Keep in mind!

"Gunner, come forward and set up a cannon!"

Just as Torii Hikozo was about to rush to the west bank of the Uji River, Tokugawa Yoshimune, who had been silently watching the battle, suddenly waved his hand and gave a loud order. 【】

"Hay!"

Tokugawa Yoshimune gave such an order, and the soldiers standing beside him, Tachibana no Suke, did not dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly responded, and rushed back to the headquarters, and after the order, a team of Japanese gunners immediately pushed more than 120 old-style guns and began to press forward, but they did not put all the artillery in one place, but dispersed into six relatively independent artillery groups, obviously accepting the lesson of yesterday's disastrous defeat of the former army.

"Heavy artillery, fire at me, and finish off the artillery positions of the Japanese slaves!"

At this time, the war was frequent, and the Qing troops in the positions under the city were in a bitter battle, even the artillery commander Lu Chengzhong did not notice the small movements of the enemy's rear formation, and only cared about directing his artillery to violently bombard the charging team of the Japanese army, but Akiyama, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, was keenly aware of the small actions of the Japanese army taking advantage of the chaos to press the artillery, and he did not dare to be careless, so he roared and gave the general order.

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

The six heavy artillery pieces at the head of the city have been on standby for a long time, and this time when he heard Akiyama's order, he did not dare to delay a little, but after listening to the six muffled sounds, six huge cannonballs were already whistling towards one of the artillery positions of the Japanese army, and in an instant, six red and black mushroom clouds exploded, and in the huge explosion, countless shrapnel swept around, and the Japanese gunners who were caught off guard were even if more than 20 people were killed or wounded, but even so, they could not deter the Japanese gunners.

"Target: Enemy artillery positions under the city, open fire!"

The gunners of the Wa army are the elite of the Tokugawa family, well-trained, and extremely skilled in tactical movements, the six heavy guns of the defenders at the head of the city only had time to fire two rounds, and the gunners of the Wa State have set up the old artillery, with the order of Tachibana no Suke, the remaining more than 100 old guns began to fire, and a dense cannonball whistled and fell to the two artillery positions on the left and right of the Qing army, and the Qing artillerymen were in chaos in an instant.

"Damn it, fight back, give me a fucking bang!"

Lu Chengzhong only cared about directing his artillery group to bombard the rear of the Japanese army, and he really didn't notice the artillery action of the Japanese army, and under this sneak attack, he lost three infantry guns at once, not to mention, even his own forehead was pulled out of a bloody mouth by shrapnel, which immediately made Lu Chengzhong very angry, and pushed away Goshha, who tried to come up to bandage him, and roared angrily.

"Take out the knife, rush, and drive the dog back!"

Lu Chengzhong's artillery group shifted its focus like this, the pressure of the Japanese army in the charge suddenly decreased, and it was difficult to suppress the Japanese army's desperate rush by firepower alone.

"Rush!"

As soon as Tashan took the lead, the Qing officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey, they all put down their rifles, drew out the war knives at their waists in unison, and rushed out of the trenches with a roar, killing the Japanese army like an angry wave.

"Onboard!"

Torii Hiko Sansho, who was hit by the Qing army's firepower, saw the Qing army slaughtering this time, not only was not afraid, but the courage increased sharply, and the remaining more than 1,300 Japanese troops shouted slogans and marched forward bravely, and soon fought with the Qing army into a group, the battle knife against the katana, the fight was extremely fierce, everywhere there was a sword light, human heads rolled to the ground, stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides who had already killed red eyes were strangled together on the river bank and on the ice.

Although the number of old artillery of the Japanese army is large, whether it is the loading speed or the power of the shells, it is a cut worse than the Qing army, and after several rounds of artillery battles, although it destroyed two Qing infantry guns, killed and wounded more than 20 gunners of the Qing army, but in contrast, the casualties of the Japanese army were several times that of the Qing army, and nearly 40 guns were destroyed by the Qing army, and more than 200 gunners were either killed or wounded, but even so, the Japanese gunners did not give up, and were still entangled with the Qing artillery. The two sides are fighting back and forth!

The time of a stick of incense has passed, and the fierce battle is still continuing, not only the artillery battle is stalemate, but the melee between the two armies on the west bank of the river has still not been able to distinguish a winner, no side, the strength of the Japanese army is superior, but in addition to the more than 200 samurai in the bird's house have combat effectiveness, the remaining temporary conscription of civilians combat effectiveness is really unbearable, even if they do not fight to the death, they are not the opponents of well-trained Qing officers and soldiers, often two or even three people can compete with a Qing soldier, and it is just by relying on this kind of stubborn fighting, Fang Cai was barely inseparable from the Qing army.

Seeing that his troops were slow to take the Qing army, Tokugawa Yoshimune's face immediately became gloomy, no side, time is too precious for him now, he can't afford to drag it - although the news of the fall of Kyoto last night has not yet spread, but the paper can't keep the fire, even if Tokugawa Yoshimune has given a gag order, even at the cost of killing people to kill people, but it is destined not to be hidden for long, once it is delayed under Uji Castle, the news will definitely spread throughout the army, and at that time, the feudal clans are afraid that they will have other ideas, Tokugawa Yoshimune had to fight the Qing army before the news spread, forcing the feudal clans to stop on the Tokugawa chariots.

