Chapter 358: The Coalition Collapses

The leaders of the various feudal clans and the wealthy clans, who heard Matsumi Hiroshi's order, hurriedly let their soldiers retreat, and at the same time, in order to block the pursuit of the Beihua army, they even gave in to the archers to shoot arrows at the battlering place to delay the pursuit of the Beihua army.

The coalition forces withdrew in embarrassment, and the North Chinese Army was also reorganized, and Ma Quanfu welcomed the retreat of the coalition forces very much.

He immediately ordered the musketeers to return to the first few rows, this was the sharp spear of the Breaker Army.

Due to the chaos and disorder, and the death of Roddy Rossi, many of the Anui began to flee, but unfortunately, the cavalry of the North Chinese Army regained their strength after recuperation, and they gave chase with swords and guns.

The legs of the Anui could not escape from this field, they were cut to the ground one by one, and the rest of the Anui were all kneeling in place and waiting for the Ming to deal with them, and the morale of the army was lost.

The retreating 4,000-strong Japanese ashigaru and samurai lined up in a tight formation, as if they wanted to huddle together to keep warm.

Matsu Prospect met with Nobushihiro Ueda, the wounded Kishi Nobuki, and Mutsu and Tokachi's wealthy clan.

Matsu Prospect Hiroshi and Tokatsu's wealthy clan insisted on fighting, and defeat meant losing Tokatsu, which was by no means tolerable, and Ueda Nobuyoshige, Kishi Nobuki, and the rest of Mutsu all wanted to make peace.

The Mutsu reinforcements have been torn apart, what the Ming army collapsed in close combat, and what was then covered up and killed, it's all, even Kishi Xinjian said that I have never seen such a Ming army, they Mutsu are cold teeth rather than lips, and half of the Mutsu reinforcements have been killed and wounded in the field, and the blood flow is enough.

The two sides had a fierce argument, and even almost started to fight.

At this time, the large array of the North Chinese Army was gradually approaching, and the sound of roaring footsteps was like a war drum urging life. Bombarded in the hearts of the allied forces.

Mutsu people don't have time to spend it. They immediately led the remaining 2,000 men to the side. Left alone with less than 2,000 men of the Matsumae Domain and the Tokachi Clan, as well as nearly a thousand Roddy Rossi clansmen, their leaders had been killed in battle, and they marched and retreated with the Matsumae Domain.

The other more than 10,000 Anui fled except for the thousands who died in battle, and they saw no hope of victory.

Mutsu sent Kishi letterhead to the Beihua Army with a white flag to ask for surrender.

Kishi Nobu's note was led by a long man through the blood-stained battle robes but the Beihua soldiers who guarded their battle positions, thinking to themselves, these Ming people are by no means the same as the Ming army in Korea, why. Melee Collapse This is a victory opportunity between the Japanese and the Ming people for more than a hundred years, and now it is gone.

He came to a general in bright white armor surrounded by a dozen guards.

He bowed deeply, "The contemptible Mutsu Soma family's retainer Kishi Nobu, meet Lord Mingguo." ”

Fukudaoka, who was the interpreter, translated his words to Ma Quanfu.

"Well," Ma Quanfu didn't get off the horse, and looked condescendingly at the blood-stained Kishi letterhead. "On behalf of whom are you coming to ask for surrender?"

"We waited for the reinforcements of the Mutsu Domain on the orders of the shogunate Shogun, and we have nothing to say about this defeat, so I hope that Lord Meikoku will allow us to withdraw our troops from Ezo and return to Mutsu." Kishi's head bent lower.

Fukudaoka translated. Ma Quanfu pondered for a moment, and he bowed his head to the letterhead. "Yes, it's just that you wait to step aside first, and hand over the long weapons, bows, and firecrackers at that time."

Kishi Xinjian was overjoyed after hearing this, he kowtowed heavily, Nima, this Ming person is better than the Chinese people, and the losing side of the fight between the domestic daimyo can have such dignity, keep short weapons to defend himself, hehe, Ming people still care about face.

After thanking Kishi on his note, he was supported by his subordinates and retreated into the formation, telling the Mutsu people what had happened, and what made him blush was that someone actually cheered, which really embarrassed the face of the Yamato samurai.

Immediately, he looked at the nearly 10,000 corpses on the fallen field and was silent, it was good to be alive, but it was not easy to live.

It's no wonder that more than half of Mutsu's reinforcements were killed.

The remaining men and horses of Mutsu stepped out of the territory of the two sides for a mile to avoid the territory where the two sides were fighting, and expressed an attitude that we would not participate in your affairs.

At the same time as they retreated, Ma Quanfu sent two hundred teams to collect the wounded behind, and now in his opinion, the victory or defeat has been decided, and it is necessary to collect the wounded as soon as possible, and it is also stipulated in the military regulations of the Broken Army.

Ma Quanfu looked at the people of the Matsumae Domain, who had been surrounded in fear, although they were terrified, they did not lay down their arms.

When Mutsu's men and horses retreated from the battlefield, he ordered the army to move forward.

Boom, boom, the sound of the neat footsteps of the Beihua Army sounded on the silent field, and thousands of Beihua troops strode forward with high morale, and the sun shone on it to reflect the cold light of the metal.

The people of the Matsumae Domain were frightened but insisted on maintaining the formation, they knew that they had no luck, but there was no way back, they were now just thinking of killing one more Ming person.

