Chapter 664: Storming Chima Pass

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

After the Japanese army discovered the Song army and the Yuan army, they sent people to report to Hojo Soyori. Hojo Soyori was not far from here, and when he heard the news, he was shocked and immediately summoned heavy troops to come for reinforcements.

When the artillery and return artillery were transported to the position, the Japanese troops who came to assemble on the order of Hojo Soyori also arrived roughly together, with a total of more than 40,000 people guarding behind the fortifications less than five miles, with swords and guns like a forest, layer upon layer, with high morale, ready to fight the enemy at any time!

If it had been more than a year ago, the generals would have been at a loss in the face of this fortification and the tight defense of the Japanese army, but just over a year later, all the generals were confident and disdainful of the enemy in front of them.

Angier ordered the hot air balloon to be raised to observe the Japanese army's armament and terrain.

When the hot air balloon rose into the sky, all the Japanese soldiers were so frightened that many Japanese soldiers even fell to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads!

Hojo Soyori watched in amazement as the huge hot air balloon hung steadily in the sky, with two Song soldiers pointing at his position, almost thinking that he was dreaming! I didn't expect that the so-called balloons that can fly into the sky are not exaggerated, but true!

The results of the measurements on the balloon were quickly sent to the ground, according to which the artillery adjusted the range and direction accordingly, and the Angier redistributed the forces.

Song Du Muda and other generals of the Yuan army and Fujian soldiers and horses were all amazed when they saw it.

The Japanese saw hundreds of guns of various sizes being pushed into the distance, and in the near distance were hundreds of huge return guns, with the range of their bows and arrows and some rudimentary cot crossbows. Can't shoot at all!

It's not that the generals of the Japanese army have never seen trebuchets. But this is the first time I have seen such a huge and sophisticated one. As for artillery, I've only heard of it. None of the Japanese troops guarding Chima Pass had any experience of fighting the Mongols, and it was not clear how powerful those black holes were in the pipes.

The whole army was busy for a long time, all the return guns were loaded with bombs, the artillery was loaded, and the 120,000-strong army also had an overwhelming advantage over the more than 40,000 Japanese troops in front of them.

Angel smiled and shouted, "Return the cannon fire!" ”

Hundreds of return guns raised their long arms in unison and released bombs in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. There are thousands of them!

The Japanese army thought that it was a stone thrown over, but they didn't care, seeing that the bomb was not big, and some people laughed at the incompetence of the Song army in their hearts, what was the use of launching these small stones? You can block it with a board!

The formation of the defenders of Chima Pass did not move, and they did not dodge.

The bomb crossed the fortifications and fell into the dense Japanese formation, and the fuse burned "with a snort", no matter how stupid the Japanese army was, they could understand that this was not a stone!

Song Bing on the hot air balloon saw it most clearly. Thousands of bombs exploded almost simultaneously. Thousands of flashes of light appeared in the Japanese formation in an instant, and the sound of "booming" explosions was deafening. The severed limbs and stumps flew into the sky, screams, exclamations, and frightened neighs of horses one after another.

The Japanese army is in chaos! Driven by the incomparable panic and the will to survive, the lucky ones who were not affected fled frantically and trampled on each other, which multiplied the casualties of the Japanese army!

Angier, of course, was not going to stop there, and soon, the second wave of bombs came again!

Before the explosion, the wails of the Japanese army in extreme fear were heard to laugh loudly of the Song and Yuan armies. The explosion seemed to become the most beautiful music in the world, and the Song and Yuan armies cheered. It's a pity that they can't see the situation behind the defense base yet, otherwise they would be happier.

After Angier threw three bombs, he got the news that the hot air balloon had come up, and the Japanese troops behind the fortification suffered countless casualties, and all the living ones fled to the distance, and they were already in a crush!

Angel laughed and ordered: "Artillery bombardment!" ”

Hundreds of guns were divided into two parts, one part fired shells into the distance to chase and kill the fleeing Japanese troops, and the other part concentrated on bombarding a few defensive bases that were blocking in front, and forcibly tore a few gaps in the defensive barriers, and Angier immediately sent people to clear the road.

Nang Jia looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, and said with his mouth open: "The prince has such a sharp weapon, who in the world can stop it?" ”

Song Du Muda smiled bitterly: "What else does the prince want us to do?" Are we not wasted? ”

You Xian said: "This is wrong, how can it be useless for the prince to train his troops strictly?" In the end, it can only be us! ”

Huaidu sighed: "In terms of siege alone, the prince is invincible, and we are far behind!" ”

Copying Chi said enviously: "It's really fun to fight like this, we haven't started yet, and the opponent has already been defeated!" The prince's methods are really invincible in the world. ”

At this time, Angier had already turned around and ordered loudly to the five generals: "Nangjia, You Xian, Huaidu, Song Du Muda, and Zhao'er Chi, you immediately lead the army to rush in from the gap, chase and kill all the way, and act at the opportunity!" ”

The five of them were in high spirits and saluted together: "Yes!" ”

50,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed through the gap like a tide, and pursued the Japanese army along the way non-stop, and the largest number of routs were killed! It's a pity that because the terrain is not familiar, I don't dare to go too deep, and there are too many routs, but there are still many routs who can escape, and Hojo Soyori doesn't know where to go.

Having defeated the main force of Chima Pass, Angel led his army to fight the defenders of the rest of Chima Pass for another three days, and finally succeeded in capturing Chima Pass. Then he sent his generals to attack separately and clear the road to Kyoto for Cheng Yue.

The navy led by Xie Ruji and Liu Shiyong did not wait for Angier to obtain the Red Horse Pass, and directly invaded the Seto Inland Sea on a large scale, and fought fierce battles with the naval forces of the Matsuura Party and other Japanese princes one after another, and won successive battles. Sun Huchen, who cooperated with them in the attack, led the Marines to vigorously sweep the shores on both sides of the Seto Inland Sea, ensuring that Cheng Yue did not have to command another landing operation.

After Liu Shun's navy went north in the name of Cheng Yue, he also soon entered the Seto Inland Sea, took over Xie Ruji and Liu Shiyong, and continued to clear the remnants of the Japanese navy in the Seto Inland Sea. After opening up the Seto Inland Sea, Liu Shun would bypass the coast of Honshu and threaten Kyoto from the sea, making it difficult for the emperor to flee and going north at any time. Xie Ruji and Liu Shiyong stayed at the ferry, waiting for Cheng Yue to lead the army.

Cheng Yue listened to them talk about the general process of the Battle of Chima Pass, and asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Xie Ruji said: "Back to the prince, the casualties are minimal, all the way here, even the slightly injured are less than a thousand people, it can be described as overwhelming!" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "It's not bad." ”

Liu Shiyong said: "Lord Wang, do you want the army to cross the sea immediately?" The subordinates are ready on the other side. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Without further ado, the Japanese may cause us trouble at any time, let's start." ”

Xie Ruji and Liu Shiyong saluted: "Yes!" ”

Cheng Yue gave an order, and the army crossed the sea again, and countless ships of all kinds on the sea dazzled the new annexed army, and had a new understanding of the difference in national strength between Japan and the Great Song Dynasty.
