Chapter 1130 Ming Army 11 Japanese pirates 6000 (two in one [-] words)
"There are more than a thousand Japanese pirates on the right trying to charge!"

"Datong Thousands go to meet the enemy!"

From the encampment to the battlefield under judgment, it is not going to be peaceful and straight. When the camp was stationed, the Japanese pirates began to send out harassing troops one after another, but at that time the defense was so strict that there was no way to take advantage of it. Now the army is marching , The marching team is easy to break into chaos, and this is also an opportunity for Japanese pirates to seize.

But for a strong army, on such an occasion, as long as they don't make mistakes, these harassments are not a big trouble.

The marching army is surrounded by scouting horses from various teams, scouting the surrounding enemy situation, and reporting back at any time. Although it is July and the vegetation is lush, there is flat land around this Seoul, and it is not easy to find a hiding place. easy.

After a few questions and answers, the Datong cavalry on the right immediately began to break away from the brigade and rushed towards the Japanese pirates. The battle was very simple. In such a terrain, there was no suspense when the cavalry and infantry were fighting with the same number. The archery on the horse disturbed the Japanese pirates array, and then smashed their brigade and completely strangled them.

After hearing the reward, Wang Tong gave a few words of encouragement, but surrounded by his personal guards, he went to a certain highland on the side of the road. Under such a flat terrain, the so-called high places are just hills, but they can already Look far enough.

Most of the personal guards are new to the battlefield. Although they have fought all the way from Hamgyong Road, it is the first time they have participated in a decisive battle of this scale today. When they reached a high place and looked in the direction of Seoul, everyone calmed down. Wang Tong smiled and said to Sha Dongning beside him:
"In the past, it was always said that there were millions of troops, but after careful calculation, this is the first time I have seen the scale of 10 people. It is really dark and boundless!"

As the commander of the personal army, Sha Dongning habitually looked around even though his own army was marching beside him, and he replied to Wang Tong after finding nothing unusual:
"What the commander said is that this is indeed shocking, but they are all local chickens and dogs, not the opponents of our army."

Wang Tong smiled and said, "Help me stabilize the horse." Two personal guards came over, and Wang Tong got off the stirrups and stepped on the saddle, wanting to see the battlefield more comprehensively.

The terrain on the battlefield has been made into a sand table, and it is clear from top to bottom. What we need to know now is the formation of the Japanese pirate army, which can only be known on the battlefield.

Although there is still a distance, because the Japanese pirate army is too large, we can already get a rough idea here. The army of about [-] is centered around Seoul.

Of course, the array is still some distance away from Seoul. The left and right wings of the entire array are abnormally thick, but the central army is relatively weak.

"There are also concerns. We still need to use the advantage of numbers to surround our army and ask for a scuffle!"

After Wang Tong had finished watching, he sat on his horse and shook the reins, and returned to the main formation. The first attack would naturally attack the enemy's weak points, outflank the thick wings, and then submerge them with crowd tactics.

This tactic is quite satisfactory, but in the frontal battle where such a large army collides in the narrow terrain of the Korean Peninsula, this tactic is very effective. It also shows that the generals of the Japanese pirates had to fight the Ming army, but there were no stupid tricks. Still sober.

**************
The cavalry cruising around the brigade of the Ming army has become a brigade of hundreds of people. The enemy will not let you calmly line up on the battlefield, and will continue to send troops to harass, and even the whole army may make a surprise attack. Going out is to deal with it in the first place.

Seeing such a large number of cavalry activities, the Japanese pirates did not take any action. Since they made contact with the Ming army cavalry in Ping'an Road, the Japanese pirates have not taken advantage of the Ming army cavalry.

"Damn, they have occupied the dry ground by themselves, but we have to walk in this muddy ground!"

Outside of Seoul, there are large expanses of paddy fields. The Japanese soldiers and horses also need the food obtained from these paddy fields, but they can't take care of them now. However, the formation of Japanese soldiers and horses put the Ming army in a muddy position as much as possible.

