Under the cover of the shieldmen of the cyan flag team in front, Matsuda Kenhide directed the two flag teams to move forward continuously, stepping across the farmland at their feet, and neatly headed towards the Ming army's formation. He didn't know who gave the order to launch the attack in advance, whether it was the military order of General Ujitaka or Ashigaru General Kuninori Inomata's emergency response, but this order was undoubtedly correct.
The Kamigawa River in Odawara Castle could not completely block the fulu artillery, and the same was true of the Guanzhong jungle summoned by the priests in front of the military formation. In just a moment, the cannonballs made holes one after another, and more and more vines and branches were broken. , interrupt, the holes exposed are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more shells are passing through. Sitting in formation and waiting is waiting for death, and attacking them is the best way.
The queue has arrived under the vines, and the procession is a little scattered. Including Matsuda Kenhide himself, several battle-experienced Hatamoto stopped the team here to make slight adjustments.
Several huge vines were smashed down by the Ming army's artillery shells and swept across the air, instantly carrying several ashigaru away. When those ashigaru screamed in the air, they were hit by a few on the vine wall. The petals of an exotic flower were wrapped in it, and there was a clicking sound. The petals did not open, and a series of blood dripped from the gaps between the leaves.
This is because the demon vines were stimulated by the cannonballs and began to go crazy. Even the priest who summoned them could not control them.
The eight banner teams finished reorganizing and continued to move forward. They passed through the gates that had just been opened under the vine wall. Matsuda Kenhide's helmet was caught by a branch. Seeing that he was about to be swept away by the branch that came over, he hurriedly Holding on to his helmet, he drew his knife and cut off the two branches that rolled over, and then he passed safely.
After the banner team's formation crossed the vine wall, there was a hell-like scene in front of them. The huge mountain ghost emerged from the ground again, waving its mace and roaring in front. Countless wild boars emerged out of thin air and charged forward wildly. After being destroyed by various magic weapons and talismans of the Ming army, he fell down and turned into carrion and soil.
? Sections of sudden walls of fire, whistling cannonballs, long arrows of French crossbows, as well as shooting ice edges, long grass that specially curls around people's ankles
Matsuda Kenhide was transferred to the South Island to fight for two years, and he was well-informed. However, he had never seen such a huge Taoist battle scene before him. Not only did the Yingzhou priests try their best, but the opposite Ming Ming Jun's response also made him feel cold in his heart.
We have nearly 70,000 troops and 1,500 priests. The opponent's total military strength seems to be less than 10,000. How many monks can there be? How do they do this?
Suddenly, there was a loud sound that shook the heart and lungs from behind. All the ashigaru couldn't help but shrink their necks and shorten their bodies. When they looked back, a violent explosion of flames was burning in the center of the thickest vine wall. , in the burning flames, streaks of lightning danced wildly on the vine wall like snakes. All the vines crawled by the lightning withered and fell down, and one-third of the huge vine wall was destroyed.
There was a burst of cheers in the Ming army formation. This was the result of monks using the Five Thunder God Talisman.
The two small cannons on the high base lowered their muzzles and aimed at the approaching Hojo military formation. Matsuda Kenhide couldn't hear the sound of the cannon, but he could clearly see a cloud of smoke ejected from the muzzle, and he immediately prayed in his heart, hoping that his life would be good.
Two artillery shells flew over, one passed over Matsuda Kenhide's military formation, fell and smashed a wild boar into pieces, and then took away the two legs of another wild boar; the other artillery shell just crashed in, from The fourth flag's main team passed through and found a bloody alley, taking away six lives in an instant.
There were sword lights circling in the air again. This was the sword cultivator in the Ming army's formation using his flying sword. During the battle with the Qingqiu Army, Matsuda Kenhide had seen too many swordsmen, but he didn't take it seriously. There were priests and samurai who caught the flying swords, and it didn't matter to his subordinates.
Buthe suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head, and subconsciously dodged to the side. A flying sword passed by his neck, leaving a trail of blood on his ear. Then a human head flew over, but it was the warrior killed by the flying sword.
In Matsuda Kenhide's field of vision, the Hojo family samurai who were roving soldiers in front had already taken the lead in fighting the Ming army. The Ming army's main formation remained motionless. The monks who came out to fight were monks who knew Taoism. However, these monks were different from the Qingqiu army. They were in groups of five, advancing and retreating together. They cooperated tacitly, and often rushed forward to achieve success. Take away one or two of the Hojo samurai, kill them quickly, and then continue to take away the next one.
After only a few glances, Matsuda Kenhide felt that it was difficult to deal with it - as expected, as Mr. Quan Gongji said, the main army of the Ming Dynasty was not comparable to the Qingqiu Army.
The front line began to run faster, which was a signal that contact with the Ming army was imminent. Matsuda Kenhide looked past the ashigaru in the front line and saw the Ming army array more than ten feet away. Observed at this distance, it is very clear. The Ming army was motionless, everyone was tightly covered in red heavy armor, and even the face shields were equipped with copper shields.?Arrived every sergeant. They were like a cold iron man, indifferent in the face of their own fierce assault.
For a moment, Matsuda Kenhide felt the chill rising, but he had already rushed in front of him and there was no way he could retreat!
He raised the sword high in his hand. Under his command, the ashigaru of the second and third flags lowered their spears from their shoulders, held them straight forward, and accelerated their sprint.
The cyan flag-bearing unit covering the front stopped, and Matsuda Kenhide shouted: "Assault!"
The two spearmen of the Hata Division raised their spears and rushed forward suddenly. The tip of Rulin's spear passed over the shield hand and stabbed out from above their shoulders!
??A streak of brilliance rose from the armor of the Ming army on the opposite side. In Matsuda Kenhide's stunned eyes, the Ashigaru's spears were blocked by the brilliance and could not penetrate anyway.
The Qingqiu Army did not have rune heavy armor. This was the standard equipment owned by the elites of the Ming Dynasty. Matsuda Kenhide had never seen it before, so he didn¡¯t know what to do. This scene made his mouth dry, and his only thought was to pray to the priests. Cast spells quickly to break the Ming army's sorcery.
But how can "witchcraft" be cracked so easily? All the Yingzhou army could do was to hope that the warriors would kill the Ming army monks who blocked them as soon as possible, and let the warriors take action against these cursed armors.
Or, pray to the priests to find a way to make the Ming army's armor malfunction.
The priests are indeed thinking of a way, but unfortunately before they can think of a way, the Ashigaru Legion must bear the heavy losses that follow.
The rear troops of the Ming army surrounded them from both sides. Groups of armored red men thrust their spears in row after row, knocking the ashigaru to the ground row by row.
The Fulu artillery on the high base fired non-stop, sending shells one after another across the battlefield at high speed, twice repelling the opponent's follow-up force. After being defeated, it extended again, jumping in and out of the array behind the Yingzhou Army. Take away every living life.
