17. Always rush forward with a determination
"Yasuichi, have you seen it clearly?" Nobunaga handed over the telescope to a tall man who was accompanying him.
"I'm clear!" The man's answer seemed to be a bull's cry.
Looking closer, it was incredible. This man was dark all over, about 1.8 meters tall, and had fluffy and curly hair. He was a real Mosanpik black man.
As one of the gifts given to Oda Nobunaga by the Jesuit missionary, this black man named Yasuke was obviously proficient in operating the British Kofirin long-barrel cannon in front of him.
In addition to him, two other mixed-race children who were obviously white and indigenous Southeast Asians were also playing with cannons. Although Nobunaga did not have the concept of cannon carts, the three people in front of him were veterans who had been hanging out on merchant ships and warships. They actually equipped two small cannon stands for the two long-barrel cannons and installed small log wheels.
Otherwise, if you just place the cannon on a rice bag at will, you may fire a shot, and the cannon will jump up due to its strong recoil and even hit others.
Now that there is a small cannon stand, it is much easier to deal with, and the recoil problem has been solved. Naturally, you can unscrupulously fire the Yamauchi Army artillery on the other side. With the power of two 8-pound cannons, as long as you hit it, you will be finished.
"Aim at the cannons in the mountain, be sure to destroy their cannons!" Oda Nobunaga was full of confidence.
If he hadn't run to Sakaimachi and saw the cannons on Portuguese merchant ships with his own eyes, he would have never known that the cannons could really be so huge, terrifyingly heavy, about 2,000 pounds, and it would take four bulbs to barely pull them.
According to the smart Nanman merchant who received his 200 gold medals, this thing can be half a mile away, which is 1,500 to 2,000 meters.
Of course, this distance is the limit distance, and even if you play it out, it is just a joke. Just listen to it if you go through one shot and it will be ruined by ten miles. The effective range of the lethality can be basically guaranteed to be about 350 rooms, which is less than 500 meters.
After Gifu test shots, Oda Nobunaga felt that his 200-game verdict was not in vain.
How can I hit five hundred meters!
Now, just use ten fingers to pinch a snail!
The black man Yasuke quickly adjusted the shooting angle and filled all the elements. In Nobunaga's slightly anticipated eyes, Yasuke ignited the fuse.
Two loud bangs, one slightly deviated, and after reaching the side of the Yamanuchi artillery position, the other hit a bronze cannon directly. Due to the huge impact, the hundreds of kilograms of cannons were even lifted up to more than two meters high.
"It's done!" Seeing the result of the battle from the telescope, Nobunaga finally smiled.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was originally in the Kiyotoda formation, suddenly stood up, and the cannon that Yamauchi Jun relied on to make a victory weapon was actually exploded by the Oda Jun.
"Self-Ship Chibasuke quickly retreat!"
"I guess the Gifu bullet has a bigger cannon!" Fujiwara bullet also looked a little shocked.
After all, Yamauchi's original formation was a little panicked. It was originally thought that there would be continuous counterattack artillery fire, but when the artillery soldiers were ordered to retreat, the second round of shooting of the Oda Army arrived.
It is obvious that the Oda Army's artillery fire rate is slower, which is probably one of the shortcomings of heavy artillery.
Although without the support of artillery, the soldiers from various formations in the Yamazu were still attacking the Oda army fiercely. However, it was obvious that they were greatly affected and the rhythm was obviously not as orderly as before.
Everyone in this array looked at Yuan Yinsheng who ran back in a dusty state and the bronze cannon that was smashed by iron bullets, and some unexplainable emotions.
"Did you notice that Gifu's cannons are far away from each other!" Fujiwara cannons, who were always observing the warring sides nervously, did not look at the smashed cannons, but asked questions.
"Hey? It seems that's the case!" Yise Yi recalled.
Now the artillery fire of the Oda Army has also stopped, but the previous few shots were all shooting towards the Yamauchi Army. It was obvious that the front-line fire exchange area was breaking through the second horse barrier, but he had such a big killer but did not use it.
You should know that once Uncle Tsunara broke through the second horse barrier, it was equivalent to being able to directly attack the third formation of Oda's team's defense. Once it broke through, Yamauchi's army rushed into Oda's main formation, and Oda's army would be greatly shaken.
"Since that's the case, order the troops not to be stingy and break through the enemy with the spirit of decisive death!"
If you are far away, you will be bombed, so stick it on it. If you see the flesh, the guns and blood, who will be afraid of whom! Increasing the offensive, the firepower tests and artillery fire coverage of both sides have ended, and there is nothing fancy.
"Okay! Pass the order! All teams are always advancing!" Ashikaga Yoshihara stood up.
The children of the Yamauchi family have never been timid for generations, or if there were timid for some people, the Yamauchi family would have been obscured by the rolling historical trend. Since they have made up their minds to fight to the decisive battle, there is no way out at this time. All the members of the arrogance are all working together, and they only seek the word "win"!
"Zuo Ma Yun, hold my Imperial White Flag and join the team of Cai Nu's uncle, inspire the three armies and be brave and brave!" Ashikaga Yoshijo pointed to the flying Imperial White Flag on the formation.
"Yes!" Murakami Yoshiki tied the Yubai Banner tightly behind him, stepped onto the war horse, and the team of the Banner Box team came out.
Yamakuru's formation suddenly became high, and Yamauchi's Qimoto team began to join the general attack on the Oda army.
If you are lucky, you will die; if you are sure to die, you will live!
Soon, the fifth team of the Hamamoto No. 5, Hidehun Kanei, Nagasawara, Nagamasa of Ogasawara, and Ieyoshi Kawabian, all rushed to send troops, shouting and shouting, and advanced to strengthen the central government's first-hand attack on Hosokawa Kazumi.
In the middle of the defense are Yokoyama people of Hashiba Hideyoshi, Kariya people of Mizuno Nobumoto, and Tokugawa's troops, Yasuga Yoshiga, Torii Mototaki and others.
The pressure suddenly increased!
The Yamanuchi family's banner is always available, and the world is powerful and rare. After decades of war, the clothing and armor are roughly sufficient, and the food and salary are abundant. In addition, the generals of the ranks are all loyal to the Yamanuchi family. They receive the favor of the country in the world and have the help of their hearts, so they are naturally brave and powerful.
Hosokawa Satomi also wore a large shovel-shaped sky-shocking pole and a red feather. He took the lead and commanded the troops to start the attack!
Inspired by Yamauchi's participation in the formation, the front troops, which were originally somewhat disturbed, jumped and leaped. The best-in-armed Akiro Kanei, jumped and rushed forward, and even if any trench fences were not blocked in front of him.
Relying on the rapid pace of Kazuma, Akiro Kanei used his body as a soldier and once again held the Nagano Takura, barefoot on the mud and became faster and faster. When he arrived in front of the Oda Formation, he jumped up in the air.
Bandong Yinliu Wushuang's secret technique - Qihe Slash!
The loud shout followed like a shadow. With a knife, the fence collapsed directly, and the Oda iron cannon behind the fence was divided into two sections. In just a moment, Hideharu Kanei's team actually broke the first formation of the Oda army.
Chapter completed!
