Chapter 400: The Battle of Stone Ridge

In comparison, the Ming army is more familiar with this tactic. In essence, the army of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese were not the products of the same era, especially the Dongdaying of Jingying.

Although the Japanese were equipped with arquebuses, and even the 3,000 men of Tachibana Soshige were equipped with 2,000 arquebuses, they were still cold weapons, and the eastern battalion of the Ming Dynasty had begun to transform into a firearms unit.

This is much stronger than the Liaodong Army, Zu Chengxun will fight Kato Kiyomasa like that, but the Eastern Battalion will definitely not.

The next day was still a peaceful day, but the reinforcements of the Japanese began to appear, although not much, but they had already begun to appear on the Stone Ridge, posing for a battle with the Ming army.

At night, the flames in the camp burned and crackled.

In the tent of the Ming army, Zhang Weixian looked at the map expressionlessly, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong sat quietly with their hands down, neither of them spoke, but waited for Zhang Weixian to speak.

"The Battle of Stone Ridge is about to start tomorrow!"

After a while, Zhang Weixian turned his head and said, "Ben Shuai doesn't want the Stone Ridge to stop our pace, so I need to break through the Stone Ridge as soon as possible. ”

"Your mission is to break through the Stone Ridge, not to kill or injure as many pirates as possible."

Although Zhang Weixian also wanted to kill more widows, Zhang Weixian knew more about what choice he should make at this time. Once the army is blocked at the Stone Ridge, it will evolve into a confrontation between the two sides.

Zhang Weixian didn't want to use his own soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders, even if it was a ten-to-one battle loss.

Change the place, change the terrain, after the army was deployed, Zhang Weixian was confident that he would defeat 100,000 Japanese with 10,000 people, but in the stone ridge, this could never be done.

Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong nodded with serious faces: "Don't worry, Dashuai, we will definitely break through the Stone Ridge tomorrow." ”

Once the stone ridge was taken, the road to Gyeonggi Province was basically cleared, and in other places, the Japanese wanted to fight the Ming army, either defending the city or fighting in the field.

Unfolded in the wild, Zhang Weixian was not afraid, and Zhang Weixian was not afraid of defending the city.

The walls of North Korea didn't matter even if they were Wang Jing, and under the artillery burning the city, the Japanese wouldn't be able to defend it at all. The power of artillery siege has been vividly demonstrated in the battle of Pyongyang.

When the three of them were saying something, they suddenly shouted to kill.

All three of them stood up, could it be that the Japanese invaded at night?

After the idea was born, all three of them were not frightened, but had a sense of joy. It is not easy for the Japanese to attack on the mountain, and once they come down, Zhang Weixian has many ways to clean them up even at night.

Soon the people below came to report: "Enlighten the marshal, it is the strategy of the Japanese to disturb the enemy!" ”

"They rushed down the hill, but halfway through the rush they went back."

Zhang Weixian laughed angrily when he heard it, the Japanese still played this game with him, but he didn't dare to be careless, what if the Japanese really rushed down: "Let people be vigilant, and let the secret whistle go out more." ”

There's really nothing you can do about this kind of thing, and you can't stay awake all night!

As for chasing it out, it's even more impossible, it's okay during the day, but there's no drama at night.

He Renlong on the side couldn't help but speak: "Commander, why don't you let the artillery fire a round of artillery?" Shooting at their camp on the hill, they probably won't be in the mood to harass us. ”

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he was slightly moved, and then waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't expose the artillery in advance, otherwise tomorrow the Japanese will be prepared, and everything will wait for tomorrow's battle!" Zhang Weixian said with a smile: "Just fight hard tomorrow." ”

"Alright, you guys go back and rest!" Zhang Weixian waved his hand and said, "There will be a war tomorrow." ”

The pirates didn't stop that night, and they thought they would attack after the harassment, but unfortunately they didn't. This made the Ming army grit his teeth with hatred, and vowed to give the Japanese a ruthless blow.

Soon the sky was bright, the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the Ming army began to assemble at the foot of the mountain.

When the time came, the Japanese on the mountain knew in their hearts that the key to this time was coming, and they held the Stone Ridge by themselves, killing and wounding a large number of Ming troops, and when the time was ripe, the army rushed down from the Stone Ridge and directly annihilated the Ming army.

Tachibana Soshige has this confidence, and he believes very much that he can do it.

When the sun officially rose, the Ming army completed the assembly, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong stood in front of the army, holding binoculars in their hands and looking at the stone ridge.

If it really goes up, the losses will be great, but the Ming army will not go up brainlessly.

"Let the artillerymen fire!" Cao Wenzhao put down the telescope in his hand and spoke.

With Cao Wenzhao's words, the banner of the herald was fired, and two cannons suddenly sounded on the mountain, and then two cannonballs exploded on the stone ridge, but these two cannons were far away from the position of the Japanese and did not hit at all.

This is the marking of the landing point of the shell, and the Ming army is not in a hurry.

The face of Tachibana Somao on the mountain became ugly.

The Ming army had artillery, which Tachibana Somao knew, and he also knew that the Ming army's artillery was very powerful, but he didn't take it to heart, on the one hand, he felt that it was the reason that the defeated army found for himself.

On the other hand, to this extent, if you are afraid of the artillery of the Ming army, you will not fight?

Before Tachibana Soshige could think about it, the sound of the artillery rang out again, and this time it fell directly into the position of the Japanese Invaders, and there was an earth-shattering explosion.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were directly blown into the sky, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers were also blown up, and the formation was in chaos.

Then came the sound of artillery one after another, and the Ming army arranged almost 300 artillery pieces in these two artillery positions, and when they fired at the same time, the shells smashed down as if they didn't want money.

The rumbling sound of cannons resounded through the Stone Ridge, countless earth and rocks collapsed, and the formation of Japanese robbers was blown away in an instant.

As for the formation, there was no formation for a long time, and the Japanese were scattered and fled, and they couldn't stop it at all, and at this time Huhe couldn't hear it. No one would be stupid enough to stand there waiting to die, it's just too powerful.

If you run early, there may be a play, but by the time the Ming army fires the artillery, it will be too late to run.

The mountain suddenly became a Shura purgatory, countless corpses were blown away, stumps and broken arms were blown everywhere, and the earth and rocks on the top of the mountain were splashed, dust and smoke were billowing out, and nothing could be seen.

Morishita Fishing Cloud and Ten Hours Danma Mamoru stood beside Tachibana Somo, and the two of them realized that it was not good at the moment when the artillery fired, and when the artillery fell, Morishita Fishing Cloud and Ten O'clock Danma Mamori hurriedly escorted Tachibana Somo and ran backwards.

Tachibana Somo is not stupid, so naturally he will not wait there to be bombed, and follow Morishita to fish the clouds and run back at ten o'clock.
