Chapter 492: The cavalry has no solution
Although Tokugawa Yoribo took advantage of the retreat of the Akito to boost the morale of the Akito, and the addition of the soldiers of the Akita and Morioka domains, the soldiers of the various domains were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But the corpses of more than a thousand people and horses were placed there, and there were still the wounded howling fiercely, and the wounded horses were screaming, and it was really not an easy thing to regain the fighting spirit of the feudal soldiers, so he also knew that this was an expedient measure.
"Two, Edo is a must-go, but the Ming people are blocking it, and it won't be peaceful on the way."
Tokugawa Yoribo looked at Tomodari Kato and Yoshinari Nakajima with a solemn face,
"I don't have to move in a long snake formation, I must get closer, once the Ming people attack, immediately set up a formation to resist the Ming cavalry."
Kato Tomosei nodded frequently with a pale face, Kato, who had not been in the battle formation, was still shocked by the galloping rush of thousands of war horses, he couldn't imagine the scene of slashing and killing if Akito rushed into the big array, since Tokugawa Raibo took the idea, he was an agreement, who made him already the master of the six gods.
Nakajima Yoshinori is much more sophisticated, Tokugawa Yoibo's method is no way, there is no large force of cavalry, but the infantry can only passively defend in the face of a large force of cavalry, Tokugawa Yoibo's method is the only choice, and he can only nod.
Now the Japanese people also feel the same pain as the Ming court, and the cavalry has no solution.
The remaining 18,000 troops were lined up and continued to move forward, but when they passed by the extremely bloody and terrible battlefield, these ashigaru were a little frightened, after all, they had not experienced a major battle formation in twenty years, and the first time they experienced bloodshed made them extremely frightened.
Under the leadership of the general Ashigaru, the ashigaru marched south, and just after walking four or five miles, the dust rose again, and the Ming army came again.
At the forefront of the day are the ashigaru people of the Sendai Domain. Among them, 400 iron gunners were lined up in the first few rows, in order to give the Ming cavalry a head-on attack, delay and shake the momentum of the Ming cavalry's rapid assault, and then use spears to block the Ming cavalry.
However, the Japanese were surprised to find that unlike the first storm-like charge, this time the Ming cavalry approached at a jogging, which could be said to be like a drizzle.
But it also prepared the ashigaru. Iron cannons, spears, and bows were all ready, waiting for the Ming army to charge.
When the two sides approached to 100 paces, the iron cannons of the Sendai Domain, the iron cannons of the Ashigaru were all aimed at the Ming cavalry approaching on the opposite side.
But they were surprised to find that the Ming cavalry also raised their guns at a distance of 100 paces, which was the rhythm of the duel with firearms, so they had to wait until sixty or seventy paces to fight each other.
Suddenly, with a bang, the Mingren's cavalry fired their firearms, and a large cloud of smoke and dust rose in front of the Mingren's cavalry.
All the Japanese people below Tokugawa Yoribo were shocked, what was the situation. Make no mistake, the range of the iron cannon is only sixty steps, this is a hundred steps, could it be that the Ming people are nervous and indiscriminately fired.
One after another, the projectiles roared, the muffled sound of the fluffy hitting the human body, and the large number of Japanese iron cannons fell to the ground with a miserable howl, indicating that the range of the Ming iron cannons was so far, far exceeding the earthen iron cannons of the Japanese iron cannons. Even the range of seventy or eighty steps of the Nanban Iron Cannon is far inferior.
The iron cannon is compared to the range and destructive power, in fact, if there is an iron armor protection in a hundred steps. Most people can be injured and not die even if they are hit by the guns of the Broken Army, but it is good for the Japanese to have bamboo armor to protect themselves, and the Ashigaru of the Date family of the Sendai Domain is well armed, and all of them have bamboo armor to protect themselves, but it is impossible to block the projectiles of the Broken Arms, and the projectiles can easily break through the armor and bring blood and death.
