Chapter 532: A Pig-like Comrade-in-Arms
Just as all the wealthy clans of Feihou withdrew one after another, Jia Fei was still encouraging the soldiers around him to rush towards the Luo family's military formation.
With the efforts of Jia Fei himself, there were really many soldiers who were hot-headed, shouting like warriors, and rushed towards the Luo family's military formation. Led by these warriors, there were also quite a few soldiers who followed closely behind. Many of these are the Kai family's own military forces.
It's just that under the continuous iron cannon blows of the Luo family, the Ashigaru soldiers who rushed to the front of the Higo coalition army were constantly knocked down by the iron cannons, and several brave samurai who took the lead in the charge were killed by the iron cannons of the Luo family army at close range. These guys were transformed from warriors to dead corpses in an instant.
After each round of gunfire, several ashigaru fell, and whenever Ashigaru of the Higo coalition army saw the muzzle of the black hole in front of him, when he aimed at himself, his legs were weak.
"How is it possible, could it be that the Luo family's army is equipped with an iron artillery team of several hundred people? Otherwise, why can't they stop shooting? Tian Bei Jiansheng, who was in the middle of the formation in the distance, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw such a scene, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't help but think. Such thoughts also flashed through the minds of each of the charging Higo coalition warriors.
A bloody scene, the strength of the Higo coalition army is often in the process of charging, suddenly the whole body suddenly, stop moving, and then lean to the side, so that a life is gone. They haven't even slashed at the enemy who killed them.
Although many of them are noble, plain and outstanding in martial arts, what if they can be a famous samurai who can block ten with one. The opponent's Ashigaru only needed one shot to kill him.
The army of the Warring States period. In general. With 10 percent casualties, morale drops wildly, and the whole army is on the verge of collapse. Moreover, when generally rushing into battle, the leaders are the bravest and most elite soldiers in the army, and once these people are defeated, the morale of the whole army plummets.
What's more, at this critical moment, those wealthy families who had vowed before the war to break Luo's Zhengliang into pieces and fatten up thousands of pieces suddenly chose to withdraw from the army. This became the last straw that overwhelmed the will of the Fat Relief Coalition to resist.
Thereupon. Soon. The soldiers who were still resisting finally followed Mitai Youwu and the Higo wealthy clans and began to turn around, frantically fleeing from the front line of the charge, with the first, there was the second, the third, in an instant, a dozen, more than twenty...... A great rout began.
It was a complete rout, followed by the roar of iron cannons that were still firing from the Luo family's army. The slower Higo coalition army was ashigaru, and more than a dozen people died on the way to escape under the fire of bows and arrows and iron cannons.
"Impossible? How is this possible? "Tian Bei Jiansheng in the main formation saw the Feihou Hao clan on the left and right flanks, and as soon as he came into contact with the Luo family's army, he began to withdraw as if he had seen a ghost. This made Tian Bei Jiansheng unbelievable. In an instant, he even had the urge to immediately raise his knife and rush over to cut down these fat queen wealthy clans. There is also the deputy general Mitai Utakeshi who led the retreat of the Ito family's reinforcements. Tian Bei Jiansheng wanted to slash him a hundred times and a hundred times. I'm really not afraid of enemies like wolves, but I'm afraid of comrades like pigs.
Originally, he was still full of ambition to prepare for a hearty battle with Luo Zhengliang, but before he could appear, the coalition began to rout. The theater is completely devoid of him as a protagonist. With the defeat of the two flanks of the Higo coalition and the front of the Chinese army, the Otomo coalition army, which was the rear of the Chinese army, also began to loosen.
"Withdraw!" Although he usually behaves recklessly at times, Tian Bei Jiansheng is not a mediocre general. After seeing the current scene on the battlefield, he also knew that the Dao was weak, and if he was a little sluggish, it would even cause greater casualties, so he immediately decided.
And in the Luo family's big array opposite, the military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke, who had thoroughly seen the so-called power of the Western military formation that Masato had been making for the first time, said to Masato convincingly: "Does the lord want to let the spear be chased?" ”
Masara shook his head, pointed at the Kafei and the others who were still stubbornly resisting on the battlefield with his horsewhip, and said, "The herald orders the Chinese army to annihilate the forces here first, and as for the generals there, they must be captured alive for me." The left and right flanks, as well as the cavalry team, pursued the rout in front with all their might. ”
After Masayo finished speaking, all the heralds behind him immediately went down to inform the generals. Masarashi was still riding on his warhorse and silently watching the battlefield ahead.
Today's battle can be described as far-reaching. Just imagine, in the central pike phalanx, the men and horses on both wings have not yet been dispatched, and only rely on iron cannons and bows and arrows to repel the enemy's offensive with the same number of attacks. With such a powerful force, it seems that victory on the battlefield can be achieved only by relying on iron cannons and bows and arrows.
The direct effect of this is that many retainers of the Luo family who were secretly skeptical of the new tactics advocated by Zhengliang completely shut their mouths, and even became loyal supporters of this tactics in an instant.
In addition to causing a lot of impact on the Luo family, it is believed that with the spread of these fattened defeated troops, it will soon spread throughout Kyushu and even the entire Wa Kingdom. It will bring a lot of war thinking to many daimyos. It also indirectly promoted the spread and rise of iron cannons in the Japanese country. And before the iron cannon is completely localized, it is believed that the business of the Luo family's fire system will soon flourish.
Compared to Masarashi sitting on a horse and directing the country, at this moment, the young master of the Omiya family, General Asu, was so frightened that he didn't even notice that the military equipment in his hand fell under the horse unconsciously.
In the past, he had also followed his generals to participate in the suppression of peasant rebellions in the territory, which was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. This was the first time he had participated in such a large-scale joint battle of thousands of people, and he finally realized the horror of such a battle. Even he already had the idea that he would never want to participate in such a battle again, and he preferred to go home and live the life of having food every day and being able to flirt with maids.
Thinking about it, he even forgot the chasing soldiers of the Luo family behind him, as if he had returned to the days of home. As for the life and death of Jia Fei, who is the pillar of the family, he has long been thrown out of the clouds.
And it's the same as Aso Weijiang. The surrounding Feihou coalition forces and the generals of the Hao clan all had stunned expressions. Especially the horseback warriors of the Feihou Coalition who were laughing at the Luo family's military formation, they all wanted to slap themselves in the face at this moment. Everyone couldn't help but think, what kind of tactic is that tactic? It's simply unseen and unheard of. In their lifetimes, they would never want to meet such an opponent again.
