open sea

Chapter 432
"Baked fire arrows?"

Kobayakawa Takakage could no longer sit comfortably in the central army, he walked quickly to the high ground of the army formation, squinted his slender eyes and tried his best to look at the place where the field battle was fought.

The so-called Baulao is actually a pottery grenade. Because the Wujing of the Northern Song Dynasty always called this kind of weapon an "iron iron cone", the name was inherited. However, this kind of weapon is often used for water warfare and city defense, and Kobayakawa Takakage has not seen it yet. Excessively used for field combat.

Moreover, the range is too far, almost at the same level as the longbow. Takakage Kobayakawa was active in the Seto Inland Sea, and he is very familiar with naval weapons, so there will be no mistake for the baker, which makes him eager to wait for the defeated army to escape. Ask clearly.

Long Jing, the real ruler of the Maori Clan, wore a big armor head and a big bag that was the mainstream of the last century, and was equipped with very old-fashioned equipment. He pointed to the battlefield with his arms folded, and analyzed the situation to his generals. Although the situation was not optimistic, his tone was very relaxed, and he said: "Our army is doomed. We are hit by the enemy's firearms, and the formation is scattered and attacked. There is only a hopeless way to be killed by the enemy one by one."

"The enemy army is fighting with long and short weapons? The long soldier that blocks the battlefield is called a wolf trap. I heard that it was specially made by the Ming Dynasty to restrain the pirate Nodachi." Kobayakawa Takakage tried his best to see clearly, but it was still in vain. Curling his lips, he said with regret: "The Hu bandits' army is well-organized, and if we go into battle again, if we still fire the fire first, remember to restrain yourself lightly, and don't panic."

"Let the subordinates disperse first, and form a dense formation after the enemy's firearms are released. They can't bring too many such things!"

"This battle will be a bit difficult, but it's harmless. I think they are short of troops, and they won't have enough food and grass. They can't attack the city, and they are unwilling to retreat. They don't dare to attack rashly." Long Jing no longer wants to see how Kou Yuchunliang is doing. When the army was defeated, he walked back to the main formation and said: "The worst result, it will only take three or two days to attack them for a while. We know that the Hu thieves have firearms and iron cannons, so they are not easy to fight against."

In Japan during the Warring States period, it was difficult to find a person with a big-picture strategy, even if it was a relative big-picture strategy. After all, one side of the country and the other side of the people have their own ideas for survival.

But the Maori family is one of the samurai families with the overall strategic soil. They have the most land and the most troops. To lead such a huge family, the daimyo needs to focus on everything.

Long Jing is not a daimyo, but he has power similar to that of a daimyo. He said: "It's hard to win cleanly, just drag them here, drag them here under the mountain blowing city, without the help of the Ming army, my brother will be able to win within three months." Kill Nizi's family."

"That unwilling deer must kill him."

Takakage Kobayakawa's elder brother is Motoharu Yoshikawa, the number one warrior of the Mori clan without a single defeat in all battles, he was the one who defeated the Niko family, and he was also the one who suppressed Shikasuke Yamanaka's revival of the Niko family, and he has never lost.

As for the victory or defeat of Haruyoshi Kouha, no one cares about it anymore. General Xian Zuo was sent out to win in the past, but facing the Ming army that had never fought before, the vanguard was only sent to see the enemy's tactics, so as to prepare for future battles. gain an advantage in.

All of Kobayakawa Takakage's deployments were the most correct and beneficial choices, except for one thing that was missed.

Regardless of whether he informed Kouha Haruyoshi or not, the fierce general Amano Takashiro, who had defeated Otomo's offensive several times in the Nagato country, had been appointed before the battle to lead his troops. Even if the situation was not a deadly battle, it would be beaten into a deadly battle.

In fact, no matter which country, normal battles are rarely fought to the death, and the purpose of the battle is never to kill them all. Losing [-] to [-]% of the combat power is enough to make the formation disperse.

Especially in Japan during the Warring States period, farmers and soldiers rarely fought to the death. Those who could fight to the death were samurai.

It's as if Chen Bazhi doesn't feel sorry for the hundreds of people killed in the banner army, but if he suddenly kills hundreds of people in his artillery team, he can fight people to death without hesitation.

