Chapter 585: Decisive Battle of Nine Cloud Ridge (3)
"Whew"
The cool breeze was howling, carrying a few raindrops from time to time, and in the distance, the dark clouds were drifting towards Jiuyunling with the wind, and the atmosphere seemed to be full of depression.
On the high slope on the north side, Huang Degong and other Ming troops were building artillery positions in an orderly manner, and they were not affected in the slightest.
At the foot of the high slope, dense North Korean soldiers surrounded Gao Po, their faces were still white, and they hesitated and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The cool breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and the raindrops are falling more and more.
"Crackle!" A thunderclap woke up the countless Korean soldiers besieging the high slope.
"It's raining, it's going to rain!" A North Korean soldier muttered.
Heavy rain restrains firearms, this is the iron law since firearms appeared in this world for hundreds of years, in the event of heavy rain, firearms and burning sticks are no different, this does not show that the Ming army is afraid that the sharp guns and cannons will be useless.
Realizing this, the North Korean soldiers and generals instantly lifted their spirits, and even the fear in their hearts seemed to be washed away by the rain in an instant.
At this time, Junshiro Koizumi, on the orders of the Tokugawa family, also brought 100,000 Japanese troops to surround this high slope, counting the Korean troops who surrounded one after another, a small high slope with a radius of more than 100 meters and a width of dozens of layers of Korean troops and Japanese troops were fully encircled.
Combined, the Korean army and the Japanese army exceeded 400,000, ten times more than the Ming army such as Huang Degong, who occupied Gaopo.
"It's going to rain heavily, and the Ming army will be defeated!" Junshiro Koizumi sneered as he looked at the Ming army occupying the high slope.
At present, although the Korean army and the Japanese alliance army are two hundred meters away from the Ming army on the high slope, they do not dare to attack for the time being, but they clench their swords one by one, and they are eyeing the tiger, believing that as soon as the rain pours, they will immediately rush up and tear the Ming army on the high slope to pieces.
The large number of coalition troops, coupled with the increasing density of raindrops in the sky, undoubtedly gave the Korean army and the Japanese army a great morale boost, even those strong soldiers of the Korean army who were not even as good as the rabble were doubly courageous.
On the high slope, the monk Huang Degong looked at the densely surrounded Korean Japanese coalition army at the foot of the high slope, and his face was full of disdainful sneers.
"These Koreans and Japanese invaders didn't expect that the guns of our Ming army were not afraid of heavy rain." Shang Kexi said with a sneer.
"They'll know later, they're going to hit their heads and bleed!" Huang Degong said with a smile.
"Report! The artillery camp positions have all been constructed, and one hundred and fifty-two cannons are on standby! "The generals of the artillery battalion came to report to Monk Huang Degong.
Huang Degong nodded and ordered: "Load the shells, don't be in a hurry to fire the artillery first, and then open artillery to bombard the enemy when it rains and the enemy starts to attack!" "Huang Degong wants to make the Koreans and the Japanese invaders fall from the clouds.
Now the morale of the North Korean army and the Japanese is the highest, and they are waiting for the heavy rain to fall, and Huang Degong will give them this opportunity!
At the same time, at the bottom of the hillside, the Ming soldiers at the front of the front facing the North Korean army and the Japanese army also received an order from Huang Degong to wait for the heavy rain to wait for the Korean army and the Japanese army to rush to within 70 meters before shooting.
Hundreds of front-line machine gunners held their hands on their machine guns, their fingers tightly on the trigger, ready to pull the trigger at any moment. All the infantrymen also adjusted their rifles and were ready to shoot at any time.
In fact, at this time, if there are generals of the Korean army or generals of the Japanese army who pay attention, they should be able to find some suspicions, and clearly see that the Ming army is not panicked at all about the heavy rain.
However, the iron law of hundreds of years of heavy rain restraining firearms is too ingrained in their hearts to make them subconsciously ignore these.
"Tick Tick"
The raindrops became heavier and heavier with the cool breeze, and it turned from a drizzle to a downpour.
The rain was so heavy that it instantly wet everyone's robes and armor, and even puddles began to gather on the ground.
"Haha, it's raining!" Junshiro Koizumi and many other North Korean generals all laughed excitedly.
"Boom!" Junshiro Koizumi pulled out his katana, pointed at the high slope in front of him, and shouted, "Defeat the Ming army, kill the trumpet"
"Kill," the North Korean general also shouted and ordered.
The soldiers of the Korean Japanese Coalition Army, who were besieging Gaopo layer after layer, burst out at the same time with earth-shattering shouts of killing and rushed towards Gaopo.
Like a tidal wave, the dense soldiers of the Korean Japanese alliance rushed excitedly to kill.
In particular, some soldiers of the North Korean army, when the Ming army attacked and occupied the high slope just now, they suffered heavy casualties, and they did not have the slightest temper, and they were defeated one after another, and now their opportunity to take revenge has come.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters
In just four or five breaths, the soldiers of the Korean and Japanese coalition forces rushed through the distance of 100 meters.
Eighty meters, seventy meters
It had already reached the distance where Huang Degong could fire when he gave the order.
The soldiers of the Ming army operating the machine guns and holding rifles smiled murderously, and looked at the soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army who rushed towards them like a tide, as if they were looking at the dead again.
"Fire!"
"Da Da Da"
"Bang bang bang" machine guns and rifles fired intensively at the same time.
Blood splattered, and bullets passed through a fleshy body, carrying blood and wounding the people behind.
The Korean army and the Japanese army were so dense that under this sudden blow, they fell to the ground in pieces.
"Ahhh
Blood flowed into the ditch with the rain of heavy rain, like a river of blood.
"Fire!"
At the top of the high slope, one hundred and fifty-two field artillery pieces also opened fire at the same time.
Powerful shells exploded in the midst of a dense crowd of Korean and Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army were too dense, layer after layer, almost crowded, and such a situation undoubtedly brought the power of the artillery shells to the limit, and almost every shell could kill and injure more than 10 soldiers of the Korean Japanese army.
The stumps and severed arms, screaming in the sky, shredded flesh, and blood stained the battlefield within a radius of 500 meters below the high slope into the Shura region.
The "Da Da Da" machine gun kept spitting out fire snakes, and after firing a clip of ammunition, the deputy immediately replaced it with a new clip of ammunition, and the machine gun could spit out fire snakes again in a short period of time.
The firepower of the "Bang Bang Bang" rifle was also not weak, and the dense bullets almost formed a barrage, penetrating the bodies of one North Korean and one Japanese Kou after another.
The soldiers of the North Korean Army and the Japanese Army, who had already rushed within 70 meters, were quickly cleared out of the distance of 100 meters at a speed like collapse, and they continued to be cleared of a longer distance, harvesting all the lives within the range.
Junshiro Koizumi screamed strangely, and at the same time that the soldiers in front of him fell in pieces, he fled backwards without hesitation, but he was still shot through his arm by a bullet, his eyes were full of extreme disbelief, as if the cognition in his heart was destroyed in an instant, why can the firearms of the Ming army be used in the heavy rain, this is impossible!
