"My lord, we have failed."

At this time, the Kyushu coalition army was here, and Fujita High Sophomore had to accept such a fact.

That is, they were defeated by an enemy who was inferior in strength.

This is simply unacceptable to them from the heart.

Just half an hour ago, they were confident that a single charge would be able to crush the enemy on the opposite side.

But to all of their surprise, after just half an hour, the bitter fruit of failure was actually tasted by themselves.

What could happen for Lang?

What is the reason for this final result?

Is the opponent's weapon too sharp?

Or are their own soldiers not brave enough and courageous?

Perhaps, there are some of these reasons.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue.

Now Fujita's sophomore year of high school must come up with a decision, whether to continue the fight or retreat.

The attacking soldiers retreated like a tide, and they stopped their retreat in front of the formation, slowly stopped under the reprimand of the elite bannermen of the formation, and then began to regroup.

However, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers had been completely replaced by fear and trepidation. Obviously, it is impossible for them to continue to fight each other.

Even if they were forced to fight the enemy, how long would they be able to fight with such low morale as they were now?

Fujita is not an idiot, he knows this very well in his heart.

And he can now see that the enemy's tactics and weapons are all things he has never touched, at least he can't come up with any way to effectively solve them.

Therefore, in this regard, the Kyushu coalition forces are at an absolute disadvantage.

If you continue to let the soldiers who have retreated, turn back and fight the enemy. The enemy's weapons that can inflict damage on their own side from a long distance, they still can't deal with it.

God, these enemies are so different.

Fujita's sophomore year of high school ended up sour.

"Fujita-kun, our losses are too great, look at the battlefield in front of you, it is our soldiers who fall everywhere. A rough calculation that we've lost more than half of our forces is unbelievable. ”

The daimyo of the Satsuma territory behind Fujita High School, said to him with a sad face at this time.

Yes, since the war, the losses of the Kyushu coalition have surprised everyone.

A battle like this is simply unheard of. They had never heard of it.

The enemy's weapons are so sharp that they can inflict such great damage and losses on their own side.

Could it be that the weapons they use do not belong to this worldly realm?

It's shocking.

"Order the soldiers who have retreated, and immediately reorganize the queue. We're going to continue fighting the enemy, and now we have no way to retreat, and if we do, do you think the enemy will give us a chance? ”

Fujita Gaoji turned his head with a serious face and looked at the twelve daimyos beside him.

The battle has reached this point, and the enemy has begun to press on their side.

It can be seen that the enemy wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Inflict more damage on yourself.

Therefore, even if they retreat now, it will be too late.

Once they retreat, then these enemies will definitely follow them all the way to hunt them down. I think their losses will be even greater.

Since this is the case, it is better to fight with the enemy.

There can still be a chance to fight, but if you don't fight, then there is no chance.

The twelve daimyos weren't all stupid, either. Many people can understand the meaning of Fujita's sophomore year of high school.

It's just that a few people were scared by Zhao Hongyu and them.

"! Fighting with them, now we still have an advantage in terms of troops. As long as we show the strength not to be afraid of death. I think the enemy will certainly not be our opponent. ”

"It's just that we don't know much about the enemy's tactics, so we just suffered a big loss for a while. As long as we are united, then the enemy may not be able to defeat it. ”

"The enemy's fighters are very sharp about frontal attacks, but with so many troops, we can launch the tactics of attacking on three sides at the same time, and I think the enemy has no way to deal with it."

Well, well, there are some smart people in there.

Finally made a good suggestion.

That is to attack from three sides, no longer a head-on charge.

Actually, this proposal is still very correct.

It's just that they really don't know what kind of existence the enemy they are facing at this moment is.

Moreover, in the war in Osaka, as well as in the war with the Europeans in the Americas, Zhao Hongyu and others have experienced things like attacks from three or even four sides.

Therefore, if the Kyushu Coalition Army uses this method, it will not be possible to achieve any good results at all.

It's just that the Kyushu Coalition soldiers don't know what to do about it.

Therefore, Fujita's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Not bad!" We can completely divide our forces and attack the enemy from three directions at once. In this way, the enemy will not be able to cause us too much trouble, and no matter how strong they are, they will not be able to cope with attacks from three directions at once. ”

As soon as Fujita's second year of high school said this, the twelve daimyos all nodded one after another, and their faces showed joy.

They seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and the way to defeat the enemy, so for a while their fighting spirit was all high.

In fact, if it is against an ordinary enemy who uses cold weapons like them, tactics like this are still very effective. After all, they still maintain a great advantage in terms of strength, which cannot be denied.

