Text Chapter 694: Attacked from all sides

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu saw all the actions of the crusade army.

    At this time, the expeditionary army, the Tajima Corps and the Danbo Corps were separated and re-arranged in two places.

    Zhao Hongyu immediately realized that the enemy was going to attack him from two directions, and such an attack method would definitely make it impossible to bring out some of his advantages.

    The soldiers under Zhao Hongyu are very brave and their weapons are also very sharp.

    However, this also has disadvantages.

    The tactic of queuing to kill requires facing the enemy from the front and shooting, and it also requires the enemy to attack from the front.

    One of the requirements of this mainstream tactic that became popular more than a hundred years later is that both hostile parties must abide by such rules.

    The reason why such tactics are popular in Europe is also related to the bullshit chivalry that Europeans admire. They must maintain such rules even on the battlefield.

    When the two armies attack face to face, no one can cheat.

    Therefore, there is a market for such tactics.

    But not in the East.

    You must know that wars in the East have always used all possible means, and all kinds of schemes and deceitfulness emerge in endlessly.

    What is required is to be unconstrained and eclectic.

    ¡°No one cares about this bullshit chivalry.

    So, this is what the Japanese are like now. They have made their own response to Zhao Hongyu's sharp battle formations and weapons.

    This is understandable.

    Now, it depends on how Zhao Hongyu responds.

    "The Japanese have become smarter. They seem to have seen through my weaknesses." Zhao Hongyu smiled.  "However, if they think that they have found a way to defeat me, they are a bit crazy."

    Although the division of the expeditionary army seemed to cause trouble to Zhao Hongyu, he did not worry too much about it.

    "Sir, the barrel of the gun has cooled down and can fire nine rounds of bombardment!"

    A European coated cavalryman galloped behind Zhao Hongyu and reported the artillery news.

    When Zhao Hongyu heard this, the smile on his face became thicker.

    "Tell the artillerymen, the target is due north, shelling! Change to shotguns!"

    The coated cavalry responded to the order and left.

    "Grandma, do you think my artillery can't shoot that far? This time I will let you open your eyes and taste what real artillery attack is!"

    "Your Highness, what is the enemy's purpose for doing this? They seem to be a little irrational in dividing their troops, right?"

    " Tokugawa Kayo, who was beside Zhao Hongyu, was still a little younger after all. She couldn't understand the arrangement of the crusade army.

    "No, they did this specifically for us. I guess the other party took into account the power of our artillery, so they made such an arrangement in order to reduce casualties. It shows that their commander is a very smart guy."

    Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu explained to Tokugawa Kayo about the artillery's bulkiness and inconvenience to move, and only then did Tokugawa Kayo understand something.

    "Your Highness, do you have any response to this? Our troops are too small and we probably cannot cope with simultaneous attacks from two fronts."

    After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Tokugawa Kayo immediately had a worried look on his face.

    At this time, Zhao Hongyu picked up the monocular telescope and began to look at the formations in the opposite directions.

    He saw from the Tajima Army Formation and the Single Wave Army Formation that the enemy's originally dense formation began to disperse.

    At the same time, some cavalry units began to rush out from behind the infantry formation on the flanks.

    Seeing this, Zhao Hongyu almost understood the other party¡¯s plan.

    "Attack horses from two directions? No, we may have to face simultaneous attacks from four directions."

    Putting down the telescope in his hand, Zhao Hongyu said something that made Tokugawa Kayo's face turn pale.

    What, we have to face attacks from four directions, how can we possibly cope with it?

    The little girl couldn¡¯t help but not worry, because she had never seen such a weak military force facing attacks from four directions.

    However, when Tokugawa Kayo saw Zhao Hongyu's expression, he still looked like the old god was there, as if he wasn't worried at all.

    ¡°Is His Highness crazy?

    He¡¯s not worried at all?

    Zhao Hongyu turned his head, looked at Tokugawa Kayo and then smiled at her.

    Seeing Zhao Hongyu smiling at him, DeKawakawa Kayo felt a little resentful.

    ¡°Oh my God, this is the situation. Are you really not worried?¡±

    I¡¯m almost worried to death now.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if you are conceited or if you are confident that you can withstand the attack of the crusade.

    However, with our military strength at such a disadvantage, it is obvious that we cannot fight against the expeditionary army.

    Tokugawa Kayo complained in his heart.

    In the end, she couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness, are you not worried at all?"

    Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu shrugged and made a helpless face.

    "Worrying, can worrying solve the problem?"

    Tokugawa Kayo rolled her eyes, and she began to wonder if this His Highness was an idiot.

    Even now, he is still in the mood to joke with himself.

    Zhao Hongyu put away his playful smile and suddenly became serious.

