The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 389

[Chapter 384 Folk customs]

However, with the arrival of the dojo army, the iron guns and archers who were shooting in unison on the opposite side stopped for the most part.

Among them, the iron cannons were shot at a high frequency for a long time, and most of them were misfired, and 13,400 of them flew at once. The remaining 700 were also seriously damaged, and they could not be used on the battlefield again in a short time. .

As for those archers, the enemy had already hit them, so there was no reason to shoot at the river leisurely.

If they are not afraid, they are not afraid of death.

Who knew when they were shooting, someone would suddenly appear and slash him.

This kind of worry generally appeared in the hearts of tens of thousands of archers.

They are not a strictly trained regular army, and they can calm down and respond effectively to this chaos.

These tens of thousands of people were just forced to come over, basically civilians with no military literacy.

Even because of the long-term turmoil in the island country, basically every civilian has been on the battlefield once or twice, and is used to seeing blood.

But the basic fear is still there. They can’t help but tremble in the face of the dojo army who looks quite elite and uniformly dressed.

Therefore, the chaos was difficult to calm down at once. Seven or eight thousand people in the tens of thousands of people were affected. The remaining people were far away from the army crossing the river, so they could not feel much pressure.

Although it can barely maintain the shooting obstruction to the center of the river, it is quite sparse compared to the arrows that have just been brushed, and it is basically useless.

“Retreat, this blockade is useless.”

Yoshiqing Murakami looked at the increasingly chaotic friendly camp below, and the increasing number of blue troops in the dojo on the river bank, and ordered.

However, although it was said to be retreating, there was no sadness on his face, but rather joy.

The reason why he set up a large army to block it here is because he wanted to rely on the natural danger of Qianqu River to cause great damage to the army crossing the river.

In Murakami’s original expectation, with the natural danger of this big river, Dingtian could cause 5,000 casualties to the army on the opposite side, so he would be secretly happy.

Even in the hearts of many of them, although this big river is said to be wide enough (compared to the islanders), it is quite dangerous, but as long as the army on the opposite side is a little prepared, it will delay her for half a month.

At that time, everything is ready, and when we cross the river again, there may not be even 3,000 casualties. At most, there will be one or two thousand casualties.

But who would have thought that the commander-in-chief of the army on the other side was so eager for quick success and launched a river crossing operation in just three days.

There is no preparation for this, except for some bamboo rafts.

This gave Murakami Yoshikii a great surprise.

This is completely to give him a head, without any protection, to dare to go to the big river that he has set up many obstacles for a long time, it is completely courting death.

Murakami Yoshiki couldn’t help but silently thanked the commander-in-chief of the army on the other side.

At this point in the war, the blocking army has overfulfilled his task.

In the block, not only did he fail to prepare, but it was easy to fall into a stalemate, which was quite unfavorable.

So it’s better to withdraw the army to your own camp, rest for a day or two and wait for the entire army on the opposite side to cross the river, and then set up the battle dignifiedly and fight him for a fight or two.

There is nothing wrong, that is, put up a battle in an upright manner.

Before, the coalition army was horrified by the sudden destruction of the Three Kingdoms by the dojo and the formation of a large-scale army of more than 200,000 people. It was a little lost and made a mistake in judging the situation.

In addition, after seeing the appearance of the dojo army just now, the fairly uniform formation and uniform uniforms made it even more shocking and difficult to calm down.

So all of a sudden, the morale of the entire coalition army was a little down, and there was some fear of the enemy on the opposite side.

But now, after the battle across the river just now, the morale of the entire coalition army suddenly rose sharply.

Just after a morning of fighting, the coalition forces lost less than 100 people, but the opposite army crossing the river had already lost 7,000, a disparity ratio of 1:70!

Such a huge disparity made the coalition army’s heart rise all of a sudden, and unknowingly, there was a kind of contempt for the army on the opposite side of the dojo.

Even the high-ranking commanders like Yoshiki Murakami inevitably showed arrogance, and the original tension in their hearts disappeared, and they even felt ashamed of their fears just now.

What’s more, people like Yoshiki Murakami are quite confident about the combat effectiveness of the army under their command.

It has been said before that the Shinano country is located in the center of several countries, connecting Echigo to the north, Hida to the northwest, Mino to the west, and Ueno and Musashi to the east.

To the south is the Kingdom of Jiafei, and to the southeast are the Kingdom of Mikawa, the Kingdom of Yuanjiang, and the Kingdom of Suruga.

It can be said that the surroundings are surrounded by powerful enemies, and everyone is eyeing the Shinano country, treating it as a piece of fat, and can’t wait to rush up and take a bite.

In this extremely harsh environment, it can be said that the nobles in every part of the Shinano country have fought with the famous names of other countries, and there are many conflicts in their own country, and it is also a series of wars.

In addition, there are many mountains in the country of Shinano, and most of the people are hunters and farmers. The identities between the two are not fixed and cross each other.

After a long time of fighting with beasts, coupled with the occasional combat experience, it can be said that every adult man is quite sturdy, and there is no lack of blood and courage in his heart.

In the usual many wars with foreign daimyo, as long as it is of the same scale and the same elite, the side of the Shinano country often wins.

It can be said that the reputation of local tyrants in Shinano country is quite famous in the whole world.

Therefore, there is absolutely no psychological pressure on the coalition forces to fight a large-scale joint battle next, let alone fear, and even they are quite looking forward to it.

Being frightened by the army of the dojo before, it made them feel ashamed.

Coupled with the invasion of the outsider, the army of the dojo, based on the mentality of regional xenophobia, the coalition forces are quite disgusted by this foreign invader.

This kind of people who came to break their peaceful life, even if their life is quite a war, but as long as they are outsiders, they can’t allow them to come to bully the locals like them.

It is also this kind of xenophobia that led to the fact that there were no powerful foreign daimyo who defeated local local tyrants and occupied an area before.

But in the end, it was because the untouchables in the territory continued to rebel against the rule of these big names.

No matter how these big names appease them, these untouchables just refuse to accept their kindness and insist on making trouble.

Therefore, many big names finally gave up and quit because they could not bear the continuous harassment.
