Chapter seventy-eight of the gun array (2)
Even Yu Qiuping himself did not expect that the army trained by him using modern methods would have such strong combat effectiveness.
None of the Footballs behind the Sakuma family dared to step forward again. Even the warriors who were usually brave and fearless of death were now looking at each other in front of Chang Panbei's spear forest. The narrow trench in front of them was as unbroken as the sky. Anyone who wanted to step into it would be pierced in an instant like the ten corpses and blood in the trench. If there was no such trench, the warriors and Footballs could forcibly rush up to fight hand-to-hand to weaken the advantages of the spear. However, this trench combined with Chang Panbei's spear formation was a real absolute defense.
"This is definitely the samurai of Imakawa Yoshimoto!" Sakuma Nobumoto's mind was full of absurdity and collapse. He ignored the gazes who were blocking him and shouted, "Stop! Don't rush forward!" He finally squeezed into the front of the team, and after witnessing the terrifying gun array with his own eyes, his whole body was shocked like a numbness.
"This trench is really fatal." Sakuma Nobumo saw the problem at a glance and ordered, "Don't rush up and fight hard, push down the earth wall, and fill the trench!" Sakuma Nobumo turned around and shouted, "Archer! Shoot!"
Before he finished speaking, a feather arrow broke through the air and hit Sakuma Noburi's shoulder. Sakuma Noburi spit out a mouthful of blood, struggled to sit down, and the guards around him hurriedly went up to support him. If he hadn't turned around just now, the arrow would have hit his heart.
"Brother, you'd better go back first!" Sakuma Nobuge saw that Sakuma Nobumo had been shot and his face was pale. He hurriedly arranged for a few people to help him back, and he took over the heavy responsibility of command.
"This is a shame." After Chang Pan prepared the formation, Charlie, who was standing on the shoulders of the two archers, saw that the person being sniped was not hit by the vital points. He sighed, jumped down with some angrily, shook his hand, as if he wanted to get rid of his bad luck.
The thunder strike from the gun formation just now and the commander's injuries almost completely wiped out the morale of Sakuma's army. On the front line, the foot light was on the verge of the attack range of the Changbanbei spear, and carefully dug the earth blocks from the earth wall and threw them back into the trench.
The bows and arrows on both sides were trying their best to throw fire, but the bows and arrows shot at such close range could hardly cause any casualties. As the trench in front of them was gradually filled, Chang Panbei's original advantage of neat and sprinting was not that great.
"Sir, why don't you order an attack?" Jigang Shengzheng ran back from the front line and urged urgently, "When those Zhang Laos filled the trench, there was no formation at all. Many people used the spear as a shovel! We could defeat dozens of them with just one attack!"
"No, long spears are not conducive to melee." Yu Qiuping shook his head firmly, "If you encounter siege after crossing the trench, it will be troublesome to withdraw. Be safe, keep the line intact,"
"Sir, I think what Lord Yoshigang said makes sense." Amano Keidu said in a low voice, "Sir, you are so conservative. The morale of the Sakuma family was low and the formation was scattered, which is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy."
"Hey, maybe." Yu Qiuping sighed, "But our purpose is to cover the baggage team, not to kill the enemy. Pass the orders and stick to the front line, and not to attack without authorization."
At the same time, Sakuma Nobuge was desperately cheering his soldiers.
"The reason why you were scared like that just now is not to show how strong the Yuqiu family is!" Sakuma Nobuki explained hard, "because those people were shocked by the neat movements. They were still in the trenches, and they didn't even do counterattack or defense! Several people faced multiple times the number of people, so they naturally couldn't beat them."
"Their advantage is the overall sting! What's the use of neat light?" Sakuma Nobuki continued, "Let's be careful, be farther apart and face them with them, find an opportunity to fight closely, and then you'll be fine!"
A more appropriate response method was adopted, and the battle situation did not appear to be one-sided. Although, under the deterrence of the Takaba Bei's spear, the Sakuma army suffered multiple casualties and could not make a breakthrough. However, several brave and warriors could still seize the opportunity to cut off the wooden spear rod of the spear, and then rushed up to kill Takaba Bei close.
"The third person in the second row, make up!" Fukushima Ansei immediately ordered the foot from behind to fill up. The foot from behind was conditioned and reflexive, and stood up, strode forward, making up the space. Under this close connection, the Sakuma army has not been able to break through the front line of Changbanbei. Every time a person falls, one person will be immediately filled up, as if he will never be able to break through. There are two warriors who are riding a horse forward and slashing the foot from the first row that kneels on one knee, and the foot from behind is stabbed into a hornet's nest by many people in the rear row. The entire front line is therefore stalemate, and Changbanbei, who has the advantage, has no intention of attacking, but the Sakuma army has no choice but to do anything to them.
