Chapter 601: Defeating Ashigaru
Ishida is smart and smart, but his grasp of the fighter is not very accurate.
The five hundred cavalry he sent out had been pinned down by a group of clothed minions.
Therefore, the idea of directly attacking Zhao Hongyu's main formation and destroying them has now been in vain.
If, at the beginning, he pressed the whole army up, then Zhao Hongyu's side would be really dangerous.
Unfortunately, Ishida did not do so.
But Zhao Hongyu was different, he sent all the last hundred clothed minions out of Lu and directly attacked the opponent's main formation, which is the side of Ishida Hedao.
His courage is much greater than that of Ishida Aido, and his vision is much more accurate than that of the other party.
In terms of fighter planes, Zhao Hongyu is also stronger than Ishida Hedao.
A pair of coated minions rode through the battlefield and stabbed straight at Ishida Aido like a sharp dagger.
Come and don't be rude.
If you can do this, then I can do it too.
This is called the exchange of courtesies.
At this moment, the pressure on Tanaka's side has gradually increased, and the attack of the 500 genetic guards and the harassment of Obama's cavalry have completely collapsed the left flank of the Crane Wing Formation.
As for the formation, it is completely impossible to talk about at this moment.
It can be said that the Crane Wing Array has been defeated.
On Tanaka's side, the ashigaru men had fallen to the ground, losing more than half of their men.
Although Tanaka kept shouting loudly and killed a lot of defeated soldiers at the same time, he really had no choice but to face the discouragement of the defeated soldiers.
After all, when more than half of the battle losses are lost, it is very normal for the army formation to collapse.
In the era of cold weapons, the one who can endure thirty percent of the battle losses without collapsing is the Iron Army.
Tanaka didn't have such ability, and he was able to control the battle damage of Ashigaru under his command to more than 30%.
Therefore, now that he has reached the situation where he has reached fifty percent of the battle losses, the collapse of the soldiers is no longer something he can prevent.
The collapse of Tanaka's side. Turn the tide on the battlefield.
The genetic soldiers let out a 'whoop' in unison, and then began to take their steps again.
Obama, with his men, has been cruising the outside to inflict casualties on the rout.
Tanaka was carried away by the routs until he reached the main camp.
Before Ishida could react, a team of coats that had passed through the battlefield had already been killed.
Bang! Bang!
Muskets were fired continuously, and rows of elite samurai were hit and fell to the ground, making Ishida feel that death was so close to him for the first time.
Ishida Aido was not a brave man in the first place, and this time he took the initiative to attack because of anger, and at the same time he had an advantage in military strength.
But. The situation had become like this, and he couldn't have imagined it at all.
"Protect your lordship!"
The militia quickly surrounded the formation, forming a barrier.
If the cavalry were to storm their own formation, they would first have to face the militiamen who had no armor and were armed with a bamboo pole.
A burst of musket fire just now knocked down dozens of elite flag warriors.
What really scared Ishida Aido.
Fortunately, the generals who commanded the militia reacted quickly and let the militia block it.
Otherwise, it would have been really dangerous just now.
After this incident, Ishida Aido was really a little scared.
He could no longer afford to send his soldiers out.
Today's Ishida Aido. Frightened, a series of orders were given.
These orders are for the generals to bring soldiers to protect themselves.
I can't see that this guy is quite sorry for his life.
But such an order from Ishida Hedao just gave Zhao Hongyu and them a chance.
Tanaka's side has collapsed. There's nothing more to say.
Five hundred genetic warriors pressed up and directly began to attack the main formation,
Tanaka, on the other hand, gathered the defeated troops and began to regroup in the rear of his own rank.
But it takes time. It's not something that can be done in a short period of time.
And the five hundred cavalry were pinned down by a group of clothed minions, and there was no way at all.
Obama seized the plane. Abandon Tanaka and his ashigaru.,Directly killed and attacked the cavalry together.。
For a time, the cavalry suffered heavy losses and fell off their horses one after another.
The coated cavalry that attacked the camp also turned back and attacked those cavalry with the other two teams.
Three hundred against five hundred, with sharp firearms, it was only a matter of time before five hundred cavalry were eliminated.
Ishida's attack has been completely shattered.
If they're going to attack again, they'll have to face the five hundred Janissaries now.
If Ishida wants to defeat the five hundred Praetorian Guard genetic people, it will not be an easy task.
Therefore, the three teams of clothed minions will be relieved and bold to clean up the five hundred cavalry.
As long as these five hundred cavalry are cleaned up, then Ishida Hedao's side will have no mobility.
The rest of the infantry is still very easy to deal with.
