Chapter 494: Lanshan Ambush (3)
Run, run! When attacking the Qing army's position outside Uji City, the samurai under the command of Uemura Makoto were all taught the powerful lethality of machine guns, and this time they heard that the machine guns were firing, and everyone immediately turned around and fled with reflexes, even Uemura Seitaka was no exception, no matter how heavy the casualties of their own forwards were, they fled to the main formation one by one.
"Yaga! A bunch of rubbish! ”
Tokugawa and his entourage didn't expect Uemura Seitaka to defeat the enemy in one battle, but they didn't expect Uemura Seitaka to be so vulnerable.
"My lord, I'm afraid that I can't open the situation if I rush so hard, *** people are cowering in the mountain pass, and our army's superior forces cannot be deployed, if you rush up, you will only be a target for *** people, and no matter how many people there are, it will not help."
Tokugawa Katsuyo is worthy of being the commander of the Black Flag Army, the strongest combat power in the Edo Army, and he saw at a glance what the intention of the Qing army was so arranged.
"So what do you say you should do, huh?"
The reason why Tokugawa and his entourage were able to become the main generals of the former army, in fact, did not rely on martial arts, but their status as the old man of the Tokugawa family, really talked about strategy and tactics, in fact, it was just a half-hanger, in previous years, they also conscripted the name of the disobedient, but it was all relied on the superior forces to eat, although there were a lot of achievements, but to say that the gold content, but it was really not high, once it met the hard bones of the Qing army, it was inevitable that it would be a little blind, and this time was on fire, this heard Tokugawa Katsuyong so advance, his face was very ugly, He scolded angrily.
"My lord, looking at the posture of *** people, there will be no soldiers with them, and now if you want to open the passage as soon as possible, you can only use the strength of the army to suppress it!"
Tokugawa Katsuyo's observation is obviously very keen, although Uemura Seitaka's department was defeated in a battle, but Tokugawa Katsuyo saw some clues, and he was afraid that Tokugawa and his party would make a stupid move, in case the Black Flag Army was allowed to do such a hard thing, then the fun would really be great, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he cautiously suggested a sentence.
"Well, come here, go to the general, just say that *** people are guarding according to danger, our department is in a hurry and it is difficult to win, please send the general to come to support!"
Tokugawa and his entourage were extremely afraid of the strong firepower of the Qing army, and they didn't want to use the lives of their soldiers to fill the bottomless pit.
"My lord, look, the cannons of the dogs are coming up!"
The Japanese army did not attack, the Qing army was naturally happy to be idle, came out to leave a few sentries on guard, the rest of the people were leaning on the trenches to seize the time to rest, but it was a pity that this rare leisure did not last too long, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a noise in the Japanese army on the opposite side suddenly became loud, a cannon from the rear of the formation, as soon as they saw this, the Qing army lookout sentries did not dare to be careless, and they were busy shouting loudly.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard the sentry report like this, Tashan didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stood up, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the gathering place of the Japanese army three hundred steps away, not only did not panic, but grinned, but he didn't dare to be careless, and without waiting for the Japanese army to push the gun carriage into place, Tashan had already raised his hand and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
Although there are a lot of artillery pieces in the Japanese country, they are all old-style artillery, and it takes a lot of time just to fiddle with the gun mount, not to mention aiming and loading.
"Yaga, damn *** man! Chase me, chase them, kill them all! ”
Tokugawa and his entourage finally looked forward to their own artillery, and they could give the Qing army a hard blow, but they didn't expect the Qing army to slip away like this, and there was really a sense of depression that hit the empty place with a punch, and they wanted to pursue, and their own soldiers were blocking the road, not to mention that the cavalry could not be launched, and even the infantry was difficult to pass smoothly, and they were so angry that they screamed.
Pursue? Naturally, it was impossible to catch up, and when the Japanese soldiers hurriedly moved the passage, the Qing army had already run away, and under such a delay, the Chinese army brigade that was originally lagging behind also arrived, and more than 100,000 troops were crowded at the mountain pass in such a chaotic manner, and it took another two quarters of an hour for the whole army alone.
"Report, General, the *** person who fled before is the remnants of the original Uji Castle, and there are several remnant flags left at the scene, please show the General."
Tokugawa Yoshimune also rushed to the mountain pass with a large group of men and horses, but he did not dare to enter the mountain pass easily, but first sorted out the army outside the mountain pass, and just thought about ordering the front army to enter the valley to explore the way, but saw a small flag rushing to the front of the horse, and displayed several broken flags rolled up in front of Tokugawa Yoshimune's horse.
"Oh?"
As soon as he heard the little flag say this, Tokugawa Yoshimune's brows couldn't help frowning, he reached out and took a side, looked at it carefully, then looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth, and ordered in a loud voice: "Order: The whole army speeds up and passes through the mountain road!" ”
"General, the mountain road is not wide, you have to be careful that *** people have an ambush, and the last general asks for orders to take the first step to explore the truth."
