The Kyushu Allied Forces' offensive has actually reached the point where it is running out of gas.
Zhao Hongyu noticed this very keenly.
Although it seems that we are facing a lot of pressure now, these are just symptoms.
Following Zhao Hongyu's order, the genetic soldiers lined up in the fifth queue in four directions opened the large wooden box placed behind the mouth, and then took out a black iron pipe-like thing from the wooden box. He put the resistance on his shoulders and walked to the front of the position.
Whoosh! Whizzing!
As they pulled the trigger of the imitation rocket launcher, low-quality rockets trailing long flames were fired, rushing towards the enemies they faced.
Are you from the Kyushu Allied Forces? Where have you seen anything like this?
They have no idea what kind of thing their opponent has come up with to deal with them.
¡°Besides, even if they knew it, they wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid it at such a distance.
As pillars of fire rushed into the crowd of Kyushu Allied Forces, and then began to explode, the losses of the Kyushu Allied Forces suddenly became more heavy.
After a wave of counterfeit rocket launcher attacks, these geneticists quickly returned to the end of the queue and took out shotguns that had cooled down and could be used again.
The five-stage shooting tactic began again, and the Kyushu Allied Forces, which had just been attacked by a rocket launcher, were so disoriented that they had no time to take into account what was going on.
"No! We absolutely cannot continue like this. Our opponents are not human beings at all! Retreat!"
Facing the sharp counterattack from Zhao Hongyu, the Fukuoka daimyo who was responsible for the western attack mission on the Kyushu Allied Forces finally collapsed completely at this time.
In this attack, the legion from Fukuoka has been basically lost, which makes the Fukuoka Daimyo very distressed.
These are all the elites in Fukuoka.
He didn¡¯t know if he would be able to face Zhao Hongyu¡¯s attacks in the future after losing these elite soldiers. But he just knew one thing he had to do now, which was to retreat immediately.
Yes, if he doesn't retreat, he will lose even his own elite troops here.
By then, having become a mere commander, he would no longer be able to control his territory.
But he never thought that even if he retreated now, the situation he would face in the future would still be very bad.
But at a time like this, how could this famous man from Fukuoka think about this issue?
Already frightened out of his courage, after giving the order to retreat, he immediately turned around the dock and quickly broke away from the rear formation, and then quickly rushed to the northwest direction.
The remaining soldiers from Fukuoka, as well as the elite samurai under his command, also broke away from the team and fled behind him.
With his leadership, a large number of followers suddenly appeared on the western front that had already been shaken. It can be said that the power of role models is infinite.
This daimyo from Fukuoka was just the beginning. It was he who started the prelude to the defeat of the Kyushu Allied Forces.
As the soldiers at the bottom of the Kyushu Allied Forces, they could have persisted for a while.
¡°After all, at this time, the famous men of the Thirteen Families are still fighting with the enemy with everyone, aren¡¯t they?
Therefore, even though these low-level soldiers already had the idea of ????escape, under the influence of the daimyo, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.
If the daimyo had not retreated, then these lower-level soldiers might not be able to continue fighting Zhao Hongyu and the others.
However, when a big name appears and starts to flee and retreat, it will have a great impact.
Who told these low-level soldiers to think about running away a long time ago?
Now that you have a role model, a famous person, you can find an excuse.
At this moment, the entire Kyushu Allied Forces attacking Zhao Hongyu's phalanx on the west began to collapse rapidly. Even though some generals tried their best to stop them, it was of no avail.
When the Kyushu Legion here on the west side collapsed, it also affected the Kyushu Legion in the other three attacking directions.
¡°We are not fools, and we all have our own selfish motives.
When they see the people on the west side retreating, they will think about why they continue to fight the enemy stupidly when others have run away.
What¡¯s more important is that the enemies he faces are so powerful.?It simply leaves no hope of victory for our side except for the dead.
Just like that, as the Kyushu soldiers on the west side began to collapse, the Kyushu legions in the other three directions also began a snowballing defeat.
This speed is even astonishingly fast.
