When Wako Uesugi first set up the forces of the Daimyo and Noble Clans of the same faction (previously known as the Shangluo Faction), he had paid great attention to the locations of the towns they occupied. He had placed some of the Ashigaru and Ninja forces in the towns on both sides of the battlefield.
Among them, the Ashigaru were weak in combat, but they could disguise themselves as ordinary NPC Liegeman. Ordinary Ninja forces might not have unique abilities like the Secret Ninjas, but they were equally adept at concealment.
On the other hand, a large number of daimyo and noble clans with samurai soldiers were arranged by the Uesugi brat at the two sides of the rear. They would be able to hold the line for their own camp. At the very least, they would be able to fight head-on.
Meanwhile, Wako Uesugi had placed all of his three hundred thousand capable fighters on the main battlefield. These were the forces that Wako Uesugi currently commanded.
The child had already thought it through. Only the forces of his own army were the backbone that he could rely on. The other forces of the famous and powerful clans were just going along with the flow. What the child could do was to take advantage of the situation and make use of the various forces to the greatest extent.
Wako Uesugi might not be able to do much against Zhang He and Ji Ling's forces with just these preparations. However, Wako Uesugi was known as the War God of the Nihon civilization. His reputation in the Nihon civilization was no less than Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms era.
Even though Wako Uesugi was still in the midst of his growth, some of his methods were gradually maturing. Wako Uesugi had prepared a powerful trump card for this war.
First of all, Uesugi had obtained 50000 special forces by chance. Moreover, all of them had advanced to Fifth Grade and were now a force to be reckoned with.
Speaking of these 50000 special forces, there was also a special attribute of the large auction houses. Every month, the system would randomly refresh some unique items of their civilization in the large auction houses.
This attribute of large auction houses was discovered by Xiaohui when she was managing the large auction houses in the region of the three civilizations. The auction houses would regularly refresh with items from their own civilization, and most of the time, they were unimportant items such as paintings, calligraphy, and daily necessities.
Sometimes, Yang Rui would purchase items with practical value, such as weapons and equipment, Skill Books, and various tools. Normally, however, they would only be ordinary items. Moreover, as a large Auction House, Yang Rui would have to spend a lot of money to obtain these items.
Of course, after the system refreshed these items, Yang Rui still had the right to prioritize them. Some items with special value were necessary even if he had to spend more money. Wako Uesugi's 50000 Iron Cannon Foot Light Special Forces Skill Book belonged to this category.
Wako Uesugi had obtained this set of Skill Books when the large auction houses in the region of the Japanese civilization refreshed for the third time. He had spent more than 100000 gold coins to obtain this set of Skill Books. The price was much higher than the usual system price, but it was still much cheaper than the market price.
It should be known that when the system refreshed the Skill Books, it also gave Wako Uesugi a set of Iron Cannon Building Skill Books. It was a buy one get one free deal.
After obtaining the skill book, the Uesugi brat began to select candidates and secretly nurture the special troops. However, the production speed of the iron cannons had greatly delayed this process. Previously, this batch of soldiers could only be used as normal Ashigaru soldiers, and their combat power was even worse than normal Ashigaru soldiers.
The construction of the Iron Cannon was the difficulty of the growth of this special force. From the moment he obtained the blueprint, he had searched for qualified blacksmiths to start the construction of the Iron Cannon. However, it was difficult to increase the construction speed in a short period of time.
It was not until less than six months in the game that Wako Uesugi found enough qualified blacksmiths to build the Iron Cannon. The blacksmiths worked day and night to rush the production of the Iron Cannon.
Not long ago, after about one and a half years in the game, the blacksmiths finally completed the production of the required 10000 Iron Cannons. Only then did the Iron Cannons truly become a fighting force.
However, the amount of ammunition used in the Iron Cannons was still very limited. It was already considered good that it could support a slightly larger battle.
Perhaps on the battlefield of cold weapons, the Iron Cannons that could appear in the Iron Cannons were very different. However, the Iron Cannons used at this time were the most primitive kind, belonging to the embryonic stage of firearms. Whether it was the power or the firing speed, it was greatly limited.
According to historical facts, Wako Uesugi was not the only one who had Iron Cannons in the Japanese civilization during the Warring States period. However, there were not many who could make good use of them. Therefore, the Iron Cannons were only a slightly special force.
If the Iron Cannons were to fight against other forces of the same number, without paying attention to the usage of the Iron Cannons, it would be very difficult for them to win.
It could be said that the 50000 Iron Cannons were only a trick in Wako Uesugi's hands. The real trump card that Wako Uesugi had hidden was the formation Carriage Suspension Formation!
After Wako Uesugi received the signal from Yang Rui's scouting unit, he retreated while setting up ambushes on both sides. When he arrived at the designated battlefield, Wako Uesugi also set up the Daimyo and Noble Families at the back.
After everything was prepared, Wako Uesugi directly set up the formation and waited for Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops to arrive.
Zhang He and Ji Ling were the generals of the Three Kingdoms civilization region. Moreover, they had a strategist like Feng Ji beside them. Naturally, they would not be easy to deal with.
On the way here, the two troops had discovered some clues about Wako Uesugi's troops. However, the scouts kept reporting the movements of Wako Uesugi's main forces. Perhaps due to their confidence, Zhang He, Ji Ling, and Feng Ji all agreed to chase after the enemy's main forces.
After more than two hours, the main forces of the two sides finally clashed. Wako Uesugi did not say anything and directly fired a round of cannons.
"Boom! Boom! Boom … "
The Iron Cannons only fired one round before retreating to the right of the formation. The archers moved forward and fired another round before following the Iron Cannons to the right.
At this time, a group of close combat warriors from Wako Uesugi's troops charged forward. After charging for a while, they dodged to the right. Just as Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops were about to chase after them, another group of close combat warriors from Wako Uesugi had arrived.
If Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops continued to chase after the front group, they would be attacked from both sides. Seeing that the front group did not show any signs of returning, they turned around to chase after the rear group.
However, the rear group only charged for a while before following in the footsteps of the front group and retreating to the right. Suddenly, the Iron Cannons behind them appeared again and began to fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom … "
As the military god of Wako Uesugi, the Chariot Formation was the famous tactic of Wako Uesugi. Moreover, the way it was set up was very different from the Three Kingdoms civilization's formations. Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops were caught in the formation.