Mu En on the artillery team was cursing and arranging for his subordinates to set up positions as soon as possible. A very important link in the battle of the Huwei Army is the position of the artillery positions. He is the strongest voice of the attack, almost the starting point .

Scolding and scolding, in fact, there are ways to deal with it. I have already thought of this when I was watching the formation. Many people in the frontier team carried sandbags. After the artillery team determined the position, they began to use sandbags to lay the ground. The strength of the crowd is reflected here, and soon there will be a dry and hard ground.

Horses and oxen dragged and pushed, and the cannons were sent to the position.

"Commander, the enemy is divided into four groups, each with 3000 people, rushing to the left flank of our army!"

As the old saying goes, the enemy will not give you time to prepare. The watchtower in Wang Tong's army sent the enemy's movement to Wang Tong's side.

"The Jurchen team is attacking, the Datong cavalry is attacking, the Liaoxi cavalry is attacking, and meet the enemy nearby!"

Wang Tong said, the messengers galloped out immediately, and the distance between the formations of the two sides was about [-] steps, leaving little room for the cavalry to maneuver.

The first contact involved the input of nearly ten thousand people, and it was difficult to say whether it was a test or a war. However, as soon as the Japanese pirates lined up, they saw that the cavalry of the Ming army had also been mobilized. The Japanese pirates ordered the soldiers to gallop on horseback, and the fourth team that was about to move back again.

You move, I move, you don't move, I don't move. After the initial temptation, the battlefield that was still a little noisy just now gradually became quiet. All regiments of the Tiger's Might Army, frontier infantry, cavalry and artillery came to report the situation. After the position was completed, during this period, the battalion leaders from the Nine Sides were also amazed at how the imperial army settled so quickly.

The sooner you can enter the position and set up your position, you can enter the battle as soon as possible, and seize the opportunity in the battle. Watching the various regiments of the Imperial Army get ready, compared with their own, it is indeed admirable.

The formation of the Ming army is obviously centered on the Forbidden Army, and the other teams cooperate. After the Forbidden Army is in place, the rest of the teams also take their positions calmly.

10,000+ armies confronted each other on the battlefield, and the battle was imminent, but after a brief contact, neither side made any new moves, and the battlefield was temporarily quiet.

But in this quietness, there is an uneasy and restless atmosphere. People are okay, but the horses are a little uneasy. Wang Tong reached out and touched the mane on the neck of the mount, and said with a smile:

"It is said that the Li family is under the city of Pyongyang, just like a drama, fighting alone with a Japanese pirate general with golden armor. Li Rubai is still boasting about his bravery with everyone. Why don't the Japanese pirates do this today."

Sha Dongning just laughed at the side, and Wang Tong continued with a smile:

"Since the Japanese pirates don't make such false texts, let's do it, strengthen the morale of the army, and follow the pre-ordered instructions!"

Sha Dongning immediately received the military order, turned around and shouted a few words, a group of cavalry obeyed loudly, and they all started to act.

When it was quiet, suddenly a cavalryman ran out from the formation of the Ming army. Anyone who could see this side was attracted to it. Could it be that the Ming army would also send someone out to make an appointment, but the cavalry Why dragging something like a long flagpole upside down? This is not the rule for playing singles.

The cavalry ran out of the formation, but erected the flagpole, and did not run towards the Japanese pirate army, but ran along their own formation, shouting something from time to time.

Five hundred steps apart, the battlefield was already noisy, and I couldn't hear what the other party was shouting. I only knew that after the shouting over there, cheers gradually sounded from the Ming army formation, and the answer was soon known here. It is dilapidated, but the things and patterns hanging on it can be vaguely seen clearly. It is the horse seal of Kato Kiyomasa, the commander of the Second Army. Insisting on Hamgyong Road, they finally confirmed after seeing the horse seal that the Second Army had been destroyed.

