435. Welcome Welcome Warm Welcome [1/2]
This was the first time Iyun had seen Fusang's army fighting, and it was full of fun, so he asked the army to stop and everyone watched the excitement together. I saw that the elbow army stood with their backs to the city, and every forty or fifty soldiers lined up in a small square in a horizontal column, and in each small square there was a samurai carrying a flag.
Most of the soldiers of the Liver Fu Army used spears, a few used bows and arrows, and almost no one used anything other than these two weapons. There were only a few samurai who used katanas.
Yi Yun counted casually, and there were about forty squares in the elbow army, and if each square was counted as fifty people, it would be almost more than two thousand. This is for a small daimyo with only 120,000 stones, and his entire net worth has been bet.
And the strength of the Shimazu side is about the same, about two thousand three, which does not seem to be the entire strength of the Shimazu army. They also stood in square after square, but in addition to spearmen and archers, they also had an additional type of army, which was the gunner.
The Shimazu clan is famous for their use of firearms, but when Yiyun takes a closer look, there are not many of them, and at the back of the military formation, there are only about 500 firecrackers, and the other more than 2,000 people are ordinary soldiers.
It's right to think about it, although Shimazu is a powerful daimyo in Fuso, but in Yiyun's opinion, he is also a big village chief, how many firecrackers can he make? Presumably, in the composition of the Shimazu family's army, the ratio of firecrackers to ordinary miscellaneous soldiers is also one to five.
The two or three thousand soldiers sent here must have been only a small part of the Shimazu army. Their main force of firearms must not have been transferred, so there were only 500 guns.
But just these 500 soldiers are powerful enough. I saw that the two armies faced each other for a while, and as soon as the door of the Shimazu army was opened, the firecrackers began to bombard. The sound of gunfire was like firecrackers, and it rang out in a loud voice. The soldiers of the elbow army were suddenly beaten on their backs and retreated in embarrassment.
The Liver Fu Army took a few steps back, and the opponent's fire gun volley passed a round, and at the moment when the Fire Gun soldiers were loaded, a samurai in the Liver Fu Army suddenly charged with a group of outlaws, and desperately killed the Fire Gun troops. It seems that the samurai of Fuso also have considerable experience in dealing with firearms. Knew how to counter-charge while the Musketeer was reloading.
However, the Shimazu army was obviously also guarding against this, and several small teams on both sides encircled the center together, blocking the attack of the Liver Fu army, and then forcing the Liver Fu army back to the castle.
It is clear that the elbow army is not an opponent of the Shimazu army!
Yi Yun couldn't help but speak: "I'm depressed, I'm here to fight for the liver, I want to occupy his territory." robbed his population, why was he beaten by others first?"
Zheng Zhifeng, who was next to him, hurriedly introduced: "The Liver Fu family and the Shimazu family are old enemies and have been fighting, but this time it is a little different, the Shimazu army actually hit the main city of the Liver Fu family." It seems that if the liver Fu family loses this battle, it will be completely over. ”
"In other words, what I want to rob, uncle, will be snatched by Shimazu first?"
"That's right!" Li Chengyu next to him complained: "Let me make a special explanation, what you said in person last time, let's not hit Shimazu first, and choose a soft pinch for persimmons...... But the enemy you don't plan to attack pinched your persimmon first, what are you going to do?"
"I'll take it!" Yi Yun said unhappily: "Then what else can I do? Pinch the hard persimmons and soft persimmons together! I don't bother to care if Shimazu is strong or not, and the order will go down, and our army will rush over and beat Shimazu into a pig's head first." ”
"This ...... Is it okay for you to mess around like this? See who bites whom? Don't you talk about the combination of vertical and horizontal?" Li Chengyu sweated profusely. ...,
"I had a with a bunch of wild people. Yi Yun laughed hesitantly: "I came to Fusang specifically to see who bites whom." ”
As soon as Iyun said this, the army began to advance. Because there are guns on the opposite side, Yi Yun's army doesn't dare to hold it up, if you don't have the brains to rush over, you will definitely be injured countless by other people's guns, it is said that this situation should be bombarded with cannons, but the cannons are all left on the ship due to the inconvenience of transportation.
It's okay to win, but it's better to keep the focus to the minimum.
Li Chengyu waved the command flag, and the military formation began to move forward slowly. In the middle, there are Yi Yun's guncorps troops, there are two thousand people, forming a thick dense firepower formation, next to it is a group of "guards", "guards", "swordsmen" and other second-order and third-order hand-to-hand combat professional guards, on the periphery of this thick military formation, wandering two hundred stragglers, they did not form into a military formation, but scattered around, each with a rifle, Yi Yun gave them the freedom to judge whether to shoot, and the right to freely judge which enemy to shoot.
The army began to press slowly towards the battlefield.
Just as Iyun's army was advancing, there were some changes in the middle of the battlefield, and the army of the Liver Fu family could not withstand the onslaught of the Shimazu army, and began to retreat towards the city, and they retreated into the city and shot a large number of bows and arrows from under the castle. The troops left outside the castle were all siege troops of the Shimazu army.
