The Ming army often pays attention to the justification of the name when it is conscripted. So thousands of households and thousands of good people led 300 people on foot, and Chen soldiers were in front of the walled city of Zong; And he ordered the clerks to be bound to arrows, and to be shot into the city with the arms of God.

The official document was written in silk and was written by an official of the Pedestrian Division, and a copy was made.

The article pointed out that the guardian daimyo of Tsushima Island had no way to protect the Japanese and commit illegal things for a long time. It is stated that since the Hongwu period, the Ming court has repeatedly submitted to the Japanese shogunate the letter of state to ban the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese shogunate ignored it or made false accusations. This time, the Ming officials and troops were "forced to do so", so they sent troops to fight.

At the end of the document, he also made a suggestion that the Zong clan would lead his army out of the city and surrender, so that they could get benefits: most of the samurai and Zhuang Ding in the walled city could be exempted from capital crimes, and after the report was resigned to the court, the daimyo himself could be treated leniently.

However, Wan Liang led the crowd to bask outside for a long time and did not get any response.

The Korean monk said: "When the poor monks heard that the Japanese themselves were not like this, they used to respond and send a samurai with superb martial arts skills to come out and first reason and scold the other party, and then ask for a duel, which is called 'Yi Qi Fight'." Later, the Yuan Dynasty sent troops to Japan, and shot to death the samurai who came out to challenge the Japanese army with an arrow, and since then, I have not been like this since then. ”

Wan Liang and other generals felt very bored, feeling that most of the time for today's battle had been wasted, and the ordnance was not ready. So Wan Liang ordered the army to return to the barracks, and decided to set up a direct attack on the city early tomorrow morning.

It was stormy that night, but fortunately the rain stopped in the second half of the night. The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, more than 500 members of the Ming army set out.

After the rain, the roads were muddy. When everyone dragged more than a dozen Hanwang cannons and Hongwu cannons and carts to the front of the walled city, the sky was already bright.

There was no sun in the sky, and the western mountain on which the city was leaning was shrouded in white mist, and only the black shadow of the building in the fog could be seen, and the faint mountain shape in the distance. Today's weather is obviously not as good as yesterday, but yesterday was wasted, and Wan Liang was a little annoyed in the morning.

The sergeants were busy setting up their cannons. Originally, the guards of the Sinan Department had issued a gun watch and tools to the gunners, but this time they were not used at all; Because the city was on a hillside, the rudimentary gun table could not calculate the range of the upward fire.

"Bang!" From time to time there was a burst of fire in the white mist, which was the soldiers of the Ming army testing gunpowder. It had rained last night, and there was fog on the hillside this morning, and everyone was worried that the gunpowder would not be able to ignite if it was damp. However, when I heard the sound, the millet granular gunpowder used in Jingying seemed to be able to ignite.

There was a noise in the mist, mixed with the shouting and shouting of the generals, and the infantry was reorganizing the queue.

I don't know how long later, above the mountains and forests on the east coast, the sun finally came out, but the sunlight looked very weak through the fog. Wan Liang rode his horse and walked slowly on the hillside, he looked at the walled city above for a while, and finally said, "Order the shelling." ”

The position of the Ming army was not large, and the pro-soldiers around Wan Liang shouted directly: "Thousands of household orders, prepare to fire artillery!" ”

A moment later, the horn of "Woo ......" sounded. There was a sudden "boom" at the bottom of the hillside, and the flames suddenly brightened the surrounding light, and the light of the muzzle of the cannon was more dazzling than the sun.

After a loud cannon fire, there was a pause, followed by a burst of cannon fire, the sound echoing over the western mountain, and the hillside seemed to tremble.

After the wood built the mud-filled wall and was hit by the Han king's cannons, at least three breaches collapsed instantly. The iron balls weighing more than a dozen pounds and the rammed earth city walls that were more than ten steps thick were useless, but the power of hitting the wooden fence was huge, and the rapid iron balls overturned the fences everywhere, and the wood was also knocked away and bounced into the air.

Then a larger mass of flames flashed, Wan Liang raised his head, and with his eyes, he saw dozens of catties of huge stones, flying into the air. The mortars and stone shells of the bronze Hongwu cannon fell into the city from the air, and there was a heavy muffled sound, as well as the sound of the houses collapsing.

The number of artillery of the Ming army was small, the loading was slow, and the sound of artillery was intermittently fired for several rounds. The sun was rising, but the view from the hillside was not clearer, and the smoke of gunpowder mixed with the remaining fog, and the sky and the earth were gray.

......The drums of the Chinese army sounded, and dozens of infantry formed a horizontal formation and slowly began to march upward. The fence on the hillside was in shambles, collapsing in many places.

When the army cautiously approached dozens of paces, the second team of men and horses behind also dispatched.

Suddenly, there was a few string sounds in front of him, and a Ming sergeant screamed, threw away his gun and shield, and fell to the ground with his hands covering his face. The soldiers in the front row hurriedly raised their round shields to protect the vital points. After another string sounded in front, the spear and shield men in the front row of the Ming army squatted on the ground amid the shouts of the generals; A row of fires flickered behind him, and in the sound of "bang, bang, bang", sawdust flew on the fence.