When the moving neat array came to a hundred paces in front of the Matsumae Domain, the entire army stopped with a long brass horn.

"Tiger." The Beihua soldiers shouted, and the firecrackers in the front row aimed at the enemy.

If you want to say that if you report the thought of death, your reaction will be slow, and you will die, and you still want to do so much.

The most important thing for the army of the Songqian clan is to speed up and move closer to the Ming army, so that they can fight again with the loss of Thai centaurs, so that they can have the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army.

But no one reacted, and at this time they found out that the iron gunners who had just fought against the Ming army did not come back, almost all of them were killed, and the remaining ten or twenty were of no use at all.

Bang, the Ming army's guns roared.

The Matsumae clan, the Hao clan, and the Anui people in the front row fell like felled trees, and the scene was like a queue to be shot.

"Rush into battle, rush into battle." Song Jinguang was the first to react, and he shouted hoarsely.

He pulled out his sword and rushed first, and the other Ashigaru samurai also woke up like a dream, waiting for the fire to bombard in place, wouldn't they be bombarded by the enemy's hair.

All the ashigaru and samurai wielded their weapons and marched forward bravely, at this time they only had one extravagant hope, after running these hundred steps, the Ming army formation, in order to meet their lives.

But after running more than ten steps, they were surprised to find that the first row of musketeers of the Ming army retreated, but the second row of musketeers did not step forward, but fired at the ashigaru of the Matsuzen clan on the spot.

In the roar, more than 100 people fell to the ground and lost or were losing their lives.

The rest of the people ran forward in frenzy, chasing death, hoping that they would be able to kill a few Ming soldiers before they died.

The second row of musketeers of the North Chinese Army stepped back, revealing the third platoon of musketeers, and they fired again.

It took the lives of more than 100 people again, and many of the ashigaru samurai of the Matsumae Domain rushed forward with tears in their eyes.

At this time, they were only sixty paces away from the Ming army's formation, and the remaining two hundred foot archers of the Matsuzen Domain were shooting wildly, shooting out all their hatred, which was the only weapon they could control at the moment.

The retreating musketeers were hit, and some of the soldiers were wounded, but no one suffered heavy losses, after all, the two hundred infantry archers were still a little less, and their bows and arrows were not Jiannu's heavy arrows, and their armor was not deep.

The third row of musketeers left, and the fourth-row musketeers fired another volley, then taking the lives of more than a hundred people.

Seeing this, the people of the Songqian Domain were simply full of inner cows, and the day was about to dawn, and they knew that the four rows of firecrackers were finished, and they were the firecrackers of the Ming army, and they could fight in close quarters.

Finally free from the fate of being beaten, they quickened their pace and roared forward.

Unexpectedly, the fourth row of firecrackers retreated, revealing a row of firecrackers, and it turned out that the first row of firecrackers had already returned here to fill the firearms, waiting to be fired again.

In fact, when this formation of musketeers and pikemen formed an army, they practiced it, but one was a forward formation and the other was a backward formation.

Depending on the situation on the battlefield, the generals will decide which one to adopt.

However, in the past, when encountering Jiannu, there were cavalry rushing into formation, and the backward formation was afraid that the fire gunners and pikemen would not be able to withstand the pressure and collapse, so they were never adopted.

At this time, the victory was decided, the soldiers were full of confidence, and Ma Quanfu didn't want to fight with the remnants of the Matsuzen Domain, he felt that the blood of the Beihua Army had been shed enough, so he ordered the adoption of this formation that launched backwards and flowed.

The Matsumae clan and the samurai who never expected it were sad, and their happy mood was gone, and they had to rush forward in the rain of bullets, the question is when it will be a head.

This bloody road is too long, as if there is no end.

Despite this, everyone in the Matsumae Domain also rushed into battle, which was much better than being killed on the spot.

The fifth row of firecrackers fired, rushing to the front of the more than 100 people to the ground, at this time more than 100 steps away lying on the Matsumae clan Ashigaru and the corpses of the samurai, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bloody road.

At this time, many people's nerves are already insufficient, this is endless torture, and how strong nerves must be to support it.

So the more than 1,000 people were divided into two routes, one part was still desperately rushing into battle, and the other part was scattering and fleeing.

Ma Quanfu shouted loudly, "Let the cavalry chase and kill, and leave no room alive." ”

This sentence stunned the left and right, but the order was still carried out.

Ma Quanfu knew in his heart that this was an order brought by Wan Ji, and Lord Zhao Lie's original words were that the Japanese dared to resist those who dared to be recalcitrant, and there was no forgiveness for those who came after.

Under the command of drums, trumpets and banners, the cavalry launched a pursuit under the command of Huang Maolin, and they wildly swung their sabers in pursuit of the rebels of the Matsumae Domain.

Many of the Matsumae clan's ashigaru fled and never looked back until they were cut to the ground from behind by cavalry.

Some still have some courage and turn around to face the battle, but unfortunately, if the infantry army does not meet the large cavalry in formation, it is the fate of being cut and killed.

Hundreds of fleeing ashigaru watched as they were wiped out one by one, and there was not much left, and there was only one way to die in the battle with the cavalry on the plains.

This is also the reason why once the Ming army in Liaodong is defeated, it will be a big rout, and it is too difficult to reorganize to meet the enemy in the flight.

The people of Mutsu watched happily, knowing that if they did not surrender but fled, they would be the end of the situation. (To be continued.) )
