Chapter 360: Sneak Attack on the Pass

At the beginning of the hour, the summer day arrived early, and the sky was already bright, and Yuki Doi and Kuroki Tomohisa were lying on a small hillside more than two miles away from the Ming army castle, and the dense forests and artemisia grass on the mountain blocked everything.

They were hidden in it, no one knew, even the Ming army three miles away was unaware.

"Yuki Doi, it's time for them to arrive." Kuroki Tomohisa is dressed in a short dress, just like the moon head that was erected high in the past, but now he is just barely getting a bun, and he can't take care of it when he walks through the mountains.

In order to avoid the Ming army, more than 2,000 of them traveled through the trail at the western foot of Shisheng Lianfeng, led by more than 100 Anui people along the way, in order to catch the Ming army off guard.

"It's time to come." Yuki Doi looked anxiously at the mountain path leading to the castle.

After the meal, a caravan of dozens of people, all dressed as Anuis, appeared on the mountain road.

Some mules and horses carried rattan baskets, which were needed by caravans to and from Lianfeng, and there was nothing unusual.

Since the Ming people came to the West Ezo land, they brought a large amount of wrought iron, salt, cloth, fishing and hunting tools, which are actually available to the people, but the items of the Ming people are much cheaper than those of the people.

This attracted a lot of Anui people to and from the two places to traffic, which was also a golden trade route, and the Beihua Government Affairs Department did not stop the exchange between the two places in order to arouse the envy of the Anui people in East Ezo for the life of the Anui people in Beihua.

The caravan approached the checkpoint set up by the Ming army, which was guarded by two Shi garrisons.

The soldiers in advance stopped the caravan, and it was necessary to collect a centi, and more income could also reduce the burden on the government department, so this pass has always been like this.

When the North Korean army left, they even left a few soldiers to assist in collecting taxes. Now they are the ones who have stopped the caravan.

According to the rules, they just checked the price of the goods and charged one-twentieth of the tax, but in fact, the caravans from East Ezo to the west did not have much oil and water, and there were still many goods from the west to the east. More taxes are collected.

The head of the Anui in the caravan knew the Korean soldiers and muttered to each other towards the caravan, and at this moment, all the Anui in the caravan suddenly took out their swords and small shields from the rattan baskets, and they rushed to the checkpoint.

The two North Korean soldiers hurriedly pulled out their waist swords, but these people were outnumbered and instantly overwhelmed them.

The two Beihua garrisons at the checkpoint were also flustered, and they had never encountered a sneak attack.

Only half of them hurriedly used their spears to defend themselves against the enemy, and some even fled to the castle.

But they forgot to block the way to the castle. Thirty or forty Anui rushed to the gate of the castle.

"It's finished." Yuki Doi raised his hand backwards and stood up in the midst of the barren grass in a dense group of Japanese people, this is the team of the Matsumae clan and the Date family.

The more than 2,000 people were dressed in short clothes and gave up all their armor just to travel through the forest paths, and they only brought dry food and weapons, just for the convenience of sneak attacks at this time.

Yuki Doi and Tomohisa Kuroki ran in the team, and they had only one thought in their hearts. Entering the castle and the barracks before the Akito reacts is to block the connection between the Akito and the East.

Even if the East wins. It's just a trapped beast, and the west is even more empty, and the Anui people in the north should make some noise.

Fang Gaoshan and Yu Zhe led them to the changing of the guard together with the other, changing the guard at one hour at night and changing the guard at one and a half hours during the day.

Fang Gaoshan is also a small chief now, and they have just had breakfast. Come and change the guard and let the brothers at the checkpoint go back to eat.

As soon as they came out of the barracks next to the castle, they saw twenty or thirty men rushing towards the entrance of the castle with weapons in their hands, and met them head-on.

Fang Gaoshan hurriedly ordered to move forward to block, and they were able to stop the enemy in front of the castle. Ten garrisons at the entrance to the castle also joined their side.

Fang Gaoshan gasped for breath to relieve tension, "Gun array, gun array." ”

Thirty men raised their spears horizontally, forming a small phalanx.

Fang Gaoshan looked at the enemy who was about to arrive in front of him through the gap in the armor he had put down, and his heart only needed to support it for a while, because the drum of the alarm on the tower had already sounded.

These so-called Anui people were all dressed up as people, and they skillfully brandished their swords and shields, and rushed towards the Ming army, which was hastily arrayed, and was not even too neat.

"Kill." Fang Gaoshan shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers in the front row stabbed out their spears together, half of them were blocked by shields, but half of the spears still flew away from the small shields and stabbed the enemy, for the sake of secrecy, the small shields hidden were too light.

Fang Gaoshan's body was strong, and his spear flew into the shield and pierced into the enemy's abdomen, marking a vote of blood.

A Japanese man on the side took the opportunity to wave his knife and looked at Fang Gaoshan, and a spear stretched out from the right side and stabbed the Japanese man.

In a flash, the Japanese suffered a big loss.

The Japanese people in the back were in a hurry, trying their best to attack the castle and destroy the artillery of the Ming army, which was instructed by Doi Yuguiqian to interfere with the outcome of this battle.

Several Japanese people brandished a knife from the ground and rolled to rush towards the Ming army, the Ming army stabbed two Japanese to death with a spear, but there was still a Japanese man rushed into the Ming army's formation, he brandished a shield and a knife, launched hand-to-hand combat, the knife saw blood, and injured two Ming soldiers in an instant.

