Woo!

Woooooo

The sound of military trumpets

The crusading army lined up, and the heralds constantly shuttled through the ranks of the various military formations, conveying the orders of the commander-in-chief.

At noon, the crusaders finally arrived at a small dirt slope on the outskirts of Zhao Hongyu's temporary camp and laid out the attack formation.

Before the crusading army arrived here, Zhao Hongyu and the others had obtained the information of the ninjas.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu led his troops out of the camp in advance and came to the small dirt slope to occupy the favorable terrain.

Thirty-six guns, behind five hundred Janissary infantry.

The European cavalry was waiting behind Zhao Hongyu.

Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar led the former pirates who had already entered the household registration of the Song Kingdom, wearing various armors and holding weapons, and stayed in the rear as a reserve.

Some of these people wore Japanese-style armor, some wore Ming armor, and some even wore Goryeo armor.

Yuji Kawabe and Jozo Iguchi drove more than 400 captives from the former Osaka Castle and lined up at the front.

These guys were armed with long bamboo spears and wore their original small black leather armor.

They are the cannon fodder soldiers in Zhao Hongyu's eyes.

And that's all they can do.

"You have no way out, those leaflets have been distributed to Osaka Castle and Edo, do you think you have any way back?"

Yuji Kawabe rode on his horse, and kept shouting loudly to these captives.

These captives looked at the crusading army on the opposite side, and they trembled one by one, as if they were small quails.

Such a person still has a fart combat power to speak of.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu didn't ask them too much, just asked them to be good cannon fodder.

But the question is, how can these people be able to fight for themselves without worrying about them falling against each other on the battlefield?

For this reason, Zhao Hongyu spent a lot of brain cells.

Fortunately, there is this guy Yuji Riverside. Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu really didn't know what to do.

Leaflets are just one of the small means.

This was just to ensure that the captives had no way out.

However, if you really want them to work hard, then it is nothing more than the word profit.

Yuji Kawabe clapped his hands, and immediately two people came to these captives with a large mouthful of boxes.

At the signal of Yuji Kawabe, the lid of the box was opened.

Not!

The captives had different expressions.

The silver of the powerful white flowers in the chest.

"A person can get a bucket of rice for a tael of silver for his head!"

Wow!

When Yuji Kawabe announced the reward, the captives' eyes widened.

They couldn't believe that an enemy's head could be rewarded so heavily.

In their soldiers' careers, they didn't think about it at all.

"Words count. As long as you can cut off the heads of your enemies, then we can make it. As for whether you can eat the rice and get the silver of the flowers, it depends on your own ability. ”

Yuji Kawabe rode around and after saying these words, he came to the back of the line of the captives.

Although the loyalty of the captive soldiers is not very good, driven by interests, these guys still have more or less increased their momentum.

"Hopefully they'll be able to withstand a charge, I don't expect much from them."

When Yuji Riverbe rode a horse to the back of the queue, Iguchi Shuzo whispered to Yuji Riverside.

Yuji Kawabe smiled when he heard this: "My expectations for them are still very high. I don't have any loyalty, but I think I'll fight to the death under the reward. Who doesn't want to eat white flowers' rice, some of them have never eaten it until now. ”

Yuji Kawabe is true that the standard of living of the Japanese people was not very high in the 16th century.

Most of the people. The rice eaten is not white flowers, and it is basically a grain that belongs to the type of fine bran.

But that's it, and only the small wealthy with status can enjoy it.

Ordinary people eat rice balls wrapped in coarse bran from sweet potato leaves. Served with a bowl of soup with two slices of white radish.

Rice, that's the food that only daimyos can enjoy.

In particular, Zhao Hongyu's rice was purchased from another time and space. It is more plump and beautiful than the rice of this era, and just looking at it makes people swallow saliva unconsciously.

For the Japanese people like dicks, the attraction of rice is still very high.

For the sake of food, humans can often burst out with a strong force.

Yuji Kawabe felt that these captives could do this.

What's more, there is still a tael of silver to be gained.

You must know that the soldiers on the side of the Japanese country do not have a lot of military salaries every month.

That is, two meals a day are only managed, and the military salary is given so many copper coins every month.

A tael of silver?

Don't even think about it.

In Japan, gold is cheap and silver is expensive, so silver is very valuable here in the Wakoku country.

The reactions of the captives were mixed, some felt that they should turn against the battlefield, but more felt that they had no way to retreat anyway, and it was better to follow these foreigners.