Don't look at the fact that the Kyushu Coalition Army has lost half of its strength now, but even so, there are still more than 80,000 people in the Kyushu Coalition Army.

The infantry that retreated from the rout included more than Liu Wan, plus the 20,000 people on the side of the formation, it can be said that against the army of less than 10,000 people on Zhao Hongyu's side, the Kyushu Coalition Army has a great advantage no matter how you look at it.

After making a decision, Fujita High School Sophomore and they immediately received their respective tasks and assigned their respective directions to lead the attack.

Subsequently, the daimyo of the Honjin side. led the generals under their command to leave.

At this point, Fujita High School, who was on the side of the Kyushu Coalition Army, was ready to fight to the death.

Just wait for Zhao Hongyu and the infantry under his command, and get closer to launch an attack.

Regarding the movements of the Kyushu Coalition Army's main formation, Zhao Hongyu, who followed the infantry and moved slowly, could see it clearly while sitting on his war horse.

"Hmph, the enemy is going to continue to fight us. And it looks like they're going to attack us in several ways at the same time, so they're not too stupid. ”

Although Zhao Hongyu was confident that he could deal with the enemy's next attack, he still felt that it was better to be cautious in his heart.

"Order the infantry to be ready, once the enemy forms a siege. Form a phalanx to meet the enemy. ”

For the encirclement tactics of dealing with several enemies at the same time, Zhao Hongyu has already had a lot of experience here.

After all, in another time and space, there are many experiences and examples like this in various film and television dramas, isn't it?

Especially in the era when flintlock muskets were used, the French Napoleon and the British, created this tactic.

Yes, the line of gun.

This kind of phalanx is a square formation of soldiers, with three layers inside and out. And the musket was loaded with a bayonet.

Formations like this are often a very effective formation tactic that will be used after being surrounded by the enemy. Even the musketeers, armed with bayonets, were able to withstand the cavalry attack. Let the cavalry drink hatred.

So, how could Zhao Hongyu not learn this tactical formation.

Hey!

Zhao Hongyu sneered.

The Kyushu people want to attack in several ways and combine tactics to defeat themselves at the same time, which is really tantamount to a pipe dream.

Let them taste the bitterness in a moment!

"Your Excellency. The Kyushu Army is now dividing their forces, and it seems that they are planning to attack us from several sources at the same time. Tokugawa Yoshiyo, who has been following Zhao Hongyu's side. At this time, Zhao Hongyu was reminded a little nervously.

Emma and Sarah, on the other hand, were not nervous at all at this time.

Since the beginning of the war, the two of them have become a little numb.

Moreover, after the battle, they also developed a strong confidence in their own side.

Therefore, neither of them thought that the Kyushu army on the opposite side would be able to defeat their own side through this method.

Sarah, in particular, is more aware of the power of the Imperial Army.

She was also fortunate to participate in the war in Quebec.

At the beginning, the Imperial Army, with thousands of men dared to fight hundreds of thousands of Iroquois warriors, and even after being surrounded, it was possible to achieve victory, relying on that kind of novel tactics and sharp weapons.

If we were able to defeat the fierce Iroquois, we should be able to defeat the same Iroquois.

"Don't worry too much, you'll find out in a moment. Their intentions were good, but they wouldn't succeed. Zhao Hongyu smiled and comforted Tokugawa Kayo, then turned to the herald and ordered: "Inform Yuji Kawabe, let him follow us with his own legion, and when the phalanx is formed, they will stay in the central area for guerrilla warfare." ”

The herald who got the order immediately turned the horse's head carriage and went to the rear of the riverside Yuji, and conveyed Zhao Hongyu's order to him.

When Yuji Kawabe received Zhao Hongyu's order, he immediately knew that this young highness must have a way to deal with the Kyushu coalition forces in front.

So, he put his hanging heart back down, and then urged the soldiers under his command to give orders.

Yes, Yuji Kawabe also observed the movement of the Kyushu coalition forces on the opposite side.

Of course, he also discovered and guessed the plans of the Kyushu Coalition Army, so he was still a little worried just now.

After all, he didn't know if his own side would be able to deal with attacks from several directions at the same time.

Now, it seems that His Highness is quite confident, and there must be a way to think about it.

In this case, I still have a lot of mysteries.

For Zhao Hongyu, Yuji Kawabe has always felt that he is very mysterious, and always makes himself feel that he needs to trust him unconditionally. (To be continued......)
