The soldiers from other directions transferred by Zhou Yuji couldn't intervene at all, so they could only watch their comrades fight with the enemy from a distance, although they were in a hurry, they couldn't intervene, it should be a very helpless idea.

Zhou Yuji shouted: "Open the city gate next to you and go out to attack from the outside." It dawned on everyone, so the side gates opened, and the guards lined up in three rows and walked towards the Japanese troops outside.

The Guards fired alternately as they walked, anyway, there were all Japanese troops below, and they were crowded, and as long as they didn't fire into the sky, they could always hit a target. When they were thirty paces away from the Japanese troops, the officer ordered to stop advancing and continue shooting.

The Japanese army was a little overwhelmed, and they wanted to attack the city wall, and they wanted to attack the guards next to them, so they had a difficult choice. It's like when you were about to pick a fruit, but you were about to pick it, and when a troublemaker came next to you, you were a little at a loss.

Tokugawa Tadanaga was not entirely a madman after all, and when he saw the Japanese soldiers standing and being beaten, he shouted, "Hurry up and attack the flank." ”

When the Japanese heard the order, they knew to shift the direction of attack, and immediately some of them rushed towards the guards next to them, and the front row of the guards prepared for close combat, and the soldiers behind continued to set fire to the guns.

The Japanese army was too slow to react, and by the time Tokugawa Tadanaga gave the order, the Japanese army had already been defeated, and they rushed over with a howl, and there was no way to break through in the face of the formation of the Guards.

The Japanese army was attacked from the flank, which greatly reduced the number of people who climbed the wall in front, and the pressure on the Ming army at the head of the wall was greatly reduced, and the equipment advantage of the Ming army was more easily reflected, and the battlefield situation began to tilt towards the side of the Ming army.

The Japanese were already at a disadvantage, but they didn't seem to care about it, and still desperately climbed the wall or attacked the Ming troops on the flank.

But bravery or stupid bravery alone could not change the outcome of the matter, and the Japanese army was more than brave and inflexible, and soon could not support it under the offensive of the Guards.

Tokugawa Tadanaga sighed and ordered the heralds to wave their collection flags, which were seen by the Japanese commanders, but most of them ignored them and continued their futile and tragic attack.

Zhou Yuji ordered: "Don't let any of them go." "Such a murderous soldier, if they are allowed to have the equipment of the Guards one day, it will be really difficult to deal with at that time.

Of course, the Guards can't let them go, because they've been attacking, and they can't stop and let them fight. As the battle continued, Tokugawa had no choice but to flee with his guards. Zhou Yuji thought that the enemies who could flee were not difficult to deal with, so he did not divide the people into pursuit, and let the guards concentrate on dealing with the enemies who were still resisting.

It's okay that the soldiers who were hit by bullets one by one, but the immediate sense of being stabbed through the picture with a bayonet during the impact made Zhou Yuji feel a little uncomfortable, but he was also more determined to annihilate these Japanese soldiers.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the battle finally ended when the last Japanese soldier was hit in the head by a bullet in the head and fell to the ground like a cloth bag during the charge.

Although I have fought with the Japanese army before, and I have seen the Japanese army not afraid of death, but so many people, in a doomed battle, in vain, this kind of picture still shocked many people.

Zhou Yuji ordered to clean up the battlefield, the guards first rescued their comrades, and then began to clean up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, Zhou Yuji said: "Be careful of the enemy's death, act in pairs." ”

Even after this explanation, there was still a soldier who was stabbed by a Japanese samurai who was seriously injured and wanted to die, so that the soldiers behind had to poke twice on the corpse of the Japanese soldier before they could safely inspect it.

The Guards lost 120 dead and 932 wounded, while the Japanese lost 3,215. There were no wounded and no prisoners. Such an exchange ratio had a lot to do with the fact that the Guards were far superior to the Japanese army's equipment. In particular, the armor of the Guards, which allowed a large number of people to be wounded without dying.

After the war, Zhou Yuji convened a meeting of all the flag commanders, and he said: "This battle may have a greater impact on the soldiers, and you will hold another meeting for the soldiers when you go back, focusing on these points." ”

"First, the Japanese army is very ferocious, and we must deal with it carefully in the future; Second, the Japanese army admits death, so it must be flexible in the future; Third, although the Japanese army was stupid, their bravery is also worth learning from. The specific words depend on what you say, and you can also let the soldiers express their opinions and discuss what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese army, and we must learn from the good and discard the bad, so that our combat effectiveness will rise. ”

As a result, the army soon launched a discussion activity of "knowing the enemy and learning from the enemy" with the flag as a unit. This kind of activity first gave the soldiers a rational understanding of the ferocity of the Japanese army, and understood that the murder alone was not difficult to deal with, and removed the fear of the soldiers.

Secondly, let the soldiers have a preliminary understanding of the spirit of bushido. This understanding, on the contrary, some soldiers also shouted to organize our Ming army's death squad, and my Ming Dynasty will definitely not be worse than the Japanese or anything, which has greatly improved morale.

Less than 1,000 of the 4,000 shogunate troops escaped, and Tokugawa Tadanaga knew that it was difficult to explain, so he had to desperately exaggerate the number and weapons of the Ming army after joining up with the follow-up army, and in his mouth, the Ming army could not be defeated at all, and the Satsuma dispute could only be resolved through negotiations.

The shogunate's 7,000 troops mainly came from the feudal states of Higo, Bunzen, Bungo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, etc., and this battle of Akune was mainly the soldiers of the three feudal states of Higo, Bungo, and Chikugo, and now such a big loss made the various feudal states dare not continue to advance, and they all echoed the views of Tokugawa Tadanaga and asked the shogunate to negotiate the Satsuma issue with the Akito.

When Tokugawa Tadanaga's letter was delivered to Tokugawa Hidetada, Tokugawa Hidetada was assembling the naval forces of Tosa and Awa, the armies of Iyo, Izumo, and Aki, totaling about 8,000 men, and preparing to march to Satsuma.

Tokugawa Tadacho's letter said: "Its fire is sharp, not my southern barbarian carcass can not resist, and its artillery can reach two miles in a single blow, and the southern barbarian carcass can hardly stop its edge, my seed gun is completely powerless against its armor, and the sword and its body can only hurt it a little." I don't know how to win such a battle, so please think twice. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada was furious when he received the news of the striker's defeat first, but after receiving this letter, he finally calmed down. If what Zhongchang said is true, then there is really no chance of winning in the battle with the Ming army, since it cannot be won on the battlefield, it is the same to win from other battlefields, and it will even be better. Doesn't Da Ming like to call himself the Heavenly Empire? Then take a good picture, maybe it will be beneficial.
