When Kobayakawa Takakei led a large army to the Nozu place not far from Fukuyama Castle. www.biquge.info The Kuroda family's army, which had already taken Fukuyama Castle and had been repaired, had already set up their headquarters on a hill north of the Nozu region, and had already lined up at the foot of the mountain to meet the enemy, as if they were just waiting for the Kobayakawa family to come here to fight.

Seeing such a scene, Kobayakawa Takakei said to himself: "Kuroda Vocational High School is really confident!" ”

It is precisely because the Kuroda family seems to have been prepared for a long time that Kobayakawa Takakei, who had already suffered a loss at the hands of the Kuroda family, did not ask to fight immediately for the sake of prudence. Instead, the advance of the Maori army was stopped in time.

Since preparing for the First World War in China last year, the Mori family has also specially convened important ministers to sit together and discuss the various arrangements and tactical applications of the Kuroda family throughout the battle, including the Kuroda family's combat style, including how the Kuroda family advanced quickly, flooded Matsuyama Castle, Senwa Castle, Bizen Naval Battle, Tsurushou Castle Siege and so on.

In the end, the Maori family came to the conclusion that the Kuroda family was a scheming person, and in addition to the fact that the Ming navy had a large number of advanced Ming ships, which was indeed amazing in combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's foot soldiers was also debatable. After all, in the case of such a good opportunity in Senyu Castle and the flooding of Matsuyama Castle, the losses of the Maori family can still be bearable, but the Kuroda family did not come to pursue, which can only show that the Kuroda family's combat effectiveness has some problems, and it can only be balanced by intrigue and trickery, so the title of Kuroda's weak army has spread.

If Kuroda knew that because of his own caution, the Maori family misunderstood the low combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's soldiers, it is estimated that he would wake up laughing in his own dreams. The more the Mori family could not correctly understand the actual combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's army, the easier it was for the Kuroda family to defeat the Mori family's army. Of course, the title of this weak army can only be wronged by his own soldiers for a while longer.

Since this view is in place, the Kuroda family should not be strong in foot combat. And now the army of the Kuroda family has put on a posture of fighting with themselves head-on, which is not in line with the analysis of the Kuroda family's combat effectiveness, since this is not in line with common sense, should there be any conspiracy waiting for Kuroda Vocational High School! Kobayakawa Takakei thought a little apprehensively at this time.

After discussing with everyone for a while, they still couldn't agree on it, and in the end, Kobayakawa Takakei was cautious and sent out a dozen small works to investigate the surrounding situation. Regarding the arrangement of Kobayakawa Takakei and the movements of the Maori family, Kuroda Vocational High School is completely in sight, but the Kuroda family is not prepared to deal with it this time, just wait for the opponent to attack.

Soon, all the Hosaku sent out by Kobayakawa Takakei came back to tell that everything around was normal, and no Kuroda family was found to have any ambushes or other means. In this way, after making sure that there was no ambush around, Kobayakawa Takashi breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that there is no ambush, that is to say, Kuroda Vocational High School should at least not use any tactics!

According to the intelligence, the Kuroda family only has 3,000 people in the battle this time, although it is very certain that there will be a lot of losses if they capture the strong ones, but I heard that in Fukatsu County, except for the Ueno family, all the other wealthy families are 25 boys, so the Kuroda family's power is basically 3,000 people. If it is really a head-to-head duel, the possibility of winning is still very high, after all, he has 5,000 people, and he has an absolute advantage in numbers, and he is very confident in the combat effectiveness of his own 100-man cavalry team.

Since he had made up his mind to fight head-on with the Kuroda family, Kobayakawa Takakei waved his hand, and 5,000 people immediately set up a position, Funaki Tsunemoto, Hiraga Takakei and several samurai of the Kobayakawa family, Ikuguchi Takahei, Nomi Sokatsu, Oka Keitaka, Bao Jiu Keikatsu, Koizumi Kogoro and others also consciously occupied the left and right flanks with their own subordinates, waiting for the start of the battle.

The Kuroda family stood at the forefront of the entire team, and it was still the long-range troops that the Kuroda family was proud of, and this time the Kuroda Vocational High School of Bigo Province only brought two hundred crossbows this time. After all, I don't want to cause a big war, so Kuroda Vocational High School thinks that two hundred people are enough.

It should be mentioned here that with the efforts of Kuroda Vocational High School, Li Sanbao and Dawn Nobuen for a period of time, the three of them worked together to improve the simple hand crossbow used by the Kuroda family before.

The first was to add a handle under the crossbow, and at the same time move the trigger to the front of the handle, similar to the design of the handle of the pistols of later generations, which was of course a shameless invention of Kuroda Vocational High School. However, it is true that this will be easier for the crossbow ashigaru to hold the crossbow, and the ashigaru will be easier to operate.

Secondly, they improved the crossbow string, using more powerful ox tendon to make, instead of the previous hemp rope, this change not only increased the power of the crossbow, but also increased the range, now the range of the Kuroda crossbow has been increased to one hundred and twenty steps, the effective range of eighty steps, so far purely in terms of performance, it has been comparable to the Ming fire.

The two hundred crossbows were holding the newly equipped hand crossbows, looking at the enemy excitedly, they had been pressed by the fire team before, and even reduced to the point of going to the city to pick up leaks, they were absolutely unconvinced in their hearts, and now they could finally raise their eyebrows, and the opportunity to prove themselves was in front of them.

And at the forefront of Kobayakawa's army is the cavalry team of the 100 Kobayakawa family led by Takahei Ikuguchi, this 100 cavalry team is the treasure of Kobayakawa Takakei, and because it was a water battle before, there was no chance to play. Now it's a land war, so naturally we have to take them out and show the Kuroda family the strength of the Maori family.

Seeing that the opposite side is a horse riding team, crossbow foot light does not have any psychological discomfort, whether it is walking or riding, isn't it an enemy? Just shoot them with a crossbow.

Takahei Ikuguchi drew out his katana, slowly urged the war horse under his crotch, and pointed in the direction of the Kuroda family's army and shouted: "Kill"

"Kill, kill, kill," all the hundred horsemen of the Kobayakawa family's horseback team shouted loudly.

"The horseback riding team has a very good momentum!" Kuroda pointed in the direction of the cavalry and said with a smile to the attendants around him.

When the Kobayakawa Army's cavalry entered the range of one hundred and twenty paces, the Kuroda family's crossbowshigaru Kotou was not conservative, after all, it was facing a horse riding team, not an ordinary ashigaru. If you wait until you are 80 paces before shooting, you may be directly attacked by the cavalry team! This is something that crossbowfoot light who wants to prove himself absolutely cannot tolerate.
