…
With one against five, seven cavalry were killed in a row.
Zhang Lie's powerful performance completely shocked the Japanese coalition forces to the extreme.
"The general is invincible~~"
"Invincible~~"
Uchimura Mitsuyoshi roared excitedly, and the more than a hundred samurai who had newly joined the vassal army around him also roared.
On the side of the coalition forces, the soldiers in the front row who witnessed Zhang Lie's attack on horseback shrank and did not even dare to look at him.
"It's Lord Hachiman!"
Suddenly, an ashigaru leader who couldn't bear the fear couldn't help shouting, and then pushed the golden mountain and fallen jade pillar in the direction of Zhang Lie's troops and bowed down.
The rest of the ashigaru and low-level samurai in the front row immediately knelt on the ground and kept crying and worshiping Zhang Lie.
The faces of these people were full of fear, and in addition there was an unspeakable fanaticism.
"Baga, you are not allowed to kneel! Get up, everyone! You are not allowed to kneel! Do you hear me! Baga~touch~~"
The supervisor's banner team angrily whipped the subordinates who were kneeling on the ground. Fortunately, they were leaning in the back and did not witness Zhang Lie fighting against five and killing seven people in a row. Otherwise, they would very likely become like them!
When Hojo Nagamasa and Imagawa Cross Country saw this, their minds went blank.
The long-term war in Japan has caused these high-level daimyo to gradually transition from village fighting to provincial battles, and their thinking has gradually changed from winning with bravery to strategy first. They sneer at scenes similar to the one-horse attack, let alone participate in it personally. .
But this was the only time in their lives for them to see such a thrilling scene, and they were all deeply shocked.
"I have always heard that the Central Plains is a land of great resources, rich in resources, and has outstanding people. I originally thought that in troubled times, they would disappear over time. Now it seems that it is true to the saying in the Central Plains that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This kind of bravery cannot be compared with that of Japan."
Hojo Nagamasa lamented, looking extremely helpless.
On the other side, seeing Zhang Lie defeating his opponent with one against five, Yue Shaomu slowly lowered the five-stone bow, and then shouted to his guards: "Bang the drum, hurry up and take General Zhang back to the camp."
He knew Zhang Lie's character very well. He was afraid that there would be trouble in the event of a fight. If a large enemy army swarmed forward and something went wrong, it would be troublesome. It was best to persuade him back now.
"Do the birds dare to fight again? If there are hundreds of thousands of people, they will be like chickens and wagyus in front of Zhang Lie! Hahahaha..."
No one said anything, no one dared to respond. At this moment, Zhang Lie was like a god who could not be blasphemed in the hearts of the Japanese slaves.
"Ask me again, do you dare to fight!"
"ah……"
Another roar made all the Kyoto coalition forces tremble with fear.
Xu Zhonghan stared at the fellow villagers across from him in stunned silence, and said for a long time: "None of the elite Chen Wanwan from Guanxi is a man. General Zhang is truly a man of gods!"
However, it no longer mattered whether he was a god or not. The ten personal guards rushed out of the formation desperately, grabbed the reins of Zhang Lie's horse, and shouted in unison: "General, I'm offended!"
Then he desperately pulled him and his mount back to the main formation.
When Zhang Lie was in high spirits, he was pulled back into the formation like this, and he couldn't help but burst into anger: "What are you doing? I'm just at the moment when I'm showing off my power, why are you pulling me back!"
Yue Shaomu stepped forward and shouted: "General Zhang, don't forget your identity! As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he actually violates military laws and is good at showing off his personal bravery. If there is a mistake, wouldn't it mean that he has abandoned the three armies and ignored him!"
Zhang Lie was scolded by Yue Shaomu, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! It's just a group of birdmen, but I alone can defeat thousands of troops!"
"According to military law, how should General Zhang be punished?"
"Yue, don't hit your nose or face! If you don't agree with us, let's practice together. I'm worried that I'm not satisfied with killing you!"
"General Zhang, please answer me! How should I be severely punished according to the law?"