Within just three minutes, the Nine Provinces Allied Forces that were still besieging Zhao Hongyu's square began to flee in all directions.
As a front-line attacker, Fujita Koji also discovered this situation.
When he saw that the west side collapsed first, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
However, before he could send someone here to communicate with the commander on the west side, deserters began to appear on the entire battlefield, and even the side he commanded could not avoid it.
asshole! Why retreat? We still have a lot of troops and we still have a great advantage over the enemy. And we are already so close to the enemy. With a little effort, we can get close to the enemy and engage in hand-to-hand combat, and finally completely defeat our enemy. But with this retreat, all the efforts were wasted, and so many soldiers' lives were wasted.
When Fujita, a sophomore in high school, faced this situation, he really gritted his teeth with hatred.
"what is going on?"
Fujita, a high school sophomore, had disheveled hair, held a katana and shouted loudly.
After he was shelled earlier, the war horse disappeared somewhere, so now Fujita, a sophomore, has also become an "infantry".
Fortunately, as a daimyo, he had hundreds of elite Hatamotos following him and protecting him. It won't make him really fight alone like an infantryman.
A general panting came to Fujita Koji's side. The general's body was covered with blood, and there were even a few pieces of meat. It may be that during the attack, when other people were killed by Zhao Hongyu and the others, some pieces of meat were left. The crumbs fell on him.
At the same time, this general looked a little miserable, his face was covered with dust, and the armor on his body was also covered with dust.
"Sir, Lord Fukuoka led his men to retreat from the battlefield first, which led to our current collapse. The current situation is no longer under our control. For the sake of your safety, we should retreat."
This military general reported to Fujita Koji the reason for the collapse of the Kyushu Allied Forces and made a suggestion to him.
Yes, now they are completely defeated, and this battle can no longer be restored.
¡°Look at those soldiers who didn¡¯t even look back and ran faster than rabbits. You should know that they have been defeated by the enemy now.
The most important thing now is to quickly evacuate this place of right and wrong and return to Okazaki.
After the army is defeated, the enemy will definitely hunt them down. It will be quite dangerous if they continue to stay here.
Although Fujita Koji was unwilling to give in, he was indeed helpless in the battle before him.
He also deeply understands this.
well!
In the end, Fujita High School sighed deeply and nodded helplessly.
"Retreat!"
With Fujita¡¯s decision, the elites around him, including the Hatamoto samurai and generals, all felt relieved in their hearts.
For them, they don¡¯t want to stay in this battlefield for any longer.
Because at this time, the Maitreya battlefield was already filled with the corpses of Kyushu soldiers, and it had completely turned into a human Shura field.
"This kind of place where broken arms and limbs and bones are everywhere, and the ground is full of blood and flesh, makes people feel very panicked just by looking at it.
When everyone was charging hard just now, they hadn¡¯t noticed this yet, so they didn¡¯t think anything of it.
But looking back now, the scene here really looks like the eighteenth level of hell.
"Sir, we don't have a chance. What we have to do now is to return to Okazaki Castle and immediately organize the militia to garrison Okazaki Castle. The number of enemies is not very large. Although they are very powerful in field battles, they should not be able to attack the city. . As long as we defend Okazaki Castle and hold off the enemy, we will not be able to win in the end. After all, these enemies are outsiders. As long as they cannot replenish supplies in Kyushu, they will eventually leave."
Well!
It¡¯s really true.
After hearing what his subordinate said, Fujita High School's eyes suddenly lit up as he was a little depressed.
"Okay! Let's return to Okazaki Castle as soon as possible and then collect??All supplies are stored in Okazaki Castle. At that time, we will fight an offensive and defensive battle with these foreigners. "
It¡¯s just that they all seem to have overlooked one problem, that is, their enemies seem to have powerful siege weapons and artillery.
Therefore, how could Okazaki Castle, which was much smaller than Osaka Castle, be able to defend Zhao Hongyu, who was like a wolf and a tiger.
On the side of the phalanx, Zhao Hongyu was issuing a series of orders to the ordering soldiers.
