Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 47

Chuemon, who was still a few minutes away from the battlefield, smelled an indescribable smell.

On the other hand, Jiang Chuan Yingmin, who was in front of the battle, was used to seeing tens of thousands of people fighting in India back then, and scenes like mountains of corpses and blood. Not only did he look as usual, but he even had a little excitement.

“Good opportunity today!”

The Hiroshima soldiers and Tsuwa’s field soldiers were almost wiped out, and there was no enemy in about a kilometer between the two positions of the King’s Army Fushimi and Toba. This was a good opportunity to cut off the entire King’s Army and split it into two.

Defensive counterattack, first defense, then counterattack. However, the defense is not purely a dead defense. It must be flexible and maneuverable, use all means to mobilize the enemy, consume the enemy, make the enemy exhausted and demoralized, and then can counterattack.

Jiang Chuan Yingmin now wants to come to the truth, but the truth is false. The two light cavalry battalions and two lancer battalions that had been gathered back were dispatched to attack the dozen or so artillery pieces near the original Hiroshima soldiers’ positions. On the one hand, they captured or destroyed the enemy’s artillery, and on the other hand, they threatened the flanks of the two armies of Zunwang’s army with cavalry.

If King Zun’s army is directly cut off regardless of its middle, then dispatch infantry, follow up, and take over the position. The cavalry involved Toba’s troops, the infantry attacked the Fukui soldiers, and the attack and defense changed shape.

Ruozun Wang’s army fought back desperately and maintained the overall line of defense of his troops. The cavalry, with the advantage of high-speed maneuvering, quickly retreated. Of course, you can also choose to harass the enemy, which requires the camera to move. There is no such thing as “certain” beforehand, learning how to remotely control the donkey cart and the God of War a thousand kilometers away.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan Yingmin was sure that because of the respect of the king’s army, the pressure suddenly increased. The troop that Zunwang’s army mobilized and competed for must be the troops that were placed in Toba. After all, Toba’s Zunwangjun played the flank. The original main function was to establish a pocket formation, so that after the victory of Zunwangjun, Toba Toba was captured alive.

As for the opposite side, Hashimoto’s left hand holding the telescope was deadlocked for more than 30 seconds. Although he had received a very orthodox British officer education, he had never actually fought a war, and had been working as a staff officer all the year round.

He was already mentally prepared for the death of people in wars, and even Zun Wang Jun died at the end of a thousand or two thousand, and he felt that it was not completely unacceptable.

But right now…

One thousand two hundred people, a total of one thousand two hundred people, it only took five minutes, and they never saw a single standing person again, and they were completely reimbursed.

Not to mention that it is difficult for him to accept Hashimoto Zuo, and Pickett, who is next door in the United States, is also difficult to accept that he has a whole division of 8,000 people. In just 50 minutes, he completely disappeared from the world. All the middle and senior officers were killed in the battle, and only Pickett and his staff left the battlefield with tears on their faces.

“Left Nei, Left Nei, Left Nei…” Songping Qingyong lost his composure, a big gaffe.

There were also 500 Fukui soldiers inside, and they were gone in the blink of an eye. Matsudaira Qingyong didn’t cry out on the spot, he was already calm.

“There are many artillery pieces in the Chuanxi team, which is a misstep by the minister. In this case, we can no longer throw large soldiers and use artillery battles to see their flaws.” Hashimoto Zuo Nei also turned around at the call of Matsudaira Qingyong.

The cannon of the Chuanxi team was twice as high as that of the Zunwang Army. If this advantage was not removed from him, it would be difficult to launch a direct attack.

Because Matsudaira Keiyong held an important position in the shogunate, Hashimoto Zuochi naturally knew that the second Osaka Division of the Chuanxiu team had 195 cannons. Now there are hundreds of frontal artillery guns, and there are more than 20 guns attacking Hiroshima soldiers and others. It means that the right wing of the training team, facing the Changzhou soldiers, should not have too many artillery pieces.

After all, it is necessary to guard against Toba’s side, and it is impossible for Jiang Chuan Yingmin not to make a margin. When everyone studied in the UK back then, they all knew the basics of each other.

“The cavalry brigade of the Chuanxi team is rushing towards the right flank of our army!” Hashimoto Zuo Nei’s voice was not finished, and an officer who was always observing the battle situation shouted loudly.

Sure enough, hundreds of cavalry soldiers were rushing towards the right flank of the Fukui soldiers, where the Hiroshima soldiers had originally been. A distance of one thousand meters is a long distance for infantry, especially well-armed infantry. But for the cavalry already running, it was just a few breaths.

The more than ten cannons on the side of King Zun’s army were not replaced with shrapnel shells, but the original solid shells. Seeing the cavalry rushing towards them, the artillerymen turned around and ran away before they had time to shoot one round.

It’s not that their morale is low, or that their fighting spirit isn’t strong. It was Hashimoto Zuouchi who told them that it was not easy for Matsudaira Keiyong to cultivate an artilleryman who could count, and it was important to protect himself as much as possible. It is not an ordinary infantry, and the technical arms are always rarer.

Anyway, cannons, you can either build them yourself or buy them from foreigners, you can have them if you have money.

“Quickly invite the Marquis of Changzhou to attack one wing of the Chuanxiu team, and then invite the Marquis of Yuhe Island, abandon the Toba formation, and come to join my division!” Hashimoto Zuochi saw the Chuanxiu cavalry rushing to ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I roughly guessed Jiang Chuan Yingmin’s plan.

“Suddenly changing the deployment is a big taboo in the military!” Staff officer Suzuki Shigeei widened his eyes.

“If it was yesterday, I would have attacked the enemy and defended. But what I have seen just now, can my soldiers still attack?” Hashimoto Zuochi certainly did not want to easily throw the lives of his soldiers.

It was really not easy for Fukui Fan to pull out these 5,000 soldiers. They were all soldiers he brought out through hard work. It would hurt to die if one died, and it was even more impossible to leave them here in Fushimi.

“…” Suzuki Shigeei opened his mouth, and finally agreed with Hashimoto’s statement.

If you were to launch a strong attack on the Chuanxi team, with such a strong firepower of the Chuanxi team, let alone 15,000 people, if you come here with 50,000 people, I am afraid it may not be good.

With that killing speed, if you want to kill the training team, at least 10,000 people will have to die!

Who is there to die?

The loss of the storm was unexpectedly large, and it was simply not something that Zunwang’s army could bear. In this case, it is definitely necessary to adjust the strategy and deploy it again.

Before that, reunite the scattered armies into one place. Five fingers harvested a punch, maybe you can see the flaws of the Chuanxi team and hit it hard with one punch.

Yesterday, I was thinking of destroying the Chuanxi team and capturing Tokugawa Zhongzheng alive. Now we can defeat the 2nd Osaka Division, and that is the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

At this moment, Yoshida Shoin also saw the destruction of 1,200 soldiers including Hiroshima soldiers in the Choshu formation on the left flank of Fukui soldiers. Heartbroken, the time has come!

Presumably the Fukui soldiers were quite shaken at this time. Together, the Changzhou soldiers could completely destroy the Fukui formation and achieve full success.

“Report! My lord invites the Hou of Changzhou to quickly advance and attack the right wing of the Chuanxi team!”
