- Tokugawa Kayo was very curious.
It was the first time she had seen that kind of black iron lump, which could produce such huge power and lethality, so she couldn't help but asked out of curiosity in her heart.
Originally, she thought that this young His Highness would not answer her.
After all, a weapon with such a powerful power must be something very secret.
In fact, after Tokugawa Kayo asked this question, she regretted it a little.
Although she is not old, she also understands very well that there are some things that she cannot know.
¡°For example¡this kind of powerful weapon.
To be fair, if you had something like this in your hands, you would definitely keep it a secret.
Because this is the foundation of one¡¯s life.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongyu actually answered the question that she thought was impossible to answer.
"Grenade!"
Nani, what is a grenade?
Although Tokugawa Kayo heard this name, she was still very confused.
To be honest, there are many things that Her Highness uses that she has never seen before.
Even the weapons she had seen were much more sophisticated than what she knew.
"Well, this question is a bit troublesome to explain. Anyway, you only need to know that the name of this weapon is a grenade. As for the other things, I will explain it to you when I have the opportunity. After all, now is not the time to talk about this matter. ."
At this time, the frontal front has gradually stabilized, so Zhao Hongyu is in a good mood.
With this momentum, the enemy can no longer shake the defense line.
And if there is a period of time, then the enemy will definitely retreat.
Since early morning, more than an hour has passed.
Although it was not very long, during this period, the crusade army had lost more than 2,000 troops.
Such a loss is really huge.
Even if Feng Shi and Ishida are together, they are a little bit unacceptable.
You know, they lost more than 2,000 troops yesterday, and they lost another 2,000 troops today.
So that means that in just over a day, their battle losses have exceeded half of their troops.
If we continue fighting like this, it is not impossible that the entire army will be destroyed.
Furthermore, the losses of the crusade were basically infantry, and the infantry was specially used as cannon fodder for assaults.
In this situation, it can be said that the infantry has basically been disabled.
If the battle is to continue, the cavalry must take the lead every time.
Compared with infantry, the cavalry here in Japan are very valuable.
This is no different from the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Japanese country does not produce horses, and the equipment of the cavalry is also very difficult to build.
Therefore, the money spent on training one cavalry can almost feed a dozen infantry.
And in more than a day, the cavalry of Dancao Regiment and Shanbo Regiment also lost a lot. Such losses were unbearable by the Wind Warrior.
He has to consider the people in his territory and cannot let them all die here.
As for the Tajima Corps, which no longer has a feudal lord, they have to take care of their life and death.
¡°After all, if you don¡¯t think about them, those people might riot.
"Ishida-kun, the ashigaru's stamina is no longer enough. I think it will only be a matter of time before they retreat." When Feng Shi saw the battle situation on the opposite side, his heart was already cold.
It was all going well, but the Ashigaru were about to break through the opponent's defense line and then overwhelm the enemy.
But I don¡¯t know how it happened, and I don¡¯t know what weapons the enemy used.
It actually caused the charging Ashigaru to flip over and be driven back a lot of distance again.
And the courage and morale of the Ashugaru, who originally had high morale, dropped to freezing point.
With such a mentality, it is impossible for them to continue fighting.
Ishida Aido has also been paying attention to the battlefield, and he strongly agrees with Feng Shi's judgment.
Therefore, he nodded and said to Minister Feng: "Yes, we failed again today. Moreover, we suffered a lot of losses. If the fight continues like this, it is not impossible for our entire army to be annihilated."
Ishida Aido thinks more than Kazushi?Pessimistic.
"The enemy's artillery is still there. It seems that Houtian and the others failed in their sneak attack yesterday." Feng Shi mentioned Houtian and expressed his little guess.
Actually, you can understand this even if you think about it.
If Hou Tian succeeds, it will be impossible for the enemy on the opposite side to use cannons today.
As they spoke, the Ashigaru retreated.
For such a result, Feng Shi and Ishida Aido were helpless, but they had to accept it.
"There are not many ashigaru left now. What we have left are basically cavalry, and the enemy has a lot of cavalry, so we are still at a disadvantage. What do you think now?"
Feng Shi looked at the corpses all over the battlefield and asked in distress.
Ishida Aido thought for a while: "Ask for help from the shogunate. I originally said in my letter to the shogunate that these foreigners are definitely not ordinary enemies. But I don't know what the people in the shogunate think. They actually You and Takahashi were sent to attack them, and no one knew that these people actually had two thousand cavalry reinforcements."
When Ishida Aido talked about this, his face didn¡¯t look very good.
"We have never seen the weapons used by the enemy. If we don't understand these, this battle will be impossible. And what do you mean, do we ask the shogunate to send other reinforcements?"
Feng Shi turned his head and looked at Ishida.
Ishida Aido nodded: "Otherwise, we have no other way. I can tell you the truth that these foreigners are very powerful in field battles. You also experienced the battles yesterday and today. It's not me. If we grow others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige, we are really no match for them."
Ishida Aido was completely convinced by Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Originally, he thought he could capture them in one fell swoop today, but he never imagined that they would still be the ones being targeted today.
"Yesterday we couldn't do it with our superior strength. Now that we have lost so many soldiers, it is even more impossible."
The plan for now is to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, find a place to take a good rest, and then ask for help from the shogunate.
According to Ishida Aido's idea, it is absolutely impossible to deal with these enemies without an absolutely superior force of 30,000 people.
The opponent fought once with themselves and twice with the expeditionary army. Each time, they defeated more with less.
This is definitely not a matter of luck.
Who can have such luck one after another?
Therefore, they must have a new understanding of the enemy's combat effectiveness.
This is definitely no ordinary enemy.
