Following Zhao Hongyu's order, Yuji Kawabe followed up with his soldiers. He handed the team over to Iguchi Zozo and he himself rode up behind Zhao Hongyu.
"Your Highness, what about the artillery regiment behind our army? Without the protection of infantry, it will be very dangerous if the artillery of the Kyushu Army launches an attack."
Although Yuji Kawabe guessed that Zhao Hongyu must have his own solution to the current situation, in order to be a dedicated subordinate, he still reminded Zhao Hongyu to pay attention to this problem.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu looked back at Yuji Kawabe, and then nodded.
"Well, your reminder makes sense. But you don't have to worry about this at all. The artillery can deploy two people from each artillery to create a defensive front. In this way, the artillery will have a thousand musketeers. That's it. These musketeers can still resist the Kyushu Army's attack for a period of time."
Zhao Hongyu was naturally prepared for this.
"As long as they can withstand it for a while, we will defeat the enemy."
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Kawabe Yuuji frowned.
"Your Highness, there are still a lot of enemies, so we have to be prepared for possible dangers. If an unexpected accident occurs, it will cause us to suffer great losses. The cost of these artillery is not low, and we cannot afford it. Such a loss.¡±
Kawabe Yuuji was still very worried about this, so he continued to comfort Zhao Hongyu.
Yes, Kawabe Yuuji¡¯s reminder is not unreasonable.
If the Kyushu Allied Forces allocate half of their troops to attack the artillery positions, it will be really troublesome.
After all, the manpower at the artillery position is still smaller than the infantry under his command.
¡°If this is a charge against tens of thousands of Kyushu troops, it¡¯s really hard to say whether they can withstand it.
Although these artillery pieces were purchased from the virtual world, they were actually very cheap. They were basically purchased based on the price of scrap metal.
¡°However, it¡¯s still not good to suffer a loss.
"Well, you are right, so do you have any suitable suggestions?"
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while and felt that what Yuji Kawabe said was reasonable.
However, he can¡¯t lead the legion back to the artillery position.
Kawabe Yuuji thought for a moment: "Let's take the artillery with us. Although this will slow down the march, it can ensure the safety of the artillery."
Finally, Yuji Kawabe proposed an idea to Zhao Hongyu and asked him to see if he could make a decision.
With artillery?
Zhao Hongyu frowned.
To be honest, if possible, he really does not want to advance with artillery. Because the artillery moves very slowly, this will greatly reduce his marching speed.
However, Yuji Kawabe¡¯s reminder is still correct. His artillery cannot suffer too much losses. The main problem is not the artillery, but the gunners.
¡°After all, for people in this era, artillery is a relatively precious thing, but it is cheap here in Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Compared to artillery, the most precious thing are those genetic people.
You know, the price of a cannon is only 20,000 yuan, including the cost.
¡°But the cost of cultivating a genetic human is more than 400,000 yuan.
Comparing the two, it is easy to figure out which one deserves more attention.
"Okay, let's send an order for the artillery to follow us and order the troops to stop and wait for a while. I hope the Kyushu Army on the opposite side can give us a little time and not attack too early."
Zhao Hongyu finally adopted Yuji Kawabe¡¯s suggestion and decided to let the artillery move with the army.
Although it will slow down the speed, it is nothing significant.
After all, the distance between Zhao Hongyu and the Kyushu Allied Forces has now narrowed to 1,100 meters.
Therefore, it seems that there is nothing wrong with taking artillery with us.
"At worst, we can just let the artillerymen stay here when they defeat the Kyushu Allied Forces and start hunting them down."
??????????????????? Moreover, let the artillery move together. When the square formation is formed, the artillery can also be arranged in the center to cause damage to the encircling Kyushu Allied Forces.
¡°Well, this is still a very good idea.
¡°I just don¡¯t know if more than 200 artillery pieces can be accommodated in the square array.
If it cannot be installed, then some artillery pieces need to be abandoned and used as obstacles on the periphery.
Anyway, these artillery pieces are very cheap. At worst, you can just buy them again after they are damaged.
¡°Furthermore, those genetic people who serve as artillery gunners are much more valuable than artillery, aren¡¯t they?
As Zhao Hongyu made up his mind, he ordered the entire army to stop advancing.
The artillery team at the rear also received his order and began to drive the cattle back again, then put on the artillery and tried to pull them over from the rear of the army.
At this time, the Kyushu Allied Forces on the opposite side also separated their troops and were advancing towards their respective destinations.