"... Thirty rods..."
Zhang Lie still felt a little guilty about Yue Shaomu.
He is a third-term graduate of the Far East Military Academy and has served as an instructor in the capital. Although he is young, only in his early twenties, he is very skilled in the use of troops.
The key is that Yue Shaomu's martial arts is also very amazing.
I asked him to compete with him several times in private, but he rejected me every time. Then one time I couldn't help it. The two of them fought once, but there was nothing he could do.
And at that time, Yue Shaomu was still obviously letting off steam, only defending but not attacking.
It shows that this guy is at least on the same level as him in terms of force alone. He is also calm and has a cautious and calm personality. It is no wonder that the court would send him to restrain him.
"Okay, since General Zhang admits that he has violated military regulations, I will record this military stick right and deal with it after the war is over. Now I ask General Zhang to take command and defeat this enemy force!"
"In a snap!"
Zhang Lie threw the spear into the hands of his guards, then walked to the general stage and shouted loudly: "Form up! Attack!"
"Ho~~"
The next moment, the giant dragon roared, and a phalanx of 3,000 spears headed forward slowly approached, followed by 200 people in a row, a total of 1,000 gunmen, slowly pressing towards the Kyoto coalition forces.
Seeing this, Hojo Nagamasa immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy! Archers are ready!"
The 30,000-strong army was also ready. Two thousand archers drew their bows and aimed at the battle formation that was advancing like a forest.
"General Zhang, why don't you use artillery?"
"Save the artillery for use at Mito Castle. To deal with these chickens and dogs, firecrackers and spears are enough!"
Zhang Lie was confident that four thousand soldiers were enough to defeat this dwarf army.
Yue Shaomu remained silent and raised the looking glass to look at the battlefield ahead.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Swish-"
The Han army's archers entered the shooting range, and Hojo Nagamasa immediately ordered to fire.
In an instant, an overwhelming rain of arrows fell towards the Han army's battle formation.
Ding ding ding…
However, when the arrows fell, there was a sound of metal colliding.
Hojo Nagamasa and Imagawa Cross Country looked carefully, and sadly discovered that the bows and arrows did not seem to disrupt the Han army's formation at all, and there were not even any casualties visible.
Suddenly, an ominous omen came to their minds.
"shooting!"
"Put it back!"
"put!"
Several rounds of feather arrows were fired continuously until the wrists of the coalition archers were extremely sore and numb, but they still could not stop the approach of the spear array.
The protective capabilities of the Han army's plate armor were beyond the understanding of this group of Japanese people.
"Push it to me!"
Knowing that continuing to entangle would only make him more passive, Hojo Nagamasa simply put his life in danger, and immediately tens of thousands of soldiers howled and rushed towards the Han army.
"Erect a formation!"
"Drink~"
The marching military formation stopped upon hearing the order, and the sword and shield bearers in the front row erected their long shields in front of the formation.
Following the thousands of musketeers, the musketeers in the first row had already placed their flintlock rifles on their long shields and aimed them at the approaching enemy.
"Kill~~"
The figures of the short Ashigaru at the head, running with bamboo spears and poles, looked comical and ridiculous.
But this does not mean that the Han army will be merciful. As long as you stand on the opposite side of the Han army, you are an enemy, no matter how many high-sounding reasons there are!
“Let it go~~”
boom--
The sound of sharp copper whistles resounded all over the field for a moment. Two hundred muskets fired almost simultaneously, and thick and pungent gunpowder smoke suddenly spread in front of the military formation.
Faintly, painful and shrill cries began to echo, which should be the wails of the ashigaru and the samurai.
"What happened?"
Hojo Nagamasa and Imagawa Cross Country were also shaken by the roar in front of the Han army's formation. They saw a flash of white light in front of the opposite shield formation, and then smoke filled the air. Then the attacking soldiers fell sparsely on the attacking road.
"Put it down~"
boom--
The second round of shooting swept away again, the hot and cheap projectiles greedily harvesting fresh lives...
