The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 714
When the Fusang army finally reached the position of 100 meters, the firepower of the Ming army suddenly became more intensive, and the casualties of the Fusang soldiers suddenly increased a lot, and rows of corpses fell in front of the position.

At the same time, countless black objects were thrown from the Ming army's position, spinning in the air and smashing into the Fusang army. With the sound of explosions and shrapnel flying across, the Fusang people were scattered like weeds blown by a hurricane. fell to the ground.

The Fusang army was stunned by the sudden and violent attack of the Ming army. The momentum of the menacing attack just now stagnated suddenly, as if the head of a wave hit the rocks on the shore, it was instantly shattered and lost its power.

But the Ming army's bullets still shot at them more violently, and the grenade fell into them with smoke and smoke, and then harvested their lives amidst the violent explosion.

At this time, there were less than 5000 of the 2000 people who charged. The fierceness and bravery of the Fusang warriors finally collapsed under the fierce firepower of the Ming army, and many people began to turn around and run away.

The Ming army's bullets caught up from behind, constantly harvesting their lives.

At this time, the sudden sound of horseshoes sounded from both sides, and the fusang deserters turned around to look, and all of their souls froze immediately. It was the cavalry of the Ming army who outflanked them from both wings.

Fusang had few horses and not many cavalry.The cavalry in the hands of Takeda Dazang is only a few hundred, and each of them can only be equipped with one horse.This kind of strength is already considered strong among all the daimyos.

It's just that during the charge just now, because those Fusang cavalry rushed too fast and had a big target, they became the key care objects of the Ming army, and they were quickly lost.

On the battlefield, it is a nightmare for infantry to meet cavalry, unless it is heavily armored infantry and then formed into a sharp spear formation to compete with cavalry.

These rout soldiers don't have this condition at all at this time.

Although there are not many cavalry in the Ming army, each division can also be equipped with a cavalry battalion of [-] cavalry.

The cavalry of the Ming army rushed over with a howl, dragging a long saber in their hands like a huge scythe, sweeping across Fusang to defeat the soldiers.

These fusang warriors who usually show off their might and pretentiousness were unable to parry at all, and were beheaded by the cavalry of the Ming army like melons and vegetables.

Seeing that the entire army of Takeda Dazou was about to be wiped out, Tokugawa Hidetada couldn't sit still, and finally sent two thousand cavalry out of the main formation to rescue.

He can't do without rescue. If Takeda Dazang's army is wiped out, the already low morale will be hit and destroyed even more seriously.

The Ming army cavalry completely ignored the Fusang cavalry rushing over, and continued to kill the Fusang soldiers who were running around in their spare time. Soon, there were fewer and fewer Fusang soldiers who could stand.

Seeing that the Fusang cavalry was getting closer and closer to the Ming army's cavalry, a sharp whistle sounded suddenly from the rear of the Ming army, followed by the sound of shells being fired. Amidst the constant explosions, the crowd turned on their backs, and hundreds of cavalry were lost in an instant.

This is the barrage used by the Ming army to stop them.

Seeing that the rescued cavalry suffered heavy losses, and Takeda Dazou's people were basically wiped out, Tokugawa Hidetada had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw, and the Fuso cavalry hurriedly turned their horses and rushed towards the main formation.

There were shells extending from behind that continued to explode around them, throwing them off their horses one by one. Even if they were not killed by the fragments of the shells, they would have broken their necks and died.

When these cavalrymen fled back to the main formation, at least one-third of them were lost, which made many big names feel distressed, because these cavalrymen were all put together by their families.

Tokugawa Hidetada's face was solemn at this time, he was shocked by the fierce artillery fire and powerful firepower projection of the Ming army, as well as the precise and tacit cooperation between the various arms.

If the Ming army has such fighting power, then there is no reason to let them fight all the way here.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Hidetada's heart sank, and he realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Ming army from the beginning to the present.

These so-called victories before were simply given to them by the Ming army on purpose.

And the Ming army in front of us does not seem to have more than [-] people, and it will definitely not be the main force of the Ming army.So where is the main force of the Ming army?

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Hidetada involuntarily turned his head to look in the direction behind him, which was the direction they came from.

He already had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't want to let himself think about it, because that thought was too terrifying.

He tried his best to calm himself down, and returned his gaze to the Ming army team in front of him.

The enemy did not take the opportunity to chase and break into their own formation because of their rout, but took the time to reorganize the formation and returned to the previous formation, which made Tokugawa Hidetada's heart palpitate.

The advantage of one's own side is that it has a large number of troops and is good at hand-to-hand combat.The advantage of the opponent is its powerful firepower.My first battle just now had completely failed, but the opponent's general didn't take the opportunity to rush forward. Instead, he put on an unhurried look, obviously wanting to make full use of their superior firepower to defend.

If they rushed up, their artillery advantage would be offset instead, and the two sides would fall into hand-to-hand combat. In that case, Tokugawa Hidetada would have absolute confidence in winning.

However, the opponent seems to know this very well, so they only use long-range artillery fire to attack. If their own side counterattacks, they will counterattack before the formation, so that their own side can only be beaten.

This is not what Tokugawa Hidetada is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that the Ming army in front of him is just a bait to contain them. The real main force of the Ming army may have already detoured behind them and waited to surround them.

For the current plan, in order to break through the enemy's encirclement, the only way to gain a chance is to charge the whole army and break through the enemy's defense line.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Hidetada ordered all the qualified daimyos to come over, and expressed all his conjectures, analysis and judgments.

"My lords, it is now the critical moment for our survival. If we cannot break through the enemy's defense line, then this battle will be very dangerous." Tokugawa Hidetada's face was solemn, his eyes swept over everyone's face.

These daimyos had just seen with their own eyes the destruction of Takeda Dazang's forces, almost instantly.There are also two daimyos, Yoshino and Ueno Mori, who have not heard from them until now, and it must be more ominous.

These bloody facts made them finally realize that their Fusang army is not as invincible as they imagined, and the Ming army is not the weak and incompetent Daming army in their impression.

Taking the enemy lightly has cost them dearly.

Everyone's face was very solemn, and no one spoke.

Finally, after a long while, someone said, "General, what do you want us to do?"

Tokugawa Hidetada was silent for a moment, and spit out four words: "Survive with a broken arm."
