The morning sun was rising, the east was slightly pale, and after a whole night of iron artillery raids and suppression, the defenders of the city could finally relax their nervous nerves, hide behind the female wall and stretch their waists appropriately, ready for a new battle.

Considering the mood of the stable soldiers, Yang Yuan also moved the command post from the inner city to the Dysprosium Tower overnight, always paying attention to the changes outside the city. After enduring for an hour, he finally looked forward to the dawn, listened attentively, and the sound of guns outside the city became a lot more sparse, Yang Yuan smiled and said to the generals: "Listen."

The ammunition to go to the Japanese is running out, and it's time for me to wait for a counterattack. Lord Ren, give the order to mobilize the city's artillery to counterattack, and this time we must give them some color. ”

"Obedience." Ren Xuan respectfully and slightly excitedly took the order to go out, thinking to himself, he must avenge General Shen Hao today!

But as soon as Ren Xuan stepped out of the door with his front feet, he heard a loud "boom", and the whole person, along with the wooden door, was suddenly bounced back into the house by a shock wave and slammed into the wall. Ren Xuan spat blood from his mouth, trying to pull out the pottery shards all over his chest, but his hands had already been blown up, and blood was splattered

Yidi, looking at Yang Yuan with difficulty, holding something in his mouth, before Yang Yuan could get closer, his neck was crooked and died.

"What the hell is going on?!" Yang Yuan roared like crazy, but before the generals could answer, a larger-scale explosion sounded all around, this sound shook the heavens and the earth, one after another, and it caused panic all over the city in an instant, Yang Yuan wanted to take the generals out to check, and they were all over the place several times

The broken hands and feet that were shocked into the house blocked the way, and even worse, a Ming soldier who was shocked into the house crawled in front of Yang Yuan, pulled his armor tightly, and cried "return my legs", and finally died of blood loss.

Stepping on the remains of the victims and the red-dyed flags, Yang Yuan cautiously walked out of the tower, the scene in front of him was simply blinding, the smoke of gunpowder swept through every battlement on the tower, the hoarse roar and the wail of slaughter pierced the heart, blood mixed with gunpowder splash

On the faces of the crowd, the occasional flying fragment of corpse crashed against the bloody armor, emitting a kind of hellish moan.

"It's a big deal, the Japanese have filled up the Sheep and Horse City!" Jiang Biao staggered back to the corner and cried out in despair.

Yang Yuan wiped the blood from his face, opened his eyes wide and looked out of the south gate, only to see a large number of Japanese soldiers standing on the straw pile high in Qicheng, first through the throwing and baking, and after it exploded, he immediately jumped over the women's wall with a gun, assassinated the panicked defenders, and occupied the battlements to open up the battlefield.

Roasting is a grenade-like weapon in which a clay pot is filled with gunpowder to ignite a fuse and throw at enemies. The clay pot has a rope on it, which is thrown with centrifugal force, one of which can kill or injure enemy soldiers, and the other can ignite nearby wooden structures. Its explosive power and ceramic shards are the main force of destruction. It was used by the Seto Inland Sea naval forces such as the Murakami Naval Army and the Nomi Imperial Army, and it was also a characteristic equipment of the Mori family.

When the roasting is fired as a projectile, it is also called the baking jade, and the weapon responsible for the launch is also called the stick fire arrow, similar to the "flying fire crow" of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's me who underestimated the Japanese coquents." Yang Yuan's voice was low, and his eyes showed a sense of loss, but as the general general, the lives of the four thousand defenders in the city were all in his own hands, how could he give up lightly at this moment? "The generals will listen to the order, follow me to surround the Japanese bandits, and they must not be allowed into the city!"

"The last general (lower official) obeys the order!" Seeing that Yang Yuan did not mess with himself, the generals were also excited, and drew their sabers and went to kill each battlement.

Along the way, the smoke of gunpowder billowed and mourned all over the field, accompanied by the sound of explosions, the defenders were thrown into the air one by one, and fell to the ground one by one. Due to the deterrence and damage of baking, the front-line defenders began to be overwhelmed, especially the temporary Korean defenders, who were even more scattered, and before the Japanese army could kill them, they were frightened by the baking and fled to the city gate in panic.

