Chapter 605: The Osaka Soldiers Retreat (Three Watches!) )

After Tanaka's efforts, he was able to gather about 600 ashigaru.

Compared with the previous 1,500 people, this number has shrunk a lot.

Excluding those Ashigaru who were killed by the Praetorian Guard's genetic people, the number of Ashigaru who escaped in the rout was about two or three hundred.

Now on the side of the Osaka soldiers, the Samurai of Hagimoto owned by Ishida Aido plus the ashigaru that Tanaka has gathered, there are more than 1,000 people in total.

But definitely not more than one thousand two hundred.

Compared with the 800 people on Zhao Hongyu's side, although there is still an advantage in numbers, this advantage has become very insignificant.

It can even be said that Zhao Hongyu and they have already controlled the situation on the battlefield and have the upper hand.

After a few fierce battles just now, there were cries for help and terrible wails from there.

Although the flintlock pistol was very powerful, hitting the Japanese soldiers did not cause them to die on the spot.

Most of the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground with serious injuries and were in agony.

Now Zhao Hongyu and they don't have the heart to solve the injuries of those widows, the most important thing for them now is to defeat all the remaining enemies in one go.

That way, they can get a good night's sleep tonight.

Now that the battle has been fought, the situation has basically become clear.

The remaining enemies don't have to worry at all, they will be able to crush them after another fierce battle.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu shook the reins in his hand and urged the black horse under his crotch to run all the way.

"Master, the enemy has not retreated, but the minions are confident that they can be dealt with just one charge."

After seeing Zhao Hongyu coming, Obama hurriedly went up and said.

Zhao Hongyu certainly believes what Obama said, and he is very confident in it.

But let the minions and cavalry charge. It seems that there is no need anymore.

It's just an enemy in their early thousands, and these people can just let the infantry of the Praetorian Guard deal with it.

As for these clothed minion cavalry of the Eight Banners of Europe, they still honestly stay by their side in case of unexpected situations.

When the time comes, if there is really any accident, you can also have some reserve military power in your hands to use, right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu said: "It's no longer necessary now, let those infantry of the Praetorian Guard go up." You stay with me in case something unexpected happens. Don't worry about your exploits and experience, I'll let you cut off the heads when you've dealt with the remnants of the enemy. ”

For Zhao Hongyu's arrangement. Obama: They don't dare to say anything.

The minions who have been brainwashed look at Zhao Hongyu in the same way as the gods.

I have to say that the 'New Oriental' brainwashing school is really gray.

"Good master, I will pass on your order! Long live the Empire, long live the Master! ”

Obama sat on his horse, bowed flatteringly, then turned his horse's head and walked among the wrappers, passing Zhao Hongyu's order to the end.

Subsequently. Those European Eight Banners clothed minions rode their horses to Zhao Hongyu's side one after another, forming a formation to protect Zhao Hongyu in the middle.

"Forward!"

At this time, the Janissaries of the Genetic People. Once again, we are moving forward.

Their targets and troops were directed at the Ishida Aido Honjin not far away.

"My lord, let's retreat. These foreigners are very powerful, and now we have lost our cavalry. It is no longer possible to rely on infantry alone to be their opponents. ”

At this time, Tanaka was already leading the ashigaru men with a panicked face, in front of the Ishida Aido main camp. A very weak front was formed.

For resisting Zhao Hongyu and them, Tanaka has no confidence at all.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to quickly persuade Ishida to withdraw from the army.

The battle has been fought like this, in fact, it is already considered a defeat.

Even if they don't admit it, it's true, and no one can change it.

Moreover, if the fight continues, they will have to explain here.

Although they are reluctant now, they have to admit one thing, that is, these foreigners are really very powerful.

Not to mention the new tactics and their sharp iron cannons, just by looking at the corpses on the battlefield and those who have fallen.

The people who have fallen on the battlefield now are all Osaka soldiers they brought.

