Today, the enemy seems to be getting serious.

Tokugawa Kayo, who was beside Zhao Hongyu, raised his little hand on his forehead, looked at it for a while, and said to Zhao Hongyu.

Even the little girl could see some differences, how could Zhao Hongyu not see the changes in the enemy opposite.

However, Zhao Hongyu didn't care about this at all, even if the enemy was changing, he was confident that he would achieve his goal.

Hmph, meeting yourself is the most unlucky thing in the lives of these widows.

Perhaps, God allowed himself to come to this era to bring disaster to these widows, right?

Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but speculate very maliciously in his heart.

Of course, in fact, Zhao Hongyu came to this era, which was actually a very accidental thing.

And whether there is a 'God' or not, this is also unknowable.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu is unlikely to shoulder any major mission.

The reason why the Japanese people are unlucky now is just because Zhao Hongyu came to this place.

Other than that, there's no more reason for it.

"Today we are still on the defensive, don't take the initiative to attack the other side. What I want is to effectively kill and injure the enemy, reduce their forces, make them feel that they are not strong enough to destroy us, and then ask the shogunate for help. Zhao Hongyu said loudly to the left and right. Only in this way can we attract the enemy like a magnet, so that their reinforcements will continue to replenish, and finally achieve our goal. ”

What is a magnet?

After hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, the two girls, Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru, looked at Zhao Hongyu with big watery eyes.

Belch!

Zhao Hongyu paused for a moment, and then reacted as if he had said something that others didn't understand.

However, he didn't bother to explain anything to the two girls, so he just casually found some excuses to prevaricate.

Fortunately, Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru didn't explore too much, otherwise Zhao Hongyu would have been really troublesome to explain.

"Archer prepare!"

Opposite side. The archers of the crusading army have already begun to give orders.

Whew!

The archers began to spread their improvised bows and put their arrows made of bamboo on them.

Although this kind of bow and arrow is much smaller than a real bow and arrow in terms of distance and power.

However, having this thing is always better than not having it.

"Test firing!"

Sou!

Three archers stepped out of the queue and shot three arrows with a full bow.

These three arrows are an experimental way to test the distance in advance and then allow the large army to adjust.

The three bows and arrows landed on the ground when they were still half a distance away from Zhao Hongyu and them. It can be seen that this kind of bow and arrow is really not good.

Zhao Hongyu sneered.

"Order the artillery team, adjust the firing distance, and directly bombard the opponent's main formation!"

Zhao Hongyu's side also needs to adjust the artillery.

Since the other party has started, then he can't be idle here.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

The war drums of the crusaders sounded, and the ashigaru began to slowly press up with their spears.

The archers followed the ashigaru queue and needed to get to the center of the battlefield before they could get into the distance where they could shoot.

The cavalry on both wings also moved slowly, leaning around the bend little by little.

The cavalry of the crusading army at this time. They haven't started to accelerate yet.

According to Ishida Aido's orders, they could not charge until the ashigaru men began to charge at the enemy's main camp and the archers began to shoot.

And the cavalry wanted to circle the big bend with their wings, which was just to distract Zhao Hongyu and them.

Rumble!

Boom!

Zhao Hongyu's side. The artillery also fired three solid shells.

However, the artillery, which had just adjusted its trajectory, did not shoot shells into the enemy's formation.

The shells fell a few dozen meters from the enemy.

This was just a test firing in order to adjust the muzzle ballistics.

So. Not so then.

About three minutes later, the artillery team located in the rear of Zhao Hongyu's main formation began firing again.

This time the shooting. The sound of cannons is not like that, but like thunder in a dry field.

Yesterday's daytime shelling began again.

"Rush!"

Seeing Zhao Hongyu, they began to bombard, and the ashigaru generals of the crusading army gave an order, and those ashigaru roared with distorted expressions and ran like crazy.

One by one, they held up the spears in their hands, and they looked so imposing.

