On the surface, the current situation on the battlefield is already very unfavorable to Zhao Hongyu's side.
The cavalry on both wings have begun to fight. The Gurkha cavalry under Zhao Hongyu was divided into two, facing Tajima and a single wave of cavalry, and was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.
However, relying on the natural bravery of the Gurkhas, they entangled the cavalry on both wings.
This time, the pressure on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s formation was greatly relieved.
Although the troubles on both wings have been resolved, the frontal front has become a bit shaky.
Because he ignored the archers of the crusade, Zhao Hongyu's front line was attacked by the opponent's archers.
The originally small number of troops was attacked by three waves of arrows, and half of them were lost in one fell swoop.
There were dozens of soldiers who died on the spot, most of them were captive soldiers, and a few were genetic soldiers.
Many people were basically shot through the body by arrows, and they were severely injured.
Of course, if the battle is over and these soldiers are treated, their chances of survival are still very high.
People with injured genes have never worried about this. Besides, they are all rigid and insensitive guys. They don¡¯t know what it feels like to die from injury.
So, of course they won¡¯t have any worries in this regard.
"However, the captured soldiers are different.
Considering the medical level of this era, the actual effects of those medicines, and the way the wounded soldiers were treated during Japanese battles, the captive soldiers were immediately in danger of collapse.
The reason is simple. Even if they are Zhao Hongyu's men, they can only wait to die after suffering such injuries.
What's more, they are not Zhao Hongyu's men, just his captured soldiers.
Could it be that these foreigners can still use those precious medicinal materials to treat them?
?Obviously, this is unlikely.
The best outcome for them is to wait to die in the wounded barracks.
¡°Actually, it¡¯s not surprising that these captive soldiers have such thoughts.
In this era, medical technology is actually not very developed.
¡°Furthermore, there are many doctors in the military, or even none at all.
Therefore, often after a battle, many wounded soldiers have no other way out but to wait for death.
Those who are lucky can survive.
But those who are seriously injured and cannot be effectively controlled will have no choice but to die.
Especially in this era, without effective anti-inflammatory drugs to control infected wounds, wounded soldiers would often die in pain.
This era is not like the later generations, there are still large numbers of medical soldiers, as well as various medicines and other preparations for them.
"Haha, the enemy is at a loss. If we work harder, we will be able to defeat them!"
The generals of the Crusade Army who directed the charge of the Ashigaru were very keen and immediately noticed that the opponent's front line was beginning to waver.
Therefore, he lost no time in raising the katana in his hand and shouted loudly.
The Ashigaru also discovered this situation, and in an instant, the power seemed to return to their bodies, making them more fierce.
We are about to win, just put in a little more effort, just a little bit.
Facing the impending victory, the soldiers of the Crusade Army became very excited.
Victory means they can gain military exploits, and military exploits will bring many benefits.
Driven by interests, the morale of the conquering army instantly rose to its peak.
At this time, the European coated slave cavalry also overwhelmed the archers.
They mobilized their horses and began to chase the archers.
Finally, the bows and arrows were contained, and there was no need to worry about this anymore.
However, the shaky front line is also worrying.
After all, if the frontal front is broken through, Zhao Hongyu's main formation will be defeated.
If this formation is defeated, then this battle will be lost.
The most important thing is that Zhao Hongyu's main formation is only guarded by more than a hundred people, and there is no way to withstand the impact of thousands of attacking troops.
Therefore, the current plan is to stabilize the frontal front and never let it be overwhelmed by the punitive army.
However, in such a situation, what else can Zhao Hongyu do?
On the side of the captive soldiers, some people have already begun to drop their spears and run away.
Although their guy stabbed Yuji Kawabe to death, the impact this guy had was very bad.
Many captured soldiers, led by such a person, became a little ready to take action.
Coupled with the pressure of the charge of the crusade, the spear line of the captured soldiers was about to collapse.
It is a very terrible thing to have no fighting spirit.
Tokugawa Kayo was very anxious. She didn't know how this confident Highness would solve the current predicament.
"Stay steady! Hold still! If anyone else wants to run away, the guy just now is an example!"
??Kawabe Yuuji was also very worried at this time.
Because he didn¡¯t know how long the captured soldiers could last.
He could see that these captive soldiers no longer had the will to fight.
If this situation continues, even he may not be able to control it.
Even when Yuji Kawabe looked at the faces of these captive soldiers, he saw a trace of resentment.
