The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Side: Ursa

Grindstone Castle. It's a good castle with a fortress on one of the mountains. Think of it as a battle of this era.

There are mountain trees at the base of the mountain, but from the midland to the summit, they are cut down and the view is good. This is to make it easier for you to spot approaching enemies, and to get rid of what you're hiding. In addition, there are defense facilities that use moats and terrain. Still, no consideration has been given to preparing for cannons or roasting balls. That is the weakness of this castle.

There is no point in a large army climbing a narrow mountain road.

This is attacked by mountaineers who are training in mountaineering shoes, mainly Musketeers.

Arrow shields are a combination of wooden planks and bamboo, and their shape is similar to that used by Mobile Squads in the Commander's original universe. There is also a new model in Taiga that puts an iron plate on the surface with the awareness of anti-iron guns, but this time it's not that. The shield has a hole in it for the muzzle, and the cannon can fire from behind it.

The enemy's main weapons are bows and stones. Therefore, the attacker climbs the mountain trail while stiffening his shields in front of him and over his head.

Our weapons are iron cannons and roasting balls. Branded balls of sling and string were thrown at enemy soldiers. The absence of trees that could serve as shields made the Branded Balls terrifyingly effective. Branded balls flew dozens of meters away, so you just had to use them more and more anyway.

"This is not a fight..."

When the attack on the castle began, there was a murmur. You must be talking to yourself. I don't know what to do. It shows off the amount of material and firepower to those who are fighting with martial arts and mercenaries. It was only natural to be confused.

I could hear the explosion at the base of the main wing, so I didn't feel calm.

"It is the weak who suffer from skirmishes and battles." I don't deny that I want to protect my face. But we want a country where the weak can live in peace. I'm sure you won't understand.

War. No matter how civilization progresses, it will not disappear completely. Still, it is something to reduce.

It doesn't matter whether you obey or don't obey. If you don't obey, I think you can do it on your own.

Side: Some kind of martial arts officer

Let go!

I climbed a narrow mountain trail in front of a new arrow shield. When one enemy soldier is found, it releases a cannon, a bow, or even a casting ball. I think it's a waste, but this is our battle.

Those who have shields and prevent the enemy from throwing stones and bows, those who shoot cannons and bows, those who throw balls, and those who bring balls one after another. Everyone has a role and works accordingly.

It was a battle that I learned from the Kuyu family. How do you use a medicine called gunpowder? I use it for my daily training, which is unlikely to happen at other houses.

Guah!

"Hi, noo!!"

It looked like some enemy soldiers had hit the balls. Some of them were training to throw their own balls. That alone will improve the salaries of those who are thrown far away and those who are thrown where they are aiming.

You can make as many branded balls as you want. Do not hesitate when you are in battle. "Remember what Lord Nagaya once taught us.

They told us we weren't good soldiers, but they taught us how to be ready for battle and how to think. How many years and how much money and food do you need until you can grow up and work alone? When the battle was prolonged, I was thinking about how much supplies I needed and how much I would be able to carry out my assignment.

Let's go!

It was only for a short while. The enemies within sight flee, and we follow the mountain trail. Behind us are those who bring the balls. As long as it's frightening. There's plenty of room to spare for a few days with this branded ball.

Even if it rains, it will be somewhat troublesome, but it is unlikely to rain today.

Grindstone Castle is halfway there. Few people have been injured here. I lost a lot of Branded Balls.

Side: Yazawa Okinawa

This is more than I can ask. I don't know if it's a gold cannon, but what's flying from one side to the next is inflicting heavy hand injuries on allied soldiers.

"With an unfamiliar shield of arrows, I could unleash an iron and gold cannon in the rain." That won't make it to war. We're also protected by arrow shields, but they're useless. "

Wrong number. If you use the same number of iron and gold cannons as a stone thrower, you can't hit us. So you were right about your brother's sentence.

Oh my God!

"Stop! Stop them!" Drop the rock!! "

Those who laugh at me with majesty have commanded me with the appearance of anger in their hearts, but it is impossible. It's just being driven away by the rocks. Either the ball of golden cannon will be exhausted or the castle gate will be reached.

"Hey! I can really get to the gate in a day!"

“That's why I would have said it. And a good soldier. I can see it when I know I can't do anything. I can't make a castle. In front of the golden cannon, the gate is useless."

A few people come to me in a hurry, but I can't help it if I can't come now. I could serve as an emissary for surrender.

"Do you want to crush the castle to death on your pillow?" Surrender, or you choose. ”

I learned one thing, too. I was angry at being scolded as a coward, but maybe I was lucky to be a coward. Aren't they like fools, who have no cowardice next to them?

How can you show martial arts when you can't get close to them? I don't want to risk my life to be scolded as a fool.

"The enemy soldiers will not stop!" The castle is just around the corner! "

Aren't there more golden cannon balls than our own? I don't think this castle needs to be that close. I don't know.

A gold cannon has been dropped into the castle!

Oh, the gate, the moat, the ridge. I can't handle that. A nearby person is wounded when a ball of flying golden cannon falls.

The enemy is calling for surrender!

I wonder how many golden cannon balls have flown. When it stops and you wonder if you will break the gate next time, do you urge me to surrender again?

"I will be an apostle of surrender. My brother is down in Oda with Takeda."

Those who were exaggerating that Oda was not the number of objects seemed to be depressed as well. I couldn't get close. The bows and arrows seem to have some advantage, but if the balls of the gold cannon and the iron cannon fly one after the other while we shoot the bow, it won't be a battle.

Evening before the sky is still bright. Didn't it last all day?

There is no one who speaks of alienity. This castle is originally the castle of the Kaino clan. For Murakami, it is the main point of containment in the south, but it is not enough to hang houses over Oda's opponents and protect them. Not to mention the fact that the castle is almost entirely inhabited by the people and the earth. I suspect that Murakami will really backfill it.

More to the point, we all have to think about our respective territories and families. That Oda opponent couldn't possibly protect the territory.

In the first place, this battle was demanded by Oda, who was ravaged by skirmishes. It wasn't like Murakami was going to fight Oda.

While the enemy's assailants were at a standstill, I opened the castle gate and went to Oda as an envoy.

"I'm Yazawa Higashimasuke." As a surrender messenger, I would like to intercede with the general of Oda. "

When we exit the gate, we see a lot of arrow shields, and from the side of the gate, the cannon is aiming at us. There's no gap. Even if you fight and leave, you will be crushed.

"Okay, let me show you."

Oda's formation overlooking the mountains felt so far away. There was no escape for Yamashiro without a castle. Is this a fault of Yamashiro? Things come to my mind while I'm doing it now.

"My hands and my legs are out."

"Isn't it a castle that can be attacked with your own hands?" We have to fight and win ”.

I suddenly uttered an extra word, but the samurai who guided me returned everything. There's no way Oda and I can get out of it. The more we use the golden cannon, the more we'll have to use it.

The castle wasn't a consolation.
