Seeing this large area, Wang Chaoyong laughed and said happily: "Commander-in-chief, this place is good!" ”

Zhang Feng nodded and said loudly: "This will be our temporary headquarters, let's go, everyone follow me in." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"A large group of people walked in, and the luxury and carved beams inside made everyone secretly speechless, if it wasn't for the fact that this place is full of Japanese style, everyone would have thought that they had walked into the Imperial Palace.

"Commander-in-chief, it can be seen that this Tokugawa family is quite rich." Dynasty bravery.

The Tokugawa family must have money, controlling all of Japan, and it is strange that there is no money. Zhang Feng nodded, thinking in his heart, it seems that he has made a fortune this time.

"Pass my order, all the valuable things here will be transported, all will be loaded onto the ship, and all will be transported back to Songjiang Mansion." Zhang Feng gave the order.

Zhang Feng never thought about it, and as soon as his order was issued, the soldiers began a carpet search, carried all the valuable things to the ship, and emptied all the Tokugawa family's belongings, and the soldiers began to loot all the belongings of the entire Edo Castle and put them all on the ship.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

The seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, which became the temporary headquarters of Zhang Feng, in the hall, a huge sand table gradually took shape under the busyness of a large number of staff officers, which was a miniature version of the terrain of the entire Edo area.

It was getting dark, and the hall was brightly lit, and Zhang Feng was making the next tactical arrangement. Entering Edo Castle is only the first step, and the next step will be a counterattack by a large number of Japanese troops.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had already fled, and Zhang Feng knew that there would definitely be a fierce battle behind, so Zhang Feng pointed to this huge warrior sand table and made a series of deployments.

A large number of soldiers began to leave the castle and deployed near the main passages to Edo, choosing favorable terrain to resist the Japanese counterattack, and all those who remained in Edo Castle left the castle except for the personnel of the 1st Infantry Division, the guard battalion, and the two infantry regiments.

It's dark.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who fled in a hurry, finally fled to a large military camp dozens of miles away from Edo Castle, where tens of thousands of Japanese troops were garrisoned.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the people here began to set off towards Edo Castle......

………

Northwest of Edo Castle, about ten miles from Edo Castle, there are several small hills, and under the slopes of the hills, an avenue leads to Edo, which is one of the only roads to Edo, and there are a large number of warriors who are busy here.

The fighters dug trenches, repaired fortifications, set up tents, etc., on the hills, on the slopes, and even beside the avenues, a large number of fires were lit, because it was night, there was no fire, and in order to shoot at the enemy in the distance, these fires were lit.

At the foot of the hill and on the avenue, there were a lot of horse-drawn carriages, and on the carriages, large wooden boxes were neatly placed one by one, and many soldiers were carefully removing these wooden boxes.

"Everyone be careful, handle it gently."

Someone reminded from the side, judging from the cautious appearance of the soldiers, these large wooden boxes were definitely not ammunition, but seemed to be something very dangerous.

On the hillside.

A colonel regiment commander looked into the distance, but because it was dark, he couldn't see very far, but he could vaguely see that the front seemed to be open, and the terrain was very flat.

That's right, except for a few hills here, and in the distance there is a flat, typical plain terrain, and the avenue stretches into the night, leading into the distance, and if the enemy is coming, it must be from a distance along the avenue.

Soon after.

Someone ran over quickly, climbed up the hillside, and reported loudly: "Commander, the enemy is coming, there are many of them, at least tens of thousands, and they are coming along the avenue, less than three miles away from us. ”

"Well, it's good to give them a taste of our new weapon." The colonel, without fear, shouted loudly and happily.

This is the first line of defense, and Zhang Feng's tactical plan is to configure in echelons and block in layers. Troops were deployed in several different directions at several points of passage to Edo Castle, usually a regiment or one or two battalions, to form the first line of defense.

After these infantry regiments, the distance is one or two miles, at most three or five miles, and then the second line of defense is deployed, and the number of troops on the second line of defense is significantly larger, and many soldiers are hurrying to build various fortifications.

After that, there was the third line of defense, which was basically deployed outside Edo Castle, and there were also a large number of warriors building various fortifications. If the first line of defense cannot be held, everyone retreats to the second line of defense. If the second line of defense is also not defended, then retreat to the third line of defense.

Hearing that the enemy was coming, and that there were tens of thousands, the colonel commander immediately conveyed an order to the soldiers to prepare for battle, and the soldiers took their positions, lying in the trenches, or behind various fortifications, with their guns in hand, looking into the distance.