As soon as Tokugawa Yoshimune said this, Tokugawa Katsuyo couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly suggested a sentence from the side.
"It doesn't matter, *** people are making a mystery, nothing more than not wanting our army to enter the army as soon as possible, this is the end of the time, if our army is delayed, I am afraid that we will have to spend the night in the mountains, if so, it will be the trick of *** people, now, when you have to pass through the mountains as soon as possible, well, what Shengyong said is also reasonable, so good, immediately lead the cavalry of the headquarters as the vanguard, all the way to the hurry, if you encounter an ambush by *** people, do not fall in love with the war, just retreat first."
Although Tokugawa Yoshimune was full of confidence in his own judgment, he did not refuse Tokugawa Katsuyo's proposal, and in his mind, the cavalry rushed into the valley at high speed, and if the Qing army had an ambush, it would be difficult to hide from the reconnaissance of his own cavalry.
"Hay!"
Tokugawa Katsuyo shouted a loud answer, and then the horses returned to their camp, and at the sound of the order, five hundred black-clad and black-armored cavalry immediately rode their horses one after another, rushed into the mountain pass like a tide, and rushed all the way down the still spacious avenue to the depths of the valley.
"One line, the person who takes you will go first, and Ben will follow!"
Tokugawa Katsuyoshi set out for about a quarter of an hour, and did not see anything wrong in the valley, and the doubts that Tokugawa Yoshimune had in his heart disappeared, and without further hesitation, he issued the order to march, and after a while, the trumpets sounded in the sky, and a group of Japanese samurai began to move forward, and entered the valley with a rapid march.
The mountain of Lanshan is steep in the east and gentle in the west, but the valley does not appear narrow, although it is crooked, but the width is rarely below thirty steps, even if it is the narrowest place, it is enough for ten horses to go in parallel, for the Japanese army in the rapid march, it is very convenient, less than an hour, it has been walked more than ten miles, and has not encountered the slightest trouble, the cavalry in front of the road exploration has even been almost out of the valley, the same has not seen the ambush of the Qing army, at this time, the tense nerves of the Japanese officers and soldiers have been completely relaxed, there is no side, The mountains on both sides of the valley have gradually calmed down, and even if there are ambushes, there is no need to worry.
"Let's go!"
Not to worry about? This is just the self-righteous idea of the Japanese officers and soldiers, just when most of the Japanese officers and soldiers walked out of the steep cliff area, a broken drink suddenly exploded on the high slope dozens of steps away from the road, and before the Japanese officers and soldiers could figure out what was going on, the change happened!
"Boom, boom......"
In a succession of several loud noises, the position of the steep slope where the Japanese rear army was located suddenly collapsed, the rocks were vacated, the dust was splashed, and a huge amount of mudslides poured down, which instantly submerged the Japanese rearguard troops under it, and then, the artillery on both sides of the Chinese army rumbled and sounded, more than 100 flowering bullets crossed the air, and smashed into the chaotic army like an overwhelming man, and the violent explosion sounded into one, and countless shrapnel flew sideways, blowing up the overwhelmed Japanese officers and soldiers into a ghost crying wolf.
"Boom, boom......"
Just when the Japanese army was in chaos, the place where the former army was suddenly sounded a fierce explosion, and the few steep slopes collapsed again, and the mud and rocks fell, and the front army of the Japanese army was cut into two in an instant, so far, nearly 100,000 people of the Japanese army have been trapped in the valley, one by one like headless flies scurrying around, trying to find a way to escape.
"Call me!"
"Fire!"
……
Obviously, there is no way to escape, the Qing army has long been ambushed in the Lanshan Mountain, but it is not in the front of the hilly area, but all of them are ambushed on the anticline, like such an open place, the Japanese army will not have the heart of vigilance, after all, at a glance, nothing can be hidden on the gentle slope of the withered grass and trees, and no one will think that there is any ambush here, but the Qing army has set up an ambush in such a place that is not suitable for ambush, and before the Japanese army can react, the commanders of the Qing army on all fronts have roared in unisonIn an instant, countless bullets shot out, sweeping down countless Japanese officers and soldiers who had fled to both sides, and the entire battlefield was already in chaos. "Baga, steady, steady, don't mess up!" Tokugawa Yoshimune arrived at this time, only to understand the true intention of the Qing army's resistance, there is nothing else, but to induce the shogunate army to enter the ambush circle, there is no doubt that the ambush here is the main force of the Qing army, in the face of the almost inevitable defeat situation, Tokugawa Yoshimune's heart has sunk to the bottom, but still refuses to admit defeat, desperately roaring, trying to gather the army, in order to fight to the death with the Qing army.
