Ma Gui commanded the crossbowmen and spearmen to form a formation, forming a neat military formation like a wall, once the Japanese approached, they poked him more than a dozen transparent holes with the head of a snowy big spear, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers was not low, but the length of the weapon was not as good as the Ming army's spear, although a group of Japanese soldiers began to resist and tried to break through the battle bravely, but still could not escape the Ming army's spear stabbing under the end of the battle and died.

Later, Li Rusong with the bloodthirsty Jurchen cavalry also rushed over, the potholed terrain brought a lot of trouble to Li Rusong's cavalry, many cavalry fell off the horse in the process of charging, Li Rusong also accidentally fell, which made him more and more manic, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, directly dropped the horse to fight, and rushed forward with his own soldiers, the Liaodong cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry saw it, and they also followed suit, jumped off the horse and followed the step to fight.
A group of Japanese robbers found that there were ambushes behind them, they were shocked, and hurriedly came to fight, Li Rusong was like seeing the enemy who killed his father, brandished a big sword and rushed forward, a sword slashed over a Japanese robber, and a sword cut off a Japanese robber's spear, even the spear led people into two sections, two Japanese robbers raised their guns, Li Rusong held the two gun heads with one hand, roared and clamped them under the armpit, turned around and broke them, a sword slashed horizontally, two heads fell, and two headless corpses were like a blowout.
Nurhachi followed closely by Li Rusong's side, bravely killed the Japanese soldiers, the Jurchen cavalry got off the horse and was also a first-class foot combat expert, and the Japanese Kou is a chess opponent will meet a good material, and do not like to tie the formation, so they will catch and kill each other one-on-one, the weapon is desperate to fight with his hands and bite with his teeth, the blood of the bite is dripping and dying before he is willing to let go, a small number of Japanese soldiers return fire with guns, and after killing a batch, a group of Jurchen soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and pounced, and the iron gunners who lost the three-stage strike array could not exert their combat effectiveness at all, After one blow, he was killed by the Jurchen soldiers.
A few who reacted quickly could still drop the iron cannon and draw their knives to fight, and most of them were beheaded without even having a chance to draw their knives to fight, or they were chopped off with half of their bodies.
Li Rusong was unstoppable as a pioneer, and he grabbed a member of the Japanese general who killed three Jurchen soldiers in a row and strangled him to death, and he stabbed a Japanese general who stabbed through the Jurchen soldiers with a sword, killing people with a bloody sword for a bloody sword, still killing more than once, Xiao Ruxun's injury has been completely healed, seeing such a scene of fighting, the blood in his bones was also stimulated, regardless of the guard's prevention, he pulled out his knife and took the guards down the mountain, broke into the battle circle and cut down a Japanese robber, and immediately fought with the rest of the Japanese invaders.
Seeing this, many crossbowmen also dropped their bows and crossbows, drew their sabers, and rushed down the mountain, where they fought together.
This valley became a valley of blood.
On behalf of the Ming army's advance and morale of the war drumbling never stopped, the main general and deputy general personally went into battle to kill, Xiao Ruxun, Li Rusong, Ma Gui three main generals came to the front line and fought side by side with the soldiers, so the Ming army became more and more courageous, the morale was more and more vigorous, the morale of the Japanese collapsed, constantly shrinking the troops, trying to counterattack was beaten back every time, suffered heavy losses, and gradually lost the ability to resist.
Constantly appeared to be divided small groups of Japanese soldiers trying to surrender, killing the red-eyed Ming soldiers ignored it at all, a knife down is a head, the Japanese are desperate to find that they are unable to fight and can not surrender, many people try to escape, and will always be killed by the Ming army chasing prey to cut off the head, until the sun is three poles, many Ming soldiers find that they do not even have a standing Japanese around them.
The sound of killing gradually stopped, but the red-eyed Ming soldiers were still unsatisfied, and they all looked around to see where there were still Japanese to kill, but the result was very depressing.
There are still more than 20 Japanese pirates who are making the final resistance, this group of Japanese robbers are all armed with sophisticated Japanese knives, surrounded by the Ming army gunners who formed a military formation, one by one spear piercing, but many will be blocked or even cut off the head of the gun, these Japanese robbers have extremely high force value, and they can also carry out effective counterattacks while defending, but they can't break through the thick formation of the Ming army anyway.
After more than two hours of killing, Xiao Ruxun wiped a handful of blood on his face, looked around, and never even saw a living Japanese coward, these people were eager for merit to the extreme, and even the surrender of the Japanese was not accepted, Xiao Ruxun also saw with his own eyes a Japanese coke drop his weapon and kneel on the ground to beg for surrender, and the next second he was stabbed to death by three spearmen together, and his head was cut off.
The Ming army did not accept prisoners at all.
The counterattack of the more than 20 Japanese warriors was in vain, and they soon died under the spear array of the Ming army, and at this time, only one Japanese warrior was left alive in the entire battlefield, his eyes were dull, his face was calm, and he sat on the ground with his head drooped and looked at the Ming army spearmen who slowly surrounded him, without saying a word.
Xiao Ruxun separated the crowd and stepped forward, and soon Ma Gui and Li Rusong and other generals of the Ming army also arrived, everyone surrounded this guy, looking at this guy's outfit, and felt that his identity was not ordinary.
"The person who protects him is a Japanese samurai, and the samurai are generally the personal guards of high-ranking Japanese officials, family generals, the number is very small, extremely elite, more than 20 samurai protect this person together, then the identity of this person is self-evident, everyone, our luck is good, and we captured two Japanese generals in a row! This person must be Kiyomasa Kato! Come on, tie it up! ā
"No!"
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward with hemp rope and tied Kato Kiyomasa up and tied it as firmly as a rice dumpling, and Kato Kiyomasa did not resist at all during the whole process.
A smug smile appeared on the faces of the generals, Xiao Ruxun carried the battle sword, raised it above his head, and shouted, "We won!! ā
"Oh oh oh oh oh !!"
After a short period of silence, the surrounding Ming troops erupted in high cheers.
Five days after Pyongyang's victory, another victory was born, their commander led them to fight two big victories in a row, two hearty victories, Xiao Ruxun's prestige increased rapidly, at least in this army, there was no one who was unwilling to obey Xiao Ruxun's orders.
The army rested on the spot, climbed to the mountainside that was still clean and not stained with flesh and blood and sat down to rest, and then drank water and ate dry food to restore strength, the doctors of the medical battalion were reluctant to approach the battlefield, so someone carried the wounded soldiers to the outside of the valley to give the doctors a simple treatment, and then transported them back to Yizhou to rest, and someone went to count the Ming army's battle losses and gains in this battle.
Two hours later, the army was finished resting and regrouping, ready to go to Yiju to rest, the preliminary statistical report was also completed, the Ming army participated in the battle of 26,000 troops, 897 people were killed, 2,172 were slightly wounded, 566 people were seriously wounded, 3,809 heads of the Japanese were beheaded, and more than 19,000 Japanese were completely annihilated.