Although the Sakuma army is close to Takamaba everywhere on the front line, they can no longer leverage the advantage of the stings, and the two armies assassinate each other at a distance. However, even if the combat capability of the individual soldiers is only comparable to Takamaba. Takamaba's spearmen are fierce and fast, not as timid as the Sakuma army. The part of the foot is obviously much better than the bamboo armor on his side, and can defend against many attacks. However, the bamboo armor of the Sakuma army is basically unavoidable as long as it is stabbed by the iron spear tip.
After a period of confrontation, the Sakuma army had nearly twenty casualties, but only knocked down less than five of Chang Panbei. So Chang Panbei had no intention of attacking, otherwise if they broke through in one go, and stabbed together for several rounds, the Sakuma army's front line would be broken due to casualties and were completely defeated.
"Although this unit is very strong, the command of the battle formation is really not good." Sakuma Nobuge let out a long sigh, "Why did Imakawa Yoshimoto hand over the Qicheng team to such a person?"
At the same time, Sakuma Nobuzo, who had just been rescued from the camp, was taken to bandage on the watchtower in Oda Iwai Fortress, so he did not climb the watchtower.
"What's wrong? Lord Sakuma was there and was reluctant to attack." Lailong, the Hibishu, looked at the battle situation in the south and almost maintained on that line, without any progress.
"Maybe Lord Sakuma doesn't want to attack, so as not to cause too much damage." Sasa Naruta said in a deep voice, "But in this way," he pointed to the 4o spearmen behind Yuqiu-ping's front. "Their reserve team has not moved yet, and our side strike may be stopped."
"Sir, let's take more than a dozen people to help you restrain them." Lai Long, the beehouse, pointed to the left of Yuqiuping's battle formation, "I will take the people there to pretend to attack. After their reserve team is dispatched, the adults will sweep their flanks from the right!"
"Okay. Then act,"
Yu Qiuhei looked at the gradually stabilized front and the Sakuma army who was not moving forward, and gradually calmed down. Semei Shizuo, who was far away, had received an alarm from Yu Qiuhei and seemed to be trying to gather the team.
"Maybe His Highness Sezure can be stopped from reinforcements." Yu Qiuhei looked at Chang Panbei's excellent performance with satisfaction. Just as he was thinking, suddenly, another drum sound came from Oda Jun Iwa Village. More than a dozen black-armored cavalry rushed out of the west gate of Iwa Village. They turned almost vertically outside the Iwa Village gate and rushed towards Chang Panbei's left flank.
"The black mother-clothed people!" Yu Qiuping was shocked, "How could he be here!"
"Yuyoshi Ogawa, take your team out!" Yu Qiuhei ordered quickly, "Go to the left of Ansei Fukushima, line up to the northwest and cover the flank!"
"Turn left!" "Run - go!" Yudong Ogawa threw off the wine pot and immediately directed the team to run to the left.
Yu Qiuping looked at the battlefield again and suddenly saw the unarmed auxiliary soldiers behind him. If the black mother-clothed group turned sideways and backwards regardless, the safety of these auxiliary soldiers could not be guaranteed - because Ogawa Yudong's team walked with his legs and could not keep up with the cavalry no matter what.
what to do--
Form a round formation to protect all the auxiliary soldiers? But then the force will be too weak. Sure enough, without cavalry, it would be really troublesome to fight on the plains.
"The order is sent to the attack of Omaezaki Nakahide and Yoshikazu Katsumasa's troops start the attack!" Yu Qiuping decided to put pressure on the Oda Army's central front, forcing the Black Mother-clothed people to dare not detour too deeply, otherwise they might be surrounded.
"Thompson!" Yu Qiuping shouted on the official occasion, "Tao your archers and prepare to snipe those black mother-clothed people!"
"Yes!" Charlie immediately selected more than a dozen good players and came to the small earth slope where Yu Qiuping was located, and began to aim at the gradually approaching Black Mother Clothing.
"Have the reserve team finally moved?" Lai Long, the Honeyman, immediately stood up slightly and looked at Yu Qiuping's army. In just ten breaths, the reserve team had arrived at the designated location. Lai Long had no choice but to take advantage of it, but he kept wandering back and forth to attract the attention of Yudong Ogawa. "It's so fast, there will be no variables there, sir, right?" Lai Long murmured to himself.
