Chapter 1015: Beaten
The battle became more and more intense, and both sides suffered casualties, and in general, the Shogunate suffered relatively large losses, because their losses were far more precious than their foot soldiers.
The front shouted to kill the heavens, but the main formation of the shogunate army was strictly organized, they lined up neatly, did not attack, and just stood like this.
Yoshizawa Bright was a little puzzled, in the past, in the war, it was the shield cart and the bamboo bundle that went first, and resisted the opponent's firearms and cavalry, why did he let the cavalry go first this time? Is it bad to be in the head?
He quickly turned his head to look at the high ground where the handsome flag was, because it was too far away to see the appearance of the boss clearly, and Yoshizawa only knew that they should be very calm.
Yoshizawa didn't dare to be calm, he nervously observed the surroundings of the battlefield, lest the main force of the Ming army suddenly appear in any direction.
Ever since he had encountered the Ming army twice, he had been afraid of encountering them again.
The cavalry of the shogunate army kept charging and approaching, and kept detouring, with many tricks, and the appeasement army was nervous to deal with it, fearing that the enemy cavalry would break through the military formation under carelessness.
After the battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, the shogunate cavalry on the battlefield suffered more and more casualties, and the screams were incessant.
However, the firepower of the appeasement army has gradually weakened, and there have even been cases of self-detonation of firearms from time to time.
Finally, when the front of the appeasement army showed signs of wavering, Sakai Tadakatsu, who had always been calm, suddenly raised his flag and shouted: "Attack with the order!" ”
The flags of the Chinese army danced, and the flags on the left and right flanks of the shogunate army responded and passed the flags one after another, and Yoshizawa also received an order from the superior samurai to let their team push the shield cart forward to cover the follow-up army to attack the enemy.
Hundreds of shield wagons lined up and shouted forward, and behind them were rows of infantry troops armed with muskets and bows and arrows, led by Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, the daimyo of the Owari domain, shouting slogans as they approached.
Yoshizawa could see that these infantry soldiers with good equipment were the elite of the shogunate army, after all, they were miscellaneous soldiers with sticks......
The Pacification counterattack continued, but the bullets were almost blocked by the sturdy shield carts, and as the engagement continued[520 www.biquge520.xyz], the rate of fire of the usually poorly trained musketeers was even lower and more chaotic.
Due to improper operation and the use of more pesticides, some inferior bird guns lead to more and more bird guns in the bore, just like firecrackers.
Many soldiers did not dare to use the bird guns for fear of death, and the firepower of the musket array was greatly reduced, and the smoke in front of the battle blocked the view, and the appeasement army could only hear the horn of the shogunate, which made them even more afraid of the unknown.
Only a small number of daimyo formations remained tightly organized, and the firearms were properly used, and they continued to deal blows to the shogunate's attacking vehicle formations.
When the foot soldiers of the shogunate army advanced to seventy paces, they heard their drums and trumpets change again, and the cavalry harassing on both flanks suddenly turned to the rear of the appeasement army to harass.
At the same time, a fierce conch horn sounded in the formation of the shogunate army, and the musketeers hiding behind the shield carts poked out the muzzles of the black holes through the gap between the shield carts, emitting a sharp fire.
There were also thousands of well-trained archers of the shogunate army who raised their bows and arrows to shoot upwards, and for a while, locust-like arrows flew into the sky towards the dense appeasement army array, one wave took off, and the second wave rose into the sky.
Yoshizawa clung to the shield cart and looked up cautiously, only to see thousands of arrows flying up from behind him and landing on the enemy in front.
He turned his head again to see that the musketeers of the shogunate army beside him, under the cover of shield carts and bamboo bundles, were more relaxed than hunting, calmly and calmly continuing to fire guns.
Yoshizawa was very envious, the eldest brother next to him was well-equipped, and he thought that he should have a lot of silver yuan in his arms......
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Yoshizawa was startled, only to feel that his shield car had been hit by a lot of bullets, but fortunately, the enemy's firearms were not strong and did not penetrate the shield car covered with quilts.
Tens of thousands of arrows rained down on the appeasement army, and swaths of soldiers were shot, screaming and falling, suffering heavy casualties.
The Maori Outline may not order the deployment of bamboo bundles and shield carts for cover, but the arrows are parabolic and the shield carts cannot stop them, only the enemy's firearms.
Maori Outline was anxious, and then realized that the shogunate army on the opposite side was elite!
