Chapter 481: Delaying Tricks

The left flank was personally commanded by the cavalry general Hirota Katsu, who was expected to hold out longer than the left flank, and if the spear was light enough to break through the Ming army's defense line and cause the collapse of the Ming army, even if the cavalry lost, it would be considered a big victory.

However, the death of Katsu Hirota caused the left wing to collapse first, which did not leave much time for the three shogunate elders.

By the time the remaining few hundred horsemen began to flee in all directions, Naotaka Ii and Toshikatsu Doi already knew, while Hotta Masamori was still in front of him, completely unaware of the impending doom.

When Naotaka Ii and Toshikatsu Doi saw the collapse of the cavalry on the left flank, they knew that the battle had been defeated, and the spears in the middle had not broken through the Ming army's defense line after paying huge casualties, and the cavalry on the right flank had also shown signs of defeat.

The cavalry of the Ming army on the left flank attacked from the flank and rear, and the defenseless guns were fatal.

At this time, Naotaka Ii did not hesitate, and immediately sent someone to order Hotta Masamori in front to withdraw his troops to defend, and at the same time ordered the 6,000 spears left in the rear to line up to protect the east, west, and north sides, covering Hotta Masamori's rear road.

Although staying in place to defend is also under siege, and the other side has a large cavalry army to watch, and the shogunate army will not be able to escape, but it is much better than an immediate collapse.

Wang Haizhou led more than 2,000 cavalry to rush from the left flank to the rear of the shogunate army, and the sound of rolling hooves was like a fierce war drum bombarding the hearts of the Japanese people.

At this time, the first to be some of the withdrawn Japanese cavalry was more than 100 people and more than 300 horseback guards of various old and high school daimyos, and they were ordered to withstand the impact of the Ming army and leave more time for the infantry formation behind.

When the two armies met, most of the hundreds of cavalry were packed up by firecrackers and cavalry guns, and the scene was bloody and fierce. The last less than two hundred cavalry were immediately overwhelmed by the onslaught of the cavalry of the Breakers.

At this time, the first line of defense outside had just been established. A group of several hundred men marched on the left flank. Many archers began to shoot arrows quickly regardless of their physical strength, and began to cause casualties among the cavalry of the Breakers.

However, the defense line that had just been established had not yet fully gained a foothold, and it was rushed in by the cavalry of the Broken Army and slashed and killed, not even with swords and guns, but only the impact and trampling of the war horses, and these hundreds of feet were destroyed lightly.

The main people who rushed here to line up were those who were resting in the back, and there were very few spears, and they were only slaughtered when they charged the cavalry.

The massacre trampled on these widows. Wang Haizhou found that a large number of spears had already been set up, and a forest of spears stood a hundred steps in front of them, and a little cold light made the war horses extremely uneasy.

Wang Haizhou immediately ordered to stop the attack, Zhao Lie had already given the order, the cavalry is to fight with the cavalry, take advantage of the chaos to pursue, and never rush the enemy's infantry formation until the last resort, so that even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses.

Of course, Wang Haizhou obeyed Zhao Lie's orders, and the cavalry and war horses of the current Broken Army are the most precious, and they really can't afford to lose. Today's battle damage has already made him feel painful in his heart, how can he charge the gun array again.

At this time, the cavalry of the Breaker Army on the right flank had also routed the shogunate cavalry. staring at the right flank of the shogunate army.

And Hotta Masamori also counted it, and finally withdrew most of the thousands of forwards under all the difficulties, of course, it was also an embarrassing escape, and even gave up the hundreds of ashigaru and samurai who fought at the front.

They re-marched two hundred paces away from the Breakers, and finally gained a foothold.

At this time, the shogunate army has lost more than 10,000 yuan, and the army is in great disgrace, if it is not supported by a strong will to survive, it will definitely be defeated, after all, half of the Thai army has been damaged, and the cavalry is no longer there, and everyone knows that this joint battle is defeated.

Zhao Lie saw the measures of the shogunate army in the rear formation, and also nodded secretly, if it was a situation where many inland Ming armies collapsed at this time, the army would not be able to restrain them at all, and the shogunate army could still support itself in the situation of being surrounded by enemies on three sides, which showed that the middle and lower-level samurai played a great role.

Of course, Zhao Lie didn't come here to praise the warriors of the Japanese people, he immediately ordered the cavalry to supervise it, and the infantry team no longer approached, after all, the damage caused by the trapped beast fighting to the broken army may be great.

Zhao Lie immediately ordered the artillery commander to send gunners, with the big killer weapon of artillery, and the shogunate army was not afraid even if it was all shrunk into a turtle shell, and it could be smashed open.

"Two adults, what should I do now?" Hotta Masamori's head pocket was gone, and the head of the moon was scattered, extremely embarrassed.

At this time, his frizziness is reflected, after all, the time he has been in the old middle school is too short, and he has not experienced many major events, and it is normal to be flustered.

"Now it's just holding on, no matter what, it's going to be dark, as long as it's dark, scatter and protrude, as long as you can go back to Edo and keep some standing reserves for the general."

Naotaka Jing had already made up his mind, and there was only one way to go at this time, and it was impossible to escape from the daytime breakthrough under the pursuit of the Ming people's cavalry.

