436, bullying Shimazu [2/2]

The Shimazu army was not very afraid at first, although their total number was less than three thousand, the total number of Yiyun was more than five thousand, and it seemed that there was a big gap in numbers, but in the eyes of the proud Fuso samurai, this gap was not a problem.

Fuso Sengoku is a very magical, or very strange place, where it often happens that less is more. For example, Oda Nobunaga attacked Imagawa Yoshimoto's 30,000 army with 2,000 men in Tsubasasa, and as a result, he beheaded Imagawa Yoshimoto in the midst of the chaos. Another example is the Takenaka Half-Guard, where eighteen people captured Inaba Mountain and became famous all over the world. At the end of the Battle of Sekigahara, Sanada Masayuki used a mere 800 troops at Ueda Castle to nail Tokugawa Hidetada's 38,000-strong army to the death, so that it could not catch up with the Battle of Sekigahara.

In short, the famous generals of Fuso were not afraid of the large number of opponents, but were proud of defeating the enemy army with a large number of people.

Shimazu's generals summed up, since the enemy does not negotiate peace, and has to fight, then fight! The liver Fu family in the city is not worth mentioning, don't care, and it is the right way to deal with the Oda army behind it with all your might.

The Shimazu army came to a big change under the city, the front army became the rear army, the rear army became the front army, the army formation turned around, facing the direction of Yiyun, and the armies of the two sides began to approach.

Several miles away, the scouts in the Fuso army began to scream: "Gunner...... A lot of guns...... Oh my God, at least two thousand. ”

Ijiin Tadaro, Kawakami Hishiro, and Shinna Tadamoto all sweated together. The Oda family, the great demon king of Owari, is famous for its three-stage shooting technique with iron cannons, and the Oda family's gunnery troops are very powerful, and the opponent has gunners. They expected it, but there were as many as 2,000, which was very abnormal.

You must know that Owari is very far from Kyushu. The Oda family suddenly appeared here, and it was absolutely impossible for it to come out of the nest, and it was impossible to send the main force. It should only be a small army of the Oda family that came here, how can there be 2,000 soldiers in a small army? The Oda family is too terrifying.

All three began to sweat.

At this time, they also found a strange place, outside the military formation of the Oda army, there were some soldiers with fire guns scattered outside, and they were not formed into the military column.

"What does this mean?" Ijiin Tadaro couldn't help but ask Kawakami Hisaro: "Tell me, why didn't the enemy put these soldiers into the array?"

"I don't know!" said Kawakami.

Xinna Zhongyuan next to him snorted: "Putting the guns outside the military formation, it's too easy to be attacked, and the hand-to-hand combat ability of the guns is very poor." Watch me go and kill these stragglers!"

Shinna Tadagen was one of the best generals in the Shimazu family, nicknamed "Oni Musashi", and he was very brave when he was wounded several times. He asked his entourage to bring a war camel, and the man wearing a large gold leaf was wearing a foot carcass pill, wearing a purple robe and a thick star pocket, and a two-moon knife was inserted in his waist. Carrying a cross thunder fork gun, the blue light on his body lit up, and the two big blue characters of "Gun Attendant" shone brightly, a majestic general.

The Ijiin Tadaro and Kawakami Hisaro next to him also admired his demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh: "There is a Shinna Tadamoto-sama out of the battle. The Oda army will definitely be defeated!"

Before the two of them could sigh, they saw that in the stragglers outside the Oda army formation in the distance, one of the stragglers raised his fire gun and aimed at this side......

With a flash of blue light, the words "Riflemen" jumped into the air, followed by a "snap" of gunshots, and the majestic Lord Xinna Zhongyuan screamed "oops" and fell from the camel.

Ijiin Tadaro and Kawakami Hisahiro were taken aback, and quickly looked down, only to see Shinna Tadamoto lying on the ground, with a hole in the chest of the large gold leaf Nanban with a foot carcass pill on his body...... It seemed that the bullet had pierced his armor and into his chest. If you are shot in such a critical place, the consequences can be imagined, and the fierce general of the Shimazu Army, known as "Oni Musashi", has ascended to heaven and become a Buddha. ...,

Ijiin Tadaro was frightened: "Oh my God, the enemy army is so far away, why did you kill Lord Shinna Tadagen with one shot?"

Hisaro Kawakami also wiped his sweat: "This distance...... At least twice as far as our firecrackers......"

The two of them were sweating profusely, when they saw two more stragglers in the distance raise their firearms and aim at them. The two were so frightened that one Buddha was born, and the two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and hurriedly lay on the ground, only to hear two gunshots, and the top of their heads was cold, as if some wind was blowing from the top of their heads.

This time it was really terrifying for the two of them to fly out of the sky, as long as they lay down slowly for a moment, it was the fate of being beaten.

