Mori Terumoto stood on the walls of Hagi Castle, and his eyes were about to fall off. It's not that I haven't seen this thing before, and the range of the Franc cannon can also reach this point. But the problem is how heavy the Franc cannon is, and how heavy is Li Xiao's thing.

A Furlong cannon that can shoot so far can't be pulled by eight cows. Li Xiao's thing, it seems that he can carry it alone. The two of them carried it, and they could run fast.

The violent explosion was followed by countless pieces of shrapnel flying through the crowd. The loud explosion could not even drown out the screams of the soldiers. Gunsmoke and severed limbs flew through the air together. Kato Kiyomasa's first charge was smashed back by a cannonball just after it was launched.

The Japanese soldiers ran back, and some of them were obviously scared silly. Kneel on the ground with your hands folded and muttering words in your mouth.

Behind Li Xiao's left is the bronze cannon that has just been cast. This thing has a much longer range than a mortar, but Li Xiao did not order this thing to be fired. There is only one cannon, and no matter how good the effect of the bombardment is, the lethality will not be great. Li Xiao wants to use this cannon to play an important role at a critical moment.

"Yaga!" As a striker, Kiyomasa Kato was stunned by a cannonball. He had never seen such artillery fire before, and not only was the fire fierce. And the rate of fire is very dense, it is estimated that the kind of cannon in the mouth of the Nine Ghosts Jialong is this. It's really bad luck to come across this thing. It's no wonder that the Nine Ghosts Jialong, who is known for his fierceness, was also deflated last time.

"My lord! If we charge like this, the casualties will be very large. It's better to wait for the general's army to arrive, and then we will attack. Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Li Xiao's military formation on the high ground in the distance, and said helplessly.

The small plateau blocked the view, so they couldn't see what kind of cannon it was. But a large corpse in front of them told them that it would kill a lot of people to deal with this kind of military formation. And Kato Kiyomasa is only leading a 20,000-strong forward army, even if it is all filled here, it will be in vain.

Kato Kiyomasa swallowed helplessly, too aggrieved!

As a member of the Seven Guns of Zhiyue, he has fought countless battles in his life. But none of the battles were so bad, and the first charge had not even been fully launched. It was smashed back by the enemy's artillery fire, although the losses have not yet been reported. But looking at the corpses in that place, there were at least more than 200 corpses.

"Okay!" Shigeharu Takenaka is known as the first adviser of the Japanese kingdom and is deeply trusted by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Since he has spoken, Kato Kiyomasa has to swallow this breath even if he doesn't swallow it.

Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the order, and the army began to retreat.

Li Xiao saw Tokugawa Ieyasu shrinking the formation and smiled unkindly. The Japanese soldiers were charging just now, and it was obvious that they were also trying to carry out a tentative attack. So the number of people is not large, and the spacing is very large. Now the shrinking retreat was different, except for a few rows of arquebusiers holding out. Everyone retreats to the back!

"Maximum charge, extended shot! Master Man, it's up to you! "With Li Xiao's order, all mortars began to adjust their angles.

"Huh! Fucking hands are itching for a long time, brothers, get on the horse! Man Gui rubbed his hands excitedly. The Mongols were most cherished of horsepower in war, and generally rode one horse when marching and another when it was time to fight. It's just that when I'm afraid of fighting, the war horse has no strength.

Man Gui gave an order, and all the Mongolian warriors under his command turned over and got on their horses. Drawing his shiny saber, he looked at the other side like a wolf.

The sound of artillery was an order, as mortar shells whizzed into the arquebusiers' formation. Man Gui's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the four hooves of the war horse spread out and the dirt on the ground flew wildly. Five hundred Mongol cavalry rushed out of the army as if there was a gust of wind.

The arquebusiers under Kato Kiyomasa were stunned, they didn't expect those guns to shoot so far. Ever since Oda Nobunaga defeated the cavalry of the Takeda family with three dans, arquebusiers have become the nemesis of cavalry.

Three-stage strikes and red deer attacks have become essential tactics, and each daimyo is proficient in playing. The arquebusiers stood in three rows, huddled together. Because the front is protected by red deer, he is not afraid of being hit head-on by the cavalry.

Whether it is a charge or a retreat, this is the basic line of the military formation.

The shells shattered the red deer, and the scattered shrapnel mercilessly harvested the lives of the arquebusiers. Because the stations are very dense, the casualties caused by a single shell are very staggering.

