Chapter 833: The Battle of Maitreya Yuan is over (three more!) )
The offensive of the Kyushu coalition army has actually reached the point where the oil is running out.
Zhao Hongyu was very keenly aware of this.
Although it seems that there is a lot of pressure on our side right now, these are just some appearances.
With Zhao Hongyu's order, the genetic soldiers who were lined up in the fifth queue in four directions all opened the big wooden box placed on the back of the mouth, and then took out a black iron pipe-like thing from the wooden box, and then resisted it on his shoulder, and walked to the front of the position.
Sou! Whoosh!
As they pulled the trigger of the knock-off bazooka, one after another of inferior rockets dragging long flames were fired out of the cracks and rushed towards the enemy they were facing.
People from the Kyushu coalition side, where have you ever seen such a thing?
They don't even know what their opponents have come up with to deal with them.
Besides, even if they knew the way, they wouldn't be able to dodge it at such a distance.
As pillars of fire rushed into the crowd of the Kyushu coalition army, and then began to explode, the losses on the side of the Kyushu coalition army suddenly became even heavier.
After a wave of copycat bazooka attacks, the genetics quickly returned to the back of the queue and took out shotguns that had cooled down and could be used again.
The tactics of the five-stage shooting began to be staged again, and the Kyushu coalition army, which had just been attacked by the bazooka, was dazed and had no time to think about what was going on.
"Nope! We must not go on like this, our opponents are not people at all! Fall back! ”
In the face of Zhao Hongyu's sharp counterattack, the Fukuoka Daimyo, who was in charge of the western attack mission on the Kyushu Coalition Army, finally collapsed completely at this time.
In this attack, the army from Fukuoka has now been basically lost, which makes Fukuoka Daimyo very distressed.
That's all the best in Fukuoka.
He didn't know if he would be able to face Zhao Hongyu's attack in the future after losing these elite soldiers. But he just knew that there was one thing he had to do now, and that was to retreat immediately.
Yes. If he didn't retreat, then he would lose even his own elite here.
When the time comes, he will no longer be able to control his territory after becoming a bare-bones commander.
It's just that he didn't expect that even if he retreated now, the situation he would face in the future would be very bad.
But at such a time, where would this famous lord of Fukuoka think about this problem?
He was already frightened, and after giving the order to retreat, he immediately turned around the dock and quickly broke away from the rear position. Then he thought about the northwest direction and hurried away.
The only remaining soldiers from Fukuoka, as well as the elite samurai under his command, also broke away from the group and fled after him.
With him taking the lead, a large number of guys who followed the trend suddenly appeared on the western front, which had already been shaken. It can be said that the power of example is endless.
This daimyo from Fukuoka was just the beginning, and it was he who started the prelude to the rout of the Kyushu coalition.
The soldiers at the bottom of the Kyushu Coalition Army could have held on for a while.
After all, at this time, the daimyo of the thirteen families. You're still fighting the enemy with everyone, aren't you?
Therefore, even if these low-level soldiers already have the idea of escaping, they are under the influence of the daimyo. Still gritting his teeth and holding on.
If the daimyo didn't retreat, then these low-level soldiers wouldn't necessarily be able to continue fighting with Zhao Hongyu and them.
It's just that when a daimyo appeared and began to flee and retreat. Then it will have a big impact.
Who let these low-level soldiers think about running away for a long time?
Now there is a role model, or a big name. Then you can find an excuse.
At this moment, the entire Kyushu coalition army attacking Zhao Hongyu's phalanx on the west side began to collapse rapidly, even if some generals tried their best to stop it, it was to no avail.
When the Kyushu Legion here on the west side collapsed, it also affected the Kyushu Legion in the other three offensive directions.
None of them are fools, and they all have their own selfish agendas.
When they saw the people on the west side retreating, they would think to themselves, why should they continue to fight the enemy stupidly after everyone else has run away?
What's more, the enemies he faced were so powerful that he couldn't see the slightest hope of victory on his side except for the dead.
