491. Blood-stained red scarf
Smoke billowed from the head of Kanino Castle, shouts of killing could be heard almost two nautical miles away, and there was also a fierce battle situation in the telescope...... It's a little early.
I have reason to believe that, compared to the cities that were commonly built in Dongying, which were equivalent to "walled cities", Goryeo, a real fortified city similar to the Ming Dynasty, was by no means as easy to conquer as the diminutive Japanese robbers.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was pretending to be miserable, and when I saw the people with torches running back and forth on the castle, I confirmed this even more ironically.
He wanted me to get involved in the fight sooner, and he was understandable, but he must have forgotten the artifact of the nautical telescope in my hand, in other words, the work was a little rough.
I slowly ordered the battleship and transport fleet to detach, Lan led the convoy with Ye Sizhong and Guan Ning Tiecai behind, while I led the battlefleet with Adikon, gradually approaching the beach outside Kaneno City, covering almost the entire battlefield within its own range.
"Sir, aren't we going to war?" Nine Ghost Masataka asked. When he saw the situation in the direction of Kanino Castle, he was a little anxious for me. He was worried that Hideyoshi Hashiba would not be able to hold on, which would have a negative impact on my overall strategy, and I understood it very well.
"No hurry, man, wait." I smiled and explained, "The fleet needs to adjust the formation when it enters the position involved, don't worry."
Seeing that I was not in a hurry at all, the Nine Ghosts suddenly understood something, and suddenly they were not in a hurry, but looked at the city in the distance.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I never thought that one day, I would help Hideyoshi Hashiba fight." The Nine Ghosts sighed.
Oda Nobunaga destroyed Iga back then, and Hideyoshi Hashiba played a very important role in it, and the Iga ninja has always regarded him as an enemy, and it is completely understandable that he is in mixed feelings at this time.
"No, there's something wrong with your understanding." I said lightly: "You are not helping Hashiba Hideyoshi fight, but instigating Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie to fight to the death!" Isn't that what you want to see? ”
Nine ghosts Zhengxiao's eyes lit up: "Exactly!" Sir, I see! ”
I smiled silently, and at the same time, our fleet had completed the formation and formed a complete and beautiful battle line facing Kaneno Castle!
In the telescope, smoke began to rise from the southeast corner of Kaneno Castle, and the main force of Shibata's army had broken through the enemy army in the flank, and the ladder was erected on the southeast wall of the city, and the siege began!
I put down my binoculars, swept my eyes back and forth, and pointed to the location of the main force of Shibata Katsuya in the southeast of the city and said, "Fire!" Target point - the main force of the Shibata Army in the southeast of Kaneno Castle! A cardinal cardinality! Rush to shoot! ”
Nine Ghost Zhengxiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to give the order, and after a while, my car was the first to sound a violent shelling!
The ships began to fire one after another, and a dense rain of bullets poured down like hail on Shibata Katsuie's main force, and their formation immediately became confused.
Most of the Shibata Army remembered the power of my fleet's artillery bombardment like a nightmare. Now that the nightmare is upon them again, they can't help but be terrified.
As the distance approached, I could clearly see through the telescope the tear in the heart of the Shibata Katsuie.
A large number of sergeants were terrified and tried to find cover to avoid the deadly shells, but the higher-ups did not think so, and instead they urged the soldiers to rush forward and storm the city.
If you enter the city, you will be safe - they probably say so, but the soldiers are not stupid, although there is only one word difference between the siege and the entry into the city, but the content and substance are very different, I don't know how many people will die on the way to the siege and not enter, and how many people will be able to dodge this stormy shell!
After three rounds of firing, threats and persuasion alone were no longer able to solve the retreating team, and the executions began to appear everywhere and gradually spread!
"After a cardinal number, the firepower extends backwards, guiding Hashiba Hideyoshi out of the city to meet the enemy!" I looked at the battle and ordered again.
The chaos of Shibata Katsuie's army came faster than I expected, and it seems that their morale is even lower than I had estimated - much lower!
So I shortened the time for fire preparation and gave the order to march in advance.
People have a strange state of mind when fighting, and when they encounter a strong threat in a normal state, they will have strong psychological fluctuations, but once they get used to or adapt to this threat, they will become stronger and more stubborn.
So I'm going to seize their psychological gap and let the melee troops come on the stage, and completely defeat the power of Shibata Katsuya in one fell swoop.
After the end of the artillery fire of a base, the main force of Shibata's army had gradually broken away from the southeast of Kaneno Castle and began to move towards the west of the castle, with the aim of using the enemy city to cover itself.
They are smart, but they don't know what we're capable of.
Our ships are no longer equipped with old-fashioned hand-pushed guns and gun barrel mounts that are completely welded, but advanced products that can flexibly adjust the high and low scales between 10 and 80 degrees, and adjust the horizontal scales at 15 degrees on the left and right!
They shrank behind the city, occupying a closer place, with more personnel per unit area, but in addition to psychological comfort, they suffered more casualties under our large-angle hanging shots!
Moreover, they stood densely, and the condescending shooting effect of Hideyoshi Hashiba in the city was also better, so this wrong decision completely led to the chaos and collapse of Shibata Katsuie's army!
"Minister Zuo, the artillery fire of Qilan has extended backwards, this is to guide us out of the city to fight!" Ishida Mitsunari leaned against the city wall, carefully observing the impact point of the ship's gunfire, and suddenly spoke.
