Under the leadership of Yoshikawa Hiroie and Sakai Tadayo, 3,000 sergeants quickly rushed into Hojohara, aiming directly at the Hideho Honjin in the northern part of the country, with cavalry as the vanguard, Ashigaru as the central army, and Ashigaru with a few iron cannons as the main army.

A large number of troops suddenly emerged from the woods, and an offensive formation was set up on the abbot hara to attack their side, and the Toyotomi sentinels on the arrows of the main formation immediately sounded the horn of the conch, and the sound of the horn resounded throughout the sky in an instant, whether it was the ashigaru patrolling outside the camp, or the samurai retainers who were preparing to eat, they all returned to their respective camps, quickly reorganized the formation under the reprimand of the general, and gathered outside the gate of the main camp with a fish scale formation to wait for the battle.

The loud sound of the horn also woke Hideho, who had just fallen asleep, from his sleep, he took the saber handed by Aoki Hisaki, strode out of the main formation, and rode his horse to the gate under the front and back of the overlord, staring intently at the dusty abbot Yuan not far away.

"Do you know whose military strength it is?" Hideho asked with a solemn expression.

Fukushima Masanori's younger brother, Fukushima Masanori, hurriedly replied: "Looking at the military flag and flag fingers, it should be the army of Mori Yoshikawa." ”

"Is Yoshikawa Minbu making a comeback?" Hideho had heard before that the Yoshikawa Hiroke family abandoned Kohiyama and fled to the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp, but he didn't expect to kill a horse gun and directly raid his own main camp, which made Hideho cry and laugh.

"How many troops are there? Ten thousand or twenty thousand? Xiubao teased.

Fukushima Masarari smiled when he heard this: "Look at this formation, it is less than 5,000, and you can see it clearly when you get closer." ”

"Wait for him to get closer?" Xiubao asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't you wait for you to strike first?" ”

Although Fukushima Masanori is Fukushima Masanori's younger brother, he is more than brave and has average qualifications. He has been mixed under Fukushima Takayoshi for a long time, and if it were not for Hidebo, he would not be available. Nor will he be allowed to lead an army and guard his own position. Hearing that he was preparing to fight a white-knuckle battle with the Yoshikawa army, Hideho was immediately displeased and asked him to withdraw his spear and lead with iron gun. Perform a three-stage round shot at the oncoming Yoshikawa cavalry.

Since it was Hideho who spoke, Fukushima Masanori had no choice but to obey the order, and he transferred more than 2,000 iron cannons from the Overlord Bei and the Imperial Horse Yard to the front of the formation, and launched intensive fire after the Yoshikawa army reached the firing range.

This blow was indeed a striking result, and out of an underestimation of the number of iron cannons in Hidebo's main formation, Yoshikawa Hiroke decided to use the faster cavalry as the lead to break through the defense line of the main camp in one fell swoop and rush into the main camp to capture and kill Hidebo. But the truth is. Among the Toyotomi five-color preparations, especially the overlord iron cannon directly under Hideho, there are the largest number of iron cannons, and there are also a thousand people riding iron artillery team, these brave and warlike samurai directly under the samurai, in the face of the sudden army, did not panic and confusion at all, they moved quickly to the firing position according to the pattern of daily training under the gaze of Hidebo, after the Yoshikawa army entered the firing range. Immediately shoot intensively in unison.

The three-stage attack combined with the "early entry" makes the shooting frequency of the Overlord Reserve two to three times higher than that of the general reserve team, plus the huge base. The dense artillery fire knocked the Yoshikawa cavalry on their backs in an instant, and both the feet and the head pockets were extremely vulnerable in the face of these projectiles, and many elite samurai who had been on the battlefield for a long time died under the stray bullets without a single sword. Yoshikawa Hiroie, who was galloping in the middle of the army, was also caught off guard, and was not injured by a bullet in the head pocket, but the war horse was shot and fell to the ground. He had to dismount in a hurry, and casually rode an ownerless war horse to continue the attack.