Both sides are arranging their own troops and preparing as much as possible for a new battle.
"My lord, the enemy's army has stopped advancing."
Fujita High School sophomore was responsible for the frontal charge, so he stayed on the side of the formation and did not move.
He led his banner and the Okazaki infantry in a battle formation facing Zhao Hongyu and the others.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Fujita High School student looked at the opposite side with a straight face.
"Has anyone else reached the designated attack position?"
"No adults yet, it will take some time."
The subordinate replied.
Fujita High School sophomore nodded: "Continue to observe the movements on the other side. It is estimated that they may have seen our actions and guessed our combat intentions. But it doesn't matter. It's okay for them to stop. This can give us more information." More time to complete the combat deployment. After everyone else has arrived at the predetermined location, come and notify me. In the meantime, keep in touch with everyone."
"Yes, sir!" The soldier with a small flag on his back bowed and accepted the order.
Fujita High School sophomore fell into silence.
The Okazaki generals following Fujita High School all know that the next battle will definitely be very cruel.
Because the earlier attack was very detrimental to our side and caused them great losses.
So, if they still fail after this battle. Then the entire Kyushu will never be able to build up the strength to fight those enemies. In other words, this battle is related to the fate of their Kyushu.
Therefore, everyone¡¯s faces showed an extremely solemn look.
"I really can't believe that these enemies are so powerful and can cause our Kyushu Allied Forces to lose half of our troops in such a short period of time. Fortunately, the enemy's troops are not very large, and we are not without the power to fight. Otherwise, We have no hope at all.¡±
Fujita, a sophomore, sat on his horse with a cold face, thinking to himself.
"I made the decision to fight these foreigners this time. Isn't it a bit inappropriate? Maybe I should have followed the shogunate's arrangement and vacated Kyushu?" To be honest, Fujita High School sophomore was thinking at this moment. , has begun to doubt and waver in his decision.
Before the second battle began, he kept examining it.
Because he knew very well the importance of the second battle.
If he is defeated by the enemy this time, let alone him, even the other daimyo will not have any good results.
After all, the troops assembled on the battlefield now are all the elite troops that the thirteen great families of Kyushu can muster.
Although there are still 100,000 peasant soldiers, what else can these peasant soldiers do besides being cannon fodder?
Thinking of those 100,000 peasant soldiers, Fujita, a sophomore in high school, couldn't help but regret.
Because Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived too quickly, the peasants and soldiers had not yet completely gathered at Maitreya.
"If one hundred thousand peasants and soldiers join in this battle, the outcome will be really difficult to predict.
After all, with these 100,000 cannon fodder, Zhao Hongyu and the others would have to scramble to make a desperate charge. And our own side can take advantage of this opportunity to launch attacks from other directions.
Maybe this battle will be over long ago.
But the problem is, there is no such thing as regret in this world.
Now that this is the case, Fujita, a sophomore, has no ability to change anything.
What he can do now is to pray that the next combat intention can be successful, and that he can defeat the enemies on the opposite side with several simultaneous tactics, and reverse the current situation of the battle that is very unfavorable to them.
If they still fail this time.
? Then there is nothing more to say.
? ?Go back to each home, organize the people in the territory, and fight to the death with the foreigners.
Apart from that, they have no other option.
"Kayo, after we decide the winner, I hope you will take Yuji Kawabe and the others to attack Okazaki Castle. I wonder if you have the confidence?"
While Fujita, a second-year high school student, was thinking wildly on the opposite side, Zhao Hongyu on this side had already begun to prepare for arrangements after the battle.
"Your Highness, just relying on Yuji Kawabe's regiment, the number of troops is a little smaller. After all, the scorched earth war has begun here in Kyushu. I'm worried that we will encounter great resistance." Tokugawa Yoshiro thought After thinking about it he replied.
"How about using the banner of your Tokugawa family? Will Kyushu people be in a mood to resist?" As soon as Tokugawa Kayo finished speaking, Zhao Hongyu took over and continued to ask.
Yes, Zhao Hongyu has planned to wait until the battle is over before letting Tokugawa Kayo show the banner of the Tokugawa family.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s view, using the banner of the Tokugawa family will eventually weaken the confrontational mood of the people of Kyushu. As for those wealthy families and martial arts families in high positions, Zhao Hongyu would not consider them.
"Do you want to use the banner of the Tokugawa family?" Tokugawa Kayo's face flashed with joy.
Even Hattori Kizo became excited. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