But there was a personal exception in Japan during the Sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga, known as the Demon King, who fought to the death.

The most difficult problem facing Kouyu Chunliang was that Dalong didn't have several times the number of troops, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to.

Usually there is room for war, but that's just normal. The order General Wang received this time was to kill all of the seven or eight hundred people.

"Send small flags and arrows to the enemy's flanks!"

The soldiers followed the order, and while the flag was flying, two small flag arrows exploded on the left and right sides of the enemy's flanks, blowing back most of the ashigaru who were about to retreat back into the formation.

For the ashigaru who have broken up in the battle and have become a habit of fleeing, there is nothing terrible about failing to fight against an invincible enemy. What is terrible is that they want to run and refuse to run!

"Two hundred households on the two wings left the gunners behind, and led the troops to retreat to the left and right. When the enemy pursued, they released small flags and arrows to force them towards me!"

"All the musketeers retreat, led by their respective general flags, and form a square formation about [-] steps behind our formation!"

"Don't dare to fight with me? If you don't fight, you have to fight!"

In order to keep this group of enemy troops who had lost their formation before the battle, Wang Rulong tried his best. He even ordered the blunderbuss team to avoid the enemy's command center when they fired their blunderbusses, that is, Haruyoshi Kuchiha running around in the formation with a knife. .

There was no engagement at all, the wolves under his command were exhausted, and the enemy did not dare to step forward to engage in combat. A few small flags and arrows blew up the enemy's formation, which he did not expect. These looked like The Japanese soldiers of the regular army are obviously inferior to the organized Japanese pirates, and far inferior to the Japanese pirates.

Regardless of pirates or Japanese pirates, they are all chosen by nature to complete the separation of soldiers and farmers, with their heads on their waists, and they will die if they don't fight desperately. Farmers and soldiers are different.

Just as Zhang Yongshou's guards were unable to defeat the miners, peasants and soldiers who were not out of production and trained were not much more powerful even if they were equipped with weapons.

The confused Ashgaru who was hit by the small flag arrow was finally boosted by Kouha Haruyoshi, and then he was scattered by the bird gun rounds. Back and forth, you can see a general wearing a big bag and wearing imperial armor. Dao ran around in the formation, wherever he went, Ashigaru would be driven towards Jie Xiaozhen, wait for him to go far, and then retreat.

As early as when he was following Qi Jiguang to suppress the Japanese, Wang Rulong summed up a set of skills to recognize Japanese generals in a chaotic battle. If there are Han Japanese Japanese generals, the Han people must be the generals. If there are no Han generals, it depends on which Japanese general has the most conspicuous armor color. It must be that the main general didn't run away.

Haruyoshi Kouha saw it in his eyes and was anxious. He still didn't understand what the formation of the Ming army was. He only knew that the powerful iron artillery team was guarded in the middle. Several volleys broke up the formation.

The clay figurine still has three points of fire. If he is injured by an iron cannon, he will be mighty enough to retreat. When the iron cannon is fired on the opposite side, twenty or thirty of his subordinates will die. But like the Hachiman Bodhisattva possessed, he avoided all lead.

It's not that he has no chance to escape, but he can't escape like this!

I don't have any wounds on my body, not even a drop of blood, and my subordinates are light but dead, and they can still fight less than 300 people. Except for shooting arrows, I don't know how many enemy troops don't even have a chance to fight hand-to-hand.

Retiring like this is really insulting to the family name!

Kouyu Haruyoshi, who was anxious to get angry, could see it. He gathered the lower-level warriors in the formation and shouted: "The Hu thief didn't intend to let me go back alive. Today I only have this life to be loyal to my lord Maoli. Please change me!" Entrust your life to me with the wild sword, and rush into the enemy's formation with me before you die!"

"Every ashigaru team, we have resolutely died. The enemy has not left us a way out. Anyone who has courage should follow us to die!"

More than a dozen five-foot long knives were distributed to the warriors. Haruyoshi Kuchiha took the lead to hold the knives, and a group of samurai stood in a row holding the knives. Behind him, the encouraged Ashgaru also formed a line of dozens of people, accompanied by Haruyoshi Kouha. Shouting, everyone shouting the name of their own family, dancing five-foot long swords and rushing towards the mandarin duck formation!
　Good morning!
