Chapter Twenty-Six: The Annihilation of the Imagawa Army
At this moment, it is noon, and Guo Jia has successfully converged with immobility like a mountain and Qi Qi like the wind. In order to wait for Guo Jia's support, the Takenaka half-guards paid a terrible price. The movement speed of the immovable mountain is too slow, so slow that after walking for a while, it will be overtaken by the Imagawa Army's forward cavalry. It can be said that they are at war with the enemy all the time. The only thing to be thankful for was that the Takenaka Hanbei controlled the damage to a point that Guo Jia could accept.
The loss of the dead was less than 100, while the total number of dead and casualties was only more than 40.
Just as they were once again clashing with the pursuing Imagawa army, the stalemate between the two sides was broken with the roar of a round of iron cannons. Guo Jia's Xu Rulin arrived, they were from the flank of the battlefield, the iron artillery department of more than 400 people instantly let the Imagawa army who was still pursuing suffer heavy casualties, a volley at close range hit them with a blur of flesh and blood, and the projectiles made of fine iron harvested the lives of the soldiers on the flank of the Imagawa army.
"Preparing for the second salvo, we moved closer to the immobile mountain." Guo Jia finally asked his Xu Rulin regiment to erect the banner of the Oda Army at this time, and the strict troops continued to move closer to the mountain. And when Takenaka Hanbei saw the Oda family emblem flag, he also directly ordered to move closer in the direction of Guo Jia.
"Qi is as fast as the wind, spread out to the two wings, and divert from the north to attack the pursuers of the Imagawa army! Assault of the whole army! When the half-guards in Takenaka saw Guo Jia's arrival, they were instantly full of confidence. He could completely guess Guo Jia's intentions.
With the sound of a bullhorn, the follow-up troops of the Imagawa army also followed, and they also made the same plan as Guo Jia.
"Immovable as a mountain, quickly meet with Lord Guo Jia! Protect their Iron Artillery Division! "After rounds of fighting, their morale was already low, and now they have to rely on Xu Rulin brought by Guo Jia, and they have just won the battle and now their morale is high, and protecting them is the first priority. So the half-guard gave the last order.
"Your Excellency!"
"Good! The second round of attacks from the Iron Artillery Department! Southern Imagawa Cavalry! ”
The Imagawa army now has no strategists and no generals, and all they rely on is their own perseverance and the orders of the centurion, but can their fighting style be compared with Guo Jia?
With the deaths and injuries of the Imagawa cavalry that surrounded them, the answer gradually emerged.
"Your Excellency!"
Finally, at this moment, the Oda army finally converged. Guo Jia has another plan in his heart at this moment, planning to kill two birds with one stone.
"Toshiya Maeda, you have a loud voice. Say whatever I say in a moment, and you'll yell it out to me. Let the group behind you hear it. Guo Jia squinted his eyes at the Imagawa army, which was still marching.
"Oh." Maeda Toshiya is also used to Guo Jia's character of saying a little bit, and I don't know what he is going to do this time.
"Soldiers, soldiers, and generals of the Oda Army! Thank you for your contribution to us! ”
Guo Jia's voice was low on the noisy battlefield, so low that it could only be heard by the Maeda Toshiya next to him, and the Maeda Toshiie, who received the order, also began to repeat Guo Jia's words. The moment his voice came out of his mouth, the sky trembled with shock.
This loud roar was enough for the entire Oda army to be heard by the immobile mountain regiment, and the scattered sound was also heard by the vanguard of the Imagawa army.
"Thanks to your efforts, we have succeeded in retaking the city of Morimo, and we have also taken the castle into our pockets!"
This sentence came out of the mouth of Maeda Toshiie, and not only the Oda army but also the Imagawa army were stunned. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this news was like a bombshell bombarding everyone's hearts.
The appearance of the two sides has completely changed, even Qi Rufeng, who has just gone through a round of assault, is a little sluggish when he sees this scene, why are they so happy. The news spread quickly, and they naturally heard the news that Guo Jia had successfully recaptured Senmo and snatched the city.
"Today we are going to join forces with the Imagawa army! Do you have the confidence to destroy the enemy completely? Guo Jia's last sentence came out, which was an encouragement to the Oda army and an intimidation to the Imagawa army.
With Maeda Toshiie's retelling, the three regiments of the Oda Army burst out in a thunderous response.
"Fight!"
"Today, we are born as heroes, and we are ghosts in death!" This time Guo Jia didn't whisper anything, he didn't want Maeda Toshiya to repeat it for him, but he used all his strength to roar angrily!
"Today, we are born as heroes, and we are ghosts in death!" The same sentence burst out of the mouth of the Oda army, mixed with the sky-high battle intent that oppressed the troops of the Imagawa army.
At this time, Guo Jia drew his katana in order to put on a good stand, and pointed it at the main team of the Imagawa army, and his action was seen by all the Oda troops, and the morale was greatly boosted in an instant.
"All the troops are attacking!"
At this time, in a sense, Guo Jia turned one retreat battle into another, and he turned the entire battle tide with a few words of his own.
"It's like the wind! Give me a blow to their forward formation, retreat with one blow, and disrupt their march to the flanks. ”
"Thirty people will be sent to take care of the wounded soldiers, and the rest will be crashed into their barracks for me, so that they can taste your strength!"
"Its Xu Rulin Iron Artillery Department protects our left and right rear! Be careful not to let them form an encirclement! When the orders came out of Guo Jia's mouth, even the half-guards of Takenaka were sluggish.
He thought of Guo Jia's plan, but he didn't expect that Guo Jia still wanted to eat the Imagawa army in front of him!
