The front is about to reach the distance where you can charge. Kamiyoshi Kono could already see the cold expression on the face of the sword and shield hand opposite. The armies of both sides have approached an extremely dangerous distance! That's about 20 steps.

In general, many armies start charging at this distance! However, Kono Kamiyoshi did not rush to charge, but used his own footsteps to suppress the speed of the team behind him! He wanted his team to hold back the urge to charge a little longer. In this case, it will take a moment to impact to have speed and power!

When the distance between the two sides was less than fifteen steps, Kono Kamiyoshi raised his sword and shouted, "For the sake of this family!" Come on! ”

The samurai and elite ashigaru behind him immediately shouted in response and began to charge for their lives! More than 1,000 people rushed madly shouting and rushing, like a whirlwind blowing on the flat ground! Even Liu Pei, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked by this scene!

I have to say, these Japanese people are really wild when they go crazy! However, the sword and shield men in the front row were already ready to defend and charge. Liu Pei explained to them that they don't need to attack, as long as they defend seriously. We must resolutely resist the charge of the Japanese people!

The sword and shield men faithfully carried out this order. They all pressed their left shoulders against their shields, ready for the force of the impact. At the same time, they worked hard to line up more closely and relied on the strength of their teammates to fend off their opponents. The pikemen will also take the action of sticking out of the gap, using the sharp spear tip to reduce the impact of the opponent!

The Japanese people hit the phalanx head-on like a howling tide! The impact is huge, which is unprecedented! Even though the family members had already prepared, the center of the phalanx was still slowly recessed!

These Japanese people are indeed elite! Faced with strong shields and sharp spear tips, they did not retreat at all! Without even the slightest hesitation, he pounced!

The skilled warriors slashed their spears with their swords, cut off the tips of the spears, and then slammed them into the shield formation; The ashigaru did not have the strength to cut off the spear, so they used their knives to shoot the spear, and then slammed it against the shield wall; There was even a crazy ashigaru who saw that he couldn't avoid the spear tip of the spear, so he simply didn't dodge, let the spear pierce his body, and then grabbed the spear tightly! Ashigaru, who wields a spear, holds his spear flat against his shield and tries to open a gap in the shield array!

In such a short moment, the phalanx actually sank! And the shield wall actually has a tendency to crack! Fortunately, the pikemen coped well. They thrust their spears forward, stabbing down many of the enemies who stormed the shield wall, and it was only able to keep the shield wall stable.

But under such a violent impact, after the two sides stalemate for more than ten seconds, the shield wall finally cracked a gap. Just as a sword and shield bearer lowered his shield and fired a spear, the samurai on the opposite side seized the opportunity to slash his neck! The sword and shield hand fell down as soon as his body went limp. The warrior on the opposite side immediately shouted to the person next to him, and he raised his sword and rushed forward, trying to embed himself in the shield wall and completely tear a hole!

But the spearmen in the back line immediately responded correctly. Eleven and two spears immediately turned around and stabbed at the samurai! The brave warrior swung his sword as best he could, but he couldn't even fire four or five spears, and the others stabbed him in the chest!

The samurai wielded his sword and died! However, the pikemen did not withdraw their spears, but several men carried the corpse against the gap, so that the other Japanese would not have a chance to rush in. It wasn't until the shield wall was closed again that they withdrew their spears and the samurai's body was able to hit the ground.

The two sides fought to the death around the shield wall! One side is constantly looking for the opponent's weak points, trying to tear through the enemy's defenses; The other side is constantly making up for all loopholes and resolutely not letting the enemy succeed!

And just like that, the shield wall was torn open and closed again. On the front line, spears pierced each other's bodies, steel knives slashed into flesh, screams, shouts, and the sound of steel colliding all the time! Someone is falling every second! At the same time, there will be more people stepping on the corpses of their companions to replenish the front line! At this moment, blood is like the cheapest oil paint, smeared everywhere! No one cares about their own life or death, all they care about is how to kill the opponent in front of them! It seems that this is the only meaning of their lives!

As the commander of the entire battle, Kono Ueyoshi showed extreme fanaticism, which stimulated his subordinates to rush forward even more fanatically! But his heart is clear. He knew that he was only one liner away from defeat at this moment!

Because just after he launched the charge, he keenly noticed that the opponent's phalanx of firecrackers actually stopped retreating, and instead advanced forward! From then on, he knew he had fallen into a trap. The retreat of the phalanx of the Musketeers was simply a trap to lure him into charging! And his charge is the signal of the opponent's planned counterattack!

When they can't stop once they start charging. The Musketeers will come up and shoot in a round from behind their flanks! There are few teams that can withstand attacks from the flanks and rear when they are facing head-on. Perhaps, but this team commanded by Kono Kamiyoshi is definitely not included!

Now Kono's only hope is the reserve of Hisakama Hisataka. So Kono Ueyoshi simply put aside useless thoughts, and shouted loudly to command the people around him to launch wave after wave of impact. He believed that Hisataka Kayama would not disappoint him!

Sure enough, Kono's prediction came true. The phalanx of firecrackers ran out quickly, approached Kono's flank, and picked up the loaded firecrackers to shoot hard! It's so close! Almost every shot can hit a person. In particular, the dense Japanese formation is more likely to cause huge casualties. With each round of firecrackers, the ranks of the Japanese came like onions peeled, and a small circle of people fell. Each salvo resulted in fifty or sixty casualties.

The samurai and ashigaru didn't expect this to happen. They faltered when they heard the sound of fire behind them, and when they heard the deathbed wails of their companions! Fortunately, the firecracker stopped after three rounds of shooting, and the morale did not completely collapse!

But Kono knew that when the fire bolt fired again, it would be when the entire formation collapsed. So he turned around and looked behind him to see if Hisataka Kayama had sent out the reserves.

Hisaka Kayama lived up to Kono's expectations! At the very beginning, Hisataka Kashiyama couldn't stop praising Kono Kamiyoshi in his heart, thinking that he coped properly, commanded well, and could use his brains! But a few moments later, things changed!

When he found out that the phalanx of firecrackers was attacking reflexively, he realized that he and Kono had fallen into the enemy's trap. So he immediately sent his own reserves to disperse the musketeers. But Hisakama made a fatal mistake! If he gathered all his reserves and charged a phalanx of musketeers, there was a slight chance of success. However, he divided the reserve into two equal teams and sent them to the two flanks in an attempt to disperse the musketeers.

Kono Kamiyoshi also found out that the reserve team was attacking, and he immediately became excited! As long as the reserves can successfully disperse these musketeers, this battle will still be fought! He had already made a clear assessment of the enemy in front of him. These enemies are indeed brave and tenacious in battle, but their individual martial arts skills are very low. They have only relied on the strength of the team to hold on until now, so as long as they tear apart their formation, their collapse will be instantaneous!

The reserve of the Japanese was divided into two teams, each of which had more than 100 people. With a cry of confidence, they pounced on the phalanx of the two musketeers. Hisataka Kayama and Yoshiyoshi Kono accurately calculated the time: when these two teams of men and horses attacked the phalanx of firecrackers, they definitely didn't have time to reload! So there was a hint of joy on both of their faces!

But then this glimmer of joy was condensed on their faces! They calculated accurately, and when the reserves approached the two phalanxes, the musketeers did not have time to reload their firearms. And in their impression, the firecrackers can only attack from a distance, not close combat. As soon as they are approached by the ashigaru, they will scatter and flee without fighting.
