Chapter 2387 Lu Fengxian VS Hattori Hanzo

Chapter 2383: Lu Fengxian VS Hattori Hanzo

Hattori Hanzo's ninja army can be said to be a crouching tiger and a dragon. Not only does Hattori Hanzo, the half-step master, but also several masters, there are more than a dozen first-rate ninjas, and as many as two to three hundred first-rate and second-rate masters. There are so many people.

From this it can be seen that the individual combat power of the ninja army is actually very strong, and few armies can match it.

 But unfortunately, their profession is also ninja, not soldiers.

As the name suggests, ninjas are a shady profession. They are good at sneak attacks, assassinations, poisoning, hiding, etc., but they are not good at fighting.

 War is never a matter of one person, and soldiers gather weak individuals into a strong group.

Although Oda Nobunaga organized these six thousand ninjas into an army, this ninja army was only a formal group, but it was still divided from each other internally, and there was no real unity at all.

 So, a ninja can easily kill an ordinary soldier.

 But if a hundred ninjas faced a hundred soldiers, it would not be that easy to win.

But if a thousand ninjas faced a thousand soldiers, then the ninja side would definitely lose.

 An army of a thousand men can form a formation to fight against the enemy. With one thousand men united as one, they can exert a combat power several times greater than their own.

Thousands of ninjas fight on their own, and their fighting power is scattered, so they cannot use their full fighting power.

This is just an example of infantry, not cavalry.

 As the king of a hundred soldiers, cavalry fighting in an organized manner is much more terrifying than infantry.

 As for Hattori Hanzo's six thousand ninja army, this time their opponents were nearly ten thousand elite cavalry.

 Their fate has already been determined.

After the ninja army was exposed, Guo Jia directly ordered Lu Bu to attack before the fake food and grass were burned.

After receiving Guo Jia's order, Lu Bu immediately led the Dragon Cavalry Army, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Suwei Tiger Cavalry and Tianwu Army to attack.

After running for hundreds of miles, the cavalry finally arrived at the place where the food and grass were burned, but the buildings were already deserted, and no one could be found, and there was not even a trace.

Dugu Qiubai, who accompanied the army on the expedition, judged that although ninjas were good at hiding, they could never disappear into thin air, let alone six thousand ninjas?

Dugu Qiubai and the people with Heibingtai quickly discovered the traces of the ninja army after some investigation, and judged from the traces that the enemy army had not left for a long time. If they pursued it at full speed, they would be able to catch up quickly. catch up.

 Dugu Qiubai pointed out the direction of the pursuit for the army. Lu Bu made a prompt decision and launched a pursuit at full speed. He only pursued the ninja army for less than ten miles before catching up with the ninja army.

From this it can be seen that although the speed of ninjas is fast, it is still compared to infantry, and compared with cavalry, there is no comparison at all.

Hattori Hanzo is known as the God of Ninja, so he naturally has a few brushes. When Lu Bu's cavalry was still five miles away, he knew that he was being targeted, and the cavalry was chasing him.

Hattori Hanzo obviously also knew that with the six thousand ninjas in his hands who were not familiar with formations, it was okay to carry out sneak attacks and assassinations, but if they were to face the well-organized cavalry on the plains, they would definitely not be their opponents.

 The distance of five miles is just a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

 But for ninjas, they can't run very far at all.

Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, they could not fight them, nor could they escape.

Facing such a desperate situation, Hattori Hanzo had no idea at all. Just when he was hesitating whether to disperse and escape, Lu Bu's army had already caught up.

Thousands of cavalry roared towards them, and their momentum was like an overwhelming force, which was intimidating.

Hattori Hanzo was shocked when he saw this, and quickly shouted: "Get together quickly and join forces to fight the enemy."

 Plain terrain, six thousand ninjas with only Japanese swords and shurikens, and no armor, facing heavily armed cavalry, if the formation is still scattered, it is really not much different from seeking death.

After catching up with the ninja army, Lu Bu was naturally overjoyed, but he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he planned to wait for the cavalry at the rear to catch up before launching a thunderous strike.

In Lu Bu's eyes, this army of ninjas in front of him is already fat on the lips, and they can eat it whenever they want. After all, no matter how hard they run, they can't outrun his cavalry.

Four cavalry armies followed Lu Bu on the expedition. In addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei state, the Suwei tiger cavalry of the Wu state and the Tianwu army of the Song state could not keep up with the dragon cavalry army marching at full speed, so they were defeated and left behind.

