Chapter 1265: Disadvantages

In the face of the surging Houjin cavalry, Governor Kobayashi once again ordered his Kyushu soldiers to form a tortoiseshell formation to defend.

It's not that President Kobayashi doesn't know that the other party has a way to crack it, and he has to do it. But in the face of the current situation, he only has such a defense.

After all, the Kyushu army is all infantry, and there is still a certain disadvantage compared to the Mang Gurtai side.

If he lined up his 10,000 Kyushu soldiers according to the normal way of fighting, then it wouldn't take long for them to be defeated by Mang Gurtai's side.

Therefore, although the tortoiseshell formation has some weaknesses and shortcomings, it can allow them to support for a while in the face of Mang Gurtai's attack.

Of course, Governor Kobayashi will do this, also because the reinforcements of Zhilu Dao are already not far away, and it will not be long before they can reach here.

In other words, President Kobayashi has a bottom in his heart.

This time, Mang Gurtai's charge was very fierce, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed very orderly, and the momentum was very loud but not chaotic at all.

President Kobayashi knew at a glance that this was definitely elite.

At the head of the front was a group of about 100 cavalry, two horses in a group pulling a large spherical object, rushing towards the Kyushu army that formed a tight formation.

This tactic of Mang Gurtai has been used on them once before, and the effect is very good.

Although the Kyushu Army's tortoiseshell formation has a strong defensive power, there is still no way to deal with this kind of stone ball that is inertial due to the strong impact force generated by the cavalry's pulling.

"Hold on! Our reinforcements are almost here, and as long as we can entangle the enemy army, victory will definitely be ours! ”

This time. Governor Kobayashi continued to loudly encourage his subordinates.

The Houjin cavalry in charge of the stone ball, when they rushed to the front of the formation, they loosened the rope in their hands one after another, and then rode their horses to the sides quickly.

In this way, they let those stone balls rush towards the Kyushu military formation under the inertia of the previous pull.

This time, Mang Gurtai can be regarded as having made a lot of money, and basically used all the stone balls he brought.

After all, this is a means that is effective against the Kyushu army, and of course he will not use it.

More than forty stone balls, such a collision, can definitely make a big hole appear in front of the Kyushu army.

Most of the Houjin cavalry followed closely behind. As long as the stone ball in front of it crashes into the military formation of the Kyushu Army. Then they can rush in.

At that time, the prospects for the Kyushu Army side will not be good.

In this regard, President Kobayashi has a very clear judgment.

After all, in the late stages of the first engagement. Mang Gurtai used this method. Broke through the defenses of the Kyushu Army.

If it hadn't been Obama at the time, they would have suddenly killed. If the Houjin army is disturbed, the Houjin will be able to bring them great damage at that time.

"My lord, we can't let it go! Subordinates bring people over. Use manpower to block those stone balls! ”

A samurai stepped forward and said a word to Governor Kobayashi, and then ran quickly to the front of the military formation, regardless of whether he received a response from Governor Kobayashi or not.

"Now is the time for us samurai to give our lives, let's use our bodies to block these stone balls to fight for the hope of victory for our comrades and the army!"

With that, the samurai rushed towards the rolling stone balls.

Of course, it is impossible to block the stone ball with strong inertia with human power.

Therefore, the fate of this military general is destined to be very tragic.

However, some strange factors in the bones of those Kyushu Army soldiers were stimulated by him.

The so-called bushido and the spirit of dedication finally came into play at this moment.

Come on!

Hundreds of soldiers in the front row, holding blast shields, rushed forward. They each formed several small teams and rushed to the nearest stone ball.

Of course, one person can't stop the stone ball, but when there are many people, it becomes different.

"I can't imagine that these Kyushu people would use such a method to block those stone balls."

When Obama saw such a scene, he couldn't help but mutter.

A bearded companion beside him raised his hand and opened his mask first and responded: "Although this method is a bit unusual, you can't help but admit that it is very effective. Look, aren't those stone balls blocked? “

Sure enough, in Obama's line of sight, more than forty stone balls really stopped not far from the front of the Kyushu Army.

Although those Kyushu soldiers lost hundreds of lives because of this, it has to be admitted that they used such a crazy method to stop the stone ball.

Although the loss of hundreds of people was very large, it was more cost-effective than letting the Houjin cavalry easily rush in and start a massacre after letting the stone ball destroy the formation.

"There is a crazy factor in the bones of the Japanese people. It seems that we need to report this to His Highness, and I think His Highness will make a decision. However, I think that if the Japanese people use it well, it will also be very beneficial to the empire. ”

The performance of the Kyushu Army has attracted Obama's attention and deep thought.