"Lord Wang, you said that you wanted two persimmons to pinch together, but one persimmon hid in the city!" Li Chengyu laughed and said, "What should I do?"
"Cut, what else can I do? Pinch what you can pinch first, and then talk about what you can't pinch later. ”
Adhering to the spirit of spoofing nonsense and specializing in making trouble, Yiyun's troops are getting closer and closer to the battlefield. At this time, the liver army in the city and the Shimazu army outside the city all saw an army coming from the south. At first, the general of the Shimazu army thought that it was reinforcements from the other side, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was an army that he had never seen before, and every soldier was dressed strangely, no, not strange, but gorgeous!
You must know that at that time, the soldiers of Fuso were temporarily recruited from the territory, and they were usually farmers who farmed the land, and when they were fighting, each person was issued a spear, even if it was ashigaru. It was not until after the separation of soldiers and peasants that soldiers and peasants became professional soldiers. Without the separation of soldiers and peasants, it is the most scummy first-order ashigar, which is equivalent to the militia of the Great Meng Country.
These people are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, can they afford to wear clothes? Most of them are dressed in linen, and they are in tatters.
Relatively speaking, Yi Yun's army was very well dressed, everyone wore cotton uniforms issued by Yi Yun, and the clothes were embroidered with beautiful stripes, and there were badges representing military ranks on their shoulders. There are some soldiers who have a large circle drawn on their backs, and the word "righteousness" is embroidered in the circle, which is a Yiwu soldier. Some of the soldiers had the word "Shanghai" embroidered on their backs, which were Yiyun's domestic slaves. This one came out together, neatly and neatly, and suddenly pressed down the chaotic peasants of the Fusang army.
The Shimazu army was taken aback, where did this army come from? So rich? Everyone wore cotton clothes that only samurai could afford?
A scout immediately ran out of the Shimazu army and flew towards Iyun's army. Yiyun knew that this soldier was here to deliver the news, so he asked Oda Nori to take charge of catching it.
After a while, Oda Nori recounted to Iyun, "He came to us and asked, who are you, where are you, what are you doing, and if you are passing by, please do not interfere in the battle between the Shimazu family and the elbow family." ”
"Cut!" Iyun waved his hand boredly, "Ignore him...... Oh, no, you can't ignore him, you should prank him, you just say to this herald, we are the army of the Owari Oda family, and we are the reinforcements invited by the Liver Fu family, hahahaha, look at what kind of expression he is. ”...,
Yi Yun is so idle that he talks and plays.
But the Shimazu soldier who gave the order was frightened half to death, screamed strangely, turned around and ran back to the Shimazu family's military formation. After a while, the entire Shimazu army shook.
The commander of this Shimazu army is named Ijiin Tadaro, and there are two lieutenant generals, named Kawakami Hisaro and Shinna Tadamoto, both of whom are the most loyal retainers of the Shimazu family. As soon as they heard the herald's words back, they were immediately stunned...... Oh my God! How did the Oda army end up here? Aren't they in Owari? Why did they fly to the southernmost edge of Kyushu Island?
Speaking of Oda Nobunaga's daimyo, it was already very famous at this time, and he got a nickname in Fuso, called the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and it was a terrifying monster that everyone in Fuso heard of.
Ijiin Tadaro, Kawakami Kuro, and Shinna Tadagen were startled at the same time, and the three of them looked at each other, and after a long time, Shinna Tadamoto snorted miserably and said, "Our Shimazu family is not the opponent of the Oda family...... What to do?"
"Let's negotiate quickly!" said Kawakami.
It's right to think about it, it's better to negotiate, he took advantage of the fact that Yiyun's army was still a mile or two away, and hurriedly sent someone to shout to the liver Fu army in the city: "Your Highness the liver in the city, your army has invited Oda from Owari to be reinforcements, we know that we are not enemies, and now I beg you to agree to a temporary truce between our two families, please don't make a move with your Oda reinforcements......"
When the liver in the city heard this, the second monk was puzzled, what reinforcements did I invite? When did I invite reinforcements?
He thought hard for a long time with his not very good brain, and finally suddenly realized: "Ah, the strange army that appeared outside the city is the army of the Oda family, the most powerful in Fuso, they are here to rescue me, hahahaha, Amaterasu God bless, I thought that the liver Fu family was about to be destroyed by Shimazu, and now suddenly there is an army of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King to reinforce me, it is really God help me." ”
He took the lead in person, stood at the head of the city, and shouted at the Yiyun army outside: "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome......"
When the army received his instructions, they also cheered loudly, and the whole city rejoiced as if it were a festival. Think about it, when you were beaten to death, and suddenly reinforcements came from outside the city, can you be unhappy?
Yi Yun was a little confused by the enthusiasm of the liver Fu family: "What is this? Oh, no matter, let's beat Shimazu first...... Beat me to death!" (Your support is my greatest motivation.) )