Of course, everyone looked at the crusading army at its peak, and their hearts kept beating the drum.

Because they don't know the way, whether they can survive the attack of the crusading army.

After all, their numbers are too small.

For the victory of this battle, only Zhao Hongyu is very sure.

"This time, the other party didn't get any formation for Lao Tzu."

Thinking of the confrontation with the army of Osaka City a few days ago, the army of Osaka City was stunned to come up with a crane wing formation, which made Zhao Hongyu panic.

But today he took a look at the lineup of the crusading army, it seemed to be a very ordinary two fronts, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

In fact, he knows the Tao there, and the arrogant Takahashi doesn't know how to do it at all, so he knows what kind of formation he has there.

Moreover, he has a large number of people, and he doesn't take Zhao Hongyu and them in his eyes at all, in his opinion, as long as there is a charge on his side, then he can kill Zhao Hongyu and them.

So. What do you do with the formation?

Troublesome.

Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru, as Zhao Hongyu's subordinates, also followed.

After all, this battle is also about their future.

If Zhao Hongyu loses this battle, they will have to run away with Zhao Hongyu.

Therefore, at this time, they must follow Zhao Hongyu's side.

And Hattori Chizuru has another mission, which is to protect Zhao Hongyu from being attacked by the Koga ninjas.

At this time, Goda had already taken the remaining seven Koga ninjas and hid them in the ranks of the crusading army.

So. This has to be guarded against.

Tokugawa Kayo's face was a little unpleasant at this time, but it was the first time she had been on the battlefield and faced so many enemies.

In particular, the number of enemies is several times greater than on their side.

The little girl was able to follow Zhao Hongyu and not cry out, which was already very strong.

Zhao Hongyu looked at Tokugawa Kayo, who was pale, and comforted her: "Have confidence in me, don't look at our small numbers, but I promise that the victory will be ours." ”

Tokugawa Kayo glanced at Zhao Hongyu pitifully, she really didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was. Why do you have such a strong self-confidence, believing that you will be able to defeat the enemy?

There are quite a few enemies on the other side, and there are only a few of us ourselves.

With so many people, you want to defeat so many enemies. This is obviously a bit unrealistic.

Tokugawa Kayo's idea actually represents the meaning of many people.

It's just that they don't know what to do, and Zhao Hongyu's self-confidence is not for no reason.

"Don't believe me? It does not matter. You'll see how I win! ”

Sensing Tokugawa Kayo's disbelief, Zhao Hongyu smiled at all.

In fact, Zhao Hongyu also knows the truth. Many of Tokugawa Kayo and others don't believe this, but it actually makes sense.

After all, their thinking and cognition are different from their own.

Therefore, if you want them to believe and be shocked, and at the same time really feel your own strength, then you must have the other party really feel it in this battle.

"Your Highness, I believe in you!"

Hattori Chizuru, who had been silent, said something that surprised Zhao Hongyu very much at this time.

Zhao Hongyu and Tokugawa Kayo both turned their heads sideways and looked at the tomboy Chizuru Hattori.

"Chizuru, why do you believe me?" , Zhao Hongyu asked very strangely, "If you want to know Lu Dao, even Jia Dai doesn't believe it." ”

Zhao Hongyu winked at Qianhe.

Well...... Hattori Chizuru pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Actually, I don't know what Lu Dao is, but seeing that Your Highness is so confident, I think you must have a reason for your self-confidence, unless you are a fool or an idiot, otherwise how can you still have such strong confidence to defeat so many enemies." ”

Belch!

After Zhao Hongyu heard Hattori Chizuru's words, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Hattori Chizuru didn't stop because of Zhao Hongyu's stupid appearance, she continued: "Is Your Highness an idiot and stupid? Apparently not, for I have been with you for some days, and I can conclude that you are not such a person, Your Highness. Then according to this assertion, you must have a purpose. ”

I can't imagine that the tomboy Chizuru still has such insight.

Zhao Hongyu finally felt a little better in his heart.

When he first listened to Hattori Chizuru, he thought that Hattori Chizuru said that he was an idiot who didn't know what to do and was arrogant.

It turns out that Hattori Chizuru thinks that he has some support, which is why he is so confident.

Well, in fact, Hattori Chizuru is right, and he does rely on it.

He relied on the thirty-six guns at the rear of the ranks.

"Since you are so confident, then I will show you how I defeated these crusaders!" , Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded to Hattori Chizuru, then turned around and shouted: "Load the touch grenade and fire three rounds in a salvo!" (To be continued......)