However, with these momentum alone, it is impossible to defeat the army under Zhao Hongyu.

Rumble!

Whoa!

Now, after firing again, the artillery team has been replaced with flowering shells.

On the way forward of the crusading army, they began to shoot coveringly.

Those flowering shells began to explode in mid-air on the way of the raiding army's charge, and the fragments of those bursting shells brought a lot of damage to the raiding army's ashigaru stormtroopers.

"Prisoners march! Savorymen protect the left and right wings! ”

The morale of today's crusading army is very high, and I don't know if it was because of a good rest and breakfast.

Although they were brutally baptized by artillery fire, they rushed forward with a scream.

However, the price they paid along the way was not small.

Not to mention, they also left five or six hundred lives, and only then did they rush to a distance of more than 100 meters outside the small dirt slope.

Such losses are not uncatastrophic.

But isn't that what war is all about.

It's not a dinner party, it's a life-and-death fight.

If Zhao Hongyu is soft-hearted, then he will definitely be abused to death.

If his enemies had defeated his team and captured him alive, his enemies would not have been merciful to him.

In the face of such a war of life and death, Zhao Hongyu will of course feel that 'you die, I will live'.

Hey!

The Osaka captives, who had received orders from Zhao Hongyu, under the command of Yuji Kawabe, began to advance with their guns.

Those rows of spears are definitely a thick wall of thorns.

If the enemy wants to attack, they will have to defeat these ashigaru.

However, it is not so easy to defeat these ashigaru. Because they also had to face attacks from musketeers on both flanks.

The musketeers under Zhao Hongyu used a five-stage burst of fire, and as long as they were used, they would be endless.

The lead bullets in the sky were shot out as if they didn't want money.

On the Japanese side, although they had muskets, or 'iron cannons', lead bullets were very valuable.

Even Europeans wouldn't shoot like this.

That's all money.

However, these people do not have the ability of Zhao Hongyu.

Who let him have a cheat against the sky?

In this era, the more precious lead bullets are as many as there are in the virtual world. And the price is terrible.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu will support this seemingly loser's musket tactic.

"Steady! Steady! The enemy is rushing up, don't panic! Our flanks are guarded by iron artillery troops, and everyone must know their strength, as long as we resist the enemy's attack, they will not be able to defeat us! ”

When Yuji Kawabe looked at the crusaders who had rushed to the bottom of the small slope and began to rush towards the upper part of the river, he immediately cheered up the captives loudly.

Actually, you don't need Yuji Riverside to cheer up. These captives also knew what they should do.

Yesterday's battle has basically convinced them a lot.

After all, it seems that a strong team like this is also very good to follow.

So. Before Yuji could speak by the river, the captives raised their guns one by one.

Bang!

The Janissary infantry musketeers on both flanks began firing when the crusading soldiers were still 200 meters away from them.

Anyway, gunpowder lead bullet is a big thing. So they don't have to save.

With Zhao Hongyu, a leader who can replenish strategic materials at will, what else do you have to worry about.

There's no need to worry.

Wow!

Burst!

Yes!

Rush, rush upward. Don't go back!

Rush forward, we will definitely be able to crush their Chinese army!

The Ashigaru generals of the crusading army kept shouting loudly.

Wielding the katana in their hands, they blended in with the crowd of the Ashigaru team, directing the ashigaru to rush towards the ashigaru.

Ahead, bursts of cyan smoke began to rise, obscuring the ranks of the genetic infantry.

At the same time, the soldiers who rushed the fastest were knocked to the ground one after another.

"The soldiers are very brave today, they are about to rush up, but the enemy occupies the favorable terrain, and their iron cannons seem to be very powerful."

In the main formation of the crusading army, Kazesho and Ishida Aido talked with serious faces.

They had been watching the battle.

Although the battle had only just begun, they had lost a lot of soldiers.

In particular, this is the loss of hundreds of fighters before the opponent has even made a close encounter.

