"Bang bang bang!. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。 ”

When the two armies were about 60 paces apart, the musketeers of the Ming army and the Satsuma army almost fired together.

There are 1,000 musketeers in the Ming army, and there are only 400 people in the Satsuma army, so the Ming army is far beyond the opponent in terms of the range of formation and the intensity of firepower.

In addition, many of the Satsuma army's muskets were hit on the large shields of the rear shields, which were more than half a person's height and extremely thick iron sheets, which easily blocked the scattered lead bullets.

After the rounds were played, the firecrackers on both sides immediately retreated.

At this time, the spear and shield battle array of the Tiger Army immediately rushed forward with a shout like a straight black line, and the ashigaru infantry who were also howling and rushing on the opposite side were strangled into a ball.

Huashan Zheng was frightened to see that in the battle formation of the Ming army, from the top of the slanted shields, a fierce and fierce three-edged steel spear head stabbed out at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, like a poisonous snake that had been patiently lurking, and finally seized the opportunity to spew out deadly venom.

Many spears were killed immediately, and the Satsuma soldiers were horrified to see that the sharp and vicious three-edged steel spear head with deep blood grooves, as if it had eyes, pierced extremely accurately, and quickly pierced the head, neck, or chest of Satsuma Ashigaru on the opposite side.

Kayama saw with his own eyes that a small leader of the Ashigaru who was very close to him was fiercely pierced through the neck by a spear, and the raging blood that burst out from the broken carotid artery quickly covered his shocked and frightened eyes with death.

Compared with the well-armed, thickly armored, like a thick and well-organized killing machine of the Ming army's gun and shield battle array, on the opposite side of the conscripted from the peasants, wearing crude bamboo armor, wearing an iron-shelled hat, just put an iron spear head on a long bamboo pole, the combat effectiveness is really too far apart, so they fought and retreated, and quickly showed a decline.

Seeing that the battle had just begun, it showed a state of insupport, and the birch mountain was furious. He immediately waved the military fan in his hand and shouted: "All the flag warriors, attack forward, you must block them!" “

As soon as he gave the order, the 1,000 Hachimoto samurai behind him, who were armed with swords and almost all of them were wearing carcasses, immediately howled and brandished their swords and rushed forward.

These samurai of the world are the elite infantry of the Satsuma army, with superb martial arts and good weapons and armor, so when they just rushed into battle, they obviously formed a counter-containment to the Ming army on the opposite side, and there were many Ming army spears and shields, which were cut alive by sharp swords.

"General Ben's order, Xuanhu heavy cavalry and rampant team, divided from the left and right wings, together to attack!"

Seeing that the enemy had already used all the Qiben warriors in the rear formation, Li Dingguo ordered loudly.

"Order!"

Immediately, the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry and Rampaging Sentry, like two lurking giant beasts, began to roar and outflank the attack.

The Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry was the first to rush to the left flank of the enemy, and the Xuanhu Cavalry, which had been arranged in a huge black wedge-shaped battle formation, was like an incomparably sharp and blazing sharp knife, like cutting butter, and pierced through the enemy's left flank fiercely. The horses' hooves rumbled, screaming again and again, and from the unprepared Satsuma army, they fiercely penetrated the formation, plowing a wide bloody path.

At least more than 300 Satsuma soldiers were killed on the spot in this ferocious charge.

The Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, which was penetrated by one blow, did not stay a little, and used You Ran's strong momentum to rush towards the birch mountain that was in the back of the formation.

Seeing these horse knights dressed in steel armor with only two eyes exposed, and the mounts under their crotches that were covered in fine iron armor from head to tail, combined into a steel beast-like Xuanhu heavy horse, they were roaring and rushing towards themselves, and the face of the birch mountain was instantly sallow.

Such a dense charge of steel behemoths armed to the teeth is simply a sight that can only be seen in nightmares!

"The enemy is rushing over, meet the enemy quickly!"

The birch mountain was neighing, and a group of red cavalry suddenly came to their senses, turned their horses' heads, and rushed towards the Xuanhu heavy cavalry.

