Chapter 134: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
A steady stream of Fusang soldiers rushed towards the Zhou army, the front ones were killed on the ground, and the Fusang soldiers behind stepped on their corpses and continued to rush forward.
Under this death charge, after the death of 20,000 Fusang soldiers, they also found some experience, that is, lying down and crawling.
It will be difficult to hit the fire gun on the opposite side of the crawl forward, which can be regarded as a little experience summed up by the Fuso soldiers with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
After paying for the lives of another 5,000 Fusang soldiers, they finally climbed more than ten meters in front of the soldiers of the Zhou family, and as long as they rushed one more wave, they could rush in front of the Zhou army.
When the Fusang soldiers were about to rush to the front of the Zhou army, another 20,000 Zhou soldiers came to the rear of the Zhou army, and with the addition of these 20,000 Zhou soldiers, the Fusang soldiers who climbed to the front were all wiped out.
Seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side came to support again, the Fusang soldiers behind must have fled back, joking that the Ming army just now let their side lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now there are more Ming troops, and there will definitely be no chance on their side.
With so many people fleeing, the Overseer couldn't control it, and when Matsudaira saw this, he knew that there was no way to continue fighting tonight, because the soldiers had lost their morale.
After Matsudaira Tadanao sighed, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and after receiving Matsudaira Tadanao's retreat order, his generals also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly conveyed the order.
After the Fusang soldiers received the order to retreat, they hurriedly retreated to the amnesty, these Ming troops were really terrible, and tens of thousands of Fusang soldiers died before they could rush in front of them.
Seeing that the Fusang soldiers had fled, the Zhou family army also stopped shooting, and Xiang Shaoyun did not order a pursuit, because it was night, and the pursuit would cause a lot of unnecessary casualties.
Matsudaira Tadanao fled overnight to Isahaya Prefecture, 40 miles away from Nagasaki, before stopping.
After being re-stationed, Matsudaira sat down temporarily and listened to his generals report the losses of the battle.
When he heard that more than 70,000 Fuso soldiers had died in this battle, Matsudaira stood up violently and shouted angrily: "It's all a bunch of waste, 200,000 troops sneak attacked 50,000 Ming troops and killed 70,000 samurai, it's really a great shame." ”
The generals below lowered their heads and trembled, and none of them dared to speak to defend themselves.
After scolding for a while, Matsudaira Tadanao discouraged his anger, and he also realized that these generals could not be blamed for all these casualties, mainly because the Ming army's firearms were too powerful.
After thinking for a while, Matsudaira Tadanao spoke again: "Send people to the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain immediately, and ask them to send troops and horses to help us exterminate this group of Ming troops, okay, you all go down." ”
All the generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and after saluting Matsudaira Tadada, they walked out one after another.
At this time, in the temporary residence of Nagasaki Shuxian, all the officers gathered in the hall.
"This time, more than 70,000 Fusang soldiers were exterminated, and the remaining 130,000 Fusang soldiers fled to Isahaya County, 40 miles away."
Xiang Shaoyun is making a report on this war.
"This group of Shogunate Fuso soldiers must be exterminated as soon as possible, they will definitely ask for support from the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain, pass on my order, the whole army will rest for five hours, and after five hours send troops to Shohaya Prefecture."
After listening to the report to Shaoyun, Zhou Xian immediately gave an order.
The officers did not raise any objections and went down one after another to make arrangements.
The next morning, the soldiers of the Zhou family, who had breakfast, set off.
Since the county was only 40 miles away, the Zhou army's rapid march took just over an hour to arrive at the county.
Matsudaira Tadanao had just received the news that the Ming army was coming, and he was immediately shocked and hurriedly summoned all the generals, but before he could give orders to the generals, he got the news that the Ming army had appeared outside the city of Isahaya County.
Ihaya County is a small county town, and the city wall is only two meters high, so it is actually of no practical significance to say that it is a city wall.
Due to the suddenness of the Zhou army, there were only a few thousand Fusang soldiers on the city wall, and when they saw the tens of thousands of troops of the Zhou family army coming, they were immediately frightened and their legs weakened.
As soon as he arrived in the county seat, Zhou Xian did not talk nonsense and directly ordered the siege of the city, this time Zhou Xian decided to seize the city wall and come to close the door and fight the dogs.
After only three rounds of shelling, the Fusang soldiers on the city wall ran down the city wall, and this time the Zhou army brought a siege ladder and climbed directly onto the city wall.
There were still some Fusang soldiers with arquebuses in the city, and when they saw the soldiers of the Zhou family army climbing the city wall, they shot one after another, and only a dozen soldiers of the Zhou family army who could not dodge were shot and fell.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Zhou family army on the city wall immediately angrily began to shoot at the Fusang soldiers with arquebuses.
These Fusang soldiers with arquebuses suddenly fell to the ground, and they no longer dared to stand there and shoot at the Zhou family army on the city wall.
More and more soldiers of the Zhou family army climbed the city wall, and the county was just a small county town, with only one long city wall, and only one city gate.
When Matsudaira Tadanao got that the city gate had been occupied by the Ming army, he was shocked, this city gate was the only exit, and now it was occupied by the Ming army, so wouldn't he have become a turtle in the urn.
Matsudaira Tadanao immediately ordered that the gate should be taken back no matter what, and after receiving the order, the generals left one after another to give the order.
Soon 100,000 Fusang soldiers rushed to the city gate under the leadership of the general, but when they reached 400 meters from the city gate, the Zhou army opened fire.
It is now daytime, and the soldiers of the Zhou family army aim better, and the shooting accuracy has been greatly improved.
Because Matsudaira Tadashi gave a death order, even if there were big casualties, the generals behind didn't care, and kept urging the Fuso soldiers to advance.
Kobayashi Fuji is a Fuso general, and he is now holding a katana to slash at the Fuso soldiers who refuse to come forward, slashing and scolding "Yaga Ya Road" while chopping back. ”
Just as he was scolding, suddenly a big hole appeared in his head, blood and brains flowed out together, and the person fell down at once.
The Fusang soldiers next to him didn't understand what was going on, and they couldn't figure out how Kobayashi Fuji was more than 500 meters away from the city wall, how could they be hit by the Ming army's firearms, they just had a question, and since they couldn't figure it out, they didn't think about it anymore.
Now that no one forced them to die, of course they didn't dare to step forward again, just squatted there and watched the other Fusang soldiers rush.
This kind of sudden headshot of a general happened all the time in the entire Fusang team, and it was not until no more Fusang soldiers rushed forward that everyone found that all the senior officers and generals were dead.
It was the special forces who caused the sudden deaths of Fuso officers and generals.
Because yesterday was night, the vision was not very good, and it was not clear who the officer was, so there was no action, and today was the first time that the special forces were fighting, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
