Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 363 The Offensive and Defense of Annong County

The army of the Tokugawa shogunate is indeed more powerful.

Many of them have experienced the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka, and their combat experience is quite rich.

Moreover, their equipment is also quite excellent, and they are equipped with a lot of the most advanced soil guns in Japan.

It can be said that they are invincible in Dongying, and the infantry of Satsuma and Changzhou can't beat them. This has also been verified by the Sekigahara Battle.

It's a pity that what they met was the Ming army, and they were the most well-equipped elite of the Shenji Battalion among the Ming army's infantry.

These [-] elites of the Divine Machine Battalion can be said to be invincible in the world!
No matter in terms of quality of individual soldiers, weapons and equipment, or combat experience, they are far behind the elite of the Shenji Battalion.

The [-] Tokugawa shogunate's own army rushed over all over the mountains and plains, and the battle began immediately.

On the side of the Shenji Camp, guns were fired, and the dense shells and bullets wiped out the Tokugawa shogunate's own army almost instantly.

The main army of the Tokugawa shogunate immediately resorted to their signature tactics, charging in a self-destructive style, rushing desperately towards the stone fort built by the Ming army!
This tactic is still very powerful when charging at a short distance.

After all, no matter how many guns the Ming army has, it is impossible to wipe out these 5 horses in one fell swoop.

What's more, the elite of the [-] Shenji Battalion are scattered on the hillsides and mountains that are more than ten miles long, and they are only attacking the front of the hillside, and the muskets and artillery behind them cannot reach them at all.

Soon, the Tokugawa shogunate's own army rushed into the front line of several rows of fortresses and started a hand-to-hand fight with the elite of the Shenji Battalion inside.

Of course, the elite melee fighters of the Shenji Battalion are not vegetarians either.

He expanded from the Qi family army, and he was invincible in melee combat.

Moreover, the long weapons of the Qi family army were specially designed to deal with the short weapons of the Japanese pirates.

It's a pity that their wolf whisks were not brought here because of the trouble of transportation, otherwise, if these Japanese pirates rushed up to fight them in close combat, they would be courting death.

At this moment, because they didn't bring wolf whisks, coupled with the local number disadvantage, the Tokugawa shogunate's own army actually captured several fortresses, overwhelming the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion inside and had to retreat towards the mountains!
Fortunately, they were all wearing black iron armor, and there were many iron shields, so the casualties were not too great.

It's just that there is too much difference in their numbers, and they were squeezed out by others.

Hmph, how many of you are there?
Seeing this, Qi Jin ordered without hesitation: "Order, order all the soldiers in the fort behind to come out and line up, and follow me!"

After speaking, he drew out his saber and rushed forward with his personal guards.

Soon, more than 2 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were stationed more than ten miles behind rushed out of the stone fort, and rushed forward in small mandarin duck formations one after another.

The people on both sides gathered more and more, and the hillside less than five miles wide in front soon gathered nearly 10 people.

The invincible [-] troops of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan and the [-] elites of the Shenji Battalion who are invincible in the world fought frantically on this complex hillside.

In the beginning, the Tokugawa shogunate's own army could still gain a little advantage by relying on the partial number advantage.

However, after the [-] elites of the Shenji Battalion rushed up, they couldn't hold it anymore.

Because when they rushed up the hillside, thousands of people were overthrown by the guns of the Shenji Battalion. The total number of them was already one or two less than the Shenji Battalion, and with the disadvantage of weapons, how could they Might work.

The two sides fought for nearly half an hour, and the Tokugawa shogunate's own army couldn't hold it anymore.

Because more than half of them were casualties, and the [-] elites of the Shenji Battalion only had a few thousand casualties, and they were almost surrounded by the elites of the Shenji Battalion.

In this case, once you are surrounded, you will die!
In desperation, the leading general could only order to withdraw quickly.

If all the 5 people are here, the Tokugawa shogunate will not be able to suppress other princes!
This battle can be said to be the most tragic battle since the conquest of Japan. Hundreds of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were killed and thousands were injured!
I have to say that the combat effectiveness of these pirates is really strong.

