Chapter 599:, Crane Wing Array! (Three more!) )
midnight
In the nameless plain near Osaka's commercial town, which has been reduced to ruins, a battle that is not too fierce is fought here.
The two opposing sides, one is a local powerful lord with 5,000 soldiers, which can be described as a snake like a local snake.
In terms of numbers, the landlords had a great advantage, and the morale of the army was stable, believing that victory would definitely be on their side.
On the other hand, the other side is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, with less than a thousand external forces.
As the saying goes, it's not a raptor but a river, and a dragon fight begins.
Whether the Earth Head Snake can win or the River Dragon can win, the final result depends on the outcome of the battle.
Both sides have a strong desire to fight.
Therefore, as soon as the battle began, both sides were excited.
For the Wa people, these enemies can bring them honor and profit, just cut off their heads.
These things are not difficult things in their opinion.
It's just a few hundred people, so what's so difficult about that?
"Crane Wing Formation! Ashigaru Charge! ”
Tanaka's reaction was still very fast, and when he found that the foreigners in front of him were already waiting for them, and began to press down slowly, he immediately gave a strong order for the soldiers to start arraying.
Although Tanaka's character is not very good, the soldiers he trained are still good.
In a short period of time, the Crane Wing Array took shape, and at the same time met the Genetic Guards who pressed over.
At this time, the weapons of the Japanese ashigaru were basically long spears, which were made of tough bamboo poles with sharp iron heads embedded in the heads.
Compared to those militias, this weapon is already considered good.
What's more, the half-body armor made of bamboo. In addition to a small hat, it is really much stronger than the militia who have nothing.
Moreover, the length of the spear on the Japanese side is very long, usually six or seven meters long.
In the face of such a gun cluster, if it is a cavalry, there is basically nothing to do.
Of course, in terms of the mobility of the cavalry, it is not impossible to defeat these ashigaru.
It's just that if the ashigaru learned the phalanx of Europe, it would be really troublesome.
It's a pity that on the eastern side, they don't know what the Spanish phalanx is at all.
Fifteen hundred ashigaru. It was divided into fifteen small teams, each with a hundred people.
Tanaka personally led a hundred people as the main formation, with seven small teams on the left and right wings, forming a formation like a crane spreading its wings.
In such a formation, the main attack is on both sides of the enemy, and at the same time, under the impact of one team after another, it is like a wave and is very powerful.
This formation is the famous formation of Takeda Shingen in the Warring States Period, although the Takeda family said that they created it, but everyone knows that this formation was actually learned from the western continent. It wasn't created by their Takeda family at all.
The reason why they say this is just to put gold on their own faces.
If you want to talk about formations, is it better than the dynasty on the continent to the west?
Just kidding.
And Tanaka's crane wing array was learned from the Takeda family.
Now it's out. It's all about showmanship.
The two sides of the Crane Wing Array spread out and slowly surrounded them, and at the same time, the pressure of the Chinese army brought a lot of pressure to the Genetic Guards.
It is not for nothing that this formation became famous.
"Line up! Shoot! ”
Shots rang out, and the ashigaru in the middle of the Crane Wing Formation fell to the ground one after another. But the wings still pressed up.
The five-stage shooting technique plus the queue of the queue party must be closely lined up to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy, but because of the limitation of the number of people. There is no way to cope with the pressure on the wings.
Unless they are willing to divide their forces.
However, the ranks of the Genetic Human Praetorian Guard were originally small.
If you divide the troops, then its power will become even smaller.
So, they can't divide their forces.
"Five-stage shooting becomes three-stage shooting, and the last two columns open fire left and right!"
Fortunately, in the face of such a situation, the Praetorian Guard has long been confident.
After all, they had gone through such dangers when they fought the Iroquois in the Americas, and they fought the British.
Therefore, I already knew how to deal with it.
Therefore, on the side of the Genetic Human Praetorian Guard, the fourth and fifth columns quickly broke away and met them separately.
