- "Sir, the enemy has begun to attack our army. It is a cavalry force of about a thousand people."
Mang Gurtai only sent a thousand-man team to launch an attack on President Xiaolin and others.
In his opinion, dispatching a thousand cavalrymen is already a sign of high regard for the opponent. You know, even if you are facing a Ming army with 30,000 people, basically a team of 1,000 cavalry can defeat it.
Therefore, now that we have dispatched a thousand cavalry to Governor Kobayashi's 10,000-person team, isn't it already a shame to the other party?
Of course, Mang Gurtai didn¡¯t know that the enemies on the opposite side were not the Ming army he thought.
Hearing this, President Xiaolin sneered.
"Hey! It seems that the opponent doesn't take us seriously at all and looks down on us. But it doesn't matter. The enemy's pride is also very beneficial to our battle."
He said to the generals around him.
"Gotaro Yoshida, I order you to lead a thousand ashigaru to meet the enemy. We must show our prestige and let the other party take a look and know that we are not easy to mess with."
Well!
A military general who was named knelt on the ground and left in response to the order.
"Everyone, please go to the front of the formation. The battle has begun, hasn't it?"
After Taketaro Yoshida left, President Kobayashi said something to him.
Afterwards, everyone in the camp left one after another and came to the front of the formation.
The Kyushu Army underwent military training in Nagasaki, and after arriving at Jincheng, they also conducted short-term military training.
Because Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou considered that at some point in the future, these Kyushu troops would inevitably fight against the Jinba Banner after the war, they trained them in a very targeted manner on how to fight against the cavalry.
Therefore, even though the soldiers of the Kyushu Army at this time knew that the enemies on the opposite side were all cavalry, they had nothing to panic.
but. Unlike the imperial soldiers, the Kyushu Army is not equipped with muskets and artillery. They still use cold weapons.
In other words, they are still using cold weapons to fight.
To say that the imperial army is not afraid of the Houjin Eight Banners cavalry is because the imperial army is equipped with powerful and sophisticated muskets and artillery. With such confidence, of course they are not afraid of anything.
But the Kyushu Army is different.
"But the Kyushu Army didn't panic at all, which is a bit strange.
"Enemy! Three hundred steps. Crossbowmen shoot!"
Hou Jin's thousand cavalry have entered the charging stage, and the scene of galloping war horses is so spectacular that the earth has begun to shake slightly.
The Knights of the Eight Banners on horseback had already begun to wave the steel swords in their hands and shouted loudly.
In their view, the enemies on the opposite side are nothing at all. As long as they charge over, they can defeat them.
But what disappointed them was. As they got closer and closer to the enemy, the enemy on the opposite side showed no signs of panic at all, and they were not afraid of the charging ones at all.
This is strange.
You must know that even the Ming army as elite as Liaodong would not behave so calmly when faced with the charge of their Eight Banners cavalry.
Could it be that these enemies on the opposite side don¡¯t know what fear is?
Many Eight Banners cavalry are charging. A thought like this suddenly flashed through my mind.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just when they thought they couldn't figure it out, a slight gap appeared in the neatly arranged enemy troops on the opposite side. Some soldiers holding crossbows ran out of the gap, and then shot arrows at them.
snort!
Is that all it takes?
The charging Eight Banners cavalry showed mocking expressions when faced with the enemy's arrows.
Immediately, these Eight Banners cavalrymen, who were galloping towards them, lay down on one side of their horses, easily dodging the arrows.
have to say. The Eight Banners cavalry still look the same on their horses.
"We have been fighting the Ming army for so many years, how could we not even be able to cope with arrow attacks?"
In such a short time, the distance between the two parties has become closer.
Now, those Eight Banners cavalry can basically see clearly the facial expressions of the enemy on the opposite side.
You only need to rush for a while, then you can rush to their formation.
hey-hey!
Just giveWhere are the guys rushing to? Then the enemy's front will definitely be unstable.
Usually, in most cases, the trend is like this.
So, these Eight Banners cavalry. Subconsciously, he smiled.
As long as the enemy's front line is in chaos, it will not take long before it collapses. Then they can easily hunt down these enemies, which is a very easy task.
Whoosh whoosh!
But the next moment, the smiles on the faces of the Eight Banners cavalry who were already smiling suddenly froze.
Because the enemy on the opposite side quickly started shooting a second time after the first attack.
This doesn¡¯t make sense.
Whether it is a bow or a crossbow, there is no reason why it will continue in a short period of time.
You must know that archers are all human beings, and it will take some time for them to regain their strength.
At the same time, we have to aim and draw the bow and arrow.
Even if it is a crossbow, the bow must be strung.
The Eight Banners cavalrymen, who knew nothing about this, naturally believed that the enemy would not be able to be covered by a second wave of arrows in a short period of time.
But the result was far beyond their expectations.
Not only did the enemy not end the arrow coverage, but they also started a second wave of attacks very quickly.
Just looking at the enemy soldiers who had finished shooting in the first wave, they quickly retreated to both sides and ran from both sides to the rear. After they left, the soldiers responsible for the second wave of attacks ran out of the gap and fired the arrows from the crossbow in their hands.
After the second wave of crossbowmen finished shooting, they began to retreat to both sides like the first wave of soldiers, and then the third wave of soldiers rushed out
With this cycle going back and forth, it seems that there is no end at all.
Although the galloping Eight Banners cavalry had superb riding skills, they still suffered heavy losses in the face of such dense arrow coverage.
