Oda Nobunaga nodded in satisfaction.
"Sanada Yukimura, I'll leave the right flank to you. Our longsword and spearmen will be able to break through the enemy's infantry formation."
Sanada Yukimura shaded his eyes with his hand and looked into the distance. He noticed that Han Xin's infantrymen were all carrying something like a short iron pipe.
"These Great Xia people are a bunch of idiots. How can they fight a war with something like this?"
Oda Nobunaga nodded in agreement: "This thing is no more than three feet long. It has neither a sharp spearhead nor a sharp blade. To fight with an iron rod is tantamount to suicide."
“Our pikemen can poke holes all over them.”
Sanada Yukimura's warhorse kept kicking and collapsing: "Their cavalry might be able to fight, but in a moment, I, the general, will personally charge into battle. I will kill these cavalrymen of the Great Xia Dynasty and make them tremble with fear."
Soon, the sound of war drums came from the Japanese side.
The war drums beat loudly.
The bugle call resounded loudly.
Japanese spearmen and longsword users all went into battle.
They formed neat square formations and advanced rapidly in four horizontal lines.
Archers followed closely behind.
The cavalry advanced slowly on both sides, and would charge out from both sides whenever they had the opportunity.
Han Xin saw through the enemy's battle intentions clearly.
Even if all the Japanese were tied together, their heads wouldn't be as powerful as Han Xin's.
When the two sides were a kilometer apart, all the musketeers on Han Xin's side stopped.
All the musketeers were lined up in three rows, forming three horizontal lines.
A line of soldiers stood with their guns raised.
A line of soldiers crouched down, guns raised.
There was also a line lying on the ground.
All the spears in their hands were aimed at each other.
Seeing that Han Xin's infantry had stopped, the enemy was even more confused.
Oda Nobunaga paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I've never seen such a stupid way of fighting before!"
"Are these soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty courting death? What are they doing lying on the ground with short sticks? Are they going to poke our soldiers' legs?"
Sanada Yukimura: "Samurai of Japan, prepare to charge!"
Fifty thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind Sanada Yukimura; these Japanese samurai looked down on the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
"Damn it, these soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty are a bunch of idiots."
"Today I will cut off the heads of at least 20 soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Wow, I've been fighting on the battlefield for over a decade and I've never seen a fighting style like this before. They're just coming here to die, so let's not hold back."
"Today I will draw my long sword and drink the blood of these warriors of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"They are utterly vulnerable to us. Sound the charge and prepare to charge."
Sanada Yukimura led his cavalry at an increasingly faster pace, and soon, the sound of hooves filled the air.
The entire ground was shaking.
Dust billowed on the side where Sanada Yukimura charged.
The wealthy merchants and officials on the city wall nodded in satisfaction after seeing this.
When Oda Nobunaga saw this, he was immediately displeased.
Takahashi Shota, one of Oda Nobunaga's subordinates: "My lord, this battle is our home ground. Sanada Yukimura came, but he stole the spotlight from you."
Miyamoto Musashi: "My lord, look! His Majesty the Emperor on the city wall is completely captivated by Sanada Yukimura. In my opinion, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty are utterly incompetent."
Their cavalry charge is fast, so Sanada Yukimura will steal the credit for this battle.
Rantaro: "My lord, our cavalry must also launch an attack immediately. The situation is very clear now. Whoever cuts the most heads will receive the greatest merit."
Oda Nobunaga watched Sanada Yukimura depart, gritting his teeth in anger: "Sanada, you brat! You were just here to help, who gave you the courage to rush ahead of our troops?"
"Damn it, we absolutely cannot let Sanada Yukimura's cavalry steal our thunder."
"Our cavalry will now attack, and we must make our cavalry outrun theirs."
"Hai-yi..." The 40,000 cavalry under Oda Nobunaga had already sounded the charge.
Oda Nobunaga's 40,000 cavalry were personally led by Miyamoto Musashi and Rantaro.
As the clarion calls of the bugle sounded...
Oda Nobunaga's 40,000 cavalrymen launched a rapid attack from the left flank.
At this moment, Oda Nobunaga's spearmen and swordsmen saw the cavalry advancing rapidly from both sides.
They were all in a state of confusion.
"Didn't we agree that we spearmen and swordsmen would attack first?"
"These people are here to steal the credit."
"They're running so fast, we absolutely won't allow it."
"We need to get going quickly."
"Warriors, His Majesty the Emperor is watching us from the city walls. We must not cower and let others steal our thunder."
These spearmen and swordsmen rushed forward, running at breakneck speed.
A distance of over 1,000 meters is nothing to these spearmen and swordsmen.
They can run there in a few minutes.
To these spearmen and swordsmen, the musket in the other's hand seemed to pose no threat at all.
The spearmen and swordsmen shouted as they rushed forward.
They were all so tired they were practically spitting out their own saliva.
Han Xin's musketeers were all on high alert.
Han Xin waved the command flag in his hand rapidly.
