Chapter 1011: Smash!
The red armor is like the wind, and as soon as the Red Reserve Army goes into battle, it is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and it is quite strong, and it once gave the chaotic Shogunate Army a shot in the arm!
There were arrogant cavalry of the Red Reserve Army, which rushed within fifty paces of the Ming army's formation, or even closer.
The cavalryman of the Red Reserve Army proudly pulled his bow and arrows until the full moon, wanting to make a first shot.
However, his fate was miserable, and several bullets came out of nowhere and knocked him over.
The confident red armor on his body was directly shot by a bullet with several finger-thick bullet holes, and even the war horse under him was shot miserably and fell down.
In front of the Tianwu Army, the commander of the battle array pointed his sword forward, used all his strength to feed, and shouted hoarsely: "Shoot!" ”
A deafening volley of muskets rang out, and thousands of people in the front row of the Tianwu Army opened fire together, a row of scorching fires flashed from the front of the formation, and dense smoke rose at the same time.
With the loud sound of the salvo, the Red Reserve Army that rushed in front immediately fell to pieces, even if they deliberately dispersed, they could not withstand the fire of the Tianwu Army, and at least dozens of cavalry were knocked to the ground in a wave.
As cannon fodder, Ashigaru was even swept away, and a cloud of blood mist appeared from his body, and he rolled to the ground with a terrible shout.
Most of the Tianwu army still used Heding rifles, and the bullets were made of lead, and they were fired at high speed and entered the body, which immediately smashed all the internal organs of the Japanese, and even if Amaterasu came, it was difficult to treat.
As for the cavalry of the Red Reserve Army in red heavy armor, they rushed to the front, not to mention, the so-called heavy armor was completely useless in front of the Heding rifle, it was like paper paste.
The Red Reserve Army in the back, how could they have thought that the front had encountered such bad luck, they slammed up one by one, and as a result, they all suffered the merciless blow of the Tianwu Army's muskets, and their bodies rolled to the ground.
The breech gun is no joke, and its perverted reloading speed is not matched by human horsepower.
From time to time, the cavalry of the Red Reserve Army who charged into battle were shot to the ground, and their gorgeous armor was a joke to the Tianwu Army!
In the Ming army, dozens of daimyo who came to observe were all shocked.
The Red Reserve Army, which was crisscrossing Japan, was abused into a puddle of shit by the infantry of the Ming army in a short period of time!
Such an ending is difficult for them to dream of.
The combat power of the Ming army is terrifying!
After a fierce confrontation, Naotaka Ii's plans all fell through, and the few Red Reserve troops were in a state of being beaten for a while, but he couldn't stop it, because it was too late!
Just these few pieces of material for the Red Reserve Army are not enough for the Tianwu Army to stuff their teeth!
Jing Yi Naoxiao is dripping blood in his heart, the family background left by his father, plus the elite teacher he has worked hard for half a lifetime, is it all lost in the blink of an eye?
However, the sacrifice of the Red Reserve Army was still valuable, and they at least bought time for the shogunate army to counterattack.
The shogunate army, which had been ruined by the light artillery battalion, was finally organized again, taking advantage of the sacrifice of the Red Army.
The vast expanse outside Hikone Castle was covered by armour, and two highly organized crowds marched in the opposite direction under the guidance of their respective military flags, and the Tenmu Army used its range advantage to continuously attack the shogunate formation.
Bamboo bundles were layered, spears were stacked, and the shogunate army had advanced within seventy paces, and suddenly the sound of orders in the formation was layered, and the black barrels of guns poked out from the mouths of those bamboo bundles.
There are holes in the bamboo bundles, and regardless of whether they shoot arrows or guns, the soldiers of the shogunate army hide behind the bamboo bundles and launch a counterattack.
However, seeing that the powerful Red Reserve Army was beaten into a dead dog by the Ming army, as the distance between the two sides approached, and the bamboo bundles of the shogunate army rushing in front were pierced, and they died tragically under the muskets of the Ming army one by one, many shogunate soldiers began to hesitate and slow down the pace of advancement.
In their eyes, the power of the Ming army's musket was too strong, and their own bamboo bundles seemed to be useless, and the only useful thing might be psychological comfort......
Naodaka Ii was furious in the back, and he knew that he was shocked by the other party when he was about to fight, which was a sign of defeat!
