With the sound of artillery, the Japanese who tried to sneak into the city were swept away by the rain of bullets in the dense turns, followed by the shouting of killing and shaking the sky in the city, and the Ming army, which had already been poised for a long time, poured out of the nest and quickly formed a dense attack on the open field outside the city gate, completely abandoning the back line of fish scale formation.

The gate slammed shut, followed by the creak of chains, and the drawbridge slowly rose.

Bai Chongzan was in the middle of the formation, and shouted awe-inspiringly: "Feng Qin sent the minister to supervise the military affairs of the six provinces to suppress the Japanese governor Yang Ling's order, and annihilate the Japanese in front!" The Japanese are not clean, the city gates are not opened, and the victory and defeat of life and death are all fought here. Lord Yang will lead the army to return in a moment's effort, soldiers, rush me! ”

Bai Chongzan brought out 8,000 people, and left 7,000 soldiers and horses in the city to defend the city, even if the whole army was destroyed, it was enough to support Yang Ling's reinforcements. However, if the army held on to the city and waited for Yang Ling to rush back before sending troops, although it could reduce casualties and use the city walls and artillery to kill and injure more Japanese invaders, Yang Ling could not join the siege with the defenders in the city as soon as possible when he returned to the army, and the Japanese would take the opportunity to break through and escape.

Moreover, Yang Ling made this battle against the city, and Bai Chongzan was the first to send troops, and the main purpose was to arouse the determination of the whole army not to be afraid of battle. At that time, the army had neither weapons that could absolutely penetrate plate armor, nor armor that could absolutely resist firearms; There was neither a cannon that could break through the fortified city, nor an anti-artillery fortress that could completely resist artillery fire.

It can be said that the main reason for the huge gap between the two armies is morale, and in addition, the intensity of the regular training of the two sides and the command and leadership of the generals. The Ming army was defeated again and again, and even caused a situation in which thousands of soldiers were chased by 100 Japanese pirates, not because the gap between weapons and force was too great, but because the army had no fighting spirit at all.

Yang Ling now has neither the time nor the military budget to support him to re-recruit soldiers to replace this already decaying army, so he can only resort to ruthless moves, hoping that they can have the performance of Phoenix Nirvana.

If a structure cannot be broken from within, and cannot be replaced by another model, then it can only rely on external forces to bring about its change.

After a short period of panic, they finally realized that there was no choice for them to escape, and if they wanted to live, they had to fight with the Japanese in front of them.

Yang Ling's military order had already been sent back, and the soldiers were restrained by military law, and no one dared to show their intention to flee to the two wings first, and the law enforcement team had been quietly deployed to the two wings.

The fish scale formation is suitable for intensive attacks, and the biggest disadvantage is that it only needs a small number of surprise soldiers to raid from behind, and the formation can be destroyed, but the Ming army is now behind a strong city wall, and there is no need to worry about the rear defense at all.

Moreover, the dense formation of long and short, far and near weapons can defend each other, which has a stabilizing effect on the morale of the army. At first, they marched hesitantly and in small steps, and as the Japanese invaders approached closer and closer, the Ming army, which had no way out, finally had red eyes and rushed forward with a roar and curse.

When fear reaches the extreme, it will produce crazy destruction ** and courage, Yang Ling's psychology finally came into play, the extremely frightened Ming army finally broke out, their shouting voice was high-pitched, full of fear and despair, but their manners and actions became even more crazy than the bravest soldiers: Kill! Only by killing these people in front of me can I live!

"Woo~" infiltrated a low groan, the archers arranged in the Chinese army were more powerful, shot the first row of arrows, and flew over the heads of the Ming army who rushed forward frantically, "poof, poof, poof" A series of dull light sounds, that was the sound of arrows shooting into **.

The Ming army's arrows were light, but most of the Japanese had no armor, and although the arrows were not fatal, the injured Japanese stumbled and fell to the ground one by one. In such a chaotic impact formation, falling down means death, and the unstoppable Wakou Xun is about to trample them under their feet.

The firecrackers stopped with only one shot, flashing between the gaps in the 'fish scales' so as not to hinder the advance of the army, while a large number of short-shot javelins were thrown out by the soldiers with the momentum of running.

