Chapter Seventy-Four: Heavy Reward
The name Hyakumaki Kenkan is like Arima Harumi, both of which are title parties.
He didn't break the mandarin duck formation with an inch of soldiers, and he was stabbed all over his body by a piece of armor covered by a big bamboo, but he did have good bravery, which made him a lucky one.
After all, it is much better than those who carry naginata knives and too knives to attack the mandarin duck array, and Bai Wuxian is much luckier, and in the short-handed encounter, those people died the worst.
The exchange seemed to break out in an instant, and within a few breaths, a row of Japanese soldiers fell in front of the mandarin duck array, wolves, boring handles, spears, and short knives, and there was always one who could overturn them.
Lying on the ground, these people may not all be dead, many of them are only cut by wolves, and without large armor or adequate protection, they will leave inch-deep scars on their bodies at the beginning of contact, and a little bad luck can cut a few tendons.
After all, there are a few who can dodge both the wolf and their own guns after the engagement, and most of them are rolling and squeaking in front of the battle.
It's not that they want to shout so undecently, warriors have the dignity of warriors and men have the spirit of men...... It just hurts.
In the formation of several hundreds of households, looking around the left and right almost after the first exchange of troops, they did not reduce their personnel at all, at this time the lack of command ability of the lower-level generals was reflected, they were originally only the chief flag officers of the Nanyang Banner Army, they did not have the talent to lead the army alone, and they all forgot to order to advance.
The five thousands of households have a front and a back, which makes the originally unbreakable position vacant, but no one can catch this fleeting fighter.
The general Bai Wuxian is still rolling on the ground because of the pain, and the pain is even more because of the rolling on the ground, where can he take care of them?
Not to mention the lower-level samurai, these people rushed the hardest just now, and now the damned ones are almost dead, and the ones with thick armor who are not dead are now in the most pain, and everyone has palpitations when they see the black big wolf, where do they dare to rush again.
There were a few knowledgeable ashigaru shouting about the gap in the enemy army, but they didn't have the appeal, and when the samurai lords found out, the hundreds of households in each department also found out what the problem was, and the battle formation was closed.
While the enemy was afraid, the Gunner and the Killer stepped forward together, and the Killer cut the head, and the Bird Gunner raised the spear above his head at the top of his head, and released the spear at the last dignity of the samurai within ten pacesβat this distance, their Gunnery was obviously very close to the Dragon and Tiger Xuantan True Monarch.
The vanguard of each formation slammed into a bang, directly breaking through the bushido barrier, and Bai Wuxian looked left and right at the defeat of the one hundred and ten remnants of the defeated generals around him, shouting to withdraw and rushing towards Kusano Castle in a strange running posture, and let the Ashigaru team who came to reinforce behind hurry back as he ran.
The weird posture is mainly in the hands, and it is not appropriate to cover too many wounds anywhere.
The dragon flag fluttered in the fields of Hirado Island, and Chen Bazhi did not even open artillery to bombard the enemy troops who were expected to outflank the two flanks, when he saw the hundreds of households of the front army shouting like a tsunami, so angry that smoke rose above his head, and he angrily ordered the artillery to fire cannons, and waved the command flag for the flag army to rescue.
The war of the large army is over, but there are still hundreds of households next to his mother who are in a bitter battle, so no one cares?
In the roaring artillery fire, several hundred households retreated and looked at the commander's banner, only to find that on their right flank hundred, no, it was no longer a hundred households, and the four mandarin duck formations of less than ten people were defeated under the attack of dozens of enemy ashigaru and hundreds of archers, and they were already retreating a few hundred steps away from them, so that the Japanese sergeants who killed the rise did not see the fact that their general had retreated.
There was no suspense, the field on the left wing and the banner army killed in the forest on the right wing reached outflanking, the bird gun team released guns from both sides of the enemy's belly and back, and dozens of mandarin duck formations came to kill, and reached an encirclement like a withering and decaying, and won the battle cleanly.