Fortunately, several of the main battlements were guarded by the Ming army, and these Liaodong iron cavalry were in contact with firearms all the year round, so they were not scared away by baking, not only that, but after getting the news that Yang Yuan personally went into battle, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and a company withstood the repeated attacks of the Japanese army, and suppressed it around the battlements.

Seeing that the Ming army was in a great reversal, Xiuyuan immediately ordered to transfer the iron artillery under the city to Yangma City, shoot the Ming army from a long distance, and support the Japanese army on the front line.

As the forward of the South Gate, Yoshikawa Guangjia personally led 500 soldiers to attack the battlement above the South Gate, and was opposed by Yang Yuan, the deputy general of the Ma Army, and Jiang Biao, the commander of the Ma Army. This person has followed Yang Yuan for many years and is loyal to him, so that he can make a three-foot-long Miao knife, and he is nicknamed "Jiang Dadao".

Fighting against him, the Guang family did not have the slightest advantage, watching his own soldiers being cut by him like cutting melons and vegetables, but there was no way at all, and the position that he finally occupied was taken away little by little.

"These bantam donkeys are just right to exchange for war exploits." Jiang Biao brandished a broadsword, rushed left and right in the Japanese army, and in a short time cut more than a dozen heads, which were used to exchange for war exploits, otherwise he would not have needed to cut the neck of the Japanese army with a knife.

Under the leadership of Jiang Biao, the Ming army became more and more courageous, and almost broke into the Guangjia main formation several times, but fortunately they were all sworn to resist by the retainers. "How can I explain this result to the general general?" The Guang family burst into tears, trembling and imagining the scene of being dealt with by military law.

"Yoshikawa-sama!" A familiar voice came into the ears of the Guang family from behind.

"It's a loyal guard!" The Guang family turned his face and couldn't help but laugh: Date Tada, the head of the Maori family's iron artillery group, had already led 500 iron cannons to climb the grass pile and aimed at the Ming army defending the city.

"Get down, everybody!" The Guang family shouted, although everyone didn't know the reason, but after all, it was a military order, so they had to immediately fall to the ground. The Ming army did not understand Japanese and continued to advance forward, but the situation was reversed after five minutes.

Three hundred iron cannons aimed at this small battlement at the same time, the loyal guards gave an order, accompanied by the slow rise of black smoke, three hundred projectiles, with lightning speed to shoot at the Ming army in the dark, instantly erupted a muffled sound of metal shooting through the body, followed by nearly 100 Ming soldiers spit blood, fell in response, and the victory or defeat was known in an instant.

After the smoke of gunpowder, the Guang family led everyone to hold a knife to "check" whether there were still survivors, and as expected, nearly one-third of the Ming army was only injured, which was not enough to kill, but in front of the Guang family, they had to die if they didn't die. "This is the order of the Guang family.

Walking up to Jiang Biao, the Guang family was shocked, although he weighed more than ten guns, he still held the Miao knife in his hand, trembling and wanted to wave it at the Guang family, of course, this was in vain, and before he could lift it, he was poked into a hornet's nest by eight foot lights. "I bury this general, and my Guang family is a pig-like existence in front of him." The Guang family closed their eyes for Jiang Biao, and got up to leave after silently overtaking it.

With the victory of the Guang family, the south gate was already close at hand, and in order to support Hidemoto, Kato Kiyomasa and others also stepped up their attacks. Since the situation at the South Gate was the most severe, most of the troops were concentrated, and the other three gates were overstretched.

Sure enough, the battle lasted until noon, Qingzheng took the lead in breaking through the north gate, and Li Xinfang, the general soldier sent by Yang Yuan, was also killed in battle, and all 700 Ming troops were martyred.

10,000 troops rushed in, and the defenders in the city were caught off guard, and they all became unjust souls. Qingzheng has only one purpose, that is, to rush to the south gate to meet with the Guang family and kill Yang Yuan.

Qingzheng led the cavalry first, the war horse galloped in blood, where the horse's hooves were tread, there was the sound of broken bones from time to time, looking at the black smoke above the south gate, Qingzheng laughed wildly with red eyes: "Yang Yuan'er, I am going to break you into ten thousand pieces!" ”

(I'm sorry everyone, the battle of Nanyuan still has a little tail, and I will definitely let Xiubao appear tomorrow night!) ）