The swift rush forward was like rain beating the remnants of the lotus, seeing Nami Zhengzhi feel distressed for a while, these are his most confidant soldiers, he never thought that the Ming army did not have a plan, and had the courage to rush out of the city to find him to fight, and now there is only one battle. He firmly believed that once the soldiers were close to each other, his soldiers would not be able to resist the Ming army, and the courage that the Ming army had mustered up in the battle against the city would be evaporated by the brutal killing and poking.

The blades intersected, the sound was as dense as a shower, and the two sides finally covered up together, and for a while, the blood and rain flew Yang Ling was a moment later than expected.

There were 1,000 Japanese robbers in ambush on the tea mountain, and the combat strength of individual soldiers was far inferior to his 3,000 Jingwei, not to mention that the sneak attack was ineffective, and the enemy was outnumbered, in the reeds and fires, the whole battle completely became a performance of the Ming army's slaughter skills.

The 20,000 Ming soldiers clearly saw their comrades-in-arms wielding their swords in a flawed manner, and every group of three people, you advance and retreat, fighting alternately, and the fierce and brave Japanese were turned into blood-splattered corpses by the steel knives in their hands.

Witnessing the scene of the Japanese being slaughtered and poked, the Japanese are also flesh and blood, and the recognition that they can also be slashed and defeated by the brave Ming army makes them from shock, excitement, to eagerness to try.

Yang Ling, who had been observing the movements of his own army, suddenly had an idea in his heart when he saw this situation, and when Min Wenjianxing rushed over, he told that there were only more than 200 people who had attacked in the rear, and that only more than 200 of them had fled in all directions, and that the rest had ambushed 600 and captured more than 200 wounded soldiers alive.

More than 300 brave and exhausted widows were chased around the tea mountain, but the tea mountain is simply a gentle slope, how can there be danger to hide and defend? The physical strength and morale of the 20,000 Ming army are at their best, but they are so tired that their legs and stomachs cramp, how can this battle be fought?

In the history of the Japanese invasion war, known as the "most shameless" battle, seventy or eighty fought one, many of them were beaten to death, even so, in the end, there were still more than twenty dying, the face of the tea tree scratched by the Japanese invaders was dragged down the hillside by the Ming army alive.

Yang Ling ordered General Luo to guard these disarmed would-be would-be robbers, and at the same time escorted the cannons to slow down, and he led his brigade back to Suzhou City.

Naomi Zhengzhi's most elite soldiers are really extraordinary, the lack of training of the Ming army as soon as the two armies are in a scuffle, the original orderly formation will be destroyed, if it is not for the lack of retreat, the army is crowded together and can not break through to the two wings from the sword mountain and the sea, rush out of the monitoring range of the law enforcement team to escape, it is inevitable that some soldiers will break out, as long as some soldiers flee, then it will be like a flood that has broken the mouth, and the scene of the whole army retreating will be repeated.

More than 10,000 soldiers crowded on the narrow battlefield, with people in front of them and behind them on all sides, they could only wave their knives and keep swinging their knives, harvesting and burying human lives with chopping movements. When the Japanese invaders were killed and wounded nearly 1,000, the Ming army had nearly 3,000 casualties.

But Bai Chongzan consumed, but Nami Zhengzhi couldn't afford to consume, even if all the desperate Ming troops were wiped out, there would be no more people left, God knows how many defenders there are in the city? The plan to seize the city has been recognized, and it is difficult for the ambush soldiers in Shiwazhai to play an effective role, what if the Ming army waves its troops to help?

Nami Zhengzhi was about to order the army to retreat, and the back road was fighting to shock the sky, and Yang Ling's army returned.

Yang Ling used the same method as the decisive battle between the Japanese and the Ming army, placing the most elite soldiers at the forefront of the charge, which had the effect of taking the lead. Three thousand Jingwei, wielding a long-handled Pu knife with blurred flesh and blood, fiercely rushed into the chaotic battlefield, rushing straight over like a lawnmower, followed by the defenders of Suzhou, who picked up the cheap.

