"Bomb !!" With the Russian Foreign Legion, the officers at all levels of the elite grenadier Praetorian Guard roared angrily, and quickly rushed to the eyes of the iron artillery of the Southwest Coalition Army and threw out pieces of small grenades!

Then, the tall Russian men roared and killed with bayonets!

The main force of the Southwest Coalition led by the Maori Governor, unexpectedly, was intercepted by Paplov, who had just defeated the Satsuma Domain, which was still in the Maori Governor's prediction, the main army of so many people, in the case of losing the reception on the back road, a sudden retreat must require a breakthrough battle, the reason why he was eager to disengage from the main force of the shogunate was mainly because he didn't want to fall into a state of being flanked, and it did not mean that the Maori Governor was afraid of fighting with the Han Empire army!

After the two sides engaged, in front of the Pavlov grenadier corps, all of them were the essence of the main force of the Southwestern Coalition Army, the iron artillery!

The Maori governor, who has fully attached importance to the power of firearms, will naturally not be like before, just using the ordinary ashigaru to form the iron artillery group, the southwest coalition army's iron artillery reform is much faster than the outdated shogunate army, the iron artillery group, except for the personnel who are specially responsible for loading the front row, are all composed of brave ashigaru soldiers and real samurai!

These people are also the real elite of the soldiers of the Southwest Coalition!

Therefore, the iron artillery in the front row did not panic in the face of the bayonets of the Russian strong men led by Pavlov, and even many samurai and Japanese soldiers who were accustomed to fighting on the battlefield shouted Yaga in their mouths, and at the moment when they were close to throwing grenades on the opposite side, they threw their flintlock pistols or arquebuses on the ground and drew their katanas!

If it weren't for the large area of sparkling grenades descending on a large area, these Southwest Alliance elites would definitely be able to entangle with Pavlov's elite in hand-to-hand combat!

Of course, it's all just if......

It's the first time that the Maori Governor has seen that among the firearms, there is such a weapon, and the exploding cannonballs can still be thrown out collectively!

After a flurry of close-range grenade explosions, before the smoke cleared, the Russian strong man had already rushed into the Japanese army formation with a katana, who was deaf and bombarded by the aftermath of the explosion!

Almost instantly, the hand-to-hand combat elites placed by the Southwest Coalition Army, which were affected by the grenades, to resist the first wave of ferocious impact, were killed!

Most of the back are ordinary reloading ashigaru and cannon fodder, the elite in front jumped, Paplov's men and horses swept the trend of big victories, driven all the way, how can these ashigaru withstand it?

This advantage is like a snowball, quickly spreading to the entire iron artillery crowd in front, the Maori governor with cold hands and constantly ordering the dispatch of reserve samurai, trying to save the defeat, but Pavlov, a group of Russian strong men, has long been prepared for a desperate bet before the battle, and the entire battlefield is filled with a low Ula sound, which shocks the morale of the Southwest Coalition Army!

The main force of the Southwest Coalition Army, which was already defeated and retreated because of the attack on the shogunate, and its morale declined, how could it be stopped under this kind of impact that either you collapsed or I was crippled?

Moreover, the height of the Japanese is obviously inferior to that of the Han Chinese, let alone compared to the tall and strong Russian men!

The Japanese of this era did not invent the folded and glowing bayonets in the hand-to-hand combat of the Russo-Japanese War with group tactics, and the Russian strong men had almost no problem with one or two by virtue of their huge physical superiority in hand-to-hand combat!

You know, the soldiers of the elite grenadiers, even if they are placed in Russia itself, are outstanding big and tall!

Unless you have a certain degree of skill and can crush the opponent in skill, otherwise, hand-to-hand combat still depends on courage and size!

With these two factors, Russian soldiers can completely crush the little Japanese shorty!

These situations were clearly reflected on the battlefield in the eyes of the Maori governor, and he had to admit that even the Japanese samurai who were proficient in fighting and these Russian strong men did not dare to say that they would win!

What's more, the Japanese samurai who are proficient in fighting are a minority, even in the orthodox samurai class!

Pavlov's whole army pressed in, constantly compressing the battlefield space of the main Japanese force, even if the Southwestern Coalition Army had an abundant superiority in troops, it still had to retreat step by step, and even a rout had been formed locally!

A large number of forcibly pulled ashigaru cannon fodder, without even seeing the enemy's face, they cried and shouted for their mothers to scatter and flee, the chaotic battlefield made it more and more difficult for Japanese officers to restrain the soldiers, and even many wild samurai who temporarily took refuge, saw the decline on the battlefield of the Southwest Coalition Army, and the fierce Russian strong men, also left the battlefield in fear!

Pavlov had no interest in the rout of the deserters, and he had only one goal, the Maori governor's camp in the Chinese army!

As long as the flag of the Maori Governor falls, or the Maori Governor absconds with his men, the battle can be completely won!

At this time, Pavlov couldn't help but be annoyed that his side failed to bring heavy artillery due to the rapid march, otherwise, with the current advantage, as long as he launched a rapid fire on the rear of the Southwest Coalition Army, he could cut off their reserve support road, without the support of the new army, the main force of the Southwest Coalition Army would have been unable to withstand it for a long time!

But it doesn't matter if there is no artillery, it's just that there is more time to fight, more people killed and wounded, and the loyalty of the army drawn by the system is even higher than that of the Han people in the system, they died for the empire, and they have no regrets!

This time, Pavlov was ready for the annihilation of the entire army and annihilated the main force of the Japanese rebel army!

The result was better than Pavlov expected, and the will to resist of the main forces of the Southwestern Coalition Army was not as tenacious as the Maori governor thought!

In this kind of battle situation that may be destroyed at any time, the weaknesses of the multi-party coalition army that were previously covered by the successive battles of the Southwest Coalition Army have been infinitely magnified, and the distortion of the military formation and the greatly reduced morale have made obvious cracks and gaps appear between the army warriors of each family!

It also created more opportunities for Paplov!

After several hours of fierce fighting, the main force of the Southwest Coalition Army finally could not support it and scattered and fled!

The Maori Governor did not leave the Chinese army from beginning to end, and when the Russian strong man attacked the Chinese army camp, he only found the headless body of the Maori Governor who committed suicide by seppuku!

Although the Maori governor was able to get out, he knew very well that the defeat of this battle would wipe out the elites of the four powerful feudal clans in the southwest, and even the elites accumulated over the years could not defeat the combined forces of the Han Empire and the Tokugawa shogunate.

Instead of surrendering humiliatingly at that time, it is better to cut your stomach directly on the battlefield!

It's a pity that although Pavlov won, because the resistance of the Maori governor was too stubborn and the losses were huge, the Russian Foreign Legion did not recuperate for a period of time, and it was unable to fight again...... (To be continued.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)