It's just that in the face of the Xuanhu heavy cavalry, which is still full of momentum and is heavily armored and heavily armored, it has just begun to accelerate, and the red cavalry with obviously poor armor is not an opponent at all.

"Boom!"

There was a dull and loud bang, and the two cavalry slammed together.

The incomparably strong impact of the Xuanhu heavy cavalry actually made the Chibei cavalry at the front rush away like a piece of paper, and the men and horses screamed and fell to the side, this fierce and ferocious steel torrent, as if piercing through the Satsuma infantry battle formation just now, from hundreds of Chibei cavalry, fiercely penetrated the formation, and then turned back again, and the remaining Chibei cavalry, strangled together.

At this time, the heavy infantry was on the sentry and finally arrived at the right flank of the Satsuma army, which had already been in a melee.

These people were dressed in triple armor, like mecha monsters, rampant team members, heavy tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, thick-backed military sickles and other heavy weapons in their hands, one after another to the Satsuma soldiers who were caught off guard, slashing and slashing, rushing left and right, where the sharp sword light went, the corpses were scattered, and the flesh and blood were wild.

The infantry battle formation of the Satsuma army, at this point in the battle, was in full decline, and it was about to collapse.

"Kill! Be sure to stop 。。。。。。 “

Birch Hill was roaring in almost despair, and when he was about to slash down a Xuanhu heavy cavalry beside him, two sharp steel cavalry spears, one in front of the other, pierced him almost at the same time.

A riding spear that pierced deep into the chest of the birch mountain was stirred vigorously.

The words were blocked in his throat, like a shrimp that had been stabbed, twisted his body violently and painfully, and the knife in his hand fell silently. After making a strange ho-ho sound, he fell to the ground and never moved again.

This general, who was determined to be loyal to the lord of the domain, finally fulfilled his promise.

"General 。。。。。 Kayama"

The only remaining red cavalry, seeing that the commander was brutally stabbed to death by the Ming army, suddenly had no more heart to fight, and fled in all directions with screams.

Xuanhu rode heavily and chased closely.

It's just that because the armor is too heavy, the speed of the pursuing Xuanhu heavy cavalry is limited, and after chasing for a few minutes, nearly sixty Chibei cavalry still fled farther and farther, and it was difficult to catch up.

"All outposts are back! Backrush infantry! “

The Xuanhu heavy cavalry sentry chief shouted, and all the Xuanhu heavy cavalry let out a sharp scream from their mouths, quickly assembled into a formation, and returned to the back of the Satsuma army's infantry battle formation, which was desperately resisting the death of the line, and rushed forward.

"Boom!"

The heavy cavalry of the Xuanhu like a torrent of steel gave the Satsuma army a fierce and sharp blow to the back, and it was fighting to the death with the spear and shield battle array and the rampant sentry, and the infantry of the Satsuma army, which was still hanging with only one breath left, finally completely collapsed.

They abandoned their swords and fled in all directions, weeping and fleeing, while a great number of spears fell on their knees to save their lives.

It's just that the Tiger Army, which has already been killed, will not give them any chance to survive at all. Slashing knives and stabbing guns, horses stomping and impacting, the entire Yongtong Valley mouth screamed again and again, blood burst out, and the head rolled to the ground, like a bloody hell.

A quarter of an hour later, when the sun had already set in the west, all the Satsuma infantry was slaughtered by the Ming army, and the bloody limbs were all over the place, and the broken knives and guns were soaked together with the bloody afterglow, forming a terrifying horror.

The desperate resistance of Huashan Zhengzheng only dragged the Ming army for more than half an hour.

This insignificant result, I don't know how I will feel in my heart when I am already in hell.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Kill the Tartars, make a meritorious name!"

"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!"

。。。。。。

In the continuous cheers, the complacent Li Dingguo proudly ordered: "The enemy army has been destroyed, quickly clean up the battlefield, and then pass through the Yongtong Valley and take Tsurumaru Castle directly!" “

"Order!"

When Li Dingguo led his troops and horses, taking advantage of the gradually brighter moonlight, and quickly rushed through the Yongtong Valley to Tsurumaru City, Li Xiao led his troops to just come to the outside of Tsurumaru City.