At this time, the spears of the Ming army were clumsy, and the other Japanese rushed up again.

"Ten steps back and the whole team." Fang Gaoshan shouted anxiously.

Hearing the news, the other garrisons hurriedly retreated, and the Japanese pursued behind.

After quickly taking ten steps back, Fang Gaoshan and the others regrouped their team, this time they paid attention to their feet, and did not let the Japanese people take advantage.

At this time, the sound of roaring footsteps sounded, Fang Gaoshan and the others were overjoyed, this voice was too familiar, this was a whole team of soldiers out of the camp.

I saw hundreds of Beihua garrisons marching out of the camp in a neat line under the orders of the hundred and thousand generals.

At this time, more than 2,000 people led by Yuki Doi and Tomohisa Kuroki also approached the barracks at a trot.

When they saw the soldiers of the Ming army in full armor, the two were taken aback, they hid their whereabouts in order to cross the mountains and mountains, but they did not wear armor, which was much worse.

The two of them estimated it, and saw that there were only less than a thousand Ming troops, and it seemed that they could fight, so they urged the ashigaru to speed up and attack immediately while the Ming army was not in formation.

But they didn't expect the Ming army to be so fast, they were close to a hundred paces, and the Ming army's large array had appeared in front of them neatly.

Doi Yugui yelled at the archers to prepare, at this time it is impossible to stop, although it means that the army is ready, but if the melee Ming army collapses, this is an inaccurate thing, the reputation of the Ming army in the past is not good.

Bang bang bang, the Ming army's firecrackers fired, and nearly a hundred lead bullets roared in, knocking dozens of ashigaru to the ground.

Doi and Kuroki yelled in the back to let Ashigaru move forward.

The two ashigaru rushed forward with all their might, and they knew that the earlier they arrived, the less they would be bombarded, and they knew the length of the iron cannon.

Bang bang, the second row of fire guns fired, the flesh and blood of the front row of Ashigaru splattered, and another row of deaths.

The voice of the silk sounded, and two or three hundred arrows flew towards the Ming army, bringing casualties to the Ming army, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries.

At this moment, in the roar of the boom, several projectiles rushed into the Ashigaru dense formation, wading out of several bloody paths, and the stumps and broken arms of Ashigaru along the way splashed, and even Ashigaru's body was hit and flew up.

The sound of ghosts crying wolves resounded through the valley, and the miserable sound echoed in this valley.

Yuki Doi and Tomohisa Kuroki gritted their teeth and led their troops forward, knowing that if they fought with the Ming army, the artillery would be out of luck.

Bang bang, the last row of firecrackers of the Ming army fired, and the smoke enveloped the Ming army's large array, which looked misty.

Dozens more fell in the first row of the ashigaru, and the forwards they charged into formation had already been beaten like dogs, and there was no formation left.

Boom, the second round of artillery attacked, in order not to accidentally injure their own soldiers and horses, this artillery bombardment bombarded the middle and rear of the ashigaru, and it set off a bloody storm.

A projectile whistled and hit the two guards on Kuroki's left side, instantly spraying out a large piece of flesh and blood.

Kuroki Tomohisa turned into a bloody man in an instant, his face was full of blood foam, and half of Yuki Doi's body was also sprayed, and the two continued to rush forward with strong nausea.

Before engaging with the Ming army, the ashigaru men had already lost nearly a quarter of their manpower.

However, they also engaged the spearmen of the Ming army.

The sound of the ping-pong weapons rang out, and the two sides fought fiercely, and in an instant, Doi found that something was wrong, and almost all of the people who fell to the ground and struggled were ashigaru.

Although Ashigaru bravely rushed into battle under the teachings of the Ming people who were cowardly in close combat and easy to collapse, the Ming army gave them a fatal blow with a long spear, and their swords and guns often could only inflict injuries on the Ming army, because the iron armor of the Ming army neutralized the first wave of blows.

However, the defenseless bodies of the ashigaru were ravaged by the spears of the Ming army, and they rushed forward one after another, in exchange for more and more ashigaru falling to the ground and dying.

Boom, another round of artillery bombarded the rear of the ashigaru, this time because the front had already fought, the rear of the ashigaru squeezed together, these projectiles were like a meat grinder in the ashigaru army formation to crush the bodies of dozens of people.

Flesh droplets and stumps of rotten flesh flew in all directions, and the bloody horror was scattered in all directions, and Ashigaru could no longer withstand it, the Ming army in front was fierce, and the artillery bombardment in the rear continued, and Ashigaru in the rear collapsed and fled.

Ashigaru, who was still fighting ahead, realized that the momentum was not right, and began to turn around and flee.

Yuki Doi looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, Kuroki kicked him, and immediately began to retreat, who can take care of who at this time.

Doi also woke up like a dream and followed Kuroki to turn around and flee.

Most of the Ming infantry pursued them, and they were constantly knocked to the ground.

Fang Gaoshan gasped for breath, watching the remaining few ashigaru turn around and flee, he was soaking wet, rushing to meet the battle, blocking the entrance of the fort, he was also afraid when he thought of Fang Cai's thrill at this time.

He looked up at the Japanese who had begun to flee in all directions, and breathed a sigh of relief, finally crossing the border.

"Second brother, I seem to have been shot here." Fang Gaoshan hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that Yu Zhe's left chest was all dyed red, and half of his body was stained with blood, Fang Gaoshan's heart tightened. (To be continued.) )
