Chapter 48 Dealing with the Horse Riding Team
"The family has a fire team of 800 people, and a crossbow foot light team of 700 people, even if it is only a crossbow foot light team, it is not comparable to the iron artillery team of the Shimazu family, so as long as we deal with it carefully. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Moreover, with the cooperation of the same people of the family, when dealing with the battlefield on the battlefield, we can also know the direction of the attack of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team in advance, and can prepare accordingly in advance, as long as we can attack before them, the long-range soldiers of the family will definitely not lose.
In the next view, the real trouble is actually the cavalry team of the Aso family, the cavalry is good at speed, once it runs, it looks like thunder, as long as it can raise the speed, even if the number is only three hundred, it is basically difficult to defeat. In particular, the cavalry comes and goes freely, and has an extremely powerful impact force, which can easily disrupt the entire formation, which is extremely unfavorable to combat and will greatly damage the morale of our army. Our biggest question now is how to deal with the Aso family's horseback team.
The lord once said that the best way to deal with cavalry, and it was relatively effective, was to use large-scale long-range weapons to shoot at them. Horses are easily frightened animals, as long as there can be a large number of firearms to shoot together, the momentum caused by it is enough to make the horses very frightened, as long as the opponent horse is frightened, it will inevitably lead to the chaos of the whole team, this is the best way for us to break the enemy.
But the lord also mentioned that for horses to be frightened, many experienced horse breeders will put on armor such as ear protection for horses, which can enhance their tolerance to sound attacks, for example, the lord knows that there is a horse equipment called iron ear covering, as long as you can wear this iron ear, the horse can be isolated from the external sound to the greatest extent. We hope that the sound of the firebolt will not be able to shock the opposing horse.
The firecracker team can fight, but if you want to increase the lethality of this weapon, the most important thing is distance, and only with distance can we produce the maximum damage, and achieve our goal of blocking the horseback team, and this is exactly what it is very difficult to do when facing the horseback team.
In the face of the cavalry, the ordinary foot soldiers of the family have basically never seen the cavalry, so they don't know how to fight the cavalry, which is the most headache. And it is also a matter of the power of the cavalry, if the infantry against the cavalry, if they cannot reduce their speed, it will eventually become a one-sided slaughter.
This time, the horseback team of the family is still training, and the horses are not in place, so they can not come to help, which is indeed a big pity, otherwise after the three hundred horseback team of the family is trained, in the case of the same number of people, the endurance and charging ability of the horses of the family are stronger, there is absolutely no problem, but now we can only rely on ourselves to solve this problem.
But then again, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Inoue-sama also knows that anything can happen, and hoping to use the fire gun to frighten the horses is just the best idea, if the enemy has something similar to the iron ear, then we can only use the fire gun team to fight the opponent.
As mentioned below, the most fatal problem for us is the attack distance of our firearms, the farthest attack distance is only one hundred and twenty steps, and the effective attack distance is eighty steps, such a shooting distance, it is easy to say when facing foot soldiers, but in the face of the cavalry team, even if we use multi-stage shooting, each team's firearms are basically only one chance to attack. In this case, how to slow down the horse and increase the number of rounds as much as possible becomes a very important issue. ”
If Kuroda Vocational High School himself is in this place, to be honest, it really isn't a problem to slow down the speed of the horses, after all, he has the advantage of hundreds of years of knowledge, plus the baptism of YY novels, everything is fine.
As far as Kuroda himself knows, there are at least three ways to deal with cavalry, albeit at the cost of some casualties. But if it's just these people in the big tent, because of the limitations of historical knowledge, it is really difficult to come up with a way to deal with it, so that the horses can slow down.
"Since you can't think of any good way, then it seems that when the time comes, you can only let some of the spears cooperate to find a way to resist the attack of the horses and protect the family's firecrackers." Shigeharu Takenaka said.
When Shigeharu Takenaka said this, everyone knew that this so-called part of the spears that went up to resist the cavalry attack was ashigaru, and these soldiers would become the outcasts of the Kuroda family in order to defeat the cavalry of the Aso family.
However, everyone is already accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so it is still acceptable for such a thing, as long as you can achieve the final victory, you always have to pay some price. They have experienced a lot of such things, and they have seen a lot.
"There is one more thing, that is, the southern Kyushu coalition side will definitely not send their iron artillery team and horse cavalry team at the beginning, which also includes the Marume family's Taidao team, because these will be their secret weapons at that time, so the corresponding offensive means of the family at that time will also be used as a secret weapon, and it cannot be placed in the front, but it cannot be placed in the main formation of the rear team.
At that time, the family's firearms and crossbows, and Taidao teams will all be placed in the front position of the Chinese army. And at that time, the concentric people and the military must be completely mobilized, and once the three elite teams of the other party are found, they will immediately make corresponding arrangements. ”
"In that case, things will be decided first, we are now the party that temporarily profits, plus we still have a certain advantage in waiting for work, and the soldiers are elite. So when you're on the battlefield, it's good to be improvised. As long as the opposing coalition can be defeated this time, Minami Kyushu will not be a problem. Imate said with a smile, looking very confident.
At this time, in the original residence of the Ryogari family, which is also the temporary residence of Shimazu Yoshihisa, a meeting is also going on.
The meeting was attended by Shimazu Yoshihisa, behind whom stood the returning Shimazu Iehisa, Sagara Yoshiyo behind Marimome Semi, Aso Yuisho behind Kai Muneun, Ito Yoshisuke behind Nagakura Yumasa, and Kitahara Tadazawa behind Kosakagaki Tadashi.
These are the five daimyo who attended the meeting, and there were only two people in each family in the secret room in the castle, who came to discuss the issue of attacking the Kuroda family later.
