Zhao Hongyu saw the actions of the crusading army.

At this time, the crusading army, but the horse regiment and the single wave regiment were separated and re-arrayed in two places.

Zhao Hongyu immediately reacted, the enemy was going to attack him from two directions, and such an attack method would definitely make it impossible to give play to some of his advantages.

The soldiers under Zhao Hongyu's command are very brave, and their weapons are also very sharp.

However, there are drawbacks to this.

The tactic of lining up to shoot requires that the enemy shoot at the front, and at the same time, the enemy needs to attack from the front.

One of the requirements of this dominant tactic, which has been popular more than a hundred years later, is that both opposing sides abide by such rules.

And the reason why such tactics are popular in Europe is also related to the bullshit chivalry that Europeans admire, even on the battlefield, they have to maintain such rules.

In the face-to-face attack of the two armies, no one can deceive.

Therefore, there will be a market for such tactics.

But not in the East.

You must know that the war in the East has always been all-encompassing, and all kinds of schemes and tricks have emerged one after another.

What is required is to be whimsical and eclectic.

What kind of bullshit chivalric demeanor, no one cares at all.

Therefore, the Japanese people are like this now, they have made their way to deal with Zhao Hongyu's sharp battle formation and weapons.

This is also understandable.

Now, it depends on how Zhao Hongyu responds.

"The Japanese have become wiser, and they seem to have seen through my weaknesses." , Zhao Hongyu smiled. "However, they think that even if they find a way to defeat me, they will be a little brainless."

Although the division of the crusading army seemed to have caused trouble to Zhao Hongyu, he did not have too much worry because of this.

"My lord, the chamber of the cannon has cooled. Nine rounds of shelling! ”

A European coated cavalryman galloped and came behind Zhao Hongyu to report the news of artillery.

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, the smile on his face became stronger.

"Tell the artillerymen that the target is due north, shelling! Swap shots! ”

The coated cavalry obeyed the order and left.

"Grandma, do you think my artillery can't shoot that far? This time I'm going to open your eyes and get a taste of what real shelling is! ”

"Your Highness, what is the purpose of the enemy in doing this? They seem to be a little irrational in dividing their troops, right? ”

Tokugawa Kayo, who is beside Zhao Hongyu, is still a little younger. She couldn't understand the arrangement of the crusading army.

"No, they did it specifically against us. I guess the other side took into account the power of our artillery, so in order to reduce casualties, they made such an arrangement, which shows that their commander is a very smart guy. ”

Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu explained to Tokugawa Kayo about the bulkiness of the gun and the fact that it was not very convenient to move, which made Tokugawa Kayo understand something.

"Your Highness, do you have any way to deal with this? We have too few troops to cope with simultaneous attacks from both sides. ”

Tokugawa Kayo listened to Zhao Hongyu's explanation. Immediately, a worried look appeared on his face.

Zhao Hongyu picked up the monocular at this time and began to look at the formation in the opposite direction.

He saw from the Tajima army formation and the single wave army formation that the enemy's originally dense formation began to disperse.

Meantime. Some cavalry units began to gallop out from the rear of the infantry formation.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongyu almost understood the other party's plan.

"Attacking horses in two directions? No, we may have to face simultaneous attacks from all four fronts. ”

He put down the telescope in his hand. Zhao Hongyu said something that made Tokugawa Kayo's little face turn pale.

What, we have to face attacks from four directions, how can we possibly deal with it?

I can't help but feel that the little girl is not worried. Because she had never seen such a weak force in a situation to face an attack on four fronts.

However, when Tokugawa Kayo saw Zhao Hongyu's expression, he still looked like an old god was there, as if he was not worried at all.

Could it be that His Highness is crazy?

He's not worried at all?

Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways, looked at Tokugawa Kayo, and smiled at her.

Seeing Zhao Hongyu smiling at him, Tokugawa Kayo was a little resentful.

Oh my God, it's all like this, aren't you really worried?

I'm dying of sorrow right now.

I don't know if you have a big heart, or if you are confident that you can resist the attack of the crusading army.

However, with such a weak force, it is obvious that we cannot stand up to the crusading army.

Tokugawa Kayo complained in his heart.

In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, aren't you worried at all?" ”

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless grimace.

"Worry, will worrying solve the problem?"

Tokugawa Kayo rolled her eyes, and she began to wonder if this highness was an idiot after all.

It's all like this, and he's still in the mood to joke with himself.

Zhao Hongyu put away his hippie smiling face, and suddenly became serious.

