Chapter 503: The Blood Temple
The night was thick, and both sides knew that the breakthrough was just around the corner, and needless to say, the soldiers of the Owari Domain were gearing up to prepare, and they succeeded in making a move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Haizhou also knew that if the Japanese people didn't want to be trapped in the monastery, they had to break through as soon as possible, so he ordered the cavalry of the Broken Army to wait for the day, and the armor did not leave his body at all, and he was always on guard.
At the beginning of the day, there was a sudden movement in the temple, a section of the eastern wall was suddenly torn down, and thousands of Zhang Fanbu began to step out of the courtyard, carrying the sandbags that had been prepared for a long time and trotting towards the first trench.
At the same time, the horn of the Broken Army warning sounded rapidly, and the camp of the Broken Army was full of people, and the soldiers began to prepare for the attack under the order of thousands of generals.
The Wa people of the Owari Domain frantically filled the trenches, and soon filled the first trench, and then they began to fill the second trench, and when they crossed the second trench and began to fill the third trench, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Kuroda Shinyuki roared at the feudal soldiers to speed up their movements, it would be good to be able to fight even a little faster.
Under the reflection of the broken military torches around them, the feudal soldiers moved wildly, they kept throwing sandbags into the trenches, and one man was about to fill the level, and the Akito's brigade approached a distance of 100 paces.
Under the order of President Qian, the first soldiers to arrive began to bombard with firearms, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke spread in all directions, and the Japanese people were also prepared, they used the wooden shields prepared in advance to protect the safety of most of the people.
But there were still some of the feudal soldiers who fell to the ground and howled, and the terrible sound could be heard far away in the night.
Soon the ground of the third trench was filled in, and the brigade of the Japanese began to step out of the trench. But Akito did not come close. On the contrary, it has stepped back a bit. Just fight back with a firearm on a hundred paces.
Wang Haizhou understands that the breakouts at this time are all infantry teams, even if they run, they can't run far.
If the leader of the Japanese people wants to escape, it must be the more than 1,000 cavalry, otherwise he will not be able to escape, and the general of the Japanese people is definitely not so stupid.
Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves exploded in the monastery, and a large force of Japanese cavalry began to rush out of the monastery.
At this time, they are showing an indomitable momentum, either life or death. Even if his own family is killed, as long as the feudal lord escapes, it is a victory, and his family has his own feudal lord in charge, and Tokugawa Yoshinao, the feudal lord, is still benevolent and righteous, and yearns for samurai and ashigaru to be quite lenient, so these infantry and cavalry are fighting hard, hoping that the feudal lord can break out of the siege.
After these cavalry suddenly reappeared, they immediately divided into two groups, one rushed towards the Ming cavalry brigade, and the other group of more than 300 people did not go east. Rather, it suddenly turned south.
This greatly surprised the Broken Army, as expected. The Japanese broke out either to the east or to the west, which was the only passage for the cavalry.
However, the breakthrough of the feudal soldiers at this time showed that they did not want to flee along the official road at all, and they were going to flee into the mountains a few miles to the south, and they would rather flee over the mountains than fight with the broken army.
This is also a decision that breaks the kettle, and it is also a smart decision.
The Dongkou Breaking Army concentrated three thousand troops, and two thousand troops were intercepted in the west, and the south and north sides were considered empty.
The soldiers in the east began to urge the horses to chase after under the order of Wang Haizhou, but the hundreds of Japanese cavalry who met them entangled, although they were overwhelmed, but it was enough to block a stick of incense, you must know that this is not far from the mountains to the south.
When Tokugawa Yoshinao and his party broke through the encirclement, the westward thousand troops had already arrived quickly, and even if a temple was a large temple, the east-west direction was two or three miles away, so they also used the speed of horses to quickly approach the cavalry that broke through the Japanese people.
At this time, the Owari Domain's cavalry divided more than 200 horsemen and turned back to meet the cavalry coming westward.
The cavalry hooves on both sides collided with each other in the roar, and the cavalry of the Broken Army immediately discovered that these cavalry were simply playing with their lives.
They didn't care about their own casualties at all, they were all doomed moves, to put it bluntly, they used their lives to buy the most time for the feudal lord's escape.
Immediately, the screams continued to sound, and there were more of them the shouts of the Japanese cavalry, and in any case, their combat power was inferior.
But their goal was achieved, and the advance of the Ming cavalry from the west was completely blocked and dragged down.
On the contrary, the 1,000 teams behind bypassed the boundary of the battle in front and chased after the Japanese cavalry who were gradually running away.
There is still a mile close to the hillside, and the pursuit of the Ming cavalry has been effective, and the war horses of the Japanese people are indeed not angry, the horse speed is not fast, and the endurance is average.
At this time, more than 100 cavalry turned back to kill the Ming chasing soldiers, they are still the old routine, in order to block the Ming army, first shoot a volley of bows, and then draw out weapons to fight, the Ming people add knives and guns They don't look at it, but also the knives and guns are handed out, everyone is finished together, just to block the pursuit of the Ming people.
Tokugawa Yoshinao listened to the screams of his subordinates from behind, burst into the southern mountain with tears streaming down his face, and immediately abandoned his horse and Gu Zu, and disappeared in the night with more than 20 guards.
At this time, the more than 5,000 people of the abandoned Owari Clan's infantry team saw that the Ming people could not take care of them for the time being, and they all retreated back to the Dazenji Temple to defend.