Nomi Masachi sighed in sorrow, and the sound of bangzi sounded in the chaos of the army, passing on the content of their unique communication. This adventure was completely defeated, and in this battle, Naomi Masachi slipped from the position of the four pirates of his country into the second-rate team, and if he wants to make a comeback, I don't know how many twists and turns it will take.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet closed the siege, the remnants of the Japanese invaders gathered and fled to the southwest in a panic, and in this moment, they piled down more than 100 corpses. When the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese were defeated, and the morale of Bai Chongzan's troops was greatly boosted, and the two joined forces together, and followed the Japanese to the southwest.

Lujiaku, Zhangjiaqiao, Shiqutou, the Japanese Kou ran all the way, through the village and the town, did not dare to stay for a moment, the Ming army chased closely, with the difference in the physique of the soldiers, the whole Ming army lined up into a long snake formation, chasing after the mighty and mighty, but no matter how slow the chase was, running fast, all the Ming army had a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

In the past, they had fought with the Japanese Invaders, and they had experienced the feeling of being out of breath, but what kind of mood was that? You have to worry about the Japanese Invaders catching up and stabbing them in the head, and now, the Wolves who are constantly exhausted and lonely on the road are quickly killed by them like ants, and this battle is full of pride.

Nami Masachi rode a mule, led the deserters to rush through a forest in front of the mun, and had just run out of half a mile, when under the moonlight, he suddenly saw a three-way army in front of him, and saw that the long fire dragon team also had at least 5,000 men and horses. Naimei Zhengzhi was shocked, hurriedly reined in the mule, and said with a face as earthy: "Could it be that the main general of the Ming army is Zhuge Wuhou reborn?" Is there an ambush here? ”

The army in front stopped advancing, and someone shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Onimo Koshiro brandished a sword and shouted: "Lord, I will lead people to stop them, you go east quickly, hurry back to the island, as long as you are here, we still have hope!" ”

As he said that, he greeted and led more than two hundred dead soldiers to rush forward with a shout.

Naimei Zhengzhi's bandit Yu Wenming hurriedly said: "Lord, there is a lake to the east of this place, only Liujiatan and Yaowanshe have small boats to cross, and there are no more than seven people per crossing, and it is too late for the whole army to cross."

Nami Masachi's heart sank when he heard this.

At this time, Kimo Koshiro had already rushed towards the middle army with a sword, and a person ran out of the front army and shouted: "Stop, don't move forward, report your name and surname!" ”

Onimao Koshiro didn't answer, rushed forward is a knife, the person on the opposite side reacted very quickly, jumped away from it, and immediately raised a gun to meet it, Oni Mao's two subordinates stepped forward to attack, shouting loudly in their mouths, and the three knives were like a storm "brushing brush" to chop down.

The man was in a hurry, and seeing that he was shrouded in the middle of the three long knives, he shouted loudly and said a language that the Japanese people could not understand, and at this moment, Kimo Koshiro had already stopped him and slashed him to death.

With the roar of the man, a delicate girl's voice suddenly came out of the opposite formation, and even the people who knew Chinese in the Japanese could not understand the shouting.

In the distance, Nami Zhengzhi rode on a mule, and when he saw the Ming army in such a position, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he laughed and said, "God help me!" This Ming army has no tactics, and its combat power must not be strong, so quickly rush over and disrupt their formation, and with their chaotic army, they can also block the pursuers, and we have hope of escaping! ”

When the Japanese were overjoyed when they heard this, they immediately swung their weapons and swarmed up, and Nomi Masatomo also drew his sword, slapped the buttocks of the mule, and rushed over surrounded by the bandits.

However, the more than 200 Japanese soldiers who had just come into contact with this Ming army had a completely different feeling, and from a distance, the Ming army that rushed up seemed to be a group of rabble, but they were close at hand, but they had the feeling that they were in a hurry and could not parry.

Rushing closer, they found that it seemed to be a strong army of civilians, and they did not have military uniforms at all. The first of these 'minzhuang' was a team of seven people, one of whom was armed with a long hook and sickle, another with an eight-foot-long wooden stick of tung oil, and the other two with short crossbows, while the three behind were all carrying bright short knives.

The Japanese people like to fight together, You Xi waved the knife before a loud shout first intimidated people's courage, I can't imagine that these 'people strong' also like to call for fighting, Oni Shigeru Koshiro held the Japanese sword in his hand before the enemy, the man holding a long hook and sickle has a strange scream, nearly two feet away from the gun to pick up the gun, and the three people standing side by side with him immediately cooperated in unison, cheering like thunder.

