Chapter 478: Iron Cavalry Duel
As soon as the two sides clashed, the spears of the Japanese people were painfully found that their three spears were shorter than the iron spears of the Ming people, and their height and arm length were also shorter than those of the Ming pikemen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
These two shortcomings are added together, and the result is that many Japanese guns are always close to attacking the Ming army, and the spears of the Ming army have already pierced their bodies, and their bamboo armor is almost defenseless against the sharp spears of the Ming army, and finally blocked by their flesh and blood.
Zhao Guang and Hu Cheng looked behind at the back of a Japanese pikeman in front of them, whose spear did not stab the pikeman in front of them, and the pikeman pierced the opponent's chest and abdomen with a shot, and this ashigaru howled in pain while holding the spear head tightly with his hand.
At this time, a spear of three spears stabbed the pikeman from behind, the pikemen let go of the spear, and retreated, while dodging to the left, but it was still too late, the pikeman's right shoulder was pierced by the three spears, he roared and grabbed the head of the spear with his left hand, and the pikeman's companion shot the result.
The battle damage of the pikemen in front of him, Zhao Guang immediately made up for it, and he said in his heart, here.
Zhao Lie saw behind him that the infantry of the two armies began to fight, and the cavalry of the Japanese people also advanced to the boundary of only sixty steps away from the cavalry of the Broken Army, protecting the two wings of the Japanese army's large array, and it was obvious that the Japanese also knew that their cavalry was not superior, and the war horses were even more scum, so their task was not to attack, but to protect the two wings of the large array was a great achievement.
When Zhao Lie saw this, he waved his right hand sharply.
The drummer gave a rapid signal with a loud brass horn.
Wang Haizhou, who commanded the 3,000 cavalry on the right wing, and Han Jian, who led the 3,000 cavalry on the left wing, heard this long-awaited signal and immediately issued a military order.
The cavalry of the Broken Army on the left and right flanks began to speed up, with 1,000 cavalry in front of them and 2,000 soldiers behind them, the cavalry was the elite of many years of training, and the soldiers were now fighting with Jiannu on their horses, and they still lacked some fire. But the enemy on the opposite side is the cavalry of the Japanese people, so there is no fear at all.
The cavalry commander in front urged the war horse, and at the same time took out the firearm in his hand and fired a volley at the cavalry of the Japanese people.
The shogunate's cavalry was preparing to meet the Ming army's cavalry under the command of Hirota Katsu, but they saw that the Ming army on the opposite side suddenly took out a short object, which was shaped like an iron cannon, but it was much shorter than an iron cannon. What is it.
Bang bang
The shogunate's cavalry immediately counterattacked, forty or fifty paces was exactly the range of the bow, but no matter how fast they shot arrows with their bows, they were not as fast as the hands of the captives, so they threw away their short guns and drew another short guns from the saddle bridge. Immediately fired, and in the roar, more than 100 Japanese cavalry fell under their horses.
Many of the Japanese horses heard the explosion of a large number of firearms at such a close distance, and began to jump in fright, some of them directly overturned the Japanese cavalry on their bodies and trampled on the horses, and some carried the riders to run around, allowing the knights to run wildly despite the reins of the horses, and the Japanese cavalry was in chaos.
The shogunate's cavalry, who had never dealt with the cavalry of the Raiders, were taken by surprise, but of course many of their archers shot their arrows.
Of course, their arrows did little damage to the cavalry of the Breakers. The cavalry of the Broken Army is fully armoured, and the Shidao horses under them are even more leather armor and the muscles and flesh protection of the horses. Often, they can only be injured, and it does not affect the operation.
One of Wu Han's guards was hit by an arrow in the neck, and he staggered down his horse holding his neck, and then was knocked off by the war horse behind him.
Wu Han watched the guard, who had been with him for a year, fall off his horse, and when he was angry, his left arm ached. A feathered arrow pierced through the armor and pierced his left arm, but fortunately, it didn't pierce the bone, he just felt the damp heat and pain on the outside of his left arm.
He reached out and tossed his arrow, and he saw that the cavalry of the Broken Army in front of him had already thrown their spears. A large number of cavalry spears pierced the iron armor of the Japanese cavalry in the front row, and the cavalry who were shot all struggled and howled and fell off their horses.
As the rear row, there was no need for Wu Han's subordinates to take out their firearms, they all drew their riding guns and urged their horses forward.
The shogunate cavalry in front of them clashed with the cavalry of the Breaker Army, and they were surprised to find that it was not easy for them to attack each other.
The war horses of the Broken Army are more than half a head higher than the horses on horseback, and the leather armor of the whole body looks like a divine horse in ancient mythology in the eyes of the cavalry.
The cavalry could only be wounded by the cavalry spear, and the saber could hardly cut the Ming cavalry.
Under the command of Wang Haizhou, the cavalry of the Broken Army bravely charged, and their ferocious spears and bayonets slashed deep into the interior of the Shogunate cavalry, and the cavalry of the Broken Army made a mess of the Shogunate cavalry formation.
This army, which was established for several years, experienced the battle of Tongjian Nu in Gyeonggi Xuancheon, and crushed the stubborn resistance of the rebel cavalry in the land of Denglai.
Seeing that his own cavalry formation in front of him was messy and messy by the Ming cavalry, he was furious, and he ordered someone to blow the horn and urge the cavalry generals to kill the enemy bravely.
