Chapter 475: How to Break the Big Barrel Bombardment Array


A huge Polu warship sailed on the cold and lonely Sagami Bay with the help of the northwest wind and a clipper ship on the left and right half a mile each.

Lan San, the current captain of the Gao Xianzhi, is currently on the deck looking anxiously toward the northeast.

After the great battle with the Japanese navy, Lan San finally got his wish and was promoted to the captain of the Tang-class battleship Gao Xianzhi.

However, the Gao Xianzhi and the Black Teeth Changzhi were sent back to Shidao to garrison.

This was what made Lan San the most unhappy. .

Now, according to Lan San, a veteran of the Polu Army for eight years, promotion is the most important thing.

Although Shi Dao is a hot bed for his wife and children, as a general, promotion means a bright future.

This time, Zhang Gusheng, the commander of the Shidao fleet, sent three of his warships to Kamakura, Japan, and they must personally deliver the letter to the commander-in-chief Zhao Lie.

From this incident, it was also seen that Zhang Gusheng valued Lan San, so Lan San did not dare to be careless and walked quickly.

Fortunately, one of the accompanying clippers had been to Sagami Bay to explore, so we did not delay our trip and sailed directly to Kamakura in the north of Sagami Bay in the vast sea.

The closer we got to Kamakura, the more anxious Lan San became.

After all, the conductor Zhang Gusheng's anxiety was evident at a glance.

This was rarely seen from this young boss.

Therefore, although Lan San did not know the content of the letter, he did not dare to neglect it. , I hope to arrive as soon as possible so that I can hand over the letter to Master Zhao Lie.

A black line loomed in the far northeast, and Lan San felt happy.

It was land.

It seemed that Kamakura was coming.

At this moment, a shadow of sail rose in the sky opposite, and it turned out to be the soft sail of Galen's ship.

Lan San immediately ordered preparations for war.

After all, the shogunate navy had Galen battleships and could not be careless, although it was more likely to break the patrol ship of the main navy of the Lu army.

Several miles closer, Lan San took a look and saw that they were indeed two Polu warships, a patrol ship and a Tang-class warship.

The eagle head fluttering on the opponent's mainmast was clearly visible in the telescope.

When the name of the ship was also reflected in the telescope.

Lan San couldn't help grinning with joy, because this ship was the Duan Zhixuan, and its captain was Zhang Huan.

Haha, the two of them haven’t seen each other for several months.

It's really rare to meet them now in Sagami Bay.

When the two met and passed each other on the sea, Lan San and Zhang Huan said hello.

Now, unlike the past, the scene of running and dancing after a long separation was replaced by a formal military salute between the two.

What Lan San said is serious.

Zhang Huan immediately asked the patrol ship to continue patrolling the sea, and he turned the bow of the Duan Zhixuan and sailed toward Kamakura together with the Gao Xianzhi.

At this moment, drums and trumpets were blaring and flags were waving in the fields a few miles southwest of Yokohama.

Tens of thousands of people were approaching from the north and south.

After today, this place will definitely be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Of course, the wilderness here is not bad now.

Refreshing.

Riding on several tall horses, Ii Naotaka, Doi Toshikatsu, and Hotta Masamori were looking at the enemy formation.

Of course, the so-called tall horses were compared with Japanese horses.

If they were the opposite horses, forget it.

They were surrounded by a large number of flag bearers and guards, as well as the Tokugawa family's horse seals and flags.

There are dozens of flags of their respective official positions and vassals.

They are really impressive, with the demeanor of the shogunate's general and deputy general.

But now the three of them frowned and looked at Akito's military formation opposite.

Large plumes of smoke and dust were rising, the horses' braying resounded throughout the fields, and the black and red crowds were beating and advancing towards the shogunate army.

The running of tens of thousands of war horses made them feel the earth trembling even though they were miles away, and the thunderous sound of hooves struck their hearts.

What surprised them most was that the opponent's cavalry was arranged in an extremely orderly manner.

To put it bluntly, the formation of the horses was even more orderly than that of the shogunate's ashigaru army.

It was simply unbelievable.

It can only show that the other party is indeed a strong enemy.

Of course, the neatly arranged soldiers lacked toughness, and many did not dare to fight bloody battles.

Therefore, Ii Naotaka and Doi Toshikatsu were not too surprised, but the opponents were all cavalry, which was too difficult to deal with.

"Lord Ii.

It seems that the best thing is to mobilize all the iron gunners to the front row.

If the iron gunners can break up the Ming army's cavalry, the ashigaru and cavalry behind will take the opportunity to break in.

Once they fight in close combat, our army will definitely win this battle. win."

Doi Toshiki suggested.

"Well, what Mr.

Doi said is absolutely true.

Iron gunners are indeed a good way to deal with cavalry.

The spear ashigaru behind them should also follow up, so that they can destroy the opponent's cavalry in one fell swoop, and then the cavalry on both wings can take advantage of the situation to cover up the kill. ” Naotaka Ii made a decision with one word.

The four generals, nine generals and more than forty ashigaru generals around him all bent down to accept the order.

Their movements were standard and graceful, reflecting the good waist and abdominal strength that the Japanese people had cultivated since childhood.

The general made a decision, and all the subordinates began to implement it.

Numerous messengers shuttled among the various teams with flags on their backs, which was dazzling for a while.

Zhao Lie, Li Lu, Han Jian, Guan Ming, Wang Haizhou and others were also in front of the formation watching the shogunate's army heading east.

The shogunate army reorganized under the command of flags and horns, and Zhao Lie and his party were a little dazzled.

Although the Japanese on the opposite side were slightly more numerous than the Polu army, they were not much more.

But the number of flags can be ten times.

