Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Defeat the central Ming army before they are defeated. Isn't this kind of gambling style battle the favorite of the Japanese? Besides, they have the advantage in military strength - this time the "joint battle", the Japanese army outside Pyongyang There are almost more than [-] people, and almost all the main generals of the nine armies are there, except for Governor Konishi who led some troops to garrison Pyongyang.

At this time, the Ming army had less than 3 men, and Yang Hao and other generals led other troops to take a detour dozens of miles away.Qi Jiguang did not panic at all. He was also observing the cavalry attacking the Japanese defenders who were desperately blocking them. General Ma Feng, who was promoted from the three battalions of the cavalry, did not let the cavalry continue to attack. Instead, he wandered around the outside to exert pressure, looking for the Japanese. gap.

Qi Jiguang nodded, "It's okay." The cavalry fulfilled his pre-war request very well, which was to drive the main force of the Japanese army to attack his infantry and artillery brigade, and then serve as the hammer and the infantry as the anvil to completely crush the main force of the Japanese army.

The Japanese charge was also mixed, with riflemen and iron artillery teams intersecting, but when the distance was still 600 meters away, the Ming army opened fire.This time, 48 six-pounders were brought in, and dozens of shells were dropped at once to create a series of bloody alleys. The power of the shells at this distance is not that exaggerated. If you are lucky, you will be able to kill or wound three or five people.

But it is very uncomfortable to fight like this. Fortunately, the Ming army turned off after a few rounds.There are only more than a hundred Japanese troops on the front line so far, and their morale is still there, and they are advancing under the shouts of the captains of the reserve teams. "It's really colorful." Looking through the monocular telescope, Qi Jiguang could see that many Japanese generals had strange and huge decorations on their heads, which also made him a little amazed.

Of course he knew the effect, but he was still very surprised by the Japanese imp's style.The Japanese army was approaching 100 meters away, and all the field artillery had been loaded with shotshells and ready. The Japanese iron artillery opened fire, but the Ming army had shields. The hit rate of the lead shot fired from 100 meters away could be said to be tragic.

At a distance of 50 meters, Qi Jiguang ordered to raise his guns and prepare to fire. At this time, there were about [-] musketeers in the Ming army. They used the flintlock guns that Bai Lang took out - which will be gradually changed to needle-punched breech-loaded percussion guns in the future. , after the problem of the flash cap was solved, it was actually because the flints obtained by the Ming Dynasty were not very good at producing fire.

Following the whistles of frontline officers, muskets and field artillery fired simultaneously.

This blow was deeply remembered by everyone. Many people will never forget the scene of this day until their death. When the Japanese survivors returned to Japan in the future, they recorded this joint attack by artillery and musketeers in various notes. , "The country collapses!" is their unified tone.Even Qi Jiguang had never seen such a landslide-like attack. The huge sound lasted for several seconds, and the entire battlefield was completely covered by smoke.

The Ming soldiers in front could not see what was going on on the other side. Anyway, the officers did not stop and they continued to load the ammunition in a mechanized manner and fired one after another. The artillerymen also kept loading shotguns or shells and firing until the barrels were heated and needed to be cooled down. until.

The Japanese army never emerged from the smoke.

On the battlefield, the Ming army ceased fire one after another. The musketeers took the initiative to retreat and loaded their bayonets, while the spearmen and shield soldiers pushed forward, carefully trying to advance the front line. The cavalry who could see the situation were the cavalry attacking from the side and rear , they cheered and quickly sent cavalry to the Chinese army to send messages.The cavalry of the Ming army had discovered the total collapse of the entire Japanese front. After the smoke covering the front line was blown away by the wind, Qi Jiguang, who was standing on the high ground behind, could also see clearly—this was an unprecedentedly miserable battlefield.Just now the Ming army's shelling and musketeers fired in bursts, and the attack on the brave forward of the Japanese army was extremely terrifying. From 50 meters away to about 100 meters, there were many mutilated dead people lying there.

Qi Jiguang was a veteran of wars. He estimated at a glance that in this round of strikes, at least [-] Japanese troops were killed or seriously injured on the entire front. At the very least, they had completely lost their will to fight, because the Japanese troops behind had already begun to fight. They fled, just like ants who exploded their nest.

In the attack just now, I don’t know how many “famous generals” of Japan’s Warring States Period died like this in the front line, but it is true that many of the flags fell directly. Even the flag of Ukita Hideie’s general general has stopped moving. , showing signs of running backwards.At this time, the Ming army's cavalry had reorganized and began a full-scale assault.

The Ming army in front of them also began to advance amidst the sound of drums, vowing to crush the entire Japanese army with one blow.
When Bailang received the document reporting the victory of Babaili Lubu, the cleaning of the battlefield had already been completed for three days, and Pyongyang had been recaptured.The more than [-] Japanese troops entrenched around Pyongyang were completely defeated in the "Pyongyang War". After the Ming army regained Pyongyang, they pursued for dozens of miles and captured [-] Konishi Yukinaga, Fukushima Masanori, and Mori Terumoto. The remaining people.More than [-] levels below Kato Kiyomasa, Kuroda Nagamasa, and Kobayakawa Takakage were killed, and the rest fled.

With just this thunderbolt, the Japanese war against Korea was almost brought to an end. You must know that the casualties reported by Qi Jiguang were only over a thousand, of which cavalry lost more than [-] and infantry lost more than [-].This is also a great victory for the country. The remaining Japanese troops are abandoning the previously occupied Korean states and counties in large numbers, retreating to the south to shrink their troops, and even seem to be fleeing back to Japan by boat.

"Alas, this is a happy killing for Marquis Qi!" Bai Lang sighed, and North Korean officials and civilians reported victory one after another, and Yang Hao also reported victory, repelling the Japanese army and killing thousands of people, chasing after the Japanese army, The heads of fleeing Japanese soldiers beheaded by North Korean officials and civilians were constantly collected.

The monkey should be angry to death.
The casualties were too tragic. More than half of the 16-strong army that conquered the dynasty was lost in one battle, and many good generals were lost.Now he was afraid that he would have trouble even suppressing Japan, and Bailang ordered the captured Japanese generals at all levels to be sent to the capital. "The numbers of these people in Shinno are not low. I want to see what kind of monkeys they are." Variety."

Bailang felt that for a monkey trick, he had to force Old Turtle to lead the army into North Korea to stabilize the situation - and then it would be great if he was killed by the Ming army.As for the conquest of Japan, Bailang had no idea. He only planned to let the navy kill the Japanese navy first, and then bombard the Japanese ports to force the founding of the country. It would be disgusting to actually send troops to fight against the terrain of Japan.

With so many various cities in their country, the cost of suppressing the entire Japan is very high, so it is better to resort to economic plunder.