However, this is a matter of course. The Song State is located in the south, and the Wu State is a southern prince. How can the cavalry in the south be as good as that in the north.

Seeing that Lu Bu did not attack directly, Hattori Hanzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He clumsily commanded his men to form a circular formation, regardless of whether the ninja could take advantage of the formation, and at the same time prepared the long-range attack method of Kunai Shuriken.

“Haha, Zilong, look, these ninjas have formed an alliance.” Lu Bu said with a laugh.

Zhao Yun looked forward and suddenly didn't know what to say.

A group of ninjas with only Japanese swords, not spearmen, and not even a shield, actually want to form a circular formation to resist the cavalry? This is too whimsical.

 Zhao Yun shook his head speechlessly, these ninjas were dead.

 “Hattori Hanzo, does he know how to fight? This is too stupid.”

 “I have a lot of experience, this is the first time I see someone who dares to fight with the cavalry like this.”

All the generals of the Qin army also laughed, and they all mocked Hanzo Hanzo for his incompetence.

Hattori Hanzo will definitely be able to fight, and he even defeated the Wei army, but in such a desperate situation, let alone him, even if Oda Nobunaga came, there would be nothing he could do.

“Fengxian, Suwei Huqi and Tianwu Army have followed.” Zhao Yunhui reported.

 Lü Bu nodded, raised the Thunder God's Halberd high, and shouted: "Attack with the whole army."

"kill…"

Zhao Yun, Cao Chun, Han Qinhu, Zhao Yong, Shutun Tongzi, Su Quanzhong, Gao Huaide and other generals, as well as tens of thousands of cavalry, all shouted in unison. The turtle shell rushes to kill.

  【Ding dong, Lu Bu's skill "Dragon City Flying General" is activated with effect 2. When leading the cavalry in battle, his own command +4 and force +4;

  Lü Bu: Commander 91 (+6), Force 108 (+6), Intelligence 62 (+1), Politics 58, Charisma 97 (+2);

 Equipment: Thunder God Halberd, Dragon Tongue Bow +1, Red Rabbit Horse +1;

 At present, Lu Bu's commander has increased to 95, and his military strength has increased to 114;】

After seeing the momentum of the charge of thousands of cavalry, Hattori Hanzo suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and shouted quickly: "The enemy is coming, prepare your shurikens quickly, and wait for the cavalry to get closer to 150 meters before shooting."

 “Hai.”

 Six thousand ninjas shouted in unison, clenching the shurikens in their hands, preparing to give the heavy cavalry in front a fatal blow.

The shuriken of a ninja is powered entirely by manpower. Its accurate range is within a hundred meters. After that, it loses its accuracy.

Hattori Hanzo allowed the target to be fired from 150 meters away, naturally because the enemy cavalry was in a dense formation and could still hit even if it was not accurate.

 800 meters  600 meters

 Four hundred meters

 Three hundred meters

 Two hundred meters

 One hundred and eighty meters

 Only when facing the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry can one realize what kind of despair it is.

The closer the cavalry in front got, the more fearful the ninjas felt, but none of them ran away because two legs couldn't run as fast as four.

The ninjas originally wanted to bring the cavalry closer to 150 meters before fighting, but they did not expect that the cavalry had already drawn their bows and fired arrows at them from 400 meters away.

　　咻, 咻, 咻…

Nearly ten thousand crossbow arrows were fired at them like raindrops.

　　The ninjas who saw this scene all opened their mouths with horror on their faces.

Hattori Hanzo was even more horrified when he saw this. He only thought of gathering ninjas to resist the cavalry charge, but he ignored that the cavalry's cavalry shooting was even more powerful than the charge. Gathering together would be a living target for the cavalry.

 In fact, Hattori Hanzo cannot be blamed for this. Most of the Japanese generals lacked experience in dealing with cavalry.

There were not many war horses in Japan, and the number of cavalry was even smaller. The only cavalry that could fight had been almost used up in the war.

Faced with tens of thousands of cavalry in a battle like this, let alone the ninja Hattori Hanzo, not even Oda Nobunaga had ever encountered it.

 “No, get away quickly.”

Hattori Hanzo shouted in panic, but immediately after, arrows rained down.

　　咻, 咻, 咻…

The ninjas had no time to escape. A large number of ninjas were hit by arrows, and screams continued.

 “Spread out, spread out quickly…”

 Hattori Hanzo continued to shout.

Hearing this, the ninjas tried to spread out as much as possible while blocking and dodging.

 Soon, the first round of arrow rain ended.

