Chapter 618 24. The Two Are Invincible and Famous

After receiving the news that Koheita was going to leave Nirasaki and head towards Sasao, Hara Castle got busy early in the morning!

The soldiers distributed rice balls and salt, and gunpowder, matchlock, and lead bullets were also distributed in place. The horses were fed with fine materials, and the men and horses drove southward boundlessly, all over the Suwa Lake plains.

Yamauchi Taro was riding on a pony. Although he was out in battle, he was surrounded by several of his friends. They were all in the city or temple, which was not much different from being in Fuchu City.

After all, the child is still young, and riding a horse is physically strenuous, but it is held by someone. Moreover, the horse is also the kind of horse that is dismounted, with a shoulder height of only one meter, and is just used for transportation. Yamauchi Taro, who was sitting on it, was still chatting with Sakon's friends, chatting and laughing with each other.

As the general of the Yamauchi Army, although he does not actually command the army, Yamauchi has a strong position and recognizes the signature of their Yamauchi family. If you don't come, others really can't lead this team.

Like Kai, your Yamauchi is not a good thing even if the annual tribute is halved. Even if Takeda Shingen takes 60%, he is still our biological father. No matter what he is like, in the hearts of us Kai people, he is the best.

The same goes for the people of Yamauchi. No matter how high your reputation is or how powerful you are, we will not recognize anyone except Taro Yamauchi!

Only by looking at the white flag of Genji and the two horse flags of Yamauchi, the 15,000-strong army can roll forward with peace of mind.

"Your Highness! There is indeed a battle ahead at Sasao!" After receiving the report, Murakami Yoshimitsu rode into the team and informed Taro Yamauchi and all the company commanders about the matter.

"Sure enough, Kai Ichikui can't hold back his words!" Isshiki Miyauchi nodded.

"It's best if you can't hold it back! Let's clean it up together!" Kitahata University was following with Xiao Hetuo.

Several big guys in the team heard the news, and it was just as Xiaoheita expected. Kaiyi and others couldn't give up the sweet potato of Monk Shaoyan, who was only escorted by a thousand people, so they still took the bait.

"Do you want to speed up the march to support the bombing?" Yamauchi Yoshiho, a junior, waited for the two bosses to finish speaking before speaking.

"Don't be anxious. Dan Zhengzhen, a long-time veteran, will be sure to be foolproof. Our team can join up on time according to the previous plan!" Isshiki Palace knew that the thousands of troops under Koheita were all elite banner troops, and there were three iron cannons alone. With hundreds of them, it's just like playing to defeat the crowd.

"Uncle Danzheng never fights an unprepared battle. Over the years, he has rarely taken risks in battles. If he is not in a hurry, he is really not in a hurry!" Taro Yamauchi also agreed with this point.

In the majestic formation, thousands of people lined up to advance. The brave were not allowed to go first, and the timid were not allowed to fall behind. He was poked with a spear, poked away with a spear, chopped with knives, and killed indiscriminately. It's just that they are all rushing in together, and it's difficult to change hands. How can they allow them to move left and right?

Xiao Ping remembers what Marshal Qi said clearly. There is no need to take risks unless it is absolutely necessary.

"But the match ropes of the iron cannon men must be lit, and the war horses of the public must also run and warm up first, so as not to be in a hurry on the spot."

Isshiki Miyauchi is also someone who has fought bad battles for decades. Although his tactical ability is not as strong as other Yamauchi generals, he is definitely on the passing line, and there is no problem in normal response.

"Also, ask the young men of each team to take out their bows, arrows, and prepared swords and guns, and bring them forward so that they can be used directly before the battle."

"By the way, Nanman big cannon?" Yamauchi Taro thought of the cannon on his side.

Everyone looked at the artillery cart pulled by packhorses in the middle of Xiaohe's pack team. The muddy ground was a bit rough, but fortunately Xiaopingtai was modified according to the instructions of the French army's artillery carriage in the 18th century. It had a relatively stable front carriage, so the operation was relatively smooth.

"Call Chiba to come over!"

An envoy turned the horse's head and ran towards the back!

Yuan Yinsheng is a big cannon man, how can he ride a horse? He rides on the cannon cart every day. A cannon is much more valuable than a little samurai like him. Koheita has set extremely strict maintenance requirements. Only when the cannon is well maintained can it be 100% effective. He must not stare at his cannon!

He ran over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Chiba Suke, your cannons are under the command of the Enshu Futamata clan Youbei by the river. Follow us and march forward for the army!"

For the army to march forward, it is not just about using cannons to clear the way, and then cavalry to charge those who are not killed. This is basically the level of a crowd. In this way, there is no collapse. Although the possibility is relatively small, at most, the whole army will be pressed head-on.

…………

"Yikui people are charging forward again!" Qi Gui had a long flag of sunlight and moonlight on his back, which was very conspicuous in the army.

"Stick to the formation and fight back with iron cannons, bows and arrows."

"By the way, if Yikui's crowd retreats, no pursuit is allowed, just stay here!" Xiao Pingtai waved the green bamboo stick and commanded calmly. It didn't matter because there were several times the Yikui's crowd surrounding him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!..."

Suddenly there was a violent sound of gunfire from the other end of Sasao Suwa's mouth!

"One blow and everyone is defeated..." Aneshan Meixue calmly said this.

"Haha..." Xiaopingta ignored him, but jumped off the horse and beat the drum violently.

The rear of Yi Kui Zhong was suddenly shelled, and they were shaken for a while. Not long after, the second round of shelling arrived again, and this time the sound was heard particularly clearly. Accompanied by increasingly clearer and clearer shouts of killing, the small sea of ​​flags from Yamauchi Eryinliang appeared.

"It was me, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, who was the first to attack the enemy!"

A little further away, Honda Tadakatsu, the brave warrior of an army, appears! He has a long flag with the character "Ben" on his back, a deer antlers on his head and a standing pocket on his side, holding a dragonfly cutter in his hand. He is dressed in black and powerful with five carcasses, a black horse under his crotch, and a small flag holder behind him, holding Zhong Kui's horse seal.

"Since Heihachi is here! Koheita! You can go too!" Seeing that Kanhara Yasumasa was eager to try, he naturally let him go out with him.

"I am Koheita Yasumasa Sakakibara, the forerunner of the Koji clan. I will not kill unknown people under my spear!" Mounting a red horse, holding a red spear, wearing a dark blue Weinan Mando armor, and with a "Wu" flag on his back, Kanhara Yasumasa was also majestic.

These two tall men, one killed from north to south, and the other chopped from south to north. Although they were young, they were extremely brave and soon killed the Ina Munpu reserve troops who were blocking them!

Amid the rumbling of artillery and the smoke of gunpowder, Heiroku's Sunlight and Moonlight horse emblem also appeared on the main road of Suwaguchi. The foot soldiers with long spears lined up in a queue and marched in unison to the sound of the exciting drums.

The Ikki had almost no power to fight. The dozens of shells fired earlier had already made the Ikki crowded at the Suwaguchi entrance panic. Now that Yamauchi's "tens of thousands of troops" had arrived, how could they hold out?

"It's better to meet in person than to hear about him! He is truly the unrivaled warrior of the two, Aye-Koji!"

"Hahahahaha, thank you!" Hearing the praise from Anayama Baiyuki, Kobayata laughed out loud.

"Nanagi, spread out your formation and prepare to chase!"
