Because the center of the military formation was attacked, which in turn caused the entire army to be disrupted, some orders could not be conveyed in time, so the Eight Banners soldiers on the periphery seemed to be confused.
Therefore, when facing the attack of the Kyushu Army, the Eight Banners soldiers on the periphery began to fight on their own.
And in this way, when they faced the attack of the Kyushu Army, which was more ferocious and capable of fighting than them and had a stable formation, they would inevitably fall into a disadvantage.
In just ten minutes, the Eight Banners soldiers on the periphery suffered a large number of casualties, but they still failed to stop the momentum of the Kyushu Army's attack.
Mang Gurtai gritted his teeth, whipped the horse's legs hard with the whip in his hand, and then the horse began to move towards the quilt.
He knew that in the current situation, he could no longer control the situation on the battlefield.
If you want to reverse this disadvantage, you can only lead the entire army away from a certain distance, and then regroup to regain the strength of the first battle.
As Mang Gurtai and a group of pro-soldiers left the battlefield, the Eight Banners Army began to lose its fighting spirit.
Especially when facing the fierce killings of the Kyushu Army and the heavy cavalry, the Eight Banners Army lost its troops faster.
Woohoo!
The sound of the retreat horn finally gave them hope.
Without the need for orders from the lower-level generals of the Eight Banners armies, the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, who were still fighting and resisting, turned the reins in their hands and turned their horses' heads and began to chase after Mang Gurtai and the others.
Most of them start to retreat, then no one will have the intention to continue fighting.
Mang Gurtai¡¯s men are all cavalry, so if they want to retreat, Governor Xiaolin has no way to stop them.
Even the heavily armored cavalry who came to help could only watch these Eight Banners troops quickly leave the battlefield and were powerless.
When Mang Gurtai led the army to retreat, a pile of corpses was left on the entire battlefield.
These corpses are basically all dressed in Houjin costumes, and only a very small part of them are the costumes of the Kyushu Army.
It can be seen that Mang Gurtai suffered heavy losses in this battle.
And those heavy cavalry who came to help. Only five or six unlucky people lost their lives on this battlefield because they fell from their horses.
Generally speaking, the Kyushu Army and the heavy cavalry that came to the rescue did not suffer much losses.
"The entire army stops pursuing!"
Facing the fleeing Eight Banners army, Governor Kobayashi promptly ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit.
To be honest, the Kyushu Army is infantry. Although it has some cavalry, it is still far behind the Eight Banners Army, which is all cavalry.
therefore. In such a situation, the wise choice is to stop pursuing.
At least, President Kobayashi is still a qualified commander, and his current advantages do not confuse his eyes and affect his normal judgment of the situation.
After the Kyushu Army stopped, the soldiers did not relax.
These elites from Kyushu. Still panting heavily, he held the weapon tightly in his hand and looked at the heavy cavalry that was slowly riding towards this side.
"These soldiers from the Japanese country are not bad, at least they are much better than the French and Romans."
The heavy cavalry were sitting on the backs of horses covered with iron armor, and the first few were talking in weird accents.
The performance of the Kyushu soldiers in the previous battles obviously gained some approval from these people.
"Governor Kobayashi, commander of the Imperial Jincheng Kyushu Army, please explain your identity!"
The heavily armored knights stopped one after another when they were still some distance away from the Kyushu military formation.
???????????????? Later. President Kobayashi asked a guy with a loud voice to start questioning.
"The Eight Banners Cavalry of the Empire, Colonel Obama of the Red Banner Cavalry Regiment!"
Let me go, this is the Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment, which is an independent establishment of the empire. It is also one of the few high-ranking members of the empire. It is a private knights regiment run by the baron in Manhattan, America.
It can be said that the Eight Banners of the Song Empire was a very 'transcendent' existence.
Although President Kobayashi is a Japanese. And he has only served the empire for a short time, but he has already inquired a lot about some things about the empire through his own means.
??Especially, for some things in the Americas.
For example, he is very clear about the existence of the Eight Banners Army in the empire.
Furthermore, he also knew about the Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment of the Song Empire. Its soldiers are all golden-haired and blue-eyed barbarians from Europe.
And these golden retrievers of Europe??We yearn for the Empire's Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment very much, and everyone is proud to be able to join the Empire's Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment.
After all, the Imperial Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment has good benefits and high remuneration. At the same time, it is also because those who can join the Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment are also people who are absolutely loyal to the empire.
(Example of successful brainwashing)
It can be said that the people of the Imperial Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment are absolute idiotic Empire fans.
In order to maintain the honor of the empire, they can all devote their lives.