In his consciousness, generally two armies face each other, and they need to shoot arrows at fifty or sixty paces to reach the enemy, and if they are far away, they are beyond the range, but the shogunate army on the opposite side, they can shoot arrows within seventy paces!
When the two armies were sixty paces apart, the appeasement army was subjected to several rounds of arrows, and Maori ordered the archers to concentrate on the counterattack, regardless of casualties, to engage the shogunate army.
However, after firing a few rounds of arrows, the drums and trumpets changed again, and in an instant, a tidal wave of infantry with broadswords and spears poured out of the shield carts and rushed towards the appeasement army.
Akira Yoshizawa, who is ashigaru, is also among them, and he trots all the way with his head down with his wooden stick, not rushing too hard like other new cannon fodder, and is in a hurry to report to Hades.
His samurai boss followed behind with a katana, shouting at them from time to time, making them rush hard.
Yoshizawa still maintains a constant speed, and as an old fritter, he has his own way of being.
A barrage of gunfire and the whistling of arrows continued, and the charging shogunate troops fell in pieces.
After all, there are many people in the appeasement army, and there is chaos in the big array, and there are also some capable people who still command their subordinates to counterattack.
There was a shout ahead, and Ashigaru, who was constantly charging, was shot to the ground by the appeasement army, and he covered his wounds with his hands and screamed miserably.
Some of them were afraid of death, so they simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and Ji Ze, who passed by him, smiled helplessly in his heart, and secretly said that this guy was going to be finished.
Sure enough, this ashigaru who pretended to be dead was directly drowned by his comrades behind him, and he didn't know how many feet he had stepped on.
At this time, behind the charging ashigaru, a group of soldiers rushed out from behind the shield cart, they were not like the ashigaru wearing tattered uniforms, but all of them were armored, and they also charged, but they rushed towards the appeasement army in a strict formation.
As the distance between the two sides decreased, the ranged weapons had lost their effectiveness, and the two sides quickly merged into a close-quarters fight.
In the chaotic battlefield, the fighting continued, Yoshizawa looked at the stick in his hand, and quickly hid behind a strong-looking comrade-in-arms, looking like he was about to knock the stick from a distance.
This strong comrade-in-arms of his was a veteran, with armor on his body and a real weapon in his hand, and Yoshizawa was surprised to find that this guy actually cut down two enemies in one go.
When the veteran was visibly struggling to deal with the third enemy, he was at a disadvantage, and at this time, without saying a word, Yoshizawa knocked over the enemy with a stick and completed the feat of assisting in taking the head.
The veteran glanced at him approvingly, skillfully took out three silver and a few copper rounds from the slain appeasement soldiers, threw a few copper rounds to Yoshizawa without thinking, and then continued the battle without looking back.
Yoshizawa was not too little, picked up a few copper balls from the ground, quickly stuffed them into his arms, and followed with a stick......
The battle lasted for about half an hour, the appeasement army was routed by the shogunate army in the front, the rear army was disrupted by the shogunate cavalry, the originally loose army formation immediately collapsed, and tens of thousands of soldiers fled in panic.
The battlefield immediately resounded with the cheers of the shogunate army, and Yoshizawa Ryo also raised his broadsword and roared excitedly twice.
He celebrates not victory, but the ability to live if he wins, and he is rich again!
The broadsword in his hand was a relic of the old soldier, who was very brave, but unlucky, he was shot through the throat by an arrow from the enemy, and he didn't even say a word before he died.
As a comrade-in-arms and a partner on the battlefield, Yoshizawa naturally inherited the veteran's equipment, as well as a few silver yuan in his arms.
"Yoshizawa Bright, you kid is still alive!"
A samurai walked up and smiled and patted Yoshizawa on the shoulder, this was his superior, named Yagyu Dairo.
Yoshizawa immediately showed a flattering smile, quickly took out a silver yuan from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Yagyu Dairo, and said in a low voice: "This is a small seizure, please accept it with a smile." ”
The smile on Yagyu's face was even worse, and he skillfully accepted the silver yuan, and made the silver yuan disappear as if by magic.
He patted Yoshizawa on the shoulder again and said, "Your kid is a rare general, and he will definitely have a great future in the future, keep the equipment captured this time, and make more contributions to the shogunate in the future!" ”
Yoshizawa smiled brightly, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the cultivation of adults, the small ones will be unforgettable for life!" ”
Yagyu Dairo hummed, said two more polite words, and then continued to look for the other ashigaru under his back hand.......
Bright Yoshizawa also began to busily clean up the battlefield and look for loot.
