Almost at the same time, suddenly there was a "cracking, clanging" sound from another place, followed by a terrifying scream.The nearby people waited and watched, but did not see the shells, but the two rows of carbine guns in front of the formation had already damaged a gap, and several bamboo and wood fences behind also collapsed, and wood chips were knocked everywhere.Several archers died, and those who survived were screaming loudly on the ground.
Because the fog in the morning had not cleared, the sight was not very clear, and the Japanese soldiers could hardly see the Ming Kou at this time, and could only vaguely hear the noise of people and horses nearly a mile away.Before the people of the Ming army saw it, the tragic scene of casualties of Japanese archers was in front of them, and a terrifying atmosphere quickly appeared in the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
In the center behind the army formation, a group of people guarded the Hosokawa family.He was wearing two knives and sitting on the bench holding a fan, and his expression seemed to be dignified.
There was a sound of horseshoes in front of the formation, and the wandering cavalry of the Ming army shouted something while chasing the Japanese cavalry.Those loose rangers of the Ming army might have come to see if the shells hit or missed.
After a while, the sky flickered with fire, and a moment later, the sound of "rumbling" guns rang out.Iron balls like hailstones flew obliquely on the ground, and the crowd on all sides seemed to be bombed, and the voices of people and horses were roaring.
In front of Hosokawa's army, the array of bows and arrows spread out like arms, carbine guns, and fences were in a mess, and many people were turning around and retreating.The shells also fell into the infantry formations in the middle, and the crowd was scattered in many places. The horrified shouts and painful groans were like howling ghosts.
After a short interval, the second round of shelling came again.Those ashigaru with spears ran around.The samurai on horseback brandished Japanese swords and screamed and cursed in all directions.
Then, the cannonade finally stopped for a long time.But the Japanese soldiers did not know when the bombardment would come again.
At this time, people have roughly understood the situation of Ming Kou's shells. When they hear the sound of the shells, those who are unlucky are finished; so many people are staring at the distance ahead, waiting to see the terrifying death. fire.As for what can be done knowing in advance that the Ming Kou fired the cannon, no one seems to think about it. Maybe the only advantage is that they can be prepared before death.
After a long time, the flames flickered again.The noise of shouting in the Hosokawa Army's position suddenly grew louder.
A Japanese soldier wearing a pointed bamboo hat bowed his head and grabbed the wooden spear in his hand with both hands.He watched helplessly the accomplices not far away whose heads were broken and bloody and bloody, and those who were not hit by the shells were also frightened and ran away.This soldier also wanted to run, but the shells missed his team. Everyone was very panicked, but they didn't dare to run away without authorization.
Soon, when the "rumbling" sound of thunder came, the soldier felt that the ground seemed to shake, but he didn't see it clearly, and suddenly felt that a shell had landed nearby.Sure enough, deafening yells sounded afterwards, and the soldiers in the crowd didn't even understand where the shells landed, and the people around were in chaos. In this situation, the soldiers turned around and started running around without hesitation.
"Bastard!" Suddenly someone scolded, "Don't run, line up!"
"Ah..." There was a terrified cry from the front, and there was a vague "crack" sound of a knife being chopped on the bamboo and wood, and then there was no sound.The chaotic crowd gradually stopped, and the people behind rushed up and suddenly became very crowded.A few warriors rode over, waving their long|swords and continued to yell, "Let's line up before we go."
The sound of the cannons has subsided, and the Japanese troops everywhere have begun to retreat to the north.Countless people are evacuating the messy battle formation.
Finally, a man on horseback came to this side, "Hosokawa is in command, and all the troops are taking refuge northward. Counterattack and stand by, and those who leave the team without authorization and escape, beheaded!"
A group of horses and horses walked more than 100 steps. At this time, people saw countless carbine-repelling guns and arrow formations built of wooden piles and hard bamboo in the north.The Japanese army was very deep, and after the Hosokawabe front army on the left wing retreated, there was still a position behind.
At this time the cannonade sounded again in the distance to the south.The former units of the Japanese army had long been separated, most of the shells were bouncing in the open space, and occasionally some shells fell into the crowd, and there was inevitably another burst of hissing and screaming.
So far, the Japanese soldiers began to retreat almost before they saw the Ming army's brigade.The morale of the army is inevitably low, and the shadow of failure has enveloped the people.
