Chapter 188: A Great Victory
Li Rusong nodded, and then led them to launch a final charge against the enemy. ※%Top※%Dot※%Small※%Say,
The momentum of the charge of more than 5,000 horsemen was quite amazing, and the mountains were full of cavalry.
They rolled up a cloud of dust and, under the cover of the deserters, fiercely rushed towards the enemy's array.
Seeing this, the general hurriedly said loudly: "Shoot quickly, you must not let them rush over." ”
There was no mercy in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, and they reloaded faster, and the dense rain of bullets continued to hit the deserters.
The archers in the back also kept throwing arrows upward, and a large amount of arrows rained down on the crowd.
Hundreds of deserters were beaten to death and then lay in pools of blood.
They wailed in despair, wondering why their own people were so ruthless to them.
The cavalry stepped over their corpses, clinging their bodies to their horses, and then rushed forward desperately.
One of the cavalry's mounts was unfortunately hit by the enemy's buckshot, and then the man and the horse fell forward fiercely, and rolled forward for more than ten meters before stopping.
Crushed a Japanese deserter who fell in a pool of blood to pieces.
But more cavalry continued to rush forward after him.
When they came across their own fallen robes, they controlled their horses to jump over, and if it was an enemy's, they stepped on it, and trampled the enemy to the point of spitting blood and dying.
The muskets of the Japanese army were incessant, and the air over the position was filled with thick smoke of gunpowder, and one after another deserters and cavalry fell to the ground.
But soon the cavalry rushed within range of the Three-Eyed Firebolt.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
“……”
The three-eyed firearms in their hands opened fire one after another, and a large amount of lead bullets or iron sand fired at the enemy line.
Due to the fact that the enemy position is quite dense. Therefore, these buckshot and the vast majority of iron sand almost hit the target.
"Ahh
"Ahh
“……”
The musketeers were shot one after another. Some screamed loudly as they covered their pockmarked faces or injured chests.
Their incessant gunfire immediately stopped. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry advanced rapidly.
I saw that the entire cavalry team was castrated like the wind, and the distance between them and the Japanese ** team quickly narrowed.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, the general secretly shouted that it was not good.
Since they had never faced a cavalry armed with a three-eyed firebolt, they had no idea how powerful it was, so he didn't have time to bring in the pikemen.
"The pikemen stepped forward, and the musketeers and archers stepped back."
The general shouted.
At his command, the musketeers and archers retreated. But some of the wounded musketeers did not have time to retreat at all.
The cavalry had already rushed at them with men and horses, and then they had slammed into them with men and horses.
Some of the musketeers in front of them were knocked out without even screaming, and flew straight backwards.
Then he slammed into the spearmen who came to support him from behind, knocking them together into a rolling gourd.
The cavalrymen knew that they could not allow the pikemen to form a large formation, otherwise their losses would only be too heavy, so they hurried forward to fight the enemy.
Spears, sabers, and three-eyed muskets slashed and smashed at the enemy, killing pikemen, musketeers, and archers who had no time to retreat.
Not to be outdone, the pikemen quickly formed a large formation and prepared to fight the cavalry.
After a cavalryman killed a musketeer, he continued to charge backwards with only a slight reduction in castration. Seeing this, more than a dozen bamboo spears stabbed at him at the same time.
The cavalryman accelerated suddenly. Then it slammed into several bamboo guns directly in front of him.
The bamboo spear stabbed the horse's body fiercely, and then the horse's body pierced several bloody holes.
But the horse was castrated and slammed all the way forward.
Not only did he bend the bamboo spear, but he also crashed straight into those spearmen.
He slammed one of the pikemen backwards, killing and wounding all three pikemen, before the horse fell to the ground with a wail.
All of a sudden, the entire large array was full of people on their backs.
Soon, however, more and more cavalry rushed from behind, and with the three-eyed muskets in their hands, they fired fiercely at the phalanx of pikes.
A large number of lead pellets and iron sand were fired at the pikemen, who were shot one after another.
They were all beaten to the point of screaming, either with a big hole in their chests or with blood all over their faces.
The cavalry took the opportunity to rush forward, only to let out a strange roar, and then picked up the three-eyed muskets in their hands and smashed them into the wounded pikemen, smashing them to death, and then rushed backwards.
The cavalry's nemesis, the pikemen's phalanx, was quickly breached.
The rapid collapse of the phalanx of spears surprised the archers and musketeers behind them, who looked at the cavalry in astonishment.
Wasn't the pike-phalanx always the nemesis of cavalry? How could it be breached so quickly.
But now they had no chance to think about it, and the cavalry had already sneered at the archers and musketeers.