The distance between the two sides was only two thousand paces, and the cavalry could calmly raise the speed of their horses to the highest level. The smoke had just cleared a little when the surviving arquebusiers were shocked to find it. Those cavalrymen with Xueliang sabers in their hands, "whoa" and "whoop" have rushed in front of them.

Even the arquebus in his hand was lit, and the gun didn't have time to shoot out. The head was split in half by a lightning-like saber, and the arquebusiers were lightly armoured. The Mongol cavalry needed little force, just holding the knives in their hands. Relying on the speed of horses can leave huge wounds on them!

Man Gui drove the war horse under his crotch to jump over the deer that had been blown up, and the saber slammed away the stabbed cross spear. With a slash in his hand, he cut the man with the gun in half, and when he collected the knife, he slashed the saber and cut off half of the other man's head.

The war horse rushed out more than a foot away, and blood spurted out of the cavity of the dead man behind him.

The three-layer broken rear line of a thousand arquebusiers was stabbed open like a soft egg. Man Gui led the Mongol cavalry, like a tiger descending from the mountain. The Japanese soldiers, who had just been frightened by the mortars, saw a cavalry like a madman suddenly rushing up behind them. How can anyone care about turning around and fighting back, everyone is thinking about how to escape.

What had just been an orderly retreat turned into a rout almost instantly. Everyone thought about how to escape for their lives, and no one thought about staying behind to defend against the enemy army. Besides, the cavalry that rushed up at a high speed had great potential and terrifying, and it was definitely not something that a few infantry could resist.

Several samurai in strange armor bravely stepped forward, after slashing several deserters in succession. Finally, a team of one or two hundred people was organized, but they had just gained a foothold. Before he could catch his breath, Man Gui rushed up with his men.

The katana left only a shallow scratch on the horse, and the samurai, dressed in the best of the day, was knocked off by the warhorse. With these bastards in heavy armor, there is no need to slash. The powerful potential energy of the war horse with more than two hundred catties running at a rapid speed can easily knock them into the air.

More than 200 people who wanted to establish a front died miserably, and they were very disgusted and let their horses crash into them. The person who is fast and can even catch up in mid-air has not yet landed, and he will be stabbed in the waist.

The bright saber can always split a person's waist in half, and the upper body crawls on the ground. The lower body kept kicking and twitching, and a person became two disconnected parts in an instant. The visual impact and shock are absolutely bloody and exciting.

Perhaps the reason for killing sheep and cattle since childhood, the Mongols love this kind of blood. They will be stimulated by this scene "whoop" and "whoop", and then pounce even more frantically at the enemy on the opposite side. Usually by this time, they are all crazy.

They just keep chopping and killing. Until both men and horses are too tired to work, they will stop the footsteps of the horses and the knives in their hands.

"Crazy, all crazy! Five hundred people dared to chase after 20,000 people to kill, and they were all crazy! Mori Terumoto glared and roared. He had seen the bravery of the Takeda cavalry with his own eyes, which could be compared to these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The Takeda cavalry is scum!

"Domain Lord! Let's join our cavalry! Mori Hidemoto and Mori Hidetada said together.

"Domain Lord! As long as you rush again, Kato Kiyomasa's Hachiman Great Bodhisattva will fall. Yoshikawa Motoharu also stood up and said.

"Domain Lord! Decide! Kobayakawa Ryukei also stepped forward.

"Fight!" It is rare for his subordinates to be so consistent, and Maori Huiyuan no longer hesitates. Immediately the order was given, and the only remaining 1,000 cavalry of the Mori family immediately rushed out of Hagi Castle.

"It's rare! The old fox also made a move, thinking that he wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Li Xiao, who had just wanted to order Mangui to withdraw, saw that the cavalry of the Maori family had also joined in.

The defeat of the army and the rout of the army are two different things, and the defeated army is still organized. Generally, they cover each other and roll back, but the rout is different. Everyone doesn't care about anyone, they just want to live.

If there are infantry behind you, that's pretty easy. As long as you pay attention to physical activity and have good lung capacity and muscle strength. You can win this long-distance race!

But the other party is a cavalryman, so this matter is not easy to handle. People and horses compete for running speed and lung capacity, except for a few thin and thin African blacks, others really don't have that ability.

