Chapter 1678: The Power of the Fire Gun (I)
There are no secrets in this world that will never be known, and the news that Heijokyo was breached is the same, and Hou Junji's attack method of attacking only one city wall with heavy troops itself left a chance for the Japanese people, so there are still many people who escaped from the other city walls and sent the news to the hands of the big brother king of Shanbei, who was leading troops to Heijojing.
The capital with tens of thousands of male soldiers was broken in one day, and the most ruthless and murderous person was actually the Japanese themselves, which made the eldest brother Wang Qi on the back of the mountain surge, and led the troops to rush overnight, until he was more than ten miles away from Pingchengjing, and looked at the billowing smoke rising in the direction of Pingchengjing in the distance, and let out a long howl that was not like a human voice.
The capital of the country was destroyed, and I heard that there was a massacre, which means that there is no need for Pingchengjing to rescue at this time, and it is only right to face the attack of the Tang army next.
The ruthless Yamabei Big Brother King called the head of the Monobe clan and Soga Ezo, and said in an extremely gloomy tone, "The two of you should already know the news of Heijokyo, right?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, the ministers have heard about it." The patriarch of the Monobe clan said respectfully, while Su I Ezo nodded solemnly, indicating that he already knew the news with practical actions.
"So what do you think about this? Do you want to continue the infighting? The Mountainback Big Brother King continued to ask.
"Your Highness, we have already known our mistakes, and we will definitely work together in the future to fight to the death with Datang." Su I Ezo didn't have time to express his position just now, and he didn't dare to miss the opportunity at this time, so he hurriedly said.
"Okay, you go back tonight to reorganize the army, and set off early tomorrow morning, we will fight to the death with the Tang army, I don't believe that the 200,000 army will not be able to fight the 100,000 Tang army."
Shanbei Brother Wang seems to have lost his mind at this time, and he regarded the 100,000 reinforcements as the previous expeditionary army.
……
Early the next morning, before dawn, the camp was already brightly lit, and the voices of the people were boiling, and groups of Japanese people rode horses not much bigger than the Huskis, galloping out, leaving thousands of bloody human heads in the camp.
It was the head of the last batch of defeated soldiers, and originally the eldest brother of the mountain back wanted to let them be cannon fodder, but later heard that Pingchengjing was slaughtered, and he was angry and ordered these people to be killed on the spot.
At noon, the Japanese army marched to Pingchengjing, the fire in the city was still not extinguished, with the billowing smoke rising into the sky, and the aroma of barbecued meat came, without asking you to know that it was the smell of the corpses in the city being burned.
However, now is not the time to take these into account, in addition to the walls of Heijojing, there are 50,000 right-hand guards who are lying between Pingchengjing and them.
From a distance, you can find that these 50,000 soldiers and the 50,000 people of the expeditionary legion are definitely not in the same heavyweight.
I saw these 50,000 soldiers, all of them full of murderous energy, and all of them in their hands were a kind of weapons that the Japanese army had never seen before, like a spear but without a spear head, like a short stick but much longer than a short stick.
Moreover, the battle formation of these 50,000 people is also very different from the previous expeditionary legion, they are not like a normal military formation in dozens of rows, but only three simple rows.
And not counting that, in addition to the very strange formations of soldiers, there were hundreds of wheels with long boxes on them, and things resembling bed crossbows were lined up on the two wings of the military formation, and behind each of these bed crossbows stood two people.
What's going on? Tang Jun is crazy? Or is there a new way of warfare?
After receiving the report from his subordinates, the eldest brother of the mountain, the eldest brother of the mountain, pulled the head of the Monobe clan and Su I Ezo to the front of the formation as quickly as possible, and looked at the strange way of arranging the formation of the Tang army and fell into deep thought for a long time.
"Your Royal Highness, why don't you let the ministers test them?" For some reason, Su I Ezo took the initiative to ask for war this time, which is completely different from the previous non-cooperation.
"No, this battle will be fought by the Monobe clan, concentrate on breaking the Chinese army, and if it wins, the Su I clan will attack its two wings." The eldest brother of the mountain, the king, hesitated for a moment, and finally denied Soga Ezo and sent the head of the Monobe clan out.
What if it fails? Su I Ezo wanted to ask, but in order not to bear the charge of shaking the morale of the army, he still hid this question in his heart.
……
The head of the Monobe clan didn't know what the elder brother of the mountain back meant, but he still gathered the soldiers according to the order, but compared to the right guard on the opposite side, these soldiers immediately showed a lot of intimidation.
Not to mention the arrangement, just in terms of height, the momentum has been suppressed by more than one head.
……
70,000 against 50,000, Japanese soldiers against the Tang army.
The cold wind of the setting sun swept up the remnants of snow on the ground, swirling past the empty battlefield between the two armies, and the aura of slaughter began to spread.
"Woo ......" Among the Japanese army, the horn sounded continuously, and the patriarch of the monobe clan who couldn't bear it first launched an attack on the Tang army.
It's not that he doesn't want to delay the time any longer, but he knows very well that the Japanese soldiers are not patient to wait, and the longer they wait, the faster their morale will drop.
Looking at the Japanese cavalry that was speeding up towards the side a little bit, the 50,000 Youwei guards were almost stupid, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Chinese army, as if they wanted to ask their generals whether they had come to fight or to live at home.
The Japanese soldiers on the other side are so funny, don't there be horses in the Japanese country? What's the deal with getting a dog to ride!
"Ready!" Just when the right guard soldiers were secretly complaining in their hearts, the flag of the Chinese army was waved, and immediately the captains of all formations were vigilant and issued orders to their subordinates to prepare for an attack.
In an instant, tens of thousands of people ignited a coarse incense on their wrists almost at the same time, and tens of thousands of fire guns were also lifted in unison.
Somehow, the eldest brother on the back of the mountain suddenly felt that his heart was very blocked, and he was a little out of breath, and an ominous premonition slowly rose from the bottom of his heart, and he hurriedly recruited the soldiers under his command in a hurry, intending to recruit back the army that had rushed out.
But at this time, a scene that shocked everyone happened, I saw that the Tang Jun on the opposite side suddenly raised the black stick in his hand, and then there was an earth-shattering loud noise...... The smoke of gunpowder covered the military formation of the Tang Army.
But that's not the point, the point is that after that loud bang, the rushing Japanese suddenly fell down in pieces, screaming in a loud voice.
And what is frightening is that the loud noise did not end because of this, at the moment when the big brother on the back of the mountain almost bit off his tongue in surprise, the second loud bang sounded at the same time, followed by the third .......
The howl peculiar to the Japanese charging had stopped at some point, and 70,000 people rushed up, less than half of them could run back intact, and the rest all fell more than a hundred steps in front of the Tang army's formation.