Near a large army moving north, a samurai asked the general on horseback: "The end of the world may have come. When the country is subjugated, what should you do?"
The general said: "A farmer is still a farmer, and 'servant' is still a servant?"
The footsteps of the Ming army came from far away in the south, "Kacha Kacha..." one after another
The frequency of the sound was very fast, and the infantry of the Ming army was running in small steps, chasing them in columns.When the Japanese soldiers looked back, they could already see surging figures and iron helmets.
On the land in the southeast, there was a black mass of people and horses, which seemed to be the cavalry of the Ming army, but those horse soldiers were leading the horses and walking slowly in the distance.
Soon the messengers of the Hosokawa Clan came on horseback. Those messengers waved their flags and shouted loudly: "The front battalion of the left wing stops retreating northward and counterattacks southward!"
A general of the Japanese army looked back at the team and saw that all the departments were a little loose. He stopped a general who was riding a horse and asked, "Why did the governor issue such an order?"
The general who sent the order said: "The Ming Kou on the left will not continue to pursue the Hosokawa army. Because the Ming Kou in the middle has already started to attack, the Spo army in the middle will be attacked from both sides! The Ming Kou infantry will come forward, and there will be no more shelling. Up and down, in this battle!"
"On board!" A large group of people in the distance shouted crazily at the instigation of someone.
On the northern position, reinforcements from the Hosokawa army also lined up.Near the left (east) front battalion abandoned by the Japanese army, more and more troops were moving towards the center.
The infantry column of the Ming army was mighty on the plain, but the total strength in the west might be only a few thousand.The Japanese generals saw the scale clearly, and new hopes were rekindled.
There is a village between the two armies, and a team of one hundred households of the Ming army is running in a column.As the team approached, suddenly some Japanese archers appeared behind several earthen walls.The archers walked out of the corner and immediately aimed at the Ming army.
The sound of "cracking" was heard, and immediately a Ming army musketeer shouted, and the two people who were hit by the arrow squatted down.
The Ming army lined up dozens of steps away was noisy, and they quickly changed their formation to form a horizontal line.At this time, the Japanese archers had just raised their heads and set their bows and arrows. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and the Japanese archers trembled all over, screaming and fell to the ground.But other archers stood up again, taking advantage of the gap between the Ming army's team change, quickly drew their bows, aimed and released their arrows.
At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the side of the village, and a group of Ming army gunmen rushed up from behind.The two samurai outside the house pulled out their Japanese swords, waved them yelling, and greeted them with a few ashigaru.However, the heavy infantry of the Ming army had shields and armor on their bodies, and their team shrank into a dense formation, and soon stabbed the rushing Japanese soldiers to the ground.
Some archers ran out of the village, but immediately there were flashes of firecrackers not far away, and several archers screamed and fell to the ground.
The various Japanese soldiers and horses surging southward on the ground have obviously been discovered by the Ming army.The Ming army in the distance is gathering queues to form a square formation.
And countless Japanese infantry were still approaching from all over the battlefield, and the shouts kept rising and falling, and many people shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor".There were many flags in the Japanese army. In addition to the family emblems of the Hosokawa family, there were also some flags written with Chinese characters and gesturing characters. "The martial arts will last forever" and so on, all of which were slogans of the samurai family.And the army from the Kamakura government is another banner.
At this moment, the cavalry of the Ming army in the southeast mounted their horses one after another.The rough and vigorous sound of the bullhorn came from the sky, and the reckless chorus was very terrifying, like the howling of an evil spirit coming out of the ground; The sound of horseshoes was overwhelming, like an earthquake.
The cavalry of the Ming army ran faster and faster, rushing towards the left flank of the Japanese army in multiple columns, as if it was like a dark flood.Even with [-] cavalry galloping, the scene seemed to be so magnificent that it covered the sky and the sun.
The Japanese soldiers here watched the horses rushing in. Many of them turned pale and were frightened.
The Japanese army on the east side of the battlefield included the left-wing front battalion who retreated and counterattacked, as well as reinforcements from the rear battalion. The number was extremely large.But they did not form a large formation as a whole, because the terrain of this plain is not uniform, with paddy fields, houses, crop fields, and ponds; if the army wants to move in such a place, it is impossible to maintain a large square formation.
