Chapter 1019: Taking Hiroshima (1)

（1019）

[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

"Yaga!"

.

"Yaga!"

Abe Yuki couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

The reason for the curse of the chief Masatsushi is that the weapons of the Tiger Ben Army are too powerful. These weapons of the Tiger Ben Army are really too fatal. No matter how brave his subordinates are, after rushing up, there is only one dead word. As long as these weapons of the Tiger Ben Army have not been consumed, he will have no way to get close to the other party at all.

However, will these weapons of the Tiger Ben Army be consumed? Masatsushi Chiefzaki expressed a high degree of skepticism. He was very worried that if the battle continued like this, the Tiger Ben's powerful weapons had not been consumed, and his troops would be completely wiped out. He had a lot of thoughts going through his mind, searching for dry intestines, trying to find a way to crack these weapons, but he found nothing. He had no idea what this weapon of mass murder was.

However, if Chiefzaki Masatsushi stopped attacking like this, he was not reconciled. After the defeat of Maeda Ryota, there has always been a very strong sense of revenge within the Tokugawa shogunate, and everyone wants to teach the tiger army a hard lesson, and teach the thief leader named Zhang Zhun a lesson. If anyone defeats the Tiger Ben Army and defeats Zhang Zhun, he will definitely be supported by countless people.

In addition, substantial benefits are also within reach. Ryota Maeda has retired home to recuperate, and his position as "elder" will be vacated sooner or later. Whoever can make meritorious achievements and stand out at this critical time will be most likely to become the new "big elder". Tokugawa Iemitsu seems to have tasted the pleasure of women since he met Awan, and he rarely asks about ordinary political affairs. In other words, this elder is the real ruler of the shogunate. What a supreme honor!

Is the chief just jealous of this big old position? Of course! He dreamed of getting the position. It's just that Ryota Maeda's prestige is still there before, and others have no chance to replace him at all. Now, the opportunity was in front of him. As long as Zhang Zhun is defeated and the Tiger Ben Army is defeated, he is very likely to become the new elder. In the face of such a hot opportunity, how can Masashi Chiefzaki be willing to give up?

"Hit!"

"Hit hard!"

Chieftain was just gritting his teeth and shouting at everyone around him.

Under his fierce shouting, more Japanese soldiers rushed forward like ants.

"This idiot!"

"What a complete idiot!"

Seeing Masatsushi Chiefzaki's crazy behavior, Yuki Abe couldn't help but mumble to himself.

This chieftain is just crazy. He simply ignored the existence of the Tiger Army's big killer weapon! Just now, the object of Abe's curse was Masaoshi Chieftachi, a guy with a tendon in his brain. Knowing that the weapons of the Tiger Ben Army are so powerful, but still constantly sending the troops forward, isn't this suicide? You must know that the subordinates of the chieftain Masago have the best to prepare anything! As a result, they were all killed by the Tiger Ben Army in vain.

"What an idiot!"

"An idiot who hasn't met in a thousand years!"

Yuki Abe couldn't help but say fiercely in his heart.

He couldn't figure out why Masago Chiefizaki was doing this. He simply wished that his subordinates were all gone. It feels as if he has a grudge against Tokugawa Iemitsu, as if he wants to defeat all the elites of Tokugawa Iemitsu. However, on the surface, Abe Yuki did not dare to show it. Because, his status in the Tokugawa shogunate was not as good as that of Masatoshi Chiefzaki. Once the two quarrel, the one who suffers will definitely be Yuki Abe.

"Forget it......"

Yuki Abe subconsciously shook his head.

Anyway, what the chieftain Masashi just lost was also the shogunate's army, and it had nothing to do with him. He's still wise to keep a little bit of strength. The more people Masashi died in battle, the more severe the punishment was likely to be after the battle. If Chiefizaki had just lost power, he would have taken the opportunity to rise. Who doesn't envy the position and power of the elder?

So, in secret, Abe Yuki quietly relaxed the urging of his troops, even if some of his subordinates hesitated, Abe Yuki had no intention of punishing. As a result, his troops, the enthusiasm for the offensive, immediately slowed down. The pace of the troops' offensive was greatly slowed down. On the battlefield, the most fierce assaults, the most active impacts, and the most tragic deaths were all the subordinates of the chieftain.

