0342 One-sided counter-shooting
The family moved quickly along the main road. When it was dawn, the team had already advanced to the vicinity of the Japanese camp, and from a distance, the Japanese camp was a wall made of logs. Several arrow towers were also built. It can be seen that the Japanese generals in the camp are also attentive. All the trees and bushes around the camp were cut down, revealing a large open space.
The brigade did not hide either. After all, they were almost at the gate of the camp, and so many people couldn't hide. But at this moment, Liu Pei's team is marching westward, and from a distance, it looks like it has come out of the sun! The golden sun shone on them in the morning, as if they were covered with golden armor, and they looked so mighty!
Liu Peihaha smiled and said, "What else can you expect from them?" How can the village chief's ordinary methods of managing the army be compared with our elite in a hundred battles? ”
Liu Pei said disdainfully: "The country is small and the population is sparse. There are even fewer people who can fight. The two Ming wars of the Wa Kingdom, and if each side can dispatch a hundred or ten people, it is called a joint battle! This scale is just the scale of our two village chiefs in Daming leading people to fight for water! ”
The highest commander in the Japanese camp was Kono Kamiharu, the general of the Shimazu family. He drank the Ming wine sent by the sentry dock camp last night and slept soundly. Suddenly awakened by the sound of alarm bells, he hurriedly got up and began to put on his armor. When he was more than halfway through, the attendant ran in from outside the door.
The squire had inquired before entering, and hurriedly said, "The tower has spotted an unknown group of centaurs marching towards us. It looks like about 1,000 people. ”
Dressed in armor, he asked, "Do you know where the soldiers and horses are?" ”
Kono Kamiharu put on his helmet and said, "Is it from the Ming Kingdom?" ”
The attendant shook his head and said, "I asked, it's definitely not from the Ming Kingdom." The people on the sentry tower said that those people were wearing blue short clothes, not the clothes of the Ming army. And their armor is strange. ”
The attendant immediately bowed away to deliver the order. And Kono Kamiharu was all shouting, trying to make every samurai and soldier see him. It seems that he is still qualified as a military general. This is not surprising. Before the defeat of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Korean Campaign, the Wa Kingdom was in a state of war. Therefore, the generals who have survived until now are basically people above the horizon.
The whole team marched at once. Just as Liu Pei's team was marching, the gate of the Japanese camp was opened, and a group of ashigaru soldiers quickly poured out inside.
Moreover, Liu Pei has also carefully studied the tactics of the Japanese people. In the past, the ashigaru soldiers were not valued by the daimyo. Because their combat capabilities are very low, and their loyalty is still very low. Because in the beginning, the source of the ashigaru soldiers was the landless peasants. As can be seen from the word ashigaru, these peasant soldiers lacked armor and shoes, and even weapons, and had to take them from the defeated enemy. They casually joined the army of a certain samurai, fighting, looting, and then easily deserted.
However, this will require a change in the choice of weapons before Ashigaru's military status can be truly raised
In the so-called heroic age of the Wajin, the weapons of the samurai were mainly bows and arrows, and showing martial bravery in riding was the most praised achievement of the samurai. However, by 1530 onwards, Ashigaru had become a regular long-range assault force, and the weapons of the mounted samurai were replaced by bows and arrows.
However, by the 90s of the 16th century, it was common for ashigaru to be at the front of the ranks, indicating a profound change in the military attitude of the daimyo. And at this time, Kono Kamiharu arranges wine and food like this!
Qi Qitao immediately ordered the firecracker to speed up. Hearing this, the firecrackers quickened their pace of running. The musketeers were already at the front of the line, but at this time they quickly broke away from the group. Before the ashigaru soldiers could line up their formation, they had quickly lined up in three rows.
At this moment, Kono Kamiharu, who had already climbed the wall, was shocked! As an old-sighted general, he has already seen the difference between the ashigaru soldiers under his command and the other party. The two sides were arrayed almost at the same time, but the other side had completed the three-row queue earlier than the ashigaru soldiers. Just when Kamiharu Kono saw the opponent's fire gun hand raise the fire gun, he knew that his ashigaru army was finished! They can't withstand three rounds of blows!
This added even more confusion to an already chaotic team. At this time, the ashigaru soldiers were chaotic and could not form a team, and the ranks behind were still pouring out of the camp gate, adding to the level of confusion.