The cavalry ran around, and ran towards the Japanese pirate formation again. When it was two hundred steps away from the Japanese pirate formation, it swaggered and threw the horse seal on the ground, and then turned the horse back to the formation. The front line of the Japanese pirate formation Both the samurai and the ashigaru felt heavy in their hearts for a moment, and no one was furious and went out to chase.

Kato Kiyoshi is one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's most trusted generals, and one of the so-called Seven Guns of Jianyue. He has always been famous for his bravery and bravery. "Ha", beheading more than a thousand people in the territory greatly demonstrates the reputation of bravery. The second army led by him is also composed of elite veterans. With such a force, they were beheaded and captured the flag. How strong is the Ming army?

This side was worried, and the cavalry over there ran out of the formation one by one, holding a pole of flags and horse seals in their hands. The Japanese pirates looked at them from top to bottom. Famous or unknown generals and battalions, as can be seen from these flags and horse seals, some small families have become completely famous since then.

Every cavalryman was describing who the Japanese pirate was, how he was beheaded and captured the flag, and how many beheads he had been beheaded. After they finished speaking, they ran to the formation and threw the flag on the ground. Afterwards, I couldn't hear what I said, only wave after wave of cheers.

In the middle of the formation, flags of various colors were already piled up in a pile. The morale of the Ming army was high, while the morale of the Japanese pirates was extremely low. Everyone knew that it was impossible to go on like this.

From the ranks of Japanese pirates, cavalry cavalry carrying brightly colored banners can be seen galloping forward. A team of more than [-] people rushed out from the right wing and went straight to the left wing of the Ming army.

"Toda Katsutaka, the Fourth Japanese Bandit Corps!!"

Someone reported the name of this person beside Wang Tong.

"Order Mo Rigen to lead Qianqi into battle, defeat the enemy and retreat, there must be no mistake!"

The order was issued, and after a while, I saw the cavalry general Mo Zhigen leading the cavalry to meet him. Just now, the captured horse seal and battle flag were displayed in front of the battle. When Mo Rigen played, many people were envious.

However, the battle did not happen. The Japanese soldiers and horses sent such troops just to restore the morale that was getting lower and lower. More than 4000 infantry had no advantage at all in front of more than a thousand Ming cavalry.

The enemy soldiers and horses retreated, and Mo Zhigen didn't have time to pursue them, so he turned his horse around resentfully, and he could see the horse messengers with their backs resting on the flag running back and forth among the Japanese pirates.

This time it should have really moved. On the right flank of the Japanese pirate formation, over ten thousand soldiers and horses were divided into three large formations, pressing towards the left flank of the Ming army.

The cavalry teams of the Ming army were all placed on the right wing of the entire formation, and a few of them maneuvered between the infantry formations. The force on the left wing was more than a thousand cavalry, and the rest were infantry.

When infantry is deployed, the right flank is the strong side, and it is common sense to use your own strong side to attack the enemy's weak side.

"Commander, more than ten thousand Japanese pirates are moving towards the left flank of our army, and want to attack the left flank of our army."

"Marshal, this is the team of Konishi, the first Japanese pirate army."

"Send Sun Xin, the left wing, and now I will assign the Jurchen team to him to smash the Japanese pirates' attack and prevent the Japanese pirates from forming a siege. The fifth regiment will cooperate with Sun Xin!"

The order was conveyed quickly. Jurchen's nearly [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry also started to move to the left. From right to left, it is not simply the first to sixth. Sun Xin is the head of the regiment. The fourth regiment is on the left wing of the army, because Sun Xin is good at defending and is extremely resilient, while Chen Dahe of the fifth regiment is temporarily subordinate to Sun Xin, and it is reasonable to rank them according to seniority.

The Japanese pirate soldiers and horses are at the forefront of the cavalry, and there are nearly a thousand of them.

