Chapter 482

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Zhang Miao roared with all his strength while running, Ying Ting's face was full of panic, but what he was worried about was not his own safety, but that his own troops in Uji City would be killed. It is nothing but the fact that the Japanese army arrived too fast, and the troops in the city are still resting. If the Japanese cavalry seized the key points, the consequences would be really unbearable. If possible, Zhang Miao Zi did not hesitate to turn his horse's head to fight the enemy, but unfortunately, including himself, there are only nine cavalry in total. No matter how elite they are, they cannot be opponents of hundreds of Japanese cavalry.It was a futile sacrifice, and it was useless. All he could do right now was roar, hoping that his sentry would notice.

"Grandma is a bear, Zhang Miao is a bastard, even if he escapes for his life, he can shake the world, bah, bad luck, whatever you look at, cheer me up, machine gunner, get ready!"

On the front line of the Uji River, Tashan, who had just led his troops to the battle position, heard Zhang Miao fleeing and yelling from a long distance away, and couldn't help but laughed and cursed. Under the door, Zhang Miao and Zhang Miao are extremely close friends, and they have gotten to know each other well as early as last year when the new army was training. Seeing Zhang Miao, who was always coquettish and coquettish in the past, running around in such a panic, Ta Shan felt relieved for no reason, and at the same time, his eyes began to flash a bloodthirsty red light.

"Slow down, cross the river!"

Zhang Miao's eyes were very good. Although he was running away, he could already see Tashan standing on the height of the Hexi trench from a long distance away. He knew that his intercepting troops were in place, and his heart was tense. Immediately, he loosened it, but when the pursuers were approaching, he didn't dare to be careless. As soon as he rushed to the river, he quickly reined in the horse's reins, shouted, and led his troops carefully stepped onto the ice. noodle.

The Uji River is frozen, and people and horses can pass without hindrance, but the ice surface is very slippery, and it is easy to fall and fight if you are not careful. Because of this, although Zhang Miao's troops are impatient, they have to rein in their horses and slow down. Come on, the Japanese cavalry who are chasing after them are excited. They roared and charged wildly, and they chased to the river in an instant. At this time, Zhang Miao and others were still in the middle of the river. If there is no accident, it is very likely that it will be difficult to escape the attack and kill of the Japanese cavalry brigade.

"Heavy Gunner, hit me!"

Of course there are no accidents, some are just the expected firepower attack, no, with Tashan's heroic roar, more than a dozen machine guns in the first row of trenches fired at the same time, and the dense bullets were like a storm Then he swept towards the crowded Japanese cavalry brigade.

"Da da da……"

Strictly speaking, the machine guns of the Qing army are not yet mature weapons, and there are still some major defects, such as the inability to burst fire, and the magazine is large, but it is easy to jam. Once jammed, the entire magazine must be replaced. In addition, the barrel uses The lifespan is also short, the barrel must be replaced after almost ten ammunition drums are fired, otherwise, there is a danger of the chamber exploding, but in terms of firepower output, it is definitely the most advanced weapon of this era, with more than a dozen machine guns simultaneously The power of the fire is definitely equal to the volley of more than 120 soldiers at one post. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the nemesis of the cavalry, especially at this time, the Japanese cavalry is almost crowded together defenselessly. When the shooting came down, the men and horses immediately fell to the ground, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and in the time before a cup of tea, more than a hundred Japanese cavalrymen had already died in ignorance, and the rest saw that the situation was wrong. He dared to be beaten on the spot, turned around and fled in a panic, and was chased and swept by the machine gunners of the Qing army. Nearly half of the more than [-] Japanese cavalry who came after them died tragically on the spot. It was appalling.

"Brother Ta, thank you very much, I will invite you to drink flower wine later!"

Zhang Miao didn't care how badly the Japanese cavalry behind him died. He led his troops across the frozen Uji River, and immediately increased his speed. He rushed past the trench beside Tashan, left a word of thanks, and was done. He rushed to the gate of Uji Castle without looking back.

"Get out, you bastard, every time you talk about treats, I never saw you take out your pocket!"

One guy killed nearly [-] Japanese cavalrymen, Tashan was in a good mood, but he didn't plan to spare Zhang Miao for nothing, so he cursed at his back, immediately amused the officers and soldiers of the Qing army in the trench They all burst out laughing...

"So, the main force of the Japanese army has arrived?"

On the top of the city gate, Qiu Shan listened to Zhang Miao's report on the enemy's situation with sinking eyes, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he asked a question in a low tone.

"When I returned to the general, it was in a hurry, the general didn't look carefully, but as far as he could see, the number of incoming enemies was already over [-], as for how many enemies will come later, the general did not dare to say. "

The matter was so important that Zhang Miao didn't dare to speak nonsense, so she could only explain it truthfully.