    "Jiayo, facing the enemy's arrangements, of course we will be in trouble. But I am confident that we can defeat them. I can promise you this. Since you have surrendered to me, I will always show off my skills and let you see me.  It is powerful to prove that your vision is correct."

    Tokugawa Kayo fell silent.

    She didn¡¯t know where Zhao Hongyu got this confidence.

    Our own forces are obviously at a disadvantage, and it is very unrealistic to face attacks from four directions.

    Although the crusade army suffered two charges and suffered heavy losses after being repelled by our own side, the losses were not so severe that the opponent was injured.

    It can be said that the crusade army still has a strength advantage.

    Now that the opponent has rearranged their battle formations against themselves, if they launch an attack, how will the enemies in the four directions deal with it?

    Should we divide our forces to deal with it?

    But in this way, the already weak military strength will become even smaller.

    Tokugawa Kayo really couldn¡¯t figure it out.

    ¡° I just saw the confident look on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face, as if he really had something to do.

    "Mysterious, what are you doing?"

    Although Chizuru Hattori was also curious, she didn¡¯t ask so many questions.

    She also saw the confidence on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face. Although she didn¡¯t understand where this confidence came from, Hattori Chizuru felt that she should trust this His Highness who was easy to get along with.

    This feeling is quite unreasonable.

    Boom!

    The artillery from the rear began shelling.

    ??The shells were fired one after another and fell into the crowd of infantry of the Shanbo Army in front.

    Although they had dispersed the soldiers, their casualties were still very high under the powerful and wide-covering shotguns.

    The round iron cannonballs, after being fired into the sky above the single wave of infantry formations, began to explode and shatter and shoot downwards.

    The smallest coverage range is more than fifty meters.

    With such a killing range, one can imagine how much damage it will cause.

    The Japanese have not yet begun to charge, but they have already been fired by artillery, their morale has been greatly reduced, and at the same time, their personnel have begun to suffer huge casualties.

    Zhao Hongyu raised his hand again and placed the telescope on his left eye frame.

    In the telescope, in the infantry formation of the Single Wave Corps on the opposite side, the soldiers fell in pieces.

    Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with the power of the shotgun.

    When shelling the infantry of the Shanbo Corps, the cavalry under his command had already arrived to the northwest and began to form a team.

    The cavalry quickly organized their queues and began to urge the horses to run slowly. This was obviously the prelude to the charge.

    The telescope turned, and Zhao Hongyu looked to the northeast and east again.

    The Tajima infantry under the command of Ishida Aido also began to move slowly and press forward.

    The cavalry came out from its flank and arrived at the east side. At this time, the prelude to the charge began.

    At this time, Zhao Hongyu was only bombarding in one direction?

    "I order!"

    "Yes, sir!"

    "Three hundred cavalry attack, target the cavalry in the northwest!"

    "yes!"

    The messenger rode away, and soon heard him shouting loudly.

    Subsequently, the coats in Europe shouted excitedly, "He went out and started to charge towards the single wave of cavalry in the northwest direction.

    With such an arrangement, Zhao Hongyu could barely deal with enemy attacks from two directions.

    Although the enemies heading due north suffered heavy shelling, their infantry phalanx still began to move slowly.

    They are moving against the artillery, or they are using themselves to attract the artillery attack.

    No matter what you say, Zhao Hongyu still has enemies from two directions that he has not dealt with.

    Now, under Zhao Hongyu, there are more than a hundred former pirates from Liu Dashen and Wang Fuzi, as well as 500 Imperial Guard genetics and more than 400 Osaka captive soldiers.

    "Let Master Wang hold down the formation behind the captured soldiers, and the Imperial Guards will advance with guns blazing, trying to defeat the enemies in the north and northwest in a short time."

    Zhao Hongyu quickly issued orders.

    Enemies from both directions are easy to deal with.

    Zhao Hongyu is very confident.

    But what about the infantry and cavalry in the northeast and east?

    Zhao Hongyu now only has more than a hundred former pirates from Master Wang and Osaka captured soldiers.

    And the reason why Master Wang and the others were allowed to line up behind the captured soldiers in Osaka was to let them look at the captured soldiers.

    As a result, Zhao Hongyu had no troops left to send out.

    "You can't trust the captured soldiers in Osaka too much. After all, the loyalty of these guys is not very good."

    In order to prevent these Osaka captive soldiers from causing trouble when the battle situation is unfavorable, Zhao Hongyu must have someone watch them.

    ¡° Then, Mrs. Wang and the others will come in handy.

    ¡°Besides, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s confidence is not without reason.

    Because he still has a backup plan.

    No one saw it, but the gate of the temporary camp just a few hundred meters away suddenly opened.

    The dark cavalry rushed out from the gate (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
