Chapter 419: Corpses pave the way

Konishi Yukinaga led 80,000 Japanese troops to attack Jiulian City, but in the end, only 65,000 people left, and 15,000 people fell on the battlefield, plus the battle a few days ago, a full 35,000 people fell outside Jiulian City.

35,000 people, this is 35,000 people, the Japanese army did not lose so many people in the process of conquering Goryeo, and the number of dead and wounded in the conquest of the Haixi Jurchens was even less, and now it has lost so many people under one of the enemy's cities, which is too incredible.

The strength of the People's Army in Jiulian City is afraid that it will make Konishi Yukicho unforgettable for life, Konishi Yukiro no longer plans to continue to attack Jiulian City, and then wait for the battle report of Ukita Hideya, if the army commanded by Ukita Hideya also suffers defeat, then the Wa Kingdom can give up the idea of occupying the land of China.

Just when Konishi Yukinaga led his army to attack Jiulian Castle for the second time, on the other side, Ukita Hideya was also leading a large army to attack Changdian Fort.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, the Japanese army had already approached Changdian Fort, but Ukita Hideya was more cautious, the Japanese army marched for more than a day, and the body was a little tired, and it needed time to rest to recover its combat effectiveness, so it launched an attack on Changdian Fort this morning.

Jiulian City is a city, barely able to garrison 15,000 people, Changdian Fort is a larger fortress, or a small city, the city area is much smaller than Jiulian City, the city wall is also a lot lower, the People's Army is only stationed here 5,000 people, the main force has a battalion of musketeers, a battalion of Xiandeng soldiers, a battalion of grenadiers, a howitzer battalion, and other cold weapons troops.

On the night of the arrival of the Japanese army at Changdian Fort, two battalions of musketeers, a battalion of grenadiers, and a battalion of pioneer soldiers rushed to support, bringing the size of a regiment of musketeers in Changdian Fort, and two months each for grenadiers and a pioneer soldier, and the combat effectiveness was more than doubled.

The battle began, and under the command of Ukita Hideya, 100,000 Japanese troops rushed to Chodian Castle together.

The task of the defenders of Changdian Fort was not to kill and wound the Japanese army as much as possible, but to repel the Japanese army as soon as possible, and when the Japanese army entered within 1,000 meters of Changdian Fort, the howitzer battalion began to attack.

One grenade after another smashed into the array of the Japanese army, bringing small casualties to the Japanese army, but this explosive shell opened the eyes of the Ukita Hideya, if there were more of this artillery, it could also produce great power, and the Ukita Hideya thought that after capturing Changdian Fort and capturing this artillery, he would also let the Japanese build more equipment for the Japanese army.

The solid shells fired by the tiger head artillery were not as good as the howitzers, but the combat effectiveness of the musketeers could not be underestimated, and more than 250 Japanese soldiers fell in every wave of lead bullets, and for every 100 meters of advance, the Japanese army lost about 1,000 soldiers.

Ukita Hideya finally realized the feelings of Konishi Yukinaga, and he had not brought many casualties to the enemy, and his own army had dozens or hundreds of people killed at every step forward, and it was almost with the bodies of his own soldiers that he approached the enemy fortress.

Ukita Hideya led the army to conquer Goryeo and Hercynian Jurchen, this is the brilliant record of Ukita Hideya, Ukita Hideya is proud enough, the battle that began to encounter now makes the pride in the heart of Ukita Hideya gradually reced, the enemy in front of him is indeed very strong, this is the great enemy of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom wants to occupy the land of China, and must destroy the powerful enemy in front of it.

Advance! Keep moving!

After paying 6 or 7,000 casualties, the Japanese army finally came to the city wall of Changdian Fort, and just when the Japanese soldiers thought that they could successfully climb the city wall to kill the enemy on the city wall and rob the wealth and women in Changdian Fort, dozens or hundreds of grenades fell from the sky to welcome the arrival of the Japanese army.

In the continuous explosions, all the Japanese soldiers outside the city wall fell in a pool of blood, but the attack of the Japanese army did not end because thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured by grenades.

Having lost so many troops, Ukita Hideya decided that he had to capture Nagadian Fort, if even Nagadian Fort could not be captured, this time the war against Liaodong would be a complete failure, and tens of thousands of people would be lost in vain, this price Konishi Yukinaga could not bear, and Ukita Hideya could not bear it, and his position as commander would definitely be removed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The battle continued, whenever most of the Japanese under the city wall fell, the grenadiers would pause the attack, Changdian Fort stocked a large number of grenades, if you kept throwing grenades, it was a lot to kill 30,000 Japanese soldiers, and the number of Japanese outside the city was 100,000, and the grenades had to be spared.

The grenadier attack stopped, and the grenadiers thought that the KPA grenades had been thrown away, and continued to approach the city wall, and as the Japanese tried to set up a ladder to climb the city wall, the grenadiers began to throw grenades again, and the Japanese invaders under the city wall almost blew up, ending the attack again.

This pattern of attack and defense has continued for several rounds, and the Japanese army has already suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

"How many enemies are there with that firearm that can explode?"

Seeing the increasing number of casualties among the soldiers, the mentality of the Ukita Hideya was about to collapse, and they always thought that the enemy had run out of firearms, but as the Japanese army attacked, more firearms would be thrown out, as if it was inexhaustible.

From the time the Japanese army approached Changdian Fort to the present, the number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded has reached as many as 20,000, accounting for one-fifth of the number of the army, but they have not even climbed the wall of Changdian Fort.

The fierce fighting scared some of the pirates into fleeing, and as the fighting continued, the number of deserters grew, and many of them did not believe that the KPA had run out of grenades, and that no matter how much the officers tried to drive them away, they were reluctant to move forward.

When the number of Japanese casualties exceeded 24,000, and there was no hope of conquering Chojeen Fort, Ukita Hideya finally gave the order to retreat.

When you come, you will pave the road with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and when you retreat, you will also use the corpses of Japanese soldiers to pave the way!

In the end, only 71,000 Japanese soldiers and soldiers successfully withdrew from the attack range of the Changdian Fort People's Army, which means that 29,000 Japanese soldiers and soldiers fell on the battlefield outside Changdian Fort.

"Don't fight, don't fight, this enemy is too strong, we are far from being an opponent, how can we match such a powerful enemy?"

Suffering a fiasco for the first time, the young commander Ukita Hideya was disheartened, and if he knew that Konishi Yukinaga led his army to attack Jiulian Castle and lost 15,000 men, he was afraid that he really wanted to die.

20,000, 15,000, 29,000, a total of 64,000 people were lost in the three battles, and the total number of Japanese troops on the expedition was only 200,000, and almost one-third of the troops were lost.

With the fiasco, the ambition of the Ukita Hideya family was completely shattered, what to capture the land of China, even a small Liaodong, 200,000 Japanese troops could not capture, you must know that the people's army guarding the city is far smaller than the Japanese army, but the Japanese army has been defeated again and again.