In this way, as the Kyushu soldiers on the west side began to collapse, the Kyushu Legion in the other three directions also began to snowball.
This speed is even amazingly fast.
In just three minutes, the Kyushu coalition army, which was still besieging Zhao Hongyu's phalanx, began to scatter and flee.
As a frontal attacker, Fujita Takaso's side also discovered this situation.
When he saw that the west side collapsed first, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
However, before he could ask someone to communicate with the commander on the western side, deserters began to appear on the entire battlefield, even on the side under his command.
Bastard! For what to retreat, we still have a lot of troops, and we still have a great advantage over the enemy. And we are already so close to the enemy that with a little effort, we can get close to the enemy and engage in hand-to-hand combat, and finally defeat our enemy completely. But this retreat wasted all the effort, and so many soldiers' lives were paid in vain.
Fujita high school sophomore faced this situation, and he really gritted his teeth with hatred.
"What the hell is going on?"
Fujita Takaji wore a cloak, holding a katana and shouting loudly.
After he was shelled earlier, the war horse didn't know where to go, so the current Fujita High School has also become an 'infantry'.
Fortunately, as a big name, there are still hundreds of elite banners by his side, following him and guarding him. Not so that he really fights like an infantryman.
A military general came to Fujita's side out of breath, this military general's body was covered with blood, and there were even a few pieces of minced meat, probably when the other people were killed by Zhao Hongyu when they were attacking. Some debris fell on him.
At the same time, this military general looked a little miserable, his face was covered with dust, and the armor on his body was also covered with dust.
"My lord, Lord Fukuoka and his men took the lead in retreating from the battlefield, which led to the collapse of our entire now. The current situation is beyond our control, so let's retreat for the safety of adults. ”
This military general reported to Fujita Takaji the reason for the collapse of the Kyushu coalition and at the same time made a suggestion to him.
Yes, now that they are defeated, this battle can no longer be recovered.
Look at the soldiers who don't look back. Running faster than rabbits, they should know that they have been defeated by the enemy.
The most important thing now is to evacuate this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and return to Okazaki.
After the defeat of the army, the enemy will definitely pursue them, and it will be quite dangerous if they continue to stay here.
Although Fujita High School is unwilling, he is indeed powerless in the battle in front of him.
He also understands this deeply.
Alas!
Ultimately. Fujita High School sighed deeply and nodded helplessly.
"Retreat!"
With the decision of Fujita High School, the elites who followed him, whether it was the Samurai of Hagimoto or the generals, were relieved in their hearts.
Now this battlefield is for them. I didn't want to stay more than a quarter of an hour.
Because at this time, the Maitreya battlefield was already full of corpses of Kyushu soldiers, and it completely became a human Shura field.
This kind of place is full of severed arms and bones, and flesh and blood are everywhere. One glance makes people feel very panicked.
At the time when everyone was charging vigorously just now, they hadn't noticed this, so everyone didn't feel anything.
But now look back. The scene here is really like eighteen layers of hell.
"My lord, it's not like we don't have a chance. Now what we have to do is to return to Okazaki Castle and immediately organize the militia to garrison Okazaki Castle, the number of enemies is not very large, although they are very strong in the field, but it should not be possible to attack the castle. As long as we hold Okazaki Castle and hold back the enemy, we will not be able to achieve victory in the end. After all, these enemies are outsiders, and as long as they can't replenish supplies in Kyushu, they will eventually leave. ”
Not!
That's really the truth.
After listening to the words of his subordinates, Fujita High Sophobi, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly lit up his eyes.
"Good! Let's get back to Okazaki Castle and gather all the supplies and stock up on Okazaki Castle. When the time comes, we will fight an offensive and defensive battle with these foreigners. ”
I don't know what's going on, Fujita's sophomore year of high school came with confidence again.
It's just that they all seem to ignore a problem, that is, in the hands of their enemies, there seems to be the existence of siege weapons and artillery.
Therefore, how could Okazaki Castle, which is much smaller than Osaka Castle, defend against Zhao Hongyu, who is like a wolf and a tiger.
