"Date Masamune is good at tricks! He is also an expert in horses and cannons!!"
"What is... horse iron cannon...?"
"The horse iron cannon is... it is... it is the cavalry! The cavalry rides on the horse! Shooting the iron cannon (fire gun, which the Japanese call themselves the iron cannon)!!"
"Oh..." Xu Hui nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then I will find a place where his cavalry will be useless!!"
This conversation... took place two days ago...
And today...the ambush site with mountains to the west and dense forests to the east...is exactly the grave that Xu Hui picked for his opponent!!
"Flag! Attack!!"
After dismounting, Xu Hui calmly sat back on his commanding platform and issued the order!
After receiving the order, the ordering soldiers immediately walked out of the Chinese army's formation, facing the air and repeating the flag slogan!
When the soldiers of the Xingtian Camp in the air saw the flag message again, they immediately repeated the general's order in the air until the troops of the Shenji Battalion hidden in the dense forest and on the top of the mountain responded to the flag message!
"Your Majesty!"
For a while...
Countless flags were suddenly raised on the top of the mountain!
The black muzzles of the guns were also pointed at the Japanese soldiers!
The flying dragon flags and lotus flags fluttering in the wind were like soul-calling flags, completely shaking the souls of the Japanese army. The originally neat queue also became loose and chaotic at this moment!
The Ashigaru soldiers, who were originally farmers, dropped their iron cannons and rushed into the woods screaming... only to be shot into pieces by crossbow arrows in the forest!
The remaining elite Date Masamune and horse artillery troops were still struggling to maintain their formation, firing weakly at the top of the mountain that was more than twice the range... The result can be imagined... It was nothing more than arousing fire at the foot of the mountain.
Just pieces of dust...
And this feeble counterattack... naturally aroused the murderous intention of the Shenji Battalion!
Countless crossbow bolts suddenly shot out from the woods! Countless gunshots also suddenly sounded at the top of the mountain! Cannonballs fell from the sky accompanied by bursts of roar!!
In an instant!
The entire team of 10,000 people were beaten and turned upside down and dizzy!
Exploded corpses!
A "hedgehog" covered in blood holes!
One after another, the horrific corpses completely defeated the psychological defense of this unit! Even the horse artillery unit had deserters one after another! They quickly rushed into the woods on horseback! But before the Shenji Battalion could shoot, this group
The cavalryman had already been knocked off his horse by the tangled branches. He either fell to death on the spot, or fell unconscious on the spot, and finally died under the gunshots and crossbows!
Seeing this scene, Date Masamune laughed miserably and turned to look at his military advisor... Katakura Keetsuna...
"I! I really should have listened to your advice! Hahahaha...!!"
"boom--!!!"
"Click——!!!"
"Bang——!!!"
"Pah——!!!"
………………
The massacre... lasted for a full hour before gradually coming to an end...
The hero of the generation, Date Masamune! Together with his proud horse artillery tribe! In the end, they also came to an end in this vigorous resistance...
But what he didn't know until his death was... no matter whether he divided his troops or not, there would actually be no difference...
Because the moment this army changed from defending the city to marching hastily, their outcome was already doomed...
Marching and fighting! What I fear most are two things!
First... there is not enough food and grass, and morale is low!
Second...the marching route was predicted by the enemy!
Although the first point... it was mainly due to the mistakes of the opponent's generals that we got the good opportunity!
But the second point... the Shenji Battalion can do it at any time with the help of Xingtian, so the opponent... has long been inevitable!
This is the unequal gap in information warfare...

"Fix the bayonet——!!Clean the battlefield——!!"
"Fix the bayonet——!!Clean the battlefield——!!!"
Orders rang out from the top of the mountain and in the dense forest!
Countless Shenji Battalion infantrymen either mounted bayonets or drew their waist swords! They stabbed the corpses on the ground! Wherever they passed... blood flowed like a river... gathered into a river...
The Japanese soldiers who pretended to be dead could only pray desperately under the corpses, but they never got a response from the gods, and finally died under the sword! Then the soldiers in the second row took out all the valuable objects on their bodies from the corpses.
, and threw it into the bamboo basket in the hands of the third row of soldiers...
This kind of scene... they have long been used to it...
It's just that the enemy's corpses changed from the Hokushin Army to the Varo Army, and from the Varo Army to today's Japanese Army... There is no difference...
And the "properties" lying quietly in the basket... are full of concerns placed on them by the families of the corpses. Maybe... it is a silver comb from my wife... maybe... it is a medicine bag sewn by my mother...
…But none of that matters anymore…
Because the owners of these objects...have long since lost their lives...only a cold body is left...waiting...to nourish the earth again...to give back to the forest...81 Chinese website

"Hurry up and stop the troops cleaning the battlefield!! Reorganize your troops! Continue to pursue the main force of the Japanese army!!"
As this military order came out from the formation...
The soldiers re-lined up and marched towards the Chinese army camp with unified steps. Under the leadership of the general, they began to march quickly towards the main force of the Japanese army in the northwest!
In the dense forest... those Japanese people who were lucky enough to survive returned to the road... They did not feel happy or regretful at all, but rushed towards the dead bodies as soon as possible... and had disputes with others while groping for property and food.
…And people kept being pushed down and even killed in a pool of blood…
In the face of death and war...
Humanity...has long been gone...

And on the other side...
Cao Yuanzhao's troops, who have successively raided Utsuchi City and Yashiro City, are also advancing towards the next target... Xiaolin City...
"How's the injury on your arm? What did the doctor say?"
Cao Yuanzhao caught up with Zu Dashou on horseback and patted him on the shoulder...
And Zu Dashou didn't know whether the general did it on purpose. He couldn't shoot anywhere, but it happened to be on his left shoulder. It hurt him so much that he gritted his teeth and almost cursed...
"I was feeling better...but the shot you just made...the wound almost burst! He was killed on the spot!!" Zu Dashou said angrily to him, and Cao Yuanzhao put away the evil smile on his face and became serious.
Di replied:
"Why don't you stop riding your horse and just lie down on the cannon barrel like them...?"
"Like them??" Zu Dashou turned his head and glanced at the "captives" tied to the gun barrel, grinned directly and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your kindness, General! No need!"
"Hahahaha! I am joking with you! How about...I order someone to free up another baggage truck...?"
"The same treatment as those two 'princesses'?? Haha... I would like to express my gratitude to you..." Zu Dashou hurriedly smiled bitterly and cupped his hand, but the wound was pulled again, and he could not help but grin again...
It was only then that Cao Yuanzhao stopped pretending and asked with a wicked smile what he really wanted to ask...
"I didn't know before that you were so good at martial arts! What level have you reached? When you recover from your injury, can we compete and learn from each other?"
"The general is just in the early stage of purging his marrow...I don't dare to make a mistake in front of the general..."
"What!? You've already had your marrow cleansed!??"
"Yes, yes..."
"Oh...oh...then it's okay...you...just take good care of your injuries..."
Cao Yuanzhao slowly slowed down his horse speed... returned to the position of the central army... and remained silent...
Because he...
He's just a "little rookie" in the late stages of Qi training...
