In fact, Lu Yan and Jia Xu also felt a little strange, what was going on with the enemy? Why not attack yet?

You must know that there are tens of thousands of people, and there is no boundary. ∷Top∷Point∷Small∷ said,

It can be said that it is no longer easy to drive Lu Yan into the sea now, and the Japanese ** team has definitely missed the best opportunity to attack.

After wasting some time, the crowd finally found a tatami mat and carried Toi Tosa onto the tatami mat.

Four samurai carried him forward, and Torii Tosa's army finally moved.

At this time, there were more than 12,000 troops landed in Lu Yan, and it could be said that the climate had been formed.

Yagyu sent someone to Matsudaira Nobutsuna to report on the situation here and prepare him for possible defeat.

And he followed Torii Tosa closely, so that he would not play any more tricks.

If he dared to release water in the middle of the battle, he would never mind cutting off his head with a knife.

After learning about Tosa, Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't help but be dizzy with anger.

Then he scolded him, and after a long time, he said to Kato Tadahiro: "Kato-sama, if Toi Tosa is defeated, I will ask you to lead your subordinates out next." ”

Tadahiro Kato is the son of Kiyomasa Kato, a daimyo of Higo.

As mentioned above, Kato Kiyomasa was a famous general of the Japanese Kingdom, and the strength of his army was one and the second in the Japanese army.

There is a place called Kumamoto in Higo Country, and many people must be familiar with this place in Kumamoto, and although the Kumamoto Division in later generations is notorious, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

This is all because the people of Kumamoto are fierce, and the people are not afraid of death when they fight.

Therefore, Kato Tadahiro's subordinates are definitely the first-class strong army in the hands of Matsudaira Nobutsuna now. The combat power is not inferior to Date Masamune.

"Please rest assured, Matsudaira-sama. I'll leave that to me. ”

Tadahiro Kato said without hesitation.

Now the Kato family and the Tokugawa family are closely related. His mother was a cousin of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his main husband was the granddaughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

And his sister is also married to Tokugawa Yorinobu, and their Kato family and the Tokugawa family can be said to be related by blood, so it is incumbent on him to agree.

Seeing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna finally relaxed a little.

***

The sun is shining brightly over Hirado, and the gentle sea breeze blows from afar, bringing a faint smell of sea.

When the soldiers of Torii Tosa began to attack, a solemn atmosphere permeated the entire battlefield.

This time, Torii Tosa brought tens of thousands of soldiers, including a large number of wandering samurai and ashigaru soldiers.

In fact, Tadashi still kept a hand. Many of the samurai he sent to fight this time were wandering samurai, and there were not many samurai who directly served him.

And the samurai who are directly under him have not suffered too much loss, so even if all these people are lost, they can barely bear it.

Although these wandering warriors have lost their masters, they are all well-armoured.

Some of these armors have a long history and are a testament to their noble lineage, even from their ancestors.

As a wandering samurai who have lost their honor, they attach great importance to these armors that represent the glory of their ancestors, and they are usually very well maintained.

Although these armors contain a large number of bamboo chips, they are excellent enough to withstand the slashing of most enemy weapons.

Some armor even weighed up to 30 kg. It's almost the same weight as the shooting armor worn by Lu Yan's men.

Of course, there were more ordinary Ashigaru soldiers in the main formation, who were armed with a large number of arquebuses, bows and arrows, and bamboo guns.

Especially the ashigaru soldiers who were armed with arquebuses. After systematic training, they can even exert a power no less than that of a samurai.

Tens of thousands of Japanese invaders discharged a width of nearly a mile, and pressed towards the position of the Ming army with dense steps, which seemed to give people an extremely heavy pressure.

The Ming troops were in full array, and the warm sunlight shone on the armor in front of the formation, reflecting a golden light, which looked sacred and solemn, in stark contrast to the evil Japanese armor on the opposite side.

Some Ming troops in front of the position have desperately built some simple artillery positions, and the friction of the Japanese ** team has given them time, and at this time, a Franc machine artillery has been aimed at those Japanese soldiers.

At this time, Lu Yan and his generals had already set foot on the land here, and from the moment Lu Yan stepped on this land, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

The distance between the two parties is getting closer and closer, and at this moment, the faces of Yagyu Muneju and Torii Tosa have become extremely solemn.

Their first battle with the Ming army is about to begin, and the strength of the Ming army will soon be revealed.

The battle between the two sides finally began, and bursts of thunderous cannon suddenly came from the opposite side.

I saw that the artillery emitted bursts of fire and smoke, and the dense stones and iron bullets attacked like a torrential rain, blocking the front nearly 100 meters wide in front of them.

"Ahh

"Ahh

“……”

There were immediately screams from the Japanese ** team, and these bullets rained down on the ashigaru in the front row, and then broke through their poor armor and punched big holes in their bodies.