The cavalry of the Ming army was dispatched suddenly, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to organize a large formation for the time being.However, no one can tell whether the recent decisions of the leader Hosokawa Mitsumoto were wrong or not; no matter how he decides on the battlefield, there will be different dangers.
For the current plan, we can only fight hard on our own!
"The king of Han is our king..." The cavalry columns everywhere shouted in Chinese, and immediately began to speed up, and groups of horsemen swarmed away.Amidst the billowing dust, the tall black shadow rising up and down is like rolling steel, with an unstoppable momentum.Such a speed of movement is beyond the capabilities of infantry.
Chapter 8 Fourteen: Cherry Blossoms in Hakata (5)
The sound of "rumbling" horseshoes shrouded the air, and the shadows of black arrows were looming in the grayish-yellow dust, mixed with the sound of "swish".On the other side of the Japanese cavalry on pony horses, the horses neighed and people shouted.
A moment later, a cavalry of the Ming army rushed close to the cavalry of the Japanese army.There were constantly galloping Ming army horses passing by. Facing the slow Japanese cavalry soldiers, the cherry guns pierced the enemy soldiers' bodies condescendingly.The light of the knife flickered in the hazy sky, and there were screams everywhere.
"Hiss..." A Japanese horse was brushed by a cavalryman who was too close, and the pony fell to the ground abruptly. The horse struggled on the ground and kicked its hooves into the air desperately.The warrior on horseback has disappeared.
The cavalry of the Ming army passed by the Japanese horse formation one after another, beheading some enemy soldiers from their horses from time to time.More cavalry columns rushed forward one after another. After being penetrated by cavalry many times, the number of Japanese cavalry decreased sharply, as if swallowed by the horses.
A Japanese soldier struggled to turn over from the ground, and a white bone was clearly visible in the clothes of his right arm.He could only support his body with his left arm, staring round his eyes at the iron horses that kept coming, opened his mouth and yelled "Wow..." uncontrollably, and kicked the dirt with his legs on the ground.
A large number of cavalry of the Ming army rushed to the area where the Japanese infantry was active.The enemy's infantry were all standing in place, ready to resist. Facing the rushing horse herd, the infantry had no fear at all, and there was no possibility of re-mobilization.
"Split!" A cavalry general in front yelled, and the cavalry quickly separated into two paths, and charged obliquely towards the two wings of a Japanese infantry formation.
"Papa..." The longbowmen in front of the Japanese army first started to shoot arrows.Among the horses, some cavalrymen were hit by arrows from time to time, and those who did not stabilize their bodies on their horses quickly fell off their horses.
Some Japanese archers had just pulled out their second arrow when they realized that their accomplices could no longer stand the pressure of the rapidly approaching horses and turned around and started running away.The Japanese army seemed to have not recovered. After a while, there were many horse-riding arrows "swish" flying in the smoke, and the arrows in the archers kept screaming.
The samurai in the formation waved Japanese swords and yelled loudly in Japanese.Holding their spears, the ashigaru stood close to each other to face the cavalry, trying not to allow the Ming army to approach.
The sound of horseshoes was everywhere, and after a while, there was a commotion in the crowd of Japanese soldiers.The cavalry of the Ming army rammed straight into the crowd from the side and rear wings. The huge horses couldn't stop the impact and hit the flesh and blood of the people. The Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground were all bleeding from their heads and faces.
The neighing of the war horse was mixed with the terrified shouts of the people, and a war horse raised its front hooves high in the crowd.More iron cavalry pierced|broke through the chaotic and scattered crowd, and the cavalry columns were interspersed|interspersed from all sides, and the infantry formation on the Japanese side collapsed in an instant.
The Japanese infantry, who had lost the restraint of the establishment and officers, had little will to resist in the face of the terrifying scene of horses charging everywhere. Most of them were running away, trying to survive.
The multiple columns of the Ming army continued to attack the northwest, and the horses chased and passed the chaotic infantry.The cavalry was behind the enemy's deserters, just not far away, and they would sweep across with a knife, followed by screams.Some cavalry will also twist their bows and set arrows, shooting|killing the rebels within sight while rushing.
The eastern part of the battlefield was already in chaos, the sky was covered with dust, people and horses were surging, and the huge noise never stopped in people's ears.
