Beiyang new warlord

"Go back and tell Nabeshima Jinsong that he must carry me until noon. If he dares to retreat, all the territories promised to him before will be voided, and all the territories of the Nabeshima family will be confiscated. Tell him that even if the Western Army is defeated today , I, Mao Jue, can still do it!"

The samurai who asked for help couldn't help being stunned by the murderous response, and was stunned for a few seconds before he kowtowed abruptly.

"Hay!"

As he ran back in a hurry, there seemed to be a desperate wailing sounded on the west mountain.

But without Mao Jue's ability, with about 9 people on the two wings, facing a full of 20 troops, they were already crumbling and retreating steadily, but stepping on a cannon, Mao Jue's eyes were still moving forward. Looking dead.

Chapter 291. Sanada Assault

If the entire battlefield was viewed from above, it would look like two huge human beings superimposed on each other. Under the pressure of the heavy shogunate wings, the Western Army's wings retreated a full two or three miles, and they were already pressed to the top of the hill behind them as a barrier.

The third hour of the war.

"The gun team presses on!"

His voice was almost hoarse, and there were three or four arrows hanging on his body. General Nabeshima Shinmatsu hissed and shouted with all his strength. The Japanese gun slammed down fiercely, and the shogunate samurai who hit the intersection from the side of the smash fell to the ground one after another. This made Mao Juejun's tactics that had suffered in the battle of Yunmu Mountain temporarily relieved the crisis of the camp being breached. .

However, before the Nabeshima family samurai could breathe a sigh of relief, the shogunate iron artillery team opened fire suddenly again. Amidst the crackling gunfire, the Kyushu samurai rolled over and fell from the wall of the moat that was piled up more than one meter high. down.

On several bow and arrow towers, regardless of the soreness and swelling of his shoulders, the bow warrior gritted his teeth and pulled the bow again. However, there were two more cannon shots, and the large cylinder that was lifted to the front suddenly burst into flames. Amidst the creaking and breaking sounds and the screams of the archers, they slammed into the formation of the shogunate army.

The Nabeshima family is not bad, but the Shimadzu family's position has completely fallen into the final hand-to-hand fight at this time, and it is covered in blood. Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's eyes are blood-red.

The head of the branch family, the head of the family, is now in a state of death! He has fallen from the peak of his life again. The head of this daimyo who has risen for less than half a year has become numb. That last tragedy.

With a bang, the knife of the opposite Banmoto samurai flew away, and the sawtoothed blade slashed into the samurai's neck, sawing it open violently, a stream of hot blood sprayed all over the armor, but before the swordsman of the Shimadzu family took it The knife was drawn out, and behind him, the sound of crackling iron cannons rang out again, and he staggered, directly knocking Shimadzu Mitsuhisa to the ground.

"Quick! Get the head!"

I have been staring at him for a long time, holding up knives, more than a dozen Tokugawa samurai rushed over excitedly, seeing that the right wing of the Western Army was about to be breached, this is also the first important daimyo of the Western Army to die here, unexpectedly, the top of the mountain There was also a clearer, but sharper gunshot from above.

Puff puff puff ~ The body was almost shot through, and none of the warriors who rushed up could run away. They glanced at the flintlock guns in their hands with some differences. Immediately, Governor Yuan threw the gun and snatched the flag, and personally slammed the flag. next wave.

"attack!"

In order to restore the front line, the Dongjiang reserve force of the right army still had to take action.

It is said to be a reserve force, but the training time per month even exceeds that of many regular soldiers of the Ming army, and as long as there are men in the family who are willing to contribute, they will hardly go hungry in Dongjiang, although their physique is not as good as that of the regular soldiers. The regiment is so perverted, but the 7000-man force is like a tiger descending the mountain, advancing while shooting, and the bayonet sees the red, driving the turbulent and exhausted Mito Tokugawa army down.

It's really brutal. Amidst the sound of the blood hole, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa was stunned, and all the Tokugawa soldiers around him who wanted to come to take advantage of it were all knocked to the ground by the bayonets who had made him gnash their teeth. Banner was first hit by a bayonet on his knee and knelt on the ground, and then a bayonet was pierced into his chest, shoulders, thighs, and waist one after another. The shrill screams made the Satsuma lord feel chills in his heart.

It's just that the momentary victory didn't make Yuan Chonghuan happy. When he planted the Dongjiang flag on the ground, he looked around with a stern expression, then turned his head and ordered.

"It's deep enough. If you consume more of the daimyo's military power, you won't have the power to fight back. Pass on my military order and light up the smoke! Notify the general!"

"Sign up and obey!"

Just like the Spartans, the whole people are well-trained in martial arts. They gave a military salute on one knee, and immediately the reserve corps led the firewood sprinkled with iron powder, and a puff of red wolf smoke floated into the air particularly strikingly.

The Chinese Army, this formation.

"General! Light up the wolf smoke!"

Lying on the table, Mao Jue, who was about to fall asleep, was suddenly shocked by the loud voices like car horns. He was so shocked that he almost sat down on the ground. The thick man's excited big eyes stared round, he yawned sadly, glanced at the small western clock, rubbed his eyes and muttered.

