Chapter 91: The Battle of Osaka Summer (9)
(The anti-piracy chapter can't be replaced, I'm really dizzy.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSorry guys! )
"Captain! The enemy seems to have given up resistance, and we succeeded! ”
"Well, it's really exciting to hit the army of 10,000 people again!"
The surviving magic armor talked to each other, completely unconcerned about the possible counterattack of the Songguo, although the Songguo mercenaries who cried for their father and mother had collapsed.
That's right, thousands of Songkuni mercenaries were actually defeated by the Osaka army, which was barely the same number as them, and although there were various reasons for this, failure was failure.
It's just that when the Song Guo rout army fled, the Eastern Army quickly stopped pursuing, because there were more enemies coming in the distance, and this time it was the cavalry that had long been proven unsuitable for modern combat.
With the sound of long horns, the Batu cavalry pressed up piecemeal, at first only pacing slowly just to prepare, but slowly increasing their speed.
From a distance, it seems that it is not in formation, but in fact, the impact of this wave of lineup is actually very terrifying, and it is not at all something that the Osaka Army can compete with.
"It's actually a cavalry, it looks like it's still a steppe cavalry!?"
"Captain, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, check the condition of the ammunition and the airframe!" The captain didn't run away because he was too outnumbered, and was soon reported - the team's armor could still be checked for combat, but it was slightly lacking in ammunition.
"If we escape, the brothers will all die, and everyone should understand what that means, right?"
"Of course! We followed the commander in the first place to fight, how can we run away now! ”
"yes, let's have fun!"
As the drivers say, they are people who have been swayed by the war, who have been fighting for too long to return to their daily lives, and who continue to fight with their "love" or hope of finding relief.
When they estimated that they had already entered the firing range, the strong Batu cavalry took off their horned bows from their backs and skillfully mounted the sharp and hideous wolf's tooth arrows.
In an instant, the sound of breaking the air resounded between the two armies, and then there was a scream of the arrow-hit man and the neighing of the war horse.
Although most of the unlucky ones are the Songguo defeated army and a very small number of Osaka troops, who knows about the unlucky thing like fighting.
In the face of the attack of the wolf's tooth arrows, the magic armor and the marines of course had to return the color, and for a while, the muskets and elemental cannons began to fire back wildly, and the scene was very spectacular.
As the distance between the two armies continued to approach, the Batu cavalry successively fired the first, second, and third rounds of arrow rain, causing more and more serious damage each time.
But Hayan Bhutan himself understands that their losses are not less than that of the other party, and those damn musketeers and weird magic cannons have killed an unknown number of cavalry, which is simply hateful.
Fortunately, the distance was already close to the last moment, and after being defeated by the opponent again, the Batu people fired the last round of bows and arrows, and then drew their scimitars and spears and began to charge.
"Can't wait any longer! We charge too! ”
"Yes!"
This time, no one shouted slogans again, and in the face of the large number of steppe cavalry, the magic armor fearlessly rushed forward, but immediately found that something was wrong.
When they saw the magic armor approaching them, the Batu people immediately took out a special magic item: rune paper, a piece of paper made in the East with strange words and pictures engraved on it, and as long as it was activated, it could produce various elemental damage.
Like an explosion.
I never expected to encounter such a situation, and the magic armor suddenly fell into bad luck, and it was impossible for the anti-magic circle to withstand a large number of spell attacks.
In the face of the Song people's artillery, the magic armor only lost one or two planes, but these runes engulfed them almost instantly.
No matter what their ambitions and aspirations were, they all came to naught in the explosion, although with the destruction of the magic guide armored team, ten times their steppe cavalry was killed because they could not move.
But without fortifications and equal forces, how could the Osaka Army and the Eastern Army Marines be the opponents of the steppe cavalry!
Not to mention that they are about twice as numerous as the steppe people, but they are all infantry!
After such a desperate comparison, the so-called superiority in forces is simply meaningless.
The rumbling cavalry crushed over and was in the midst of a deadly attack, and everyone was quickly grasped by fear.
The Eastern Army was okay, the New World War gave them a little experience in dealing with cavalry, but the Osaka militia had no choice.
In the face of the opponent with the advantage of mobility, they desperately struggled to counterattack, helplessly brandished their swords, like a tragic elegy, although they had tried their best to resist, but still wailed one by one and fell under the horse, and then they were trampled into flesh by countless war horses, and soon they could no longer see the slightest human form.
Snow-sparkling sabers, loud bombs, sharp spears, roaring pistols, dazzling oriental rune paper...... The diversified and advanced combat techniques of these genuine steppe cavalry have made the Osaka militia, which was still a little excited just now, suffer enough.
They once thought that they could win honor with the Eastern Army and learn the essence of modern tactics, but when it came to the moment when the swords and guns were facing each other, they found that they were not only inferior to their opponents in terms of quality, but also lagged behind in equipment and tactics for a whole era.
Use short knives, bamboo spears, and old muskets to fight against enemies who have been initially firearmed, and who still have the help of magic!
As a result, after a period of resistance, the counterattacking army was still slaughtered in front of these steppe cavalry.
In the field of vision of those high-ranking officials in the rear of the battle line, the Osaka Army, which had just broken through in the center and defeated the Songguo artillery formation, had been engaged with the enemy for less than half an hour, and it was like ice and snow under the sun, rapidly melting and collapsing, and it looked like it was about to collapse!
"It's over!"
This was the first thought that Karl saw from the original price, but he didn't expect that the other party still left so many steppe cavalry as reserves, and actually defeated the counterattack force.
Although he was really sorry for the warriors, Karl made a quick decision, "Immediately order the troops to start retreating to Osaka Castle, where we will continue to fight." ”
"But Matsuda-sama, what about the fighting troops?"
“…… Abandon! We can only retreat safely after they are cut off, and we can only hope that Nobunagami and Brittania will be reinforced by this situation, so we can act immediately without further ado! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that the commander understood things so well, of course his subordinates had to speed up - everyone could see that the victory and defeat had been decided, and if they didn't leave at this time, would they go to prison?
Obviously, none of these officers wanted to try the Tokugawa family's prison meal, only Jiufeng sat there a little disappointed, "Did we lose, Shingo?" ”
“…… This time I lost, but we still have a chance, Chief Lorraine and Oda Nobunaga still have a lot of troops to bring over, don't forget the floating fleet! ”
"Hmm...... Hopefully next time we can win! ”
"Definitely!"
As the officers took the lead in retreating, the front-line troops soon fell into confusion, and after about an hour they began to surrender one after another, and Yagyu Shibei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
DRTat the end of May 1831, the Tokugawa army finally crushed the resistance on the outskirts of Osaka and formally surrounded the commercial capital of Toei.
