Chapter 16 Eight Generations of Oral War II
Just when the reserve of the Shunan family was one hundred and seventy paces away from Kuroda's army, a shout suddenly came from Kuroda's side, "After the enemy enters the firing range, shoot in the second stage." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Bang Bang Bang" 100 firebolts rang out in unison, and the front of Kuroda's army was a great fire, although it was daytime, but it also made people's eyes feel a huge stimulus. The ensuing smoke filled the area of several meters in front of the firebolts, and the most profound impact on Hara Saburo was the loud sound made by the firebolts, he felt that this was the sound of the thunder, could it be that the Kuroda family was favored by the god Amaterasu and could attract the thunderbolts to fight, so how could their side win?
The 100 guns really only caused more than a dozen casualties in the front crowd, and several of them were only shot at critical points, and they fell to the ground groaning because of the pain, and in the eyes of the ordinary ashigaru and agricultural soldiers of the Tajima Coalition Army, it was like Kuroda's household magic, which could borrow heavenly thunder and kill people invisibly.
"The Kuroda family has gods and Buddhas to help", "This battle can't be fought", "I will definitely lose", "Mom! But after the first round of fire attacks by Kuroda's house, many of the Equestrian soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers, dropped their sickles, sticks, and hoes, and began to run backwards.
The Ming Kingdom Fire Gun soldiers of the Kuroda family looked at the chaos on the opposite side with expressionless faces, without a little fluctuation in their hearts, to deal with such a weak opponent, do they really need to dispatch fire guns? They didn't care about that, they just knew how to do what they were told, they stuffed the gunpowder in order, prepared to aim, and waited for the Equestrian coalition soldiers to come into range again.
"Bastard, you are not allowed to escape, you are not allowed to escape, rush forward, that's just an iron cannon, it's not a heavenly punishment, and the Kuroda family doesn't have any gods and Buddhas to help." Some knowledgeable samurai immediately recognized that the Kuroda family used iron cannons, and it is said that they could be sold for 100 kan in Kimachi, so why did the Kuroda family have so many?
Hearing the shouts of the samurai, Hara Saburo knew that it was not a heavenly punishment, but just a powerful weapon called an iron cannon! But both the momentum and the power are indeed chilling. So Hara Saburo immediately lowered the speed of his team's march, and asked the little wealthy clan to test the strength of the Kuroda family again!
The samurai and ashigaru began to drink to prevent the peasants from fleeing, and now if they don't stop it, it is likely that the 5,000 army will be defeated by the iron artillery garrison of the Kuroda family on the opposite side, which will be really a big game. But the peasants, who had already lost their hearts, did not listen to the shouts of these samurai and ashigaru, and still fled frantically backwards. In the end, after the samurai shouted several times, they couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the front, almost hitting the dozen or so of the Chinese army, and the peasants behind stopped their tracks.
"Those who retreat will not be spared"
The peasant soldiers could only rush forward with courage, but when they rushed within range of the Kuroda family's firearms, another round of firearms attacks followed, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground. The peasant soldiers remembered their comrades who had died before, and reflexively ran back, but what awaited them was the sharp blades of their own samurai and the spears of Ashigaru.
"Lord Otagaki, what's going on? Didn't you say that the Kuroda family only had a small number of iron cannons? Now this Kuroda family is not just a handful of iron cannons! Are you going to give us an explanation? Lord Otagaki. Knowing that the men and horses in front of him had suffered heavy casualties, Su Nan Qinfeng stood up very angrily and questioned Otagaki Teruyan. As the most famous wealthy family in the Danma National Pai, the Su Nan family still has some right to speak.
"Yes! If this continues, the family will also retreat in advance because of heavy losses. Tian Gong Shifeng, the head of the Tian family, also stood up and said, his family's reserve team followed the Su Nan family closely, and at this moment he was also worried that his family's men and horses would suffer great losses. To put it bluntly, he still came to take benefits, and if the price was too great, he would not come.
"At present, you have already begun to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Kuroda family in the front, and our Danma coalition army can only move forward with all its strength and crush the Kuroda family with the advantage of numbers, so that our side can have the final chance of victory." Teruyan Otagaki said loudly.
"Yes, my lords, the current situation must not be retreated, and victory can only be achieved by moving forward. If the Kuroda family defeats us and occupies Tajima Province, we won't end well. Please unite as one, for the sake of Tajima and for the continuation of your family, please. Gakiya continued, and then Ota Gaki Terunobu said. But in fact, in his heart, how to preserve his family's military strength as much as possible is what he thinks.
"Exactly, I think so in the next." Toyonobu Yagi also said, and at the same time glanced at the walled house, and he found that this old guy had the same idea as himself.
"Everyone, as long as this battle is won, I, the Otagaki family, am willing to give you the income of Issei Ichisei, so please be sure to move forward!" Otagaki Teruyan threw out a certain reward again to encourage the wealthy families to work hard.
"That's all there is to it." The wealthy clans below can only continue to accompany the Otagaki family against the Kuroda family.
After being killed a lot, the peasants of the coalition army could only numbly turn around, and ran to the Kuroda family's military formation with the consciousness of resignation and death, they were already unarmed, and they had no armor, if they could survive, they really had to go to the temple and recite Amitabha Buddha a few more times. However, the samurai and ashigaru on the Equestrian side were among the peasants, and as soon as the guns rang out, they blocked the peasants in front of them, and some of the peasants did the same, and even pushed each other and fought themselves.
After all, this battlefield is so big, and soon the Equestrian coalition army will be only fifty steps away from the Kuroda family. A loud sound of "free fire" appeared on the battlefield, and the Kuroda family's crossbow ashigaru turned out to be the Kuroda family's trump card troops! As a result, after the appearance of the firearm reserve, because of the effect of range and tactics, it quickly replaced the original position of crossbow ashigaru. To be honest, the crossbow ashigaru also knows the combat effectiveness of the fire gun team, but he will be a little unconvinced. Just looking at the power of the Fire Gun Team, although the crossbowmen envied these Ming people in their hearts, they were definitely holding back a breath in their hearts.
After Ashigaru shouted the order to shoot, Ashigaru quickly shot out the crossbow bolts in his hand, and two hundred crossbow arrows roared out, instantly knocking down the fifty or sixty coalition soldiers who rushed to the front. But this time, the coalition peasants, who knew that there were blades and spears behind them, no longer dared to turn back and run away, and could only rush forward desperately, even if it was meaningless, even if it would cost their lives.
"Bang Bang Bang" "Whoosh" When the coalition forces were only more than ten steps away from Kuroda's army, the firecrackers and crossbows completed the last shot, taking the lives of nearly 100 coalition troops. After that, according to the pre-requirements, the two reserves began to retreat from the flanks of the Chinese army to the main formation, and came to the rear of the Otani Moriji reserve to guard the front of the main formation.
