Rushing to the barricade, Yoshikawa Motoharu's bravery and fierceness finally exploded completely, he howled without hesitation, brandished the vermilion spear in his hand and rode a short horse to rush out first, and the cavalry behind him also roared and sprinted. The three waves of spears have consumed all the reserves, and the general of the pikemen, Taoshan Zhenbei, looked at the steady stream of Yoshikawa troops, and gave an order with a solemn and low face: "The pikemen meet the battle, prepare!" The Spear Team's Ashigaru immediately took a diagonal step back, and one of Date Masata's strange summer reforms, the three-room-long spear stabbed straight forward.

Yes, the people of the powerful and powerful countries in China generally used two guns and two and a half guns, and the Yata family also used long guns of different lengths captured at the beginning, and some of them were even only able to guard or were used indoors One and a half guns were also filled in the array, which seemed quite unusual. One of the reforms in the summer is the unified use of three guns, originally Mashiro wanted to use the pit viper Saito Michisan, the sixth day of the demon king Oda Nobunaga raised the three and a half guns, but the three guns themselves are already a huge burden for the weak Japanese country Ashigaru, and it is even more difficult to carry the three and a half guns into an army.

Now, in the troubled times of the Warring States period, only Saito Michizo of Mino Province used three and a half guns, and the other Japanese daimyo generally used two and a half guns, and the Maori army mostly used two and a half guns, and in the late Warring States period, due to Oda Nobunaga's promotion, the later period was mainly used with three guns, and at the time of the Battle of Sekigahara, it was a forest of three guns.

The three guns in his hand are all resistant, and once the enemy line arrives, they will hold it up. Holding three guns for a long time was a huge burden for the weak Japanese Ashigaru, and even the strongest warrior could not hold three guns all the time. In order to solve the problem of center of gravity. Zheng Heng installed a cloth handle made of strips of cloth on the bottom of the spear to stabilize the center of gravity.

Soon, Taoshan Zhenbei's order was conveyed, and with the order of a famous ashigaru captain, immediately five hundred yellow ashigaru shouldered their spears and stabbed straight ahead, lined up in three rows, their formation was quite loose, but the interval was almost the same, mostly about one person between each other. With the three guns in their hands, they stared at the enemy cavalry that was about to charge.

For the three guns in his hand, the Date family's Ashigaru was quite difficult to adapt to at the beginning, but when practicing the confrontation, relying on the long spear in his hand, he was able to defeat the same number of opponents with short spears when he was not in hand-to-hand combat, giving them a clear psychological advantage.

In addition, several barricades made of bamboo branches are covered with spikes, and it is terrifying to look at. In order to strengthen the blocking force and lethality, the barricades are deliberately thickened and heightened, and the jumping barricades are really a flattering thing for ponies with a shoulder height of no more than one meter two.

Relying on your body to break through the barricades, you really look up to the pony of the Wa Kingdom, and the pony weighs hundreds of pounds. If a person wears heavier armor and then sits on it, he will be crushed directly, let alone charge, if he wants to learn from the Celestial Empire to form a heavy cavalry, hehe, it is better to kill and eat meat to be realistic.

The horses of the riding teams of the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom were generally bare-chested. Add a saddle to the top of the sky, and put on a glorious cloth garment. I heard that Yamauchi Kazutoyo won the favor of Oda Nobunaga because of his ingenuity, and let it break through the roadblocks with such a donkey-like pony with its unprotected body, which can only show that the guy riding it is a madman, or a madman who does not want to die.

At the military meeting before the war, the enemy thought that the moment the enemy rushed to the barricade would be a good opportunity to kill and injure them in large numbers, and at the same time, he could also accumulate the morale and hand-to-hand combat ability of his own soldiers. An army that is always victorious, to put it bluntly, wins one victory after another to build invincible self-confidence and develop the so-called military spirit. For example, Takeda Shingen's Akabei was fought one battle after another, and even the profligacy of the loser Takeda Katsuyori made Oda Nobunaga, who was already extremely prosperous at that time, have to avoid its edge and use the geographical advantage to exhaust Akabei's vitality.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and the three waves of throwing guns delayed the attack of the cavalry team, and Yoshikawa Motoharu could not be so close again, and once he was so close, he once again waved his advantage and rushed through the barricade to directly injure the yellow soldiers standing behind the barricade, and he could only use the Zhu handle spear to chop the barricade that was sluggish in advance, trying to break through a gap, and directly kill the general, only by rushing into the formation, with the impact of the cavalry, he would definitely be able to break through the formation, and once the formation was broken, the left and right wings of the ashigaru would be able to divide and encircle and achieve the final victory. Obviously, his plan was good, but Huang Bei would not let him calmly chop the barricades and rush into the formation to kill indiscriminately as he wished.

Taoshan Zhenbei watched the enemy cavalry rush to the barricade and slashed one after another, and shouted in a deep voice again: "Stab to the left!" In an instant, the one hundred and fifty yellow soldiers in the front row immediately took a step forward, and at the same time, the three guns stabbed fiercely towards the left front, and the sound of the guns breaking through the air was unusually sharp and tearing through the sky.

