The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 98 The Collapsed U.S. Army

There are no officers or generals among the soldiers on trial, so their fighting methods are often straightforward, relying on fighting instincts to fight.

Although there is mutual cooperation, there are very few battles in formation.

If you are a level 2 trial soldier, you may still have some formation awareness, but the level 1 soldiers are basically killing monsters.

The American line infantry could not help but look terrified when they saw thousands of ancient soldiers wearing bamboo hats on their heads and wearing straw sandals who launched a fearless charge.

After witnessing the desperate fighting methods of these ancient soldiers, the American officers and soldiers did not want to continue fighting.

The U.S. artillery still began shelling under the command of the officer. A solid bullet was lucky enough to shoot into the crowd, and there were bursts of bone cracking and flesh and blood separation as it passed. Even if it fell to the ground, several people were bounced Japanese ashigaru's calf cut off.

A Japanese ashigaru with a broken leg crawled on the ground twice, then suddenly stopped, pulled out the dagger he carried with him with a face full of enthusiasm, and shouted to the sky: "Onboard!!!"

Puff~~~
A handful of hot blood spewed out from his throat, and the Japanese ashigaru with a broken leg who fell to the ground and died quickly turned into blue light and disappeared.

After the baptism of solid bullets and flower bullets, the Japanese ashigaru archers finally entered the effective range. Under the continuous shooting of lead bullets, they raised their bows and arrows and threw them into the sky while charging!
"Get ready~~~"

An American officer was holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, and just after shouting a word, an arrow floating from nowhere precisely pierced his cheek.

Driven by the inertia of the arrow, the officer fell to one side, staring at a pair of terrified eyes, coughing blood continuously, and soon lost his breath.

The U.S. line infantry who were queuing up to be shot kept falling under the rain of arrows thrown over them.

Although the bows and arrows used by Japanese ashigaru are very ordinary, they shoot at a short distance, and they still use projectiles!

In addition, the U.S. line infantry did not wear armor, and they were shot down in pieces!
Not surprisingly, the rhythm of the gun platoon was quickly broken, and the line infantry fell into a state of free shooting.

At this time, a large square formation of thousands of muskets on each of the two wings moved towards the battlefield, intending to form a cross-fire at the enemy in the middle from the two wings.

Originally, this was a very correct tactical choice. On the conventional battlefield in this world, no army can withstand the firepower of three-sided shooting.

It's a pity that General Gates overestimated the morale of the U.S. line infantry who were fighting head-on, even if they were the "elite" U.S. troops selected by General Gates.

At the moment when the Japanese ashigaru slammed in with the spear, in just a few minutes, thousands of frontal U.S. line infantry fell apart!
The Japanese ashigaru followed the routed soldiers and chased them to the second line without fear of death. Under the rhythm of the routed soldiers, the U.S. infantry on the second line of defense only lasted 10 minutes longer...

It wasn't until this time that the U.S. troops on the two wings began to form a pincer attack on the Japanese Ashgaru in the center.

However, the Japanese Ashgaru who were shot from the two wings immediately separated two groups of people, and charged towards the phalanx of guns on the two wings respectively.

Immediately afterwards, more and more Japanese ashigaru joined this charge.

Under the situation of successive charges and the collapse of tens of thousands of friendly troops, the American line infantry on both wings were quickly defeated by the Japanese Ashgaru, who were less than half of them!

Hundreds of U.S. cavalry rushed into the battle group, trying to save the situation, but the Japanese spear ashigaru, who was not afraid of death, slowed down the charge with his life, and finally fell into the siege of the Japanese ashigaru, and none of the cavalry escaped...

At this moment, a more fatal problem occurred. The US artillery discovered that they had run out of explosive ammunition!
In the previous battles, due to the large number of mortars and the good killing effect of the explosive bullets, and General Gates did not expect to experience so many battles, all the explosive bullets he carried were used up at this moment.

Not even the grape shells left for the field guns...

After losing this big killer, the U.S. military lost even the opportunity to reorganize its forces.

During the pursuit of the Japanese ashigaru, many American soldiers had no hope of escaping and began to turn around and fight back. The two sides fought until dark!
After the more than 1000 Japanese ashigaru who won the final victory dealt with all the living people they could see, they aimed at Yuri's troops.

This time, Yuri made an obvious miscalculation. He didn't expect that there were still 2 US troops who would be almost wiped out by only 5000 Tier 1 trial soldiers!
Under Yuri's observation, there was no longer an organized U.S. military force before dark. If it weren't for the lack of unified command and organization of the trial soldiers, the battle would have ended long ago.

It was the scattered pursuit of Japanese ashigaru that made many American soldiers who could not escape struggle to resist.

Because these American soldiers fought back in order to survive, coupled with their superiority in weapons, they achieved considerable results.

So the battle didn't really end until it got dark and the visibility became low, and American soldiers could escape through the night.

Otherwise, the two sides will still fight in survival and pursuit.

More than 1000 Japanese ashigaru did not attack Yuri's headquarters at the same time. First, some of the Japanese ashigaru who lost their killing targets marched towards Yuri's headquarters, and then died under shelling and volleys of guns without accident.

There are torches everywhere in Yuri's headquarters. Although it is not as accurate as during the day, it can also guarantee to resist the enemy from a hundred meters away.

During the battle, the rest of the Japanese ashigaru who had lost their targets also gradually gathered towards Yuri's troops.

However, this refueling tactic is the favorite of Yuri's soldiers.

The small group of Japanese Ashigaru could not break through Yuri's firepower network, and due to the high-intensity fighting during the day, the Japanese Ashigaru's physical strength was no longer able to launch a full charge again.

Many Japanese ashigaru are panting and holding weapons and attacking in a walking way...

It is conceivable how many rounds of gunfire they will encounter when they approach Yuri's line of infantry!

In this way, the gunshots rang out in the middle of the night, and all the Japanese ashigaru who were refueling were wiped out.

After seeing the results of the lottery, Yuri felt a little regretful.

However, fatigue quickly hit him, and after giving a few simple instructions, he returned to the camp to rest.

At this very moment, General Gates, who had fled back to Wilmington, was staying up late to write a 'review' by the light of an oil lamp with a sad face.

General Gates understood that in this defeat he had lost one of the main forces of the United States of America, and his political career had come to an end.

But he had to submit his intelligence summary about Yuri to the United States of America committee.