Although the number was a little scarce, with the sharpness of the muskets, it still withstood the Tanaka army from both flanks, and eased the pressure of the battle.
After Zhao Hongyu saw this kind of scene in the rear, he couldn't help but let out a 'yo he'.
"What kind of formation is this, it looks like a crane wing formation."
After seeing Tanaka with Ashigaru facing the lined formation, Zhao Hongyu muttered to himself in the back.
This was the first time he had seen a formation appear in a war, and when he was in the Americas, the Indians didn't know it, let alone the British.
What kind of formation is it, the British will never understand.
"Someone's coming!"
Seeing that his team was temporarily suppressed and was being 'bullied' because of the small number of people, Zhao Hongyu was a little tired.
Today's Jialazhangjing, Obama, the servant of the Eight Banners of Europe, immediately rushed over, with a flattering look: "Your Highness, what's the matter?" ”
"You bring men to charge up and attack the flanks of those infantry and disrupt their formation. But you remember, don't fight the enemy hand-to-hand. ”
There are now three hundred clothed minions left around him, but fortunately, they are all cavalry, and they can be regarded as a group of mobile.
Moreover, the other side still has 500 cavalry and 500 banners and thousands of militia that have not yet been used, so they must take precautions.
The best way now is to defeat these ashigaru in a short period of time in order to relieve the pressure that follows.
If you can't defeat these ashigaru, then when those banners, cavalry, and militia come out, then your side will be in danger.
Alas, the disadvantage in numbers is really annoying.
"Please, master, please, the slave will go."
The fluent Beijing film sounded, and then Obama reflexively turned his horse's head and said hello, and then rushed out of the gang with the Eight Banners under his command.
When Obama and the others came out, the remaining two Alajangin and their men. It was a look of envy.
Without him, because you can cut off your head to gain experience when you go out into battle, this thing is real.
They all need experience now, but they can't move without the master's orders.
Now that Obama has to give the order, he has gained more experience than he does.
This guy was already about to level up, and now that he was done, wouldn't he be the first Niu Lu after fighting this battle.
Oh, why didn't His Highness let himself go out.
There are too many 'mobs' in front of this, and there is also a 'mini-boss' in the back.
"Hmph. What's so great about the Crane Wing Array, there is a revised version of the car suspension array here in Lao Tzu! ”
Zhao Hongyu looked at Obama and the Eight Banners under his command who were roaring away, and muttered secretly in his heart.
Whew!
Wearing European-style improved armor, Obama rushed into the battle formation with the excited screams of his robbers.
They had been waiting, and they had been impatient.
Now that they have been ordered, where are these people still holding their backs?
Therefore, all of them were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their faces were twisted with excitement, looking as if they were Shura from hell.
Under the faint reflection of the fire, it was really scared to death.
"The Great Loop!!
When the team was about to rush to the left flank of Ashigaru Tanaka. As soon as Obama raised his hand, he raised the short firearm in his hand and shouted, and immediately the whole team began to slowly turn into a big circle.
Large loop design
If you have played the game "Rome", you will definitely know that this is the unique riding and archery skill of the barbarians.
Able to shoot enemies in circles and keep a distance from them. It brings a lot of damage to the enemy, but the enemy is helpless against him.
It's a fuck-up, but practical skill.
Now, after improvements. The bow and arrow turned into a fire bolt, and the power became greater.
At a time, about ten people can release the fire bolt at the same time, dealing damage to the enemy on the opposite side. Then use the time to turn in circles to reload gunpowder and buckshot.
Overall, this is the cavalry version of the five-dan archery technique.
Tanaka had seen this tactic before, and now that their offensive was resisted by the Praetorian Guards, they began to suffer a large number of casualties.
So that's when he's in a hurry.
At this time, Obama's arrival made him even worse.
"Charge! Death to those who dare to retreat! ”
Click!
After slashing down a ashigaru with a single sword, Tanaka shouted hoarsely.
Bang! Bang! Phew!