Without Abe's frantic attack, the firepower of the Tiger Army naturally poured all over the heads of Chiefizaki Masatsu's subordinates. Li Yang's artillery battalion, as well as the flying thunder cannon behind, were all shrouded in the head of the chieftain's troops. As soon as it was tightened and loosened, the losses of the chieftain's troops were even more serious.

The entire battlefield is like a murderous meat grinder, as long as the Japanese army is swept in, there is no possibility of escape. The ground was densely packed with corpses, and there was not even a place to find a place to stay. In the rear of the Japanese army, as their supreme commander, he was brandishing his command knife with a hideous face, and shouted to them to move forward. In the face of Chiefizaki Masatsu's order, the Japanese troops behind had no choice but to rush up and send them to their deaths.

"These Japanese soldiers are simply crazy."

In the rear of the Tiger Army, Wang Junyu frowned and said.

From the perspective of the Tiger Army, the scene of the Japanese army's impact is indeed too profound. They are like moths that pounce on a fire. Groups threw themselves into the fire, and groups fell under the flames of the raging fire. However, the moths behind still had no intention of retreating at all, and continued to pounce on the fire. In almost every blink of an eye, it is estimated that several Japanese soldiers were killed under the guns of the Tiger Army. Such a casualty rate is simply terrifying.

"It's okay, they have people."

Wang Shide pursed his lips disapprovingly and said lightly.

The biggest difference between the Japanese army and the Tartars is that the Japanese army has a considerable number of people to support. Even if tens of thousands of people are annihilated, they can still make up for it. If the previous Tartars had been annihilated by tens of thousands of people, they would have no strength to resist. Of course, the previous Tiger Ben Army did not have such ferocious firepower as it does now, and it could inflict so much damage on the enemy in such a short period of time.

The army of the Tokugawa shogunate numbered hundreds of thousands, of which there were more than 100,000 elites. If they don't let them consume a little, how can they be willing to hand over the power in their hands? How could the Tiger Army control Japan's resources and markets? This battle must consume at least 20,000 of the main force of the Japanese army to be considered perfect.

"Guess how long the Japanese army can hold out?"

Wang Shide suddenly said to Wang Junyu.

"An hour."

Wang Junyu said uncertainly.

"Half an hour."

Wang Shide gave his own opinion.

"Half an hour?"

Wang Junyu raised the clairvoyant mirror suspiciously and looked at the battlefield carefully.

"That's right, the little devil lasts for half an hour at most. Such a casualty rate, even if the number of little devils is doubled, it can't be afforded. ”

Wang Shide said confidently.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the front-line troops of the Japanese army finally collapsed on the whole front. They were beaten to a crush by the ferocious firepower of the Tiger Army. Not only did the average soldier collapse, but even many officers collapsed. With such a brutal weapon and such heavy casualties, no matter how fierce an army can afford.

"Withdraw!"

The chief was just gritting his teeth and popping out two words.

The casualties of the troops were too heavy, and he couldn't do it if he wanted not to withdraw his troops. If he continues to fight, his 30,000 troops will all be wiped out. At this time, he felt the horror of failure. It was because of the defeat on Sado Island that Maeda Ryota was driven home by Tokugawa Iemitsu. If the news of his defeat reached Tokugawa Iemitsu......

"Shh

Chiefsaki Masatsuo hurriedly took a deep breath and cleared this terrible thought out of his mind. Tian Liangtai's strength in the past ended up like this, not to mention that he was strong. Tokugawa Iemitsu valued him entirely because he could fight. If he doesn't even have this ability, he will never have a chance to get ahead in the future.

"Withdraw your troops!"

Next to him, Abe Yuki sighed helplessly.

Even the troops of the chief Qi Zhenggang could not shake half of the Tiger Army, and he was naturally even more impossible. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity early and took timely action, so that the proportion of casualties in the troops was less than that of the troops of the chieftain. However, if it is a true battle report, it is expected to go to Tokugawa Iemitsu and remove him.

The power of the Tiger Army's guns is so huge, and there is also the help of the mysterious big killing weapon, all of which makes Abe Yuki feel a very headache. Thinking that in the near future, there will be more Tiger Ben troops landing in Japan, and Abe's head is as big as a pumpkin. Could it be that the Japanese army really has no way to deal with these tiger troops who came ashore?