Hattori Hanzo looked around and estimated in his mind that in this round of cavalry shooting, nearly 600 ninjas fell to the ground on his side, which directly reduced one-tenth of his troops.

If we can do this for ten more rounds, we can probably wipe out our own team directly, which is not bad.

“Spread out and fight with the Han people, kill them.”

Hattori Hanzo fell from one extreme to another, and actually led the remaining ninjas to launch a countercharge against the cavalry.

After the ninjas dispersed, the effect of cavalry shooting was greatly reduced. The second and third rounds of mounted shooting combined failed to kill 500 people, of which 400 were shot by the Qin and Wei armies.

The cavalry skills of the Wu and Song cavalry were so poor that they could not shoot accurately. However, even though they were all equipped with stirrups and saddles, some cavalry fell off their horses during the process of cavalry shooting.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were completely speechless when they saw this scene. They did not expect that even after the second year of Shenwu, there would be such cavalry among the Han princes, and they were not even as high as the second-line cavalry of Great Qin.

 After three rounds of cavalry shooting, the Han cavalry also entered the shooting range of the ninjas. The ninjas began to throw shurikens, kunai and other hidden weapons with all their strength.

These hidden weapons are quenched with poison, and the poison is very strong. Once they hit, the cavalry will lose their combat effectiveness even if they are not killed.

But the Han cavalry that rushed over, even if they were all light cavalry, were all wearing battle armor. Although their defensive power was not as good as that of heavy armor, and they could not protect themselves from crossbows, they could still withstand hidden weapons.

Most of the hidden weapons projected by ninjas were blocked by the armor. Only a few unlucky people were hit by hidden weapons in their exposed arms and thighs.

 Besides, the ones most often hit by hidden weapons are war horses. After all, light cavalry mounts are not equipped with vests.

However, the poison resistance of war horses is much stronger than that of humans. Even if they are hit by poison darts, they will not fall to the ground directly, but will gradually slow down and then fall to the ground due to the poison.

The distance of 150 meters was only enough for the ninjas to fire five rounds of hidden weapons. However, at the end of the five rounds, less than 500 Han troops fell from their horses. On the contrary, thousands of ninjas died from crossbow arrows.

 The next step is naturally a close fight.

Hattori Hanzo swung his sword and slashed with half-moon sword energy. The five cavalrymen who rushed towards him had no ability to resist. They killed them in the middle and died tragically on the spot.

  Crazy Kotaro, Fujibayashi Nagato Mamoru, Mochizuki Izumo Mamoru, Kato Danzo and other master-level ninjas also began to use their own methods and show off their skills. All the Han cavalry who came close to them died tragically at their hands.

In addition to them, those ninjas with superb, first-rate, second-rate, and even third-rate strength also swung their swords to slash at the oncoming cavalry.

But these cavalry are too fast and charge too fiercely. A third-rate or second-rate ninja cannot avoid the collision of the cavalry, let alone hit the cavalry.

  Only ninjas with first-class strength and above can avoid the impact of cavalry and counterattack in infantry combat.

 But this is obviously not absolute

Boom…

 A top-notch Jonin, when faced with a side-by-side collision of five cavalry, had no time to dodge and was directly knocked away by the cavalry.

After being hit, this ninja's internal organs were ruptured and he fell to the ground. Like those second-rate and third-rate ninjas, he was trampled to a pulp by the cavalry behind him.

Unless one has practiced external skills to an advanced level, no matter whether one is second-rate, first-rate, or even super-first rate, once he is hit by a cavalry charging at full speed, the result will be the same. He will definitely be seriously injured and unable to get up.

And if you are hit in such a situation and fall to the ground, there is only one outcome, which is to be trampled into a pulp.

 As soon as the first first-class ninja was killed, there were second, third and fourth ones immediately, and the first super first-class ninja was killed.

Most of these ninjas who were organized into the army were brothers from the same sect, and they had a good relationship with each other. However, the brothers died tragically at the enemy. This also inspired the ferocity of many ninjas, and for a time it also caused trouble to the cavalry. There will definitely be casualties.

After cutting the cavalry off the back of the horse, some ninjas got on their horses, but after they got on, they found that the horses simply obeyed them. Ninjas who did not know how to ride had limited their combat power when they got on the horses, and were then stabbed by the cavalry from all around. Hacked to death.

Seeing the death of more and more ninjas, including their disciples and disciples, the masters led by Hattori Hanzo were completely angered and began to slaughter the cavalry around them without sparing any effort.

 And the actions of Hattori Hanzo and others to clear the army soon attracted the attention of Lu Bu and other generals.