Onimo Koshiro was yelled at smartly, he avoided the spear and just rushed closer, the big man who raised the stick had already slashed down with a stick, he sneered, and the long knife of the snow was about to be split against the end of the man's stick, and suddenly there was a numbness in the waist, and a short arrow had been stabbed in.

The workmanship of these short crossbows must be very poor, the crossbow force is extremely small, the crossbow bolts are also made of hardwood, the weight is light, difficult and far, and the shot into the human body is not deep, Onimao Koshiro is about to cut off the head of this person with a knife and then remove the arrow in the waist, a paralyzing feeling has spread from the waist, and the arm is weak for a while.

The oil-soaked pliable wooden stick had been slammed into his radius, his forearm was fractured, his long knife fell to the ground, and the hooked and sickle-wielding 'Minzhuang' had led his four companions standing side by side to turn to another would-be would. Behind him, three sword-wielding 'Minzhuang' happily embraced him, and Kishige Koshiro noticed that one of them was still carrying a sack in his hand. Fighting, what to do with this thing?

He didn't have a chance to figure it out, two fierce 'Minzhuang' rushed over and blew without saying a word, the sharp blades cut off his neck at once, and blood gushed out, and the third 'Minzhuang' quickly picked up his head and threw it into the sack, and then the 'beheading trio' followed behind the four, shouting and cheering.

These 'people's strong' are like a little plum blossom, every group of seven people, one person attack, one person defends, two people sneak attack, and the three people behind are responsible for collecting heads, and shouting and cheering at the same time. If there are casualties in each group, the latter group will immediately have soldiers in charge of the same task, and the whole battlefield situation seems to be chaotic, but down to the details of each battle scene, it is a neat and orderly queue, even in the dark night.

Nami Masachi rode on the mule and sensed that something was wrong, this Ming army was by no means the rabble he imagined, there was no way, now he had to flee west, flee to Taihu Lake, where there are many mountains and islands, and the waterways are complicated, and there may be another chance to find another way to survive.

Naomi Masachi immediately turned his head and ordered his subordinates to inform the whole army to assemble and flee to Taihu Lake, the horn just sounded, he suddenly felt a numbness in his right neck, Nami Masachi reached out strangely and touched it, his fingers touched a short piece of thin and hard things, and it was also decorated with soft feathers, and the injured area was completely unconscious.

He looked to his right, and in the light of the torches, a beautiful girl wearing a blue narrow-sleeved blouse, a white belt tied around her waist, her hair was pulled to the right, a small comb was inserted, and a silver collar was wearing a silver collar around her neck, and she was taking a blowpipe from her mouth and inserting it back into her waist.

Seeing him coming, the girl raised her thick black and beautiful eyebrows defiantly, her eyes were as clear as water, her innocence was full of pink and fat, her slender waist was delicate, and she was pure and charming, which was really indescribably moving.

Nomi Masachi was furious, he pulled out his blow arrow from his neck and threw it at the ground, and the long knife was raised at the girl, but before she could speak, her paralyzed body had been planted from the mule. Frightened left and right, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and someone had already screamed and rushed towards the girl with a knife.

The girl stood under the torch with her hands in her hands, but she was not afraid when she saw the long knife coming. To her left and right stood six or seven strong men in blue-and-black cardigans, blue-black trousers, leggings, straw sandals, and black cloth heads, each with a hooked sickle or a long-handled broadsword.

Standing on her left and right holding torches are two girls wearing blue headscarves, blue right placket shirts, wide black trousers, trouser legs inlaid with flower belts, and aprons tied around their waists.

Seeing the Japanese invaders rushing forward, the girl waved her hand, six or seven strong men raised their weapons and shouted to meet them, the Japanese have fallen into a melee, although they know that the lord is in danger, the nearby Japanese robbers want to rush over, but a group of seven 'people Zhuang' is like a shadow, a little careless, either by the gun hook or by the stick knocked down, or the left and right cold arrows shot by the dark arrow, can not be withdrawn at all.