"Order: All artillery will cover the Hexi battlefield with all its might, and there must be no mistakes!"

Faced with a stalemate, Tokugawa Yoshimune didn't intend to wait any longer, so he waved his hand and gave the order in cold blood.

"Yaga, what did you say?"

Tachibana Nosuke, who was commanding his artillery to fight the Qing army endlessly, heard that the herald had conveyed Tokugawa Yoshimune's order, and when he was angry, he grabbed the herald's corset and roared angrily.

"The general has an order: all artillery will cover the Hexi battlefield with all its might, and there must be no mistakes!"

The herald, though frightened by Tachibana's anger, forced himself to repeat Tokugawa Yoshimune's order again.

"Yaga!"

Tachibana nosuke angrily pushed the herald to the ground, but he still didn't dare to disobey the general's order, so he could only scream with his teeth and convey Tokugawa Yoshimune's order.

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

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese gunners is limited to the lack of artillery itself, and it may not be very strong, but as far as the execution of the order is concerned, it has always been meticulous, even if this order is really implemented, the dead and wounded soldiers are definitely more than the Qing army, but no one questioned it, and soon the artillery position was adjusted in the face of the Qing army's artillery attack, and with the order of Tachibana Nosuke, the remaining more than 80 artillery pieces opened fire at the same time, and 80 shells were overwhelmingly smashed towards the west bank of the river, and in the violent explosion, The officers and soldiers on both sides who were caught off guard were all unlucky, and the already chaotic battlefield suddenly became even more chaotic.

"Damn, these goddamn dogs, hit, hit me hard, and finish off the artillery position of the thieves!"

As soon as the artillery of the Japanese army shifted the target in this way, Akiyama, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was enraged, his hands and feet were cold, and he roared angrily, so the most bizarre scene on the battlefield appeared - the Qing artillery bombarded the Japanese artillery position, but the Japanese gunners ignored it and blindly bombarded the officers and soldiers on both sides in the melee.

"Why? Why? How can this be ......?"

On the battlefield of Hexi, Torii Hikozo is leading his guards to fight desperately with the Qing army, when the first round of artillery bombardment of the Japanese army covered it, he thought it was a misfire, but he didn't care much, and still led the troops to assault, but the second round was covered again, Torii Hikozo noticed that something was wrong, just thinking about leading the troops to withdraw from the artillery bombardment area first, a shell fell not far from his side, and in the huge explosion, Torii Hikozo was immediately blown up into the air, and then smashed on the ice like a broken sack, Blood spurted wildly all over his body, and his eyes were wide and he muttered, but before he finished speaking, a burst of darkness struck, and the unlucky Torii Hikozo was already silent, only a pair of eyes were still unwillingly open.

"Black Flag Army, attack!"

As soon as Torii Hikozo died like this, the hundreds of remaining soldiers under his command no longer had a trace of fighting spirit at all, and no one wanted to die under their own artillery fire, so they all fled to the rear in a chaotic manner, and at this time, the Qing army also lost interest in chasing and killing, and retreated one after another, trying to return to the trenches to fight again, but at this moment, Tokugawa Yoshimune, who was standing in the middle army, suddenly waved his hand and gave a general order in a loud voice.

The elite in the hands of Tokugawa Yoshimune is divided into black, red, white, yellow, and blue five armies, of which the black flag army is the head of the five armies, for the mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, of which the cavalry has a total of 500, and the infantry has 1,500 wholes, and the general of the unified army is Tokugawa Katsuyo, known as the first warrior in the Tokugawa shogunate army, and its combat power also ranks first in the whole army.

"Attack!"

In the past, when fighting, Tokugawa Katsuyo's troops have always been in the stalemate of the war, only then did they receive orders to force an attack to break the stalemate, and there were very few times when they attacked not long after the war began, but Tokugawa Katsuyoshi did not question Tokugawa Yoshimune's order, but roared wildly, pulled out the katana at his waist, pointed forward, and led the cavalry to launch a fierce charge, and then, 1,500 black-clothed, black-armored and black-flag infantry also rushed out of the formation like a tide, rushing forward frantically, Regardless of the fact that there were still their own defeated soldiers on the road to the impact, they just surged all the way to the Qing army position in Hexi.

"Damn, order the troops outside the city to withdraw to the city immediately, and all the artillery will be bombarded by me to cover the retreat of the infantry!"

Seeing that the Black Flag Army was coming so violently, Akiyama immediately judged that his own infantry, which had not yet been deployed in the trenches, would definitely not be able to block the strong attack of this group of Japanese troops, even if he sent out all the last five hundred reserves in his hand, it was useless, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he didn't dare to delay a little, so he hurriedly gave the order to withdraw.