Almost as he muttered, Sasa Nakamasa, led more than 20 black mother-robed cavalry, opened the east gate, without drums, and quietly left the rock village and rushed back towards Yu Qiuping's right wing.
"Oh no! I'm fooled!" Yu Qiuping immediately felt something was wrong. He had no troops to mobilize. If this team of cavalry rushed into the position from the side, the entire army would face collapse. The flag he was in must not be able to save, and the spearmen who were attacked on the back would have no ability to fight back. At this time, the troops of Jigang Katsumasa, exposed to the iron hooves of the black mother-robed men, had already attacked the trench and were fighting the Sakuma army to retreat step by step.
"Charlie, attack the team on the right first and find a way to prevent them from moving!" According to the cavalry, Yu Qiuping knew that he had only less than a minute left, and without saying much, he rushed towards Katsumasa Yoshigang. "Personal Guard, the dispatch of this team will be given to you for the time being!"
"As for your order, sir." Naoe Tadaehira leaned over and replied.
"Shoot, follow my direction!" Charlie predicted the route of the Black Mother Clothes in advance, twisted his waist and pulled his bow and shot it out, and more than a dozen archers behind him also shot out feather arrows. The rain of arrows fell into the Black Mother Clothes formation. A rider and two war horses unfortunately got arrows, and the cavalry's charge also stopped slightly.
At this time, Yu Qiuping had already arrived behind Jigang Shengzheng's team. He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Jigang Shengzheng's team obeys the order! Follow my command!" Yu Qiuping shouted, Jigang Shengzheng, who was on the front line, was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded without looking back: "All of them follow the orders of the lord!"
"The first row of feet light turns into defense! The back three rows of feet light! Leave the front line! Hold the gun!" Yu Qiuping gave the order, and the twenty feet light from the back three rows that were rushing forward immediately stopped. "Backward-turn!" After Yu Qiuping's second order, the twenty feet light immediately held the gun bars in both hands and pointed at the sky, turning back neatly.
"Go quickly!" Yu Qiuping ordered, and saw the surging black mother-clothed cavalry coming closer and closer, and his voice changed a little. Jigang Shengzheng's squad had already taken more than ten steps back. Yu Qiuping ordered here, "Turn left! Turn left half!" With two orders, the squads who were originally facing the south had turned around quickly, facing the northeast, direction of the black mother-clothed crowd.
"Step in line - go!" More than 20 people took neat steps and crossed the side of the first row of Jigang Shengzheng's front line, covering their wings.
"Stand up!" Yu Qiuping shouted again, and the cavalry of the Black Mother Clothing was much closer. Yu Qiuping could even see the expressions of the people in front with his naked eyes.
"One, two, three, four!" The slighters shouted their horns and stepped on the spot, immediately standing still like sculptures.
"Look to the right---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chang Pan, who were turning his head forward in unison, saw the cavalrymen in black clothes who were already close to him.
"Preparation--" Yu Qiuping pulled into a tone and shouted loudly. The first row of feet squatted down quickly and poked out the spear in front. The second row of feet squatted flattened the spear and took a horse step. The third row of feet squatted the spear in front. Everyone stared at the cavalry who was about to rush forward. The snow-lit spear forest opened its bloody mouth, waiting for the other party's rushing forward.
At this critical moment.
"Stop!" Sasa Natsumasa hurriedly ordered that more than 20 cavalrymen stood up in front of the gun forest. Sasa Natsumasa did not lead the cavalry to rush forward to the dead spear formation.
"Damn it, how could it be adjusted so quickly!" Several cavalrymen in black clothes cursed fiercely. They had just seen with their own eyes that the red leaf soldiers in front of them were quickly retreating from a small team, turning around in a few quick times, and then they arrived at the defensive position to set up the formation. This series of actions took only more than half a minute.
If it is replaced by an ordinary force, the temporary mobilization of the unit will be disrupted, and the formation will be carried out multiple times in front of the enemy. Not to mention whether it can be done, even if it can, it will inevitably bring great chaos. The entire force will fall into a command crisis, and it may take a long time to complete such deployment and mobilization. This is why, the assault of the cavalry can cause a huge blow to the flanks of the infantry, because the infantry has no time to adjust the formation.
However, the troops in front of them completed the mobilization and formation change in a short while, and such troops did not have the so-called flanking danger at all.
