between the two sides is shortening infinitely.
Shanxian Changjing felt that at this moment eight million gods in the sky were on his side. The familiar warrior was hit by the cannon and fell down. Close family members were shot in the abdomen and fell to their knees wailing. The caring villagers followed the gunfire and spread the blood mist.
He was the only one who turned a deaf ear to all the violent roars. He seemed to be able to clearly see even the eyelashes exposed in the ghostly face of the Yamauchi Hatamoto warrior.
With a "bang", the spear penetrated the body of a Yamauchi ashigaru, and the soldiers of Army A rushed through the long 100 meters!
The bow ashigaru and the iron gun ashigaru retreated in panic. The ashigaru warriors holding spears and swords rushed up, trying to form a long formation to stop the unstoppable armor army.
"Tell Chiba Suke! Adjust the firing range, continue the bombardment, and do not allow follow-up support from Army A to enter!"
"Zuoma Yun! Send the order to Aji and ask him to outflank Army A from the left wing. Let Minggoro outflank Army A from the right wing and eat up all the first moves of Army A!"
The final battle has begun!
A thousand people from the A Military Region try to break through the formation of 5,500 flags in the mountain. It is absolutely impossible!
"Drumming! I will personally go into battle with His Highness's royal white flag!" He handed Taro Yamauchi in his arms to his old father-in-law.
Taking the Nanban bag from Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasumasa also brought Hyakdan over. Xiaopingtai got on his horse and watched as the flag bearers put the royal white flag behind their backs, then went down the mountain with their own horse tags of thousand-percent gold and bamboo leaves.
The Hatamoto team that was intercepting Yamauchi Masokage head-on found that Yamauchi Hatamoto's 1st team came down the mountain to go into battle. Genji Yubai Banner and Qian Chengjin Bamboo Leaf Horse Flag came down the mountain together. Everyone knew that Yamauchi Taro and Koheita had arrived.
Amidst the sound of drums, the morale of the Yamauchi army became increasingly high.
What honor can compare to the glory of fighting side by side with Shimomataro and Fujiwara Danmasa?
The two pairs of sharp eyes finally met!
It turns out to be Shanxian Changjing! Only then did Koheita realize that Tsuchiya Masahiro's flag was planted behind Shanxian Changjing. It turned out that Tsuchiya Masahiro had been killed in the battle long ago or was too injured to fight. The momentum of Army A was maintained by this Shanxian Masahiro.
"That person is Yamagata Saburobei Masakage!" Honda Tadakatsu raised his gun and shouted loudly!
The bowmen and iron cannon attendants on the left and right looked together, and there was indeed a general of the red armored army!
Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakibara Yasumasa, who were new born calves and were not afraid of tigers, jumped and rushed down the hillside without saying a word, heading towards Shanxian Changjing. In their eyes, this was not a successful general, but a great feat that was famous all over the world.
As soon as Honda Tadakatsu finished speaking, the archers and iron cannon servants in the Hatamoto First Division opened fire one after another. Who knows the status of Yamagata Masakai in the Takeda family? When a large number of veterans died in the battle, he was the elder of the Takeda family.
Koheita rose to become an important minister in the Yamauchi family just because he wanted to kill Itagaki Suruga Shokugata.
Who wouldn’t want to copy this path?
Shanxian Changjing, who was mixed in the crowd, could not avoid it and simply ignored the arrows and projectiles flying towards him. On the battlefield, if you are lucky, you will die, and if you die, you will live.
In an instant, three arrows were inserted into his body, but he continued to fight with his sword, his bravery undiminished.
"Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu is here to see you!"
"Taiyamasa Sakakihara Kohei is here to see you!"
Two thirteen-year-old dead boys of the same age, one on the left and the other on the right, drew their guns and stabbed them. Anyway, they were surrounded by Yamauchi Ashigaru samurai who rushed over after seeing a head worth five hundred kan. Everyone's eyes are shining with gold, and the temptation of five hundred guan knowledge and practice is too great.
Shanxian Changjing was helpless, and he felt more and more powerless. When the two dead children rushed up, he was unable to resist for a moment.
"Get out of the way! I will not kill unknown people! Fujiwara Tamamasa, how dare you fight me!" With one shot, two dead children were shot away. Yamagata Masakage loudly invited Koheita to fight.
Is Xiaoping too afraid of a duel? Very scared! Because Xiaoheita's martial arts skills are at the level of Ashigaru at best, and are incomparable to the samurai who have practiced martial arts since childhood.
But he's not afraid of a duel! Because the so-called one-on-one competition these days is not about me picking you out alone, but a group of us picking you out! If you have the ability, come with a group of people. Anyway, we will do it when we meet!
Do you still think it’s the Spring and Autumn Period for a righteous war?
"My sister, Xiaolu Danzheng, and the Bizuna family agreed!"
Koheita, who was rarely heroic on the battlefield, held up Muramasa and killed the general. Of course, the samurai ashigaru of the Yamauchi army would not give up their attack on Yamagata Shokage. Murakami Yoshimitsu also held his spear and fought hard to kill Shanxian Changjing, trying to get a piece of the pie.
Anyway, now it has developed into a melee, the queues have begun to collapse, and even many soldiers are just fighting around the ashigaru head.
Eager to win by defeating Kobayata, Yamagata Masakage drove forward without sparing any effort, but at this moment, a cannon suddenly exploded, and a cannon attendant somehow avoided the crowd and rushed forward, shooting the warhorse under Yamagata Masakage's crotch.
The warhorse wailed, knelt on its front hooves, and threw Yamagata Masakage on the horse.
Good opportunity!
Honda Tadakatsu originally had two short legs, and how could a 1.3-meter-tall little man run faster than a horse? But he was a man of good tenacity, unwilling to admit defeat, stubborn, and ran after the horse, refusing to fall behind. Now seeing Yamagata Masakage fall off his horse, he stabbed him with a spear. Yamagata Masakage heard the wind in his ears, and as a veteran general for many years, his body subconsciously rolled to avoid the long spear.
Kobayata had also driven his horse to come, and slashed at Yamagata Masakage with a knife. Yamagata Masakage held the back of the knife and took the knife hard, escaping danger.
Seeing that he was about to get up, Honda Tadakatsu dropped his gun and, like a flying squirrel, he opened his arms and legs and pounced on Yamagata Masakage. Murakami Yoshimitsu also rushed here and hit Yamagata Masakage's helmet with his gun.
Several foot soldiers around saw him fall to the ground and followed Honda Tadakatsu's example and pounced on him like a pile of monks.
The dead kid pulled out the wakizashi from his waist and stabbed the struggling Yamagata Masakage in the neck.
Yamagata Saburobei Masakage wanted to die!
