Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of Liaonan Town, who was commanding the army to attack the Japanese camp, suddenly saw the rout of the Japanese army, and immediately ordered the officers and men of Battalion A and Battalion B of Liaonan Town to attack and kill the Japanese Chinese army from the south of the Japanese battalion, and at the same time ordered the officers and men of the C Battalion of Liaonan Town to follow up and cover the attack of the officers and men of Battalion A and Battalion B, so as to minimize the casualties of the Ming army.

At the same time, Ai Nengqi, the chief officer of Tashan Town, also gave an order, ordering the officers and men of Battalion A and Battalion B of Tashan Town to charge from the north of the Japanese battalion, and the soldiers of Battalion C followed suit.

For a time, a total of more than 40,000 soldiers of the Ming army in the two towns launched a general attack, and only one charge broke through the Japanese camp, and the Japanese soldiers along the way fled in a flock, unable to resist at all. Those Japanese samurai and ashigaru fled in all directions in the camp, and they had long lost their former bravery and self-confidence, and under the offensive of the Ming army soldiers, they were like lost dogs, driven by tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, and constantly let out frightened screams.

However, a small number of soldiers and horses in the Japanese army launched a counterattack against the Ming soldiers.

The Japanese army's leading general, Yasumasa Kamihara, also had 200 Notai swordsmen, who were killed by the Ming army's fierce artillery fire and fire in the previous fierce battle, and only 12 or 30 people were left at this time.

At this time, after more than 40,000 soldiers from Liaonan Town and Tashan Town entered the Japanese camp, the 120 or 30 Yetai Sword Heroes divided into two groups and launched a suicidal charge towards the soldiers of the Ming Army on the south and north roads with a shout.

I saw that these wild swords and swords were like crazy, and they all raised the swords in their hands like a long knife for cutting horses, and rushed to the Ming army soldiers in the south and north, preparing to have one-on-one hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army soldiers.

These Notai swordsmen are the elite of the Japanese army, and they are deeply influenced by the Japanese bushido, and they think that they are the best melee kings in the world, and they can block the attack of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers with more than 100 troops to reverse the defeat in front of them.

However, what greeted these wild sword heroes who had fallen into madness was not the spears and swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming army, but the exquisite bird guns in the hands of the soldiers of the C Battalion of Liaonan Town and the C Battalion of Tashan Town!

I saw that the soldiers of the Ming army on the south and north roads dispersed to both sides in an instant, and the two armies of firearms attacked more than 15,000 birds and guns appeared in front of the Japanese army in an instant, and the two huge horizontal formations made the more than 100 Yetai sword heroes who were charging suddenly stunned on the spot.

"Sons and grandsons of the great god of sunshine! Rush up! The god of sunshine will bless us with defeating the Ming army! ”

A Yetai Sword Hero shouted frantically, and dozens of Wild Sword Heroes on the South Road howled and continued to rush up, followed by dozens of Wild Tai Sword Heroes on the North Road also continued to rush towards the soldiers of Tashan Town in the north.

"All of them! Ready~~ put! ”

"Whole army! Preparation! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The general of the C battalion of Liaonan Town and the general of the C battalion of Haixi Town roared and gave the order to open fire almost at the same time, only to see that the south and north sides of the Japanese battalion suddenly flickered and roared to the sky, and more than 15,000 elite bird gunners opened fire together, and the fierce fire instantly enveloped the Notai sword warrior who had rushed to within 30 steps of the army.

When the smoke cleared, the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese camp were horrified to find that not only had the 12 or 30 Notai sword heroes fallen to the ground and had survived, but all the Japanese soldiers within 100 steps of the Ming army had become corpses on the ground.

The Ming army's firecracker array was extremely violent, and under such a firepower attack, even the fierce Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry could not resist it, and those Japanese soldiers who were only equipped with bamboo armor could resist!

Subsequently, under the command of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, the southern and northern armies opened the way with more than 15,000 bird-fighting men, and the remaining more than 20,000 melee soldiers were then covered and killed, and more than 40,000 Ming soldiers and soldiers crushed towards the middle of the Japanese camp, and the Japanese troops along the way became corpses on the ground, and they were powerless to stop them.

Until the evening of this day, Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of Liaonan Town, and Ai Nengqi, the chief military officer of Tashan Town, led the guards to the Japanese army camp in the middle of the army, and saw that the camp was full of Japanese corpses, and the 30,000 Japanese troops had all been wiped out, and no one survived!

Ai Nengqi laughed and said to Li Dingguo: "Haha! Big brother, in my opinion, if we continue to attack such a big battalion and a large battalion, even if Wu Zongzhen does not lead the army to participate in the battle, we can completely annihilate these 300,000 Japanese troops! ”

Li Dingguo first smiled, and then said: "Don't underestimate the enemy!" This Japanese army fell for our strategy, so that after dividing the troops, they couldn't take care of each other, and they were broken by each of us. If the Japanese commander who had already escaped rushed to the north before us and gathered all the remaining Japanese troops, we would be in for a bitter battle. ”

"Is Big Brother too careful?"