Fortunately, many bonfires had already been lit in the distance, and it was not far away, and on the hillside, there were fires, and the entire battlefield was quiet with only the sound of fires burning.

Not long after, there was a movement in front of me, it should be the Japanese, looking at this movement, there must be a lot of people.

"Listen to my gunshot, as soon as my gunfire goes off, everyone shoots me." The colonel's regimental commander shouted loudly, a short gun in his hand.

These Japanese estimated that they had received an order to attack Edo Castle as soon as possible, so they relied on their large numbers of men and found that there were soldiers in front of them and had built fortifications, and these Japanese did not stop, and under the command of several Japanese generals, there was immediately a large-scale charge, with at least two or three thousand people.

With thick shields, katanas, and various weapons, these Japanese soldiers, under their command, screamed and rushed over.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Loud explosions came from afar, hearing such a violent explosion, many soldiers were so excited that they almost shouted, by the light of the fire, they could even vaguely see the explosion in the distance, the earth was flying, many people were blown away, and the screams were even more incessant.

"Haha, they stepped on a landmine and blew them up."

That's right, it's mines!

Under the guidance of Zhang Feng, the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has long produced samples, and later mass-produced a lot.

With thundermercury as a trigger drug, coupled with stable smokeless gunpowder, it is really not difficult to manufacture mines, and the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and the Xiaoqingshan Arsenal have each produced a lot, and this time they all brought over.

Although it may be a little backward compared to modern mines, it is estimated that there are still one or two dumb fire in ten, but as long as most of them can be stepped on, it is enough.

In front of a large open field, on the road, on both sides of the road, a large area of soldiers buried more than 1,000 mines, this kind of mines are relatively large, because there are more charges, round and look like a small watermelon, many soldiers jokingly call this kind of mines "iron watermelon".

"Commander, our iron watermelon has exploded, you see, a large number of people there have blown up."

There was a captain, by the light of the fire, who happened to see a mine being stepped on, and immediately shouted with joy, and the colonel also saw it, and thought to himself, with these mines, don't think about these Japanese tonight.

Sure enough, after stepping on some mines and killing and wounding hundreds of people, these Japanese finally retreated in horror, why are they frightened, it is because these Japanese do not understand at all what this thing is, and it is so powerful.

An explosion is often a large number of dead and wounded. The Japanese generals in charge of the command also did not understand, and they had never seen a mine, or even heard of it.

"Yaga, what's going on?"

One of the Japanese generals was furious and asked loudly, but no one could answer what was going on.

Obviously, the Japanese did not believe in evil, and not long after, they organized another attack, but this time they were obviously much more careful, and those Japanese at the front appeared to be wary, fearing that their feet would explode again.

Since it was a landmine, it would naturally explode when you stepped on it, and sure enough, another unlucky ghost stepped on the mine, and a violent explosion sounded again.

"Boom !!"

The earth was splashed, and several people were blown away, screaming. The explosion of a landmine is not only the power of the explosion of gunpowder, but also the iron balls that fill the mine, etc., these things are the most dangerous, splashing 360 degrees and affecting a large area.

A mine sounded, killing and wounding a large number of people, some were directly killed, and those who did not die were wailing on the ground. If Zhang Feng is here and sees with his own eyes that his mines have such a great effect, he will definitely wonder if the smokeless gunpowder is a little too much, which can catch up with a small ** bag.

"Baga, go this way, this side."

There was a Japanese samurai who pointed to the side of the avenue and instructed the Japanese not to go along the avenue, but to the side of the avenue, which was a large wasteland, and there was no such terrible thing there.

There are really mines in this large wasteland, and a lot of them have been buried, no, as soon as a large group of people passed, some mines were immediately stepped on, and violent explosions sounded again.

There are mines everywhere, how can this go forward, how can this go to Edo Castle.

The Japanese generals in charge of the command were so angry that they almost vomited blood, but there was nothing they could do except for Kiri Wola shouting.

These Japanese did not dare to go any further, so they could only pause their advance and prepare to wait for dawn.

Not only here, but in several other places, the soldiers planted a large number of mines on the way to Edo.

Burying the mines in these places, Zhang Feng does not have a little psychological pressure, anyway, it is a place for the Japanese, it is better to bury a little more, and blow up these little Japanese.

Tokugawa Iemitsu dispatched nearly 100,000 troops, and the troops marched towards Edo Castle in several directions, but they encountered mines one after another, so they had to stop and wait for dawn.

The whole night, there was basically no fighting, only the sound of mines exploding, and some unbelieving Japanese generals commanded their troops to rush forward, and then retreated with heavy casualties.

Today's two watches, the second one will be sent. (To be continued.) )
