Chapter 828: The Sorrow of the Samurai
The Kyushu coalition army launched a new attack, this time they did not attack Zhao Hongyu from the front like the last time, but divided their troops from three directions, and launched a charge on Zhao Hongyu's side at the same time.
It can be said that if Zhao Hongyu wants to deal with the attack of the Kyushu coalition army this time, then he must also divide a part of his forces to deal with the enemy in addition to the frontal attack, there are enemies in two other directions.
Therefore, the forces under Zhao Hongyu's command will inevitably be dispersed.
The power of the musket array will also be greatly reduced.
However, Zhao Hongyu saw through the intentions of the Kyushu coalition army early, and he let the imperial infantry under his command form a spear-shaped phalanx.
The Kyushu coalition army launched an attack from three directions, in order to encircle Zhao Hongyu and them, and then besiege and kill them with superior forces.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu arranged such a formation according to the other party's ideas in order to be able to destroy the enemy more effectively.
You must know that when the enemy surrounds you, the power of the spear-shaped phalanx will be fully exerted.
It can be said that the enemy can be attacked on all four fronts.
And the enemy, too, will be powerless in the face of such an attack, and there will not even be a place to hide.
The Kyushu coalition has a way, and Zhao Hongyu also has a means here.
Anyway, it just depends on who is more powerful.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Hongyu's side has more means than the Kyushu coalition side.
After all, Zhao Hongyu has not watched any film and television dramas in another time and space.
What's more, the tactics used by the Imperial Army under his current command have been proven and tested by blood and fire in another space-time battlefield.
It's not the kind of chaotic battle formation that is randomly imagined and then taken out and used.
The muzzles of the guns in the center of the phalanx were adjusted and aimed on all sides.
It's just that now the enemy has not completely surrounded itself, so only frontal artillery can deliver an effective strike.
At the sound of the command, the muzzle of the gun fired a round of shells at the gun in front of it. Fell into the second army of Fujita High School, which was in the charge.
Again, the scene faced by the Kyushu soldiers was staged again.
Explosions, blood mist, broken arms, human bodies being thrown into the air by air waves and then falling, exploding shells and iron filings piercing and even blowing up human bodies, this scene reappeared.
"Rush for me! No one is allowed to leave! ”
The generals under the command of Fujita Takaji scolded the somewhat timid soldiers with a hideous face, and forced them to continue the charge with their shiny katanas.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is not very far, and after the charge of the Kyushu army, the distance has been narrowed by hundreds of meters.
Therefore, the Kyushu soldiers are not unable to see a little hope.
At this moment, whether it is Kyushu Bing or Fujita High School, they all know the way. In this battle, they can only win if they crush the enemy, and as for the loser, then they will definitely die and be buried.
They have learned the ferocity of the enemy, but if they are defeated by the enemy, then the enemy will not show mercy.
Therefore, it is not possible to work hard now.
Because Fujita High School was in charge of frontal raids, the army he led faced the most pressure on Zhao Hongyu.
Artillery shells kept falling, causing great losses to his corps.
However, it was precisely because of his frontal charge that the pressure on the other two legions was reduced a lot.
Since the start of the charge, to the present. The other two corps have not yet suffered serious losses.
It can be seen that this tactic is still feasible.
Fujita High School Sophomore followed the charging queue and looked at the legions in the other two directions, and couldn't help but feel comforted.
Legions on the left and right. Now he has slowly approached the east and west sides of the imperial phalanx in a pincer roundabout, and is encircling Zhao Hongyu and them.
With a little more time, then the legions in these two directions will be able to achieve their goal of encircling together.
Zhao Hongyu in the center of the phalanx. For this time, Che is in the eyes.
He couldn't help but sneer: "Let them get closer, give them a little hope, and let them launch a more frantic attack on us after they complete the encirclement." Only in this way can we give these Kyushu troops who see hope. Even more devastating. ”
Zhao Hongyu knows very well where the advantages of the phalanx are.
Yes, only after the enemy has completed the encirclement, can your own phalanx exert maximum lethality and inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
Isn't the Kyushu Army going to be surrounded on all sides?
Good!
Let you accomplish this end.
But after achieving this goal, the Kyushu coalition army is bound to expose their weaknesses in front of Zhao Hongyu.
And Zhao Hongyu's army phalanx can also attack the Kyushu coalition forces that encircle him from four aspects at the same time, so that they have nowhere to hide.