Ai Nengqi said with a smile: "The artillery and bird guns in our army are completely defeated by the Japanese army, even if the Japanese army commander gathers all the remaining 100,000 troops in advance and goes south to start a decisive battle with 80,000 soldiers in our two towns, we are absolutely sure to defeat it!" ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "I believe this!" But do you know how much gunpowder is left in our army? How many guns are left? At that time, if there is a decisive battle with the Japanese army, how many soldiers will have to sacrifice? ”

Li Dingguo's series of questions suddenly made Ainengqi speechless, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said, "What does the big brother mean?" ”

"The soldiers of our two towns immediately went north overnight, raided the next Japanese battalion, and did their best to consume the Japanese army's strength. However, as soon as we find that the Japanese army has begun to assemble to the north, we must immediately stop the pace of the northward attack, camp on the spot, hold the passage to the south of the plain, and continue to confront the Japanese army. ”

"But what if the Japanese army decides to give up cutting off the rear route of our army and retreat directly to the north because of the heavy casualties of the army under its command?" ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo also sighed, shook his head, and said: "If by that time, Wu Zongzhen still hasn't led the army to arrive, then let's follow all the way and see if we can make some gains when the Japanese army retreats." Other than that, we don't have a good solution. ”

"If the Japanese army retreats, we might as well do our best to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army!"

"I don't need to!"

Li Dingguo shook his head firmly and said: "Up to now, our army has always had the upper hand, and there is no need to hurt the vitality of the army for the sake of a temporary victory. When the time comes, if the Japanese army wants to withdraw, let them withdraw, as long as our army has no worries about the back, these Japanese troops will sooner or later become our fallen ghosts! ”

That night, after the 80,000 soldiers in Liaonan Town and Tashan Town had recovered their strength, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led their troops north overnight, preparing to raid the next Japanese battalion more than ten miles to the north.

The officers and men of the army took the infantry army of the two towns as the vanguard, and carried more than 200 artillery pieces from the artillery battalions of the two towns to the north quickly. The 15,000 iron cavalry soldiers of the two towns went directly to the east, preparing to bypass the Japanese camp in the north from the area around Miaoxiang Mountain, cutting off the Japanese army in the camp from the rest of the Japanese army.

An hour later, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led the army to three miles south of the Japanese camp, and began to reorganize the formation of the army, and at the same time let the soldiers of the two towns recover a little bit of strength so that they could devote themselves to the upcoming battle.

After the soldiers of the two towns were arrayed, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led their troops forward and drove straight to the Japanese camp three miles to the north.

I saw that the soldiers of the Ming army in the two towns took more than 200 artillery pieces of various types as the pioneers, followed by the horizontal formation of birds and the large array of infantry, preparing to directly attack the Japanese camp from all sides and end the battle before dawn.

However, when Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led 80,000 soldiers to rush to the outside of the Japanese barracks, they found that the Japanese barracks were unexpectedly dark, and there was not even a single figure when observed from outside the barracks, and the entire Japanese barracks looked like an empty barracks.

Li Dingguo couldn't help frowning when he saw this, but Ai Nengqi next to him couldn't hold his breath, and immediately said, "Big brother! The Japanese ran away! ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "It seems that the Japanese army general rushed here before us and took away tens of thousands of Japanese troops here." ”

"Big brother, then let's hurry up and chase after it!"

"Chase?"

Li Dingguo pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "Let's go and have a look first!" ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo ordered more than 7,000 soldiers of the first battalion of Liaonan Town to rush into the Japanese camp, and after inspecting and making sure that there were no ambushes, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi led the main army into the Japanese camp.

After that, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi looked around in the camp and found that the Japanese camp was very chaotic, as if the Japanese army was very panicked when they left, and they abandoned a lot of materials on the spot when they left.

After looking at it, Ai Nengqi said to Li Dingguo suspiciously: "Big brother, why do I look at this scene so familiar?" ”

"Of course it's familiar! Didn't we use this method to lure the Japanese army south to divide our troops? ”

Ai Nengqi laughed dumbly when he heard this, and said: "It seems that I really underestimated this Japanese commander, when he was defeated and retreated, he even wanted to beat us, what a character!" ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said: "So, when leading the army into battle, no matter how unbearable our opponent is, we must not take it lightly, I don't know when we will meet a capable person!" ”

Ai Nengqi nodded yes, and then asked, "Big brother, what should we do now?" ”

"Send the night to notify the Iron Cavalry to withdraw immediately! Let's set up camp here, and then make a decision after we detect the movements of the Japanese army at night! ”

That night, seeing that the night was about to pass, the temperature on the plains was getting colder and colder.

Just north of the camp garrisoned by the Ming army, the 70,000 Japanese troops who had been assembled were ambushing in a dense forest.

The Japanese army commander Sakai Tadaji and his generals Honda Tadakatsu and Watanabe Hanzo stared at the dark wilderness to the south, hoping to see the Ming army following and killing, but there was no movement in the wilderness.

"Order, withdraw the troops!"

"General?"

"General, let's wait!"

Sakai Tadaji, the commander of the Japanese army, shook his head, looked very lonely, and said: "Our strategy must have been known to the Ming army, otherwise the Ming army would have arrived here by now." Withdraw, first go back to the camp in the north to let the army rest and recuperate, and tomorrow we will retreat north! ”
