Bang dang! Bang dang ......" There was a gong sound from the middle army of the Ming army. On the square formation of several hundred households on the edge of the left flank, the generals on horseback turned their heads to watch, and saw several cyan pennants of the Chinese army waving to the east. The generals raised their heads one after another and shouted: "Turn right, retreat!" ”

Hundreds of teams of households carried the military flags, lined up and ran, and moved between the phalanxes to the east in two columns.

By the time the Japanese soldiers were panting with their mouths wide open and running close to the Ming army's main formation, the phalanx on the edge of the Ming army had already run away to the middle. After the column, in the midst of the dust, neat rows of firearms were facing the west. Three rows of light infantry, wearing wide-brimmed iron helmets and cloth visors, seemed to have been waiting in line.

The faces of the Japanese soldiers who had reached the front were already one or twenty paces away, and the faces of many of them had surprised and ominous expressions on their faces.

Originally, the Japanese army was dispatched by surprise soldiers, but when they rushed over, they found that the opponent had already prepared, and they didn't have to think about it, they would feel very bad. However, a large number of Japanese soldiers had already launched an attack, and it was difficult to change tactics at this time. The crowd in front of them shouted, and continued to rush forward.

"Bang bang...... the front of the Ming army, firing one after another, and the dense sound of fire guns came and went.

The battlefield suddenly howled everywhere, and Japanese soldiers continued to fall to the ground. The foot soldier leaned forward because of running, and after being shot, he gnawed on mud in his mouth. The samurai on horseback flipped on his back, and the scene was very tragic. The soldiers who did not die were turning around and fleeing.

But suddenly there was a roar: "Onboard! The crowd of Japanese soldiers in the west shouted and rushed desperately again.

After a short break on the Ming army's position, the second row of guns in each formation began to fire volleys again. Countless firearms were fired in three rounds, leaving many corpses on the battlefield, as well as wounded soldiers fluttering on the ground, and the remnants of the fleeing soldiers scattered in all directions.

However, the Japanese army had not retreated, and the crowd that came up after continued to shout and run, and the scene was very crazy. Even the defeated troops who were scattered were not able to contain too many Japanese troops who continued to charge and kill.

The light infantry of the Ming army ran out of fire and did not reload in place, and they retreated from the gap in the heavy infantry queue behind. As soon as the light soldiers left, three separate gun carriages were revealed.

Behind the artillery carriage was a heavy infantry formation, and the appearance of the heavy infantry covered in iron was very terrifying, and the sergeant's whole body was almost only showing a face. They wore bare iron helmets that resembled Yongzi helmets, but lacked characters and lacquer; The ear and neck guards are chain mail, and the large pieces of iron-forged scale armor on the body and the heart goggles are shining. In addition to their armor, the sergeants also had a wooden shield covered with riveted iron, and their weapons were long spears with wrought iron heads mounted on wooden poles. This kind of heavy infantry is like a lump of iron, and few people will have the desire to attack.

The Japanese follow-up men and horses, but completely ignored what was ahead, and in the midst of a shout, the chaotic crowd ran in.

After waiting for a while, suddenly the three cannons "boomed" and fired, and after the flames shone brightly, scattered bombs flew towards the battlefield like raindrops. The crowd of Japanese soldiers seemed to have been cursed suddenly, and people fell to the ground one after another. The survivors in the back just came to their senses and turned around and scattered.

A samurai thrust his sword into the ground, bracing himself up and trying to get up, but soon fell to the ground again.

However, in the depths of the smoke and dust in the west, there was soon another shout: "...... on board" Countless figures swayed, and many people were still rushing forward.

A voice in the Ming army said: "The Japanese have few roots. ”

Then the voice of the military general shouted loudly: "Meet the enemy!" ”

The soldiers of each team moved closer to the middle, and the gap between the people no longer existed, forming a denser flat phalanx. A row of iron shields is like a long tortoise shell, and the spears placed on the edge of the shields are like turning phalanxes into hedgehogs. The spears in the second row were also leveled between the two men in the front row, and the gun formation was very dense.

The Japanese army finally rushed to the front, but they did not come up to fight, and lingered in front of the battle just to breathe, and the scene was very strange. The heavy infantry of the Ming army was only arrayed in place, with no intention of counterattacking at all, as if they were waiting for something.

A samurai brandished a sword, shouted, and finally rushed up with a few spearmen around him. But soon there were two screams, and the samurai was armed with his sword in both hands, and the bloody head of the spear was exposed on his back, and then he was stabbed again, and the man fell on his back.

"Whoosh......" A burst of arrows flew in the air, landing in the Ming army's formation, and the "clanging" made a crisp sound.

At this moment, the sound of a horn "Woo ......" came from the south, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear. In the crowd of Japanese soldiers in front of the battle, there was finally a commotion, and many people began to run back.

"Ahh Suddenly, a samurai in armor rushed towards the gap between the Ming army's formations, desperately rushing towards him.

But the frantic shouts soon came to an abrupt end, and behind the phalanx there was a Ming general on horseback, who placed an arrow at a distance of about ten paces, and the arrow pierced the samurai's breastplate. The samurai immediately stood still with his sword in hand.

