Chapter 463: Counting is Counting

"Attack!"

"ๆฎบใ™ (kill)!"

With the loud battle cry of the Japanese infantry, the Japanese army poured like a tide towards the defense line built by the Xia army outside Shengshan City.

"Fire!"

Rumble โ€“

After the Japanese army attacked the firing range, the Xia army's artillery opened fire one after another, and one after another shells roared into the crowd, forcibly plowing a bloody path in the crowd, and all those who were hit by the shells were all torn apart, and it was difficult to save the corpses.

"Raise your gun!"

In the Xia army's position, the line infantry all stood behind the chest chest wall, raised their rifles in the officer's order, and aimed at the Japanese infantry who were advancing suddenly.

The Japanese soldiers in the charge suddenly fell in pieces under the shooting of the Xia army, some Japanese soldiers burst out in front of them in front of the blood mist, the whole person fell forward according to inertia and could not get up again, some Japanese soldiers were unfortunately shot in the head by lead bullets, although there was only a small bullet hole in the front, but the back of his head has been blown open a fist-sized hole, blood and brains sprayed on the people behind him.

There was no doubt that the Japanese army was high-spirited, but under the ferocious firepower of the Xia army, their fighting spirit, no matter how high, was quickly worn out by the increasing casualties.

In the massive number of casualties of the dense firepower, the Japanese army was already routed one step ahead of the Xia army before it even touched the position of the Xia army.

The huge casualties made Rokujo really clutch his sideburns in pain, he had already prepared in advance that Xia Jun might be difficult to entangle, but who would have thought that Xia Jun was so terrible that his subordinates were defeated before the melee battle.

Therefore, Rokujo Yuma had no choice but to order to stop the attack and set up a long encirclement network on the periphery of Katsuyama Castle, intending to trap all the Xia troops in the city inside, and at the same time he also reported the situation here to Abe Tadaaki, reminding Abe Tadaaki that even if he was fighting on land, he should be careful of the Xia army's firearms.

That's the only thing he can do at the moment.

This siege is a full ten days, in order to rescue the soldiers and horses of Shengshan Castle, but also to severely damage the Japanese army under the command of Liujo Youzhen, the fourth town that has been transferred from Fenghou to Nagato under the order of Su Fu, with Hao Shaoqi as the main general to Katsuyama Castle, intending to attack the Japanese army with the defenders in the city.

But Rokujo Yuma was not a fool, and after learning the news that the Xia army's reinforcements were coming to this side, he decisively chose to withdraw his troops, and Katsuyama Castle was thus relieved.

The liberation of Katsuyama Castle did not mean that the war had subsided, and the 4th Brigade of the 1st Town, which was stationed at Katsuyama Castle, immediately joined up with the 4th Town and pursued in the direction of Rokujo Yuma's retreat.

As a result, while contacting the surrounding Japanese troops, Rokujo Yuma began to look for a suitable ambush location and retreated there, while the Xia army continued to pursue and vowed to destroy this Japanese army.

After two days of pursuit, Rokujo Yuma finally got a response from the surrounding Japanese troops, and in order to prevent the Xia army from stopping the pursuit, he divided a small force as a bait to lure the Xia army to continue the pursuit.

However, what he didn't expect was that the messenger he sent to communicate with the surrounding Japanese troops was intercepted by the Jinyi Guards who had been deployed in advance by the Xia Army in his country on the way, and the Jinyi Guard, dressed as Japanese, only used a few tricks to make the messenger tremble and tell everything he knew. โ€ฆ.

Subsequently, in order to prevent the army from being ambushed, Jin Yiwei hurriedly sent the news to Hao Shaoqi's big tent, who knew that Hao Shaoqi laughed after reading the urgent report sent by Jin Yiwei, and said to the generals around him:

"I knew that this group of would-be would-be tricks were playing to lure us deeper and then destroy us."

After finishing speaking, he let out another sneer: "I just don't know who will be destroyed in the end, just like that sentence, how to say it, I don't know who killed the deer!"

Hao Shaoqi, who learned of the Japanese army's plan, decided to make a plan, he ordered the Fourth Brigade of the First Town to stop the pursuit, and with Jinyiwei as a guide, he rushed from the path to the periphery of the battlefield preset by the Japanese army.

subsequently

, the Xia army continued to pursue the Japanese army.

Everything went according to the six real plans, and Xia Jun stepped into the trap prepared for them step by step.

On the first day of the ninth month, near the mountain castle of the barren mountain city of Nagato country, the Xia army stepped into the ambush circle according to the expectations of the six true people, and after the Xia army's front army passed, only a cannon sound was heard, and a round of dense black arrow rain suddenly rose in the surrounding mountains and forests, falling into the Xia army's army formation below like raindrops.

The Xia army that was ambushed was immediately killed and injured by the rain of arrows, but to the surprise of the Japanese army, the Xia army did not panic after being ambushed as they imagined, but quickly made a posture to meet the battle, and the front army also returned in time.

Seeing this, Rokujo Yuma hesitated for a while, but still decisively ordered the whole army to attack, and as the melodious sound of the horn sounded in the basin, the Japanese army came from all directions and poured towards the Xia army inside the basin.

The Xia army quickly formed a formation to meet the enemy, they dragged the infantry artillery to the front of the formation, and fired at the onrushing Japanese army with shotguns and line infantry, accompanied by a deafening cannon sound, thousands of marbles erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and swept forward in the shape of a fan, everywhere they went, the Japanese army fell in pieces like ears of rice after autumn.

Even in an ambush, the Japanese still paid heavy casualties during the attack, so they still could not break through the Xia army's firepower network.

On the other side, the rumbling artillery of the Xia army spread far away, and the Fourth Brigade of the First Town, which had been ambushed on the periphery of the battlefield in advance, immediately dispatched, and the brigade commander rode on horseback, drew his saber, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers:

"Soldiers, the friendly army is deeply surrounded by the Japanese army, let's rescue the friendly army and kill all the Japanese invaders!"

"Kill all the pirates!"

The soldiers echoed loudly, and ran quickly along the mountain road towards the battlefield with neat steps, and appeared on the periphery of the battlefield in less than half an hour.

The sudden attack from the side and rear caught the Japanese army by surprise, and Rokujo Yuma heard the gunfire from behind him, his heart tightened suddenly, and he turned his head like a reflex, and saw this scene that made him desperate - countless Xia soldiers rushed out of the mountains and forests shouting slogans and exchanged fire with the Japanese troops outside the battlefield.

The unsuspecting Japanese troops in the rear of the opposite flank tried to counterattack after being attacked, but they were soon routed under the fierce attack of the Fourth Brigade, and the Xia soldiers immediately stepped on the blood and corpses on the ground and continued to advance into the battlefield.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Japanese army was finally defeated on all fronts, and the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and all the mountains around this basin were all panicked and fleeing Japanese troops, who were like a flock of weak sheep under the pursuit of the Xia army, and only cared about fleeing for their lives.

Tears.