"The Oda Army is too deceitful! Rush me!" Ijiin Tadaro gave the order as he lay on the ground.

At the same time as he gave the order, the stragglers scattered around Iyun's army opened fire one after another, and these stragglers had the power to shoot freely, judging who to shoot, and Iyun allowed them to shoot whoever they wanted. As a result, these soldiers, without exception, chose the enemy who looked more awesome to attack.

In Fuso's army, who looks the most awesome?

The answer, of course, is samurai!

The most awesome thing is the shiny gold dressed Shinna Zhongyuan, who was the first to be killed by the stragglers. The target then turned to Tadaro Ijiin and Hisaro Kawakami, but the two reacted quickly and lay on the ground, making it difficult to aim. The rifle men then turned their attention to the mid-level and junior samurai.

In short, whoever wears a katana at his waist and who looks like a master will be killed first!

This round of free firing of the two hundred stragglers immediately made the Shimazu army fall into great luck, and dozens of banners in the military formation were shot and killed at once.

The so-called flag book is synonymous with the lower-ranking samurai. Any samurai with a stone height of less than 10,000 koku is called a flag, and even a samurai with only a hundred koku is also called a flag. If it is higher than 10,000 koku, it is a very great samurai, and it can be regarded as a daimyo.

In fact, the army of Fusang is completely different from the way the army of our country is formed, and the army of the country is all the army of the imperial court, and the general, or the captain, only has the right to command. But it was different in Fuso, where the army belonged to each small samurai.

When the daimyo needed to fight, he would ask all the samurai of his family for soldiers, and each samurai would bring his own flag book to the battlefield, and each flag book would bring the ashigaru he could bring out according to his stone height.

Let's put it another way: one day, when the king wanted to go to war, he said to his generals, "I'm going to war, and each of you will bring me some troops." So the generals went to the captains again and said, "I'm going to war, and each of you will bring me some soldiers, and then the captains will go and find miscellaneous soldiers, so that they will form an army."

The most important link in this chain of relationships is not the king, but the captains or generals below, and if these people are loyal to the king, it is easy to do. If they don't listen to the king, then ...... So in the place of Fuso, it is easy for the king to be overthrown...... This is also the reason why during the Warring States period, the emperor did not have any power at all.

The riflemen fired in one round and knocked down dozens of flagbooks, and then the Shimazu army immediately became chaotic; why? These flags were actually the soul of the army, and each of them brought dozens or hundreds of soldiers, and as soon as they fell, the soldiers they brought with them completely lost their fighting spirit.

The top boss is hanging, who will contribute to the boss's boss?

"Coax!"

The Shimazu army was half dispersed at once.

Yi Yun, who was standing on the opposite side watching the battle, immediately laughed: "Yo, you see that the Fusang Army is so interesting, a few captains died, and the whole army collapsed...... If a few captains of our army died, it would be fine at all, as long as the general was still alive, it wouldn't be like this. ”...,

Yi Yun complained and complained, and half of the Fuso army was finally left, and the troops directly under Ijiin Tadaro and Kawakami Hisaro remained on the battlefield and did not disperse, but their number was not much, only the core of the five hundred guns, and some spearmen have not dispersed, the number is just over a thousand, this thousand people seem a little invisible, pitiful.

Immediately after, Yi Yun's fire gun force of as many as 2,000 people pressed up!

"Smash the enemy to smithereens!"

"Fire!"

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Iyun's army had encountered an enemy on land. In the past, he exterminated the Japanese in the Great Meng Country, he had never encountered the firecrackers, and fought against the Dutch on the sea, mainly using cannons, and the firecrackers did not use much hands, this was the first hard battle between firecrackers and firecrackers.

The gunners on both sides squatted on the ground very experienced, minimizing the area of their bodies to be bombed, and then fired fiercely at the opposite side, the same weapons, the same troops, in this way, the side with more people obviously had an advantage, Yiyun had as many as two thousand firearms on his side, once the fire was fired, the bullets like rain suddenly covered the entire battlefield.

"Bullet Shower!"

Dense bullets swept past one by one, hitting the Shimazu soldiers on their backs. Their meagre 500 gunmen could not assemble a rain of bullets and bullets, and they suffered a very big loss when they were bombarded, and they were soon bombarded so that they could not find the north.

Soon the ground was covered with corpses, and the Shimazu Army's gunners used these corpses as cover to hide themselves behind the corpses and desperately fire back. This time it was quite troublesome, and they actually found cover on the flat ground.

Yi Yun snorted twice and said, "At this time, send out the grenadiers!"

With a wave of the flag, a group of domestic slaves with the word "grenadiers" on their heads rushed to the front, and under the cover of the firecrackers on the side, they rolled on the ground and crawled forward, trying to avoid being hit by the enemy's firearms, and rushed towards the enemy's position.