"So early, if it's the wolf smoke lit by the right army, I know it's Lao Yuan, some Japanese people, they die as soon as they die, so why worry!"

"Cough cough!"

There was a continuation, Mao Liying coughed twice with her small mouth curled up, causing Mao Jue to turn her head away again.

"I've eaten chili peppers! Marry a chicken like a chicken, marry a dog like a dog, you know? You are from Lao Tzu, and you are also from Dongjiang, what are you getting so excited about?"

A small face was flushed red, Mao Liying drooped her little head, which shocked Fu Gang, and Mao Jue stretched out his hand suddenly in anticipation of his subordinates who dared not breathe.

"Get my helmet!"

Wen Meng almost ran and bumped to take off the phoenix-winged helmet from the armor frame, and Kong Youde couldn't wait any longer, and ran and bumped out of the tent.

"The general has orders, let's go out! Little ones!"

The generals of the Dongjiang group are simply war-thirsty! Amidst the bright howls, the Dongjiang regiments, who had been suppressing their hearts and waiting anxiously for a whole morning, were also impatient. They jumped out of the trench one after another, shouting and charging forward.

In the morning, they were fully armed for [-] miles. What is this mile?

"Fat Master! Fa Master, that damn old man!"

The saber was swung like a chicken, and in Wenmeng's ugly male voice, the first regiment who ran and fired was like shooting a target in a school field, knocking down all the Yoshida family warriors who hadn't recovered from their senses.

It was a one-sided massacre. The Yoshida family had fallen into a state of collapse even before the entire Dongjiang army came out. The crude position they dug directly became their cemetery, and they could be seen everywhere. The scene of personal bayonets being pierced like rain, and the screams were almost horrific.

Who let the masters of Dongjiang watch the bustle all morning?

It's just that the defeat of the Yoshida family was like a bird of good news flying to the shogunate. Inaba Masakatsu ran over in ecstasy and shouted hastily.

"General, great news! Dongjiang Mao Jue finally made his debut!"

Compared with Mao Jue, who was sleeping on his stomach, he was much more dedicated to his work. The Tokugawa family immediately moved the binoculars down from Dongshan Mountain, and looked around excitedly. After a long time, they slapped the armrest suddenly.

"Okay, Mao Jue has fallen into the trick, pass on the order to withdraw the troops!"

It is no wonder that the officials of the shogunate were excited. At the beginning of the summer battle in Osaka, the situation was similar to the current situation. The force was only about half of the shogunate, but Sanada Yukimura was known as the number one soldier in Japan. Under his violent attack, the shogunate army suffered heavy losses. Tokugawa Because Ieyasu ordered his banner troops to retreat [-] miles, Sanada had few soldiers, and he had to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu if he wanted to win. Therefore, it is said that Sanada Yukimura entered the Tokugawa formation more than a dozen times. In the end, they suffered heavy losses under the pincer attack, and were finally surrounded by Anju Shrine, and the whole army was wiped out.

Now that Inaba is winning, Aoyama Xingcheng also intends to use this move to deal with Mao Jue. The shogunate retreats and lengthens the Dongjiang Army's offensive front. , The soldiers and horses are not killed or injured for a long time, and the thick wings can easily crush him like a millstone.

"Back! Back!"

This method of warfare is well-known in Edo, and those mother-in-laws and bannermen are simply excitedly dragging their battle flags and walking backwards.

But is Mao Jue really that easy to deal with?

Just as the Tokugawa family was chatting and laughing and retreated for tens of meters, a heavy shock came suddenly and overwhelmingly, and a group of mothers turned their heads in astonishment, and immediately, their faces turned ashen.

At that time, Nobushige Sanada was only a cavalryman away from success!

The animal husbandry industry in Japan is not large, so there is no successful cavalry tactics. Even Takeda Chibei and Echigo cavalry are nothing more than a combination of high-level samurai on horseback and ashigaru infantry, which is similar to tank tactics. The Japanese samurai who once defended the Mongolian army in Kyushu were easily beaten by Kublai Khan's army. The shogunate, which lacked large-scale cavalry cluster tactics, could not think of tactics to deal with large-scale cavalry cluster charges.

This weakness was clearly seen by Mao Jue during the last Edo raid, so when he returned to Dongjiang, the first thing he did was to expand the cavalry.

The Dongjiang cavalry team, the Jeju Island cavalry regiment, the cavalry post of eight regiments, and more than 800 Shandong cavalry, plus a piece of Mao Jue's cavalry, there are a total of [-] cavalry.

Even when the shogunate army crossed the river in chaos these days, Mao Jue was not willing to expose the cavalry, just for this beheading sword.

The defeated generals of the Yoshida family were not even qualified to stop and kill the cavalry regiment, let alone stop them. They were stunned, and the nearby Fujido Takafuge and Matsudaira Tadaaki's troops had no time to return to defense, and watched helplessly. The cavalry group rushed towards the main town of the shogunate at a crushing speed.

"Banner team, let's fight!!!"