"Out of town?" Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was hiding in the enemy building, was still a little frightened. Fang saw that the muzzle of the ship's guns was facing him, and he was horrified to think that the Ming Dynasty people in the fleet planned to kill him.
However, when the artillery fire began to attack, he realized that the power of this hanging fire was so great. Slowly, I dare to look up to see the situation outside.
Outside the city, the Shibata army was slowly retreating under the suppression of artillery fire, and in every breath, a large number of soldiers died under artillery fire and gunfire. According to the principle of battlefield command, it is indeed necessary to go out of the city to meet the enemy at this time!
"Sancheng is right, prepare to open the city, leave 50,000 people to defend the city, and the rest of the troops will go all out to break the enemy!" Hideyoshi Hashiba screamed.
Ten minutes after his order was issued, the east and west gates of Kaneno Castle were suddenly lowered, and the Yuchai army of the brigade drove out of the city defense and quickly pursued the defeated Shibata army.
Compared with the Shibata Army's slanted and embarrassed armor, the Yuchai Army is definitely worthy of the evaluation of bright armor and morale!
The two sides exchanged fire again, but the offensive and defensive sides reversed directions. Under the blow of extended artillery fire, Shibata's army trembled and wished to leave this terrible place as soon as possible. However, Hideyoshi's army became more and more courageous, repeatedly breaking through the defense line of Shibata's army.
The clever Shimazu Yoshihisa led the team in the middle of the army out of the city, and he knew that this was a relatively safe position, because he was the one who knew my mentality best apart from Ishida Mitsunari and Hashiba Hideyoshi and others who guessed my thoughts.
He knew that in the face of a fire suppression that far exceeded the sum of the firepower of the two sides of Dongying, the owner of the hand behind the artillery fire really decided life and death with one thought.
So he was very careful to keep a certain distance from Shibata Jun, not chasing too closely, not too far away, very Buddhist hanging behind, fighting and walking, walking and fighting, no one could find fault, but it didn't hurt his vitality at all.
I can't see where Shimazu Yoshihisa's team is, and I don't know what he's thinking, but I know what I'm thinking—another round of artillery fire will be extended to the rear of Shibata's army, and it will be completely cut in two, half of which will flee into the distance, and the other half will have to turn around and fight Hideyoshi's army!
At this time, it is safe to mix with the enemy army! There are many people in Shibata's army who think so.
So they began to attack the Hashiba Hideyoshi army behind them with an unprecedented force, which caused the other troops except Shimazu Yoshihisa to immediately suffer heavy countermeasures and blows!
I don't care how Shimazu Yoshihisa secretly rejoices and how the others fight to the death, what I need to care about is - it's time for our people to appear!
Three flares, which were still bright and dazzling during the day, flew into the sky, signaling the beginning of the general offensive. Li Rusong, who was lurking near the side, and Ye Sizhong, who had already landed in the shallow water area, immediately perked up when they saw it, and immediately commanded the troops to rush towards the east and southeast of the battlefield with all their might!
They are still two or three miles away from the battlefield, and we must take advantage of this interval to prepare for the last set of firepower to fully prepare for their onslaught!
The artillery fire was flying, and the Shibata army in front of the Ming army was attacked like a storm again, and for a time there was chaos and chaos, and it was definitely the best time for the cavalry to attack!
It's close! It's close! It's closer!
Ye Sizhong's Guan Ning Iron Rider took the lead, like a sharp arrow, and suddenly he had arrived in front of the Japanese Kou!
After three shots, he crashed into the formation of the Shibata Army without hesitation!
From a distance, they are like a quick knife that cuts into tofu, and like oars that break through the waves, constantly penetrating into the enemy's interior, stirring up the already chaotic Shibata army!
Immediately, the large-scale Li Rusong came to cover up, like a greedy fish, eating the fish food in front of him one bite at a time, and steadily moving forward!
Seeing the Ming army behind him, Shibata Katsuko, who was fighting to the death with Yushiba Hideyoshi's army, sighed, he knew that the general trend had gone, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he didn't expect it to end with the nominal alliance of friendly forces and enemies!
Still fighting? He's wandering.
Kill! The morale of the Hideyoshi army is boiling again!
Under the elimination of the other, the Shibata army, which was sandwiched between the Ming army and the Hideyoshi army, could no longer support it, and gradually began to appear small forces that fled, and this situation became more and more intense, and gradually evolved into a large-scale rout!
The Ming Army's brother Hideyoshi Army finally met on the battlefield! Because Ye Sizhong chiseled through Shibata Katsuya's troops.
Both sides looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the red scarf on the other party's right arm.
The atmosphere was very delicate and awkward for a while, and both sides felt that their hearts were filled with a deep absurdity.
Today...... Sort of a friendly army!
Ye Sizhong sighed secretly, shouted, turned his horse's head in front of the Yuchai Hideyoshi army, and launched a fierce charge again towards the rout part of the Shibata army in the midst of the Hideyoshi army's fear!
If...... It's better not to be their enemy!
Feeling the shaking of the ground caused by the terrible cavalry, and listening to the tragedy of the cannon fire and screams, the vast majority of Hideyoshi sergeants who were on the front line thought so, and then lamented their own naivety.
Someday, we will still be enemies! At least for today, let's fight together!
The red scarves flying in the air finally converged into a torrent in the same direction, rolling towards the remnants of Shibata Katsuya.
The Great War continues in every corner of the battlefield, but in fact, the battle in the true sense of the word has ended not so long ago......
