Chapter 586: Decisive Battle at Nine Cloud Ridge (4)

In the distance, the King of Joseon and Tokugawa Iegang also heard the roar of gunfire here.

"No, this is impossible, why are the firearms of the Ming army not affected in the heavy rain, this is impossible!" Letting the rain wash over their faces, the King of Joseon and Tokugawa Iegang shouted at the same time, and with such a dense sound of gunfire, they could imagine how heavy the casualties of their own soldiers besieging the high slopes occupied by the Ming army were.

Tokugawa Jiagang's lips trembled a little, just now he was smiling and planning with several generals of the Japanese army around him to take advantage of the heavy rain to annihilate the Ming army, how to defeat the Korean army, capture the Korean king, and give North Korea a fatal blow.

Under the high slope, in the face of the dense firepower network of the Ming army, the flesh-and-blood soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army were quickly cleared out of a distance of more than 200 meters.

At least nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army were killed within the range of the Ming army in the impact just now.

The soldiers of the North Korean army and the Japanese army, who were gradually forced out of range, looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of them, and they were frightened one by one, their feet trembled, and their faces were pale.

Although the Korean army and the Japanese army escaped from the range of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns, the Ming army's artillery continued to fire.

The shells continued to take the lives of one North Korean and one of the Japanese invaders.

"Nope! No, "There are strong soldiers of the North Korean army who were temporarily forcibly conscripted and were stupid, and their will collapsed and they began to flee for their lives.

"Don't run, don't run!" Some North Korean generals yelled, and even in order to stop the scene, some North Korean generals killed killers and killed many soldiers who were screaming and fleeing.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a shell exploded in front of a North Korean general, tearing the North Korean general apart in an instant.

The "boom boom" shells were still exploding in other places, and although the generals of the DPRK army continued to kill the strong soldiers of the DPRK army who fled in confusion, they were still unable to stop the chaotic scene under the heavy artillery fire.

On the high slope, Huang Degong was ready to deal the final blow to the Korean army and the Japanese army.

"Order, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the position of the artillery battalion at the beginning, the whole army began to attack!"

With Huang Degong's order, in addition to the artillery battalions of two armies and 3,000 infantry left on the high slope to defend the high slope and bombard the battlefield with artillery of the Korean army and the Japanese army, the remaining more than 30,000 Ming soldiers attacked in an all-round way, forming an army formation of 3,000 or 4,000 people to attack the Korean army and the Japanese army on the high slope.

The Ming army's initiative to attack made the Korean soldiers whose will had been knocked to the bottom even more frightened, and even the Japanese who had always been fearless of death could not withstand the continuous retreat and did not dare to respond to the Ming army's edge.

Nearly ten Ming army formations, under the command of their respective generals, continued to attack the place where the Korean army or the Japanese army was the largest in the four directions.

More than 30,000 people took the initiative to attack the Korean Japanese alliance army, which was more than ten times their size, and their might was extremely overwhelming.

Heavy rain poured down, and among them, a Ming army formation of 4,000 men was killed head-on towards the position of the Japanese army where Junshiro Koizumi was located, and there were enough Japanese soldiers in this direction to 60,000.

Junshiro Koizumi immediately felt extremely insulted.

"Hachigaya Road, kill Gaga" Junshiro Koizumi pointed in front of his katana.

A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed forward, and a Ming army of 4,000 people dared to attack their 60,000-strong Japanese army without any scruples, which was too arrogant, this was an insult to the samurai, and it was unforgivable.

The machine gunners of the Ming army set up the machine guns and fired fiercely at the soldiers of the Japanese army.

"Bang bang bang" The rifles of the Ming infantry also fired intensively.

After all, it is flesh and blood, and no matter how much the Japanese are not convinced, they can't change the ending of being beaten and retreating with heavy casualties.

"Yaga!" Junshiro Koizumi's teeth were about to crush, and he stared at the Ming army machine gun that kept spitting out fire snakes, but he had no countermeasures, and could only watch his soldiers continue to fall under the guns of the Ming army.

In this direction, 60,000 Japanese soldiers could not stop a mere 4,000 Ming army formation.

In other directions, the soldiers of the Korean army, whose combat effectiveness was worse than that of the Japanese invaders, could not stop the Ming army formations attacking from all directions, and they were defeated and retreated, and even some strong soldiers of the Korean army who were forcibly recruited collapsed directly and began to rout backwards.

The 152 field artillery pieces of the Ming army erected on the high slopes continued to fire and bombarded the Korean and Japanese armies that were densely gathered everywhere, posing a great threat.

There were also some soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army who took advantage of the Ming army's dispersion into nearly ten army formations to attack and attack, wanting to attack the high slope and destroy the Ming army's artillery.

Unfortunately, there were 3,000 Ming infantry guarding the high slope, and there were many machine guns left.

Under the blockade of the intensive fire of the machine guns, not a single Korean or Japanese could hit the high slope, let alone pose the slightest threat to the Ming artillery.

Although the Korean army and the Japanese army could not advance or retreat, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they could not stop the attack of the Ming army in any direction, and could only let the Ming army crisscross the battlefield.

As the unfavorable battle reports continued to come, the faces of the Joseon king and Tokugawa Ieoka were darkened, and they were so angry that they couldn't defeat the mere 40,000 Ming troops with their 600,000 troops? Is there any reason for this?

As the various Ming army formations continued to crisscross the battlefield, they divided the Korean army and the Japanese army one after another.

"Adjust the muzzle, the shelling extends!" On the high slope, Huang Degong has been observing the situation of the battlefield, not caring about himself being drenched in the heavy rain, and calmly giving orders.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming artillery battalion began to adjust the muzzle of the gun and shelled towards the depths of Jiuyunling farther away.

There were too many soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army, adding up to more than 600,000, stretching over the entire Jiuyun Ridge, no matter how the Ming artillery extended the shelling, it could always blow up other Korean soldiers and Japanese soldiers.

The range of the Ming army's field artillery was nearly 3,000 meters, and the shells were scattered all over Jiuyunling, threatening the soldiers of the North Korean army and the Japanese army there, and no one knew where the next shell would explode, which was a psychological deterrent.

The deterrence of artillery, coupled with the overwhelming attack of the various armies of the Ming army, gradually damaged the morale of the soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two shells exploded in the base camp of the Tokugawa Ieoka, and the Tokugawa Ieoka took a big jump.

"Baga, how can this be, there has been no battle for decades, how did the Ming army become so powerful!" Tokugawa Ieoka gritted his teeth, his face darkened.

At this moment, Tokugawa Iegang had temporarily abandoned the idea of how to annex Korea after defeating the Ming army, because until now, he didn't know how to defeat the Ming army, and how to talk about annexing Korea after defeating the Ming army.