Yes, maybe they can even kill themselves in order to survive.
Zhao Hongyu also discovered this situation, so he had to make a decision.
In order to ensure the stability of the front and allow the genetic soldiers to launch a counterattack, he must now send Mrs. Wang and others up to suppress the captive soldiers who may collapse.
"Master, it only takes a little time for you to lead people up to suppress the captive soldiers. I only need a little time to stabilize the front of the captive soldiers, and my people will naturally launch a counterattack!"
At this time, everyone is both prosperous and disadvantaged, so Master Wang does not refuse this order.
¡°Brother, follow me!¡±
At this time, Master Wang also showed the same momentum as when he was a pirate.
Liu Dashen, wearing nondescript Ming-style armor, rushed out with a Longquan sword in his left hand and a samurai sword in his right hand.
After more than a hundred cheering people rushed over, they really shocked the captured soldiers who had made any changes.
The Xiong Eri and Jingkou of the River made three or two people, which often took a breath.
"However, if the situation continues to deteriorate, Mrs. Wang and the others will no longer be able to suppress and intimidate them.
Now we have to see what methods His Highness¡¯ direct subordinates can use to reverse this situation.
"Prepare grenades!"
Because of the archers of the crusade, the genetic man also suffered a lot of losses.
Although no injuries were caused, the originally neat queue became less tidy.
Facing the charge of the crusade, the genetic people are also struggling to support themselves.
The ashigaru of the Crusade Army are now only seven or eight meters away from the Gene Man's front line.
With such a distance, they can rush up in the blink of an eye.
As long as these guys are allowed to rush up, the brutal hand-to-hand combat will begin.
Although the genetic soldiers are very fierce and not afraid of death, their numbers are too few after all.
Even now, the Ashigaru army that launched the charge numbered more than 2,000 people.
However, soon, the expeditionary army will encounter a fierce counterattack.
Following the order from the genetic man captain, the genetic men took out a wooden handle from their pockets, with an iron lump on top.
They pulled out a white thread from the wooden handle, and then threw the thing away.
At the same time, the genetic men holding shotguns began to rush towards the attacking army Ashigaru and started a new round of shooting.
Boom!
After the black iron lump was thrown into the crowd of the crusade, it immediately produced a huge explosion and power, which blew up the crusade.
The expeditionary army suddenly suffered such a blow, and they did not react for a while.
They don¡¯t know what kind of weapons these enemies use, but they have such power.
Basically, dozens of people were knocked to the ground in every explosion, and some were even lifted into the air by the air waves.
At the same time, broken limbs and broken arms fell around them, which shocked people's senses extremely strongly.
Because of this unknown weapon, a large blank area suddenly appeared in the front and rear of the charging crusade.
The soldiers in the rear launched an offensive?, disconnected from the charge in front.
Because of those black iron weapons, they couldn't even charge forward.
At the same time, the soldiers of the front crusade army who were about to rush in front of the enemy were also fired upon by shotguns.
No more, no less, after three rounds of volleys, basically all the soldiers of the Crusade Army in front of the front were wiped out.
And the front line has finally stabilized.
The position of the captive soldiers, which was originally a little anxious, became stable at this time.
My mother, I know that these guys must have a way, thanks to escape like an idiot just now.
The counterattack of the genetic soldiers stabilized the entire front and position, and also helped the captive soldiers to deal with the enemies in front of them.
After the offensive of the crusade army eased, they did not know what weapons the opponent was using, so the soldiers stopped moving forward with a look of fear on their faces.
The original look of excitement because of the imminent victory was replaced by fear and uneasiness about the unknown.
Zhao Hongyu, who was with the ten people from Yihe behind, sneered and thought to himself at the same time.
"Do you really think I'm so easy to defeat? Fortunately, I came up with something new this morning. Otherwise, it would be really mysterious. It seems that by the end of today's battle, I need to add some new tricks to my problem. With the new equipment, the enemy¡¯s bows and arrows are really a big problem.¡±
"Your Highness, what weapons are they using?"
Tokugawa Kayo couldn't help but ask at this time.
The little girl saw the battlefield situation clearly in her eyes.
She had no idea that the situation would turn around like this.
¡°Moreover, she has never been able to figure out what those dark things thrown by the soldiers were.
It was beyond her imagination that such an inconspicuous thing could produce such destructive power. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
