Ming Zuo

Aino is a very narrow place, as long as you stand a little higher, you can see the ocean on both sides of the north and south.

Therefore, it is also the only way for the shogunate army to escape.

Knowing this, Xia Jun firmly occupied the place, waiting for the shogunate army to come to the door automatically.

Tens of thousands of shogunate troops emerged one after another from the mountains and forests, and began to silently organize their formations.

"General, these Xia army only have infantry, and the fortifications are very simple, they will definitely not be able to stop our attack."

Tadashi Ogasawara, the feudal lord of the Kokura Domain in the Fengzen Kingdom, was full of confidence.

"Don't be too careless, have you forgotten the terrifying artillery of Xia Jun?"

As long as he thinks of the scene of the Xia Kingdom's warships being bombarded indiscriminately, Matsudaira Nobuzuna can't help but feel terrified.

If the Xia Jun in front of him also had that kind of artillery, they might not be able to win.

"These Xia Jun seem to have no artillery. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The lord of the Takada domain of the Bungo kingdom, Matsudaira Tadokian, told his cousin what he had discovered.

"Oh, really?"

When Matsudaira Nobunaga heard the words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, put his palms on his brows, and looked in the direction of Xia Jun.

The distance is too far, and only Xia Jun's infantry can be seen moving slowly, and the further position is blurred.

However, according to his experience, if Xia Jun also had that kind of terrifying artillery, it would be impossible not to launch it.

Since you can't see it at this time, maybe it really isn't.

In this way, the shogunate army has a greater chance of victory.

"Gentlemen, who would like to fight?"

The generals hesitated, and no one dared to stand up.

Although the Xia Jun in front of him didn't seem strong enough, since he dared to block him with [-] people, there might be some terrible killer move.

Just when Matsudaira Nobuzuna was a little dissatisfied, a firm voice sounded at the right time.

"Leave the task of destroying the enemy to me."

Nobuzuna Matsudaira was very happy to see the people who stood up.

"As expected of the person Guan Bai praised, everyone's life and death are all up to you."

The man didn't care about Matsudaira's praise, but made a request.

"I think the defense of the Xia army is very simple. If the cavalry is used to attack, there is a great chance of success. Therefore, please give all the cavalry to my command."

In Matsudaira's view, this requirement is not excessive at all.

As long as you can defeat the Xia Jun in front of you and retreat safely, anything is possible.

He quickly gathered the cavalry in the hands of the famous generals and formed a huge assault group.

At this time, the famous names from all walks of life can't care about losing or not, and they can escape their lives first and then talk about other things.

In a short while, the shogunate army formed a cavalry brigade of more than [-] people.

"General Tang, please be careful, the person on the opposite side is the unparalleled Tachibana Zongshio in the Western Country, and I am a well-known general in the East. In my opinion, it is better to ask the army to withdraw and rely on the fortifications to fight, so as to resist the impact of the cavalry. "

Yamada Yuei was quite shocked when he saw the people fighting in the shogunate army, and quickly reminded Tang Wenhuan.

"Unparalleled in the Western Country?"

Hearing the nickname of the general opposite, Tang Wenhuan showed a sarcastic smile.

If it weren't for Yamada Yuei by his side, he would have said a few sarcastic words.

"Wen Youdao."

"To!"

Wen Youdao, head of the First Marine Regiment, ran over quickly.

"Without providing artillery support for you, and relying only on two battalions of infantry, can you beat the cavalry on the opposite side?"

Wen Youdao turned his head and glanced at the cavalry formation opposite, his attitude was very clear.

"Master, an enemy broke through our formation, and I jumped into the sea and drowned."

"Hahaha……"

Tang Wenhuan laughed out loud.

"Okay, I'll just wait and see."

Wen Youdao received the order and shouted loudly after returning to the formation.

"The first battalion, the second battalion, get out!"

More than [-] Xia Jun soldiers left the fortifications and formed an array about one kilometer long in the open space in front of them.

There are three layers before and after, which looks very weak.

Yamada Yuei was terrified and thought to himself, how could such a thin infantry formation be able to withstand the charge of the cavalry?

But seeing that Tang Wenhuan was as strong as a rock, he had to hold back his mind and wait to see the outcome of the battle.

On the side of the shogunate army, Tachibana Soshigeru had already sorted out the formation.

As Ashikaga Yoshiaki's son-in-law, Tachibana Mongshiger was a die-hard loyalist of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

When Guan Yuan joined the war, he firmly rejected the temptation of Tokugawa Ieyasu and sided with the Toyotomi family.

But Ieyasu Tokugawa admired him very much and did not liquidate his crimes.Instead, he has been invited several times to re-enter office, and has been entrusted with important tasks.

When a scholar died for a confidant, Tachibana Zongshiger finally changed his attitude and became a capable general of the Tokugawa family.

Now that the shogunate is facing an unprecedented crisis, he decides to fight to the death to repay the shogun's kindness.

Thousands of cavalry began to move slowly forward.

The horse's hoofs moved faster and faster, originally silent, but gradually the earth began to vibrate with the sound of the hoofs, as if the drumhead was being violently struck.

Opposite the cavalry, two thousand Xia soldiers stood still.The muskets in their hands were already loaded with ammunition, and they were very quiet waiting for orders.

After the baptism of the First World War in Korea, the combat effectiveness of the First Marine Division was greatly improved, and there was no panic in the face of the impact of the cavalry.

In fact, the cavalry of Dongying, in terms of power, is not a little bit different from the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The height of the warhorse alone is not on the same level.

Since the First Marine Division was able to fight and win the battle against the Eight Banners cavalry, at this time, facing the much weaker Eastern Ying cavalry, there was no psychological burden at all.

The distance of three thousand meters is enough for the cavalry to complete the acceleration.

Finally, the horses began to fly, the dust began to fly, and the flat ground became the best place for cavalry to perform.

The thin and weak line of defense of the infantry on the opposite side looked like a piece of paper.As long as they rush over, they can easily pierce.

Is this really the case?

Wen Youdao stood at the junction of the two battalions, staring straight ahead, constantly measuring the distance of the cavalry.

At five hundred meters, he finally gave the order.

"Column [-], raise your gun!"

The sharp whistle sounded like a sound in Xia Jun's array, incomparably harsh.

The Xia soldiers in the first row moved in a neat and uniform manner, aiming the muzzle of their muskets at the rushing Dongying cavalry.

Three hundred meters.

For cavalry, it was almost a blink of an eye.

For musketeers, it is the best first-wave firing distance.

"put!"

The whistle sounded suddenly shrill and long.

At the signal to fire, hundreds of soldiers pulled the trigger.

The white gunpowder formed a straight line and also concealed the bullet's trajectory.

Of course, with such a fast flight speed, Dongying's cavalry could not see or escape at all.

Among the rapidly charging cavalry, a layer suddenly disappeared.

The screams of people and the neighing of horses resounded on the battlefield, and the fallen horses and people became dangerous obstacles.

The rest of the warhorses collided with the fallen human body and the fallen warhorses, and the horses were turned on their backs, adding to the confusion.

On Xia Jun's side, Yamada Yuei and others jumped up and looked at the battlefield incredulously, only to feel that the blood all over his body was accelerating.

On the side of the shogunate army, Matsudaira Nobuzuna and others were all stunned, and even suspected that something was wrong with their eyes.