Yoshikawa Motoharu's armor was obviously much more ornate than the other cavalrymen, and the mere fact that he was holding a long-lance with a red handle could tell that he was extraordinary, not to mention that there was also a general in the yellow armor who was staring at him with red eyes, obviously receiving special care, and the three spears in the vicinity all stabbed at him and his mount.

Yoshikawa Motoharu is very good, the right hand of the Zhu handle spear hit a rightmost three guns to make the direction of the spear offset, yes, it is to beat, the most common way to attack the ashigaru spear in the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom is to raise the gun high and then knock the spear towards the front, with the help of centrifugal force to give the opponent a fatal blow, he obviously does not want to kill the opponent just don't want to be stabbed, knock open the rightmost spear, pull the reins with his left hand, turn the horse's head and flash a spear, But the last of the three spears, which did not obey the order and stabbed straight to the right, stabbed the pony in the neck.

In an instant, the pony hissed, and blood splattered out along with the wound in the thorn, and the head of the gun was usually engraved with a blood groove called a pickaxe, which could reduce weight while keeping the head strong and could reduce weight rather than play the role of bloodletting, and the three guns of the Date family were no exception.

Yoshikawa Motoharu was fortunately, but the mount was seriously injured and I was afraid that he would not survive, he just jumped off and looked left and right in disbelief, because the yellow Bei of the Date family delayed the attack for a while, so that all the horseback team under his command thought that the enemy was afraid, and rushed to the barricade to open the gap to fight for victory, so that the originally neat formation was suddenly chaotic. The lethality of the 150 spears was too powerful, and the screams were terrible to the extreme. Like Motoharu Yoshikawa, there are more people who have lost their mounts.

Taoshan Zhenbei looked at the enemy with great excitement, if it weren't for the barricade to block it, they were afraid that they would have to charge out, the barricade became their biggest source of courage, and it also became an obstacle for them to charge out, too powerful, the power of the three guns is too strong, in fact, if the courage is enough at this moment, the power of using the two guns is greater, but it is more direct to face the enemy horse, and the psychological pressure will be greater.

Seeing that hundreds of horsemen had been stabbed, Taoshan Zhenbei frantically shouted: "Draw your gun!" ”

One hundred and fifty people drew the three guns with great force, and the blood gushed like a spring, spraying blood, nearly a hundred horsemen fell in front of the barricade, some were still hanging on the barricade, the land in front of the barricade was all stained red, hundreds of horsemen fell like defeat6 continued to fall in front of the barricade, blood gushed out from the wounds, most of them did not directly lose their breath, struggling in pain and wailing in the hope that their companions could give him a good time, his companions all looked at the front in a daze, there was no light in their eyes, no one thought that it would be such a simple and direct death.

Dead, all dead. Nearly 100 horsemen fell in a pool of blood, and the entire battlefield came to a standstill in an instant. Tao Shan Zhenbei's deep voice sounded again: "The first row is back, and the second row is up!" His order was quickly carried out, and with good training, the pikemen of the first platoon took a big step back, and the fresh troops of the second platoon stood again in their staggered positions.

Taoshan Zhenbei shouted in a deep voice: "Forward, stab!" The second row of yellow guards, who had long been timid, stabbed out three guns, and the cavalrymen who had not yet reacted were instantly stabbed forty or fifty horsemen, and hundreds of ponies that had been hard to get were already neighing and falling in a pool of blood, and the blood from the wounds on their bodies kept flowing out.

At this moment, the battle situation has completely turned to Date's side, if it weren't for the Maori army on the left and right flanks not chaotic at all, and the Bigo Coalition Army behind him would have no intention of retreating, plus a new force composed of 500 foot light troops rushed from the direction of Yuno again, and the political balance that was stuck on the cliff was deliberately giving up his original plan to attack.

Yoshikawa Motoharu's subordinate general Ninomiya Haruhisa couldn't believe what he saw, the Yoshikawa cavalry, who had always regarded himself very highly, was defeated and defeated by the enemy, he saw Yoshikawa Motoharu standing in front of the danger, hurriedly pulled a lone pony and rushed up, and shouted: "Get on the horse!" As he spoke, he split a sudden three-gun gun, and the sound of weapons colliding woke up Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was still in chaos.

Ninomiya Haruhisa is a general under Yoshikawa Motoharu, due to well-known reasons did not enter the public eye and gradually disappeared in the torrent of history, it seems that his reputation is not obvious, but now he is one of the best generals in the Maori family, and Maori Yuan even married his concubine Yada to him as a woo.

Oh, when it comes to Ninomiya Chun, it is difficult for someone to get acquainted with him, and when it comes to his cheap son Ninomiya Yuchen, everyone must have an influence, yes, it is the illegitimate son of Maori Motoshi. Ninomiya Chunjiu was not ashamed, but proud, and willingly served as the father of Ninomiya, so he also got his wish from an outsider.