At the same time, it also made Obama see the kind of madness hidden in their bones, and generated some worries.

I have to say that these brainwashed European warriors of the Eight Banners of the Empire, all their considerations are now on the side of the interests of the Empire.

It can be seen how successful the brainwashing of the empire is.

"Let's move too, or we will suffer as soon as the enemy army arrives."

Obama urged the horse under his crotch and began to move to the other side.

As Obama moved, his cavalry began to follow suit.

Yes, their heavy cavalry stopped at the periphery of the Kyushu Army.

And in the face of the Houjin army rushing to kill, if they stay here motionless, then waiting for the Houjin cavalry to rush over will obviously put them in a disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, only when it moves, it will become more advantageous.

It's also a way to save yourself.

Obama they moved. The 3,000 light cavalry arranged by Mang Gurtai also followed suit.

This light cavalry is specifically used against Obama and them.

"Rush! Rush! Rush over to me! ”

"Lord Belle! Our stone ball has been stopped by the other party, and if we rush over like this, we will inevitably have a big loss. “

Syllable!

Mang Gurtai raised his hand and whipped it hard in the face of the general who persuaded him.

"I'm going to destroy them even if it costs me!"

Mang Gurtai had made up his mind, and the hearts of the generals who were charging at his side were terrified.

Because everyone knows Mang Gultai's character, but whatever he decides, it is difficult to change.

Well, since the masters have said so, what can they do as slaves?

It's just that there are more people killed in battle. The master doesn't care why they care.

Therefore. No one talks anymore.

Come on!

The cavalry of the brigade rushed past the stone ball that had stopped, and rushed through the gap between the stone balls.

At this time, there were already soldiers in front of the Kyushu army who came up again, making up for the vacancy of the previously dedicated soldiers.

Sharp spears. In the sunlight, there are cold rays blooming. Suddenly it was dazzling.

Burst! Poof!

Cavalry in the front row. Pierced through the body with a spear, a second cavalryman was pierced into the ...... This time, they were also ruthless.

"Don't stop! Keep rushing, I won't be able to rush them! “

Of course, Mang Gurtai also felt sorry for the loss. But he knew that as long as he persevered, he would only need to pay a few thousand battle losses to destroy these enemies.

And, if he didn't, what else could he do?

The enemy's formation is as difficult as a hedgehog, so it is impossible not to pay some price.

At this time, the spears in front of the Kyushu army had turned into human flesh candy gourds.

The soldiers who were holding spears could no longer hold their spears because of the weight of the human body strung on the spear.

Fortunately, there are spearmen in the rear to make up for this loophole.

Kobayashi's brow furrowed, and he knew the enemy's intentions.

Obviously, this is going to be heaped with appointments.

It seems that this method still has some effect.

As the corpses grew, the enemy's charge grew stronger. The pressure on the front had become very high, and sporadic enemy horseback had begun to appear in the formation.

Although the enemy cavalry that rushed into the formation sporadically was eliminated.

But one thing you can see is that the situation is starting to turn a little unfavorable for you, isn't it?

But it doesn't matter, you just need to drag the other party.

The square-shaped battle formation allowed the Mang Gurtai side to choose only one direction to attack.

It can be said that he concentrated all his strength on one point to break through.

That's the right way to go.

Of course, Mang Gurtai did not forget about the suppression of the other two directions.

In this way, Governor Kobayashi was unable to mobilize soldiers from both sides to reinforce the front.

As for the rear, although there was no enemy attack, Governor Kobayashi was still unable to draw troops.

Because once the troops are withdrawn, then if the enemy takes a cold breath, he will be caught off guard.

On the other side, Obama's heavy cavalry regiment began to get closer and closer to the enemy of 3,000 light cavalry in the same direction.

Their battle is about to begin.

The situation is now starting to turn a little bad for the Empire, and President Kobayashi's face is tense and serious.

"My lord, let's take the initiative. If you continue to defend in this way, you will eventually be broken by the enemy. “

Yes, from the time of the engagement to the present day, they have been in a passive defensive situation.

This is very disadvantageous.

Because if they don't take the initiative, they will eventually be broken through the defensive circle by the enemy.

Governor Kobayashi shook his head in the face of the proposal of his generals: "No! We're going to nail it here, reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we can hold back the enemy, then victory will definitely be ours. “

As soon as Governor Kobayashi's words fell, a desolate horn sound came from behind a small earthen bag not far away.

Woooooo

Immediately afterward, rows of people in red uniforms appeared from behind the small dirt bags......

Turning around, seeing the appearance of this team, a smile appeared on President Kobayashi's face.

"Our reinforcements are coming!" (To be continued......)
