Chapter 740 21. Ming Wulang Fights with Determination

Sasa Narimasa stood behind the fence and saw Kanai Aigoro, who was hiding behind the crowd, finally preparing to charge, and shouted excitedly.

The Portuguese guns that Nobunaga had mobilized also went through untold hardships and were carried on his shoulders to the front of the battle. As Sasa Narimasa shouted, the Portuguese guns on the earthen platform immediately fired.

It was also because Kanai Aigoro was wearing such dazzling clothes. The southern barbarian uniform covered with gold foil was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes when the rising sun shone on it. But there was nothing to do about it. Nowadays, everyone's armor is becoming more and more gorgeous and eye-catching.

The wars of the past few hundred years were wars between samurai nobles. As long as the samurai rode on horses and circled around shooting bows and arrows, it would be fine. At most, the scope was expanded to the followers of the same family. It was really like brothers fighting together and fathers and sons fighting together.

The situation is different now. Wars are expanding and becoming more civilianized. Any man may be passively involved in wars. It is too difficult to expect these small farmers who have been living on weeds all their lives to recognize the flags and drums and distinguish the generals.

It is better to wear something more showy, so that the whole army can recognize it more easily!

After the three sub-guns finished shooting, the smoke became thicker. Many places were originally covered by smoke due to the continuous firing of iron cannons, and now there are Portuguese guns.

"How is it! How is it!" Sasa Chengzheng naturally cares about whether he has achieved results.

No one answered him! Because although there were cries of being shot in the smoke, the particularly dazzling "Scarlet" still jumped forward, and the two knives in his hands turned like flying!

"Charge! Charge!" Kanai Akigoro shouted loudly with the knife in his hand as a banner.

Surrounding him were hundreds of elite standing guards who were heading to the front. Although they were hit by fierce artillery fire, only a few people fell and Kanai Akigoro was unscathed.

With Gui Jinjing in the battle, as long as the death rate does not exceed 5%, this elite feudal army will not collapse!

"This!" Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him couldn't believe it. After being hit by three rounds of Portuguese cannons, this man was fine and rushed forward.

"Hanbei, there won't be any bullet-proof Daimyojin in this world, right?"

"Huh? No..." Takenaka Shigeharu, who was standing next to Hashiba Hideyoshi, frowned. Although he said there shouldn't be, he himself was not very sure.

There are eight million gods in the sky, who knows if there really is a bullet-proof Daimyojin? Hashiba Hideyoshi thought that after this battle, he would go home and find a priest to ask, if there is, he would donate a shrine and worship it.

"It's me, Kanai Aigoro Hideharu, who came to ask for advice!" As the two were thinking, Kanai Aigoro's loud shout had already been heard.

"What are you two still standing there for!" Hosuka Masakatsu raised a gun and ran towards the fence.

Now Hashiba Hideyoshi was a wealthy lord, and no one would dare to order him around like this. But Hachisuka Masakatsu was different. He was Hideyoshi's friend from poverty, and the two of them had been poor together. It is said that in history, even when Toyotomi Hideyoshi had replaced Nobunaga as the ruler of the world, except for Azhong, only Hachisuka Masakatsu still called Hiyoshi by his nickname.

Others were silent when they heard this, but Hideyoshi laughed and didn't care. Later, when Hachisuka Masakatsu was to be appointed as the lord of Awa Province, Hachisuka Masakatsu bluntly said that he would not do it, and would rather stay with Hideyoshi as a scribe than accept the reward of a country.

In the end, it was his son Hachisuka Iemasa who became a feudal lord, and Masakatsu served Hideyoshi until his death. In fact, this pair can be regarded as a good match between the monarch and the minister, and a good story has been passed down.

"What Xiaoliu said is right, what Xiaoliu said is right." Hideyoshi was not annoyed at all. He took the spear handed over by Hosuka Masakatsu and went to the fence to urge the soldiers to resist.

Fortunately, with the addition of 300 iron cannons, Hashiba Hideyoshi did not feel that much pressure. Although Kanai Aigoro was shouting and rushing forward with a knife, he was still very disciplined when he really reached the range of the iron cannon. Bamboo bundles and wooden shields were in front, and there were also people holding bows and iron cannons who fought back from behind the fence.

Previously, there was a gap in the second central horse defense fence. Now there are still dozens of Yamauchi troops struggling to maintain the gap, waiting for the follow-up army to join and expand the gap.

Otherwise, it will not be long before the counterattack of the Oda army from all directions will be exhausted and retreat from the gap!

But Kanai Aigoro was not in a hurry. He has always served as Koheita's deputy general, fought cautiously, and attached great importance to the Oda army in tactics. Moreover, this kind of swordsman has a very firm mind. A normal person would not be scared silly after being hit by a cannon, but at least he would take a break. He went out to the battle as if nothing had happened.

Some things are slow to achieve when haste makes waste!

Hundreds of people finally came to the fence. The iron cannons of the Oda army stopped firing. Foot soldiers with swords and swords rushed forward and stabbed each other with the Yamauchi army who tried to chop and remove the fence.

"Yamauchi Inoemon is here, who dares to fight me!" Someone on the Oda army shouted naturally.

Soon someone came to meet them. The Kanai team was not short of warriors who were good at fighting. Kanai Akigoro went straight to the gap. He wanted to expand the gap to meet the Hosokawa Saijo team that was rushing in behind, so that Hosokawa Saijo's thousand cavalrymen could rush into the Oda formation.

Seeing that Kanai Akigoro was not afraid of even the Portuguese, Oda Nobunaga on the stage was a little bit unbelievable. There was actually a general who charged into the artillery fire and was unscathed.

"Yasuke, shoot at that gap!" Nobunaga pointed with his green bamboo stick.

"The enemy and us are mixed together, do we really have to shoot?" Ota Ushiichi was a little doubtful when he saw the gap was mixed with soldiers from both sides.

"If we kill Jin Jing, then he will die a worthy death. What's wrong with that?" Nobunaga didn't care about the lives of those soldiers. At this point, why would he care so much?

Jin Jing Ming Goro, who thought he only needed to take care of the swords and guns in front of him, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. When he looked up, the two shells in his pupils were infinitely magnified.

Many years of battlefield experience allowed Jin Jing Ming Goro to react immediately, but no matter how fast a person is, he can't be faster than a shell. At the moment when Jin Jing Ming Goro fell, a shell fell at his feet.

Another shell fell in the gap without distinguishing between friend and foe! More than ten people on both sides died in the bombardment in an instant. Seeing this hellish scene, the Yamanouchi army finally collapsed. Two trusted family members came forward to drag Jin Jing Ming Goro to retreat.

But when they looked at Jin Jing Ming Goro again, they saw that one of his legs was smashed, and the horrible wound revealed the white bone stump.

"Very good, I will show you that I was an Ashigaru before I became a general, and I still am! An Ashigaru who hasn't died in battle at the age of 30 is a waste!"

After saying that, Kanai Aigoro actually held his sword on the ground and limped on to the gap. The ashamed soldiers hurried forward and stood beside him. A family member held up the "five" flag and shouted for a fierce battle. The retreating soldiers changed their colors and attacked all the Oda troops in sight with swords, guns, fists, and even teeth.

The center took the lead and broke through the two-stage horse fence!
