Chapter 1158: Silly King's Counterattack!
"The whole team! The whole team! Dense phalanx! Dense phalanx! ”
"Attention of all companies, check the ...... of firearms, bayonets, ammunition"
The twelve battalion commanders under the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth regiments of the Ming Army's Young Guards were all holding the handles of their waist knives in their hands, walking around in front of their respective battalion phalanxes, and from time to time making shouting sounds.
In front of them, twelve battalion-sized phalanxes were neatly arranged, clusters of torches shining brightly, bayonets reflecting the firelight, shining a terrifying light in the night.
The four regiments of the Young Guards of the Ming Army are ready for battle!
Tang Dynasty. Huang. Jose's temporary third regiment in the Central Valley had already been beaten by these four regiments with absolute superiority until the whole army was annihilated, and the gunshots and explosions that had been emitted before were actually deliberately made by Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren to confuse the Spaniards.
And most of the Ming officers and soldiers were recuperating in the afternoon, in order to launch a decisive offensive against the Spaniards this evening!
Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren didn't know at this time that Zhu Cihuan had gone to the peach blossom luck, and even his career, which had been sluggish, had improved, and they thought that the stupid prince was about to promise the country in a blink of an eye...... Oh, his situation can be regarded as a promise to the country, right? A promise is still a lifetime!
Although Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren don't care about Zhu Cihuan's life or death - everyone knows that this stupid prince doesn't like the Son of Heaven, and now he has cheated the emperor's pension money, it is estimated that he is a commodity that no one loves and no one loves! But as ministers, Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren still have to work hard to save the stupid prince, this is a matter of attitude!
A good attitude can prove that they are loyal ministers!
In addition to the problem of attitude, tonight's general attack was also life-threatening for the infantry regiments of the four Young Guards who had leapt more than 800 miles.
If they could not break through the long valley that the Spaniards were holding onto, they would have suffered heavy losses. Behind them is more than 800 miles of mountain roads, and there is basically no supply along the way (there is no other way than fishing, hunting and robbing Indian tribes), and there is a possibility that they will be pursued by the Spaniards! This return must not lose three to five thousand people?
Therefore, you can't retreat, you can only rush forward at all costs! Break through the defenses of the Spaniards, rush all the way into the Satsuma River Valley, force down the Shimazu family, and then sweep through all of California!
Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren had already gone to the front of the north entrance of Changgu at this time, and they were behind a hill listening to Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Sixth Regiment, report on the enemy situation. And the commanders of the seventh, eighth, and ninth regiments were also here, waiting for Qi Yuanbi and Yu Daren to give the order to attack.
"There are at least four or five regiments of the Spanish Army! It was also accompanied by a considerable number of Japanese soldiers, and those Japanese soldiers were very fierce and could fight better than the Spaniards! Half of the muskets they used were flintlock pistols and half were arquebuses. There are also 6 6-pound runs! The construction of the breastwork has already begun, from the slopes on both sides to the bottom of the valley. But there were no trenches, no deer......
Through the interrogation of the prisoners, it was learned that there was still a fortification at the south entrance of Hase, which was about a regiment of Spanish troops entrenched. In addition, there were two regiments of Spanish troops and more than 1,000 Shimazu troops besieging the Honjoji Temple, where the prince was stationed...... Admiral, Commander, we must attack immediately, otherwise the prince will be in danger! ”
Qi Yuanbi glanced at Yu Daren.
"Admiral, there are already 12 battalions ready, ready to launch a round of assault at any time!"
The four regiments had a total of 16 battalions, four of which were already stationed at the north entrance of Hase and the seized camps, and 12 were ready for service. However, the width of the valley in front of them is limited, and 12 battalions cannot be opened, so they can only take turns to attack!
Qi Yuanbi nodded, "Has the order of the impact been set?" ”
"It's set!" Yu Daren said, "All battalions are already in place. ”
"Let's get started! Tomorrow before dawn, we have to rush into the Satsuma Valley! Even if you fill it with human lives, you have to fill the defense line of the Spaniards! Do you understand? ”
"Got it!"
The four regimental commanders below him all saluted and turned to leave.
They all understood this truth, the Young Guards rushed for 800 miles, and there was no retreat. And how many catties and taels the Spaniards and the Japanese who are attached to them are already known to everyone from last night to now.
As long as the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Young Guards are released, there is no reason why they cannot be defeated!
The four regimental commanders all walked in the direction of their respective regimental headquarters, and the regimental headquarters of each regiment also moved to the front line, right behind the 12 infantry battalions that were preparing to attack.
With bursts of piercing suona sounds, the night attack of the Young Guards began again!
Under the moonlight, the cold light of steel rose and fell like waves, and the hundreds of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the infantry battalion that were the first to rush to the battlefield marched forward with neat steps, pointing to the north entrance of Hase......
......
When the north exit of Hase was striking again, the Marquis of Gaspara was waiting for Shimazu Mitsuhisa and Shimazu Nayoshi father and daughter in a tent outside Honshoji Temple. According to the order he brought, the Japanese soldiers in the two regiments originally assigned to De Belasco, as well as the Japanese soldiers in Satsuma Valley Castle, were all gathered and handed over to Shimazu father and daughter, plus the Japanese samurai commanded by Shimazu Noyoshi before, a total of more than 2,000 people.
The old marquis told them to disengage from the Ming army of the Honjo Temple, and then rest for a night, and go to the battle under the Duke of Florida early tomorrow morning.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa received his order at dusk.,It's all night.,Why haven't you come back yet? Is it because it is dark and blind, and you have taken a fork in the road? Won't they light torches? It's so stupid!
The Marquis of Gaspara yawned, a little tired.
Where can a person of his age be the same as when he was young, sleeping all night after night? When you are tired, you may have to see God in advance...... Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard dense footsteps outside.
Mitsuhisa Shimazu is finally here?
As soon as the Marquis of Gaspara thought of a few words to be confessed, he immediately went to bed, and his mood suddenly improved, and he got up from the marching bed and strode out of the camp.
When he got out of the camp, he realized that something was wrong, and by the moonlight, he seemed to see a large group of people rushing towards the camp where he was!
What's going on? Who are they? Why not light a torch?
When he was wondering, the German mercenaries guarding the camp were already shouting in stiff Spanish: "Who are you talking about?" ”
"We are the samurai of the Shimazu family, and we have been ordered to come to see His Excellency the Marquis of Gaspara!"
Some of them replied in Spanish in a loud voice.
Marquis Gaspara thought to himself: How did Mitsuhisa Shimazu bring all the Japanese samurai to me?
At this time, two Germans had already greeted him with torches, and by the light of the torches, the Marquis of Gaspara saw a large man in armor standing in the middle of a group of dwarfs. The big man seemed to be carrying a long spear.
Who is this man? The Marquis of Gaspara was a little puzzled: how did he grow so tall?
At that moment, the big man suddenly shouted, and then lowered his spear flat, pointing straight at the camp of a German mercenary cavalry regiment where Marquis Gaspara was.
What is this for? Before the Marquis of Gaspara could react, the two German mercenaries who came forward had already shouted: "Attack! Raid! The Japanese are enemies! ”
The Japanese are enemies?
The Marquis of Gaspara was about to do something, when he saw a flash of fire in front of him, and then he felt that something had hit him twice in the chest, and then there was an unbearable pain and a deafening gunshot!
Not good...... The Marquis of Gaspara already knew bad when he fell, the Japanese had defected, and New Spain was going to be defeated!
And it looks like I'm going to see God soon! No, it's possible to see Satan! I have many sins! There's no indulgence to sell right now...... What a trick!
