Chapter 134: The Maori Family's Iron Artillery Team
After a short break, the Mori family was attacked by the vanguard Awaya Motodori. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suya Mototsu is a retainer under the command of the Maori family, and he is also a powerful wealthy family in the Anyun country. He is now middle-aged, and it is the time of his life to be middle-aged and strong. He was also known for his martial arts in the Mori family, and he participated in the Mori family's strategy against the Ouchi family's Zhou and Nagashu prefectures, the Niko's attack on the Iwami country, including the invasion of the Bigo country, and the battle against the Kuroda family's Bichugoku.
Along with Awaya Mototsu, there are also his younger brother Awaya Noshin and sister-in-law Awaya Motoding, both of whom are also in the army at the moment. After receiving the order, Awaya Mototsu immediately led his 300 men and began to launch the first round of tentative attacks on Fukuyama Castle.
Even if the Kuroda family only had 7,000 people here, it would be a pipe dream to attack Fukuyama Castle with only 300 people. In fact, Mao Li Yuan knew very well that he didn't want Su Ya Yuan to send him to death, or to kill people with a knife or something.
Mao Liyuan mainly wanted to see the firepower of the Kuroda family, he had been fighting with the Kuroda family for so long, he knew very well the strength of the Kuroda family's long-range firepower, and his family's ordinary Maruki bow was not the opponent of the Kuroda family's crossbow at all.
Mori Yuan wanted to know the approximate number of long-range soldiers that the Kuroda family had invested here, the number of casualties that each round of attacks could bring to his side, and the details of the frequency of shooting. He felt that as long as he figured this out, his chances of defeating Iate Yushi were much greater.
As a result, as soon as Awaya Mototsu led the team to rush forward, the Kuroda family only fired a salvo at the maximum effective range, causing nearly twenty casualties. After nearly half a minute, the second round of shooting again brought nearly 20 casualties to Awaya Mototsu's team.
After this shooting by the Kuroda family, Awaya Mototsu finally retreated, and at the cost of nearly eighty of his own people, he got the answer that Mori Mototo wanted.
Mori Yuan judged that the Kuroda family had at least two hundred crossbow ashigaru here, which was also the same as the actual number of crossbow ashigaru in the Kuroda family. And the range was at least seventy paces, far exceeding the range of his own Maruki bow, and the interval between each round was no more than a minute.
The Maori family's long-range attack on the Kuroda family this time was not unprepared. This time, the Mori family purchased dozens of powerful iron cannons from a large merchant called Hikariya in Sakai Town. And this purchase was realized under the strong auspices of Maori Huiyuan.
For Maori Huiyuan's behavior of buying iron cannons at a high price, Maori Yuan was extremely opposed at the beginning, and a piece of iron cannon was indeed much cheaper than other iron cannons on the market that exceeded 100 yuan, but with these thousands of yuan, it was completely possible to organize a team of nearly 1,000 Maruki bows.
However, after buying it back, Mao Liyuan still watched the trial of the iron cannon, dozens of iron cannons, each of which can exert earth-shattering momentum, and can make a big hole in the grass target, and it is scorched. Imagine what kind of effect it would have if you hit an enemy in the head.
After watching the test firing, Mori Moto changed his understanding of the iron cannon, and he also gave a high opinion of this weapon that was not the spirit of bushido. And also praised Maori Huiyuan, praised him for knowing current affairs, being able to keep pace with the times, and being the future of the Maori family, which made Maori Huiyuan also very happy.
For these dozens of iron cannons, the Maori family thought that this was a divine weapon. However, as you can tell from the name of Hikariya, these iron cannons were sold by the Kuroda family themselves. In fact, these iron cannons are sold cheaply because they are all defective products from the earliest iron cannon team, and there are some defective products after experiments.
Although it does not affect the actual use, the life span is definitely much worse than that of a hundred first-hand goods. However, for these defective products eliminated by the Kuroda family, the Maori family treats them as treasures. In order to deal with the Kuroda family's long-range team, they were all brought to Bigo Province this time, just to give the Kuroda family a big surprise.
After testing the Kuroda family for a while, the Mori family began a second attack, this time with iron cannons.
There are dozens of iron cannons from the Maori family, and there are as many as 300 people who have been prepared for a long time as cannon fodder.
When they came to the Kuroda family's camp under Fukuyama Castle, because the iron cannon ashigaru was all mixed in the bow ashigaru, because of the obstruction of the line of sight, the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers did not know at this time that there would be iron cannons in the Maori family's military formation, so both sides opened fire at a distance of sixty paces at the same time.
The Mori family wanted to harass and injure the Kuroda family's soldiers at the maximum range of the iron cannon, while the Kuroda family's crossbow was ashigaru and wanted to effectively kill at a range of 60 paces.
As a result of the two sides attacking together, the Kuroda family's crossbow fell lightly and three people fell. And the Maori family fell seven or eight people.
The Kuroda family's crossbow ashigaru knew what was going on in an instant, the iron cannon, and the Maori family actually had an iron cannon, because they were too familiar with the movement of the iron cannon.
Since the establishment of the Kuroda family's crossbow ashigaru, because of the long range and strong power of the crossbow, it has rarely been attacked like this, and now the Maori family on the opposite side unexpectedly has dozens of more powerful iron cannons. And three of his companions fell on his side, and they did seem a little surprised!
The Kuroda family's crossbowashiki wasn't afraid of the fact that the Mori family had iron cannons, but when some of the Kuroda family's soldiers fell, they were stunned. Of course, it's just a moment, the soldiers of the Kuroda family, in the more than ten years since the rise of the Kuroda family, have gone through countless wars, and have almost trained their hearts of stone.
They were indeed very angry at the death of their companion, but they knew that now was not the time to be stunned, and they had to find a way to kill the Maori family's iron cannon and avenge their partner.
During the second salvo, the Kuroda family's crossbow Ashigaru desperately searched the crowd for the Mori family's Iron Cannon Ashigaru, because compared to the bow ashigaru, the iron cannon Ashigaru was the only existence that could threaten their safety.
The number of bows on the Maori side is indeed large, and the number of hundreds is indeed terrifying, but the Kuroda family's crossbow ashigaru is an elite ashigaru team with all full body equipment, and it is basically difficult to damage them during the siege, unless it is particularly unlucky and is shot in the uncovered face, or at the junction of the joint.