Seeing the towering Tsurumaru City Castle Tower under the moonlight, Li Xiao with a dusty face, was very happy in his heart.

The castle tower is one of the most unique and important types of castles in Japan. Usually located at the central vantage point of a Japanese-style castle, the castle tower is the tallest building in the castle and is a strong military defense facility in wartime, serving as the last defensive position of the defenders in addition to the role of observation and command.

It is a sturdy and towering castle tower that symbolizes the power and status of the local daimyo or castle lord. Like Oda Nobunaga, the first strongman of Japan's Warring States, the Azuchi Castle Castle Castle that once lived, was known as Japan's first castle tower, but unfortunately it was later burned down by the renegade Akechi Mitsuhide, and he himself was killed in it.

Normally, the castle lord did not reside in the castle tower, but in a separate palace built in the Honmaru (castle center). Usually when discussing important events or defensive battles, the castle lord will come to the castle tower.

"Pass on the order of the Benbo army, the whole army will take a break from hard work, continue to move forward, and surround Tsurumaru Castle, so that no one in the city can escape!"

After Li Xiao gave the order loudly, the already tired Tiger Army let out a loud bang and struggled to continue to march towards Tsurumaru City.

At this time, Yuki Heisho, who was standing at the top of the castle tower, looked at the Ming army with bright armor outside the castle, and when he surrounded Tsurumaru Castle in the bright moonlight, his face was suddenly ashen.

It's over, the Ming army didn't come from Yongtong Valley, but went around to the north to Tsurumaru City, and the head of the family miscalculated!

This time, this besieged Tsurumaru Castle is afraid that even ants can't escape.

If Shimazu Mitsuhisa can't lead the army back in time, this Tsurumaru Castle and the castle tower will fall into the hands of the Ming army. So, by that time, will you really want to kill all the Shimazu clan? Can you really do such a ruthless move?

Thinking of this, Pingzhang Yuji's heart was like a knife, and it was a little difficult to even breathe.

The only plan at the moment is that Shimazu Mitsuhisa can successfully rush back to the rescue, so that he can save this Tsurumaru Castle.

Yuki Heizhang let out a long sigh and prayed in his heart.

I don't know if his prayer had an effect, but after the Tiger Army finally surrounded Tsurumaru Castle, a flying harrier cavalry urgently reported to Li Xiao that a large number of Satsuma Domain soldiers were rushing to Tsuruma Castle from the Yongtong Valley, and it was only more than two miles away from here.

Hearing this, an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on Li Xiao's face.

He knew that it should be Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was in ambush, and only rushed back to rescue him so urgently after learning that he had led his troops to make a detour to attack Tsurumaru Castle.

It seems that he came in time, just in time to intercept Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who led the army back, this is really, it is better to come early than to come by chance.

I thought that after capturing Tsurumaru Castle, I might have to go back and join forces with Li Dingguo's troops to attack the Satsuma army in the Yongtong Valley, but I didn't expect that this head of the Satsuma Domain would now throw himself into the net!

A trace of hideousness flashed on Li Xiao's face, and he immediately began to issue military orders.

"Zhang Wei, the head of the Pingnan Battalion B General C Sentinel, listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

"Because the enemy situation in the city is unknown, I will order you to divide the entire army of Pingnan Battalion B and C Sentinel into two parts, and continue to block the two gates in front of Tsurumaru Castle, and never let the enemy army escape from the enemy!"

"Obey!"

"Artillery sentry commander Zhao Ben obeys the order!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Let you lead the artillery troops, all concentrated on the only way to enter Tsurumaru City, nineteen artillery pieces lined up, all loaded with shotguns, to the Shimazu Mitsukube who is returning in a hurry, a fierce head-on attack!"

"Order! Adults, don't worry! ”

"Flying Harrier obeys orders!" "The Manchurian infantry sentry obeys the order!"

。。。。。。。

In the end, Li Xiaofu ordered the two sentries and horses of the Flying Harrier and the Manchurian infantry to lie in ambush on both sides of the road, and ordered them to immediately kill from both sides at the same time after the artillery salvo bombardment, and launch a fierce attack on Shimazu Mitsuhisabu.

