Wanli 1592

Chapter 102 Eat Kato Kiyomasa

Ma Gui commanded the crossbowmen and spearmen to form a neat formation like a wall. Once the Japanese pirates approached, they would poke him into more than a dozen transparent holes with their sharp spears. The Japanese pirates' individual combat effectiveness is not low. However, the length of the weapon was not as long as that of the Ming army's long spears. Although a group of Japanese pirates who began to resist and tried to break through fought bravely, they still couldn't escape the end of being stabbed by the Ming army's long spears.

Then, Li Rusong rushed over with the bloodthirsty Jurchen cavalry. The bumpy terrain brought a lot of trouble to Li Rusong's cavalry. Many cavalry fell off their horses during the charge, and Li Rusong accidentally fell down. He became more and more manic, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, left his horse to fight on foot, and charged forward with his own soldiers. When the Liaodong cavalry and Jurchen cavalry saw them, they also followed suit, jumped off their horses and followed them on foot.

A group of Japanese pirates found that there were also ambushes behind them, they were shocked and rushed to fight. Li Rusong, as if seeing his father and enemy killed, rushed forward bravely with a big sword, knocked down a Japanese pirate with one sword, and severed another with a single sword. The spears of the Japanese pirates were cut into two pieces, and the two pirates raised their spears. Li Rusong held the ends of the two spears tightly with one hand, and with a loud roar, he caught them under his armpit. , two heads fell, and the blood of the two headless corpses was like a blowout.

Nurhachi followed closely beside Li Rusong, and bravely killed the Japanese pirate soldiers. The Jurchen cavalry were also first-class infantry fighters when they got off their horses. After fighting hard, they tore it with their hands and bit their teeth. The blood dripping from the bite was dying before they let go. A few pirates fought back with their guns. After killing a group, another group of Jurchen soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades. The iron gunner who lost the three-stage strike formation could not exert his combat effectiveness at all, and was killed by the Jurchen soldiers after one blow.

A few who reacted quickly were able to drop their iron cannons and draw their knives to fight. Most of them had their heads chopped off without even a chance to draw their knives, or half of their bodies were hacked off together.

Li Rusong took the lead and was unstoppable. He captured a Japanese general who killed three Jurchen soldiers in a row with one hand and strangled him to death, and pierced a Japanese general who had pierced through a Jurchen soldier with his sword. The sword continued to beheaded, and Xiao Ruxun's injuries were completely healed. Seeing such a scene of fighting, the blood in his bones was also stimulated. Regardless of the guard's stop, he drew the sword and led the guards down the mountain. In the battle circle, he cut down a Japanese pirate with a knife, and immediately fought with the rest of the Japanese pirates.

Seeing this, many crossbowmen also dropped their crossbows, pulled out their sabers and rushed down the mountain, fighting together.

This valley has become a valley of blood.

The rumble of the war drum representing the advancement and morale of the Ming army never stopped. The chief general and deputy general went to battle in person. Sheng, the morale of the Japanese pirates collapsed, and they kept shrinking their troops. They tried to fight back and were beaten back every time. They suffered heavy losses and gradually lost the ability to resist.

A small group of divided Japanese pirates kept appearing and tried to surrender. The soldiers of the Ming army who were red-eyed did not pay any attention at all. One knife cut down was a head. The Japanese pirates desperately found that they were powerless to fight and could not surrender. Many people tried to escape, and then They would always be killed and cut off their heads by the Ming army chasing their prey until the sun was up. Many Ming soldiers found that there was not even a single Japanese pirate standing beside them.

The sound of killing gradually subsided, but the soldiers of the Ming army who were jealous of killing were still not satisfied. They turned their eyes around to see where there were still Japanese pirates to kill, but the result was very frustrating.

More than 20 Japanese pirates are still making their final resistance. Everyone in this group of Japanese pirates holds excellent Japanese swords, surrounded by Ming army gunmen who formed an army formation, stabbing with long spears one after another, but many of them will be killed. Blocked or even cut off the tip of the gun, these Japanese pirates have extremely high force value, and they can also carry out effective counterattacks while defending, but they can't break through the thick formation of the Ming army anyway.

After more than two hours of killing, Xiao Ruxun wiped the blood from his face and looked around. He didn't even see a single living Japanese pirate. Seeing a Japanese pirate throwing down his weapon and begging for surrender, he was stabbed to death by three spearmen in the next second, and his head was chopped off.

The Ming army did not accept prisoners at all.

The counterattack of the more than 20 Japanese pirate warriors was in vain, and they soon died under the spears of the Ming army. Now, only one Japanese pirate was left alive in the entire battlefield, with dull eyes and a calm face, sitting with his head drooping. Looking at the Ming army spearmen slowly surrounding him on the ground, he didn't say a word.

Xiao Ruxun separated from the crowd and stepped forward, and soon Ma Gui, Li Rusong and other generals of the Ming army also arrived. Everyone surrounded this guy, looking at this guy's attire, and felt that he was an unusual person.

"The person who protects him is a Japanese samurai. The samurai are generally the personal guards of high-ranking Japanese officials. The number of them is very small and they are extremely elite. More than 20 samurai protect this person together, so the identity of this person is self-evident. Now, everyone, our luck is good, and we captured two Japanese generals in a row! This person must be Kato Kiyomasa! Come here, tie them up!"

"promise!"

Immediately, soldiers came forward with hemp ropes and tied Kato Kiyomasa as firmly as rice dumplings. During the whole process, Kato Kiyomasa did not resist at all.

There were proud smiles on the faces of the generals, Xiao Ruxun raised the battle sword above his head, and shouted: "We won!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

After a short period of silence, the surrounding Ming army burst into loud cheers.

Five days after the great victory in Pyongyang, another great victory was born. Their general led them to two consecutive big victories, two hearty victories, Xiao Ruxun's prestige rose rapidly, at least in this army, already No one is unwilling to obey Xiao Ruxun's orders.

The army rested on the spot, climbed to the clean mountainside, sat down to rest, and then drank water and ate dry food to recover their strength. The doctors in the medical battalion were unwilling to approach the battlefield, so someone carried the wounded soldiers to the valley They gave simple treatment to the doctors, and then transported them back to Yizhou to rest. Someone will count the losses and gains of the Ming army in this battle.

Two hours later, the army rested and lined up, ready to go to Yizhou to rest, and the preliminary statistics report was also completed. The Ming army participated in the battle with 890 troops, 170 people were killed, 560 were slightly injured, and [-] were seriously injured. Six people cut off [-] heads of Japanese pirates, and wiped out more than [-] Japanese pirates. Only the main Japanese pirate general Kato Kiyomasa was captured alive, and a small army of more than a hundred people fled. Kill, no one left.

In the two battles, more than [-] Japanese pirates were killed. The first and second Japanese army regiments were wiped out, and almost no one was captured. For the Ming army, this was a hearty victory. The first step of Xiao Ruxun's strategy was successfully completed, and the Japanese forces in Ping'an and Hamgyong were wiped out, and they got enough logistics bases to launch another attack on the southern Japanese invaders.

The war has just begun!
