Originally, the Shimazu family had more cavalry, but they are not here in Kagoshima at the moment. The cavalry Shimazu Yoshitsune can use is only these more than a hundred cavalry. However, in his opinion, a frontal attack by the army will be enough.
It was enough to defeat the opponent. Using these cavalry was just the icing on the cake, but the facts soon shocked him!
The commander of the cavalry chose a very clear target, which was two infantry phalanxes without spears. His idea was very simple. If the opponent did not have spears as a unit to restrain the cavalry, then they would be easily dispersed! When the time came they would rush
As soon as the broken troops drove the sailors and pirates in the middle, the entire battlefield became a mess!
Some of these rebels will definitely flee to the seaside, and others will definitely flee to the phalanx in front to seek shelter. At that time, let go of those who fled to the seaside, and drive other broken soldiers to attack the opponent's phalanx. Maybe this battle
It was the cavalry who took the lead!
But the dream is very happy, and the reality is very skinny! Because the Marine Corps soldiers on both sides are also strictly trained soldiers, but they are just sent to the ship. So they are first and foremost a Marine soldier, but they just belong to
Just the navy.
They were already very angry when they were lined up on both sides. Now that they found two groups of monkeys riding donkeys charging towards them, they naturally refused to let them go! The commanders of the two phalanxes unanimously ordered the soldiers in the front row to stand in a defensive position.
posture, and then add soldiers from the other three directions to the front, followed by a volley of firecrackers!
Compared with the infantry, the cavalry has a larger area and is easier to be hit, so they were hit by lead bullets just after entering 150 steps! If there were more cavalry, they might be able to rush to the front of the formation.
, but their number is too small. The two teams together only have more than a hundred people. If they are separated, there are only fifty or sixty people in each team!
Under the intensive attack of fire cannons, these cavalrymen either injured their horses and threw the knights away, or the knights were shot and fell off their horses. The two phalanxes used six and seven rounds of volleys respectively to wipe out the cavalry in front of them.
null!
The nearest cavalryman was more than ten steps away from the square formation! The cavalryman was thrown to the ground by his injured horse. When he stood up dizzy and prepared to charge, he was hit by four lead bullets in the chest and fell down! So far, the two teams
The cavalry was wiped out!
When the shooting stopped, there were only a few ownerless horses wandering on the battlefield! The rest were either motionless dead bodies or wounded people struggling to death! Naturally, the Marine Corps soldiers would not let this go.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the officer immediately sent a team of people forward to finish off the dying cavalry one by one, and also captured all the horses that could be captured. This was Liu Haojia's first batch of trophies after landing!
In this way, the two teams of cavalry were finished even before the samurai group and the elite ashigaru! Seeing that the Japanese cavalry was wiped out, Liu Haojia finally felt relieved. He raised his telescope and looked ahead, and the result was even more satisfying!
The soldiers on the front line had already entered the suit and began to perform steadily. And he was more satisfied with the performance of the officers! He saw in the binoculars an officer taking a soldier out of the queue, and then kicked and beat him to drive him away.
Go to the baggage vehicle in the center of the phalanx to replace the gun.
It seems that the soldier was so excited that he didn't even know that there was something wrong with his gun, and he was still repeating the loading and shooting process until he was discovered by his officers. This shows that the grassroots officers of the Wu'an Army are strong enough to resist pressure.
Ability, he still has the energy to consider whether the soldiers in the phalanx can use their guns well, and this also shows that his officers are growing rapidly.
Liu Haojia was satisfied here, but it was different with Shimazu Yoshihisa! At this time, he could no longer care about being as stable as Mount Tai. He stood up, waved his military equipment and shouted loudly: "Order them to withdraw quickly! Order the troops behind.
Stop the momentum and hold down your position!"
It’s no wonder he’s crazy, because among any daimyo, the samurai group and the elite ashigaru are the backbone of an army! If they suffer too many casualties, the army’s combat capability will plummet!
But it has to be said that Shimazu Yoshihisa is still very experienced. The loss of soldiers did not make him confused. He smashed a series of supplementary orders!
First, he ordered all the samurai and elite ashigaru to retreat, and then the second order was to ask the ashigaru behind them to stop their formation, and ordered them to hold on no matter what! At the same time, he ordered the iron cannon ashigaru and bow and arrows on both sides.
The team moved closer to the center. At the same time, the ashigaru who were the first to withdraw were ordered to regroup as the final line of defense.
As his orders continued to be issued, the sound of drums and trumpets did not stop. The warriors around him rushed down to deliver the orders under his orders. Under the horse's seal, there was no trace of the previous solemnity and solemnity.
Shimazu Yoshihisa did manage to stay calm and respond appropriately, but the situation now was completely different from just now! He also subconsciously felt that he succeeded in changing his formation in front of the opponent last time, and he should also succeed this time.
But Liu Haojia did not intend to give him another chance, but directly ordered all the phalanxes to press forward!
After receiving the order, the four phalanxes in the front row started first, and then the five phalanxes in the back followed. Those high-erected spears really seemed like slowly moving woods in Shimazu Yoshihisa's eyes, but
It is unknown whether he thought of the famous "Fenglin Volcano" at this moment!
When advancing, the officers of each formation did not ask the soldiers in the front row to retract their bayonets, and those soldiers became the scavengers of the entire formation. They walked at the front and saw the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling and wailing.
Just give him a stabbing blow directly! So wherever the phalanx passed by, there was immediately no sound! Even if there were wounded soldiers struggling to escape, they could not move faster than the soldiers of the Wu'an Army. After being caught up, they would all be killed with one sword!
The phalanx continued to move forward slowly, and soon approached the Japanese team, and adjusting the formation was not something that could be completed in a short time. Therefore, when the Wu'an army approached the Japanese a hundred steps away, their formation had just
Approximately.
The Wu'an Army showed their superb skills here! As they were marching, the square formation was actually dismantled into two horizontal formations. The two ends of the horizontal formation were still spearmen holding their spears high, but in the middle
The team of fire gunners became longer and thicker, with four rows of people!
As soon as he entered within a hundred steps, Huang Guojun shouted: "Stand up!"
Since he was the centermost formation, when they stopped, the other six side-by-side formations also stopped. As soon as the formation stopped, Huang Guojun shouted again: "Shoot!"