And he himself, with 100 escort cavalry, stood behind the artillery unit. After preparing for the artillery strike, the most elite and well-equipped escort cavalry in Li Xiao's army was led forward by Li Xiao to kill the enemy, and together with the flying harriers and Manchurian infantry posts next to him, they attacked the Satsuma army on three sides.

This trick of setting up cannons on the road and attacking from three sides was actually used by Taiji, the chief of the Houjin Tartar Dynasty, when he was in Chongzhen for four years.

At that time, Huang Taiji was outside the city of Dalinghe, when the road set up more than 60 artillery pieces of various types, and when the Ming Dynasty general Zhang Chun led 40,000 reinforcements to arrive, he immediately opened artillery bombardment, so that Zhang Chun's department quickly fell into chaos. Then the ambush on both sides was exhausted, Dai Shan, Yue Tuo, Mang Gurtai and others led the troops to chase and kill, and the 40,000 Ming army immediately collapsed, and finally the main general Zhang Chun was captured, and most of the Ming army was killed, only a few more than 1,000 people, and finally escaped.

For generals, they can adapt to changes and do not stick to reason, so they are qualified.

After the order was given, Li Xiao looked at the end of the black road in the distance, but his face was full of groaning.

He was secretly thinking in his heart, I don't know if Li Dingguo's ministry has led his troops to come now.

If they do not arrive, although they can win this battle, they may suffer a lot of losses, and it will be difficult to destroy the enemy soldiers.

If Li Dingguo's troops can come smoothly, they can surround Nashimazu Mitsukusa, which can greatly reduce the number of casualties among his soldiers. It can also make the last main force of the Shimazu clan inevitably escape the fate of being annihilated in the end.

After a while, from the dark intersection in the distance, there was a growing sound of footsteps and horses' hooves.

And here, all the torches of Li Xiao's department were extinguished, and the people were silent, and the silence was silent. Under the silver moonlight, Li Xiao's well-laid military array was like a group of silent but murderous ghosts.

Soon, Mitsuhisa Shimazu appeared at the end of the road with 4,000 Satsuma soldiers.

"Calm down, don't rush, wait for them to leave before releasing them!"

Artillery Sentinel Zhao Ben crouched down and whispered to the gunners who couldn't hold it back.

Although the dragon cannon has an extremely long range when firing solid iron bullets, with an effective range of up to 1,500 meters, because it is now firing shotguns in order to kill and injure as many enemy troops as possible, it will undoubtedly have a greater killing effect if they are released when they get closer.

Soon, the noisy and anxious Shimazu Department got closer and closer.

Including Shimazu Mitsuhisa, these Satsuma soldiers who were eager to enter the city to defend themselves did not expect that on this quiet moonlit night, outside the seemingly quiet Tsurumaru Castle in front of them, there were Ming troops who had quietly laid out their pockets, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

Two hundred steps!

One hundred steps!

Sixty steps!

The Satsuma Army, which had rushed all the way, finally reached the maximum accurate range of the shotgun.

"Put!"

Zhao Ben shouted, and nineteen dragon bombers loaded with shotguns fired in unison.

"Bang 。。。。。。"

The muzzles of the 19 dragon guns collectively spewed out crimson and piercing fire, and countless shotgun particles flew out from the muzzles of the black holes.

Most of these shotguns were lead shots and iron sand as thick as a thumb or little finger, and some of them were small sharp pebbles, which flew all over the sky with a terrible whistling sound, and were densely packed like a rain of iron and stone, and swept towards these fast-pacing Satsuma soldiers. And as long as they are swept away by this terrible rain of iron and stone, whether it is a person or a horse, their whole body will immediately be covered with dense thick blood holes!

The continuous miserable sound sounded violently, blood and minced flesh splashed everywhere, and the entire Shimazu Mitsukube front was suddenly covered with dark red blood and colorful human tissues, and the whole field was like a hellish slaughterhouse, extremely bloody and terrifying.

"Haha, little Japan, our army's shotgun salvo tastes pretty good."

Seeing the tragic situation of the Satsuma army, the artillery sentry commander Zhao Ben laughed loudly with all the artillery crews.
