Chapter 42: The Great Battle in Kyoto (End)

"Boost morale? The pervert who tore through one side of his clothes with a bow and arrow, and the one next to him who was wearing conspicuous white armor and holding a katana in his hand, this is their leader? ”

"Admiral, that armor seems to be made of silver!"

"That's a lot of money!"

The soldiers were not nervous at all, and if they saw the mages on the other side, they were just a group of semi-professional soldiers armed with cold weapons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Don't be careless! Everyone, the line infantry phalanx is lined up! Fight for a round to defeat them! ”

"Yes!"

Emperor Tokusho and his gang and the samurai group on the other side watched the Riberian change formation, and gradually lost their voices, and it was very difficult for the Toei people to be able to change the queue quickly and disciplinedly in this era.

Although the Riberians had better rifles, the exiles who had lost their land had not yet developed better tactics and had to follow the tactics of the line infantry before the kingdom.

The commanders of the Red Coats continued to believe that only fire in dense formations could maximize the casualties of the enemy, and the lines were arranged for the purpose of exerting the heaviest firepower.

"General Catherine, is this the traditional way of warfare in your country?"

“…… Yes, His Majesty the Emperor. It may be a relaxed relationship, Catherine seems to be of a good nature, and takes the initiative to open her mouth to begin to explain to Emperor Tokusho.

"What you see is the line musket infantry tactic most commonly used by the Kingdom of Riberia, and indeed by the entire Western nations.

"For the most part, three formations were used: line, phalanx, and column, and now I line up the infantry in a wide and shallow line, and then fire a salvo, in a line with two to four rows of soldiers, to ensure maximum damage from the muskets."

"It's really an elite teacher......"

"Of course! However, there are also disadvantages - although the reloading speed and accuracy of the new rifles have been much improved compared with the previous ones, they are very vulnerable against cavalry, and they cannot hold their positions against advancing infantry columns. ”

"I see, fortunately, there aren't many cavalry in the minister's house opposite."

"It's not so much cavalry as infantry on horseback, you see, their horseback skills are really not very good."

While Catherine was explaining the tactics of Riberia's infantry to Emperor Tokusho, the Shimada brothers felt they couldn't wait any longer.

"Brother, you see that the enemy is calmly arranging the formation, it is really a rare enemy in his life, and he can't let them continue."

"Brother, then let me lead the ninja army and cavalry team to attack them from both flanks, you break through the middle and enter the soul with one shot, and the female general must be captured!"

"Well said, without further ado, let's get moving!"

"Hey! I wish you good luck! ”

Under the leadership of the Shimada brothers, the samurai group gradually divided into three parts: the cavalry that quickly detoured back to the left flank of the enemy, the Musou ninja army who headed to the right flank, and the samurai who prepared to break through in the center.

Looking at their appearance, they are indeed enthusiastic, and with the fact that quite a few samurai are just twenty years old, it doesn't seem like a problem to say that they are a group of adult middle two.

But the left flank of the Riberians was a large ruin, and there was no problem for the cavalry to come over, as if they were to charge, they would definitely crash or fall to their death.

Unfortunately, the young cavalrymen did not have this awareness, and before they had fully detoured, they began to think of the Riberians to charge.

"Stop on the right flank!"

"Raise your gun and aim!"

The soldiers raised their guns under the officer's orders, and the cavalry continued to attack slowly in this direction at a speed of ten yards in the ruins.

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang

In front of the position of the Kyoto Castle Minister's Quarter, a series of fires suddenly lit up, accompanied by a deafening sound of gunfire.

Hundreds of metal bullets slashed through the air, smashing at the heads of the slowly advancing cavalry, falling into their ranks of cavalry that were not dispersed at all, and immediately setting off a bloody storm!

"Shoot at will on the right flank, and get up the bayonet after three rounds to kill those idiots!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the cavalry team had an unfavorable start, the Shimada brothers' faces were a little bad, and the eldest brother took the arrow with a gloomy face and opened the bow, and the enchanted bow and arrow in his hand lit up with a slight aura, and then an arrow instantly hit the advancing Riberia soldiers.

"Good archery! It's Shimada Hanzo-sama! ”

"Let Xiyi see our strength!"

Hanzo nodded with satisfaction, but then found that those Xiyi soldiers did not stop at all, and were still moving slowly, even if they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, they were not moved in the slightest.

At this moment, the ninja army also began to attack from the left flank, these nimble ninjas were not as easy to hit as the cavalry, Catherine saw that a single round of shooting did not kill a few people, and decisively gave a new order.

"Pass the order down and let the grenadiers use special shells!"

"Yes!"

After Shimada Genji easily dodged another round of shooting, he was only about sixty paces away from the enemy's general, and although the ninja army he brought was already killed or wounded, the chance of success was in front of him!

Then I saw a group of sturdy soldiers throwing out some bombshells, fortunately, a dozen shells, even if they were all flowering shells or ricocheting bombs, could not kill many people, not to mention that he brought ninjas.

However, before these soldiers who were lucky enough to die could breathe a sigh of relief and relieve the tension of escaping death, the real disaster struck.

The lines of those bomb shells began to glow, and a dark green and black smoke soon appeared, and the most unlucky ninjas sprayed their faces directly, and immediately fell to the ground screaming, and their whole bodies convulsed before they died in less than ten seconds.

"It's poison gas!"

Before Shimada Genji could come up with a countermeasure, the poisonous gas spread, and the ninja army was caught off guard and almost wiped out in an instant!

"I didn't expect Xiyi to be so despicable! Brother, it's up to you! ”

Hanzo Shimada also saw the scene over there, if those poisonous fogs were thrown on his side, then ......

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he could only pick up his bow and arrow and continue to shoot those red-clothed Xiyi, but after firing the bow twenty times in a row, Hanzo had to put down the bow and arrow and start resting.

At this time, the line infantry had already reached a position of a hundred meters and stopped, "Can't wait any longer, listen to my orders!" Charge! ”

"Hey!" The samurai beside him waved Shimada's flag, and soon the samurai began to howl and rushed towards the Riberia.

"Hah! The monkeys are rushing over! Soldiers, aim! "Hearing the order of the officer leading the team, no one will make a mess at this time, thanks to the shelling that cleared the nearby buildings, at least more than three hundred infantry here are able to shoot at the enemy.

"The first row of shots after the bayonet on the bayonet! The second platoon charged with bayonets after two shots, and the others followed after three shots, understand? ”

The shouts of the people of the East were getting closer and closer, and the hands of the Ribelian soldiers were a little slippery, and the next moment they heard the order - "Fire!" ”

The first platoon was the first platoon, and the soldiers immediately drew their bayonets after the shooting, and then the second platoon fired to completely interrupt the charge of the Dongying people.

The loss of a tenth of the troops in an instant is terrible for any assault troops, and even more terrible is that they hesitate in front of the enemy!

The Riberians did not give the samurai any time to think, and after the ensuing third row of firing and the second second platoon, the officers roared and led the soldiers in a bayonet charge.

The Shimada brothers could not believe that thousands of samurai were blinded by several rounds of guns, and then the enemy launched a bayonet charge, and then the rout followed.

"Brother, we ...... Defeated......"

“…… That's right. Shimada, who had long seen that the situation was wrong, observed in the dark for a while, "There is no one in Kyoto who can fight against the red-clothed Xiyi, let's go." ”

"Where to go?"

“…… I can only find Oda Nobunaga, hoping that she still remembers that she is a native of Toei in her heart. ”

"That's all there is to it."
