Chapter 443: Severely Defeating the Hearts of the Japanese Army
Nakajima Snow Shore thought that his fire bombs and black oil would make Ling Xia throw a rat trap, so he didn't dare to launch a large-scale attack. However, he miscalculated Ling Xia's strategy, if he was replaced by other commanders to attack the east city of Zhouning County, it might be possible to shrink back according to his analysis, but Ling Xia did the opposite, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he was biased towards the tiger mountains, Ling Xia's deployment and attack caught Nakajima Xuegan by surprise, and at this time Nakajima Xuegan had to personally command the battle.
After the battle started, the consequences were carried out according to Ling Xia's analysis, first of all, the Japanese on the city wall were dispersed by the two siege corps of the battle guards, so that there was a vacancy in the forces guarding the city gate, seeing that the cavalry of the war guards went straight to the city gate, Nakajima Xue'an dispatched the Japanese in the city to the gate to block the attack, but the effect of the blocking was very small, and it could not stop the charging pace of the cavalry of the war guards.
Seeing that the cavalry of the war guard was getting closer and closer, and was about to rush to the city gate, Nakajima Xuegan had to grit his teeth and ordered the city gate to be closed, when the Japanese who defended the city closed the city gate, the three infantry regiments and the two cavalry regiments outside the city were all dumbfounded, and the five legions left by the Japanese outside the city saw that the city gate was closed, and their hearts suddenly ached, and they knew that they could not go back.
After seeing the gate closed, the cavalry regiment of the battle guards who had rushed to the bottom of the city gate immediately turned their horses and attacked the Japanese outside the city in turn, and these cavalrymen turned around and threw a rope with an iron hook to the ground, and when the iron hook at the top of the rope hooked the bracer on the shield, the cavalry flicked the whip and hooked the shield on the ground back.
After the cavalry dragged the shield away, the trap on the ground was exposed again, seeing this hand, even the Japanese Kou including Nakajima Snow Bank couldn't help but curse from the city wall, this trick arranged by Ling Xia not only took back the shield thrown by the shield soldier legion, but also restored the trap area that had just been covered up to its original state, making the city gate full of traps and pits again.
The shield was dragged by the cavalry from the ground and quickly crossed, and the Japanese along the way were caught off guard by the corner of the shield and tripped over a piece, and when the cavalry turned and retreated, they did not stop fighting at all, they relied on their horses to knock the Japanese away, and after waving their hands and slashing a knife, they quickly evacuated regardless of whether they were injured or not, which made the infantry of the Japanese invaders unable to find anyone if they wanted to fight back.
A cavalry slashed, eight cavalry legions in an instant on the battlefield five Japanese legions were drowned, when the cavalry reflexively counterattacked, the siege corps on both sides of the city wall also began to retreat, at this moment the Japanese on the city wall is using bows and crossbows to shoot downwards, because the shield soldier holds the shield to erect a shield wall across the head, so the shield of the arrow shoots clang.
Seeing that the arrows and crossbow arrows could not hurt the guards below, Nakajima Yukigan ordered the Japanese soldiers to set fire the stone bullets, and then use the shelves to smash the burning stone bullets from the city wall.
"Baga, the other side is cunning and cunning." After scolding an island country, Nakajima Xue'an looked at the soldiers on both sides who were still fighting on the battlefield outside the city, hesitated for a moment, his face showed a trace of coldness, turned his head to look at the deputy general beside him, and he commanded in a calm tone: "Pass on the commander's order, throw fireballs at the battlefield outside the city, and cover the attack indiscriminately." ”
"But our ......" The adjutant general was stunned when he heard the order.
"Smack!" slapped the lieutenant general with his backhand, and Nakajima Yukian roared violently: "Command the attack!" ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant general responded loudly, and then, with a sad and angry face, he ran to convey the military order.
"Whoosh ......"
"Bang ......"
Just as the cavalry of the battle guard turned back to counterattack the Japanese legion, suddenly, the city launched a catapult fire bomb attack again, countless burning stone bullets were thrown outside the city in an arc, one by one the fire bombs dragging black smoke pierced the sky and flew into the ground, the fire bombs smashed the ground with a roaring sound, and the stone bullet fragments mixed with countless sparks burst out in all directions, this wave of stone bullets just landed, and another wave of stone bullets followed, and in an instant, a burst of whistling sounds resounded all around.
The fire bombs were dense like meteors falling to the ground, and the soldiers on the battlefield smashed people on their backs, a fleshy body was smashed into flesh, and a war horse was smashed into pieces.
Ling Xia didn't expect Nakajima Snow Shore to be so ruthless, and even the soldiers under his command were willing to smash it, fortunately, Ling Xia had guarded against this hand before, and when he assigned the task, he had been telling everyone to avoid the catapult projectile area, and later he even withdrew Nangong Ran's two legions, and only ordered the cavalry to attack those widows, even the cavalry only allowed them to chop and slash.
It is precisely because of the precautions in advance, so the cavalry soldiers are not entangled in the battle, the first two rounds of fire bombs attacked, because of the suddenness of the incident, the cavalry of the war guard lost 30,000 troops in an unsuspecting situation, and then everyone reacted, the cavalry took advantage of the high-speed gallop of the war horse to bypass the center of the battlefield, and drove the war horse to run to both sides to avoid the fire bomb and escape.
The cavalry of the Guards were able to quickly escape from the area covered by the projectile because they rode their horses, but the soldiers of the Japanese were not so lucky, whether it was three infantry legions or two cavalry legions running on foot, they could only rely on two legs to escape.
However, the area covered by the fire bomb was very vast, except for a few advanced army commanders who successfully escaped, the rest of the Japanese soldiers were all buried in the attack of the fire bombs, seeing this scene, all the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded, and many soldiers even left blood and tears.
When the cavalry corps of the Guards fled back to the camp with trepidation, the battlefield on the opposite side had become a purgatory on earth, and the soldiers of the five legions were killed in the hands of the Guards, except for two legions, and the soldiers of the remaining three legions were all buried in the firebomb attacks of the Guards themselves.
Seeing that all the cavalry of the battle guards had fled, and there were no living people in the battlefield, the Japanese side silently stopped the fireballs, and at this time, Nakajima Yukigan found that the eyes of the soldiers looking at him were full of various emotions, including anger, sadness, disappointment, and frustration......
Feeling those strange eyes on his back, Nakajima Yukian suddenly had a thrill, and he suddenly woke up to the fact that his behavior just now had chilled the soldiers, and in this battle, instead of regaining the morale of the army, he made the situation worse.
Thinking of all this caused by the opposite coach, Nakajima suddenly felt a sense of frustration rise in his heart, although the other party only let himself lose five legions, but it severely frustrated himself and the soldiers' morale.
