Kato Kiyomasa looked at the Ming cavalry who came to him with a gloomy face, facing 10,000 Ming cavalry, Kato Kiyomasa knew very well in his heart that the other party's beating himself was a charge.

Glancing at the cavalry beside him, Kato Kiyomasa decisively chose to retreat.

Your own cavalry is definitely not enough to fight the other side, this is not only by looking at the equipment, you can know by looking at the horses. His own horse is too far worse than the war horse of the Ming army.

Kato Kiyomasa decisively found a hillside, and then camped on the hillside, the purpose was to make the cavalry of the Ming army unable to exert its might.

Zu Chengxun stood at the bottom of the hillside, looking at the Japanese invaders above with a telescope, with no expression on his face. As an ancestor who has been fighting with Li Chengliang for many years, he has naturally seen a lot of this kind of next scene.

What you bring is cavalry, there is no artillery, and you attack the hillside on your back, then the cavalry you are will not be able to exert its power at all.

Relying on the geographical advantage, the bow and arrow fire salvo, and his own cavalry was sent to death, so Zu Chengxun was not so stupid. Glancing at the cloth around him, Zu Chengxun said directly: "Let the soldiers dismount and prepare for foot battle." ”

Bu Zhai looked at the hillside, looked at the cavalry behind him, and suddenly looked bitter.

"General Zu, the Japanese are camped on the mountain, and our cavalry dismounts and fights on foot, and it is really unfavorable to attack the mountain on the back!" Bu Zhai thought about it, but couldn't help but admonish: "Throwing a stone on the mountain can kill us." ”

Zu Chengxun looked at the Japanese camp on the hillside, and then looked at Bu Zhai: "Sipingbo, rest assured, my subordinates are in front." ”

Zu Chengxun's meaning is very clear, that is, to give Bu Zhai a peace of mind pill, you can rest assured, we are particular about people, and we will never let the people of Ye Hebu be cannon fodder, so you put your heart in your stomach.

Hearing Zu Chengxun's words, Bu Zhai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little embarrassed.

"Why did General Zu say this, fighting for the Ming Dynasty and being loyal to His Majesty is also what I should do." Bu Zhai slapped his chest and snapped: "It's just that the cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, and the damage was too great." ”

"It's better for us to besiege at the bottom of the mountain and not attack, anyway, the Japanese have been blocked by us, and they won't be able to cross the Tumen River."

"We're not in a hurry, it should be the Japanese who should be in a hurry, can they still go to the mountains? When they enter the mountains, we will follow, and my subordinate Ye Herlang, in the mountains and forests, is absolutely not afraid of the Japanese invaders. ”

For Bu Zhai's words, Zu Chengxun believes that the Jurchen tribes are originally fishing and hunting for a living, and they are very familiar with the mountains.

But Zu Chengxun just didn't want to waste that time, he needed to annihilate this group of pirates as soon as possible.

First, this is the rear of the army, and if there is a slight omission, there will be trouble, and secondly, Zu Chengxun really doesn't want to waste time here because of these 5,000 Japanese robbers, and what if he finally annihilates these Japanese robbers? How much credit can it get?

It is serious to leave after the fight, and wasting time here is purely a waste of effort.

Besides, Zu Chengxun is not out of the question, he is very confident that he can wipe out the Japanese on the hillside in one battle, even if they are in the mountain, it is useless, because he has a secret weapon.

"Someone!" Zu Chengxun shouted behind him, his expression was very serious.

A Ming army general came behind Zu Chengxun and said loudly: "The last general!" ”

Zu Chengxun nodded, and then said: "Cha Dashou, Ben will give you a task, immediately organize a vanguard army of two thousand people for Ben General, and transfer all the hand cannons brought this time to them." ”

The so-called hand cannon is actually a grenade, a native grenade of the Ming Armed Forces Division.

It's really powerful, very powerful, and very useful for breaking formations. In this era, formation was important for marching operations, and once the formation was dispersed, neither cavalry nor infantry was useless.

"Equip the pioneers with four muskets to go up the hill to open the way, and the vanguard army will follow, Sipingbo, and let your men use bows and arrows behind the hand artillery."

"Ben is going to let the Wokou taste our power this time!" Zu Chengxun said loudly.

Bu Zhai still hesitated, but Cha Dashou did not hesitate at all, turned around and went to prepare.

Kato Kiyomasa looked at the Ming army under the mountain with a serious expression, he was afraid that the Ming army would camp directly at the bottom of the mountain if he didn't fight, but when he saw the Ming army's movements, his heart suddenly became settled, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Although there were more than 10,000 Ming troops, Kato Kiyomasa was not worried.

Occupying the geographical advantage himself, Kato Kiyomasa did not believe that the Ming army could rush up.

Soon the Ming army had completed the arrangement, and more than 500 roadrunners stood in front of them with serious faces, each of them carrying four short guns, all of which were the best revolver muskets.

"Up!"

Zu Chengxun was also not polite, and after shouting, the Kailu army rushed forward.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Kato Kiyomasa's mouth on the mountain, and he told the people around him: "Tell our iron gunners and archers, wait until the Ming army is closer to fight." ”

The Ming army began to rush up the hillside, and the Japanese were ready to give the Ming army a head-on attack.

Soon the battle began, the arquebuses on the hillside rang out, the archers also continued to throw, and the open army on the side of the Ming army fell directly in a row, which was very tragic.

Soon the Ming army also began to fight back, and the fire began to return fire quickly.

The Ming army fell a lot, but more than 2,000 artillery finally rushed up, pulled the pull ring in their hands, threw the grenade directly, and directly smashed the Japanese army's formation.

Kato Kiyomasa was just about to rush down from the mountain with people, taking advantage of the location of the hillside to give the Ming army a ruthless blow.

But there were still dozens of meters, and Kato Kiyomasa wanted to get closer and rush, but suddenly it rained grenades in the sky, and the grenades fell into the Japanese army's formation, and there was an earth-shattering explosion in an instant.

More than 2,000 people threw grenades together, and more than 5,000 grenades fell on the hillside.

In an instant, the entire hillside was filled with earth-shattering explosions, and the Ming army, which originally wanted to rush up, couldn't go up at all. The effect of the explosion was a splash of earth and rocks, and the hillside was littered with rolling stones.

The Ming army retreated in disarray without waiting to reach the position of the Japanese invaders, and many people were injured by stones.

"Withdraw!"

Zu Chengxun's face darkened when he saw this scene, although he knew that the power of the hand cannon was not small, but he didn't expect it to be used in a centralized manner, the power was so great, it was not safe under the hillside.

The earth and rocks on the hillside rolled down, and it was too easy to hit themselves, and along with the rolling dirt and rocks, the corpses of the would-be robbers also rolled down.

When the explosion stopped, and there was no smoke and dust on the hillside, Zu Chengxun's face suddenly became ugly, and there were corpses everywhere in front of him, as well as many corpses of the Ming army.

On the hillside, there is no trace of the Japanese invaders.