The width of the Japanese pirate formation was far greater than that of the Ming army. His right wing was not directly facing the left wing of the Ming army, but the gap. In fact, the three teams had to turn after a certain distance and turned into an attack. The flanks of the Ming army array had the strongest frontal resistance, but not the flanks. When they turned to meet the enemy, mistakes were prone to occur.

Moreover, what the Japanese pirates invested in this side was an absolutely superior force, and they didn't just attack in one direction, they could attack from several directions.

This concept is common in this era, but it is not applicable to the Huwei army, which is proficient in formation. The width of the Ming army's formation is small, and the team mobilization time is faster than the Japanese army.

The Jurchen team is the name for the Jurchen cavalry, infantry, and horses in the army that entered the dynasty this time. The messengers arrived here just after delivering Wang Tong's order, and the Jurchen brigade also arrived.

Sun Xin briefly talked to the leader of the Jurchen, and began to give orders. The fourth and fifth regiments began to turn.

If the remaining soldiers and horses, the brigade of nearly 4000 people, were to change, there would definitely be chaos, but in the two regiments of the Imperial Army, it was just a simple movement.

"It's tough!"

In the formation of the first Japanese pirate army, not only one person said this sentence, but at this point, it is impossible to back down.

"I have tried it with North Koreans. If there are not too many firecrackers, brave soldiers can rush to the front of the opponent's formation. Everyone, it is today to serve the country faithfully!"

Someone shouted loudly in the team, and everyone responded loudly, and many even howled.

Compared with the Japanese pirate team that was gradually going crazy, the two regiments led by Sun Xin were much quieter. They turned according to the drill, separated, and the firecrackers ran to the front of the queue to prepare for shooting.

"I'm injured, Xiao Biao, you are the head of the regiment, you don't have too many plans, the fourth regiment and the fifth regiment will not retreat!"

Sun Xin said firmly, Li Xiaobiao, the deputy of the regiment beside him, nodded heavily, and the officer of the firecrackers in front had already ordered loudly:
"Free fire after three bursts!!"

After the nearly thousand cavalry of the Japanese pirates simply lined up, they began to attack the flanks in a detour, but they moved left and right, and there were cavalry from the Ming army on both sides. There was no choice or hesitation, and they rushed directly to the front.

On a large level, the two sides are trying to move, and when it is refined into specific battles, there is no trick. The Japanese pirate cavalry moves in the front, and each battalion is led by a samurai. , Just follow the cavalry and start to trot. The firearms of the Ming army are indeed sharp, so I will use my life to fill your shots, and then confront each other face to face.

"Fire!!"

Within the shooting range, the gunfire soldiers opened fire one after another, the Japanese cavalry fell directly, the horses rolled on the ground, and the cavalry on their backs fell off. This is not the trouble, but the follow-up cavalry must jump up to avoid, or Get out of the way, the cavalry is already about to run, and if you change your movements and directions, you will lose your balance.

However, it did not affect the forward momentum of the brigade. The three rows of firecrackers finished firing very quickly, and the first row of soldiers who retreated had mostly finished loading and fired again. People kept falling down and screaming. , Many people may not have been killed by gunfire, but under such momentum, it is difficult to get up after falling to the ground, and they are directly stepped on by the horses and people behind them. They may not die the first time, but they will definitely not live in the end.

The enemy rushed closer and closer, and the firecracker officer began to order to retreat. After three bursts of firecracker fire, only one more row of soldiers had time to load and shoot.

The gunfire soldiers retreated into the protection of the spearmen. This action was extremely skilled. The spears in the spear array also fell forward row by row, showing a posture of refusing horses. Inserting the short sword into the muzzle of the firecracker is also a spear action, and the people behind are nervously reloading and preparing.

"Order the Jurchen team to attack, attack the enemy they are facing!!"

Sun Xin faced the enemies rushing forward with an ax in his hand, and roared loudly. The formation of the Tiger Mighty Army was as solid as a rock, but the formation of the Jurchen supporting one side was different. Although the Japanese pirates focused their attacks on their two regiments, If the Jurchen array has been on the defensive, it will continue to be driven to attack. If it collapses, the flanks will be in danger.

