The summer sun is full of heat, and the bloody ground is only steel and flames.
"Boom! Bang! ”
At the headquarters of each of the three families, the flash of the muzzles of the artillery was faintly lit, and with the scream of the cannonballs tearing through the air, huge clouds of smoke suddenly rose from the Osaka Plain, where the three armies were fighting.
The crimson flames and thick black smoke scurried around for a while, and countless unlucky ghosts with flames all over their bodies rolled and wailed back and forth on the ground.
Among them, there are many mercenaries such as pointy-eared elves, bearded dwarves, blue-faced and fanged orcs, five big and three thick Rus, as well as Songguo and Batu steppe cavalry from the Silk Continent.
There were the largest number of yellow-skinned and black-haired natives, but they all collapsed on a messy plain under the blazing fire, reduced to unrecognizable piles of char.
Although the artillery fire of the Gosanya was obviously inaccurate, and usually exploded into the sky along with friendly and enemy forces, in the end, the caliber was not large enough, and the number of artillery was not enough, which could only cause a small amount of trouble to the unobstructed attacking troops.
More often than not, it was still the traditional infantry cold weapon tactics and the newly formed line infantry platoon guns, and the sound of thumping muskets never stopped from the very beginning.
The results also proved the unrivaled status of firearms in warfare, and troops without the same equipment were knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye by a rain of lead bullets and shotguns, which was faster than a sickle cutting wheat.
Even if the caster joins in to help, their combat time is limited by magic, even if they can kill a company of soldiers in an instant, they will be beaten out in the next round of guns, and rolling to the rear is their only option.
Moments later, just as the remaining survivors of the frontline confrontation were lying on the ground and gasping for breath, looking at their compatriots rolling and moaning all over the ground, more soldiers, urged by the Warlords, shouted and left their positions with knives and spears, and marched towards their opponents.
"It's really miserable, how can I feel bloodier than the Battle of Nuremberg?" With 6,000 soldiers of the Eastern Army joining the battlefield, and the floating fleet behind him, Lorraine did not immediately enter the battle, but picked up the binoculars and looked at the frontal battlefield.
"It's true that the dog is bloody, the people of Dongying are not used to modern warfare, this kind of dull opponent can defeat them by giving me three legions!"
Alexander obviously didn't think much of the battles on the Great Plains, and this dull chopping was just the most brainless war of attrition, without the slightest meaning.
"You're right, but why don't I seem to see the monks?"
"Maybe they're all dead, what are we going to do next?"
"Let's wait......"
Just when Lorraine and the others had nothing to do, Akamatsu Kobayashi was about to despair - although Uesugi Kenshin came to the battlefield with a large army, he had no intention of supporting the monks and soldiers, and the intention of openly betraying his teammates was simply a scoundrel!
"Damn tigress, how can you do this to me!?"
"Lord Akamatsu Kobayashi, the Tokugawa army is still compressing the encirclement, and we are about to be finished!"
"Shut up! I know! ”
A dull rumbling sound came from the outside one after another, accompanied by a slight vibration, and several oil lamps in the cave turned on and off.
Akamatsu Kobayashi and his guards took refuge in this unknown bear cave, and from time to time dazzling flashes pierced the narrow ventilation*** into the dark cave, where gravel, dust, cockroaches and other insects appeared in front of them from time to time.
The monk was sitting on the ground with a blank face, no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to care about the oppressive atmosphere around him or the dust fluttering above his head.
It's okay to say that the ammunition is exhausted, the monks and soldiers are now completely pressed and beaten, and the ammunition provided by the female tiger has long been exhausted, and they can only rely on flesh and blood to face the Tokugawa army.
Most of the monks and soldiers at the bottom do not have high cultural knowledge, and they are not afraid of death after being brainwashed by religion, but Akamatsu Kobayashi and his guards certainly don't want to die.

A strong fortress is often not breached from the outside, the vast majority of fortresses are breached from the inside, not to mention the emergence of damned survival traitors among the troops who still hold out to resist.
Left behind suspicions of mutual suspicion, unable to unite and repel the enemy - so that while the coalition forces gradually began to cease fire, the Makarov side collapsed incredibly quickly.
The two armies had only formally exchanged fire for less than three hours, and the defending coalition forces were basically left with the job of cleaning up the battlefield.
"That's the end of it?" Lorraine looked at the large number of prisoners, and the retreating enemy troops that were gradually disappearing in the distance, and he was a little confused.
"Ah, that's right! Even the spellcasters, the magic armor, and the air force were not dispatched, and these fools collapsed - what the hell were they here for? Catherine was also confused, and had no idea what this wave of enemies was trying to do.
Nobunaga looked at the two generals with some helplessness, as for Alexander...... At this time, the Black Warrior Commander was busy searching for the strong corpse, and his Black Warrior Guard finally looked like he had the resources to expand.
"These people came to attack the barracks, although they were unsuccessful, but they still disrupted the deployment of our army, at least half of the troops were driven away, and there were not a few days to prepare our side and not be able to fight!"
This is Nobunaga's summary after the dawn count, of course, this "our" refers to the large number of Oda troops, the unfortunate lower troops suffered heavy casualties last night, at least 10,000 were killed or missing in battle, and many more were being treated.
The lucky ones can accept the "hey, hey, hey" treatment of the Eastern Army Military Band, and the more unfortunate ones can only rely on the more traditional cruel treatment of the military doctors, hoping that their survival rate can reach one-third.
In any case, the Uesugi mercenaries who attacked the Oda army had failed, and about 3,000 soldiers became their prisoners, most of whom would become slaves of Admiral Catherine to offset Nobunaga's hiring expenses.
As for the Uesugi female tiger that Makarov always couldn't wait...... There is also news.
“…… According to the results of aerial reconnaissance, the Tokugawa army and the Uesugi army also fought last night, and the result was still won by Tokugawa Ieyasu, but I don't know why the two families did not invest too many troops, and they began to move this way after dawn. ”
The results of the aerial reconnaissance made everyone frown, and if they were not mistaken, the Uesugi army and the Tokugawa army were approaching the Oda army, then the greatest possibility could only be that they united.
