Chapter 531: Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor Dao
After entering a distance of about fifty meters from the Luo family's army, the front row of the Higo coalition army began to charge.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At this time, the bows and arrows of the Luo family's army immediately shot the fourth round of arrows, but the more than a dozen or so samurai of the Higo Coalition Army, who were in front of the charge, were all covered with goods and equipment, and there was a hat wrapped in iron on the head of the ashigaru, so the defense against bow and arrow shooting was still relatively strong. There were a few brave warriors, with four or five arrows hanging from their bodies, and they continued to charge as if nothing had happened. However, the ashigaru peasants, who did not have much armor behind them, suffered, and many of them were shot to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhengliang secretly rejoiced, at this time, the armor of the Warring States had not yet been widely popularized, and the armor of many wealthy generals was still the large armor with complex workmanship before. As for the abundance of goods, the popularity rate is still very low because the price is still very high. Unlike Zhengliang, who has the foresight of later generations, he knows the importance of armor, so he spares no expense to purchase a lot of equipment, and even set up the Luo family's own equipment manufacturing workshop in the territory, determined to establish a self-sufficient arms system.
It is precisely because of the popularity of the Luo family's standing equipment that the samurai and ashigaru have greatly improved their defense against bows and arrows, and for the bows and arrows of the rest of the wealthy clans who do not have crossbow skills, their threat to the Luo family's standing equipment on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller. This is reflected in the fact that only a few unlucky ghosts were unfortunately shot and injured when the soldiers of the Luo family were shot by the other party, and there was not even a single case of death.
After the Luo family's bow and arrow shot over, the roar of the iron cannon in the Western army formation sounded again, and the iron cannon foot light team fired a fifth salvo.
Masarashi observed the effect of the shooting. I saw this fifth salvo. Although he only knocked down a dozen or so people from the opposing ashigaru team. However, among the dozen or so people, there were a few samurai who were shot seven or eight arrows one after another, and still charged forward brazenly. Judging by the delicacy of the opponent's armor, it should be a samurai in the strength of the Higo coalition.
"Ahh
At this time, a miserable scream was heard on the battlefield again, and it turned out that the fierce general of the Ito family in the crowd was unfortunately shot by the iron cannon for a long time, and screamed.
Panic Wu Huanjiu was wearing large armor, although it was very bulky, but its defensive power was better than that of ordinary samurai. Just now, under the volley of bows and arrows fired by the Luo family's army, he missed an arrow. Now, unfortunately, it was pierced through the neck by a projectile from an iron cannon. A large amount of blood came out of his neck.
Seeing the unwilling look in the other party's eyes, Masara immediately fell to his knees and fell to the ground, immediately overwhelmed by the crowd of Ashigaru of the Higo Coalition Army that rushed up from behind. The No. 1 general of the Ito family, who was known for his bravery, died so humiliated in the land of Higo.
At this time, the vanguard of the Feihou coalition army, Gunashigaru, had already rushed to a position that was only more than thirty meters away from the Luo family's army. For the iron cannon, the closer the shot, the stronger the lethality of the iron cannon, and the higher the hit rate.
The sixth, seventh, and eighth iron cannons of the Western army immediately fired continuously, and the Samurai Ashigaru of the Higo Coalition Army, which was charging ahead, was once again defeated.
At this time, the soldiers in the front line of the Higo Coalition Army found that their general had suddenly disappeared. And the first to discover this situation was Mitai Youtake, who had been secretly hanging at the back of the team. The big armor that has been flustered for a long time is very recognizable. After discovering that the figure of the panicked warrior Huanjiu was missing from the charging crowd, Mitai Youwu immediately searched for it. After the end, he finally found the familiar figure in a team of ashigaru corpses.
"Huh? Your Excellency, the General. Mitai Youwu, who was struggling with how to escape, immediately shouted. He didn't care who won and who lost in a battle that didn't really matter to him. He is more concerned about his own life. As soon as the army retreated, he could take advantage of the situation and escape.
The sudden exclamation of Mitai Youwu immediately made the surrounding soldiers look left and right, and when it was really confirmed that Wu Wu had died in battle for a long time, all the soldiers immediately panicked. Most of the soldiers of these wealthy clans were composed of peasant soldiers, and in such a situation, the first thought was to flee immediately. In the Warring States Campaign, the general is the weather vane of the battle, once the general dies, the war is basically over, and most of them are not samurai who are closely related to the interests of the lord, but think that the peasant soldiers who are the same as the lord.
As a result, the front line of the Feihou Coalition Army, which was tasked with breaking through the Luo family's home formation, immediately collapsed.
At this time, Jia Fei, who was also rushing in front, immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the terrifying iron artillery team of the Luo family's army finish shooting. This kind of same, when this kind of iron cannon came out of the Luo family (in fact, he saw that the Luo family deliberately sold the fire system), he also specially got a rod to study, and knew that this time was the time for the Luo family's iron artillery team to reload ammunition, and it takes a lot of time to reload the bullets, so the Higo coalition army is in this gap, taking advantage of the situation to rush to the front of the Luo family's military situation, so that the opponent's iron cannon is ineffective.
Just as Jia Fei was about to order his subordinates to speed up the charge, there was a sudden panic in the army, and many soldiers even slowed down the pace of the charge. Jia Fei was immediately taken aback, and after asking, he learned that Lu Dao, who was one of the main generals, was killed for a long time.
"Not good!" At such a critical moment, the main general was killed, this is really a very big blow, and Jia Fei secretly screamed badly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
Just as Kai personally predicted, taking advantage of the moment when the Higo coalition came to a slight pause, the archery foot light team of the Luo family's army immediately fired two rounds of arrows in a row. At this time, the front of the Chinese army of the Feihou coalition army was already close to the square formation of the Luo family's army, and it was only a dozen meters away. Such a close distance immediately caused the coalition forces to suffer great damage. The military formation also suddenly became chaotic.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Luo family's iron cannon foot light team finished reloading again.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The sound of the Luo family's iron cannon sounded again.
"Run!" Mitai Youwu, who had long had the idea of escaping, shouted, and then turned around and ran.
At this time, the strength of the Feihou coalition army has entered the maximum killing range of the iron cannon, so the Luo family's army is an iron artillery foot light team, just shoot with all their strength, and there is no need to have any reservations.
The movements of the Luo family's iron artillery team were the same as in the usual training, very fast and effective, only to see that after the first row finished shooting, the second row followed up with the shooting, and then the first row and the second row.
Raise the gun, aim, shoot.
This series of countless exercises at ordinary times, and the movements when they are proficient, the iron cannon ashigaru almost didn't think about it, and subconsciously made it. The roar of the iron cannon was almost incessant, and for a moment the sound reverberated in the plain, continuously.
At this time, the coalition mid-formation had collapsed under the attack of the Luo family, and the defeated coalition soldiers reflexively rushed into their own military formation under the leadership of the deputy general of the Ito family's reinforcements, Mita Ui Youtake, causing widespread chaos.
Such a situation has a very big psychological impact on the soldiers of the Feihou Coalition Army, who were defeated by the Luo family's army not long ago. I don't know who gave the order to retreat first, and in an instant, the troops of the wealthy families began to retreat.
The so-called dead friends are not dead and poor, Jia Fei is straightforward, and now it is up to you to intercept the pursuers of the Luo family. (To be continued......)
