Chapter 90: The Battle of Osaka Summer (8)
There are always some people in the world who still stand up at critical moments - although it cannot be said to be completely voluntary, it is precisely because of them that the world seems so ......
Bloody. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the shogunate army was completely crushed by the artillery of the Songkuni mercenaries, and the Eastern Army marines were really not sure that they could win with a thousand men, the magic armor blew the horn of counterattack.
"For the Empress! For Britannia! ”
With the command and gesture of the captain, a member of the magic armor team next to him took out a large flare musket that was set aside.
Loaded with a specially made flare, pointed far ahead, and then with a "bang", the flare soared upwards and shot into the sky.
A red signal popped up in the sky, and then the magic armor led the Osaka militia to take the initiative to charge!
That's right, you read that right! Except for the Magic Guided Armored Squad as arrowheads, there are no units with the ability to charge strongly, only those militia as reserves.
Oh, by the way, and the thousand-man marines of the Eastern Army, who saw the red flares and heard the slogan for Britannia, these veterans of the regular army of the Reich a year ago immediately took up their weapons and joined the charge and began to attack the enemy's military formation from the flank.
There was no doubt about the impact of the magic armor, but poor Osaka simply couldn't muster enough cavalry to follow, so they had to rely on militia, which was said to have some combat effectiveness......
As we all know, the Dongying soldiers were generally short in stature, and their physical strength and arm strength were also very problematic, most of them could not use hard bows at all, and the firearms in the Oda army's reserves would not be issued to them at all, so they could only fight with bamboo spears and short knives, and their combat effectiveness was really difficult to say.
So, although Carl did his best and did not deduct too much corruption, the Osaka troops of the shogunate who finally rushed out were still just ordinary goods, and it seemed that they were simply sending food to the people of Songguo.
In addition, most of them are infantry, their mobility is not very good, and their endurance on long marches is not satisfactory, and they are not able to charge with heavy armor (metal armor is too heavy and expensive).
But it was very surprising that the military formation that stood in front of the Songguo people was broken through in a very short time, and it did not look like a brave battle on the previous defense lines.
The Magic Leader Armored Squad didn't care about this, just like the heavy knights of the Middle Ages, their mission was to keep breaking through until they broke through the opponent's entire army formation and then did it again.
However, the anti-magic runes on the shell of the magic guide armor can't resist too much magic, but the Tokugawa army's spell casting power is quite strong.
A large number of spells attacked, overshadowing all the noisy noises, violently stimulating the eardrums of all the soldiers present.
Looking up, I saw the magic armor rushing through the flames and explosions, and the scarred armor could even see the injured pilot, but they were still charging, and no one stopped even if their teammates fell!
"Rush! For Britannia! Advance! ”
With a terrible roar, the captain took the lead and rushed into the ranks of the Songguo mercenaries at the first time, raising heavy weapons and elemental cannons to slaughter wantonly.
Of course, the Songguo people did not give up, and they used whatever they had at hand that could be used to fight back, but the lightly armored militia and the Eastern Army Marines took advantage of the situation to follow up, and it didn't take long to reach the enemy array, and everyone along the way was terrified, and they dodged in a hurry, giving way to a wide passage.
This is not to blame the Tokugawa army for not being strong, it stands to reason that it was also the Toei elite trained by Tokugawa Ieyasu, but they were suddenly attacked and for some reason that cannot be said, they let the enemy penetrate the military formation.
By the way, the position of the Songguo people was given to the enemy.
In just three minutes, the artillery array of the Song people fell into a sea of blood and fire, and Lu Xiuwen, as a staff officer, was stunned at this time as his own mercenary army was about to be destroyed, but there was no way at all.
"Lord Yagyu! Please, can you save the mercenaries of Songguo? ”
"I'm sorry, I need reinforcements on many fronts here, and there are really no extra people to help you, to be honest, there are not many enemy troops over there, and the people of Songguo can completely drive them away or annihilate them?"
Seeing the somewhat playful smile of Yanagi Shibei, Lu Xiuwen lowered his head bitterly, understanding what the other party meant-since you can kill friendly troops in battle, then you can try to save yourself this time.
The question is where the people of Songguo can save themselves, if they can defeat the enemy in the case of hand-to-hand combat, where will they be ravaged by the Batu Empire countless times.
This is like the Song Dynasty in the Earth Age, the long-range strike force is super powerful, and once it is close to someone, it is like an idiot who only knows how to escape when his IQ is offline.
In the mercenary ranks, military generals and civil officials can also cooperate sincerely to find a way together, if it is within the country...... Hehe, one word, two words, endless bitterness or don't say it.
I have spent a lot of money on training the army over the years, and it seems that it is about to be completely wiped out, and it is impossible to even leave a scumbag.
The grand blueprint of enriching the country and strengthening the army in Lu Xiuwen's heart, as well as the good wish of returning to his hometown in brocade clothes, basically declared bankruptcy.
Next, the country is likely to be transformed into a colosseum, bathed in the smoke of gunfire.
But it has little to do with himself, the leader of the mercenary army who has lost his subordinates, in any case, there is always someone to take responsibility for the failure of this mercenary battle, and I don't know how it will be difficult for those investors after returning home.
However, this is the way things are in this world, and when you are so desperate that you are about to give up, there is often a glimmer of hope.
"Stop!"
Just as Lu Xiuwen was thinking wildly, with a series of loud horse neighings, the military formation began to become a little noisy, "I didn't expect you Dongying dwarves to be so useless in battle, and they were all beaten in!" ”
I don't know when a lot of Batu cavalry appeared, and the leader was Hayan Bhutan!
"Lord Hayan Bhutan!? Didn't you go on another mission? ”
"You mean looting?" Hayan Bhutan showed a cruel smile, "That's just a small person, I like the delicate body of the Dongying girl very much, and it is really a little different from the Songguo girl!" ”
"Uh...... So what are you doing now? ”
"Of course I'm here to fight! You're moving too slowly, it's time for you to see how the Prairie Warriors fight! ”
These cavalrymen wore iron helmets, light armor, sabers, short boots, and quivers in their saddles.
Not to mention the equipment distributed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, everyone is equipped with short muskets and magic items, and they stand in front of everyone with a murderous horse, which makes people feel intimidated.
Most of the cavalry still had a lot of fresh blood on their clothes that had not yet dried up, so it was completely conceivable what they had done before.
Liu Sheng Shibei and Lu Xiuwen's feelings were very complicated, but they didn't stand up to stop each other, but said in unison, "Then please Hayan Bhutan!" ”
"Humph! Let's go, boys! ”
