Chapter 625: The Price
After Lin Biao paid twelve small boats, he finally lured the Japanese army to the dock. The Japanese army did not seem to care whether there was an ambush at all, and landed directly as soon as the ship docked.
Groups of Japanese warriors disembarked from the ship, as did the musket corps, samurai, cavalry, and artillery at the rear.
Su Can and the others had already laid an ambush, just waiting for all the Japanese to come ashore, they didn't want to fight with the Japanese at sea, except that their own strength at sea was not as good as the Japanese invaders.
In fact, they also took a fancy to the warships of the Japanese Invaders, fifty is not a small number, or they can't use it themselves, and it is a windfall to sell it.
Naturally, such fat cannot be destroyed, and must be taken down with all our might. This led to the Yejiazhuang army to let the Japanese invaders land on the dock so calmly.
It took an hour for all the Japanese to go ashore, and the entire dock of Nuoda was completely occupied. The musketeers began to expand outward, then the cavalry followed, but the infantry fell last.
The 150,000 Yejiazhuang army was already waiting in formation outside the dock, and the two sides soon formed a confrontation.
Neiban Nobita commanded the whole army, and he soon saw the enemy army against him, and his mind began to be restless, after all, there were as many as 150,000 Yejiazhuang troops, all of which were lined up in the open space outside the dock, and there was no end in sight.
The Japanese army claims to have 100,000, but in fact there are less than 70,000, and the real Japanese army is less than 50,000, and the rest are all requisitioned in the provincial capital, and these people are usually used as cannon fodder when attacking the city.
Yejiazhuang's army directly put on a posture to have a scuffle, and such an abrupt approach directly surprised him. In his mind, the Yejiazhuang army would inevitably use the advantages of its own city to defend.
However, at this moment, when he saw that it was indeed a fight that was about to start directly, Nobita Neiban's face was iron-blue, and he understood that he had underestimated the strength of Yejiazhuang's army.
It was a wrong decision to go ashore in such a hurry now, but there was no regret medicine to take, and if you wanted to return to the ship now, you would inevitably be chased and killed by the Yejiazhuang army.
There is nothing to hesitate about, the two sides have no way out at the moment except to fight.
Nobita Uchiban ordered the musketeers to attack, then the cavalry followed, while the rest of the infantry reared.
Su Can also ordered the musketeers to attack, but the musketeers of the Yejiazhuang army had sword and shield hands in front of them, and the sword and shield hands holding iron shields were at the front.
The musketeers hid behind them and fired, and as soon as the guns rang out, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, while the casualties of the Yejiazhuang army were less than half of the opponent's.
Nobita immediately couldn't sit still, and he desperately ordered the cavalry to press up. There were 10,000 cavalry, riding horses and galloping with amazing momentum.
However, Su Can had a sneer on his face, and he immediately sent a battalion of pikemen, and the four-meter spear was specially used to deal with the cavalry.
The five thousand men of the pike-battalion stayed behind the sword-and-shield men, mixed with the soldiers of the musket battalion.
When the cavalry of the Japanese army rushed in, they were immediately attacked by the musket battalion, and countless Japanese cavalry who had not yet rushed to the position of the Yejiazhuang army died on the way.
And in the back, the cavalry who escaped the rain of bullets and survived were still stabbed to death by the spearmen erected by the pikemen.
The 10,000 pirate cavalry were wiped out almost instantly, and the rest were less than 1,000 horsemen, who turned their horses around and ran back. However, Su Can didn't want them to escape easily, and the sword and shield men and the soldiers of the two battalions behind them began to advance steadily.
The soldiers of the musket battalion began to shoot mercilessly at the fleeing Japanese cavalry, and the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the horse's head. The billowing black smoke reached the sky, and if it weren't for the strong wind at the dock, it is estimated that the black smoke would have covered the entire pier.
"Boom!"
A cannon sound suddenly exploded over the pier, and Nobita Neiban saw that the situation was not good, and immediately sent artillery to bombard the Yejiazhuang army, which was steadily advancing, with artillery.
After the first cannon sounded, dozens of artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and Yejiazhuang's army was suddenly in dire straits. In particular, the sword and shield bearers in the front row suffered particularly heavy casualties.
The sergeant facing the muzzle of the gun was directly plowed out of a blood groove by the cannonball's shell, and the dense formation made the solid bullet, which was not very powerful, exert its extraordinary power.
Su Can was shocked, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the spear battalion, then ordered the formation to be expanded, and finally ordered the two hundred cannons that had been placed high around the dock to open fire.
The Yejiazhuang army was shot at shots, and the two hundred artillery pieces opened fire in unison shortly after Su Can's order was issued. The sound of the cannon shook the earth in an instant, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
Everyone clearly felt that the whole earth was shaking, and then the sound of cannons like muffled thunder rang out one after another. Two hundred scattered shells exploded in the midst of the Japanese army.
Countless pirates were swept away, and screams and roars filled the sky over the entire dock.
At this point, the Japanese army immediately fell into chaos, and at this moment, Lin Biao led the pirate army to attack the Japanese army from behind.
Su Can also ordered the whole army to attack, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder rose into the sky, and the cavalry of Yejiazhuang's army took the lead in killing the Japanese army.
The long saber ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Japanese army, and the hooves of the war horses ruthlessly trampled on the Japanese soldiers. After the cavalry, the infantry followed, and the entire dock instantly became a battlefield and a hell on earth.
A massacre began, and the merciless slaughter continued, and both sides were completely red-eyed until this moment. If someone is frightened, it means death.
So no one dares to retreat, in the eyes of all the fighting sides, there is only rushing, only keep rushing forward, keep swinging the knife and slashing, and in the end you can survive.
In the chaotic battlefield of nearly 300,000 people, the generals on both sides are no longer able to command, and now only the bravery of their respective soldiers remains.
The confrontation between the two armies and the brave wins, which is the truest portrayal at this moment. In a scuffle like now, no conspiracy or conspiracy will work, the only thing needed is courage.
Yejiazhuang was shrouded in a tense atmosphere at the moment, and the fighting on the dock affected everyone's hearts. If you don't come to the scene in person, you can't imagine how tragic the fight was, but it is even more terrifying.
A scuffle like this could have been completely avoided, but Ye Shaolong felt that it was necessary to show the strength of the Ye Jiazhuang army.
Only by showing the world the power of Yejiazhuang, those who are red-eyed in Xiangjiang in the future, if they still want to fight Xiangjiang's idea, then they must need to weigh their own strength.
The Japanese army is a good opportunity, and it is a good time for the Yejiazhuang army to show itself. And when Ye Shaolong decided to do this, he was already mentally prepared for the great casualties of the soldiers. 1.
