Facing the rushing Houjin cavalry, Governor Kobayashi once again ordered his Kyushu soldiers to form a turtle shell formation for defense.
It¡¯s not that President Kobayashi didn¡¯t know that the other party had a way to crack it, so he still insisted on doing it. But facing the current situation, he only had this defensive method.
After all, the Kyushu Army is all infantry, so it is still at a certain disadvantage compared to Mang Gurtai's side.
If he arranges his 10,000 Jiuzhou soldiers in a normal combat manner, then it won't take long before they are defeated by Mang Gurtai's side.
Therefore, although the turtle formation has some weaknesses and shortcomings, it can allow them to support Mang Gurtai's attack for a period of time.
Of course, President Kobayashi will do this because he knows that the reinforcements are not far away and will arrive here in a short time.
In other words, President Kobayashi is confident.
This time, Mang Gurtai and the others charged very fiercely. The cavalrymen of the brigade charged in a very organized manner, with great momentum but not at all chaotic.
President Kobayashi knew at a glance that this was definitely an elite one.
Leading the front was a team of about a hundred cavalry. Two cavalrymen pulled a large spherical object together and rushed towards the Kyushu Army who formed a tight formation.
Mang Gurtai's tactics have been used against them once before, and the effect was very good.
Although the Kyushu Army's turtle shell formation has strong defense, there is still no way to deal with the stone balls with strong impact and inertia caused by the pull of the cavalry.
"Hold on! Our reinforcements are almost here. As long as we can entangle the enemy, victory will definitely belong to us!"
at this time. President Kobayashi kept loudly encouraging his subordinates.
When the Houjin cavalry in charge of the stone ball rushed to the front of the formation and were still dozens of steps away, they released the ropes in their hands, and then galloped towards the two sides.
They just let the stone balls rush towards the Kyushu military formation under the inertia of the previous pull.
This time, Mang Gurtai spent a lot of money and basically used all the stone balls he brought.
After all, this is an effective method for the Kyushu Army, and of course he will not use it.
More than forty stone balls, if they collide together like this, will definitely create a big hole in front of the Kyushu Army's formation.
Most of the Houjin cavalry followed closely behind. As long as the stone ball in front knocks open the Kyushu Army's formation. Then they can rush in.
By then, the prospects for the Kyushu Army will not be good.
In this regard, President Kobayashi has a very clear judgment.
After all, in the later stages of the first battle. Mang Gurtai used this method. Breaking through the Kyushu Army's defense.
"If it weren't for Obama, they would suddenly come out. If the Hou Jin army was disrupted, Hou Jin would be able to cause great damage to them at that time.
"Sir, we can't let it go! I'll lead people over there. Use manpower to block those stone balls!"
A samurai stood up and said something to Governor Kobayashi, and then quickly ran to the front of the military formation regardless of whether he received a response from Governor Kobayashi.
"Now is the time for us warriors to sacrifice their lives. Let us use our bodies to block these stone balls and win the hope of victory for our companions and the army!"
After saying that, the warrior rushed towards the rolling stone balls.
It is of course impossible to block a stone ball with strong inertia using human power.
Therefore, the fate of this general is destined to be very tragic.
However, he inspired some strange factors in the bones of those Kyushu Army soldiers.
The so-called bushido and the spirit of dedication finally came into play at this moment.
Go!
Hundreds of soldiers in the front row, holding explosion-proof shields, rushed forward. They each formed several small teams and rushed towards the stone ball closest to them.
Of course one person cannot stop the stone ball, but when there are more people, it will become different.
"I never imagined that these Kyushu people would actually use this method to block those stone balls."
When Obama saw this scene, he couldn't help but murmured.
A bearded companion beside him raised his hand and opened his visor first and responded: "Although this method is a bit unusual, you have to admit that it is very effective. Look, aren't those stone balls already blocked? ."
Sure enough, within Obama¡¯s sight, more than 40 stonesAs expected, it stopped not far from the Kyushu military formation.
Although those Kyushu soldiers lost hundreds of lives, it has to be admitted that they used such crazy methods to stop the stone ball.
Although the loss of hundreds of people was huge, it was more cost-effective than letting the stone balls destroy the formation and allowing the Houjin Cavalry to easily charge in and start the massacre.
"There is a kind of crazy factor in the Japanese people's bones. It seems that we need to report this to His Highness. I think His Highness will make a decision. But I think if the Japanese people use it well, it will also be very beneficial to the empire. "
The performance of the Kyushu Army attracted Obama's attention and deep thought.
At the same time, it also allowed Obama to see the madness hidden in their bones, and caused some worries.
