Chapter 55: Pit teammates
For example, the Tongxin people said that the Sagara family not only had a 100-person Taidao team, but also a 300-person horseback team, which was hidden among thousands of people and horses at this time, and it was very well protected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the brothers of Tongxin who looked very carefully, they would never have been able to find their traces.
As the right wing of the coalition army, the Aso family, in addition to the three hundred cavalry team, also hid an iron cannon of fifty people, this team is also hidden in the team of the Aso family, all of them are mixed in the personal guard of the Aso general, and it is also very well protected.
And the Ito family, which is the last of the entire southern Kyushu coalition army, although it was defeated by the Shimazu family in Kisakihara before, but after all, it is the perennial overlord of Hyuga country, and the background is not ordinarily thick.
In the Ito family's team, there is a cavalry team of 200 people, but the owner of this cavalry team is the famous wall-riding faction, and Oyamada Nobushige has a fight with Mira Juki, and there is also a 100-man iron cannon team composed of the Shimazu family's iron cannon.
At this moment, after the trump cards were revealed and the true strength of the coalition army was clarified, the number of cavalry of the coalition army reached 800 people, and there were 650 iron artillery teams, which was already a very powerful combat force in this era.
At least after counting these strengths, the strength of the Southern Kyushu Coalition Army is no longer inferior to the current strength of the Kuroda family. The Kuroda family had an unconventional means of striking with 700 crossbows and 800 firearms. If it were just these soldiers, facing the same number of iron artillery and cavalry of the coalition army, it was likely to lose the final battle.
However, the most favorable situation for the Kuroda family is that these combat forces are not gathered together, but scattered among the various families that cannot work together, otherwise the Kuroda family will really go crazy.
For example, the cavalry of the Ito family will never rescue the soldiers of the Shimazu family until the critical moment, and they will definitely not attack easily, even Ito Yoshiyu himself cannot easily command this team, after all, it is the private property of Mira, so this cavalry can actually be skipped temporarily.
According to the description of the intelligence, the iron artillery team of the Shimazu family has divided into two teams of the same number and walked to the front of the two wings, and it seems that they are ready to help the Sagara family and the Aso family on both wings to open up the situation. The iron artillery team that cannot be gathered together will inevitably be greatly reduced because of the problem of the hit rate of the iron cannon itself.
The Kuroda family currently has 1,500 firecrackers and 200 crossbows, and after discussing with Ide and Takenaka Shigeharu, it was decided that the Chinese army would leave a hundred firearms and send 700 people on each wing, and the crossbows would remain in the Chinese army.
After the two wings of the Kuroda family were replaced, it was still Hanafang Masayuki who sat on the right wing, because there are really not many people in the Kuroda family who can lead the army alone, but fortunately, Hanafang Masayuki is one.
As the leader of the left wing, it was Iate Tomokiyo, who, at the request of Shigeharu Takenaka, deliberately assigned Inoue Nobo to him as the army of the left wing, and through the combination of literature and martial arts, the possibility of mistakes was reduced.
When the soldiers of the Shimazu family erected three spears, the other four members of the coalition army knew why the Shimazu family had to cut wood before, which was really shameless! The purpose of using a spear with such an attack distance but a lot less lethality is to minimize your own losses!
The other four families are not fools, they have completely understood the purpose of the Shimazu family at this time, and in this critical period of life and death, they are still thinking of tricks to keep their own people and horses for the subsequent conquest of the other four, which makes the heads of the other four families very despised.
"Shameless bastards." Ito Yoshisuke shouted, but no matter how much he shouted, only his subordinates could hear it, and the people of the Shimazu family couldn't hear it.
For what the Shimazu family did, Kai Muneun was also quite disgusted, he knew that the moment the three spears were shown from the Shimazu family, the entire coalition army had actually dispersed, and the Aso family could not really put all their net worth into it for the sake of the Shimazu family's Satsuma country.
So Jia Fei Zongyun was decisive for the first time, came to the front of General Asu, told his lord his thoughts, and taught him that it should be so, and General Asu did not have any opinion on this, he admired this pen family very much, so he basically obeyed his words.
And Sagara Yoshiyo on the other side saw such a scene, and the corners of his mouth also smiled slightly, the Shimazu family is really still playing smart! He looked at the two hundred and fifty Shimazu family's iron artillery team standing at the forefront of his army, stared at them with cold eyes, and thought to himself that since this is the case, I am sorry for you, damn Satsuma dog.
At the front of the two flanks of the Southern Kyushu coalition was the iron artillery of the Shimazu family, and they quickly advanced to the position of the Kuroda family. On the other side of them, at the front of the Kuroda family's ranks, there seemed to be all spearmen, and they were relieved.
As a result, when they advanced to seventy or eighty paces, and when they were not far from their own range, the Kuroda family's ashigaru moved, and they were still quite confused about this, what was the Kuroda family's ashigaru going to do, did they charge against the family's iron artillery team, were they scared stupid?
But soon they knew what Kuroda Ieshigaru was up to, and instead of moving forward, they made a detour around the sides of the line, then moved backwards and regrouped.
And where they just stood, there was the Kuroda family's firecracker, although there was a slight difference in the appearance of the weapon they were facing, but the Shimazu family's iron artillery team was very familiar, it was the Kuroda family's firecracker, which was a high-end cargo that could shoot seventy paces before.
The Shimazu family's iron artillery team immediately panicked, they knew that they were not the opponent of the Kuroda family's firecracker team, even if they fought the most heroically, in the end, their own side was completely destroyed.
No matter what the soldiers of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team thought, Kiiri Kihisa and Kawakami Tadakatsu, who were the leaders of the two iron artillery teams of the Shimazu family, had only one idea at this time, and the moment they saw the Kuroda family's fire team, they knew that they had to retreat quickly, because they had already entered the range of the Kuroda family.
It's just that when they just wanted to turn around, the first salvo of the Kuroda family had already been completed, and more than a dozen Shimazu family iron cannons fell lightly at the moment of turning.
However, at this time, there were nearly 100 elite soldiers of the Sagara family and the Aso family on each wing, blocking behind the Shimazu family's iron artillery team.
"The lord has an order, only forward, not backward, violators of the order will be beheaded."
