Li Rusong shouted violently, and took the lead in the Maori Huiyuan main formation, pointing directly at the general of the devil.
It stands to reason that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry attacked from the rear, and at the beginning, it was able to hide the sight of the devils after sparing most of the circle, but it was difficult to hide from the enemy when the rear was launched. However, Maori Terumoto, Konishi Yukinaga, and Shimazu Yoshihiro were dragged by the Qi family army under Wu Weizhong because of the light enemy at first, and the cavalry under Zhang Shijue and Yang Yuan on both wings attacked rapidly, and the devil soldiers were defeated and retreated.
As a result, Shimazu Yoshihiro was besieged by the Qi army, and Mori Terumoto and Konishi Yukicho were overwhelmed by the fierce offensive of Zhang Shijue and Yang Yuan. Constantly dispatching troops, wanting to block the Ming army that was killing head-on, and at the same time rescuing the main force of the devil soldiers and Shimazu Yoshihiro who were surrounded by the Qi army, so that the attention to the rear was neglected, so that the Liaodong iron cavalry was killed from behind, and the devil woke up like a dream.
Five thousand Liaodong iron cavalry slaughtered into the devil's main formation like a whirlwind and clouds, and Maori Huiyuan, who had less than 10,000 people, was the opponent, so he had to order Konishi Xingchang to fight against Li Rusong's iron cavalry.
"It's a motor! The people of the Ming Kingdom are really cunning! Konishi-kun, you must take a thousand men to block the cavalry of the Ming people, Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa will come soon, we will definitely be able to save our lives if we stick to the place like this" While commanding his subordinates to resist to the death, Mori Terumoto ordered to Konishi Yukicho.
"I was stupid to believe your nonsense. The situation is not right, so let's rescue Yoshihiro Shimazu and escape. As long as you flee back to Pyongyang City, relying on the strong and tall city walls, there is nothing that can't be done" Hearing this, Governor Konishi secretly scolded Mori Terumoto for being stupid, and at the same time prepared to break through according to his own ideas.
If you want to say that others are coming to reinforce you, Governor Konishi must honestly follow Maori Terumoto's orders and fight desperately to wait for reinforcements. But it was Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa who came to reinforce him, and Konishi Yukinaga understood that he would never wait for reinforcements unless he died in battle.
As long as it is the people under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they know that the governor of Konishi and the seven guns of the cheap mountain under his command are like fire and water. And Kiyomasa Kato and Masanori Fukushima are the representatives of the seven guns of Shidaku. On weekdays, both sides carry Toyotomi Hideyoshi on their backs. In secret, you come and go, fight openly and secretly, I don't know how many beams have been formed in the road, all of them want to kill the other party and then hurry up.
At present, Konishi Yukinaga is besieged by the Ming army, and Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori are eager to borrow the hands of the Ming people. Kill the old enemy, and then take advantage of the defeat of both sides. Kill and clean up the mess and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop. Immortal feats! Unless their brains are in water, they will definitely not rush to reinforcements as Maori Terumen said.
And Maori Terumoto didn't know what President Konishi was thinking. In fact, he did it on purpose: as soon as Konishi Yukicho broke through, he had an excuse to put the blame for the defeat on Konishi Yukicho, and he could also take the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet and escape.
Before Mori Terumoto surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was a great prince of the Ten Kingdoms, and in the Nobunaga era, he fought with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Honganji area, and had an extremely powerful naval division in Haihai. Mori Terumoto used to be the biggest trouble for the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, and then although he was defeated by the Nine Demons by the Water Master, he finally gave up Honganji, and finally surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi after defeat, but in his bones Mori Terumoto looked down on Toyotomi Hideyoshi at all: How can a guy from a pariah background be worthy of such a position as the shogun?
With this in mind, although Mori Terumoto was afraid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's powerful force, he was respectful and obedient to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but secretly kept in touch with Tokugawa Old Turtle and Uesugi Kenshin, ready to overthrow the rule of Monkey Taiko at any time.
The most unlucky Shimazu Yoshihiro may also have a little idea, but unfortunately this unlucky child has now been surrounded by hundreds of elite groups of Qi family troops led by Wu Weizhong, and it is a luxury to save his life, let alone other ideas.
"Kill!" Under the protection of the guards, Li Rusong directly entered the middle of the devil army, and split a devil general who was blocking the way in half with a single sword, and killed towards Maori Huiyuan's main formation without slowing down.
Honjin is a Japanese term that was used to refer to the location of the headquarters of the general on the battlefield before the Warring States period. The devils generally like to use a lot of wood and cloth to enclose a place on three sides, leaving only the frontal observation of the battlefield, and make a horse to sit in the main formation to command the battle. Li Rusong's goal is to enter the main camp and cut off the heads of Mori Terumoto or Konishi Yukinaga in one fell swoop, completely shocking all the devil troops in Korea.
