Chapter 147: The Ming Army is defeated
"Order the forward battalions to block the attack of the Japanese Invaders for me!" Liu Shengxiu shouted loudly.
"Order!" The herald hurriedly answered, and then ran to deliver the order.
"Bang bang bang!" The little devil was still a few hundred meters away, and the Ming soldiers began to shoot, but such a long distance was beyond the effective range, and the Ming army's move was tantamount to wasting bullets in vain. Naturally, such an attack could not have any impact on the little devil's attack, and the little devil still charged forward regardless of the bullets in front of him.
The bravery and ferocity of the little devils made the Ming army on the front line can't help but have an illusion, are these little devils not human, and they are not afraid of guns at all? Ming Jun, who was already faintly afraid, became even more scared at this time. But fortunately, the facts quickly proved that their guess was just an illusion, although the little devil is not a human, the gun will bleed when hit, and he will be killed instantly if he hits the vital point. But the soldiers of the Ming Army were even more afraid, because although the guns and cannons could kill these little devils, these little devils didn't care at all, and still charged forward without hesitation, as if they didn't see their comrades falling down one by one.
"These widows are all crazy, they are not afraid of death at all!" As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of being cross, you are afraid of not dying. These little devils in front of them are a bunch of crazy people who don't want to die! These Ming soldiers who can only build embankments and build dams have seen such a posture, the little devils have not rushed over, and some people can't help but want to escape, and the Ming army, which is already unstable, is suddenly in chaos, and the little devils on the opposite side are still charging forward without hesitation.
"Pass the order, dare to disturb the morale of the army, and retreat without authorization, all of them will be punished on the spot!" Liu Shengxiu was already in a cold sweat at this time. As soon as the battle began, the Ming army was already a little weaker in morale first, which was definitely not a good sign. At this time, Liu Shengxiu couldn't help but doubt his decision, maybe he shouldn't have made such a hasty decision to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the field, but unfortunately it was already night!
"Poof!" A little devil took the lead in rushing to the position of the Ming army, the bright bayonet mercilessly stabbed into the chest of a Ming soldier, the bright red blood slowly flowed out along the bayonet, the Ming soldier stared at the hideous little devil in front of him in disbelief, and fell down unwillingly.
Although this little devil was then hacked to death by the Ming soldiers next to him, at this time, more little devils rushed up and strangled with the Ming soldiers on the position.
"Hold on! Resist Lao Tzu! Whoever dares to retreat without permission is the end! A Ming military pipe pointed to the ground, and a Ming army deserter who had been hacked to death by himself shouted.
But this qiē was all in vain, as more little devils rushed to the position, one after another Ming soldiers began to join the queue to turn around and flee, only a very small number of Ming soldiers stayed behind and fought with the little devils! But this can't stop the little devils who are pouring in like a tide.
"The military gate, the Japanese are powerful, and our army is not well prepared, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the attack of the little devils. It's better to temporarily retreat to Qingxian, block the little devil with the help of the city wall, stabilize the position first, and then plan to attack! This is a strategist under Liu Shengxiu's account, and he couldn't help but mention yì.
Liu Shengxiu looked at the former army that had already appeared like a rout, and couldn't help but hesitate. "Retreat now, if the Japanese take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, it is likely to lead to a rout on the whole front!"
"Report~! When we opened the military gate, we found the Japanese on the left and right wings of our army, and they were outflanking our two wings, apparently trying to surround our army! Just when Liu Shengxiu was hesitating, the latest situation from the scout became the last straw that crushed Liu Shengxiu!
"These little devils of the dog day, I cǎo his eighteenth generation ancestor!" Liu Shengxiu couldn't help but scold.
"Military gate, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid it's too late, once our army is surrounded by enemy troops, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out!" The advisor from earlier persuaded again.
"Shut up!" Liu Shengxiu couldn't help but reprimand loudly, then turned around and ordered, "Order the whole army, the rear team will change to the front team, and retreat in the direction of Qingxian at full speed!" ”
"Order!" Looking at the moment when the herald turned to leave, Liu Shengxiu couldn't help but sigh, "Retreat!" Liu Shengxiu yelled to vent the anger in his heart, then turned on his horse and whipped north.
"Yo Xi! Big drop good! Nagayama Tetsushiro excitedly put down the binoculars in his hand, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The Ming army has begun to retreat, order the troops to attack with all their strength, and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop!" In addition, inform Sakuma-kun and Kuroki-kun to cooperate with us to annihilate the Ming army. ”
"Hay!"
Liu Shengxiu's retreat order, all units of the Ming army rushed to flee for their lives, but the Japanese army pursued and attacked fiercely, and soon the Ming army completely evolved from retreat to rout. The 2nd and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army attacked the Ming Army from both flanks, which accelerated the collapse of the Ming Army! The 20,000 Ming army was instantly defeated by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army pursued and killed along the road, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties. Along the way, corpses were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed. And even if the soldiers of the Ming Army who escaped their lives were too embarrassed to abandon their armor at this time, many of them were empty-handed, and the guns, ammunition and other things that affected the escape did not know where to throw them.
"Report to Your Excellency the Commander! The main force of the Ming army has been completely defeated by the locust army, and the Ming army is being defeated in the direction of Qingxian, and now the locust army is pursuing the Ming army with all its might! ”
After receiving the news, Dashanyan, who was resting in Cangzhou City, couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Yo Xi! Well done, tell Sù Nagayama-kun, Sakuma-kun, and Kurogi-kun, and I'll personally ask the emperor for credit for them! In addition, the 7th Division was notified to continue to pursue the Ming Army and advance in the direction of Qingxian, making a feint attack on Tianjin. The 2nd and 6th Divisions were ordered to immediately stop the attack and secretly advance in the direction of Ayutthaya. ”
"Hay!" The adjutant replied respectfully, turned and strode away.
Dashanyan ordered the 2nd and 6th Divisions to stop advancing northward and turn to the northwest, with a very obvious intention, leaving a 7th Division to feint in Tianjin to attract the attention of the Qing army, while he himself personally led the main force directly to Beijing. Dashanyan made such a decision out of helplessness, the Japanese army's ammunition is running out, and the main force of the Qing army is constantly rushing from Liaodong to reinforce, they don't have much time now, although Dashanyan is not completely sure that he can capture Beijing, but at this time the Japanese army has no way out, can only make a desperate bet!
"May Amaterasu bless your brave people with a victorious victory, capture Beijing in one fell swoop, and defeat the Qing Empire!" Oyama prayed silently in his heart.
