The sound of rumbling horses' hooves resounded throughout the battlefield. This gave the morale of the Japanese soldiers on the frontal battlefield who had plummeted again!

After all, in this era, cavalry means great strength and lethality. All the Japanese soldiers hoped that these cavalry would be the first to rush into the enemy's position and destroy the artillery, so as to reduce their casualties.

Just as the Japanese cavalry accelerated, mortar artillery joined the ranks of the firing. They fired five flowering shells at the maximum range. Blossom shells rolled in the sky and smashed into the front of the cavalry ranks. When they fell, five flames erupted at the front of the cavalry ranks!

These five flowering shells have achieved miraculous results! These five flowering shells exploded at the front end of the cavalry unit, and because the huge bodies of the horses blocked most of the projectiles, only about thirty horses and cavalry were killed and injured in total!

Not to mention the dead horses and cavalry, they just fell to the ground. But the wounded horses were now jumping around in place, trying to relieve their pain, but they threw the cavalry out of the saddle and fell to the ground!

Know that horses are herbivores. And herbivores all have one thing in common, and that is timidity! If you are slightly frightened, you will jump around and bite indiscriminately! Therefore, the horses used by the cavalry need to be carefully trained.

In addition to careful breeding, war horses must also be trained by special personnel. Trainers should often beat gongs and drums, blow trumpets and sound gold near the war horses, so that the war horses can adapt to the sounds that are often seen on the battlefield and will not be afraid when they go into battle.

Later, firearms appeared, and the trainers had to take their horses to the soldiers' training grounds to listen to the sound of artillery and firecrackers, so that they would not run away in fright when they went to battle!

The horses of these Japanese cavalry may have been accustomed to the sound of cold weapons fighting, but they were not accustomed to the sound of artillery. And there's a flowering bomb exploding around them! This huge explosion caused serious confusion at the front of the cavalry ranks!

While a large number of war horses died and fell, the injured war horses began to go berserk! A horse's abdomen was actually cut open by a high-speed projectile, and the internal organs were directly separated and dragged to the ground! So the horse was messed up because of the more intense pain

Bouncing! Not to mention the cavalry who threw off his own, he also knocked over the horse next to him and trampled on another cavalryman who was thrown off!

The miserable screams of the cavalry and the neighing of the horses are mixed together, which makes people feel particularly poignant! The scene is extremely chaotic! But the chaos hasn't reached its climax yet, and the real climax is just a few seconds later!

A dozen groups of horses and cavalry fell to the ground, and the huge horse carcasses became fixed obstacles. Actually, if those shells kill the horses, it's fine, but it's a big deal to step on their corpses or jump over them. But there were still seventeen or eight horses jumping around in place, and this was the source of the trouble! The scurrying horses completely blocked the path of the cavalry behind.

But the cavalry behind had already run at speed, and were galloping forward at full speed, where did they stop their horses? Even if they tried to control the horse to slow down or turn, it was impossible to sit down at this time! So the cavalry in the back crashed into the front of the men and horses one by one!

The horse behind was too late to turn at high speed and crashed into it. A cavalryman couldn't pull his horse, and as a result, he crashed into the side of a crazy horse with his horse! The crazy horse fell directly to the ground due to injury and impact, but the horse that crashed past broke its neck with a click! The cavalryman was also thrown out directly, crashed into the pile of corpses, and his neck was twisted into a strange shape, seeing that he was not alive!

Nearly a hundred cases like this happened in just a dozen seconds! The corpses of people and horses are actually stacked on top of each other! However, in addition to the people and horses killed and injured by the flowering bullets, there are more people and horses who trample on each other and are killed and injured! But there is one thing in common, whether they are alive or dead, people and horses, without exception, are distorted limbs and hideous faces!

The cavalry behind finally discovered the chaos in front and desperately reined in the war horse, so they didn't rush into this chaotic maelstrom! Otherwise, there will be a few more dead corpses! As they gazed in amazement at the chaotic scene ahead, they forgot what a perfect target it was for the large number of cavalry to stop and gather here!

And those gunners who have already practiced shooting countless times have sensitively seized the current opportunity and slashed their heads and faces

The shotgun is fired! More than 300 projectiles swept through the crowd like a violent wind! For a while, in the cavalry group, countless strands of blood spurted out of the cavalry and war horses! More than a hundred cavalry and horses were hit!

The human body is not as strong as the war horse, so all the cavalrymen who were shot screamed and fell off their horses! But war horses don't die so easily! The wounded horse neighed and jumped and threw the cavalry to the ground, completely ignoring that the man was his companion and only wanted to relieve his own pain. So the chaos not only did not stop, but continued to expand!

Masakatsu Horita, who was running in front, miraculously did not suffer any damage. But he and dozens of cavalrymen had broken away from the brigade. Hearing the neighing of horses from the people behind him, Horita Masakatsu looked back and couldn't help but be surprised!

It was a terrible sight he had never seen in a battle before! The scurrying horses and the corpses lying on the ground were smeared with the blood of everything around them, and they merged into a cruel picture!

Only then did Horita Masakatsu realize that the opponent's firearms also had great lethality against cavalry! This reminded him of the scene where Takeda Shingen's Chibei cavalry was annihilated. Horita Masakatsu knew that the attack had failed, but he wisely did not immediately rein in the horse, but pulled the reins to the left, let the horse make a circle, and went back to the cavalry.

He ran past the edge of the cavalry unit in confusion and shouted, "Get out of here!" Get out of here! ”

The cavalry, who had woken up from a dream, rode their horses and followed closely. Just as they rode away, five more flowering shells exploded in the cavalry! Dozens of cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground!

Ignoring the cavalry waving his arms at them for help, Horita Masakatsu directly led the group to avoid the range of the artillery. It wasn't until he ran a few hundred meters away that he slowly pulled the war horse.

Horita Masakatsu turned his horse's head and looked at the cavalry behind him. I noticed that they all had panicked expressions on their faces. Horita Masakatsu knew that today's blow was a bit big for these proud cavalrymen. But there was no time to encourage them anymore. Because the gunfire on the frontal battlefield is extremely dense, you can see the samurai and ashigaru falling in the smoke from a distance!