The cavalry generals also understood that if the cavalry was defeated quickly, it would be equivalent to exposing the flanks of the shogunate army to the fierce Ming cavalry, and the outcome of the battle was unknown.
Then after the post-war liquidation, their cavalry team has no good fruit to eat from the general down, and I am afraid that they will all end up apologizing for their crimes.
More than a dozen cavalry generals drove the fantou to carry the cavalry to counterattack frantically, and they sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, just to delay the attack of the Ming cavalry, to delay the change, and wait for the end of the infantry battle.
When Wu Han's 1,000-strong squad rushed into the enemy formation, he found that the Japanese cavalry began to counterattack regardless of casualties, and the battle was much more fierce than the other side.
As soon as Wu Han Ji Gang and the others broke into the enemy formation, several Japanese cavalry rushed head-on, and a cavalry spear stabbed in the face, this gun stabbed from the bottom up, the angle was a little funny, not to mention that Wu Han was really uncomfortable for a while.
The iron shield of Wu Han's left arm gently blocked, and the gun head was knocked open by unloading the force, and the riding gun in his right hand stabbed the opponent, snorting, and the gun head sank deep into the opponent's chest, and the other party screamed in harmony, subconsciously grabbed the gun head, and his body was shaky, and Wu Han passed by.
Wu Han let go of his rifle and drew his saber to urge the horse forward, and his five guards also rushed over after losing one, and surrounded him to continue walking.
On the opposite side, more than ten horsemen and cavalry came violently, and one in the middle was dressed in black with full body, wearing a horn headbag, with a big bear head painted on his face armor, and a long-handled saber in his hand, rushing towards him with a whistle.
The two sides immediately faced each other in front of the war horse, Ji Gang's opposite a Japanese cavalry saber slashed over, Ji Gang's iron shield blocked, and he slashed back with a knife, this Japanese man was extremely flexible in a flash, bang, Ji Gang's saber cut off the opponent's head pocket, revealing the bun inside, and the two horses staggered away.
Then a flag spear stabbed from the right side, killing Ji Gang by surprise, he hurriedly swung the saber and slashed it, just on the head of the cavalry lance, when there was a bang, the cavalry spear was cut open, and the saber also flew out.
Ji Gang hurriedly pulled out the spare saber from the saddle, which he had specially brought with him, just to prevent this kind of defenseless situation from happening.
Wu Han was really good at the warrior with a hideous face, this person waved a long-handled saber to slash Wu Han, Wu Han blocked with a small round shield, and with a muffled bang, the long-handled saber slashed through the iron shield, breaking down Wu Han's forearm iron armor, Wu Han could clearly feel the cold blade.
Fortunately, the opponent's blade was exhausted, and it only made Wu Han's arm break the skin.
Wu Han was furious and swung his knife at the neck of this warrior when the two horses were staggered, this warrior was indeed a first-class horseman, and he quickly returned his knife and smashed Wu Han's saber with the hilt.
At this moment, a saber suddenly looked at this warrior, this was a surprise attack from Wu Han's guards from the other side.
The samurai was also very good, he hurriedly lay on his back, and with a click, blood flashed on his left shoulder, the iron armor was split, and a piece of flesh was shaved off.
But he dodged the fatal blow and ran south.
Marven rode on his horse and controlled the hundreds of teams under his command to rush forward, he glanced at it a few times in his hurry, and found that the soldiers were almost not damaged, although a few of them had feathered arrows on their bodies or horses, but they were still urging the horses to move forward and keep up with the rhythm of the team.
As soon as Marven turned around, he saw some Japanese cavalry rushing up, one of them was a samurai-like Japanese man who was extremely brave, he wielded a big knife and cleanly chopped a Ming soldier off his horse, and the saber of this cavalry of the Broken Army was not yet in time.
Then this person seemed to see that Marven was a leader, and he urged Ma Wen to drive Marven directly, and Marven was not afraid to meet him.
The two horses were relatively close, and the man looked at Marven's neck with a knife, the knife was fast, and the arm strength was amazing, and Marven hurriedly blocked it with a small iron shield on his left arm.
This warrior had already experienced the iron shield of the Broken Army, and he had already made a plan, and he suddenly turned his big knife and slashed at Marven's left arm.
Marven was caught off guard, he gritted his teeth and roared, and threw the riding spear with his right hand, as soon as the riding spear left his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his left arm, his left hand was broken off at the elbow, and blood sprayed wildly.
Marven clutched his left arm with his right hand and howled in pain, feeling very painful.
And his spear flew into the samurai's chest, and the samurai hurriedly dodged the spear sideways, and the spear trembled and passed by, and even rubbed against the goggle in front of him with a terrible sound.
The samurai had just breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp pain in his right rib, a spear pierced deeply, he let out a roar of pain, and when he could swing his broadsword in response, he sadly found that he had wielded his long-handled saber that could not be heavy.
At that moment a spear flew at him, and the samurai could only watch as he stabbed him in the chest and knocked him under his horse.
Marven stepped up his war and lay down on the saddle and gradually fell into a coma. (To be continued.) )
ps: Let me explain here that the Eastern Expedition to the Wa Kingdom is not a conquest of the Wa Kingdom for the sake of the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, the protagonist's conquest of the Wa Kingdom is around a purpose, money bags, and book friends who read the books on it will find that the shogunate closed the country and no longer communicated with the Ming Dynasty, where there are still merchant ships, then the sea tax collection is in name only, so the sea trade routes must be opened and the shogunate must be forced to open the trade routes.
