Chapter 109: The Bloody Battle on the Great Plains (7)

Catherine's musketeers recruited from the concession on the eve of the expedition and the Riberia Marines were combined to form the new redcoat army, originally thinking that only half of the recruits should be no problem, plus the recruits were completely carried away by the dream of making a fortune, so they would join the army in a daze. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These guys were taught in the way the Riberian Army was trained, although they were weaker than the Native Marines in all respects, their physical fitness was quite poor, and they didn't do much physical training after they joined the army, and they were not good at naval warfare, especially the subjects of long-distance marching.

In other words, they can only fight with the wind, not for too long, otherwise there will be all kinds of situations that make people laugh bitterly.

For example, being frightened by the winged monster and unable to move, let a small wave of samurai's fearless charge directly break up the formation, or grinding and only willing to put a cold gun, and directly pretend to be dead when he hears the command to charge.

In short, how to cheat and how to come, all kinds of unreliability combined to mean that the Riberians clearly had the advantage, but Admiral Catherine lost his ability to command.

In this battle under the scorching sun, hundreds of local musketeers shamefully led the way to escape, scattering all the way that greatly affected the formation of the line infantry.

Because of this, Admiral Catherine can now only command a few hundred people around him at most, and he is completely unable to affect the infantry sequence in front.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's floating fleet also began to dispatch, "Admiral Catherine! The enemy's floating battleships are dispatched, and we need support! ”

"Roger! Contact the Bretanians right away, we need ......"

"Admiral! Emergency! The Chinese army has suffered a major change, and they are about to be broken through! ”

"What!?"

Catherine didn't expect at all how Nobunaga's thickest Chinese array could be broken through by the enemy, but now the situation didn't have time for her to think about it, because the floating fleet of the Brittans had already been dispatched, and the target was Uesugi Kennobu!

The main thing at hand was the infantry that had lost its command, and the small amount of artillery was completely unable to defend against the attack of the floating fleet, and even the Shiyu was in Nobunaga's hands, and it was not possible to arrive if he wanted to ask for reinforcements.

"What a damn start...... Officers, lead the soldiers to hold on, we can't break down at this time! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the officers began to take the initiative and rushed to the front in time to command the infantry, Catherine sighed secretly, but she left in the opposite direction with her people.

In the face of the enemy's air superiority, the Riberian soldiers exerted their combat ability to 200 percent, but their small numbers and the hot weather made their persistence of little use.

Forty minutes - it is already a miracle that they have been able to hold out for the coalition forces until now, and that about half of the members have not been killed.

These exiled warriors from the Sea Kingdom may not have fought in this environment for a long time, so they consume more physical strength than the Eastern Army, and at the same time, it is more difficult to adapt to the hot climate, and they have relied on the tenacity in their hearts to hold out for so long...... But it's already at its limit.

With heavy casualties and the disappearance of the commander, the Riberians could no longer hold off the Tokugawa army in such a terrible situation and had to give up their positions, exposing the soft flanks of the Chinese army to the opposing offensive line.

"My lord! The front line is almost overwhelmed, those powerful demons are too difficult to kill, and the priests have no way to purify everything after spending all their strength! ”

"Emergency - the Riberians on the flanks lost contact, they ......"

"Enough, look what you guys look like!"

So much bad news made Nobunaga's face quite ugly, but what made her even more unhappy was the flustered expressions of the courtiers, who were completely unthinkable.

In fact, she didn't expect that the Chinese army was facing an army of undead - all zombies who could use weapons, and Nobunaga's army, which lacked flame weapons, had no suitable equipment at all.

Now add to this the bad news that the Riberian people have lost contact, and Nobunaga himself is a little reluctant, if it weren't for the repeated contact of the Eastern Army, the shogunate leader would have wanted to retreat.

"How's the situation with the Eastern Army?" Nobunaga asked, and now the only force he could count on was this force.

"In the latest contact, they repelled the attack of the Uesugi army, and are making every effort to return to the Chinese army, and the floating fleet is returning at the same time!"

"Very wellβ€”then let the soldiers hold on, and we'll retreat some distance, by the way, don't move my flag."

"Yes!"

That's it, Lorraine had no idea that Nobunaga and Catherine were the first to leave the most dangerous battlefield of the Great Plains, leaving only a group of soldiers who had lost their command to continue the battle.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

With a crisp gunfire like fried beans, dozens of Toei Ashigaru carrying the Tokugawa Army banner were covered in blood in an instant, and fell to the ground softly.

Although the rest of the guys screamed and wanted to fight back, they saw the magic armor and the musketeers on it, and after a little hesitation, they all let out a series of wails, and they all dropped their machetes, door panels, bamboo guns, and sticks that they got out of nowhere, and pointed their butts at the bullets that continued to fly, performing the most clumsy fire transfer technique of this era.

However, looking at the back of the opponent's embarrassed rout, the Eastern Army in the return did not have a trace of jubilation.

From an hour earlier, they had received news of the danger of the Chinese army, and the Riberians had been violently swept away by the floating fleet, and the black smoke could be seen from here.

Coupled with the loss of contact with Admiral Catherine and the crumbling of Nobunaga's Chinese army, the commanders of the Eastern Army at all levels looked worried.

It wasn't until the vanguards met the outermost Tokugawa troops that they almost crushed these vulnerable guys in the face.

Some of the bewildered commanders reported this information to Lorraine, and the order was still to continue the assault, so they could only continue to charge.

Leaving behind them was a road of death paved with a large number of corpses and bones, both human and necromancy, but in front of the most well-prepared Eastern Army, only equal death awaited them.

"What's going on?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sir, it is still unknown - the communication channels of the friendly forces are in a mess, and they can only know that the Chinese army is under siege by superior enemy forces, and it may not last long. ”

"Damn it! How long will the Far East Fleet continue to hunt down the Uesugi Army!? Let them turn around immediately and send carrier-based aircraft to me to investigate, we need intelligence! ”

Lorraine's roar can be understood as anxious, if this time the battle of the plains is lost, then it will take a lot of effort to control the island nation.

It's just that the enemy can really suppress Nobunaga's troops?

I've never heard of such a strong Dongying army!