The soldiers of the Ming army advanced for a while, and the firecrackers fired a volley at the holes in the fence, during which from time to time someone was injured by arrows, but the forward men and horses did not retreat.

The infantry marched to within ten paces of the wall, first fired a volley of firecrackers, and then a row of infantry behind lit the pig iron mines in their hands, and then strode to the front, throwing the burning pig iron mines into the wall.

After a while, a loud explosion sounded in the wall, mixed with the screams of people.

A member of the Ming army waved his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill! Kill ......" the army shouted, and rushed into a collapsed gap.

However, the fight did not take place as scheduled, and the soldiers crossed the dilapidated gap and found that there was no one inside. All around are crumbling houses, dilapidated streets and alleys, debris and scattered corpses strewn on the ground.

An undead Japanese soldier sat against a wall, staring up at the sky and crying out in an incomprehensible voice. Another soldier was fleeing in the alleyway up the hill, but a moment later there was a "bang" and the man fell to the ground.

As the North Korean interpreter put it, there were still some fence-like walls in the walled city, but they were all destroyed by shelling. Collapsed houses and fences clogged the mountain road, and the surroundings looked like ruins.

The tallest building in the city, the "Honmaru", also collapsed in the stone bullets of the Hongwu cannon. The men of the vanguard reloaded their guns and headed in the direction of the big house, where they searched for their way through the broken wood and dirt. The soldiers looked around and paid attention to the situation around them.

At this moment, behind a remnant, a few people with longbows suddenly appeared, and there was a man wearing armor and a fan behind him.

The general of the Ming army shouted: "Prepare for the firecracker!" Spear and shield men dodge. ”

After a few chord sounds, a group ......of enemy soldiers suddenly rushed from behind the ruins, shouting. There were about two dozen of them, except for one man in armor with his hand on the hilt of a knife at his waist, and the others were wearing bamboo hats and wearing bamboo pieces on their bodies, and they were shouting and running with spears.

The firecrackers around the Ming army were all aimed at the crowd, and after a shout of "let's go", the sound of "bang bang bang" exploded around, and there was a scream on the opposite side, and many people fell to the ground. But there are still some who are not hit, and still roar and charge.

Then the man with the fan behind the broken wall reappeared, and he gestured twice, and another group of enemy soldiers shouted to kill him.

The generals of the Ming army shouted: "Column the infantry formation, prepare for battle!" ”

The spearmen and shieldmen quickly jumped forward and shrank their formations into a dense horizontal formation. The Musketeers hurriedly began to reload.

After a while, the ashigaru men with spears rushed to the front of the battle first, and were immediately stabbed to death by the dense spear and shield soldiers. And the samurai in armor pulled out his sword with a "swish", and the spear and shield soldier in front of him stabbed him, and the guy dodged like a loach. The samurai hissed and roared, and his body turned half a circle, and the man was close to the shield, raised his sword back above his head with both hands, and stabbed it in the neck of a heavy infantryman.

The Ming sergeant didn't even scream, so he fell down with round eyes. The samurai took the opportunity to cut a gap in the dense formation, and the man jumped forward and slashed at another spear and shield soldier. The spear and shield man's weapon was too long to fight back against the enemy in front of him; Moreover, the warrior drew his sword very quickly, and with a metal impact sound, the edge of the knife slashed into the iron helmet of the Ming sergeant, and the blade slashed diagonally through the sergeant's face. The sergeant screamed loudly, blood splattering in the air.

"Cao You|Mother!" A firecracker in the back threw a firebolt, drew his waist sword, and jumped at the samurai, stabbing it out. The samurai, who had grown old with his slash, retreated to one side and immediately struck a heavy infantryman, and the samurai let out an "ah" scream; The spear and shield soldier next to him drew his sword, stabbed the samurai in the back, and twisted the blade a little. The samurai threw his head up and shouted, and the man fell to his knees.

Several Ming soldiers surrounded him angrily, and Sakura's spears and waist knives beckoned to the samurai's heads, almost chopping them into pulp.

However, the place where the Japanese charged was very close, and by this time the second group of enemy soldiers had already rushed in! They fought through the gap in the queue and rushed straight into the depths. The Japanese infantry didn't seem to have much formation, they just wanted to come to the melee.

The Japanese soldiers shouted and screamed, their faces full of horror, but they did not retreat. A ashigaru slammed into the front of the heavy infantry, and was immediately pierced by the Sakura spear, and the bamboo hat on his head fell, revealing a cloth-wrapped turban, and a face that had been twisted. He probably wanted to die with a Ming sergeant, but the spear failed to pierce the breastplate of the Ming sergeant on the other side, and his painful face stared at the dead eyes.

The sound of killing in the crowd suddenly rose, and the rapidly dancing knives and guns were like the nervous shouts of everyone. There were even people scuffling together, and there was no discipline at all. The military general of the Ming army was also caught off guard, he did not expect that the Japanese army, which was so poorly equipped, would not be defeated and fled in a vicious battle.