If they still face these enemies with a proud and contemptuous attitude.
? Then they will never be able to defeat each other.
"It can only be the!"
Feng Shi nodded and agreed with Ishida Hedao's suggestion.
Actually, at this point, he couldn¡¯t help but disagree.
Because he saw that the cavalry on the left and right wings had begun to retreat.
During the retreat, the cavalry were being chased by the enemy's cavalry.
On the frontal battlefield, the enemies who charged Ashigaru were repulsed, and a neat team began to slowly press over.
In the center of the battlefield, there was still a group of hundreds of Nanman cavalry raging. They were constantly chasing the archers and the retreating ashigaru.
Every time these southern barbarians swung their swords, they would chop off the heads of the soldiers they were chasing, then use the tip of the swords to make the heads fly into the air, and then the other party would reach out to catch them and tie them to the saddle.
I don¡¯t know why these southern barbarians are so powerful. Their equestrian skills are better than half of the cavalry.
Those ashigaru who retreated were a complete tragedy.
Not only did they have to face the enemy troops slowly coming up from behind, but they also had to face the raging Southern Barbarian cavalry on the battlefield.
At this time, the front and two wings of the crusade were completely finished.
"Are these guys pigs? Even pigs are stronger than them!"
After seeing the scene of the defeat of both wings, Feng Shi cursed loudly.
He could understand that the Ashigaru were defeated on the frontal battlefield.
After all, the enemy is still very powerful.
However, the cavalry on both wings were also defeated, which he couldn't understand.
You know, there are almost 4,000 Tajima and single wave cavalry combined.
After being divided into two wings, there are basically two thousand people each.
???????????????????????????? Their enemies, who number more than 2,000, are still overcounted.
At the same time, in order to deal with them, the enemy divided the two thousand cavalry.
In this way, the number of enemy cavalry faced by Tajima and the single wave cavalry each was one thousand.
They are twice as many as the enemy.
In terms of military strength, it has sufficient advantages.
Fighting against the enemy's cavalry with such an advantage, Feng Shi couldn't imagine that they could actually be defeated.
Therefore, these guys are nothing but pigs.
And after his observation, the two thousand enemy cavalry were completely different from the hundreds of cavalry.
The weapons they used were all cold weapons, and they did not use any kind of "iron cannon" with a dozen and a large trumpet shape.
Therefore, in terms of equipment, both sides are the same.
At the same time, our side still has an advantage in terms of military strength.
¡°Mom**, why did they lose?
Feng Shi thought about it and couldn't understand these problems.
However, there is no time for him to consider these things now.
The defeat of both wings has completely demoralized the expeditionary army. Now the battlefield is full of defeated soldiers.
These soldiers were running around like headless flies. Even if their own generals were shouting loudly, asking them to regroup, these soldiers could not hear them.
Defeated!
It was a complete failure.
The enemy troops who defeated the cavalry on both wings began to pursue the defeated cavalry all the way.
In addition, the hundreds of Nanman cavalry on the battlefield also laughed wildly and started chasing the Ashigaru.
The enemy's infantry in the front is pressing towards our own formation step by step. The Wind Warrior does not have many choices at this time.
Now, there are only two roads before him.
One way is to take hundreds of your own bannermen and go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the end.
However, if you do this, the outcome will definitely not be good.
He really felt the sharpness of the enemy's weapons in two battles in just over a day.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to choose this path which is no different from dying.
Since he can¡¯t choose this path, he has the only last option.
Retreat!
To put it bluntly, just run away quickly.
It sounds nice to call a retreat, but it is essentially a retreat.
However, Feng Shi didn¡¯t know where he could retreat to.
And where is the safest place.
The enemy also has cavalry, so in the process of retreat, they will inevitably have to face the enemy's pursuit.
"Hurry back, we won't have a chance when the enemy comes up." Ishida Kaido said to Feng Shi with a fearful look on his face. At this time, Ishida Aido seemed to have returned to that night, and the feeling of fear once again filled his body.
These people are all Shuras from hell.
"Where are we retreating to? The battlefield is too chaotic now, and we still have to collect the defeated troops."
Feng Shi looked helpless, and anxiously shouted to Ishida Hedao.
"We can retreat to Osaka Castle. The walls of Osaka Castle are very high and thick. These enemies dare not catch up."
Ishida Hedao faced Feng Shidao.
Going to Osaka Castle?
At this time, going to Osaka Castle is not an option.
Feng Shi quickly made a decision.
"good!"
However, Feng Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the ashigaru running around and the cavalry who were being chased.
"What should we do with these soldiers? We can't ignore them."
No one could have imagined that one moment they were still in sight of victory, but in the blink of an eye the situation took a turn for the worse.
This whole process only lasted about fifteen minutes.
¡°However, it allowed them to experience the feeling of two heavens of ice and fire.
"Assign men to shout loudly during the rout, telling them to retreat to Osaka Castle. After all, they also need to eat. If they don't go to Osaka Castle, then they will wait to starve."
?Ishida came up with a solution to this problem.
At this time, this method is considered very good.
Feng Shi nodded and agreed.
Then, he sent some men and started shouting on the other side of the broken army.
??And Feng Shi and Ishida Hedao took the flag and began to retreat towards Osaka Castle.
When the crusade army began to retreat, Zhao Hongyu led the infantry leisurely and slowly pursued the crusade army.
Tokugawa Kayo, who was beside Zhao Hongyu, had her mouth slightly open, with a cute and dumbfounded look.
She really couldn¡¯t figure it out. It was very dangerous earlier and the position was about to be broken through by the enemy.
But how come the situation on the battlefield was reversed after a short while?
It¡¯s really puzzling.
Could it bethat this is the power of that 'grenade'?