Although he knew that the Kyushu Allied Forces would eventually be defeated, he did not know that the opponent would be defeated so quickly.
After all, in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s view, the opponent¡¯s troops still numbered more than 40,000. No matter what, the other party can fight with me for a while, right?
¡°In fact, how did he know that the battle had reached such an extent that it was actually beyond what the Kyushu Allied Forces could bear.
You must know that in the era of cold weapons, often after the loss of more than 40% of a party's troops, the morale of the army will be greatly shaken.
And if it exceeds half, it will definitely collapse.
In modern times, this level of battle damage will become even less.
Generally, a battle loss of 20% will cause the army to collapse.
This kind of situation occurred most often in the Republic of China era in another time and space.
"As for the Kyushu Allied Forces fighting Zhao Hongyu, their battle losses have exceeded the 60% limit, so it is completely normal for them to collapse.
¡°After all, these people are all flesh and blood, and they all have fears and selfishness.
This is very different from the fact that 90% of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s troops are genetically trained in batches.
But no matter what, the enemies fighting against him have been defeated, and these enemies are the combined armies of the thirteen great names on the Kyushu Continent.
In other words, after defeating the coalition forces of the Thirteen Daimyos of Kyushu in Mirokuhara, Zhao Hongyu will not encounter opponents in the short term.
This battle at Maitreya was enough to make the daimyos of Kyushu fear themselves so much that they did not dare to fight against them again.
Therefore, what Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly conquer Miyazaki and then enter the Satsuma Domain.
However, Zhao Hongyu cannot attack the enemy immediately. He still needs to make some arrangements and clean up the battlefield at the same time.
At this time, on the grassland of Maitreya Plain, there were still more than 100,000 corpses of Kyushu Allied Forces and their seriously wounded.
"Your Highness, should I attack Okazaki Castle now? If we start the pursuit now, we can arrive at the castle before Fujita Koji of Okazaki Castle returns to Okazaki Castle with his defeated troops, and then take advantage of him before he returns. When we get to Okazaki Castle, capture Okazaki Castle."
Tokugawa Kayo, who had already received Zhao Hongyu¡¯s guarantee that she would be allowed to use the Tokugawa family banner, asked Zhao Hongyu excitedly at this time.
"Wait a minute, we have now won this battle, and it has greatly weakened the strength of the Kyushu Allied Forces. But do you think we can capture Okazaki Castle just by relying on Yuji Kawabe and the others?"
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words made Tokugawa Kayo¡¯s excitement disappear a little.
"Don't be anxious now. I will definitely abide by what I promised you. You don't need to wait too long. Just wait until I finish cleaning the battlefield. I will also send an artillery team and an infantry unit to assist. You. With these troops, I think it will be easier to capture Okazaki Castle. And I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible to just think that just by capturing one Okazaki Castle, you can control the entire territory, right?¡±
Faced with these words from Zhao Hongyu, Tokugawa Kayo's face turned red.
She thought just now that His Highness had changed his mind.
But when he heard what Zhao Hongyu said at this time, Tokugawa Kayo couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed for what he had just thought.
"Order Yuji Kawabe to lead his men to clean the battlefield. If they encounter those with minor injuries that can be treated, tie them up. We may need these people in the future. Of course, when cleaning the battlefield, all the spoils will belong to them. . After all, we won the victory, so we have to let our subordinates make a little fortune together, right?"
Just now, Yuji Kawabe and his men were working very hard.
Zhao Hongyu saw all this.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t mind using Kyushu Soldier¡¯s money to provide benefits to Kawabe Yuuji and the others.
After learning the news, the Imperial Alliance troops cheered and rushed to the battlefield.
TheseThe guys came to the battlefield and began to turn over the bodies of the Kyushu soldiers who fell on the grass.
"Sir, in fact, we should immediately pursue the defeated enemies at this time, but isn't it inappropriate to do so now?"
The girl Chizuru Hattori who was following Zhao Hongyu asked with some confusion. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