"These foreigners are very good at iron artillery, and I have already learned it. You also watched yesterday's battle, and if the number of people is equal, in fact, we have no chance at all. Ishida nodded slightly and replied.

In fact, he was wrong in one sentence.

That is, even if the number of people is not equal, they don't seem to have much of a chance.

Wasn't that how it was yesterday.

Eventually, they lost a large number of troops in the three charges, and they had to retreat.

Of course, this is because Zhao Hongyu temporarily cheated and got out of 2,000 Gurkha cavalry.

However, it is impossible to say that Zhao Hongyu can't cheat, right?

It doesn't make sense.

You must know that this is a life-and-death war, not a game of inviting guests to dinner and pretending to be a family drink.

Hearing this, the Wind Squire squinted at the battlefield.

He noticed that the archers had begun to move into the center of the battlefield and began to draw their bows and arrows.

Only at this distance can the archers unleash their might.

There's no way around it.

Who made the archer's mistake come back to be put together on an improvised basis.

Especially those bows and arrows, which were made of bamboo on an improvised basis.

It's a matter of great luck that this thing can be used now.

"It's all damn Takahashi, if it weren't for him, we had an elite archer, then the battle situation wouldn't be like this at all."

The wind attendant gritted his teeth and cursed hatefully.

"Look, the archers are already shooting."

Ishida raised his finger at this time and pointed to the battlefield and said to the wind servant.

The attention of the two, at this moment, was drawn to the past.

Yes, they have high expectations for archers.

Whether or not they can defeat these enemies today depends on these archers.

At the same time, the cavalry on both flanks also began to move slowly, ready to start charging.

As long as the cavalry on both wings charged, then Zhao Hongyu still had to face attacks from three sides.

"Your Highness, the enemy's archers are starting to launch."

Tokugawa Kayo had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and at this time, she also saw the team of archers in the Ashigaru team, and stopped at this time.

What a hassle!

Quickly glanced at the battlefield.

By this time, the captives were already engaged with the sporadic raiders, and the Praetorian Guard's musketeers were still firing in a loop.

Although the casualties of the crusading army were heavy, today they seemed to have been beaten with blood, and they frantically launched a charge and preferred to die rather than retreat.

The captives and musketeers had no shields, and they had no defense against the archers' attacks.

The frontal battlefield is now relying on them to resist.

If you are defeated head-on, you will really fall into passivity.

In particular, at this time, the cavalry of the enemy on both flanks also began to run slowly, which was obviously a precursor to a charge.

"Where are the Eight Banners!"

"Master, the slave is here."

The Gurkha cavalry was to send out the cavalry to fight the cavalry of the crusading army on both flanks.

Now the only ones who can be used to deal with the enemy archers are the European Eight Banners Clothed Cavalry under their command.

Zhao Hongyu immediately ordered the Eight Banners to charge the archers in the center of the battlefield.

At the same time, the Gurkha cavalry split into two to entangle the pressure from the cavalry on both flanks.

This time the crusade was very clever, and the archers were scattered one by one.

Therefore, although the distance between the artillery on Zhao Hongyu's side is enough, it is difficult to cause them too much damage.

Not even with a flowering bomb.

In particular, the musketeers in front were held back by Ashigaru's onslaught.

In this way, the archers of those crusading armies can completely open their bows and arrows in a good way.

As Zhao Hongyu's orders were issued one by one, the three cavalry rushed out of the formation one after another.

And the artillery in the rear of this formation also began to stop shelling.

Artillery is not good at all, if the enemy is too close, it is useless.

Zhao Hongyu's expression was hideous and he sneered.

"Grandma, you think you can beat me like this? Lao Tzu still has a weapon that has not been used, and it will open your eyes in a while! Gao Fu Shuai will not be easily beaten! ”

"No, Lao Tzu is not only rich and handsome, Lao Tzu is a local tyrant!" (To be continued......)
