Swallow Back

The Sakuma family's army advanced at a slow but steady pace.

Liu Yun swung his knife to kill two dog-faced bull-horned monsters who were trying to attack from behind, and then found that there seemed to be little use for them.

Imagine, if you are facing such a well-trained and well-equipped team, you probably have nothing to do.The densely packed hedgehog-like gun array is absolutely impossible to break through, the salvo of the iron artillery is extremely deadly, and there is no way to solve the army leader in a short time by attacking from behind.

Then it's only natural that monsters can't handle it.

Even if the ghosts in Kyoto can be resurrected continuously within the magic circle in Kyoto today, it seems that they can't stop the Sakuma family's army from supporting Nobunaga to break through.

The "Long Ship Chang Guang" in his hand seems to be a little depressed now.Maybe she prefers to drink the blood of the enemy and listen to the screams in the sea of ​​corpses, rather than standing behind the side and rear to cover the gun formation and iron cannon group.

Liu Yun did not satisfy the sword demon's desire.

After all, there is no need for this.

……

"Is it the Oda family's reinforcements? It's still here..."

Suddenly, a loud noise like a thunderbolt came from the sky.

In the demon fog above Kyoto, a round and chubby human face was revealed.

There was an inexplicable smile on this person's face.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Everyone was subconsciously attracted to it, looking up at the sky.

Soldiers forgot to press on and officers forgot to give orders.

This really can't be blamed for their lack of concentration, but the situation is too weird.

In the dense fog condensed over the capital, a chubby human face appeared.

How should this matter be explained?

It can only be said that the powerful monster boss is doing evil!

But according to the word of mouth of the Fusang population, shouldn't the powerful monsters who can do this should have been sealed by the Buddhist sect led by the holy monk Jianzhen hundreds of years ago?

Seeing such a strange thing, no matter how well-trained the army is, it is inevitable that people will panic.

then--

Even stranger things happened.

The round human face above the monster mist smiled and then gradually disappeared.

Then many shining white things fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at it from a high place, there are only dots the size of raindrops.

It fell down in an instant, only to realize that they were all solid balls at least one foot wide!

When the ball hit the crowd, there was a loud "bang" immediately, the ground shook and the mountains were shaken, the flesh and blood were bloody, and people died when they touched it.

Couldn't even make a scream.

Then in the white light, the ball shattered and shattered, and a strange monster emerged from it!

Is it raining monsters?

The samurai, onmyoji, monk, and archer reacted and tried their best to stop the uninvited guest from the sky, but they were a bit slower in the end.

The Sakuma Army's previous victories were not due to the martial arts of human soldiers, but the formation discipline and division of labor.

Now that the white ball is dropped, the situation will change dramatically.

Many soldiers were directly smashed to death, and many monsters appeared in the crowd, and then immediately swung their fangs and claws to kill wantonly.

Whether it is the long-handled ashigaru or the iron cannon ashigaru, they all wear light leather armor that does not affect the movement of the limbs, and they only carry simple short knives for self-defense, and most of them are not used in daily life, so they will not deliberately practice.

Suddenly being approached by a monster, how can there be a chance to draw a sword to resist?

Unable to react at all, they were killed one by one.

After screaming again and again, the team immediately loosened up.

The monsters who had been suppressed all the way and were helpless in the face of the gun array and iron cannon suddenly became arrogant again.

Chapter 175 How Humans Deal With Monsters

The physical strength of most human soldiers is unable to fight against monsters.

This is almost the common sense of Fusang.

The Sakuma family's well-trained army of more than a thousand can suppress hundreds of monsters by relying on queue discipline and weapon matching. This is a victory of civilization and wisdom.

However, once it turned into a melee, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse.

The ball of white light fell from a high place and fell into the crowd, like a meteorite from the sky.

Or a more prepared analogy, a bomber dropping a bomb.

Perhaps because it does not have guidance technology, the accuracy is not very high.

There was a big splash, and most of them landed in nearby houses or open spaces. Even if it exploded and turned into a vicious monster, it was not enough to become a threat.

There were even some very unlucky ones who landed obliquely above the spear array, were passively pierced, and died instantly.

But after all, there are enough numbers, there are always ten or twenty of them, who can just slip into the crowd of people everywhere.

Wherever it went, the soldiers were immediately crushed to death-this was the next best thing.

The key is that the ball bursts quickly, and strange monsters emerge from it, wielding their fangs and claws to slaughter the crowd.

The dense formation of long spears and the iron artillery group firing in volley in turn quickly collapsed.

Bold and fearless soldiers drew their daggers to fight the monsters, and died heroically without accident.The timid soldiers turned their heads and fled in all directions, ignoring the supervision of the chief and the accountability of the military law.There were also those who were at a loss and froze in place, and were slaughtered before they could react.

Although the Kyoto monsters are somewhat organized today, they are still a mob after all. They can only be regarded as bandits and robbers. Before, they were beaten into a mess in front of a mature army, and they could only retreat steadily.

However, the gun quilt cannot be maintained now, and the iron cannons cannot be fired in salvo.

Therefore, the monster who has the absolute upper hand in physical fitness can make a comeback with a roar, giving full play to its innate advantages.