The situation of the battle began to become extremely unfavorable for Ishida's side, and he couldn't figure out what to think.
Originally, he had a great advantage, but how could the war be corrupted to such a point in a blink of an eye!
Not only did he not understand, but even Iga and his party, who were hiding in the nearby forest and standing on the branches, were dumbfounded.
The situation on the battlefield is changing so fast that it feels a little dizzying.
With the addition of Zhao Hongyu, their tactics are very strange, so it is not abnormal for people to have such a feeling.
"Well, the iron cannon can still be used like this. It's the first time I've seen this kind of usage.,It seems to be more powerful than a three-stage shot.。 ”
Chizuru Hattori stood there, looking at the battlefield stupidly, muttering to himself.
"It seems that these foreigners are not simple, and since they dare to shell Osaka's commercial town, they also have something to rely on." , Hideyuki Kikuchi appeared next to Chizuru Hattori and spoke his opinion.
Hattori Chizuru nodded when he heard this: "It seems that these foreigners still have some means, and they are not stupid." Originally, I thought that they just couldn't think about it for a while, so they opened fire on Osaka Commercial Town, and they didn't scruple about so many things. Now it seems that this is not the case at all, but they are very confident in their military strength. ”
In the battlefield, Zhao Hongyu and their numbers are at an absolute disadvantage, which can be seen as long as they are not fools.
But. It was they who relied on their absolute inferiority in numbers to defeat the superior Osaka soldiers, and they were still at a disadvantage.
This is not a sneak attack, or an ambush war, but a dignified confrontation between two armies.
In a face-to-face battle, it was beyond everyone's expectations to be able to fight like this.
In the war of the cold weapon era, the number of people is basically the key factor that can determine the outcome of the war.
Of course, there are other issues to consider.
But the key to the number of people must be taken into account.
Especially skirmishes like the one now. The number of people can completely determine the key to the outcome of the battle.
Unfortunately, the Osaka soldiers had enemies from the American continent and were using a new tactic and weapon, so they could no longer be evaluated by common sense.
The battle is now like this, although it was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was within Zhao Hongyu's expectations.
In Zhao Hongyu's view, there is no need to think about winning by himself.
If he can't defeat these widows with his out-of-time tactics and more than a hundred years of flintlock pistols, then he is really a fool.
Besides. The number of people on the other side is not very large, which is only about 5,000 people.
You must know that when he was in the Americas, he was defeating the hungry British with a team of hundreds of people.
And now Zhao Hongyu has money and people. It's not the same way it was at all.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu will not panic at all even when the soldiers are dispatched.
He has the bottom in his heart.
Besides, the battle has been fought until now. They still have some trump cards that they haven't used.
The bottle bombs carried by the Praetorian Guards, as well as the shotguns on their waists, were still unused.
If both the bottle bomb and the shotgun were used, the Osaka soldiers, who were only 5,000 men, would be able to do it.
"Jack it for me. General Tanaka regrouped the team for me, and the militia formed a defensive line not to let the enemy break through! ”
Ishida Aido rode on his horse and kept shouting.
The generals under his command gave orders to the militia under their command at midnight, and let them advance towards the oncoming Praetorian Guard soldiers.
After being attacked in an attack and losing dozens of people, the elite of Qimoto came to the rear with Ishida Aido at this moment.
The attack of the clothed minion cavalry just now still makes them a little scared when they think about it.
If it weren't for the militia's quick reaction, they would have been killed directly in front of Lord Ishida by the opposing cavalry conflict line just now.
If this really happens, then the end of Lord Ishida will not be good.
Therefore, when I thought of these elite warriors, I kept oozing cold sweat.
After Tanaka and their main formation, Tanaka began to gather the routs and let them re-line.
However, it seems that he will not be able to count on it anytime soon.
The ashigaru who were beaten and fled in all directions could not be retracted in a short period of time.
Obviously this is not a realistic thing.
In front of their line, in addition to the five hundred genetic soldiers who were slowly pressing up, there were five hundred Osaka cavalry who were fighting fiercely not far away.
Actually, if you put it nicely, it's a fierce battle, and if you don't say it well, you're being beaten.
The big loop tactics, and the cavalrymen who have been fighting now have no temper at all.
At the same time, Obama and the others are using short-handled shotguns.
As soon as this thing is fired, all those scattered buckshot shots are a big piece.
Each time, a few of those Osaka cavalry were able to land, and even the war horses could be killed.
Because the firing surface is widely spread, you don't even need to aim, you can shoot with your eyes closed.
Therefore, the situation of the Osaka cavalry is now precarious. (To be continued......)