That night, Abe Yuki took the initiative to come to Chiefizaki Masatsushi to discuss the future of the battle. As a result, he was shocked to find that Masatsushi Chiefizaki was actually a little incoherent. It seems that he has not fully recovered from the daytime fighting, or perhaps he has not yet been able to accept such a harsh reality. In desperation, Abe had no choice but to leave.

Night gradually fell, and the wilderness, which had been fiercely fought for a day, was completely calm. Faintly, it seems that the crow can be heard. However, in this season, there should be no crows. I'm afraid it's a human delusion. Perhaps, it was because there were too many people who were killed, and the souls were entangled with each other, and as a result, there was the cry of a crow.

The first day of fighting was over for the time being, but the commanders of the armies on both sides had no chance to calm down. On the Japanese side, it was necessary to count the troops, reduce the number of troops, and arrange a stronger defense around Hiroshima. The dream of a field battle with the Tiger Ben Army has failed. Next, they had to rely on the original fortifications of Hiroshima to hold on. At the same time, Abe Yuki sent someone to ask for help from the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, hoping that more troops would arrive for reinforcements.

On the other hand, the Tiger Ben Army summed up its lessons and prepared for tomorrow's battle. In order to make it easier for the follow-up troops to go ashore, they had to take Hiroshima as soon as possible. The daytime battle, although it consumed a lot of Japanese troops. However, due to the large number of Japanese soldiers, after a large number of people were killed and wounded, there were still a large number of them. They also had ready-made fortifications to rely on. Tomorrow's battle is expected to be very tough.

In the second half of the night, some of the numbers were roughly counted. The number of dead and wounded was about 200, and the number of wounded was about 600. The soldiers who died were mainly killed by Japanese shells. Tomorrow's attack will encounter more Japanese artillery. Therefore, Zhang Zhun demanded that the troops must be fully mentally prepared.

There is no way to count the number of dead and wounded of the Japanese army for the time being. The Tiger Ben Army did not have this time, nor did it have this possibility. The cavalry commander under the command of Hasqiqige went around the battlefield and came back to report that there were corpses everywhere, estimated to be at least tens of thousands.

"Tens of thousands of ......"

Zhang Zhun pondered the number.

This figure is obviously inaccurate. Zhang Zhun estimated that the number of Japanese casualties should be around 20,000. However, even though the Japanese suffered 20,000 casualties, they still had nearly 50,000 troops stationed around Hiroshima. If you want to gnaw down Hiroshima, it is obviously not feasible to rely on the army alone. Once attacked, the price that the army needs to pay will be considerable.

"Mr. Jiutai, I will leave it to you for the future war."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun said to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Don't dare to bear the trust of adults."

Lu Xiangsheng said enthusiastically.

With such a good start, it was only a matter of time before the Japanese were beaten. Now Lu Xiangsheng is already gearing up and ready to start a new attack.

The next day, the Tiger Army began to attack on its own initiative.

In the morning, as soon as the sun appeared over the horizon, the battle began.

Under the organization of Lu Xiangsheng, the various units of the Tiger Ben Army launched a siege on Hiroshima. They adopted the method of field artillery firing at close range, suppressing the fire of the tiger guns, and the demolition team stepped forward, and when necessary, dispatched the flying thunder artillery to attack the fortified position, and fought for the Japanese army inch by inch. For such a way of attacking, the Tiger Ben Army is already very skilled. After using it, the effect is quite significant. In one morning, the Tiger Ben army advanced three miles.

"Too much deception!"

Chieftain roared in exasperation.

These tiger soldiers are really too bullying. It is inconceivable that they with only more than 10,000 people dared to take the initiative to attack. However, the attack of the Tiger Army also made the Japanese army feel a little unsupportable, and the front line was defeated again and again.

In one morning, more than 4,000 Japanese defenders were forced out of their defensive positions and forced to retreat to the town of Hiroshima. Enraged, Masashi ordered the main commanders of these armies to be killed on the spot as an example.

The field artillery of the Tiger Ben Army is indeed very fierce and difficult to resist. The muskets of the Tiger Ben Army were also quite powerful, and the dense bullets made it impossible for the Japanese army to raise their heads at all. The flying thunder cannon and the explosion made the Japanese army even more frightened. Fortunately, the Japanese army was outnumbered and had fortifications around Hiroshima to rely on. Otherwise, it would have been defeated early in the morning.