One shot at the two rows of nearly 100 iron cannons in front of him. And the riders who shot out in the first two rows of Akito still lined up with geese wings, ran towards the wings, and finally turned back to the rear.
However, he never stepped into the range of sixty or seventy paces of the Japanese iron cannon, and then the Ming cavalry that had come up again began to fire.
After the thudding sound, the Japanese gunners on the opposite side were cut down like big trees. The scene was somewhat spectacular in the Ming cavalry, seeing the enemy being beaten without the power to fight back, who was not happy, and cheers were heard in the Ming people's battle columns.
The next step is not reincarnation, the banging sound with wails continued to sound, and the front row of the battle formation of the Sendai Domain, which had no cavalry cover, was cut down by twenty or thirty rows, and the Ming retreated and regrouped.
The 6,000 people of the Sendai Domain's Ashigaru were killed by the fire of the cavalry of the Broken Army, and the ground was full of ashigaru who fell and rolled and screamed, and after being hit by a projectile, he could not die at that time unless he hit the head and henchmen, but the projectile rolling in the flesh and skin would cause a terrible wound, and it would also make a mess of the bones, blood vessels and muscles inside, and the miserable howls of the wounded were like human voices one after another in front of the battle.
Even the living Ashigaru was trembling when he saw such a miserable scene, and his fighting spirit melted like ice and snow, after all, he was just beaten and couldn't fight back, this was not a match, but it was like being killed in line, and there was no hope of counterattacking and winning.
At this time, in front of the battle line of the Broken Army, Nan Yong was using a telescope to admire the frightened and helpless expressions of the Japanese people, and also admired the rolling and struggling bodies on the ground, the enemy's blood would only make him excited, tsk, it would be better if it was Jiannu's flesh and blood.
Nan Yong thought with regret that since the establishment of the cavalry, he really hasn't had a hard confrontation with Jiannu's iron cavalry, but it's a pity.
Nan Yong clicked his mouth, put down the telescope, and the pride in his heart went a lot, as a Liao who was hunted down and persecuted, his mortal enemy was in the far north, but since Lord Zhao Lie's battle flag pointed here, Nan Yong of course followed without hesitation, eight years of experience showed that Lord Zhao Lie Zhao would lead them step by step to victory.
Lord Zhao Lie will definitely lead them to set foot in Liaodong, and before that, they only need to follow the adults.
Nan Yong sent a small sigh here, a little meditation on Liaodong, the opposite side of the island supervisor Yoshisei is like a mourning test, as the Sendai Domain's body as a heavy family elder led the family Tai half of the ashigaru out of the battle, halfway was bombarded and killed more than 1,000 people, this is not over, the most important thing is that you can only be beaten passively, and even the corners of the enemy's clothes can not be grasped, this, this, how to end the game.
Tokugawa Yoribo and Kato Tomosei are cold in their hearts now, and they don't have time to rejoice that their ashigaru didn't suffer such a loss, because it was a matter of time before it happened, didn't it.
The Sendai Domain will be completely defeated in two more round-trips, and it will not be on top of them by then.
"Lord Tokugawa, I can't go on like this, if I walk out of twenty or thirty miles like this, all my subordinates will be buried here."
Nakajima Prison Yoshisei's eyes were red and he bowed deeply and pleaded, he was already asking to withdraw from the army in disguise, if it went on like this, one more time, no more, one more time, he was convinced that the Ashigaru of the Sendai Domain would have to run and flee, and no one could wait to be stabbed.
As an important minister of the Sendai Domain, he must be worthy of the two lords Date Masamune and Date Tadamune, and if the 6,000 standing army is wiped out, what face will he have to meet the two lords.
Of course, Tokugawa Yoribo couldn't fully agree to it, after all, Edo was the foundation of the Tokugawa family, and on the surface it was a problem for the Tokugawa Hidetada clan, but if the shogunate was defeated, the whole country would have to fall into the Warring States period again.