"Well, then it should be here. I will go to the capital immediately and report the news to Lord Thirteen."

In fact, Qiushan also knew that the Japanese army must have arrived. The reason why he asked such a question before was just because he was worried. Nothing else, he only had more than 29 infantry under his command. As for the cavalry, there were only 10,000 cavalry. , To be precise, it is [-] cavalry, not for anything else, just because a cavalryman was killed in battle just now, with such a small force, it is obviously an extremely difficult task to block the [-]+ Japanese army for three days, and Akiyama couldn’t help it. He was extremely nervous, but the matter had come to this point, the war was inevitable, and Akiyama didn't say any more nonsense, so he raised his eyebrows and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"twitter!"

Now that Qiu Shan had given the order, Zhang Miao didn't dare to have any objections, so she hurriedly responded, then exited the city gate tower, rushed down the corridor, got on the horse, and led two of her men to go He rode his horse through the city and drove all the way towards Kyoto...

The Japanese army arrived very quickly. Just as Zhang Miao rushed out from the west gate of Uji Castle, the vanguard army led by Tokugawa and his party had already arrived at a distance of less than [-] steps from Uji River, but they did not swarm up. After a while, the [-] troops were lined up neatly on the plain, followed by silence, only the snorting of war horses occasionally rang out once or twice, in the dead silence, the spirit of murder was soaring And rise.

"Uji Castle is in front of us, and Kyoto is beyond here. His Majesty the Emperor is looking forward to our rescue. For His Majesty, we will die at all costs. Who dares to be the vanguard!"

Tokugawa and his party were obviously extremely satisfied with their [-]-strong army at its peak. Not to mention, even in the Warring States Period, when the war in Japan was the most fierce, there were very few people who could command such a large army. He had reason to be proud, but he was not overly confident and did not order the whole army to launch a general offensive. It was not because he didn't want to, but because of the terrain—the east bank of the Uji River is certainly a flat land, but when we arrived The west bank is where the mountains straddle. Uji Castle just strangles the gap between the mountains. It is the only main road from Kanto to Kyoto. It is not very generous from the front. Once you cross the river, you can expand The strength of the army is actually not too much, [-] troops is considered the limit, if it is more, not only will it not be able to increase the attack power, but it will also give the defenders the result of the battle because of the crowding. Because of this, Tokugawa and his party After Yan encouraged the soldiers, he asked loudly.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead his troops to take this city!"

"My lord, please order me to attack!"

……

Japanese people are ferocious by nature, and brave and ruthless people can be found everywhere. In such a large audience, no one is willing to give up. As soon as the words of Tokugawa and his party fell, many famous names and banners were already snatched up. , all of them are striving to be the first.

"Okay, if there are loyal and brave men like you around, He Chou will not break the Chinese people. I will have an order: Hikozo Torii will lead the attack, Makoto Uemura will follow, and Suzuki Yushiro will lead three thousand troops in the rear. With the support of gunmen, attack without interruption, and take down Uji Castle before dark!"

Seeing that the generals under his command were so eager to take the lead, Tokugawa and his party felt very relieved. They laughed and praised the generals very much. In the end, they ordered the three most skilled generals to lead the attack. As for the candidates for the fourth wave, Tokugawa and his party didn't think about it at all. Obviously, in his opinion, a strong attack by three groups of warriors is enough to win Uji Castle.

"Hay!"

The three Japanese generals who were named were as if they had already won the victory. They were all full of energy, and their voices of promises were full of incomparable pride.

"Well, let's go get ready, I hope to have a good night's sleep in Uji Castle tonight."

Tokugawa and his party were obviously very satisfied with the reaction of the three fierce generals under him, they nodded with a smile on their faces, waved their hands, and made a joke with an extremely relaxed state of mind.

"Hay!"

Hearing what Tokugawa and his party said, the three Japanese generals all raised their chests and raised their heads, and promised loudly, and then rushed to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters. After a short while, but when the password sounded repeatedly, the bird in charge of the first attack Ju Yansan has already led his troops to attack boldly. At the same time, teams of Japanese gunners also pushed dozens of old-style artillery and began to press forward. A great battle between offense and defense kicked off!
"Soldier, inform the artillerymen on the city to knock down the Japanese artillery positions for Lao Tzu, and the rest wait for my command and bring the thief closer before attacking!"

Seeing that the vanguard of the Japanese country had begun to press forward, Tashan couldn't help becoming nervous, and hurriedly issued two orders in a row, and the messenger who followed him sent Tashan's order back to the tower with semaphore artillery positions.