It can be said that when the Kyushu Coalition was calculating its enemies, their enemy, Zhao Hongyu, also made arrangements to deal with it once.
The Kyushu Coalition Army, which was still fighting with cold weapons, obviously did not have any advantages at this time.
On the contrary, Zhao Hongyu's side, which seems to be at a disadvantage and has much less troops than the Kyushu Coalition Army, has a very strong advantage.
It's just that Fujita is a sophomore in high school, and they can't see it clearly and don't understand.
Since the emergence of gunpowder weapons, cold weapons have slowly begun to be introduced to the stage of history, and personal martial arts have not played much decisive role in more battlefields.
This is a great sorrow for some people with a warrior spirit.
One of the most famous generals under the command of Fujita Gaoji, holding a katana in each hand, bravely rushed to a distance of fifty meters from the phalanx.
Driven by him, the Japanese soldiers who launched a frontal charge against Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but be shocked.
"Oooh!"
The soldiers shouted, increased their running speed, and followed behind the general.
Fifty meters is not a long distance at all, as long as a hundred steps or ten seconds, you can rush over.
This brave Okazaki general, he has already been shot twice in the body, but he still gritted his teeth and rushed desperately.
Because this guy firmly believes that as long as he rushes in front of the enemy, then with his force and sword skills, he will definitely be able to mess up the enemy.
But that was the end of his glory.
Bang!
The enemy on the opposite side once again fired the iron cannon. Immediately, the general's body shook and fell to the ground crookedly.
Looking from his front, I saw that this guy's entire face was covered with dense blood spots. At first, these spots of blood were not very large, but they slowly expanded, and then more and more blood flowed.
Even the front of his armor was riddled with holes.
The weapon that inflicted such a great deal of damage on him was only the shotgun used by the Imperial Army at close range.
With unwillingness, the general fell to the ground, convulsed for a while, and finally swallowed the last breath.
As the Imperial Army replaced itself with high-powered shotguns, the charging Japanese soldiers began to lose luck.
They fell one by one in a burst of gunfire.
No matter how brave they are. But he just couldn't cross that short distance of fifty meters.
Companions in the rear were also attacked by the enemy's artillery.
Rumble!
A puff of dust was kicked up around Fujita Kosobi, and a flowering bomb exploded around him.
More than a dozen elite Qiben warriors who followed him were killed in an instant, and some of them even had no bones.
A huge wave of air knocked Fujita Koji off his horse to the ground and fell heavily to the ground.
And his horse was frightened by the loud sound of the cannonball bursting, and kept raising its front hooves and neighing, and then knocked over many soldiers and ran into the distance.
Fujita's helmet rolled down somewhere, and his hair fell loosely. It seemed that he was very embarrassed.
"Your Excellency!"
After the samurai saw their lord fall from his horse, they surrounded him one after another.
When they saw that Fujita's high sophomore was not injured, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, although Fujita was not injured. But he was frightened enough by what had just happened.
In the first charge, he was only on his own side, and he did not personally go into battle to experience the feeling of being bombarded by artillery.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to understand how the soldiers felt during the first charge. But now the second charge. As a daimyo and lord, he was about to charge the enemy with the soldiers, so this time he really felt all this.
It's horrible!
In this world, how can there be such a weapon?
Fujita's ears kept making loud roars. He couldn't hear what his men were constantly shouting about.
His whole person is still a little confused.
"My lord, my lord, what do you think now?"
It took a while for Fujita's sophomore to recover.
"Your Excellency is fine, your adult is not injured, let me continue to rush!"
Oh!
When the news spread that Fujita High School was not injured, the soldiers cheered and cheered, and this time they continued to rush towards Zhao Hongyu and them.
This is the case in the era of cold weapons, and many times the low-level soldiers have to look at the main general and act.
In a situation like the one just now, if Fujita High School, the main general, is injured, it will have a great impact on the morale of the low-level soldiers in the charge.
Even, it will shake the morale of the soldiers at the bottom, and then retreat from the front.
Therefore, when the big guys saw that Fujita High School was not injured, they quickly spread the news, in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and shake the morale of those soldiers.
At this time, Fujita's sophomore high school hair was very embarrassed, and his face became miserable and pale, which showed that he was not lightly frightened.
"My lord, now that the battle has reached this point, you must hold on as the main general."
Some generals were worried that their main guild would drop the chain at this time, so they didn't care about it and gave him a wake-up call.
Fujita, who came back to his senses, smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, I know the importance of the road." (To be continued......)