What I have to say is that these brainwashed European warriors of the Empire¡¯s Eight Banners Knights, all their considerations now are on the side of the empire¡¯s interests.
It can be seen how successful the empire¡¯s brainwashing is.
"Let's move too, otherwise we will also suffer when the enemy army arrives."
Obama urged the war horse under his crotch and started to move to the other side.
As Obama moved, the cavalry under his command also began to follow him.
Yes, their heavy cavalry stopped outside the Kyushu Army.
Facing the charging Hou Jin army, if they stay here motionless, then waiting for the Hou Jin cavalry to charge over will obviously put them in a disadvantageous situation.
Therefore, only by taking action will it become more advantageous.
This is also a way to preserve yourself.
Obama and the others moved. The three thousand light cavalry arranged by Mang Gurtai also moved quickly.
This light cavalry is specially used to deal with Obama and the others.
"Come on! Rush! Rush over here!"
"Master Baylor! Our stone ball has been blocked by the opponent. If we rush over like this, we will inevitably suffer a lot of losses."
Snapped!
Mang Gurtai raised his hand and whipped it hard on the face of the general who persuaded him.
"I will destroy them even if I pay some price!"
Mang Gurtai had made up his mind, and the generals who were charging beside him were shocked.
Because everyone knows Mang Gurtai¡¯s character, but anything he decides is difficult to change.
Well, since the master has said so, what can they do as slaves?
It¡¯s just that more people died in the battle. The master doesn't care, so why should they care.
therefore. No one said anything anymore.
Go!
The cavalrymen of the brigade rushed past the stopped stone balls and rushed over from the gap between the stone balls.
At this time, soldiers came up again in front of the Kyushu military formation, making up for the vacancy of the previously dedicated soldiers.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A sharp spear. There are streaks of cold light blooming in the sunshine. It was blinding all of a sudden.
Poof! Poof!
The cavalry in the front row. The body was pierced by a spear, and then the second cavalryman was pierced This time Mang Gurtai and the others were also ruthless.
"Don't stop! Keep charging, I won't be able to defeat them!"
Of course Mang Gurtai also feels sorry for the loss. But he understood that as long as he persisted, he would be able to eliminate these enemies with only a few thousand casualties.
And, if not, what else can he do.
The enemy¡¯s formation is as difficult as a hedgehog, so it¡¯s impossible not to pay some price.
At this time, the spears in front of the Kyushu Army's formation had turned into human candied haws.
The soldiers holding the spears could no longer hold the spears because there were so many human bodies on them that they became heavy.
Fortunately, there are spearmen in the rear, who make up for their shortcomings.
President Xiaolin¡¯s brows frowned, and he understood the enemy¡¯s intentions.
¡°Obviously, this is going to be piled up with appointments.
It seems that this method has some effect now.
As the number of corpses increases, the enemy's charge becomes stronger and stronger. The pressure on the front has become very great, and sporadic enemies have begun to rush into the formation on horseback.
Although the enemy cavalry that rushed into the formation sporadically were all eliminated.
But one thing is obvious, that isThe situation is starting to become a little unfavorable for our side, isn't it?
But it doesn¡¯t matter, you just need to drag the other person along.
The square battle formation allowed Mang Gurtai to only choose one direction to attack.
It can be said that he concentrated all his strength on one point to defeat it.
This idea is correct.
Of course, Mang Gurtai did not forget to suppress the other two directions.
In this way, President Kobayashi will not be able to mobilize soldiers from both sides to reinforce the front.
As for the rear, although there is no enemy attack, President Kobayashi is still unable to mobilize troops.
Because once the troops are mobilized, if the enemy tries to take advantage of the situation, he will be caught off guard.
On the other side, Obama's heavy cavalry regiment began to get closer and closer to the three thousand light cavalry enemies in the same direction.
Their battle is about to begin.
The situation is now beginning to look a little unfavorable for the empire, and President Kobayashi¡¯s face is tense and serious.
"Sir, we should take the initiative to attack. If we continue to defend passively like this, we will eventually be defeated by the enemy."
Yes, they have been in a passive defensive situation from the beginning of the war to now.
This is very disadvantageous.
Because if they don¡¯t take the initiative, their defense circle will eventually be breached by the enemy.
President Kobayashi shook his head at the suggestion of his general: "No! We have to stay here and reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we can delay the enemy, victory will definitely belong to us."
As soon as President Xiaolin finished speaking, a desolate horn sound came from behind a small dirt bag not far away.
?????????????????????????
Immediately afterwards, rows of teams wearing red uniforms, standing in neat rows and marching in unison, appeared from behind the small bumpkins
Looking back, President Kobayashi smiled when he saw this team appearing.
"Our reinforcements are coming!" (To be continued)