On the side of the phalanx, Zhao Hongyu was giving a series of orders to the heralds.
Although he knew that the Kyushu coalition army would eventually be defeated, he didn't know that the other side would be defeated so quickly.
After all, in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, the other party still has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. Anyway, the other party can fight with him for a while, right?
In fact, where did he know that the battle had reached such a level, in fact, it had long exceeded the level that the Kyushu coalition army could bear.
You must know that in the era of cold weapons, often after the loss of one side of the army exceeds forty percent, the morale of the army will be greatly shaken.
And if it's more than half, it's going to fall apart.
In modern times, the degree of bearing of this battle damage will become even less.
Generally, a battle loss of 20% will lead to the rout of the army.
This kind of situation occurred the most in the Republic of China era in another time and space.
As for the Kyushu coalition army that fought against Zhao Hongyu, their battle losses had exceeded the limit of sixty percent, so it was completely normal for them to collapse.
After all, these people are flesh and blood, and they will all have fear and selfishness.
This is very different from the fact that ninety percent of the soldiers under Zhao Hongyu are mass-cultivated genetic people.
But no matter what, the enemies who are now fighting against him have been defeated, and these enemies are still the army of the thirteen daimyo on the Kyushu continent.
In other words, after defeating the thirteen daimyo coalition forces in Kyushu here in Maitreya, Zhao Hongyu will not meet an opponent in the short term.
This battle of Maitreya was enough to make the daimyo of Kyushu afraid of themselves, so that they did not dare to fight with them again.
Therefore, what Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to take this opportunity to quickly conquer Miyazaki, and then enter the Satsuma Domain.
It's just that now Zhao Hongyu can't attack the enemy immediately, he still needs to make some arrangements and clean up the battlefield at the same time.
At this time, on the grass of Maitreya Plain, there were still the corpses of more than 100,000 Kyushu allied troops, as well as their seriously wounded.
"Your Highness, am I going to attack Okazaki Castle now? If we start the pursuit now, we can reach the castle before Fujita Takaji in Okazaki Castle returns to Okazaki Castle with the rout, and then take Okazaki Castle before he returns to Okazaki Castle. ”
Tokugawa Kayo, who has been assured by Zhao Hongyu that she will play the banner of the Tokugawa family, asked Zhao Hongyu excitedly at this time.
"Wait, we have now won this battle, and it has greatly weakened the strength of the Kyushu Alliance. But do you think that just relying on Yuji Kawabe and them can conquer Okazaki Castle? ”
Zhao Hongyu's words made Tokugawa Kayo's excitement disappear a little.
"Don't be in a hurry now, what I promised you will definitely be observed. You don't have to wait too long, just wait until I've cleaned up the battlefield here, and I'll send an artillery team and an infantry unit to assist you. With these troops, I think it will be easier to conquer Okazaki Castle. And I don't think it's possible to just take one Okazaki Castle and control the entire territory, right? ”
Facing Zhao Hongyu's words, Tokugawa Kayo's face turned red.
She thought this was a change of heart for Her Highness.
But at this time, hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Tokugawa Kayo couldn't help but feel ashamed of what he thought just now.
"Order Yuji Kawabe and take his men to clean up the battlefield. If you encounter those minor injuries that can be treated, you will tie them up, and these people will probably be used by us in the future. Of course, when the battlefield is cleaned, the spoils go to them. After all, we won, and we have to make a little fortune with our men, don't we? ”
Yuji Kawabe and his subordinates were still working very hard just now.
Zhao Hongyu saw all this.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu didn't mind, and used the money of the Kyushu soldiers to give benefits to Yuji Kawabe.
Upon hearing the news, the Imperial Allied Army let out cheers and rushed to the battlefield.
These guys came to the battlefield and began to turn over the corpses of the Kyushu soldiers who had fallen on the grass.
"My lord, we should immediately pursue those defeated enemies at this time, but isn't it a little inappropriate to do so now?"
Chizuru Hattori, the girl who followed Zhao Hongyu's side, asked with some puzzlement. (To be continued......)
