Chapter 419: Fat Reinforcements
Japan's war horses are mainly bantam horses, and to be honest, this is much worse than China's war horses. Therefore, although many heroes claim to have cavalry, their cavalry is generally only used to disperse the enemy's spear formation on the battlefield, or to increase the momentum of their own army.
And the battle between ordinary cavalry is just to ride a war horse to the battlefield, and then dismount and slash. It was also in the middle and late Warring States period, after the skills of the horse gun gradually developed, the combat ability of the cavalry on the horse also gradually developed.
However, the cavalry of the Luo family was different, although they still used bantam horses, and each horse was equipped with the latest stirrups created by the armory. With stirrups, cavalry could play a greater role on warhorses. Coupled with the short spear designed by Zhengliang according to the physical characteristics of the bantam horse, the Luo family cavalry had another long-range attack weapon.
When 200 short guns were fired into the camp of the Urachi family and the neighboring Tajiri family, one by one the short guns took their lives in the crowd like a grim reaper.
After seeing the tragic situation of their comrades-in-arms around them, the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape all avoided it. The coalition formation is even more chaotic.
The cavalry of the Luo family appeared one by one between the two armies in a majestic manner, and then turned the horse's head and returned to the battlefield with the stunned expressions of the heroes.
It's not that the heroes of Chikugo don't want to stop these cavalry, it's just that there are only a dozen or so war horses at most in the homes of these heroes, and even if they are pulled into the battlefield, they are not other people's opponents. After all, they are not super strong like the Otomo family, and they can pull out hundreds of war horses casually.
As a result, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Chikugo coalition army of more than 1,000 people. Like fools, he watched the cavalry of the Luo family sway back and forth in front of them. And from time to time, they were even shot by the opponent's short gun array to hit a large number of people. But only a few daring fellows dared to pick up their bows and arrows and shoot back once or twice.
At the end, the cavalry of the Luo family walked back and forth on the battlefield three times in a rather boring way, and after shooting the short guns in their hands in three rounds, they returned to the flank of the formation very unwillingly in accordance with the flag order of the Chinese army.
"Send someone to tell Isono Yuanchang, don't give me a constipated look, let him prepare it for me, and it will depend on his performance later." Masarashi said to the herald in front of him.
After a period of development. The heralds of the Luo family have been divided into two categories, one is the flag commanders who have been following the main generals, and are specifically responsible for receiving orders through the flag orders.
On the other hand, there is the ordinary herald who is responsible for directly conveying passwords and letters.
Although the herald who knelt in front of Masato did not know what the so-called "constipation" of the Lord of the Nation of the Nation of Lu Dao meant, with his clever mind, he already roughly understood the meaning of the Lord of the Nation, so after saluting again, he quickly ran towards the flank of the main formation of the Luo family.
Over there, as one of the protagonists, Isono Yuanchang is indeed super depressed at the moment, and he really can't bear Chikugo's group of guys who are not "strong" at all. If it weren't for the temporary military commander in the formation, Fu Luo Sasuke, who had been standing beside him, he would have started scolding his mother a long time ago.
And when Masayo's military order reached his ears. His eyes lit up suddenly, and then Huo Ran turned to his subordinates who also looked dissatisfied and shouted: "Little rabbit cubs, wake me up, and when we have a chance to play, we will smash their chrysanthemums directly." ”
Immediately a cheer rang out from all the men.
After hearing Isono Yuanchang's words, Sasuke of the military on the side immediately frowned. But he couldn't make a reproach, because that was what the lord of the kingdom used to say when he personally trained his soldiers. Could he point out that there is something wrong with such words? Of course not. So his eyes widened, and he once again paid attention to the situation on the battlefield.
"Huh?" Roche Sasuke exclaimed in surprise, because he actually saw the iron cannon team of the lord of the country actually come on. This is very inconsistent with what the Lord of the Kingdom usually said when he told them about tactics in the Luo Dojo.
With the limited power and size of the Iron Artillery Corps, their role is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. It is to play the role of a raid. Why is it that today, before the infantry team is engaged, the iron artillery team is on the field?
Yes. A commander-in-chief must learn to observe the situation on the battlefield. After seeing that the coalition army on the opposite side was hit by the Luo family's cavalry team, there were signs of retreating, and Zhengliang immediately let the iron artillery team enter the battlefield in advance.
You must not let the opponent shrink on the spot and defend. Even if you win, you'll waste a lot of time. At this time, the dark chess set by Zhengliang was already in action according to the plan.
Once the opposing coalition retreats into defense, there will be a difference in time, and the best effect will not be achieved. And the other side also has enough time to react. Since the other party is unwilling to move forward, then let them accelerate their retreat or even rout.
After signaling the banner commander to prepare the cavalry, Masarashi gave the order to the iron artillery team to fire a salvo.
Yes, Masato asked for a salvo, not free fire. At such a distance, the actual lethality of the iron artillery team is limited, so Masashi wants to use the huge gunfire of the iron artillery team to scare the enemy.
Sure enough, after suddenly seeing a soldier wielding a weapon capable of emitting sparks and making loud noises, the coalition soldiers began to retreat.
"It's now, let Isono Yuanchang mess them up for me." Masahiro saw the opportunity to convey the order to the flag commanders.
The herald immediately stood on a high platform and issued a flag order.
"Kill! Rabbit cubs, let's go straight to the chrysanthemums in Puchi. Isono Shoichi, who had already plugged the horse's ears and was waiting a little impatiently, pulled the reins and said to the cavalry beside him.
"Kill! The chrysanthemum that smashed straight into Puchi Jiansheng ......" suddenly sounded a somewhat strange shouting sound on the battlefield. When Masara heard this shouting of killing, he almost didn't fall off his beloved horse Baili Hei.
"This bald thing!" Masato said fiercely.
Now the iron artillery team on the battlefield is still roaring at the coalition army, and the cavalry team of the Luo family is also trying to outflank the coalition army from the side. However, this is not enough.
In order to make dumplings for this coalition army, it is necessary to make way for the Kuroki army near the exit of the plains. As long as they fought desperately on the road, the cavalry of the Luo family could not quickly bypass them and then surround the coalition forces from behind.
Now it's up to the Kuroki Army to perform.
"Brother, let's retreat quickly." Today, Minoru Kuroki, who was in the first battle, said anxiously to Kuroki Kantaka, the head of the Kuroki family.
"No, as long as we support it for a while, after the other three families converge on our side, we will be able to block the attack of the Luo family's army, as long as we block them this time, we will be able to get a chance to breathe, I have received news from the Kamachi family, the Omiya family of Higo has responded to the call of the Otomo family and is organizing reinforcements to come to support, we just need to temporarily block their attack." Kuroki Kantaka said with a firm face.
"What? Higo reinforcements? (To be continued......)
