Chapter 767: Falling into the Passive Western Army

The armies of Soyoshitomo and Shimazu Yoshihiro soon collided with the armies of Shimazo and Gamo Cottages, the birds of both sides fired projectiles at each other, the samurai drew their family swords and fought together, the sound of birds firing on the battlefield, the sound of swords and guns colliding, and the sound of wailing in the end were mixed together, and the battle of thousands of people attracted the attention of more than 100,000 people, whether it was Tokugawa Ieyasu or Ishida Mitsusei knew that although the scale of this battle was small, it was a major matter related to each other's morale, and if either side lost, it would be at a disadvantage in the next battle, So don't be sloppy.

They were all nervously watching the two armies in the middle of the battlefield, and Li You was the same; But after watching it for a while, he lost interest, the individual martial arts of these Japanese warriors may still be qualified, but there is not much to observe in terms of battle formations, compared to the Qi family's army, no wonder they will be defeated by the Zhejiang soldiers in Korea.

In that case, let's hurry up and end it! Li You, who had lost his patience, took out the sky-shaking bow from behind him, slowly pulled the bow and wound it, aiming at the island left near in front of him.

With a sound of strings, the eagle arrow instantly crossed a long distance, flew over the heads of the Shimazu army, and directly hit the throat near the island; Before the Western army on the opposite side could react, the second feather arrow hit the Gamo cottage again; At this time, the Western Army was still far from Li You's position, and this kind of miraculous archery technique shocked both sides on the battlefield, and they were stunned for a while.

"What are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and kill the enemy! Li You shouted to Zong Yoshizhi and Shimazu Yoshihiro, these two people just reacted, and hurriedly commanded their own army to rush towards the Western Army, the Western Army lost its command at this time, and was shocked by Li You's amazing archery skills, and suddenly lost the desire to fight, and retreated to Daheng City, and it was really unwise to retreat before the battle, just cheap Zong Yoshichi and Shimazu Yoshihiro.

The samurai of the clan and the Shimazu clan each took the lead, screaming and beheading the Western army, and let out bursts of cheers; Especially the Shimazu family, who have always had a high proportion of samurai and are very loyal to the Shimazu family, now that they have picked up the opportunity to build up their military exploits, will they not use all their might? In a few moments, the 1,000 men and horses sent out by Ishida Mitsunari had been completely defeated and killed by them, and only more than 100 people were left to flee back to Daheng Castle in a hurry, and the morale of the western army became low, while the eastern army led by Tokugawa Ieyasu gave a tsunami-like cheer, and no longer had the initial panic, and the morale gradually rose.

Zong Yoshitomo and Shimazu Yoshihiro came back, and hurriedly reported the results of the battle to Li You, and dedicated their captures to Li You. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's envoy also arrived here and greatly rewarded Munakashi and Shimazu Yoshihiro.

These two guys, who made a big splash under the gaze of the big names in the world, suddenly smiled, and they couldn't close their mouths happily, this is a record that they can brag about for a lifetime!

After the defeat of Shimazo and Gamo Cottage, Ishida Mitsunari also realized the difficulty of his opponent, and even the armies of the Zong family and the Shimazu family could defeat them, so how powerful would the Ming army be? Li You didn't let him wait long, so he ordered the gunners of the Zheng Jiajun to push the cannon down in front of the formation and aim at the Daheng City in front.

More than 20 years ago, in the famous Battle of Nagashino, Takeda Katsuyori's cavalry attacked Oda Nobunaga's camp, but they were quickly blocked by the horse barrier, at this time Oda Nobunaga's musketeers began to release their guns, muskets in addition to the range of bows and arrows, but also frightened the horses, after the three rows of guns were spared, Takeda Katsuyori's cavalry was either killed by guns, or trampled to death by horses, or the horses lost control, a great chaos, the elite cavalry run by the Takeda family for generations - Akabei was completely defeated.

In view of this, the various daimyo of the Wa Kingdom began to gradually attach importance to the role of muskets, and the quality and equipment ratio of muskets once exceeded that of the Ming army, of course, this is also related to the complex terrain of the Wa Kingdom, which is mountainous and hilly, and lacks a plain terrain suitable for cavalry to exert its impact power; However, they were far inferior to the Ming in the application of artillery, and the high price of artillery made the impoverished Japanese daimyo unable to equip this weapon of great destruction, so the Japanese rarely considered the threat of artillery when building cities.

The same is true of Daheng City, Ishida Mitsunari and others also quickly learned a lesson, the cannon dismantled from the warship broke out with a huge roar, the sound was earth-shattering, and the horses of the eastern and western armies continued to let out Herod's cry, and began to jump in panic, and many warriors who were caught off guard were thrown off their horses.

If it was usual, these warriors would definitely provoke the ridicule of their companions, but at this time no one paid attention to them, everyone on the battlefield widened their eyes, staring closely at the place where the cannon was targeted, after several rounds of test firing, finally a cannonball hit the wall of Daheng City, and several large holes suddenly appeared in the city wall, and the masonry was broken and splashed all around by the cannonball, and the two sides on the battlefield suddenly sounded an exclamation; Even those daimyo who had participated in the war of aggression against Korea were no exception, and these artillery fires were much more powerful than those used by the Ming army at the beginning!

This is also a reasonable thing, after all, Zheng Chenggong's army came from later generations, and the cannons they used were naturally much more advanced than those used by the Ming army today.

"Mingguo's firearms are really powerful!" A cannonball hit the gate of Daheng City, and the gate made of thick wood was immediately torn open, and the soldiers guarding here hurriedly went up to block the city gate with other things regardless of life and death, and this scene fell into the eyes of Ishida Mitsunari, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"It seems that we can no longer be trapped in this city." Uta Kihide said in horror, fortunately, at this time, the Ming army was aiming at the city wall, and if the cannonballs were fired at the head of the city, there might be casualties.

"Alright, that's all for today." Zheng Jiajun's shells and gunpowder are still very valuable, Li You doesn't want to waste them all here, he just needs to let Ishida Mitsunari know that Daheng City is absolutely undefensible, and leave the rest to Tokugawa Ieyasu and them to do.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming army, Ishida Mitsunari and others breathed a sigh of relief, but new problems followed, and now Daheng Castle can not continue to hold on no matter what, but if you want to go out of the city to fight, can these troops beat Tokugawa Ieyasu's army? The Western Army fell into passivity.