The war has begun! The Imagawa army is now approaching the Oda army from the north and south from the north and south on the left and right flanks, and they still plan to form an encirclement, but the encirclement network in the south has allowed its Xu Rulin Iron Artillery Department to be defeated, and some soldiers have also heard Guo Jia's words, now is the time when morale is extremely low, and the north is the infantry battalion of the Imagawa army, they do not have a defense that does not move like a mountain, nor the speed of the wind, this is a shortcoming. In front of it was a cavalry battalion of about 1,000 Imagawa troops, whose charging route was completely cut off by the immovable mountain.
In the face of the immovable mountain with steel-like defense, their shortcomings were also directly discovered by Guo Jia and others. They are fast but lack defense and attack, and they can be disgusted to death by not moving.
With the roar of war between the two sides, the battle began.
"Give it to Lao Tzu!"
"! After being aggrieved for so long, there is no need to retreat! ”
"Rush! Call this group of bitches home! ”
The momentum of the Oda army was like a surging river, accompanied by their weapons and physical impact on the soldiers of the Imagawa army.
"Hahaha! It's all ours, and you still want to fight? ”
"Soft bones, come and taste grandpa's awesomeness!"
The angry scolding and the sound of swords clashing blended, and the battle situation gradually formed a crushing state, and the Imagawa army, which was not in the upper hand itself, was led to the point of no return by Guo Jia's step-by-step strategy.
"Hum," a low voice came from afar.
"Collect the troops? It's not that easy. Guo Jia looked into the distance. Order, Qi rushed like the wind from the north to directly detour to assault their camp! Don't move like a mountain to change my formation! Sharp Cone Array! ”
Guo Jia looked at the Imagawa army who were closing the formation and planning to leave, and did not let them go at all, and directly let the immovable mountain transform from a long snake-like formation to a sharp cone formation for assault attacks. As the saying goes, the clay people also have three points of fire, the cavalry team of the Imagawa army saw the enemy in front of them change their formation, obviously to treat them as soft persimmons, and they were angry from the heart, completely ignoring the military order, and directly turned back to continue to fight with the immovable mountain, but unfortunately they chose the wrong opponent, Guo Jia's goal was also achieved, as long as the wave of cavalry in front of them could not immediately withdraw from the battlefield, then Qi Qi would be like the wind and directly separate them from the battlefield.
"The left flank iron artillery department is ready!" The Spiky is a way to rush into the midst of the enemy and fight. The disadvantage of being in this formation will make your wings empty, and once you are stopped by the enemy, you will cut off the pace of the front and rear, and the corps that is placed in a sharp cone formation will become a state of being attacked by the enemy.
"Stop me from the cavalry attacking from the left and right flanks!"
With Guo Jia's order, his Xu Rulin Iron Artillery Department picked up the iron cannon in his hand and aimed at the cavalry on both sides who were scattered by the immovable mountain, they were very calm, almost half of them were people from the Iron Artillery Battalion of the Oda Army in the past, aiming with bated breath and shooting! The smoke rose and took away the cavalry that was approaching Guo Jia's camp.
"Retreat! Retreat! ”
"Run!"
"I can't beat it at all! Run! ”
The morale of the Imagawa army has been chaotic, and they no longer have the strength to fight with Guo Jia and them, and without the command of the general Geshan clan, they are completely fish and meat under the sword, cattle and sheep in the tiger's mouth.
The battlefield had become completely one-sided, and it was only a matter of time before Guo Jia's Oda army ate the crumbling soldiers.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
There is always something that cannot be avoided on the battlefield, and that is casualties. Although Guo Jia's Oda army won a victory, it still suffered casualties, and if it did not replenish its forces in time, there would definitely be problems. And where do these soldiers go to replenish? Civilians don't join the army one by one, and children can't go to war before they grow up, so they can only rely on ready-made these.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Guo Jia said this sentence for the second time, but he didn't expect the elite cavalry in front of him to surrender, but he could count on the infantry who couldn't escape at all.
"Say it again! Those who surrender will not be killed! Kill the rest for me! ”
When Guo Jia finished shouting this sentence for the last time, he added a threat, what is the most important thing for a person? The answer is life! When he watched Qi as fast as the wind and immobile as a mountain to reap the lives of their Imagawa soldiers, they had no anger, no hatred, and his heart was full of fear.
The Imagawa army is scared! The clanging sound sounded in this melee, and most of the swords, guns, swords, and halberds of the infantry of the Imagawa Army were discarded on the ground, for them, it was the best plan to survive now, who would fight against this legion if they had the chance!
That group of infantry is simply invulnerable, and the cavalry is even faster than it can stop! And they also have a strange weapon that even a solid wooden shield can't resist.
"I surrender!"
As the first sound of surrender came, one after another surrender sounded, and the group of soldiers all knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up at Guo Jia.
"Absorb, withdraw!" All the benefits must be tasted at a superficial level, since in a sense the troops of the Imagawa army have been completely annihilated, it is not a good plan to continue the pursuit, and not to take Minghai City is also part of Guo Jia's plan.
"Withdraw! Return to Morimoe Castle. Guo Jia looked at the cavalry of the Imagawa army from a distance, who were scattering and fleeing, and immediately planned to withdraw their troops.
"Master Guo Jia? Why didn't you take Narumi Castle? What a chance! "Takenaka Hanbei didn't understand Guo Jia's intentions, at this time, the defenders of Narumi City were estimated to be less than a thousand, why didn't they send troops to take it, but they had to return to Senmo City to stay.
"I have a plan, drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" Guo Jia turned his head and glanced at the half-guards in Takenaka, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
