The iron cannon ashigaru that Lu Sihai refers to is actually the Japanese name for musketeers. After the Portuguese brought muskets to the Japanese country, the Japanese lords attached great importance to this new weapon, and soon the formalized muskets were born. Soldiers, and played a big role in the just-concluded Japanese Warring States Period!
Although the Japanese daimyo valued muskets, due to limitations in resources and tactical thinking, bows, arrows and spears were still their main weapons in combat. It was precisely because of this that when Lu Sihai saw an army of all musketeers, It seems a little incomprehensible!
Hayakawa Yukichi bowed beside Lu Sihai and smiled: "I don't know why Akito made such a stupid choice, but their iron cannons can only shoot fifty steps, but our bows and arrows can shoot one hundred and fifty steps." , it seems that after this battle, your Excellency will not only receive money from the Zhou family, but also more than a thousand iron cannons, I would like to congratulate you in advance!"
Lu Sihai smiled slightly, but it didn¡¯t mean anything, he just ordered: ¡°Tell those idiots to pass on both sides of our army, otherwise they will be shot to death!¡±
"Yes!" A messenger immediately responded, and then waved a flag to notify the Japanese pirates!
Soon someone in the Japanese pirate formation also raised a flag and ordered the fleeing bandits to bypass the formation!
But the bandits didn¡¯t know the meaning of the Japanese pirate flags. When they saw someone waving the flag, they thought they were letting them pass quickly, so the bandits immediately accelerated their already heavy pace and rushed towards the Japanese pirates¡¯ main formation!
Seeing that the bandits did not listen to the orders and came directly to their own formation, Lu Sihai just snorted coldly. The messenger next to him immediately waved the flag and ordered the Japanese pirates' formation to fire arrows!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
With a neat sound of bow strings vibrating, the five hundred archers in the Japanese pirate formation shot the arrows in their hands!
The bandits who originally thought they were about to be rescued, did not expect to be greeted by a rain of arrows like locusts. They were completely defenseless, and more than a hundred people were shot over in an instant!
Yang Xiong originally rode ahead with several bandit leaders, but when someone in the Japanese bandit waved a flag, Yang Xiong felt something was wrong, so he quietly fell behind. Because of this, he was not shot like several other bandit leaders. Got the hedgehog!
This time, the bandits were completely confused. The Japanese pirates in front obviously didn't want them to pass. The officers and soldiers behind started to beat the drums again, pressing towards this side like a mountain. They were like mice in a bellows, heading that way. Running away is a dead end!
"Run to both sides, run to both sides!" Yang Xiong survived, and he didn't forget about the bandits. He shouted a few times and took the lead in speeding towards the side of the battlefield!
The bandits had no backbone. When they heard Yang Xiong¡¯s shout, they immediately reacted and followed Yang Xiong without hesitation. However, they never expected that a hungry wolf was blocking their escape!
After receiving Cao Ling's order, this guy Geslen quietly moved to one side of the battlefield with his men. He now has an army of soldiers and horses under his command, and more than 1,400 horses left!
When Gesleng saw from the telescope that the bandits were being beaten up by both sides, he knew what Cao Ling had asked him to do on the side of the battlefield. Fortunately, Yang Xiong led the bandits and ran towards him!
"Hahahaha!" Geslen raised his binoculars and looked at Yang Xiong's gang of bandits. He smiled so hard that his molars were exposed. He shouted loudly: "Cheer up, I'll wait until Lord Cao's military order comes out." , let¡¯s go harvest those lambs¡¯ heads!¡±
Before Gesleng could finish his words, the messenger beside Cao Ling had already raised a red flag. Gesselen held the telescope and looked at the flag without blinking!
It wasn¡¯t until the bandits left the battlefield that the flag waved downwards. Geslen put away the telescope, drew out the saber from his waist, and shouted: ¡°For the glory of your majesty!¡±
More than 500 cavalrymen under Geslen drew their sabers at the same time and shouted in unison: "For the glory of your majesty!"
¡ª¡ª
Two thousand war horses galloped forward with unstoppable momentum. When Yang Xiong and the bandits saw the scene in front of them, they were completely desperate. They were too tired and could no longer run!
Many people even knelt straight on the ground, hoping that the officers and soldiers rushing over would spare their lives for the sake of their surrender!
But they were overthinking it. Two thousand war horses galloped, and no one could control the situation. Even the cavalrymen under Gesleng were just dragged through the bandits!
Fortunately, Gesleng¡¯s men are strongMost of them are Mongolians and Jurchens, so they are naturally good at controlling horses. Because of this, they will not completely lose control of their horses!
Before the horses rushed into the battlefield, Gesleng and his men forcibly drove the horses around a corner, and once again waded through the group of bandits who were already staggering!
All this was seen by the generals of both sides on the battlefield, but no one cared about the life or death of the bandits. Now Cao Ling and Lu Sihai were focusing on each other.
For Cao Ling, the real battle has just begun. The five thousand real Japanese pirates on the opposite side are far more powerful than the gang of soy sauce bandits just now. He must use 1,500 people to kill the five thousand people on the opposite side!
For Lu Sihai, although the sight of the two thousand galloping horses made him feel a little irritated, he knew very well that the opponent only had two thousand people, and the fifteen hundred people on the opposite side were the main force. As long as these fifteen hundred were If the enemy is defeated, then even if the opponent still has 500 cavalry and 2,000 horses, he will definitely win this battle!
With the footsteps of the soldiers, the distance between the two sides on the battlefield kept getting closer. When the distance between the two sides was 400 steps, Cao Ling ordered the army to stop advancing and prepare for battle on the spot!
However, Lu Sihai still ordered his Japanese pirates to keep moving forward. It seemed that he was going to push them over in one go!
One hundred and fifty steps!
This is Lu Sihai's goal. In his opinion, as long as his Japanese pirates advance within the range of the bow and arrow, he will win the battle, because the opponent only has 1,500 people and they don't even have shields. There is no way to advance a hundred steps against the rain of arrows!
But Lu Sihai didn¡¯t know that his thoughts were not hidden from Cao Ling, and Cao Ling even had a way to deal with it!
"Your Majesty once said that it was not muskets but artillery that drove bows and arrows out of the battlefield. Today I will help Your Majesty verify how much space bows and arrows have in front of artillery!" Cao Ling said to himself with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Said coquettishly!
"Order the artillerymen to fire at 250 steps. First knock out the enemy archers. After firing all the shells, immediately go to Gesleng's place to pick up the war horses. Order Gesleng to keep an eye on the Japanese pirates on the slope. If I run away, I will kill him!" Then Cao Ling issued the order!
After the messenger left, Cao Ling said to the secretary beside him: "According to His Majesty, this will be an epoch-making battle. The weapons and tactics of the new era will versus the weapons and tactics of the old era. The two sides will definitely collide with brilliant sparks. , and those of us will leave a mark in the annals of history because we participated in the battlefield battle!"
Cao Ling's words can be said to be completely imitating Zhu Youxiao's tone, but he is right. As a cavalry commander, today he is about to fight an epoch-making battle for infantry!
It is no exaggeration to say that starting from today, the history of human war will be completely divided into two eras, the old and the new! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