The ashigaru immediately collapsed in a pool of blood, and a large amount of blood flowed out of their bodies.

The severe pain in their bodies made them let out an incomparably terrible scream, and the battlefield that had just been fired and quieted down was extremely harsh.

Seeing this, both Yagyu and Tosa were stunned.

They had long heard that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and now that they saw it, it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Just this burst of artillery bombardment may have killed nearly 300 soldiers.

Although they fought very vigorously during the Warring States period, they hardly used artillery.

An inexplicable glint flashed in Tosa's eyes, and it seemed that it would be difficult to win this time.

He judged the distance between the two sides, and then said to one of the warriors beside him, "Tell the soldiers to charge immediately, or our losses will be greater." ”

Immediately after receiving the order, the samurai relayed Torii Tosa's order, and the Wa army immediately began to charge.

At this time, a small number of naval guns in the strait also opened fire. Lead bullets flew past the edge of the Ming army. smashed into the charging Japanese ** team in the distance.

Plus the intensively fired Franco-machine guns. Lead bullets and stones kept falling into the ranks of the Japanese ** team, setting off bursts of bloody rain in the Japanese ** team.

To say that the Japanese ** team has a kind of Erlenzi spirit, in the face of such fierce artillery fire, they still roared and desperately charged forward.

Soon they were within range of the Divine Arm Crossbow, and saw the soldiers of the first row kneeling on one knee, the soldiers of the second row crouching, and the soldiers of the third row standing.

Immediately after aiming at the Japanese soldiers, a salvo was fired, and for a moment the arrows were like flying locusts.

A dense rain of arrows flew through the sky. They easily pierced the armor of the enemy and shot into the bodies of the Wakoku Ashigaru and the samurai.

Some of the Japanese warriors were even hit by arrows, but those samurai roared wildly and continued to charge forward.

Some of them were a little frightened, but they continued to rush forward under the encouragement of the samurai.

After firing the crossbows, the soldiers immediately stepped back, and then three more rows of soldiers stepped forward and fired again.

And just like that, the Divine Arm Crossbowman began to shoot round after round, and as the distance approached. These arrows are getting more and more powerful.

Some completely penetrated their bodies, and some of the samurai finally gave up. Fell down.

After all those divine arm crossbows shot a round of arrow rain, some Ming soldiers walked in again.

They did not carry any bows and muskets, but carried herds of leopards and arrows.

I saw that they quickly ignited the bus of a swarm of bees, and only a few seconds later, a sharp whistling sound immediately sounded in the Ming army's military formation, and at the same time, bursts of smoke came out.

Then nearly 10,000 rockets spread a width of hundreds of meters, and then densely dragged the orange-red tail flame towards the Japanese ** team.

Rain of arrows! This is a real rain of arrows!

This kind of scene with great sound and light effects frightened many Japanese soldiers, they fought so many battles, why did they encounter such a big scene.

Some of the soldiers screamed after being hit by the rocket.

The arrows were all frequented, and all of them were smeared with flammable pine resin, so that the soldiers were soon on fire.

Seeing this, the soldiers who were hit by the arrows were so frightened that they hurriedly threw out the fire on their bodies.

At this time, the crossbowmen stepped forward again, and the rain of arrows continued to rain down on the enemy.

And whether it is Yanagi Zongju or Matsudaira Nobutsuna and others are stunned, is this the Ming army?

They have always heard of the strong firepower of the Ming army, but it is better to see it than to hear it, and it is really convincing to see it today.

After this round of blows, many of the fanatical Wakokushigaru had come to their senses, and then they became frightened and unwilling to charge forward.

Seeing this, some samurai who were eager to make meritorious contributions couldn't help but be furious.

The whole Wa kingdom has been at peace for too long, and how can they make a contribution without war? How to soar?

"Yaga! All of them charge me! Or I'll cut off his head!" ”

A Japanese samurai slashed off the head of a ashigaru who was trying to escape, and then yelled at the ashigaru.

The other samurai of the Wa Kingdom also learned from each other, killing some Ashigaru who dared to escape, they were already hungry and thirsty for merit, how could they bear these lowly Ashigaru destroying their chances of meritorious service.

Seeing this, those ashigari had no choice but to pick up their weapons again and start charging.

For these samurai, their fear has long been engraved in their bones, and they dare not resist at all.

But after this round of arrows, the samurai and ashigaru suffered extremely heavy losses, and by the time they rushed to about 100 paces, the queue had become extremely thin.

Then the Divine Arm Crossbowman stepped back, revealing the Musketeer behind him.

Seeing this, although he had already prepared in his heart, Tosa Torii trembled in distress.

These are all troops that the loyal elder spent a lot of money to build, but he didn't expect to suffer such heavy losses so quickly, and this loss has exceeded his expectations.

But Lu Yan and the others had a relaxed face, they knew that if they won this game again, it would be a devastating victory next. (To be continued......)
