Chapter 105: Victory is at hand
When the distance between the two sides reached within 100 meters, the battle officially began, and the Ming army began to release arrows.
However, the Japanese army did not fight back, because their bows were poor, and they had to carry several waves of arrows to counterattack.
When the Ming army fired a volley, Zhu Jinghong was not idle, and opened his bow and arrows to shoot at the Japanese side.
This played a very good role, and there were already more than a dozen Japanese generals who were shot and killed.
"Guys, I'm okay with this archery, right?" Zhu Jinghong smiled left and right.
At this moment, everyone is not just verbally applauding, it is really convinced, and I am afraid that few people have this ability since ancient times.
Under the reverent gaze of the surrounding guards, Zhu Jinghong continued to shoot with his bow and arrows, and then another Japanese officer was shot.
Officers are the skeleton of the army, and among the 500 Japanese pirates, there are only 20 or 30 officers, plus the elite backbone at most 70 or 80.
The people who were taken away by Zhu Jinghong in a few minutes dealt a serious blow to the command system of the Japanese Kou.
In addition, the Ming army rained arrows one after another, which made the Japanese army unstable, but these people were stunned and did not escape.
"Steady ......"
Okamoto Masaei hid in the crowd, as did his officers, which made Zhu Jinghong unable to shoot.
The two armies were getting closer and closer, and soon they were seventy meters away, and the Ming army had stopped, and the large shields and spears lined up to meet the enemy, followed by the crossbowmen who continued to shoot.
They carried enough arrows for "ranged" suppression.
On the other hand, on the side of the Japanese army, their crossbowmen also began to fire arrows, but only to suppress the Ming army, so that their warriors could get close to the Ming army.
Okamoto Masei knew very well that their advantage was short-handed, as long as they carried the rain of arrows and rushed into the Ming army, they would basically win this battle.
At least past experience tells Okamoto that is the case.
Of course, braving the rain of arrows to force the attack, it also brought great casualties to the Japanese army, and at least hundreds of people have fallen to the ground.
This scene also made Zhu Jinghong frightened, and secretly said that these gangs really had some skills.
What surprised him the most was that these Japanese generals were all dead, and they still had such a tenacious will to fight.
Wouldn't such a country let him grow up, isn't it a problem for my confidants?
I don't think it's enough to just suppress the Japanese invaders, and after returning to the capital, I have to find a way to let the old man crush Japan to death on the island.
The hatred of the past and present lives made Zhu Jinghong murmur in a low voice: "If you don't kill them, I won't be able to sleep!" ”
The other side of the Japanese continued to approach, and these people were almost all holding shields, and it was not easy to shoot them.
Of course, this was not difficult for Zhu Jinghong, and in the blink of an eye, he sent away more than a dozen.
The guards on his left and right, not all of them were dry, and they also sent away thirty or forty of them under the fire.
When the distance between the two sides was already within ten zhang, I only heard the Ming army and thousands of households confused: "Stabilize the formation and prepare to meet the enemy......"
As soon as his words fell, the Japanese army in front of him rushed with a roar, showing their teeth and claws.
To be honest, the army that followed Zhu Jinghong lacked combat experience and was weak-willed, and most people were panicked at the moment.
Soon the two sides were entangled together, and there were only more than 200 Japanese robbers who rushed over, which made the oncoming Ming army unable to parry.
Zhu Jinghong wanted to go up and fight, but was stopped by the guards, so he could only continue to shoot.
From the beginning to the present, Endeavor has shot more than forty arrows with all his might, and even though he has strong physical strength and feels sore shoulders, he still pulls the bowstring.
In the battle between the two armies, he is the only one who has the right head and can hit the enemy in the struggle.
"Thirteenth Master, look at the ...... over there," Zhang Lin pointed into the distance.
Zhu Jinghong looked around, but saw that among the crossbowmen in the distance, a few people beat horses and walked out of the row.