The flags of the shogunate and several senior officers have dozens of flags, and the subordinate generals and generals below have their own flags, as well as the flags of various daimyo who participated in the war, and the daimyo who participated in the war.

The flags of the generals and the flags on many soldiers were so dizzying that it was almost impossible to distinguish the enemy's instructions.

After Zhao Lie was dazzled, he didn't look at these flags at all.

He just watched the changes in the opponent's troops.

Sure enough, after a while he found that the Japanese's four thousand cavalry were deployed on the two wings, while the iron cannon ashigaru and the spear ashigaru were moving closer to the center.

Well, the standard formation, the cavalry protects the two wings, and the infantry is in the middle.

Moreover, the Japanese general was extremely smart.

He formed a formation close to the city, with the main camp behind him, waiting for the Polu army to attack, but his own army did not attack first.

This avoided the Ming army's cavalry from being besieged on all sides, and allowed the Polu army to be the sharpest. weapons become ineffective.

Well, there are two brushes.

After all, the Japanese commander-in-chief is a shogunate with a samurai background, not a bookworm from the Ming Dynasty who only knows how to read and not fight.

Zhao Lie nodded, he is also an old soldier.

If you deal with ordinary cavalry, the formation of the shogunate army is good, but when you encounter the cavalry of the Polu army and Jiannu, no formation is enough.

They were all killed in bloody battles, and cannot be competed by the shogunate army that has been in peace for a long time. .

"The general decided to use artillery to blast out the enemy troops.

The infantry in the middle fought each other, while the cavalry on both wings took advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack.

Defeat the Japanese cavalry," Zhao Lie made a hammering gesture with his left and right fists.

"In addition, tell the gunners that the iron gunners in front of the Japanese must be blown away.

This is the Japanese's special skill.

As long as they are defeated, this battle will be won."

Everyone suddenly accepted the order and rode back to their own teams.

When the Polu army formation was still two miles away from the Japanese formation, a dull horn sound came.

The soldiers of the Polu Army stopped.

A large group of Polu Army soldiers in the middle suddenly dismounted from their horses, and then a large number of horses were led away, and all the Polu Army soldiers began to form a team under the orders of General Qian and Bai Zong.

Ii Naotaka, Doi Toshikatsu and others looked at the movements of the Ming army suspiciously.

When they were about to take over, the Ming army suddenly stopped and abandoned the cavalry battle and changed to an infantry battle, leaving them confused.

After more than a hundred breaths, a huge red and black military formation neatly spread across the opposite side stood in front of them.

From the opposite side, it looks really horizontal and vertical, with all the soldiers standing upright.

Just this kind of power surprised the Japanese.

Ii Naotaka had already determined that the Ming army on the opposite side was a powerful enemy.

It’s really hard to say whether we will win or lose this time.

At this moment, bursts of singing came from the opposite side, making Ii Naotaka and others look at each other.

You heard me right, singing in front of the battle, what is wrong with these Ming soldiers.

But as the songs in the opponent's formation became louder and louder, the sadness, anger and unity in the songs could be heard even if they couldn't understand each other.

Everyone hurriedly called for the interpreter, who stammered and translated.

Crazy with hatred, he points the sword at him.

How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign land, . . . . .

Why would you die to serve your family and country?

. . . . .

Eyes filled with blood and tears . . . . .

The majestic China wants to congratulate everyone from all over the world.

This is a war song, a war song that unites the morale of the military, and also explains their identity.

There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty army will congratulate them from all over the country.

A few people frowned and said that this war song was arrogant.

It was true, but when the enemy sang it, it really united the morale of the troops and increased their combat power.

They can only lament that this Ming army has so many tricks and emerges in endlessly.

At this moment, the front line of the Ming army suddenly opened, and dozens of carriages drove out from behind, with objects wrapped in blue coarse cloth dragged behind the carriages.

After these carriages ran out of the rear formation, they were placed in front of the Ming people's formation one by one.

Then some packages were dragged out by the carriages from the rear formation.

At this time, Ii Naotaka had a splitting headache.

Akito was changing one after another, and he could only guess, unable to cope with it.

Just now, Akito's cavalry changed into troops, and the war song boosted morale.

What was this being dragged out?

He really yelled at me and it was not over yet.

At this time, the Ming army's formation began to merge from behind and regained its order.

Then, under the gaze of more than 20,000 Japanese people including Naotaka Ii, these blue coarse cloth wrappings were removed, revealing the true colors of the objects inside.

Naotaka Ii heard a hissing sound, and he didn't know if it was from him or Toi Toishi who was beside him.

Who could care about this at this time.

Therefore, these objects turned out to be big tubes, big tubes.

Nowadays, Otsutsuki in Japan are mostly used for city defense or on ships.

Because they are too heavy, they are useless for marching in the field.

On this trip, Ii Naotaka brought ten small bronze cannons imitating the Franchise machine, intending to fire them when engaging in battle.

Shotguns injure the enemy.

But that one can only hit less than a hundred steps.

However, the large barrel of the Ming army in front of them weighed three thousand kilograms and could definitely be driven two or three miles away.

Naotaka Ii suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Doi Toshikatsu in horror.

The two of them understood with one glance what General Mingjin was thinking.

The intention was to break up the Japanese military formation and then take advantage of the chaos to break the formation in one fell swoop.

They figured it out, but as for the countermeasures, they discussed it for a long time and found that there was no way to break it. s: Thanks to ayvu, wt4190, Wu Zi Lai for the valuable monthly ticket rewards, thanks to the game player, Chang Zhao, Sanhuan Young Master, Jinghong 2016 for the 100 rewards, thanks to Kuaiji Shanren 007, Colonel for the rewards, and other old friends I won’t describe them one by one
