Chapter 401: The Battle of Gravel Ridge
In this case, it depends on luck to escape, apparently Tachibana Muneshige and Morishita Fishing Cloud Ten Hour but Mamori's luck is not so good, and as soon as the chaotic army walked out, two cannonballs fell on the heads of the three people.
When the shell hit the ground, there was an explosion in an instant, and all three people were thrown into the sky.
After two rounds of shelling, there was no sign of the Japanese on the top of the mountain, Cao Wenzhao stood at the bottom of the mountain and said to He Renlong: "Go up the mountain!" You're going to lead the team yourself? ”
"Of course, we have already agreed that you will command me to charge."
He Renlong laughed, and beckoned with his knife: "Shield soldier, follow me!" ”
The shieldbearer only has a square shield in his hand and no other offensive weapons, but this thing is very powerful. The four corners are pointed, and the front of the shield also has sharp spikes.
Coupled with the heavy weight, as long as you are knocked into it, you don't have half a life if you don't die.
In addition to the shields, each of the shield soldiers had four grenades hanging from their waists, which was the most equipped with grenades in the entire East Battalion. Resisting, then throwing grenades, is the first round of combat for shield soldiers.
The shield soldiers in the East Battalion are all the best of the best, and the average height is more than 1.8 meters.
Everyone is trained in all kinds of ways, and there is plenty of meat, and they are all big shoulders and round waists, and they are full of strength. He picks up a shield all the year round, his arms are thicker than ordinary people, and his skin is even darker and shiny.
You must know that in the eastern camp, the food of the shield soldiers is the best.
With the order of He Renlong, the shield bearers still charged up the hill with their shields, and behind them were the spearmen, then the musketeers. With a Mitsubishi military thorn on his waist, he is very fast.
Behind the musketeers were archers, few in number, but each one very swift.
The archers are no longer the original existence that provided long-range fire coverage, and the archers of the East Battalion are all selected, not to mention a hundred steps, but they are also very accurate.
The all-new compound bow with pulleys, paired with Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows, is definitely a big killer.
Their main task is to point kill, kill enemy generals, or those who lead the charge, to supplement the lack of accuracy of the platoon guns. These people are all treasures, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, who have 12,000 guards, and there are only 500 such archers.
Although they fought like this, the Ming army also knew that the Japanese on the mountain were afraid that they would not be able to organize any resistance.
After rushing to the mountain, there were the corpses of the Japanese and the wailing wounded everywhere, and there was not a single intact Japanese who were left intact, and they did not have the heart to resist, and there was a wild run along the way down the mountain.
After the Ming army rushed up completely, there was no enemy, just like the previous exercises.
The act of winning the commanding heights has been carried out countless times, everyone held back their strength, and then rushed up and failed, He Renlong saw a shield soldier rushing in front of a wolf, and a shield slapped the wolf on the ground.
Countless people even scolded loudly, and some even scolded the artillery, what are you doing with such accurate shelling?
He Renlong was also speechless, he had been accumulating strength for so long, shield soldiers, musketeers, and even treasures like archers had come out, and then this kind of result?
Not to mention the people below, He Renlong himself had a feeling of flashing his waist.
However, the lion fights the rabbit still needs power, and it was said in the royal martial arts hall that winning more with less is a choice that will be made when there is no way, and most of the winning more with less refers to the whole war.
If we analyze it in detail, most of the big battles in which fewer people win more are also fought by concentrating superior forces in a local area.
Therefore, the Royal Lecture Hall has taught that we must concentrate superior forces to fight as much as possible, and safety is the first place. This time, He Renlong followed the teachings of the Royal Lecture Hall, and the effect was also very good, but the loss in his heart could not be concealed.
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong used all their strength this time, and fought an infantry and artillery coordination, and then the enemy did not give strength, and the first wave did not resist, it was not that our army did not use force, but the enemy was too wasteful.
From sunrise, the battle ended before noon, and it was not even time for lunch, so there was a feeling of being a tiger.
The rest is to clean up the battlefield, the equipment of the Japanese invaders is not looked down upon by the Ming army, but the Japanese have money and treasures, most of which they robbed, but this Ming army has little to do with it, and there is no guilt at all when it is picked up.
Qi Jiguang's handsome account.
As the commander of the army, Qi Jiguang has naturally been paying attention to the battle ahead, and the news of Zhang Weixian's light capture of Lishiling has naturally come a long time ago, which makes Qi Jiguang very happy.
On the one hand, Li Chengliang was depressed, and he thought that there would be some new tactics, but the result was that the equipment was crushed.
Although the Liaodong Army is also the elite of the Ming Dynasty, compared to the equipment of the Eastern Battalion, it is really not a little worse. I hadn't seen it before, but this time I really saw it.
Li Chengliang saw clearly from the telescope that the artillery in the East Camp was really powerless.
The power is great, the range is long, the effect after the explosion is really good, the rate of fire is also fast, it is impossible to form a formation in front of such artillery fire, and you can't form a formation and make a fart!
Li Chengliang suddenly looked aggrieved, my Liaodong Army was raised by his stepmother?
Although the Liaodong Army was also equipped with a lot of new artillery, most of them were previous prototypes and improved models. The East Battalion is equipped with the latest mass-produced model, named General Shenwei Cannon.
It is said that the Armament Division has begun to develop a new cannon, which is a more advanced model, but it is kept secret.
Li Chengliang didn't feel anything, where else can you go no matter how good you are, but this time when he saw the artillery of the East Daying, Li Chengliang was immediately unhappy, this power is too bad.
I'll go to the emperor when I go back, I can't bear this, you have to give me some too.
In fact, Qi Jiguang knew that this kind of artillery was also equipped with the East Battalion, and the West Battalion did not have it, and it was said that the emperor was not satisfied, so he had a new artillery project of the Armament Division, and this new project was named the "Invincible Cannon" plan.
Anyway, Qi Jiguang has never seen this kind of invincible cannon until now.
However, neither of them mentioned the matter of the cannon, because Zhang Weixian came with Cao Wenzhao, and the two of them completed the task excellently and directly took the stone ridge.
"Come and give orders!" Zhang Weixian said loudly.
Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Okay, very good, after taking the Stone Ridge, the army can continue to move forward, and early tomorrow morning, the army will pull out the camp and enter Gyeonggi Province." ”
The atmosphere on the side of the Ming army was relaxed, but the atmosphere inside the Wangke Yan camp of Kobayakawa Takashi was extremely dignified.
"Is the artillery of the Ming army really that powerful?" Kobayakawa Takakei looked at the soldiers who came back, and asked with a serious face, although the Ming army pursued, but someone still escaped back.
"Commander, we were blown up by the artillery of the Ming army before we even encountered the Ming army!"