Originally, the son of a daughter could not sit down, but since the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Red Flame Legion had greatly improved in terms of quantity and quality, whether it was the Liaodong Ten Blades or some of Li Chengliang's old brothers, they were not very much in favor of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and others taking the lead in the charge like ordinary soldiers.
After all, now that the dangerous mountain army has become a system of its own, it is outside the entire regime of the Ming Dynasty, and the safety of the Li family's father and son has affected the interests of too many people.
In desperation, Li Rusong chose a compromise method, and Monk Lingqin led an elite army carefully selected from the Liaodong Iron Cavalry as his own escort to fight with him. After all, he really couldn't bear the feeling of watching the excitement in the rear, which may be the reason why Chang Yuchun had to take the lead in the spring back then, right?
As the Liaodong Iron Cavalry gradually approached Maori Huiyuan's home formation, Governor Konishi, who ostensibly agreed to Maori Huiyuan's orders, also began to act: The cunning Governor Konishi did not turn around and run away as many people expected, but concentrated hundreds of elite samurai, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qi family's army to surround and kill the devil's vanguard army, and broke through the encirclement of the Qi family's army in one fell swoop.
"Shimazu-kun! Hurry up and fight your way out of my way and retreat to Pyongyang City! In one fell swoop, he rescued Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was surrounded by the Qi family's army, and Governor Konishi hurriedly joined forces with him, shouting Shimazu Yoshihiro's nickname loudly, while ordering the soldiers to break through to the left flank where the two armies were fighting.
Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was finally rescued, was not stupid, and Konishi Yukicho made him understand in a few words, knowing that Maori Terumoto actually planned to take himself as a death, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, leaving tens of thousands of ashibashi alone, with thousands of elite troops who left the battlefield, and followed Konishi Yukicho quickly to the left flank of Yang Yuan's guard.
Li Rusong on the other side concentrated the main force of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry at this time, and had already killed through the rear army of the devil and approached the Maori Huiyuan main formation. Maori Terumoto was so busy running for his life that he didn't have time to command his subordinates to fight, and the entire army of devils was completely caught in a situation of fighting on its own.
"Yaga! Governor Konishi, you dare to disobey my military orders, do you really think that my Maori family is muddy? This time I must investigate to the end, I will fight you to the death! Panicked, under the protection of several samurai, Mori Terumoto stepped onto a war horse and galloped wildly, cursing angrily.
Konishi Yukinaga and Shimazu Yoshihiro, who escaped here, actually didn't fall well, and just broke through the entanglement of the Qi family's army, they were fiercely blocked by Yang Yuan.
As a well-known and stunned person in the Liaodong Army, when he saw that there were devils who wanted to break through from his side, Yang Yuan's first reaction was excitement, and his second reaction was anger: It's a good thing to have devils fighting, but why Mao is concentrated and ran to me? I feel like Lao Tzu is a bully, right? It's no wonder that I don't kill you.
Yang Yuan, who was furious, immediately gathered more than 1,000 cavalry and thousands of infantry, and personally put on the battle to take the lead in the charge, and beat Konishi Yukinaga and Shimazu Yoshihiro back. At the same time, Wu Weizhong, who felt that something was wrong, divided hundreds of Qi family troops and outflanked them, vowing to completely kill this devil soldier here.
At this time, the 50,000-strong army of the devils had completely collapsed, and the vanguard army was cut into pieces by the Qi family army like cutting meat, and it was only a matter of time before it was divided and destroyed. The two wings were even more beaten by Yang Yuan and Zhang Shijue, and there was no resistance at all.
Li Rusong, who had defeated Maori Huiyuan's main formation and saw that Maori Huiyuan had run away, had discovered the abnormality of the left flank of the battlefield at this time, and had mobilized thousands of Liaodong iron cavalry to move closer to the left flank.
At this time, the devil soldiers, especially Ashigaru, had long lost the courage to fight, and they let out a scream like cattle, threw their weapons on the ground, and skillfully raised their hands to show surrender. It seems that this is not the first time these guys have done this kind of thing, but it is a pity that the red-eyed Ming army does not pay attention to whether the other party surrenders, and cuts it when he sees a devil, and many devils are cut off in such a daze.
The few samurai who were still stubbornly resisting were even more miserable, they were surrounded by Ming troops several times their size, and their swords were raised and cut into pulp!
The corpses of the devils on the entire battlefield were piled up like a mountain, the blood flowed like a river, and countless devil heads were piled up, and the Ming army won a complete victory! (To be continued......)