Those who have a little combat experience know that those people should be the current commanders of the Japanese army, and they are observing the situation at the moment.
"Could it be that the young man in the middle is the leader of this gang of pirates?" Zhu Jinghong was a little puzzled.
With the idea of stabbing two poles with or without dates, Zhu Jinghong opened his bow and aimed at the front.
At the other end, the general of the Japanese army spoke: "Young master, I am afraid that this battle will be difficult to win, or we will withdraw!" ”
The Ming infantry had at least 700 people, and the Japanese army rushed up to only 200 people, and the Ming army did not collapse under one blow, and it was impossible to win quickly.
And the Japanese rely on courage and quick victory, and if they can't do it, they have to run away quickly, and then look for the next fighter.
"If there are no sharpshooters in the Ming army, and all the generals are there, how can our army ......?"
didn't wait for Okamoto Masei to finish speaking, he heard someone in front of him shouting: "Young master, be careful!" ”
The sound of breaking the sky was too familiar, and after hearing it, the samurai on the left and right all moved closer, and they formed a human wall.
The arrow stabbed directly into the man, and the huge force pierced it, and the arrow hit the armor on Okamoto's chest.
Such a momentary situation of life and death, when Okamoto Masaei was bold and reckless, he was also frightened at this moment.
If he hadn't pulled it clean before the war, I'm afraid that he would have been incontinent now.
"Young master, go quickly......"
Pulling the lost Okamoto Masei left and right, he sent it into the crossbowman, and it took a while for this guy to come back to his senses.
Okamoto has always thought that he is very brave, and he doesn't care about killing people and even enjoys it, but when his life is threatened, he knows that he will be afraid too.
"Young master, the war is unfavorable, let's withdraw quickly......" left and right began to persuade again.
At this time, Okamoto Masaoei also recognized the reality, and got on horseback surrounded by left and right, intending to abandon his subordinates and run away.
In the distance, looking at the few people who were on the horse to escape, Zhu Jinghong confirmed his judgment.
So he looked at Hou Jing and said, "Did you see those people on the horse?" ”
"See!"
"You take twenty people and get the others back for me, whether they live or die!"
Since it's getting it back, it's definitely better to live it.
Although Hou Jing didn't know the bottom in his heart, how could he weaken his momentum at this time, and immediately replied: "The minister will go all out!" ”
Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "That's a big fish, I'll give you credit for catching it!" ”
Everyone who heard these words was itching, Zhu Jinghong asked Li Wenzhao for credit, and this guy was promoted to the capital, and the guards knew it at this time.
At present, in the eyes of those who know, although Zhu Jinghong is a little reckless on weekdays, he is a person who can handle things when he speaks.
So the "benefits" he prescribed, the guards were convinced.
Therefore, at this moment, all the guards hope that Hou Jing can order himself, so that they can make some credit together.
Although the promotion of the Dragon Guard is fast and the starting point is high, its interior is also very volatile, and every year there are people who are released when the deadline comes.
If you don't want to go out, there are only two ways, either to accumulate merit and be promoted, or to be more valued or trusted by the emperor, and be transferred to the Qianqingmen guard in one step.
If he is released, whether he goes to the Beijing camp or guards to the direct army, it will be a long process of seniority, and there will be greater competition for promotion in the future.
Of course, only those who pursue these difficulties will have them, and it is very comfortable to choose to lie down, but the family is doomed.
Soon Hou Jing chose his manpower, beat his horse and chased after the fleeing people, and soon disappeared into the wilderness.
On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army that rushed to the front had lost its sharpness, and at this moment it had been surrounded by a large number of Ming troops, and was fighting the trapped beasts.
The time before and after this battle only took more than ten minutes, but a large number of corpses had fallen on the field.
"Kill them all......" The Ming army cheered loudly.
"Kill ......"
The soldiers yelled, they had found confidence.
Victory is at hand!