Taichang has long been a bit anxious on the flagship, but there is no port nearby, and most of the sailors are musketeers, so landing on the beach will not have much effect.

He could only anxiously watch the battle situation with a telescope on the sea surface, but he couldn't help at all.

Fortunately, the elite combat power of the Shenji Battalion is still very strong, and they defeated the Japanese pirates in less than an hour.

As soon as the Japanese pirates receded like a tide, he ignored Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong's obstruction, and directly took the master guards on the cart and waded ashore.

When Qi Jin saw this, he couldn't help being startled. He quickly sent tens of thousands of people to protect Taichang.

Taichang still ignored the obstacles and hurried to the hillside where the fierce battle had just been fought.

He glanced around carefully, and then said solemnly: "This group of Japanese pirates has a good combat power. If half of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates have this combat power, the elite of the [-] Shenji Battalion may not be able to defend it." This way! General Qi, if the pirates attack with all their strength, do you have a countermeasure?"

Qi Jin hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the 5 troops led by General Qin are on the mountain road less than 10 miles away from here. If the general feels that he can't stand it anymore, he will call them over to help. It will not be a problem for tens of thousands of horses to rely on geographical advantages to hold this road."

Well, as long as there is a countermeasure.

Qi Jin is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. It is better for him not to interfere with him in specific combat command.

Taichang only hoped that the other Japanese pirates were not so powerful, otherwise, the Shenji Camp would suffer heavy casualties.

Other Japanese pirates are naturally not so powerful.

The Tokugawa clan only had [-] elites, and they killed nearly half of them in one fell swoop!
Toshiko Maeda was not surprised but delighted when he received the news.

Because the army of the Tokugawa shogunate had already figured out the situation of the Ming army, it turned out that there were only [-] Ming troops stationed on that road!
Moreover, after this battle, the Ming army suffered a lot of casualties.

As long as he leads the army to rush over, he will definitely get a big deal.

Even, it may not be possible to take down Ishimi country in one fell swoop and take back the Iwami silver mine.

If you don't pick up such big bargains, then you have a brain problem.

So, early the next morning, he gathered the remaining 30 people and rushed towards Annong County!
Qi Jin was taken aback by the dense army.

Obviously, the Japanese pirates are about to launch a general attack!

Without hesitation, Qi Jin ordered people to send an order to call Qin Minping's 5 troops to come to support.

Maeda Toshitsu also waved an army of 30 without hesitation, and launched a fierce attack on the hillside guarded by the Shenji Battalion.

All of a sudden, Japanese pirates were densely crawling on the hillside more than ten miles long, and the sound of shouting to kill even suppressed the roar of artillery!

The dense firepower network constructed by the [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion with guns and cannons caused such a large number of Japanese pirates to kill and was not enough to stop their crazy pace. Soon, they rushed up.

The two sides immediately launched a tragic hand-to-hand combat.

Maeda Toshitsu thought he was certain to win, 30 vs. [-], they just went through a big battle yesterday, with heavy casualties, can they win?

They really can't win!
Because these 30 horses are a miscellaneous army composed of genealogical daimyos and foreign daimyos, and they are nothing compared to the Tokugawa shogunate's own army.

Although their number was six times larger than that of the Shenji Battalion, the casualties they caused to the Shenji Battalion were not as many as the Tokugawa shogunate's own army. They even couldn't break through the defense line of the Shenji Battalion built by relying on the stone castle!

What is even more frightening is that less than half an hour after the start of the battle here, another [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rushed over. This time, the Japanese pirates were even more unable to resist.

As a result, the 30 mob was defeated by the Shenji Battalion in less than an hour!

In desperation, Maeda Toshitsu had no choice but to lead the remnant army to flee all the way, and fled back to Izumo country.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but feel very annoyed. He knew that the Japanese pirates' hundreds of thousands of troops had such combat power, so he should have ordered the remaining 10 horsemen from the Shenji Battalion and the 15 infantry from the Shenwu Battalion to open their pockets on the outside, and cover all of them in one fell swoop. Hundreds of thousands of pirates!
