46. ??Cannons shred old authority

Throughout the night, the Uesugi army gathered the defeated troops, stretching for more than a mile, and the northern bank of the Ligen River was defeated.

When the night rain belt moved to the north bank of the Ligen River, it was drizzling. At first, the troops in the mountain camped were fine, but the Uesugi army that fled behind them were miserable. All the supplies and other items were abandoned in Ninja City. People were hungry and trapped, and they were wet from the rain again, and they could not find the dry firewood for a while.

Ten stops, and instantly fell down and stopped three stops.

There was no way, and the next day he used great efforts to rectify the Uesugi Army. Finally, the Uesugi Army was counted and more than 2,000 Uesugi Army were left in Ninja City, and most of them were killed in battle or drowned, so there was no possibility of redemption. The people of the Yue Kingdom suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and Uesugi Gyuto's rule foundation was greatly shaken.

With the help of each army, the Uesugi army re-established its battalion, but it did lose the courage to continue fighting.

Xiaopingtai knew that the current situation was only possible, and then she felt that it was really wise to borrow foreign soldiers.

This section of the Ligen River is more than ten kilometers long, with a total of 15,000 or 6,000 meters. It looks like a long distance, but it is really too many soldiers in Takeda Hojo Alliance. He is still rich when he puts two people in one meter to defend his troops.

It is natural to go around, but Hosokawa Kazu still has three days to go around, right? The whole army starved to death after passing around.

Only by breaking through quickly on the front, advancing to Tokihata and joining forces can you have a chance of victory.

The Korigan River is natural danger, with a widest one or two hundred meters (if the flood is even more exaggerated), and the section of Kita Musashi is also fifty or sixty meters wide. If it were a shallow ditch of ten or eight meters, Uesugi Hiroto would have hit it long ago. It was because of the large water flow and the spring flood season, the water situation was relatively large, so it was difficult to get through it.

In this way, Takeda and Hojo really have no flaws.

If you are a standard old warrior, you have no choice in the face of this situation. The river is here, and if you can't get through it, you can't get through it. It's impossible for Moses to cross the Red Sea. There is a thunder in the sky. Heavenly Father will split the Red Sea for you and send Moses over.

But if others can’t get over it, it doesn’t mean that Xiaoping can’t get over it.

Koheita has foreign soldiers and foreign artillery. Due to the current difficulties, Koheita already understood that it was impossible to win the battle. However, it is necessary to bring 10,000 Hosokawa Kazuno back to Yamauchi. Yamauchi's parents and fellow villagers are still looking forward to it and dare not forget it.

The mornings in Kanto are no different from those in Shinono. There is some thin fog along the Ligne River, but it has no effect of blocking them. The reeds on both sides have long been cut off to clear their sights and also act as fuel.

As usual, the Yamauchi army remembered the sound of morning prayer bells. William dragged a small bell worth dozens of kilograms and started to ring. The Christian militia and mercenaries also rose up, gathered in front of him, and prayed to the small cross.

William said something, "I came to this world not to teach you how to enjoy peace, but to teach you how to use weapons."

"The iron chariots of Babylon and the soldiers of Rome will always cause them to collapse under the glory of the Holy Father."

…………………

The soldiers from other battalions have become familiar with the ritual activities of Chezhidan these days, and some people are curious about going to take a look, but apart from the novel appearance of the Southern Barbarians, they have no more interest in listening to the sermons.

At this time, Xiaopingta did all the kung fu, and she got up early in the morning, sat on the straw mat, and listened to William preaching there. To be honest, the Old Testament can indeed be read as a storybook, and some of the contents are quite interesting and interesting.

When William finished speaking, he led the sing in person, but Xiaopingta couldn't understand it at all. She sang Spanish chants, and even the priests could only sing along with them.

The end of this side, there is no need to bother other troops to fight, including Nagano Yemori, who took the initiative to fight. He only asked each team to go out to form a formation on the north bank of the Ligeng River. This caused a powerful (troop) situation of more than 30,000 reinforcements, which made the South Bank pay attention to it.

There was neither a first move nor a front-selling striker, and William's cut-in Dan soldiers were temporarily out.

The Takeda Hojo Army in the south naturally set up formations along the river and was ready to attack it at halfway. Takeda Haruno and Oshishi Naruto knew that Fujiwara's orthodox troops would advance and not retreat without fighting head-on.

As long as they beat the breath for a while, Xiaopingta would be gone.

But the situation was completely different from what they thought. Xiaopingta did not send a first-hand swim across the river to grab the beach, nor did he build a floating bridge, so he quietly lined up the north bank.

Then confront each other!

Haruka looked at the camps of Takeda and Hojo Army, and Koheita asked William nonsense.

"How many yards are there from the army on the other side?"

"The closest one is only one hundred yards, how could it be so close?"

William has never participated in the Japanese-style joint battle, so he naturally wondered why the distance between the two armies was only 90 meters and 100 meters, and even ignored why Xiaopingta used codes to calculate the distance.

How many meters can it shoot with a bow? Even an elephant cannot hit thirty-fifty meters away. But it is not enough to have a safe distance of 100 meters.

If it weren't for the Ligen River, it wouldn't be impossible for the two armies to confront each other fifty meters apart.

"Please command the artillery to bombard the other side. You can get closer. Anyway, the enemy does not have any artillery."

Xiaopingta looked at the second lieutenant on the Nanman ship. As an officer, he had to pay a 15 tael of gold a month, but he didn't know if it was worth the price.

"Great Lord Fujiwara, the gunners of Jisbania will never disappoint you."

Xiaopingta nodded, pointed at his thousand-sized golden bamboo leaves horse mark, and announced loudly that as long as the battle results are brilliant, the golden bamboo leaves on them will be rewarded with their merits.

The mercenaries cheered and skillfully took out the corner boards to calculate the distance and angle. The north bank of the Ligen River is the continuation of the Ueno hills, while the south bank is the beginning of the Kanto Plain, with a difference in height.

Not long after, the six-men (and two-men owned in the mountain) thousand-pound Bolang cannons were pushed to the river bank. The soldiers used a large number of rice bags to raise the mud on the river beach and build simple turrets to ensure that the cannons would not fall into the mud.

Uncovering the cannon's suit, the brilliance of the bronze cannon is dazzling in the sunshine of birth (in dreams).

Then, under Xiaopingta's gaze, the thirty sub-guns of the six cannons were loaded and inspected one by one. The night before, five cows were killed in the army and the butter were taken. Now it's hot, use hot oil to clean the cannon chamber just in case.

If you want to fight, don’t play with one shot or two shots. Xiaoheita means to give him a fierce round. Thirty shots down, and directly cut off the Takeda Hojo Alliance first. It’s better to kill two generals. Blow them completely, then build a floating bridge, and the whole army crosses the river.

William touched the head of the gunner kneeling on the ground and said to the cannon for a while. Xiaopingta knew that everything was ready and he could start.

After hundreds of sections, Xiaopingtai's bamboo stick was raised in one fell swoop, and more than 16,000 Shanoui troops were cheering from east to west, cheering Xiaopingtai's name loudly, and excitedly.

Amid the warm cheers, six cannons of the Folang machine were ignited together, and the violent roar would tear all the old and worn.
