What followed was not what he expected, and the gunners began to fire from a platoon. ▲ ∴ top ▲ ∴ point ▲ ∴ small ▲ ∴ said,

It's just that they don't shoot in three rows together, but in a row and shoot nine sections.

Because the enemy's formation is too sparse to pose a threat to them.

The dense gunfire like bursting beans was incessant, and a large number of fires erupted from time to time in the array of the Ming army.

A large number of lead bullets whistled and flew towards the samurai and ashigaru, punching large holes in their bodies, and those samurai and ashigaru who were shot were killed by spitting blood from their mouths, even if they were strong.

Coupled with those non-stop firing Franc cannons, it formed an impenetrable rain of bullets.

Anyone who dares to break through this fire blockade will be dealt a fatal blow.

One after another, the Japanese soldiers fell down with unwilling faces, and their corpses fell more and more on the way forward, and the blood on the ground almost flowed into a small river.

Lu Yan looked at those desperately charging warriors with disdain, no matter how strong their will to win and how superb their martial arts were, there was no way to face this kind of platoon shooting, so they could only fall in vain in front of the army.

Times have changed, and it is no longer the time to rely on personal martial arts to fight the world.

The auxiliaries who followed the formation were basically ashigaru and did not receive much rigorous military training, but were only transferred to escort supplies during wartime.

The hundreds of thousands of troops mentioned in the ordinary history books, in fact, these auxiliaries account for a considerable part.

Seeing the samurai adults and the elite Ashigaru in front of them dying so miserably, they all trembled in fright.

In normal times, they had a low status in the army, and those samurai oppressed them to death.

The slightest disobedience is to cut off the head. It's just brutal to the extreme. How could they be willing to die for these daimyos?

So some of the ashigaru began to flee. By this time, the samurai were almost dead, and there was no one to stop their escape.

Toi Tosa's expression flashed with a complicated expression, he didn't know if he was doing it right.

He sighed, and then said to Yagyu Zongju, "Lord Yanagi, do you think this situation will continue to fight?" ”

Looking at the ashigaru who had fled one after another, Yanagi knew that this battle had been defeated.

Looking at Tosa's fat face, Yagyu suddenly felt extremely disgusted.

It is these people who do not hesitate to provoke wars in order to achieve their own goals, and even deliberately and secretly help the enemy.

"Now Toi-sama's purpose has been achieved. The enemy has finally managed to hold his ground, and we may have to lose a great battle. ”

Yanagi said coldly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Yagyu."

Tosa Torii said with an embarrassed expression.

Liu Sheng Zongju looked at Lu Yan's large array from a distance, at this time the enemy's large array had nearly 30,000 horses, and even faintly saw the shadows of many cavalry.

Yanagi Zongju snorted coldly and was about to say something.

At this moment, the rumbling of war drums came from behind, and when he looked back, he found that the whole army had begun to press on the back, and at the same time gave the order for Torii Tosa to withdraw.

Of course, the fact that now the army of Torii Tosa is "retreating".

He sighed. It seems that Matsudaira Nobutsuna no longer had confidence in simply sending Tadahiro Kato and Date Munemasa to drive the enemy into the sea, so he decided to press the whole army.

So he said to Tosa, "Since Matsudaira-sama has ordered you to retreat. Then Toi-sama, you can withdraw your troops. ”

Seeing this, Torii Tosa hurriedly agreed.

In fact, he is also extremely jealous of Yanagi Zongju, and he doesn't want to annoy him in some things.

At this time, two groups of cavalry rushed out from the rear of the Ming army's formation.

Some of their costumes were purely Ming military attire, while others looked like Mongols who had invaded the Wa Kingdom.

Their numbers were very large, and in just a short time nearly two thousand cavalry poured out, and a large number of cavalry still poured out from the rear of the enemy's formation.

The sound of more than 2,000 war horses galloping alarmed everyone, and when they saw this, those who were fleeing for their lives turned pale with fright.

They let out earth-shattering screams, each hating their parents for giving them two legs, and then ran desperately towards their own large array.

"It can't be! How could they have brought so many cavalry ashore so quickly. ”

Yagyu almost screamed.

Torii Tosa is also as earthy as his face, and he originally hoped that the remaining men and horses would be able to withdraw safely, but now it seems unlikely.

A smile appeared on Lu Yan's face, after all, the little devil still didn't have much knowledge.

Since the war against the Japanese state, he has rarely fought with other countries, and basically he is fighting a civil war by himself, and at most he bullies North Korea, and he doesn't know the power of cavalry at all.