Many of them were just cavalry chasing after them, and they thought about turning around and resisting. As a result, a cold light split in half with a cross gun. How could the barrel of a cross gun made of wood be able to stop a saber made of phosphorus steel.

More people are running with their heads bored, only to feel a chill on their backs. There is a huge wound on your body, and when you feel the pain, the blood is already gushing out like a fountain.

Man Gui showed his knife skills with a wicked taste, and he would stick to the back of the person's head. The huge pressure of the carotid artery can spray a person's head directly. A person's mouth can even open and close in the air!

So everywhere this guy passed by, there were people with rolling heads and blood gushing out.

"My lord, get on the horse!" Ignoring Kato Kiyomasa's roar, his samurai forced Kato Kiyomasa onto the war horse. Then, under the escort of his henchmen and samurai, he fled to the distance without his life.

Kato Kiyomasa was so angry that his head was smoking, but there was nothing he could do, and his men had been defeated. Now it is impossible to bring these rout armies together and turn the tide of the war in any way! After a lifetime of fighting, I didn't expect to plant such a big heel today.

When he saw Tokugawa Ieyasu, there was no other way but to commit suicide by seppuku.

Kato Kiyomasa wanted to end his life in a samurai way, but Li Xiao didn't want to give him this opportunity.

The artillery behind him had been aimed at for a long time, and the group of horsemen on horseback was particularly conspicuous in the chaotic army. Because there was no cavalry in this group of soldiers. At this time, those who can escape on horseback must be big officials.

The bronze cannon was quickly aimed at these people, and since it was a moving target, Li Xiao also added an amount of advance. It's hard to say whether it can hit or not, after all, this thing is not a 152 howitzer in later generations.

"Bang!" The cannon roared, and Li Xiao nervously looked at the cavalry galloping in the distance.

There was still an error in the calculations, and the shell exploded a little ahead of the horse team. Several cavalrymen were blown up on the spot, and many more were hit by shrapnel and fell off their horses like dumplings.

Kiyomasa Kato felt a huge cloud of smoke rushing towards him, and the smoke was burning and hurting his face with a heat wave. His ears couldn't hear anything, and he could only see the samurai around him constantly opening and closing their mouths.

There was some pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that the armor seemed to be in good condition. He was dressed in heavy earthly equipment, not only a bow and a crossbow. Even arquebuses are impossible to penetrate at long distances. For his own armor, Kato Kiyomasa is still very confident.

The pain in his chest became more and more painful, and Kato Kiyomasa felt that something was wrong, but he still tried to persevere.

Seeing the guy in gorgeous armor fleeing on horseback, Li Xiao sighed helplessly. In this case, only one shell can be fired, and it is simply too late to reload. It looks like you'll need to forge a cannon to get the desired damage.

But this bronze cannon is too damn expensive, and Daming is already short of copper. In fact, there are more copper coins than silver in private circulation. In order to meet the construction deadline, this cannon melted a lot of copper coins.

Yu Lao and Inafu Younao, these two guys have now become tech nerds, and they never care how much money they spend in order to make good things. These two old guys are now a pair of money-eating machines. Every time he sees the scientific research budget, Li Xiao feels that his head hurts badly.

After Kiyomasa Kato fled, the team became even more chaotic. Everyone was running around the mountains, and there were still some samurai who wanted to turn the tide of the situation. After the Maori cavalry joined in, anyone who thought that way was cut in two.

The cavalry of the Maori family, both in terms of horses and knights, was actually much worse than the Mongol cavalry under Man Gui. A nation on horseback is by no means in vain. However, at this time, the formation of the Japanese soldiers no longer existed. Everyone was thinking about running away, and the gap was not visible at all.

These cavalry were the last elite of the Mori family, which had 3,000 cavalry at its peak, and the Mori fiefdom was greatly reduced after the Battle of Sekigahara. Maori Huiyuan also gritted his teeth, so he could be regarded as retaining this cavalry.

Today these cavalry finally came into use, and the samurai wielded katanas. Crazy chopping everything that ran on two legs, the Maori family's years of grudge were stretched at this moment.

After enduring it for so many years, it is finally time to have revenge and revenge. Mori Hidemoto, Mori Hidetada personally rushed to kill with his henchmen samurai.

The Tokugawa army that was killed all the way was bloody, and the zombies flowed for dozens of miles, and when Mangui came back. The armor on his body seemed to be wearing a layer of black clothes, and the strong smell of blood made people dare not look at it directly.
