The Japanese people of this era have a very primitive style of dressing, messy hair, clothes and armor, and short stature reveal a symbol of barbarism and perversion.

In particular, when the 150,000 Japanese troops gathered in Shimonoseki Castle, the formation was like a group of yaksha attacking, cooing and chirping, and it seemed that the middle two were full of spirit.

Sakai Tadashi, the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wakuni Edo Tokugawa Shogunate, stood proudly on the shore outside Shimonoseki Castle with a small fan, as if he had no memory of a defeat in Nagasaki, and said to his subordinates in a grunt:

"The Ming people are heavy on firearms and light on fighting, but firearms are not omnipotent, the weather will change, and when the heavy rain comes, Sakai Tadashi you will take 30,000 of the most brave shogunate warriors to kill, the Ming army's firearms will inevitably fail under the heavy rain, and then it will be the time for you to show your might."

A young Japanese general named Tadashi Sakai called "Haya", pulled out his bright sword, and shouted under the cloudy Shimonoseki Castle, and the 30,000 Japanese samurai behind him also chirped, looking very arrogant and strange.

……

On the side of the Ming army, neat soldiers and grass-roots officers stood at the forefront, forming several camps with battalions as units, among which the infantry and artillery cavalry were alternately staggered and sorted, so that the advance and retreat were well-founded, and the two wings should be safe.

The soldiers all wore steel helmets with red tassels, ear protectors on both sides, white clothes and cotton armor, chain arm guards and chain leg guards on the wrists and below the knees, and combat boots on their feet.

The infantry in the front row was also equipped with rattan plates to protect against enemy bows and arrows.

However, the rear infantry were all armed with Chongzhen 36-style rifled rifles, with bullet clips around their waists, five earth-shattering thunderbolts hung on their backs, and backpacks containing special logistics baggage for individual soldiers on their backs.

The junior officers are turned into iron helmets, covered with cloth iron armor, with shawls and epaulettes on their shoulders, and are armed with the same rifled rifles as the infantry, but they do not carry backpacks, but they have military binoculars, and they are mostly equipped with a Xuan-colored Han sword, and they are responsible for standing at the front and commanding.

High-ranking officers do not wear armor, but mostly use python robes as their coats, and the commander will wear chain mail and chain legs for the sake of his identity, all of which are arrow sleeves, and hold command knives similar to embroidered spring knives.

The high-ranking officers were accompanied by police officers armed with submachine guns with two base clips around their waists, and grass-green howitzer cannons and hand-cranked machine guns and mortars neatly followed the machine gun battalion like accompanying steel beasts, standing behind the Chinese army battalion.

……

At this time, the two 5,000-ton steam-sail dual-powered warships of the Navy's Beiyang Fleet also began to whistle from the east and west directions of Xiaguan Haikou.

The thick white smoke contrasts with the dark clouds in the sky, and the huge armor-wrapped hull is like a blue whale pushing the waves forward, and the sail warships that follow behind it are like a group of great white sharks cruising.

The current combat mode of the Ming Dynasty has a bit of a situation of advancing by sea and land, and the 150,000 Japanese troops in Xiaguan City and outside the city in front of them are just a pile of grass in the center of the road in the eyes of the Ming army at this time.

……

Bang!

The torrential rain poured down like the Milky Way from the sky for nine days, and the sea and land were splashing everywhere.

The Ming army and marines who had just been ready to assemble were washed by the rain and their eyebrows and jaws were dripping, the steel guns in their hands were overflowing, and the armor was full of rain, but the entire Ming army was still motionless.

The sky began to get a little dark, but fortunately, lightning accompanied by huge thunder pierced the sky, illuminating the sea and land like a silver apocalyptic world.

The rain crackled metal on the iron-clad battleship, and the crackling of sails seemed to be even louder.

The thunder continued to explode in the sky above.

But at this time, the Japanese troops in Shimonoseki City cheered.

The heavy rain seemed to really give them hope, and with the Japanese sword in hand, they bared their teeth and drove the small boat to rush towards the Ming army camp, shouting: "Kill the chicken!" ”

It seems that he is going to fight to the death with the Ming army.

……

The Ming army also began to attack.

It was getting late, and the army came from Oita and Saga to the sparsely populated northeastern part of Kyushu, and if they did not take advantage of this to attack Shimonoseki Castle, take the mountain pass, and obtain sufficient provisions, the army would no longer be able to support it, and would have to retreat to Oita.

To this end, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong issued an order for a general attack.

Two iron-clad giant ships and more than a dozen first-class battleships formed a city wall, blocking the coast of Xiaguankou and blocking the Japanese army's attack on this side with artillery, while the Ming army and marines rowed transport wooden ships to prepare for a forced landing under the escort of the giant ships.

The large wooden transport ships like dragon boats are long and narrow, and can transport hundreds of troops, which is suitable for military transportation in the narrow sea mouth.

At this time, the Ming army took such a wooden transport ship to the opposite bank of the lower pass at a high speed, like a carp crossing the river shuttling under a huge ship, and quickly approached the coast of the lower pass.

……

The Japanese troops, who had also arrived by boat, had just been bombarded by hundreds of guns from naval warships and countless shotguns and bullets.

One by one, the Japanese soldiers were killed in the sea like dumplings in soup.

Sometimes an entire Japanese wooden boat was destroyed, sparks flew everywhere, and the whole river was a sauce-red color for a moment.

The 30,000 Japanese troops were beaten to pieces, with countless casualties, and only a few Japanese samurai escaped ashore.

Sakai Tadashi, the Japanese elder on the shore, was already shocked when he saw the giant ship appear: "When did the battleships of the Ming army become so big!" ”

And when the artillery and muskets of the Ming army were wantonly strafing the Japanese troops rushing to the opposite bank, this Sakai Tadashi shouted even more: "How come, how come, how can it be like this, such a heavy rain, their firearms can still be used!" ”

"Let them come back, let them come back!"

Sakai Tadakiyo, the elder of the Japanese army, realized that he had given the wrong order, and hurriedly shouted for his 30,000 troops to withdraw, but it was too late at this time, and he could only watch his 30,000 Japanese troops being wiped out at sea.

……

The Ming troops landed on the shore one after another, and the infantry began to shoot the Japanese samurai in front of them with their guns, shooting them to the ground one by one.

At this time, the arquebus in the hands of the Japanese samurai became a burning stick, and the Japanese sword could only be used to cut the stomach, and they hurriedly withdrew to Shimonoseki Castle.

Waiting for the machine gun battalion to land, the Ming army began to prepare to bombard the city, and after a round of shelling, the city of Shimonoseki became a ruin.

The Ming army rushed over like a tide.

And the Japanese soldiers in big pants ran barefoot in the direction of the mountain pass under the leadership of the Japanese army elder Tadashi Sakai: "Mom, Mom! ”

The cavalry of the Ming army pursued over, at first they still used guns, but then they were too lazy to use guns, so they directly slashed with knives, one by one, and in a few strokes, the entire road from Xiaguan to the mountain pass was full of blood.

In less than an hour, the Ming army successfully occupied Xiaguan, landed on the mainland of Honshu of the Japanese Kingdom, and defeated the main force of 150,000 Japanese troops of the Japanese Army.