The muskets of the Praetorian Guards, after fighting for a while, began to exert their great power.
At the same time, it also brought a lot of damage to the ashigaru.
Although the bamboo spear is very long, it is inferior to the musket.
The shooting distance of the musket is much farther and more powerful than that of the bamboo gun.
The screams rang out continuously, and the ashigaru fell to the ground one after another.
From the beginning of the battle to now, it has only been a short five minutes, but a large number of ashigaru people have fallen.
A rough estimate is that there are about three or four hundred people.
Most of the ashigaru were not killed immediately, they were only injured by lead bullets.
But even so, they are all ineffective.
The loss of three or four hundred people was not insignificant, and it also affected the formation of the Crane Wing Formation.
The Japanese who originally looked down on the 'iron cannon' are now dumbfounded.
They originally thought that Tanaka and his men would be able to easily win against these foreigners who were inferior in numbers, but judging from the current battle situation, this was completely unlikely.
Even, Tanaka is still being pressed and beaten.
Nani!
What's going on?
How could such a thing happen, it could be that I was dazzled.
Many people raised their hands and rubbed their eyes in unison, and then they looked at the battlefield and realized that this was the truth.
There was nothing wrong with his eyes.
"Cavalry!"
Ishida Aido's face was pale, but because it was very dark, he couldn't see it.
"Your Excellency!"
"Cavalry strike! Attack the opponent's home line! ”
Although Ishida Aido is a bit of a waste, he is not too bad after all.
At this time, he also saw that it made no sense to entangle with those 'iron artillery' soldiers.
Anyway, there are still a lot of people here, and Tanaka's side can resist for a while.
On the other side's main formation, there are only one or two hundred cavalry, so as long as the men and horses on the other side of the formation are killed, then these iron artillery teams are not a problem.
It's sure to collapse on its own.
I have to say that this guy Ishida Aido still has a bit of vision, and it's not so bad.
After the cavalry commander received the order, he went away.
Then he roared, and after the cavalry responded in unison, he shook the reins in his hand and urged him to get off his horse and rush out.
The moonlight shines on the ground, and the night breeze blows through the leaves.
It was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful night, and there should have been the chirping of insects around.
However, because this place has become a battlefield, the insects have long since lost sight of where to run.
There was only the constant sound of fighting and screaming, and there was no insect sound at all.
Yes!
Help me, help me!
My leg!
Bang! Bang!
Charge!
Don't go back!
Kill!
"Your Highness, the enemy's cavalry has been dispatched, and it looks like they are coming at us."
Ishida Hedao dispatched cavalry, which could not hide Zhao Hongyu and them, after all, it was a face-to-face battle.
"Take your men and give me the back against these cavalry!"
With one hundred to five hundred people, Zhao Hongyu was at a disadvantage, but that European armor Lazhangjing looked excited and happy, and he didn't see a panicked look at all.
"Really, master!"
His reaction was similar to that of the people who won the 5 million jackpot in later generations.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Solve five hundred people, you can cut off their heads, this is all the experience of your team." ”
"Leave it to me, master!"
Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, this Jia Lazhangjing immediately responded, and then beckoned his subordinates to greet him.
In their opinion, it was 500 living experience-giving monsters.
The experience of cavalry is not the same as that of ordinary infantry, and it is much higher.
No wonder he's so excited.
What's more, Zhao Hongyu made it clear that these 500 people belonged to their team.
In other words, these 500 people's heads, others are not qualified to cut off.
Even if it is cut, it is not considered someone else's experience, it must all be counted as theirs.
That's a great thing for the coated minions who are already 'addicted'.
In the face of such a good thing, it is not surprising that Jia Lazhangjing would have that kind of reaction.
Originally, he envied Obama, but now he doesn't need to.
Obama is dealing with infantry, and it takes three heads of experience to be converted into the head experience of one cavalryman, and their experience is strictly divided and systematized.
"Little ones, fight mobs for experience! Long live the master! ”
Whoa! (To be continued......)