Without him, the crossbow arrows are as dense as rain, and you can only survive if you hide under the horse's belly.
And people can hide, but can a galloping war horse?
Therefore, if you can¡¯t shoot the people, shoot the horses. After the horses are shot, some people will stand up. Some were severely injured and fell to the ground. As a result, a series of accidents were triggered.
You know, we are in the midst of a charge now.
The horses in front doing this will definitely have a great impact on the cavalry running behind.
¡°Some Eight Banners cavalrymen were even thrown to the ground, unable to dodge in the face of their companions rushing up from behind. Then he was trampled by the hoof of his companion's war horse. He was either seriously injured or trampled to death on the spot.
Therefore, this thousand-man cavalry team suffered great losses for a while.
At the same time, because of such troubles, the charging formation was disrupted.
Companions and horses in front. We are already blocked on the charge path, so what will happen to the people behind us.
It has to be said that the fifth stage of musket shooting is quite effective when used on crossbows.
Hey!
Seeing that the situation was a bit chaotic, the Eight Banners cavalry immediately began to organize themselves, preparing to bypass their companions in front and attack from the side.
But at this moment, a dull roar came from the enemy formation. Then a team armed with fine iron spears, transparent shields, and strange helmets and very weird costumes rushed over.
Yes, this team is a Kyushu thousands-man team wearing "anti-explosion suits".
The person who commanded this team to fight was Gotaro Yoshida, who was named by President Kobayashi.
This thousand-man team rushed over quickly, but the distance was only more than 200 steps, not very far at all.
In just a blink of an eye, this thousand-man team came over and quickly rushed into the Eight Banners cavalry team. began their massacre.
?Bought from the virtual world, the spear made of sporting goods is very strong and is made of fine iron.
The steel knives in the hands of those Houjin cavalrymen on war horses could not cut off the spears.
This is very different from when they fought against the Ming army.
The spears of the Ming army all had wooden shafts, with at most an iron spearhead inlaid in the front.
But most of the time, the spearmen of the Ming Army spearmen. It didn't even have an iron head, and the gun body was so rotten that it could be cut off with a single knife.
The reason is very simple. The generals of the Ming Army took out all their sophisticated weapons and sold them for money. So soldiers can use?? weapons. Basically they are all very inferior.
Even some soldiers had no weapons at all and went to the battlefield with just a wooden stick.
This situation was very common in the Ming army, and many officers turned a blind eye and ignored it.
Who cares about those soldiers at the bottom?
Therefore, when the Hou Jin and Ming armies fought, they often had some advantages and advantages in weapons.
But today the enemy they face is different.
The Kyushu soldiers who belong to the empire have received the care of the empire, and the empire is really rich.
Therefore, in terms of weapons, they will definitely not be as miserable as the Ming army.
Ten soldiers formed a team, six of them held transparent shields in front of them, and four soldiers holding spears behind them kept thrusting out the spears in their hands.
There are a hundred such teams in total.
The orderly queue, even in the face of the counterattack of the Knights of the Eight Banners, did not shake their progress at all.
And, as these one hundred teams advance, many Knights of the Eight Banners will be stabbed off their horses, and they will not even be able to fight back.
Massacre!
This is a "chiluo" naked one-sided massacre.
"What is it like for the Eight Banners cavalry to feel despair for the first time?"
Whoosh!
Dang!
An Eight Banners cavalryman shot the arrow in his hand, and then he was pierced by three spears and staggered to the ground. Then a squatting enemy came over with a knife and cut him on the neck. One knife.
And the arrows shot by this unlucky guy were deflected by these enemies with transparent shields, causing no harm to them at all.
This small-scale battle started quickly and ended quickly.
About dozens of cavalrymen fled back, and most of the Eight Banners cavalrymen died here.
Speaking of which, Mang Gurtai was also careless, because he didn't know at all that the enemies on the opposite side were definitely very powerful in small battles.
There is no other reason. The usual battles in the Japanese country only involve thousands of people.
Therefore, in such a small battle, the Japanese must have an advantage.
Seeing that his cavalry was defeated in the front, only a few dozen cavalry escaped.
Mang Gurtai¡¯s face became extremely ugly.
Yes, he led his army here with full confidence. He even thought that there was no opponent here that could block his attack.
However, now he has been kicked on the iron plate, and he has lost a lot of face in a bad start.
An elite cavalry force of the Eight Banners Thousands was easily dealt with by the enemy on the opposite side. It was even that easy.
On the other hand, the Eight Banners' thousand-man cavalry didn't even have a chance to fight back when the enemy attacked, and it became a complete one-sided massacre.
I really want the sun to be your mother!
Mang Gurtai couldn¡¯t help but uttered a curse word!
"The whole army! Attack!"
Because of the temporary defeat, Mang Gurtai also lost his patience.
He decided to attack with the whole army and wipe out the enemy on the opposite side in one fell swoop. This time he lost a lot of face. If he didn't destroy the enemy, how could he pick up his own face?
Governor Kobayashi on the opposite side also noticed Mang Gurtai's intention, and immediately asked Yoshida Gotaro to lead the army back to the main formation, and then changed the army to form a square turtle formation to deal with the subsequent Eight Banners Army. Crazy attack.
At the same time, the messenger from Jay Chou's reinforcements also arrived at President Kobayashi's Chinese Army - Didn't finish reading?