There were also cavalry in Japan, but those cavalry rarely fought on horseback, and most of the time they only used horses as a means of movement.

Since ancient times, China has been fighting against the world's most powerful cavalry, including the Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol, etc., and almost the most powerful cavalry in the Cold Weapon Age appeared in northern China.

As a result, China has accumulated a wealth of cavalry experience, and he believes that his cavalry will definitely open the eyes of the Japanese state.

Sure enough, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was also discolored.

"Not good!"

Once those cavalry pursued and fled, it would be a one-sided slaughter.

But he didn't have much to do, the cavalry of their Wa Kingdom was too bad, and it couldn't be the opponent of those Ming troops at all.

He glanced at Date Masamune, and he did have cavalry that had been blown into the sky by the Wa Kingdom--riding iron.

That is, the cavalry equipped with muskets, but unfortunately, like Lu Yan's musket cavalry, they only use war horses as mobile tools, and they still need to dismount and fight on foot.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the fleeing soldiers in front of him with an ugly face, but fortunately they were all loyal people.

He thought for a while and said, "Pass my order to let them walk away from both sides of the big formation and not storm the big array." ”

Date Masamune glanced at him, and then said, "I'm afraid they won't listen to you, the cavalry behind is chasing too fast, and our large array is too wide, if you want to run back, you can only attack the big formation." ”

Hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was stunned at first, and then looked at him with some annoyance.

He didn't understand why Date Masamune would contradict him every time he gave an order.

"You'd better order that if they dare to charge, let the soldiers kill them. Otherwise, if they disrupt our formation, then it will be very bad. ”

Date Masamune said coldly.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna thought about it, and finally agreed, he could still tell what was good or bad.

It's just that he combined the two orders together, and Date Masamune was also noncommittal about this.

By this time, Torii Tosa was already frightened, and more and more cavalry followed him to chase them, but one of his legs had been broken, and he had to rely on the samurai to carry tatami mats to escape.

"Run! Come on!! ”

Toi Tosa, who had no idea from the sharp pain in his bumpy legs, shouted desperately at the four samurai.

The four warriors didn't say a word, but ran quickly towards their camp with their heads down.

Yanagi glanced at the large group of cavalry galloping on the opposite side, and finally sighed.

Then he turned his horse's head and flapped his horse towards his own position, shouting that he wanted to stay and protect his Tosa.

Soon the cavalry caught up with the fleeing samurai and ashigaru, and then swung their sabers or spears and slashed at the enemy.

One by one, the fleeing ashigaru was cut down to the ground, and then the war horses sat on them and stepped on them, and even the undead were trampled to death by the horses, leaving behind a bloody mud.

All of a sudden, the frightened screams of those would-be pirates rang out.

The screams made the ashigaru run faster, and few of them were willing to turn around and resist the cavalry's pursuit.

"Yaga!"

One of the samurai heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and his experience made him know that this man's target was him, and his years of experience on the battlefield had taught him that he could not give his back to the enemy, so he had to curse.

"Yaga!"

Then he turned around and stared at the cavalryman who rushed over, and the cavalryman who came galloping was a little surprised by this, didn't he know that if he stopped now, he would definitely die?

Since he wanted to die, then he would give him a ride, the cavalryman thought secretly.

I saw him unhurriedly take out his three-eyed firebolt and aim at him.

Seeing this, the samurai couldn't help but be startled.

He hurriedly rolled around on a lazy donkey, trying to dodge the three-eyed firebolt's shot.

But his movements were still late, and he only listened to "Boom! With a loud bang, three lead pellets flew out.

But due to the samurai's dodging movements, coupled with the bumpy horseback, only one lead shot hit the samurai, but that was enough.

"Ahh

The warrior let out a scream, his right leg nearly broken by a lead pellet, completely deforming his movements.

Seeing this, the cavalryman galloped past him with a sinister smile, and at the same time the three-eyed fire bolt in his hand smashed into his head.

The warrior had no time to resist under the pain, and was directly smashed by this smash and his brain burst to death.

The cavalryman sneered, and then continued to chase down the other Wa soldiers.

Seeing that those Japanese soldiers were about to run in front of the enemy's main formation, both Li Rusong and Jebel ordered the cavalry to reduce the speed of the charge, and at the same time drove those ashigaru towards the enemy formation.

"Dodge away, don't rush into battle! Otherwise we'll open fire! ”

A samurai in fine armor shouted at the fleeing ashigaru.

When the fleeing soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Now there is no end in sight to the army of the Japanese State, and it is estimated that it is at least a kilometer away.

How long will it take to go around the formation, and will the enemy give them this time? (To be continued......)