From another perspective, isn¡¯t this the imperial version of Bushido, or even 2.0?
Because of their loyalty, because of their brain-dead loyalty, the Imperial Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment has a very transcendent status.
It can be said that he was a confidant of the empire¡¯s top officials.
Therefore, when President Xiaolin heard that the heavy cavalry that appeared was actually one of the Empire's Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment, he immediately rode out in front of the formation, looking at the man with a flattering smile on his face. The leading knight.
The reason why President Kobayashi reacted like this was not only because of the identity of the opponent, but also because of the powerful combat effectiveness shown by the heavy cavalry just now.
You must know that the Japanese have great respect for the strong and powerful people.
¡°The performance of Obama and the others just now was very strong.
In previous battles, people like Obama dared to charge tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops with only five to six hundred men.
"This is very brave in the eyes of the Japanese."
From another perspective, President Kobayashi himself has also thought that if he were in such a position, it is obvious that he would not be able to do this.
It is precisely because of this relationship that President Kobayashi had such a reaction.
"President Xiaolin has met your Excellency!"
Facing President Kobayashi, Obama raised his hand to lift his visor and nodded slightly as a signal.
This reaction seemed a bit arrogant, but President Kobayashi didn't take it seriously.
Instead, President Kobayashi got off his horse and walked towards Obama with a slight bow.
At the same time, President Kobayashi¡¯s expression looked much more humble. How humble.
"It really opened our eyes to the bravery of the adults. You are indeed the pillar of the empire. Please allow me to express my highest respect to you and the knights under your command."
After President Kobayashi walked in front of Obama and the others, he immediately bowed 90 degrees, and flattering words flowed out of his mouth like the Yellow River overflowing.
"Glory belongs to the empire!"
Faced with the compliments and flattery of President Kobayashi, Obama raised his sword high. shouted loudly.
"Uh huh! Glory belongs to the empire!"
The knights behind him and around him all echoed.
This is not because Obama and others did this intentionally, but because of the brainwashing of the country. As long as the empire and Zhao Hongyu are mentioned, they will have such a subconscious reaction.
But it¡¯s precisely because of this that it proves the empire¡¯s success in brainwashing them, doesn¡¯t it?
? If this is not the case. The empire does not dare to use such people, let alone form the Imperial Eight Banners Cavalry Regiment.
"All glory belongs to the empire, and the fruits of victory will be captured by us and then dedicated to His great Highness. We are the sword in His Highness's hands and the spear of the Empire to expand its territory."
Obama, who was deeply brainwashed, talked ramblingly for a while and then set his sights on President Kobayashi again.
"You performed very well in the battle just now. I will truthfully report their performance to the superiors."
"Obama doesn't know how to use polite words. Europeans say whatever they have deep in their bones.
"Everything is for the empire!"
After a short period of contact, President Kobayashi also understood what kind of words these people like to hear.
So, he followed suit and did this.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Obama, the leader of the knights, showed a satisfied smile.
"General Zhou's reinforcements will arrive soon. The enemy still has full strength, so we cannot stop the attack. We must catch up and eliminate them."
Obama knew that Mang Gurtai and the others had fought hard. It still retains a lot of vitality.
Therefore, he suggested to President Kobayashi.
As for whether President Kobayashi listens or not, that is not a matter for him to care about.
Anyway, Jay Chou's reinforcements will arrive soon, and the enemy is unlikely to retreat too far.
Therefore, it is destined that they will be eliminated.
After hearing this, President Xiaolin quickly weighed it in his mind. Also judged the current situation.
So, he quickly made up his mind.
"Follow your orders!"
That is to follow Colonel Obama¡¯s suggestion and the entire army will continue to pursue Mang Gurtai and the others.
President Kobayashi¡¯s response made Obama feel better about him.
Um. The obedience of the Japanese is still very good, which is not a little higher than that of European soldiers.
It seems that His Highness¡¯s strategy of attacking Japan and asking the shogunate to cede Kyushu is very worthy of admiration.
"If His Highness hadn't done this, how could there be soldiers with such good obedience?"
It turns out that there are still some people in the empire who don¡¯t quite understand Zhao Hongyu¡¯s attack on Kyushu.
Because in their view, Japan was just a remote place with nothing worthy of invasion by the empire.
But now these people understand.
Your Majesty, the reason for this is to have a source of cannon fodder.
At the same time, the quality of Kyushu soldiers really amazed these people.
Obama is one of them.
Although they are all brainwashed people, and they are also very brain-dead.
But on some points, they still have some ideas of their own.
