Before the enemy arrived, Matsumoto Qingguang first led about a thousand men of his own organization to the vicinity of the Han army.
The army is composed of ronin, men of the Matsumoto family, merchant guards, and civilians who want to make a difference.
Some were wearing armor and carrying sophisticated weapons, while others only had a broken knife or even farm tools.
"Your Majesty." Matsumoto Qingguang came to Wu Nian on horseback wearing gorgeous armor. Wu Nian took a look at the people he brought, and was not surprised. He said: "You go to Jinding Slope to form an array. When the few people defeat the Red Armor Cavalry, you will lead them down the hillside to surround and suppress the remaining soldiers of the Red Armor Cavalry."
"Yes." Matsumoto Qingguang also knew that his army was a mob, so he said nothing, responded readily, and rode off.
Then, he led the mob to the Jinding Slope in the rear and formed an array.
A rabble with no military discipline.
In the team, two ronin started chatting.
"Although the King of Han is brave and good at fighting, it is a bit arrogant to use two to three thousand infantry to compete with Fusang's famous red armor cavalry."
"What do you mean? Do you think the King of Han will fail?"
"The potential for failure is high."
"If you think so, why did you come to the battlefield?"
"Failure does not mean that the King of Han will die. If I can protect the King of Han and break out of the siege, wouldn't it mean that I have saved him? I am a ronin. Even if I join the army, I may only be a big soldier or a small officer. But If the rescue is successful, maybe I can become a thousand households, or even a general. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The conversation between the two made many people's eyes light up.
Yes.
With two to three thousand infantry, they faced five thousand red armored cavalry.
The odds were against him.
But the king of Han had rare things to live in.
This is an opportunity for everyone.
Matsumoto Qingguang's forehead was sweating, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people, but it is fatal for him.
He has successfully connected with Wu Nian. Not to mention the future glory and wealth, he will be rich no matter what. But if Wu Nian died in battle here.
His situation was dire.
"But we must win. Even if we can't win, we must survive." Matsumoto Qingguang thought to himself.
Soon after, the mob fell silent and looked up to the front.
It was already bright now.
The ground shook, and then a dazzling red light appeared on the horizon. The crest of the Toyotomi family and the crest of the Ii family appear on the flag.
A large number of red-armored warriors rode on horses and stopped not far from the opposite side.
A powerful aura that could suffocate ordinary people rushed towards him.
Except for a few strong men, most of the crowd standing on the Golden Cauldron Slope turned pale and looked at the red armored cavalry with fear in their eyes.
Red armor cavalry, northern warrior.
The two elite troops of the Toyotomi family are synonymous with evil spirits.
Especially the red armor cavalry. Jingyi Naobi was fierce and brutal, and wherever the red armored cavalry passed, there were ruins and broken walls.
It takes extraordinary courage to face such a prestigious elite force.
immediately. The mob turned their attention and fell on the Han army. Although the King of Han was also brave and good at fighting, his bodyguards were also elite troops.
But the number was too small.
Moreover, Naoki Ii is the second best general in the world, brave and good at fighting.
The Han army will probably fail.
But the King of Han cannot die.
Many people's eyes sparkled.
Under the banner of "Han". Wu Nian was not surprised to see the red armored knight stop. After traveling a long distance, the cavalry had to rest for a while.
He turned around and looked at his army.
Behind is Jin Dingpo.
Some wooden stakes were driven in front, left and right of the military formation, which played a certain blocking role. The ones at the front of the three directions are the shield soldiers and the divine arm archers. Then there are the heavily armored axemen, the heavily armored spearmen, and finally the archers.
They were all armored soldiers.
Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction, full of confidence in his Ouchi guards.
Moreover, the opponent is called the Red Armor Cavalry, but the armor is Fuso style. Compared with the Han army's armor, it was thin and light and had poor defensive power.
Compared to Wu Nian, the Ouchi guards were a little nervous.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not being able to protect Wu Nian. The King of Han who protected them.
In the red armor cavalry formation.
The second best in the world and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Toyotomi family. Naoki Ii wore a red armor and an oni mask on his face. The helmet had a strange and gorgeous shape, and the back part was decorated with white hair, which looked like a lion's mane.
He rides on a black horse and holds a large fuso spear.
The whole person exudes an aura like the sun. Ordinary people standing in front of him would feel trembling and even faint.
Second in the world.
A brave, fierce, cruel, and bloodthirsty man.
Jingyi Naobi looked at the Han troops in formation, a little surprised. Is there something wrong with Wu Nian's brain? His infantry did not rely on the houses in the town for defense, but fought with me on the plains.
Immediately, a raging fire burned in Ii Naoki's heart. This guy looks down on me. Look down on my red armored knight.
He clenched the Fuso gun in his hand and let out a roar.
"Warriors, the enemy is ahead. Whoever cuts off the head of the King of Han will be rewarded with a territory of 300,000 stones by the General."
"superior."
Say it. Ii Naobi clamped his legs on the horse's belly. The horse under him was in pain and made a squeaking sound. He flew out like an arrow while carrying him.
"Oh!!!!" The red-armored warriors roared excitedly when they heard this, then raised their big guns and caught up with Ii Naobi as if they were crazy, and swept towards the Han army.
A name worth three hundred thousand dan is a big name.
The salary of an ordinary red-armored warrior is only one hundred stones.
The salary increase is three thousand times.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The red armored cavalry did not charge in a straight line, but divided into three arrows along the way, charging towards the Han army's formation from the front, left and right respectively.
The left and right arrows are inserted diagonally.
Five thousand versus two or three thousand.
The advantage lies in the red armored cavalry.
All the red-armored warriors had extremely high morale and were trembling with excitement.
It's just that they were happy too early.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!" The divine arm archers of the Han army's inner guards took the lead in launching the attack. They pulled the triggers in their hands when they were outside the range of the bows and arrows.
Countless crossbow arrows shot straight at the red armored cavalry.
"Puff. Puff." Countless red-armored warriors fell off their horses and fell to the ground after being hit by crossbow arrows.
A few people were lucky enough to avoid the cavalry in the rear, but most of them were trampled into pulp.
The Divine Arm Bow is so powerful that even the heavy armor of the Han people cannot withstand it. Not to mention Fuso style armor.
The damage is great.
The red-armored warriors did not flinch, and continued to charge, howling.
After the divine arm archers fired a round of arrows, with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, they loaded a new crossbow with difficulty and launched it.
After they fired the second crossbow, they quickly moved to the rear. The archers in the Han army took over the work of long-range strikes.
The archers shot arrows at the red armored cavalry from three directions. A waterfall is formed. Countless red-armored warriors fell from their horses.
But the damage of the archer is not as good as the God's Arm Bow.
When the red-armored warriors rode their horses and rushed in front of the Han army, the number was still astonishing.
The momentum is like a mountain falling and the earth cracking, very huge.
"It's so powerful." The faces of the crowd on Jinding Slope changed drastically, and they felt as if they were drowning.
But they just stood on the hillside and watched, causing harm to the fish in the pond.
It is hard to imagine how much pressure the Han army, facing the red armored cavalry, endured.
horrible.
horrible.
