Originally, the Shimazu family had more cavalry, but at the moment they were not here in Kagoshima, and the cavalry that Shimazu Yoshihisa could use was only more than a hundred horses. However, in his opinion, a frontal attack by an army was enough to defeat the opponent, and the use of these cavalry was just icing on the cake, but the fact quickly shocked him!

The commander of the cavalry also chose a fairly clear objective, which was two infantry phalanxes without pikes. His idea was very simple, the other party did not have a spear to restrain the cavalry, then they would be easily scattered! When the time comes, they will drive the rout to the middle sailors and pirates, and the whole battlefield will be a mess!

Some of these rebels will definitely flee to the sea, and others will definitely flee to the phalanx in front of them to seek refuge. When the time comes, let go of the people who fled to the sea, and drive the other routs to attack the opponent's phalanx, maybe the cavalry will take the lead in this battle! ap.

But the dream is very happy, and the reality is very skinny! Because the soldiers of the marines on both sides were also highly trained soldiers, except that they were sent to the ship. So they are first and foremost a marine, nothing more than belonging to the Navy.

They were already angry when they were lined up on both sides, but now they found that there were two groups of monkeys rushing over on donkeys, and naturally they refused to let go! The commanders of the two phalanxes unanimously ordered the soldiers in the front row to assume a posture of rejecting their horses, and then replenished the soldiers from the other three directions to the front, followed by a volley of firearms!

Compared to the infantry, the cavalry had a larger area and were more prone to bullets, so they were hit by lead bullets as soon as they reached 150 paces! If the number of cavalry is larger, they may be able to rush to the front of the formation, but their number is too small, the two teams together are only more than 100 people, and if they are separated, they are only 50 or 60 people per team!

Under the intensive blows of the firearms, these cavalrymen either threw the knight out of the horse with the wound of the horse, or the knight was shot and fell from the horse, and the two phalanxes used six and seven volleys respectively to sweep away the cavalry in front of them!

The nearest cavalry was also more than ten paces away from the phalanx! The cavalryman was thrown to the ground by his wounded horse, and as soon as he was dizzy enough to get up and prepare to charge, he was hit in the chest by four buckshot bullets and fell! So far, both teams of cavalry have been wiped out!

By the time the shooting stopped, there were only a few ownerless horses left wandering around the battlefield! The rest are either motionless dead bodies or dying wounded! The soldiers of the Marine Corps naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and the officer immediately sent a team of people to mend the knives of the dying cavalry one by one, and also captured all the war horses that could be captured, which was the first batch of trophies obtained by Liu Haojia after landing!

In this way, the two teams of cavalry even preceded the samurai regiment and the elite Ashigaru! Seeing that the cavalry of the Japanese people was wiped out, Liu Haojia finally put his mind at ease. He lifted his binoculars and looked ahead, and the result was even more satisfying!

The soldiers at the front line have already entered the suit and begun to play steadily. And he was even more satisfied with the performance of the officers! He saw through his binoculars an officer take a soldier out of the queue and kick and beat him to the baggage vehicle in the center of the phalanx to change the gun.

It seemed that the soldier was in his excitement and had no idea that there was a problem with his firearm, and was repeating the reloading and firing procedures until his officer found out. This shows that the grassroots officers of the Wu'an Army have enough ability to resist the pressure, and now they still have the spare energy to take care of whether the soldiers in the phalanx are good at using their guns, and it also shows that his officers are growing rapidly.

Liu Haojia is satisfied here, but Shimazu Yoshihisa is different! At this time, he didn't care about anything at all, he stood up directly, waved his military equipment and shouted, "Quickly order them to withdraw!" Order the troops behind to stop and hold their ground!"

It's no wonder that he's mad, because among any of the daimyos, the samurai and elite ashigaru are the backbone of an army! They have more dead and wounded, and the combat capability of the army will plummet!

However, I have to say that Shimazu Yoshihisa is still very experienced, and the loss of soldiers did not mess his mind. He smashed down with a barrage of supplementary orders!

First, he ordered the samurai and the elite Ashigaru to retreat, and then the second order was to stop the ashigaru behind them and order them to defend no matter what

Live! At the same time, he ordered the iron cannon Ashigaru and the archery team on both wings to move closer to the center. At the same time, he also ordered the first group of Ashigaru to regroup as the rear line of defense.

As his orders continued to be given, the sound of drums and trumpets did not stop, and the samurai beside him rode down to deliver orders under his orders. There was no solemn appearance under the horse seal.

Shimazu Yoshihisa did not panic and dealt with it moderately, but the current situation is completely different from just now! He also subconsciously felt that he succeeded in changing the formation in front of the other party last time, and he should succeed this time, but Liu Haojia didn't plan to give him another chance, but directly ordered all the phalanxes to press up!

After receiving the order, the four phalanxes in the front row were the first to start, followed by the five phalanxes in the back. Those spears raised high in the eyes of Shimazu Yoshihisa really looked like slowly moving forests, but it is unknown if he remembered the famous "Wind Forest Volcano" at this moment!

While advancing, none of the officers of the front lined up asked the soldiers in the front row to withdraw their bayonets, and the soldiers became scavengers for the entire phalanx. They walked in the forefront, and when they saw the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling and wailing, they directly mended him! Therefore, wherever the phalanx walked by, there was no sound at once! Even if there are wounded soldiers who struggle to escape, they can't be faster than the footsteps of the soldiers of the Wu'an Army, and after being caught up, they are also stabbed!

The phalanx continued to move slowly, and soon approached the Japanese ranks, and adjusting the formation was not something that could be done in a short time. Therefore, when the Wu'an army approached a hundred paces away from the Japanese people, their formation just had a rough appearance.

And Wu Anjun showed their exquisite skills here! In the process of their march, the phalanx was actually dismantled and turned into two horizontal formations. At either end of the line were still pikemen with spears held aloft, but in the middle the line of musketeers had become longer and thicker, with a full four rows of men!

As soon as he entered within 100 steps, Huang Guojun shouted, "Stand!"

Since he was the most central horizontal formation, when they stopped, the other six side-by-side phalanxes also stopped. As soon as the horizontal team stopped, Huang Guojun shouted loudly again, "Shoot!"