Wang Haizhou couldn't take care of them for the time being, after all, the cavalry and samurai who were thrown away were what mattered, especially when he knew from the capture that there was Tokugawa Yoshinao, the lord of the Owari Domain.
This person is the uncle of the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the official rank is from the two great names, and he is a key figure, at this time Wang Haizhou can only lead three thousand teams to guard the thousands of prisoners of war here and monitor the remnants of the enemy in the Great Zen Temple, waiting for the news of the two thousand teams of the Broken Army in pursuit.
After the loss of 33 people killed, 9 seriously injured, and 23 lightly injured was reported to Wang Haizhou, Wang Haizhou hated it to the extreme, you must know how many people were injured in yesterday's battle, and so many people were lost in today's battle.
Wang Haizhou still despised the fighting power of the Japanese people and the so-called spirit of bushido, although the adults repeatedly told the commanders, but the successive victories still made Li Lu, Han Jian, Wang Haizhou and others despise the desperate fighting strength of the Japanese people, so that the dead fish also turned over.
When the last news came, although hundreds of Japanese cavalry were beheaded, more than 100 cavalry still fled. In particular, Tokugawa Yoshinao, the lord of the Owari Domain, the leader of the Wa people, fled. This made Wang Haizhou completely erupt.
That's not to say he jumped on the spot. It's a secret luck in my heart.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Wang Haizhou ordered the broken army to feast on the war meal, and at the same time ordered the prisoners of war to clean up after the war.
At the end of the morning, after daylight, Wang Haizhou ordered the soldiers of the Broken Army to gather all the Japanese prisoners of war.
Wang Haizhou ordered all the more than 300 warriors to be selected and killed immediately, and immediately, the scenes of wailing and begging and crying were everywhere, and some were indeed tough and constantly insulting.
Jiaxin and Bagen took the Jurchens to complete this work easily and happily. Turning a blind eye to their various accusations and insults, and making the soldiers of the Broken Army on the side stunned, it is indeed ruthless enough.
Hundreds of bloody heads of all shapes were piled up outside the monastery.
Wang Haizhou ordered the interpreter to tell the Japanese prisoners of war that they would either enter the temple and kill the Japanese of the Owari Domain, or they would end up with these hundreds of Japanese samurai, of course, if they killed a Japanese and checked their heads, the Ming masters could let them go home.
Wang Haizhou ordered the killing of the Japanese warriors, that is, to cut off the leaders who controlled these Japanese people, and the Broken Prisoners Army had a consensus at the moment. That is, the combat power of the Japanese people is mainly controlled by the middle and low-level samurai, and it is they who control the army to fight. Therefore, Wang Haizhou wants to abolish the minds of the Japanese people, so that Ashigaru is at a loss, and can only be at the mercy of the broken army.
With the shield too knife and ribs and so on issued to their hands, there are many people here who are ready to move, after all, the Ming people are too cruel, in the hands of the Ming people for a day, they can't be guaranteed to see the sun the next day, if they can get the head, it is to escape and ascend to heaven, and besides, do they have a choice, the thousands of Quanjia Ming troops behind them are staring at them viciously, if they don't follow immediately, they will be killed, and the hundreds of bloody heads will end together.
Driven by the Ming people, 8,000 Japanese prisoners of war marched to the east of the courtyard wall, which had collapsed more than ten zhang.
Inside the courtyard wall, the people of the Owari Domain, the Kaga Domain, watched in horror as the 8,000 prisoners of war approached.
They saw these Japanese people driving forward with weapons in their hands, and looked at the posture of the Ming people behind them to drive away the formation, and they finally knew that this was the Ming people's strategy to drive away the wolf and tiger, so that they could kill each other, and the Ming people did not lose a single bit.
Knowing is knowing, but there is no way, you can only follow the path of the Ming people, unless you are willing to let the other party cut off your head.
When the two sides approached fifty or sixty paces, the rifles of the two sides fired wildly, and countless Japanese were killed and wounded in the locust-like arrows, and then nearly 8,000 Japanese rushed into the wall.
Since the prisoners of war only had short blades, they suffered a great loss as soon as they came into contact, and more than 1,000 people were killed by the assassination of the opponent's spears, while the soldiers of the Owari domain only lost 200 people.
However, as the two sides collided with each other, the prisoners of war began hand-to-hand combat with short weapons, and the two sides began to stalemate.
The sound of shouting and crying soldiers and armor resounded through the Dazenji Temple, the place of Buddhism, and the fighting in the temple expanded from the courtyard to the main hall wing, and at this time the two parties completely forgot that they were both Kanto and Chubu lineages, because only one of them could get out of here.
The fierce battle inside even the broken army outside was smacked for it, and the Japanese themselves were also fierce when killed, and they were really a bloodthirsty tribe.
Wang Haizhou and the others were extremely fortunate at this time, if it wasn't for the huge advantage of the cavalry, if it wasn't for a sneak attack, they would have suffered extremely heavy casualties on this trip.
When all the hustle and bustle in the compound was over, all 5,000 people of the Owari clan were killed, and only 700 of the 8,000 prisoners of war walked out of Daizenji Temple, where more than 10,000 corpses flowed blood.
Of the 700, 200 died of their wounds, and only 400 returned to their hometowns.
Since then, Wang Haizhou has been named the Demon Haizhou by the Japanese people, and this Dashan Temple has been compared with the blood slope in the east by the Japanese people, and is called the Jiafei Blood Temple, which is the evidence that the Ming people committed many crimes in the Japanese country.