Toshikatsu Doi also agrees with Naotaka Ii's approach, and now there is only this way to go.

Hotta Masamori looked at the noon sun in pain, this is still two hours to survive, and I don't know if I can survive it, if Akito ignores the impact of casualties, he estimates that it is enough.

As if seeing Hotta Masamori's thoughts, Doi Toshikatsu said, "Don't worry, the Akito will not attack with all their might, otherwise they will have more than half of their own casualties, although we are not there with the army, but the general will also organize a counterattack by the army, Akito is these people, as long as the general Akito does not go crazy, he will not order a strong attack." ”

Doi Toshikatsu's words are good, and Zhao Lie is not crazy, but the Japanese are destined to not be able to keep it dark.

"The old man, the old man... A general of Ashigaru on duty in the south rushed in a panic,

"Three adults, Mingren is going to bombard with a big cylinder."

The three of them heard the sound of their heads, they all forgot about the damn big tube, the Ming people have dozens of gates, if they stick here, the Ming people use the big tube to bombard for an hour, and what formation will be blown down, and it is simply a luxury to keep it until dark.

A few people were still surprised, and the roar of the Ming people's barrel had already begun.

At this time, in order to set up a formation to defend against the enemy, the formation of the shogunate army was extremely dense, and as soon as the projectile landed, it was a dozen casualties to stop the projectile, and immediately dozens of blood flowers seemed to bloom in the military formation of the shogunate army.

Among the three shogunate elders, you look at me, I see you looking at each other, what to do, no one can tell.

Boom, boom, the second round of shelling began again, and dozens of explosion points appeared, but wherever the projectiles landed, there were corpses and parts everywhere, as well as terrified ashigaru and samurai, who could accept to fight to death, but they were not willing to be torn apart by the projectiles like this.

Jing Yi Naotaka has sent people who know all the generals and generals to let the ashigaru be alienated and not too dense, but in order to prevent the Ming cavalry and infantry from charging into formation, do you dare to let the formation be too sparse, the infantry team is okay to say, how can you prepare almost when you rush up, but the cavalry can break through the formation with more than a dozen breaths of effort, so no matter how sparse the formation is, it can't go anywhere, this is not a solution to the problem.

After another shelling, Toshikatsu Doi could no longer bear it.

"I'll go to the Ming army to negotiate peace." What he said surprised Hotta Masamori.

"This loses the face of the general." Hotta Masamori was simply furious. Why is it unthinkable to let the powerful shogunate army surrender to the always cowardly Akito.

"Then what should I do, do you want to continue the battle with Akito." Toshikatsu Doi squinted at him.

Hotta Masamori was speechless for a while, he wanted to say that of course he had to fight, but this was meaningless, and it only added to the laughing stock.

When the army was at its peak, it did not defeat the Ming people's foot formation, and now how can the Ming people be defeated when the army is scattered.

"It's good to let Akito's artillery stop for a while, and of course it's better to delay it until dark." Jing Yi Naotaka sighed, this sentence means that he agrees, in fact, the peace discussion stings him the most.

As the elder of the shogunate, that is, the elder of the pen family, this defeat and the suing for peace, will definitely become the target of all Japan in the future, and at the same time, he can imagine becoming a scapegoat for this defeat.

But for the sake of the survival of the Tokugawa family's strength, this humiliation had to be endured.

As for whether the talks can be negotiated or not, it is best if they cannot be negotiated, as long as they can be delayed until dark, any means can be used.

Doi Toshikatsu didn't say much, a long delay at this time will cause more Ashigaru to die, and at this time, time is really life.

Zhao Lie was in the back of the battle quite leisurely watching the gunners shoot live targets, which was a great enjoyment, especially as a person in later generations.

In later generations, the Japanese bombed and bombed Japanese air raids, and the great China could only endure bitterly, and how depressed it was, it was an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese in later generations.

Now seeing the projectiles raging in the shogunate army, the refreshment in Zhao Lie's heart is needless to mention.

Maybe the bloody rain set off by the projectiles in the shogunate army made some people feel disgusting, but Zhao Lie watched it with relish, this is a gluttonous feast.

At this moment, a white flag in front of the shogunate army kept shaking, and Zhao Lie sneered in his heart, and sure enough, he came.

The Japanese are good at taking advantage of the delay in peace talks, which has been learned in later generations, and has always raised the white flag and discussed peace with each other, which has the meaning of talking, but more I am afraid that it is just a delay, after all, they can't do big things, and the general has to nod to count.

But in order to control the situation of the Japanese kingdom for itself, it is necessary to talk about it.

Zhao Lie summoned Zhao Da to give a few commands, and Zhao Da immediately urged the horse forward.

Doi Toshikatsu anxiously watched Akito's cannon begin to brush again, seeing that a new shelling was about to begin, and Akito's reply had not yet come, which made him anxious.

At this moment, Akito began to shout for them to pass as soon as possible, and if they did not arrive by the time of a stick of incense, the shelling would begin.

When the translation was translated, Doi Toshikatsu's heart tightened, and it seemed that their intentions had been seen through by the Akito. (To be continued.) )