None of these foreigners were injured or war-damaged.

How could such a thing not shock them.

You must know that in the era of cold weapons, such a thing is almost impossible to happen.

Zero casualties, even in the era of Zhao Hongyu's previous time and space, was impossible.

But it happened here in the 17th century.

I have to say, this is a very surprising thing.

However, if you can think about it carefully, it is not too surprising that this kind of thing has happened.

After all, Zhao Hongyu's tactics only appeared in the eighteenth century, and the weapons they used were also in the eighteenth century.

And the era in which they lived was only the seventeenth century.

What is so surprising that a technique that spans an era can produce such an effect?

If Zhao Hongyu and the others were using the weapons of the 21st century, then it would be possible to sweep the world with 5,000 people, and there would still be zero casualties.

Therefore, the fact that 800 people fought against 5,000 Osaka soldiers and fought zero casualties was nothing at all.

Although this is nothing, it is not the same for the Japanese who lived in the early seventeenth century and did not think very well.

They were shocked by the state of the war.

Now that people have knocked down the hair, they have not lost a single hair, but their own side has really suffered a lot of losses, and they have lost four-fifths of their troops.

Seeing that the enemy is pressing, they simply cannot deal with it.

It turned out that 5,000 people did not kill them, and now they are more than 1,000 people to defeat the enemy?

It's a joke.

Therefore, now what they have to do is not how to confront each other, but how to get out of here.

Besides, their cavalry was all killed.

But what about the enemy's cavalry. But there was no damage.

So, this puts them at a big disadvantage.

The role of cavalry in this era is basically the same as that of tanks.

Ishida Aimichi's face turned pale at this time, and he had long been frightened by the current battle situation and didn't know what to do.

Tanaka's words suddenly woke him up.

yes, what are you waiting for if you don't run at this time?

Isn't it possible to wait for the enemy to come and cut off his own head with a knife?

Now the enemy's infantry has not yet begun to shoot iron artillery, so it can be seen that they still have a chance.

Thinking of this, Ishida made a quick decision.

"Retreat!"

Ishida has never been so happy.

Now in order to save his life, he actually had a good time. Immediately made a decision and gave the most correct order without hesitation.

Yes, if you don't run at this time, you will have to wait for when you will run.

When the time comes, I guess I won't be able to run away if I want to.

This is true not only for Ishida Aido, but also for Tanaka and the other generals, as well as the elite Samurai and the remaining Ashigaru.

It's just that Ishida Aido, the lord of the lord, doesn't speak, and they are really professional warriors who can't run away without permission.

After all, they are not the same as those militias.

Those militiamen ran away and ran away, and the punishment for them would not be too severe. After all, they are not professional soldiers, and they don't receive money or anything.

But they can't do that.

for they are all recipients of money.

For the sake of that profit, they could not run away.

If they give up on their lord and run away without permission, then a cruel punishment awaits them. It can also affect the family.

And even if you don't die, you will suffer from the white eyes and discrimination of others for the rest of your life.

At that time, they could be said to have no way to survive in Japan.

But Tanaka is a clever guy because he knows the lord he is serving very well.

For the character of Ishida Aido. This guy Tanaka has already figured it out.

He knew that the situation on the battlefield was already very unfavorable, and at this time, as long as he revealed a little bit of this meaning. Then the lord whose face was already frightened and his face changed color would definitely have the idea of retreating.

Besides, it's not like I'm trying to scare him.

What I said was all the truth.

Think about it, five thousand of them came to fight the foreigners, but how many of them were left by now.

Foreigners are so powerful, 5,000 people can't defeat them, so is it difficult for them to defeat each other now that they have more than 1,000 people left?

Obviously this is not possible.

Since they can't continue to fight with those foreigners, there is only one way out of the way in front of them.

Retire!

Yes, and only by withdrawing immediately can they be saved.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to run away when the infantry of the foreigners pressed up.

Who doesn't think about their own little life.