But at this time, he no longer has the courage of Fang Cai, although he is riding a horse to charge, but in the face of the raindrops of projectiles, he chooses to slow down, let the ashigaru rush in the front, himself and the iron cannon Ashigaru Palace, the beautiful name is "taking care of the overall situation".

Eight hundred cavalry can really rush to the front of the formation less than one-tenth, these lone soldiers can no longer produce the shock effect of the group charge, on the contrary, in the face of the dense gun array, the only dozens of cavalry can hardly survive, one after another died under the spear and iron cannon of the Toyotomi sergeant, this scene made the Chinese army in the distance shudder.

"Shinhachiro, let's escape, Lord Wubingwei is all dead, and it is even more impossible for us to win!" During the charge, a ashigaru armed with a bamboo gun "suggested" to a fellow villager beside him.

The fellow nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, this battle can't be won at all, the lord wants to die, but I don't want to, I just want to go home and reunite with my wife and children!" With that, the two exchanged glances, then changed the direction of travel, and walked towards the east side of the abbot.

This scene was seen by the razor-warrior who followed him, and he strode after the two men, and without saying a word, he slashed down with his hand, and cut off their heads cleanly. The warrior picked up the head and glared angrily, and roared: "Give me all charges, those who dare to retreat in battle will end up like two thieves!" ”

Those peasants and soldiers who had never seen the world all trembled when they saw this, and the chickens nodded their heads as if they were pecking rice, indicating that they had "no two hearts", and rushed forward with bamboo spears in a panic. Although such a "show of loyalty" can escape the punishment of the samurai, it cannot escape the fate of death.

Without the cover of the cavalry, these peasant soldiers dressed in imperial loan equipment appeared under the guns of the Toyotomi army in the flesh, with slow speed and poor defense, and these disadvantages made the loss of the spear ashigaru several times that of the cavalry, and those injured by the projectile fell to the ground and rolled around, moaning in pain, which to a certain extent delayed the pace of the follow-up military charge. Looking at the comrades with painful expressions at their feet, the follow-up sergeants retreated again in their hearts.

"Oh, I can't do it!" An ashigaru suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and saying with a painful expression. To others, he was just one of the sergeants who were wounded by a stray bullet, but the ashigaru smiled at the corner of his mouth: he was not injured, and this was just a stopgap measure for fear of becoming a meat shield.

This kind of magical plot continued to be staged on the charging road, and in the end, even the iron cannon Ashigaru who followed behind Yoshikawa Hiro's family also had a lot of "fall to the ground", although this scene made Yoshikawa Hiro's family suspicious, but the war was tight, and he really couldn't think about it.

"Drop the wounded, and the others continue to charge!" Hiroie Yoshikawa and Tadashi Sakai ordered loudly.

Hearing this, the number of "actors" immediately increased, especially Ashigaru who rushed in the middle, seeing that his comrades sacrificed their lives in vain, he did not hesitate to choose to "fall to the ground and die". After the battle, it was discovered that there were 500 of these suspended soldiers, almost the same number as the iron cannon Ashigaru.

Yoshikawa Hiroya rode his horse and galloped in the battle formation, watching the sergeants next to him fall one by one, and the pain arose, because of the fast riding speed, Yoshikawa soon came to the front of the team - of course, not the front, there must be a few substitutes for the dead to block a few projectiles for themselves.

"That person is the Yoshikawa Hiroka!"

Suddenly, Masori Fukushima spotted Hiroya Yoshikawa riding a tall horse, and immediately ordered a squad of iron guns to shoot at him.

"Woohoo!"

After a burst of intensive gunfire, Yoshikawa Hiroya's expression shook a few times in pain, and with a "poof", even the people and horses fell in a pool of blood.

The general of the Maori Army's Eastern Crusade shattered the abbot Yuan.