The situation reversed in an instant.

The giant spears with a length of four and a half to five meters cannot be used at close range, and there is no threat if they are not arrayed.The iron cannons of the sixteenth century were even more inaccurate. Unless they lined up and fired in salvo, the hit could only depend on luck.

Once the formation is loosened, it is just a game of mowing grass for the monsters.

The fangs and sharp teeth tore apart the light armor of the soldier like cutting tofu, and the carapace can turn the space of the soldier's dagger into nothing.

A few tall and fierce beast-shaped monsters took the opportunity to rush in, like a skilled old farmer stepping into a wheat field with a sickle.

The ashigaru soldiers were cut one after another like leeks, and turned into bones in an instant, with blood and flesh splashing everywhere, screaming endlessly.

As the chief general, Nobuei Sakuma was so anxious that his face was red and his ears were red and his eyes were full of anger. He raised his big gun and shouted "The gangsters will follow me to kill the enemy and must not retreat" and then rushed forward with a feverish head. countermeasures.

Then Xixiu, the old temple of the family, did not move his expression and pulled it quietly, using his body to block the young master behind him, and led the team to charge with a knife.

The ashigaru from a peasant family can gain discipline and courage after receiving sufficient logistical support and certain training to form an indestructible formation.But in the chaotic hand-to-hand battle, it is absolutely impossible to match the professional warriors who have studied killing skills since childhood and are armed to the teeth.

Veteran generals who have experienced the battlefield know that the key to all frontal battles is to try to let one's own samurai break through the opponent's ashigaru formation, and at the same time protect one's ashigaru formation from being broken by the opponent's samurai.

Once it is the first to be broken through, the best strategy is to withdraw the troops immediately, withdraw the troops to stop losses, keep the casualties at the level of ashigaru, and avoid the sacrifice of important members.

Fierce monsters will only be more powerful and lethal than ordinary warriors.

But what if it is out of an irrevocable situation?

Then you can only invest your own core elite forces and put all your eggs in one basket.

Rescuing Oda Nobunaga, this is obviously an "inevitable occasion" for the Sakuma army.

Therefore, Nobuei Sakuma would have the urge to go to battle in person, which cannot be explained as a simple fever.

Jialaosi Xixiu took the place of the "young master" and led the warriors into the collapsing formation to resist the wanton monsters.

The ashigaru still fell one after another, but the situation became a stalemate.

Some samurai, such as generals such as Tera Nishi Hideno, with a blue light shining all over their bodies, obviously also possessed supernatural powers, and could bravely draw their swords to kill monsters to the ground.More samurai fell into a pool of bones and blood due to their disadvantaged battles, but at least they could sustain a few moves so that they would not be cut off like leeks.

Sakuma Shinei immediately calmed down after being pulled.

He realized that his father was still intoxicated, and if he made a mistake, the morale of the troops would inevitably fall to the bottom.

The son of a daughter can't sit still, so don't put yourself in danger easily.

however--

Seeing the samurai directly under him fall down one by one, Nobuei Sakuma's eyes were red, he was both sad and angry, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"Those are my family's good friends!"

He couldn't even bear the pain and howl.

He didn't care about the death and collapse of the ashigaru, but he felt very distressed about the loss of the samurai directly under him.

The two are completely different.

Even the elite ashigaru who are worthy of great responsibility can be mass-produced in the eyes of the lord.As long as the farmers are strong and courageous, they will be given generous food, clothing, food and clothing, standard equipment of qualified quality, and two or three years of training and actual combat experience.

But the samurai is different.

At least there must be some [-] or [-] anti-land servants in the village to be able to let the offspring get rid of the agricultural property, and provide the most basic material guarantees to meet the needs of concentrating on martial arts.As for looking for famous masters of swordsmanship, buying precious armors and sharp blades, taking rare tonics, hiring bodyguards to accompany them...that is a bottomless pit within a bottomless pit.

It takes more than ten years of accumulation from a child with a yellow mouth to a hair in Yuanfu, and finally becoming a warrior who can be the backbone of the battlefield.

It is the so-called "Ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people".

Once there is too much damage in a certain battle, there may be no chance to recuperate and recover.

Moreover, in addition to the military elite, the core samurai retainers also have to undertake the heavy responsibility of grassroots public security, financial and tax management, which is the tentacle of the daimyo's penetration into the people.

Oda Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, had been defeated many times in joint battles, losing thousands of soldiers, but his skeleton still remained, and he recovered within a few years.On the other hand, the Imagawa family of Suruga only lost two to 3000 people in Ozazama, but the head of the family and a large number of core samurai were killed, and the decline was exacerbated immediately.

Nobuei Sakuma's heart would bleed every time he saw a retainer he knew fell down.

He tried his best to use the healing spells he learned from the tea ceremony, hoping to minimize casualties.

The Sakuma family has about [-] shi Zhixing, but the core direct retainers are only a hundred people, and now there are [-] or [-] dead at one time, which can be described as tragic.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and as the time gradually approached the morning, the other two divisions under the banner gradually entered the arena from the city gates in other directions.The Kyoto Enforcement Office also assembled 2000 people according to the method Mrs. Guidie said.

Reinforcements have finally arrived.