Wang Tong led the cavalry brigade all the way south from Xianjing Road, plundering like fire. Sun Xin also heard a little about the bravery of the Jurchens, and he still remembered Wang Tong's words: "The barbarians are brave, but they lack stability. They can attack, But it may not be good at defending." In the current situation, at such a short distance, it is appropriate to use offense instead of defense.

The infantry formation of the Tiger Mighty Army mainly relied on firecrackers for killing and wounding. The spear formation moved at a normal speed and was mainly defensive. When the enemy attacked aggressively, the infantry formation was entangled with the opponent and could not move. The Jurchen team did not have this problem.

Everyone in the [-]th and [-]th regiments was maintaining their formation, while the regiment general and the deputy were giving orders to maintain the team, and the orders were passed on in a single voice.

In such a short period of time, the firecrackers cannot form a sustained firepower, but the bows and arrows can shoot continuously. In the direction facing the Jurchens, the Jurchens warriors within the range of the front row are all bows and arrows, and the arrows are thrown out. Their arrows didn't have a long range, but they were heavy enough that it was difficult for the Japanese pirate warriors and ashigaru to protect themselves effectively.

Although they were constantly killing and wounding, seeing the enemy's charge one after another, without strict formation and training, the formation of the Jurchen team was a little restless. Although the Jurchen team was uneasy, they did not dare to move around. They knew what Wang Tong's military law was. He dared to take his own life to make this joke, not to mention that the future of the Haixi Jurchen team almost depends on their battle this time, the greater the merit, the more benefits in the future.

When Sun Xin's order came, they breathed a sigh of relief. To be more precise, they untied the chains. They looked at those nasty Japanese pirates in front of them and they had long been ready to fight, but they could only defend themselves. Yu, I feel very suffocated.

The Jurchen team yelled again and again, the first few rows paused for a while, all of them raised their bows and raised their arrows, someone blew a sharp whistle, everyone shouted in unison, hundreds of arrows were shot at the same time, and the enemies in front of them were wiped out all at once After shooting a piece, the people in the front all took out their knives and axes and began to drive the horses.

Compared with the imperial guards who pay attention to rules and regulations, these Jurchen cavalry's fighting style is chaotic, but they are more fierce and brutal. The Jurchen cavalry with chain mail and cotton armor all make their horses faster in the initial acceleration stage Some, after coming to the forefront of the team, they became the arrows of the entire cavalry team.

The Japanese infantry swarmed towards them, and the distance they could charge was not long. The Jurchen cavalry drove their horses regardless, and charged directly.

The cavalry attacked the infantry. When the cavalry was about to collide, few infantry could attack the cavalry with their weapons. Most of them could not help dodging or fleeing. The same is true for Japanese pirates.

The two regiments of the Huwei army were originally rushing to the Ming army. The Ming army was on the defensive. Suddenly, the offensive and defensive transitions were made, and the opponent's cavalry rushed over fiercely. This transition made it difficult for the Jurchen team to adapt to the enemy. There was a big chaos, and I was afraid to run and dodge, but the action was to rush forward, to form a defensive formation, but my companions were all attacking, and all of a sudden it was completely messed up.

The depression just now when defending was completely vented in this attack. The Jurchen cavalry rushed away from the enemies in front of them but did not stop. Let them attack, but did not let them attack to a certain extent. Under such circumstances, the front If there are enemies, then don't stop, just keep going forward.

The situation on one side of the battlefield changed. Originally, the right wing of the Japanese pirates entangled the left wing of the Ming army, but now the right wing of the Japanese pirates was inserted from the flank by the cavalry of the Ming army. The situation was critical.

The Japanese bandits have banners and messengers active again, facing Wang Tong's direction, and you can see a large group of people starting to move forward.——