Seeing that the enemy army was retreating, Chen Bazhi ignored the pursuit repeatedly proposed by the hundreds of households who had tasted a great victory for the first time, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to rest on the spot, and the artillery gathered together to find a high point to build an artillery position, and several heads went.
Matsuura Takanobu in Kusano Castle was not a fool, he saw the one-sided battle in the field clearly, Nabeshima Naoshige ordered his subordinates to protrude from the city to the west to reinforce less than half, and the people behind were entangled by the Matsuura family samurai who pursued him.
Especially after the defeat of the Ashigaru Brigade by the Banner Army, the Matsuura family even sent a group of mounted samurai to dismount with iron cannons and shoot out a burst of swords and leaping horses, and the Japanese team in the city with bird guns, arquebuses, or short soldiers and bows also regained their fierce nature, and even the humble belly was rare, but they were able to wield a sword to chase and slash those Ryuzoji samurai, and defeated all the troops led by Nabeshima Naoshige.
Of course, although they cut lively, after all, one chased and one fled, and the capture in half an hour was not as good as Chen Bazhi's banner army.
Chen Bazhi was obviously not as happy as his subordinates Baihu, and the meritorious officer under his command reported the death in battle, and did not take the pursuit of the north seven or eight miles away as a matter at all, and the ten departments and hundreds of households were called together for a reprimand.
"Not to mention the three hundred households in the forest and the hundred households of the artillery team, you have six hundred households, a total of three people have been killed in five hundred households, and fifty-five people have been killed in one hundred households!" Chen Bazhi patted the shoulder of the hundred households who were rescued and came back with a disgraced face, and said to the other five: "From the beginning of the war, they can attack and defend each other, and his banner army is afraid of being bombarded, what about you?" β
"The cannon can only kill and wound more than ten people, and the rest of the blame lies with you, you didn't lead the troops to keep up with your comrades, so you were intercepted; After the battle, the enemy was outnumbered, and the flag army was wounded and could not be protected, and the wounded soldiers were left to be slaughtered by the flag army. β
After Chen Bazhi trained the others and trained the hundred households with the greatest casualties, he knew that this was already a very good result, but he didn't want to praise his subordinates, so he scolded first and then said in a soothing tone: "In the war, all the military methods should be done; The first-level merit is three hundred and seventy, and the merit officer has already divided the merit according to the small banner, don't expect to be like the Qi family's army, with a first-level thirty taels. β
"There are only a few real Japanese in the southeast of the Japanese Invaders, and now there are real Japanese people everywhere, and there will be wars in the future, a head is five taels, no casualties, and there are self-reward deductions for the death of the dead, and each small flag is distributed according to the military law, and the merit is temporarily credited, and the silver will be transferred from Luzon after some time."
"There are battles in the back, the armor of each banner army, chain mail, double-sided cuirass, iron hat, waist knife handcuff, strong bow and poisonous crossbow, in a few days Ryukyu will send the price list, if you want to change the armament of the flag army under your command, the price list will be deducted from the reward, the armor is good, and you can kill more enemies when you go into battle, kill more enemies, and only then can you add more silver to the knighthood."
"This battle was fought reluctantly, and in the future, half a hundred households will be killed in battle, and they will be demoted to the general flag. Hirado will set up a health office in the future, and there will be no shortage of official positions; You go back and think about it, the gains and losses of this battle, within three days of small flags or more, each person writes a war report, and after two nights of tomorrow, he will not sing a triumphant song, and the flag officer and flag army will communicate for half an hour. β
"It's all gone, wait for the princes of Hirado to send someone."
Everyone dispersed, Chen Bazhicai crossed his arms and looked at the distant mountains, his father did not give him the right to transfer silver taels, except for serious military salaries, there was no reward for military exploits, but as long as there was a reason, he could allocate armaments.
So he had to encourage the banner army to fight for all the rewards in exchange for armaments, a trick he had been thinking about for a long time.
In the field near Kusano Castle on Hirado Island, the young Ming general learned the posture of his father-in-law to sharpen his beard, but in fact, he only touched his smooth chin and muttered to himself.
"When their armaments are all replaced, the master should have a mine in his hands, right?"
