Chapter 1770: Qi Jiguang vs. Uesugi Kanenobu (End)
After roaring, Uesugi Kanenobu held a shield and waved his sword to block the arrows. He took the lead and was actually preparing to charge into the battle himself.
[Ding dong, Kanenobu Uesugi’s skill ‘Strengthening the Army’ effect 3 is activated. When personally participating in the battle, the force is 3 and the morale of the whole army is greatly improved.
Kanenobu Uesugi's basic strength is 101, seven spiritual swords, 1 sword, and 1 Fangshengmao. The current strength has increased to 106 points.】
Seeing that the generals had personally participated in the battle, the morale of the Japanese soldiers soared. They all howled and screamed, followed Uesugi Kanenobu to launch a counterattack, and charged against the rain of arrows.
Qi Jiguang originally planned to fire two rounds of bows and arrows before shrinking his troops to completely trap the living Japanese pirates. He was not worried that the Japanese pirates would take advantage of this to break out, because he had laid an ambush of 5,000 troops on the Japanese pirates' retreat route.
But what Qi Jiguang didn't expect was that after encountering the ambush, the Japanese pirates did not choose to break out from the rear. Instead, they chose to break out from the front, and they were caught off guard.
There are many archers on Qi Jiguang's side, but relatively few soldiers. Once he gets close, he is likely to be broken out.
"Instruct General Jintai to abandon the ambush and attack the Japanese army from the rear."
After Qi Jiguang calmly issued the order, he looked at these Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he said solemnly: "The crossbowmen retreat, the cavalry will attack first with the general, and the swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen will attack first."
The team followed closely..."
After saying this, Qi Jiguang jumped out on his curly-haired Chinese blood horse and shouted: "Kill." Then the five hundred cavalrymen also went out to kill.
The Qin army's crossbowmen, after firing continuously, had dealt a huge blow to the Japanese pirates.
If you still don't retreat at this time, once the Japanese pirates get close, the archers will fight against the infantry. Even the Qin army's archers are equally powerful, but they cannot be defeated by the Japanese soldiers who specialize in close combat training.
It will most likely be a one-sided massacre.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang's timely transfer of the crossbowmen was undoubtedly a very wise decision.
Although the number of cavalry led by Qi Jiguang was not large, he obviously had an absolute advantage when facing the Japanese army, which had less than 300 cavalry in total.
"kill……"
After a roar, Qi Jiguang charged while stabbing with the spear in his hand. He massed and killed several Japanese soldiers along the way. Then he swiped the spear in his hand and three more Japanese soldiers vomited blood and flew out.
boom……
The five hundred Qin cavalry followed Qi Jiguang's footsteps and ran directly into the Japanese soldiers. Then they charged like tanks and killed them brutally. All the Japanese soldiers who got close were knocked away.
After the cavalry, the infantry and spearmen also came into close contact with the Japanese soldiers, and a fight began that was the most primitive in history.
Kananobu Uesugi, who was separated from Qi Jiguang, turned around and saw a group of Qin cavalry charging back and forth to kill his own front army, causing a lot of casualties to his own army. The entire front army was almost disrupted by the Qin cavalry.
So he decisively led the cavalry to come to fight.
"Don't go head-to-head, just chop off the horse's legs." Uesugi Kanenobu shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese soldiers reacted immediately. Instead of rushing forward and confronting the cavalry with their flesh and blood, they formed formations in twos and threes and prepared to cut off their horses and retreat, causing considerable casualties to the Qin army's cavalry.
Qi Jiguang originally wanted to lead 500 cavalry to disrupt the enemy's formation first, and then rely on the superiority of troops to defeat them. However, he did not expect that this group of Japanese soldiers were so elite. The infantry was very skilled in cutting horse legs in formation. Apparently they had done this specially.
Targeted training.
If the Qin army's cavalry were running at full speed, they would naturally not be afraid of the infantry in a frontal battle. But at this time, the five hundred cavalry were among the enemy, and the speed advantage no longer existed. Once they were entangled and chopped off the horse's legs, it would be very dangerous.
.
brush……
After another Japanese soldier was killed with another shot, Qi Jiguang saw that his 500 cavalry had suffered over 100 casualties, and he immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Retreat."
"Want to leave? That's a good idea."
A cold light flashed in Uesugi Kanenobu's eyes. She had recognized Qi Jiguang's identity and secretly said: "This person is the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army. If he can be killed, the morale of the Qin Army will be greatly reduced, and it will be much easier to break through."
.”
As soon as he thought of this, Uesugi Kanenobu immediately rode his horse and brandished his sword to kill Qi Jiguang who was about to retreat.
[Kanenobu Uesugi’s skill ‘Sword God’ is activated, the force is 4, and the current force is increased to 110. 】
Uesugi Kanenobu was eyeing Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang was also eyeing Uesugi Kanenobu, hoping to kill him before retreating.
"You retreat first, I will cut off the rear for you." Qi Jiguang said coldly.
"But General..."
"Excuting an order."
"promise."
He casually killed two Japanese soldiers who were approaching, but Qi Jiguang's eyes were all on Uesugi Kanebubu, who was rushing over. Seeing that he was close at hand, he immediately moved like a dragon with his gun and stabbed him in the throat.
[Ding dong, Qi Jiguang’s skill ‘King of Guns’ is activated, his force is 3, and his current force has increased to 108.]
nail……
Qi Jiguang's brows furrowed slightly. His confident shot was actually blocked by the opponent, and it looked extremely easy.
This person is not simple.
Qi Jiguang thought to himself, then drew his gun and left.
With just that shot, Qi Jiguang could tell that the opponent's strength was not inferior to his own. Although Qi Jiguang was not afraid of him, fighting him among the Japanese army would obviously be detrimental to Qi Jiguang.
After Uesugi Kanenobu received a heavy blow, he was just about to fight back when Qi Jiguang turned around and ran away. He couldn't help but said angrily: "General Qin, you are going to be run away."
"Japanese pirates, you have the guts to chase them." Qi Jiguang sneered.
"Just chase."
Naturally, Uesugi Kanenobu could not let Qi Jiguang escape, so he chased her after a mad chase, but Qi Jiguang did not fight with her at all, and the two of them chased and escaped and soon escaped from the Japanese army.
After escaping from the Japanese army and returning to the main formation, Qi Jiguang reined in his horse and dismounted, and Uesugi Kanenobu also listened.
"Run, why don't you run away?" Uesugi Kanenobu said coldly.
"That's not necessary anymore."
Qi Jiguang said calmly, and then he took the initiative to kill him, and Uesugi Kanenobu also waved his sword to greet him.
Nail... Nail... Nail...
The sound of metal collision continued, and soon the two of them had fought for three rounds. They exchanged no less than twenty moves, but neither could do anything to the other.
"So strong."
Qi Jiguang's eyes were full of solemnity. He didn't expect that this Japanese general would have such strength. Even though he tried his best, he couldn't do anything to the opponent, and he actually had a slight disadvantage.
Uesugi Kanenobu seemed to have touched Qi Jiguang's bottom. He pointed the sword directly at Qi Jiguang and said confidently: "Within thirty rounds, I will take your life."
"Yeah?"
Qi Jiguang sneered: "It's a pity that you don't have time to fight for thirty rounds."
Hearing this, Uesugi Kanenobu was startled. She subconsciously looked around, only to see the corpses of her own soldiers everywhere, and she was almost surrounded by the Qin army without knowing it.
