Chapter 110: Encounter
Before the enemy arrived, Matsumoto Qingguang led about 1,000 men of his own organization to the vicinity of the Han army.
The army consisted of ronin, men of the Matsumoto family, merchant guards, and civilians who wanted to get ahead.
Someone wore armor and carried a well-crafted weapon, someone brought only a broken knife and even a farm implement.
"The King." Matsumoto Aomitsu, dressed in gorgeous armor, rode in front of Wu Nian. Wu Nian glanced at the people he brought, was not surprised, and said, "You go to the Jinding Slope to line up." When the widows have broken the Red Armor Cavalry, you will lead them down the hill and surround the remnants of the Red Armored Cavalry. ”
"Yes." Matsumoto Qingguang also knew that his army was a rabble, so he didn't say anything, and responded happily and rode his horse down.
Then, he led the rabble to the rear on the Jinding slope to line up.
A rabble, no military discipline.
In the team, two ronins struck up a conversation.
"Although the King of Han is brave and good at fighting, it is a bit arrogant to use two or three thousand infantry troops to compete with the famous red armored cavalry of Fusang."
"What do you mean by that? Do you think King Han will fail? ”
"There's a big chance of failure."
"If you think so, why did you come to the battlefield?"
"Defeat does not mean that King Han will die. If I can protect the King of Han, I will fight my way out of the encirclement. Isn't it a meritorious rescue? I'm a ronin. Even if you are in the army, you may just be a big soldier or a small officer. But if the rescue is meritorious. Maybe I'll be able to become a thousand households, or even a general. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
The dialogue between the two made many people's eyes light up.
Yes.
With an infantry army of two or three thousand, he faced five thousand red armored cavalry.
The odds are not good.
But the Han King is a strange commodity to live in.
This is an opportunity for all.
Matsumoto's blue forehead sweated, and he reached out to wipe it. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is fatal for him.
He has successfully hooked up with Wu Nian, not to mention the glory and wealth in the future, how can he be rich. But if Wu Nian dies here.
He's in a bad situation.
"But you have to win. Even if you can't win, you have to survive. Matsumoto Qingguang said secretly in his heart.
Soon after, the rabble fell silent and looked up ahead.
It was already getting dark.
The ground trembled, and then a dazzling red glow appeared on the horizon. The family crest of Toyotomi's family, as well as the family crest of the Ii family, appear on the flag.
A large number of red-armored warriors straddled their horses and stopped not far from the opposite side.
A strong momentum that is enough to suffocate ordinary people is rushing towards the face.
The rabble standing on the Jinding Slope, except for a few strong people, most of them were pale, looking at the red armor with fearful eyes.
Red Armored Cavalry, Northern Samurai.
The two elite troops of the Toyotomi family are synonymous with evil spirits.
Especially the Red Armor Ride. Jing Yi Zhibi is fierce and brutal, and where the red armor ride passes, there are ruins and broken walls.
It takes extraordinary courage to confront such a prestigious elite unit.
Forthwith. The rabble shifted their gaze and fell on the Han army. Although the King of Han is also brave and good at fighting, the Ouchi guards are also elite troops.
But the number of people is too small.
And Jing Yi Zhibi is the second military general in the world, brave and good at fighting.
The Han army will probably lose.
But the king of Han could not die.
A lot of people have a twinkle in their eyes.
Under the banner of the word "Han". Wu Nian was not surprised to see the red armor ride stop. After a long journey, the cavalry had to rest for a moment or two.
He turned his head and looked around at his army.
Behind it is Jinding Slope.
Some wooden stakes were driven in the front, left and right of the military formation, which played a certain role in blocking. At the front of the three directions are the shield soldiers, the god arm archers. Then there were the heavily armored heavy axemen, the heavily armored spearmen, and finally the archers.
All of them are armoured soldiers.
Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction, full of confidence in his inner guard.
And the opposite side is claimed to be a red armored horse, but the armor is in the Fuso style. Compared with the armor of the Han army, it is light and thin, and the defense is poor.
Compared to Wu Nian, the Ouchi guards were a little nervous.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not be able to protect Wu Nian. The Han king who protects them.
In the midst of the Red Armored Cavalry.
The second in the world, one of the four heavenly kings of the Toyotomi family. Ii Naobi wears a red armor with a ghost mask on his face, and the helmet is very strange and ornate, and the back part is decorated with white hair, which looks like a lion's mane.
He straddled a black steed and held a large Fuso spear.
The whole person exudes an aura like the sun. Ordinary people standing in front of him would feel trembling and even faint.
Second in the world.
A brave, fierce, brutal, bloodthirsty man.
Jing Yi Zhibi looked at the Han army in formation, a little surprised. Could it be that Wu Nian has a problem with his brain? His infantry did not rely on the houses in the town for defense, but fought against us on flat ground.
Immediately, a raging fire burned in Jing Yi's heart. This guy looks down on me. Look down on me and ride in red armor.
He clenched the Fuso gun in his hand and let out a roar.
"Samurai. The enemy is ahead. If anyone cuts off the head of the king of Han, the general promises to reward 300,000 stone territory. ”
"Up."
Let's talk about it. Jing Yi straightened his feet around the horse's belly, and the war horse under him was in pain, and made a clattering sound, carrying him like an arrow.
"Oh!!!!" Hearing this, the red-armored warriors let out an excited roar, then raised the big guns in their hands, and chased after Jing Yi Naobi as if they were crazy, and swept towards the Han army.
The daimyo of 300,000 koku, that's a big name.
And the ordinary red-armored warrior's fortune is only a hundred stones.
It is three thousand times higher.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The red armored cavalry did not charge in a straight line, and divided into three arrows on the way, respectively from the front, left, and right, and rushed towards the Han army's military formation.
Among them, the left and right arrows are inserted diagonally.
Five thousand against two or three thousand.
The advantage is in the red armor ride.
The morale of all the red-armored warriors was extremely high, and they trembled with excitement.
It's just that they rejoiced too soon.
"Whoosh !!!!!" The divine arm archers of the Han army's Ouchi guards took the lead in attacking, and when they were out of range of their bows and arrows, they pulled the trigger in their hands.
Countless crossbow arrows shot straight at the Red Armored Rider.
"Poof. Poof. "Countless red-armored warriors, after being hit by crossbow arrows, fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
A few were lucky enough to avoid the cavalry in the rear, and most were trampled into pulp.
The power of the Divine Arm Bow is huge, and even the heavy armor of the Han people is difficult to resist. Not to mention the armor of the Fuso style.
It hurts a lot.
The red-armored warriors did not flinch, screamed, and continued to charge.
After firing a round of arrows, the Divine Arm Archers, with the help of the auxiliaries, loaded with new crossbow arrows with great difficulty and launched them.
When they fired a second bolt, they quickly moved to the rear. Archers in the Han army, took over the work of long-range strikes.
The archers shot arrows at the Red Armored Rider from three directions. A waterfall was formed. Countless red-armored warriors fell from their horses.
But the damage of the archer is not as good as that of the Divine Arm Bow.
When the red-armored warriors rode their horses and rushed in front of the Han army, the number was still staggering.
The momentum is like a landslide and the ground is cracking, very huge.
"It's so powerful." The rabble on the Jinding Slope changed their complexion greatly, and there was a sense of suffocation from drowning.
And they just stood on the hillside and watched, harming the fish in the pond.
It is hard to imagine how much pressure the Han army faced with the red armored cavalry was under.
Terrible.
Terrible.