A moment later, a general with a sword rushed over. The Ming knife is thin and long, or called the Miao knife, because of the southwest Ming army perennial

Fighting against the raw Miao people, the weapons of the Miao Han are somewhat assimilated. The general swung his sword sideways for half a circle, gained momentum, and then swung it to the right side of his head, slashing down diagonally. With a bang, the samurai raised his sword to block, but he didn't block it at all, and the long knife slashed into the samurai's neck, and the head tilted softly. In the spray of blood, the man also fell to his knees.

The whimper of the trumpet on the south side is like the sound of death, and the hoofs of horses roar from far and near. Listening to the movement and quiet battle, there may be only two or three hundred cavalry of the Ming army. But the Japanese had exhausted the last of their strength in the western battlefield; This Ming army was undoubtedly the final blow, and it was able to chase down and kill the Japanese army.

The battlefield was full of fleeing Japanese soldiers who ran desperately in the direction of the woods. Many people threw away their spears, and they all scrambled to flee. There was a soldier who didn't even have a hat, and the Chinese character "Bisheng" on the cloth belt of Baotou looked extra funny. The man shouted indignantly in Japanese, and those who knew Japanese might be able to understand what he meant: stupid generals should be the first to be martyred!

…… The news of the defeat of the Japanese army's right-wing surprise army soon reached Ouchi Mori's meeting. Ouchi Morimi, who was sitting on the bench, didn't seem to have much surprise at this time, only a sad aura shrouded his face.

The flames of battle had not yet reached Ouchi Morami's base camp for the time being, but in front of his left, the sound of "rumbling" cannons had already sounded again. The noise of the battlefield ahead also seems to be closer.

In this battle, the defeat is decided. I am afraid that there will not be much left of this large army mobilized from all over Japan after World War I.

At this time, if the Japanese army retreated to the Shimoyamamon area of Mt. Bofu, it could continue to resist by virtue of the terrain of Mt. Bofu; But the supply of military rations was cut off, so what did so many people eat in the small bowl and the mountain? It is estimated that the Ming army will not enter the mountains to clear and suppress at all, and will only deploy troops to besiege and monitor.

If the Japanese army retreated through the Shimoyamamon area and toward Shima-gun to the west, the terrain was not open, and it would be difficult not to be expelled to the terrain of the peninsula.

At this time, the only way was to retreat through the pontoon bridge in the direction of Gunwu-gun; When they could not stop the pursuit of the Ming army, the Japanese army burned the pontoon bridge. The lower reaches of the river are close to the mouth of the sea, and the river is wide and deep, making it impossible for soldiers and horses to wade. The Ming army wanted to pursue the remnants of the Japanese army, and the only way to cross the river was to detour upstream and then pursue.

However, the Ming army had strong cavalry and undertook the pursuit. Most of the defeated Japanese troops were busy running away, and they might not be able to form positions or stop the cavalry charge. At that time, the Japanese army will be defeated and flee, at least under the pursuit of cavalry, running through dozens of miles of plains, it is estimated that there will be heavy losses.

If you think about it deeper, Mingkou has a foothold on the plains of Aowu County. Dazaifu should also be unfortunate, and the Chikugo Plain to the south is one of the four most suitable plains for cultivation in Japan.

The Ming Kingdom is based on the two countries before and after the construction of the Ming Dynasty, with its grand strength and large population; If they are determined to conquer the Japanese islands, I am afraid that Japan will have no hope in this war.

Ouchi Morumi turned his head and saw a few cherry trees on the grass, and he sighed secretly. The cherry blossoms that are still vaguely remnant of the cherry blossoms are falling one after another when the wind blows, and there is not much left. Hakata's cherry blossoms, like the souls of Japanese warriors, have all been scattered and withered in a short period of time.

Perhaps those cherry blossoms have been transformed into the souls of the soldiers, and have become poignant and desperate scenery.

Ouchi Morami silently touched the handle of a knife on his waist. He wore two swords, long and short, and it was the short knife that he was holding now. Samurai generally did not use short swords, and often used them for self-determination.

Tao Jing, who was beside him, saw Ouchi Shengjian's movements, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "If the lord goes, the Ouchi family will definitely cease to exist." And those lord-belligerent daimyo who shouted everywhere before the war may have turned into a change and put the fault on the lord's head. Why don't they die? ”

If the Ouchi family is completely dissolved, the retainers and samurai will either go to other daimyo castles and wag their tails and beg for mercy, or they will become poor ronins without fiefs and fortunes.

After everyone understood the situation, they knelt down around Ouchi Morimi and said, "We live and die with the lord. ”

Ouchi Morimi's palm, which was tightly gripping the hilt, was gradually soaked with sweat.

At this moment, a horse galloped towards him and was quickly stopped by two samurai. Tao Jing glanced at it, hurriedly walked over there, and said a few words to the man. After a while, Tao Jing turned around and came back, and whispered in Ouchi Shengmi's ear: "The leader of the Sibo Guan sent someone to pass the order, and the Wangjia Governor led the rest of the palace, and then managed to retreat to the Bofu Mountain to resist the enemy, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor......"

Ouchi Morimi's eyes slowly ooze anger. His hand immediately removed from the short knife, and he looked back to the left and right: "We should try to break through the siege, return to Zhou Fangguo, and continue to resist the enemy!" ”
