When Tokugawa Hidetada arrived at this time, he did not understand the critical situation, so he immediately ordered the siege to be stopped, and the whole army immediately switched from offensive to gesture.

Except for sending a team of men and horses to monitor the defenders of Baekje Wangjing, the rest of the men and horses were divided into three directions, corresponding to the Ming army attacking from three directions, and Tokugawa Hidetada led his headquarters to sit in the middle army.

Because there was no such plan to be surrounded by the Ming army before, there was no excavation and construction of fortifications for the defensive array on the positions of the Fuso army. At this time, in a hurry, the soldiers could only be ordered to put the pointed horses in front of the battle, and at the same time desperately dig trenches, and pile the excavated soil in front of them to form a low wall, which plays a certain defensive role.

As for the others, there was no time to arrange traps and the like, and the Ming army swarmed from three directions, although the speed was not fast, but it was not slow, and it maintained a stable situation and pressed towards the Fusang army.

Although Tokugawa Hidetada had the intention to take the initiative to break the siege of the Ming army, he thought of Yoshino and Mamoru Ueno, whose fate is still unknown, and thousands of Fuso samurai, as well as the thousands of samurai he sent out to meet them.

Before the official start of the war, tens of thousands of troops had already been lost, which shows that the Ming army came this time with the real main force.

He finally realized now that all the previous Ming troops were in doubt, and their main force was simply lying in ambush behind him, waiting to give him a fatal blow at any time.

But by this time, it was obviously a little late.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt remorse and pain in his heart, knowing that he definitely underestimated Da Ming this time.

Although Fusang is not the previous Fusang, but the Ming is not the same Ming.

At this time, if you take the initiative to fight, it is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, it is better to use the terrain advantage to fight a defensive formation, and maybe there is a turnaround.

In fact, the main force of the attack was not really the main force, but only three divisions of the National Guard.

According to the establishment, each National Guard division is about 10,000 people, and even if you add some civilians who are responsible for transporting heavy grain and grass, each division will not exceed 15,000 people.

At this time, the army of Fusang under the capital of the king of Baekje was 100,000 people.

If we compare the strength of troops, the Ming army is at an absolute disadvantage. And none of these National Guards have a lot of combat experience, except for officers and backbones, most of the soldiers are new recruits.

Strategically speaking, Ran Wu and the Liaodong Theater did not take the 150,000 Fusang army too seriously at all, and the current troops sent are all second-line troops, and they are typical of being outnumbered.

Their confidence in daring to do so is naturally based on judging and weighing the true combat strength of both sides.

Although the Fuso army is now equipped with a lot of firearms, their mainstream weapons are still cold weapons, and their combat methods still retain the habit of liking melee combat in the past.

As we all know, the katana forged by the Fuso people is very sharp, and they can often cut people and weapons in two, and they have a great advantage in close combat.

In the past, when the Japanese were rampant, the Ming army was killed by the sharp katana of the Japanese and lost their armor, and their morale was completely lost, and even the absurd phenomenon of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers wielding swords to chase and kill thousands of Ming soldiers was staged.

It wasn't until later that General Qi Jiguang invented the Mandarin Duck Array to restrain the long knife of the Japanese Invaders, and he began to reverse the decline.

Coupled with the so-called katana spirit that the Fuso people admire, the Fuso army preferred to use white-knuckle combat to crush the enemy.

However, although the founding ideology of the Wehrmacht also pays attention to training and training soldiers to dare to fight with a white knuckle, it will only use white-knuckle combat when necessary, and generally when it is not necessary, it is emphasized to use superior weapons to destroy the enemy remotely, until the enemy collapses and then charge and fight.

In Jiang Chuan's thinking on army building, he is people-oriented and regards soldiers as the most valuable wealth of the army. If the weapon is damaged, it can be rebuilt, but if the experienced soldier is lost, it is really lost, and it cannot be reborn.

This is very similar to the American troops in later generations, before the battle first called for artillery support, no matter what the situation, first use powerful and dense artillery to ravage the enemy's position.

Of course, this kind of operational thinking is also based on a strong defense industrial system.

If it were someone else, it would never have been possible. However, Egawa was able to do it with the support of the fortress base, which was unthinkable in Tokugawa's Hidetada's view.

So this is also doomed to his inevitable failure.

If Tokugawa Hidetada had mobilized his entire army at this time and had taken the initiative to attack, he would have had a chance of victory if he had met the battle with the white-knuckle warfare that the Fuso army was good at.

After all, most of the training of these soldiers of the National Guard is shooting training, and they not only lack training for cold weapon fighting, but also are not prepared in terms of fighting will and fighting psychology, and it is very likely that they will not be able to parry the white-knuckle battle of the Fuso army.

After all, the muskets in their hands were not automatic rifles or submachine guns of later generations, and they did not play much role in white-knuckle warfare.

It's a pity that Tokugawa Hidetada has been frightened by the previous defeat at this time, and he doesn't have the courage to take the initiative at all, so he lost the last chance to turn defeat into victory.

The Sanlu Ming Army was still advancing in an orderly manner, as if it didn't care at all about the Fusang Army's frantic digging of fortifications.

In fact, they really don't care.

This kind of improvised fortifications for earthmoving work will be destroyed very quickly under the powerful artillery fire, and it is nothing more than a waste of some shells. For the Wehrmacht, there were more shells.

As long as it is not a permanent or semi-permanent fortification of reinforced concrete of later generations, the others are not much different.

Finally, the three Ming armies that were slowly approaching stopped a mile away from the Fusang army's main formation and began to slowly line up.

It is said that the formation is actually a simple riflemen in front, artillery in the back, and cavalry guarding the two wings, there is nothing special about it.

At this time, the Fuso army also stopped digging fortifications, and all entered the position, concentrating.

The air suddenly became solemn and solemn, and everyone could feel a powerful killing aura filling the surrounding space.

Tokugawa Hidenaka looked nervously at the Ming army position opposite, he didn't understand why the Ming army suddenly stopped, didn't they plan to attack?

In his impression, the Ming army should have been infantry with huge shields to cover the archers behind and then slowly advance to the place where the enemy formation was one arrow away, and then the archers on both sides went back and forth, first shooting each other with bows and arrows to disrupt the opponent's position.

Then take advantage of the unstable position of the opponent, the infantry will come forward to fight, and the cavalry will sweep the formation from the side.

But the situation in front of him made him unable to understand.

Did the Ming army want to shoot with muskets from a mile away? That's too funny, isn't it, their muskets are not cannons, how can they shoot so far?

Is it to use cannons? But he didn't see the legendary fearsome red-coated cannon from the clairvoyant mirror.

Just when Tokugawa Hidetada was at a loss, there was a loud bang on the Ming army position opposite, and a cannonball fell from the sky with a whistling whistle, landing more than ten meters away from the front of the Fuso army's trench, blowing up a pile of debris, attracting a burst of ridicule from the Fuso soldiers hiding in the trench.

They didn't know that it was the enemy who was testing the firing and used it to calibrate and adjust the firing angle of the artillery.

A moment later, behind the position of the Ming army, dozens of loud noises were heard in a row, and dozens of shells swept through the sky, accurately smashing into the trench that the Fusang army had just dug.

Dirt splashed, severed arms and stumps flew up in the air with blood, and the war officially began.