In the face of fierce cavalry at close range, these musketeers and archers were no different from sheep, and those cavalrymen were like tigers entering a flock, slashing and killing these musketeers and archers, and cutting down musketeers and archers to the ground.
They rushed to the left and right among the musketeers and archers, and they were imposing.
Seeing this, those musketeers and archers were terrified.
Many people threw down their weapons and fled.
Seeing this, some samurai couldn't help but be furious.
"You are not allowed to escape, and whoever escapes will cut him down."
Some of the samurai even couldn't help but slash down the deserters.
But that didn't stop the archers and musketeers from escaping, and they weren't fools.
The 30,000 troops in front were wiped out, and the enemy army had pressed down. If nothing else. They lost this battle.
If you had escaped earlier, you might have had a chance to live. Otherwise, you might die here.
Due to the unexpectedly weak will of these Japanese soldiers, these cavalry easily crushed the large formation.
Some of the samurai who tried to resist were quickly killed by the cavalry, and then rushed like ducks to the rest of the formation.
In fact, there are not many complete large arrays of the Wa Kingdom now.
Due to the successive defeats, the entire Japanese ** team was frightened and their morale was low.
In the face of the onslaught of those cavalry, there were very few large formations that could withstand it.
On the entire battlefield, the Japanese state has shown a situation of total defeat.
At this time, Lu Yan's infantry and the enemy also began to fight, and the continuous rain of arrows kept shooting towards the enemy's large array.
If nothing else, it won't be long. The great array in front of them will also be crushed.
"Let's go quickly, this defeat is decided."
At this time, Date Masamune said.
He has been in the Warring States for decades, and he is not a person who cannot afford to be defeated.
Even Tokugawa Ieyasu was once killed by a group of rioting folk men and fled alone, so what was his defeat.
As long as you can get back on the field in the future, this defeat is nothing.
"Run? Can the General spare me? ”
Matsudaira Nobutsuna smiled miserably.
Hearing this, everyone sighed.
The first battle with the Ming army was a big defeat, and Tokugawa Iemitsu would definitely punish them heavily.
Don't talk about those big names, maybe you can fool the past by cutting down the fiefdoms, after all, they don't have the main responsibility.
But the commander of these people, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, cannot escape the responsibility, and he will definitely become a sinner for the entire Wa country.
"Let's go. Tell the Shogun everything here. Tell him to be careful, this time the Ming army is very strong. ”
Matsudaira Nobutsuna seems to have made up his mind. Then he said to them with a resolute face.
"Then Matsudaira-sama, what are you going to ......?"
Seeing this, not long after he fled back, Matsuura Zhenxin, who had a embarrassed face, said with some surprise.
"Since this battle has been lost, what face do I, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, have to meet the Shogun, so I have decided to repay the Shogun with death."
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face was gloomy.
Compared to seppuku, the fate of dying on the battlefield is much better, so those who oppose him have little reason to embarrass his family.
Seeing this, everyone sighed, and even Yanagi Zongju didn't persuade him anything.
"Lord Yanagi, please tell the general. I have the trust of the general, and I can only repay him with death. ”
Matsudaira Nobutsuna respectfully bowed to the teacher who had taught him swordsmanship.
Then he mounted his horse and rushed towards the enemy, and several of his samurai hesitated before rushing over.
But the vast majority did not follow, but their faces were full of shame, and they bowed their heads and did not say a word.
Seeing this, everyone was disdainful.
The samurai who can follow the head of the family to die are the real samurai, but in fact, there are too few such samurai, and the vast majority of samurai are greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise there would be so many wandering samurai in the Wa Kingdom.
Yanagi Soju sighed, this is probably the best destination for Matsudaira Nobutsuna.
So the crowd of horses no longer hesitated, and left here one after another.
Now the Japanese ** team has begun to collapse completely, and if you don't leave, you really can't go.
With the departure of these people, the whole war is considered to have come to an end.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna chose the most heroic way of death, and he led several samurai to launch a suicidal charge towards the location of Lu Yan's banner, and then was shot into a hedgehog in a dense rain of arrows.
Seeing that their own commander was dead and fleeing, those Japanese soldiers had no fighting spirit and scattered like birds and beasts.
Next, the cavalry pursued and killed all the way, until they reached the camp of the Japanese state before stopping.
Along the way, the corpses were all over the field, and the mountains and rivers changed color.
On the ground within a radius of dozens of miles, the corpses of Japanese soldiers can be seen everywhere.
In order to avoid the plague, Lü Yan ordered the corpses of all the Japanese soldiers to be burned, and did not attack the Japanese camp until the third day. (To be continued......)