"Kayo, of course we will be in trouble in the face of the enemy's arrangement. But I have the confidence to defeat them, and I can assure you that since you have taken refuge in me, I will always show you some skill to show you how strong I am, so as to prove that your vision is not wrong. ”

Tokugawa fell silent.

She didn't know where Zhao Hongyu got this confidence.

Our own forces are obviously at a disadvantage, and it is very unrealistic to face attacks from four directions.

Although the crusaders suffered heavy losses after being repulsed by their own side after two charges, this loss was not enough to break the opponent's bones.

It can be said that the crusading army still has the advantage of troops.

Now that the opponent has rearranged the battle formation against themselves, if they attack, how will the enemy in the four directions deal with it?

Shall we divide our forces to deal with it?

But in this way, the already weak forces will become even smaller.

Tokugawa Kayo really couldn't figure it out.

just saw Zhao Hongyu's confident look, as if there was really something to do.

God is mysterious, what are you doing?

Although Hattori Chizuru was also curious, she didn't ask so many words.

She also saw the confidence on Zhao Hongyu's face. Although I don't know where this confidence comes from, Hattori Chizuru feels that he should trust this very good highness.

There is no reason for this feeling.

Rumble!

The artillery in the rear began shelling.

One shell after another, it was excited out of the cannon and fell into the crowd of infantry of the single wave army in front of it.

Although they had dispersed their soldiers, their casualties were still heavy under the powerful and wide-ranging scatterballs.

The round iron cannonballs, after being ignited in the air above the single wave of infantry, began to explode and shatter and shoot down the ground.

Its coverage range is also more than 50 meters.

In such a killing range, one can imagine how great the damage is caused.

The Japanese haven't started charging yet. But already under artillery fire, morale was greatly reduced, and at the same time huge casualties began.

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand again and placed the telescope on the left eye frame.

In the telescope, in the infantry formation of the single wave regiment opposite, those soldiers fell in pieces.

For the power of the shotgun, Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied.

By the time the infantry of the single wave regiment was shelled, the cavalry under his command had already come to the northwest and began to form a group.

The cavalry quickly put together a queue. He began to urge the war horse to run slowly, which was obviously the prelude to the start of the charge.

The telescope turned, and Zhao Hongyu looked to the northeast and east again.

The Tajima infantry under the command of Ishida Aido also began to move slowly and pressed up.

Coming from its flanks. The cavalry that arrived on the eastern flank, at this time also began the prelude to the charge.

And at this time, Zhao Hongyu was just shelling in one direction?

"I command!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Three hundred cavalry attack, target the cavalry in the northwest direction!"

"Yes!"

The herald rode away. Soon I heard him shouting loudly.

Then, the coaters in Europe roared excitedly. Then he galloped out of the horse and began to charge towards the single wave of cavalry in the northwest.

With such an arrangement, Zhao Hongyu was able to reluctantly deal with enemy attacks from two directions.

Although the enemy due north was subjected to heavy artillery bombardment, their infantry phalanx began to move slowly.

They are moving with the artillery, or they are using themselves to attract the artillery.

Anyway, it's good, anyway, Zhao Hongyu still has enemies in two directions, and he didn't deal with it.

Now under Zhao Hongyu's command, there are more than 100 former pirates of Liu Dascar and Wang Fuzi, as well as 500 Praetorian Guards and more than 400 Osaka prisoners.

"Let Wang Fuzi press the formation behind the line of the captured soldiers, and the Praetorian Guard genetically advances, striving to crush the enemy in the north and northwest directions in a short time."

Zhao Hongyu quickly gave the order.

The enemy in both directions is very easy to solve.

Zhao Hongyu is very confident.

But what about the infantry and cavalry in the northeast and east?

In Zhao Hongyu's hands now, there are more than 100 former pirates of Wang Fuzi, as well as Osaka captive soldiers.

And the reason why they were lined up behind the Osaka captives was to let them look at the captives.

In this way, in Zhao Hongyu's hands, there is no force to send out.

The Osaka captives can't be too trusted, after all, these guys are not very loyal.

In order to prevent these Osaka captives from making trouble in an unfavorable situation, Zhao Hongyu had to let people watch them.

Then, Master Wang, they just came in handy.

Besides, Zhao Hongyu's self-confidence is not without reason.

Because he still has a back hand.

No one saw it, and the gate suddenly opened in the makeshift camp a few hundred meters away.

The black-pressed cavalry rushed out of the gate...... (To be continued......)