The blue-shirted girl saw that six or seven of her subordinates were entangled with the widows, so she pulled out her knife from her waist and rushed over with a scream, followed by more than a dozen blue-shirted girls, all of whom were holding long knives, and were vigorous and brave.

The addition of this new force suddenly turned the tide of the battle on their side, and the would-be robbers who were put down by hooked sickles or cold arrows immediately had the 'beheading trio' come forward and put the heads of the owls in high spirits. The blue-shirted girl killed her surname and led her women's army all the way forward to cover the past.

Nami Masatomo, who had been shot off her horse, was riding on a mule, and she had already guessed that it was one of the leaders of the Wakos, but she did not realize that this man was the leader of the Wako army, so she rushed in front of him and did not even care.

The guards had been killed, and the toxins were quickly spread all over his body, and he watched as a group of beautiful tigresses more terrifying than men rushed past him, but he couldn't move.

His neck was also stiff and unable to turn, and when his eyes moved, he saw three very honest faces appear in front of him with a smile, one of them was carrying a heavy big bag, the other was holding a torch, and the third was probing the bright steel knife to his neck Nami Masatomo, although he did not know whether he was dead or dead, but the well-trained Japanese did not become panicked because of the loss of the leader, and the deputy leader Akimoto Akira immediately took the responsibility of the leader and commanded the Japanese to flee westward while fighting.

The vanguard of the Ming army's pursuit arrived, this was a light cavalry, completely composed of Yang Ling's pro-army, Wu Hanchao took the lead and rushed to the front. Seeing the chaos ahead, he couldn't help but be stunned, grabbed the reins of his horse, and waved his hand to stop the whole army from advancing.

Wu Hanchao knew exactly that Yang Ling had not arranged an ambush here, where did this army come from? Through the costumes reflected in their torches, Wu Hanchao woke up a little: their costumes were clearly the 'blue-clothed Zhuang clan' in Guangxi, and this must be the wolf soldiers recruited by the imperial court.

There was such a prominent and strange army blocking the way of the Japanese Kou, Wu Hanchao was overjoyed. However, in such a melee situation, in the darkness of night, the two sides did not communicate at all in advance, and if they rashly led the army to fight, it would be more conducive to the Japanese invaders to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Wu Hanchao hurriedly ordered the chasing knights to stand by on the spot, monitor the situation on the battlefield, turned over and dismounted, and rushed into the battlefield with the courage of the masters.

Wu Hanchao held a long sword in his hand, and carried out a small move to move freely in the battle array, from time to time raised his sword to assassinate the Japanese who were in the battle, and grabbed the Zhuang warrior and asked, "Where is your leader?" ”

Those Zhuang soldiers naturally recognized the costumes of the officers and soldiers, and when they saw that he helped them kill the Japanese invaders, they were naturally their own people, but most of them did not understand Chinese, so they could only smile at him in a friendly manner, but they were at a loss when he asked him.

Wu Hanchao stomped his feet, so he had to continue to search, and he happened to meet a Zhuang person who could speak Chinese, but now he can't find his own leader.

He was wandering in the battle array, and suddenly found a group of 'blue strong' female soldiers in front of him, who were wielding swords and fighting with the Japanese invaders, these Japanese soldiers surrounded this group of female soldiers, and the periphery was surrounded by strong men, although the female soldiers in the center were all brave, but their strength was no longer strong, I am afraid that before the peripheral Zhuang warriors eliminated this group of Japanese soldiers, they would be wiped out.

Wu Hanchao was in a hurry, hurriedly flew over, jumped over the heads of those blue heroes with a loud shout, and fell into the battle circle as if falling from the sky. In front of her, a blue-shirted girl had just killed a widow, and her knees fell forward because of exhaustion.

Wu Hanchao hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, the long sword in his right hand stabbed out, and a cheap Japanese long knife in front of him was cut in half, and the long sword in Wu Hanchao's hand was like a dragon out of the water, piercing straight into his throat.

Wu Hanchao swung his sword to repel the two Japanese robbers, and asked anxiously, "Girl, do you know Chinese?" Who is your leader? Where is he? ”

The blue-shirted girl gasped and straightened her waist, stretched out her hand to sweep away the hair covering her eyes, and said loudly: "I am their leader Xiaoai, are you an official of the imperial court?" ”

(To be continued)
