I have to say that these Japanese soldiers are indeed very tenacious! It took a great deal of courage for them to march forward with the fiery fire! But as they advanced, the opponent's shooting became more and more accurate, the number of dead and wounded soldiers increased, and the fear that accumulated in their hearts became heavier and heavier!

It wasn't until they approached each other for more than sixty paces that a soldier with a face splattered with the blood of his companions screamed in fear, threw away the iron cannon in the car and fled! The samurai in command slashed him to the ground in time, but the damage was done!

The ashigaru beside him was infected by him, and they all turned around and fled, and the entire phalanx completely collapsed in an instant! The soldiers in the phalanx on both sides hesitated slightly, and they also began to turn around and flee, even if the samurai who pressed the formation slashed and killed a few people, they couldn't stop the flow of fleeing!

Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was sitting under Ma Yin, naturally saw this scene, and he already expected the appearance of this scene! The place where he was standing was relatively high, and he could clearly see his own soldiers falling to the ground under the blows of the opponent's firearms!

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Ashigaru would rush in front of the opponent and shoot at him. But he overestimated the courage of his own soldiers! However, he did not get angry in the face of the rout, but waved his military equipment and said loudly, "Order the others to withdraw and reorganize the attack!"

Standing aside, the equally pale-faced samurai immediately bowed when he heard his order, and turned to deliver the order. The Japanese soldiers, who then received the order, quickly retreated and regrouped.

And the soldiers of the Wu'an Army cheered loudly! They finally fought off a real enemy for the first time in their lives, which was enough to make them proud and more confident! But their cheers were soon interrupted by the officers, who demanded that they immediately check their guns to see if there was a problem.

In the center of the phalanx there was a military train loaded with a lot of guns and ammunition, which was used to deal with the situation. Although this flintlock pistol has been tested by history, there are still times when it is dumb fired. And many times it is caused by human operation.

After all, people are prone to mistakes and mistakes when they are nervous. For example, forgetting to fill the pot with gunpowder, or scattering gunpowder everywhere. Even reversed the order of gunpowder and buckshot! Some are even more outrageous, forgetting to pull out the pass after reloading, and knocking the pass flying when the gun is fired!

In addition, in the midst of intensive shooting, I don't know if my firearm has been fired, and as a result, it causes repeated reloads and other such things abound!

In the historical record, there was a soldier who, because he was too nervous during the battle, loaded the second bullet without knowing that the gun had not been fired, and then stacked it layer by layer, and the whole barrel was filled with 26 rounds of lead bullets, which can be called a genius!

Therefore, when the soldiers check the gun, there is one thing, that is, to re-poke the gun chamber with a stick, if the mark engraved on the gun is higher than the chamber, it means that there is lead bullet in the chamber of the gun has not been shot, and the gun must be replaced. After all, there's no time to repair guns on the battlefield.

As the soldiers checked their guns, someone began to discover the problem. Although no one has typed out their own strips this time, there is a reload of the case! There are also various problems such as flint falling off, ignition gear falling off, etc.

The person who had the problem blushed at the jokes of his companions and went to the back to change the firecracker, and what awaited them was the post-war training. Then those guns with quality problems will be held accountable by someone according to the number.

The soldiers quickly finished their work and returned to their respective places, this time full of confidence and without the nervousness they had just looked. There were also people who were eager to try and constantly stroke the three-edged bayonet at their waist, probably wanting to rush out and show off their stabbing skills!

At this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa on the opposite side sent people around him one after another to stabilize the retreating team. In fact, when the men he sent arrived, the whole army had gradually restored order. Because it was only the iron cannon at the front that really hit it, and there were not many casualties.

The real reason for their collapse is that the range of the opponent's firearm is too long, and this kind of feeling of being beaten and not being able to fight back is really uncomfortable! And it was the complete lack of psychological preparation that led to the collapse of the striker. And this time they had a psychological expectation

After that, it's harder to break them down.

Shimazu Yoshihisa has made a lot of adjustments this time! He directly said that the iron cannon Ashigaru of the sharp arrow was replaced by the spear Ashigaru. I want to take advantage of the high speed of the spear to get close to the opponent at the cost of a certain amount of casualties, and take advantage of the relatively long reload time of the opponent's firearms.

At the same time, he also placed the samurai regiment and the elite ashigaru behind the spear ashigaru. Needless to say, the samurai regiment is an ordinary samurai who are included in the Shimazu family, all of them are excellent in martial arts, and they are the backbone of the samurai class. This also includes some of the Samurai of Banner.

As for the identity of those elite ashigaru, it is much higher than that of other ashigaru. Although they still bear the name of Ashigaru, they are highly trained, and to put it bluntly, they are the reserve of samurai! As long as they make certain merits, it is possible to break away from Ashigaru and become samurai!

This is a class leap for those Ashigaru who were born as farmers! So these elite ashigaru trains hard and fights bravely, hoping that one day they can stand out! For example, Kato Kiyomasa, a more famous military general during the Warring States period, was born in Ashigaru.

Because the Japanese people are very particular about being the main general and not moving like a mountain, Shimazu Yoshihisa issued a series of orders, but he himself still sat in front of the screen. However, he still sent out many of the samurai around him after encouraging him.

Sending people to supervise the battle was a very harsh signal for the samurai who was originally fighting on the front line, but at this time, he couldn't care much more! Because at this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa already had a very bad premonition, that is, he would lose this time!

When he was observing the other party just now, he used the intuition of a veteran on the battlefield to find that the other soldier was a little impetuous! So he guessed that the other party might just be a group of highly trained, but inexperienced recruits! And in fact, he guessed correctly!

He is well aware that to deal with such a recruit army, it must be crushed at once! Because once they build up their confidence, combined with the rigorous training they already have, they will soon become a strong army! And he found that after repelling his own side's attack, the opponent's originally unstable morale has now begun to stabilize!