Therefore, he snatched the matter of ordering the flag officer to eat next to him, personally held the flag, and shouted: "Samurai, for the sake of the emperor, for the sake of the general, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
The first to respond were the retainers around him, all of whom brandished katanas and charged along with the flag.
The head of the family went into battle in person, and the shogunate army suddenly became invigorated, and the three-way army marched together, gritting his teeth and shouting and charging with it, and quickly advancing with the bamboo bundle to encircle the Ming army.
Because in the shogunate army, the rate of firearms equipment is less than half of them, and most of them are armed with cold weapons such as spears, broadswords, bows and arrows.
They could only rely on the tactics of crowds to annihilate the Ming army and achieve a quick victory.
From the bottom of their hearts, the Japanese despise firearms, and in their eyes, firearms are more troublesome than bows and arrows, and they play a role not as much as bows and arrows in field battles.
Those Japanese archers squatted with broad feet, stretched out their bamboo bows, which were taller than their people, until the full moon, and then released the bowstrings.
The whistling sound of the arrows went violently, and the weight of the arrows was three or four taels, and with the force of the rapid shot, the sharp arrows could penetrate the heavy column.
In the collapse of the bowstring, from time to time, the soldiers of the Tianwu Army were shot to the ground, most of them were dressed in light armor, how could they stop this very sharp sun bow at close range?
The screams of both sides rang out at the same time, and the array of the Tianwu army remained unmoved, and the sergeants all showed resoluteness and continued to obey the order to fire volleys as usual.
Even if the officer who gave the order was shot to death, an adjutant would immediately step up, pick up the flag and continue to command.
"Launch!"
"Launch! Kill them! ”
In the volley of muskets, hundreds of more shogunate soldiers were knocked to the ground.
Less than fifty paces away, no matter what defense they hold in their hands, it is meaningless.
In the middle of the shogunate, Matsudaira Yoritsu, the lord of the Takamatsu Domain, wore a cherry-colored armor, a ghost-faced lion's pocket (helmet), a heavy shield in one hand, and a long-handled tiger tooth knife in the other.
This set of outfits is the exclusive suit of the famous Warring States general Takeda Shingen, invincible in battle, Matsudaira Yoritsu often believes in this, and thinks that wearing this outfit is invulnerable.
However, he didn't seem to be suitable for this outfit, and when he rushed, Matsudaira Yoshitsune felt that his tiger body was shocked and he felt unwell.
He looked closely, and several huge blood holes appeared in his chest......
Matsudaira Yoshitsune's eyes widened with incredulity, and then his body collapsed and began to convulse.
Beside him, several guards were also shot to the ground, lying on the ground and screaming miserably, and the parts where they were hit were all broken into a huge blood hole.
The deafening gunfire of the Ming army continued, and in the midst of the screams, the shogunate soldiers who rushed up intensively seemed to go to the Yama Hall to grab tickets.
The gushing blood of the Japanese army soaked this dry yellow earth, and a disgusting smell of blood emanated from the wind.
On the high ground of the Ming Army, Xu Qingshan and dozens of daimyo who observed could clearly see that in the several musket arrays of the Tianwu Army, puffs of white smoke rose from time to time, and the gunshots like bursting beans rang out for a while, and they saw that the shogunate army was like a rice field swept by a typhoon, collapsing one after another.
Maori Outline was shocked when he saw it, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Da Ming is mighty!" How did the Shogunate's frogs at the bottom of the well shake the Heavenly Army's array! ”
The rest of the daimyo also laughed and coped: "The heavenly army is powerful, and the corpses of the anti-thieves are all over the field!" Hurry! ”
"The ignorant Jingyi old thief dares to fight with the heavenly army in the field, it is simply beyond his strength!"
......
Xu Qingshan was silent, still paying attention to the battle situation, and did not dare to be careless.
In fact, by now, there was no suspense in this war, because there was a large-scale riot in the front line of the shogunate army.
In the continuous gunfire of the Tianwu Army, the chaos of the shogunate army intensified, and even Naotaka Ii, who was charging with the flag, had already turned around and ran away.
This Japanese veteran and famous general, his confidence was completely shattered by the Tianwu Army!
It is commendable that he did not forget to carry the flag away when he ran.
After all, a famous general is a famous general, and his actions are really extraordinary, Xu Qingshan deeply admires him!