Ishida Aimichi is even more afraid of death.

Therefore, when Ishida Aido heard what Tanaka said, he looked at the battlefield with a pale face.

Everywhere he looked, there were wailing soldiers.

Then he trembled and immediately gave the order to retreat.

The soldiers, who had lost the will to fight, couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing Ishida Aido's order.

Then he turned around and ran towards the forest behind him, trying to escape from the darkness of the night.

In Zhao Hongyu's temporary camp, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar, who were watching the battle, as well as those famous businessmen led by Xu Yan, no longer knew what to say at this time.

Is this a win?

They were a little incredulous.

It was precarious just now, but now the situation has turned around, and the Osaka soldiers have retreated.

In addition to the retreating Osaka soldiers, they also left a lot of wounded.

Judging from the battle between the Song and the Wa, it seems that the Wa are not so powerful.

This is Xu Yan's idea.

However, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar almost had such a thought in their hearts.

After all, the Japanese people have been crisscrossing the Ming coast for decades, and this is a real thing.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese people will leave a very powerful impression in the hearts of the Ming people.

But today, those Japanese people, who seemed to them to be very powerful, were actually defeated by the Song people.

Moreover, when they were defeated, the Japanese still had an absolute advantage in numbers.

It's fucking incomprehensible.

Are the Japanese weakened?

Xu Yan thought to himself.

However, he soon suppressed this thought.

Are the Japanese weak?

That's ridiculous.

Nowadays, among the two major Haikou groups along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, there are many Japanese people.

Xu Yan has also been in contact with these people and has dealt with them.

He knew very well that those Japanese people were powerful and fierce, so he didn't think that it was because the Japanese people were weak.

Those Japanese who were pirates were actually down-and-out samurai from the Warring States period of the earlier Wa Kingdom, or their descendants.

That is, they are all losers.

It's the 'Luther' of Japan.

But even these 'Luthers' are so fierce, not to mention the real samurai on the side of the Wa Kingdom.

That's definitely more powerful.

However, now Xu Yan saw with his own eyes that the Song people had defeated those Japanese people.

This had to make him start muttering in his heart.

If it weren't for the weakness of the Japanese people, then there could only be one explanation.

The Song people are very strong!

This is a judgment that Xu Yan finally gave.

The Song people's bird guns were played by them, and this kind of trick was not available in the army of the Ming Dynasty.

And the cavalry of the Song people seemed to have used a tactic that he had never heard of before, and it seemed to be very practical.

Although he didn't know how they did it, Xu Yan stood here and saw that every time those cavalrymen fired the bird guns in their hands, the Japanese people who fought against them fell back.

When did the bird become so powerful?

Xu Yan was very curious about this in his heart.

However, no matter how curious he was, he wouldn't ask about it.

After all, he was not very familiar with these Song people, and at the same time, he was puzzled and wanted to ask about the other party's weapons.

It's not necessarily true that people don't say it.

It wouldn't be good if I wanted to find out about their military situation.

Therefore, Xu Yan could only suppress these doubts in his heart.

But in any case, today he did open his eyes.

I saw a new way to use the bird's gun.

However, he also knew that this was the way that the Song people could use bird guns in this way.

If this were in the army of the Ming Dynasty, it would have been completely impossible to happen.

"The enemy has retreated! We've won! ”

Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts couldn't help but feel relieved.

You must know that they have been worried since the beginning of the war, and that is not a good feeling.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know what was going on in the hearts of these people watching the battle behind Lu Dao, and he was now thinking about continuing to hunt down and kill Ishida Hedao from time to time.

And the Iga ten, led by Hattori Chizuru, who were observing the battlefield near the camp, were also stunned at this time.

Oh my God, these foreigners are too strong.

However, if you can really get in touch with them, then it is a good thing for these people.

Now everyone is starting to gravitate towards Hideyuki Kikuchi's suggestion. (To be continued......)