And he, the Mito Domain, had to be forced into the quagmire of fighting, instead of being a fox and a fake tiger like the Gosan family, and any daimyo had to be respectful when they met.
Therefore, he still wanted to try.
Tokugawa Yoribo immediately ordered Ashigaru with an iron shield and a wooden shield to move forward to block the Ming army's charge.
But the impact of the Ming army began, and it was another impact like a square talent, and it was a passive situation in which they could only be beaten and could not fight back.
This time, before the last few rows of soldiers of the Ming army rotated up, the remaining more than 3,000 Sendai domains in front had completely collapsed, which was not about the strength of the battle, but the patience was to the limit, such as how to fight if you were close to the enemy army.
Regardless of advancing or retreating, the cavalry of the Ming army is mobile and flexible to maintain this distance, which is to make you unable to hit him, while the Ming army can constantly use the range of the firearm to bombard and kill the Japanese people.
It is extremely rare that the Sendai Domain Ashigaru has been able to hold on until now before collapsing.
Thousands of troops swarmed backwards, completely ignoring the Akito in pursuit.
Of course, the cavalry of the Breaker Army would not give up this great opportunity, and they drove away the Ashigaru Brigade of the Wajin in the rear, slashing with their horses and slashing with their spears, and quickly destroying the enemy behind the Sendai Domain.
The cavalry of the Broken Army is now extremely experienced, that is, it does not penetrate deep into the enemy's formation, but just rushes and drives away on the outer edge, so that the Japanese army's situation is more and more chaotic.
The hundreds of Sendai Clan Ashigaru behind were instantly engulfed by the sword of the Broken Army, and the remaining less than 3,000 Ashigaru finally escaped into the military formation of the Mito Domain.
At this time, more than 100 iron shields blocked the front in front of the Mito Domain's military formation, and the Ashigaru of the Sendai Domain fled from both wings.
The cavalry of the Breaker Army had already received orders, and when they saw the Ashigaru iron shield of the Japanese people, they all tightened the reins, controlled the speed of their horses, and stopped more than a hundred paces in front of the Mito Domain.
The two armies are holding each other and facing each other here.
The remaining Ashigaru of the Sendai Domain, which had been in the Mito Domain, calmed down and began to march towards the Ming army as a whole.
Under the command of Nan Yong, the cavalry of the Broken Army opened fire on the soldiers of the Mito Domain at a hundred paces, but when they heard the thud, the smoke came up, and the projectiles whistled and poured out.
Dangdang, the sound of continuous iron striking sounded, most of the projectiles were blocked by the iron shield, and many of the arms of Ashigaru who were hit were numb, but this time there was no large Ashigaru to die.
Of course, there were still unlucky ones who were hit in the legs and feet by the projectiles that came in from below, and fell to the ground and howled, but rarely, this time they blocked Akito's attack.
This calmed down the Ashigaru mood of the Wajin, and they chanted and encouraged each other to slowly approach the Ming army.
"It's still the adults who turn things around, and the sharpest iron cannon of the Ming people has been controlled by our army." Kato Tomonari is not familiar with war, but his kung fu is first-class, and when he saw that the war had stabilized, he hurriedly came to strike.
Tokugawa Yoribo smiled and accepted Kato Tomomori's welcome, he was also proud that his soldiers were quite well-trained, and he did not lose the face of the Mito Domain.
At this time, the Ashigaru Brigade, which had changed to a Japanese formation, advanced step by step, and the cavalry of the Breaker Army began to shoot and retreat.
Just when everything was tilting in favor of the Japanese people, the rear of the Japanese army suddenly broke out with the sound of horses' hooves, and the army formation behind was immediately in chaos, and it was clear that the cunning Ming people attacked the rear of Ashigaru from behind.
The miscellaneous soldiers of the other wealthy clans in the back could not block the surprise attack of the Ming army at all, but collapsed at the touch of a button, and the chaos shook the fighting spirit of the entire army formation.
